thanks tried that no joy, thinking i might have to use kies to initialize the update again, but its going to wipe it....and i have just the way i like too. i might just end up rooting it and trying a new rom out if i have to do that.

Do you have a little star icon on the notifications bar at the top?
Use 2 fingers to slide the top notifications bar down, and change Priority/None to All

t'was it

[Q] Multi window does not work

Hello,
The multi window option of my GN3 doesn't work, the bar on the left hand side does not appear when i keep pressing the return button.
Of course, the multi window option is activated in the settings.
By the way, my GN3 is rooted.
Can someone help me fixing this problem ?

Check if the multiwindow toggle is on at notification or quick toggle menu.
Did you freeze com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService, by any chance?
If yes, that's the multiwindow bar you froze.
If no, are you long-pressing return or just clicking it? You need to hold return, not click it.

Peculiar. What it does for me when I press Multi Window is a cycle of three settings:
1. Show the (<| toggle (bad graphical representation) on the right (or left) side in the middle of screen.
2. Hide the toggle completely
3. Show the bar.
Try clearing the cache and data on com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService. If that doesn't help, try wiping the system cache in recovery.

I did that as well and i wiped the cache partition but it still doesn't work..
Another solution ?
Other than a factory reset, sadly no.

What if i install the flashbarservice apk of this thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451914
Will it work and is there a dangier for my phone if i do that operation ?

I tried to reset my phone with a rom stock thanks to Odin but it didn't work. I think that the method that i followed was not correct.
Can you tell me how to reset my phone with Odin ?
Nobody can help me ?
I'm waiting for solution too. .. but my case is it kept force close the flashbar service.

Hey Folks,
i did not want to open a new thread for this topic, so i searched and added my problem to this existing thread.
Since a few days my Note 3 (N9005) is also not able to use Multi Window.
The Option in Settings is not highlighted and can not be turned to "on" anymore.
S Pen Window works (but only with standard apps like calculator, browser etc.)
Screenshot of Quick Settings: (Notice gray background of the symbol)

I did not change anything in the last few weeks (only a new microSD (32GB))
Everything Stock, no Root, Official 4.4.2
Maybe there is a solution other than factory reset
Thanks a lot!
Greetings

Just reinstall MultiWindowTrayService and FlashBarService...
Ok,
that sound easy. But where do i find these services?
i took a look around in the file system, but did not find anything.
can you maybe share a link for the .apk´s from a reliable source!?
Edit:
After trying some .apk´s (from android host) they all respond with "app could not be installed".
Any other ideas maybe?
i dont want to restore my device/data but it seems like it is the only option.
Thanks a Lot!
greetings

[Q] Cant pull down notification bar

Hey Guys, Ive got an infuriating problem. I cant pulldown my notification bar, my notifications just sit there taunting me, or at least they did till I remembered the dedicated nav key option lg offers but still I don't want to have a non functioning notification bar. I didnt do anything to my phone around the time this happenEd, just picked it up and found I couldn't pull it down. I've tried restarting, reflashing and wiping. I've even got it back to "unrooted" status in both the settings and download mode incase its a digitiser issue. Any thoughts guys? Id rather not loose my pride and joy for a week at the least if you guys have some ideas.
Thanks for your time and assistance :fingers-crossed:
I jave tje same issue are you using the xsposed because thats about wen mine happened. After i updated i noticed the center clock freezes and notification wont pull down. How ever a system ui reboot(soft reboot) fixes my issue

I might have done something with xsposed, maybe hiding the location icon. I reflashed the entire phone so Im pretty sure that includes a ui reboot somewhere in there. Also I found out it works in landscape mode, I can just pull it down like regular. Using the dev features "show touches" "show touch data" in none of my touches are recognised where the notification bar would be (top 1/4th inch near mic) even when in landscape mode.

I have never used a different launcher, I tried downloading one (nova) it didn't make any difference,

I enabled things, not many, if any. They would have been enabled for a while tho before the problem arose. Wouldn't reflashing the system wipe out any software changes?

Lollipop Notifications - Snooze - Long Press (How to restore)

Hello all
I seem to have a spot of bother, I had two notifications on my device.
I Long Pressed the notification until the screen changes, Giving you a option to Snooze or press the little "i" button.
When you press Snooze, how the hell do you get your notification back?
I use Rotation to force all into Landscape.
I done the Snooze on the apps notification, and i cannot get it to re-appear, I use the notification as a quick toggle to change from Force to Auto
I also done it on ShareKM
and i cannot get neither of them Back.
Even when i go to:
Settings / Sound & Notification / App Notifications
WHen i configure to allow Heads up etc, Still nothing.
Not even after a reboot.
Its obviously not a Snooze button, its more of a Here hide this notification FOREVER!!!
Anyway has anyone got a little more experience with how this works?
I dont want to have to re-flash for the sake of 2 notifications lol

Nope never found a fix. I eventually just re flashed the ROM because I disabled SMS notifications and didn't have a choice. Now I'm being very careful around that button.

Bummer, guess that will be me as well
unsnoozing notifications
I suppose this is too late, but perhaps it can help someone else. I found the option to remove the notification snooze (or filter) under privacy.
Go to settings, privacy, and then filter notifications. You'll need to delete the app in the list. I had to reboot for my changes to take effect.

I can't change the ringtone.

Or the notification sound for that matter. Whatever I choose, the default sounds stay.
I tried wiping cache and dalvik. What now? This is so strange I don't even know where to begin.
I figured it out.
Somehow, during the update to b170, the tick button icon in the upper right corner when choosing a ringtone has disappeared.
It works if I press on the area where I know it should be, just that it's invisible.
Ringtone
Hi, I am having the same problem with my p9 and can't figure it out . I only have the phone a week so never seen it before the update. Any advice?

Have a nice day

Help again, My status bar wouldn't show up and Recent button doesn't work.

Yesterday I forgot to charge my phone so I left it right next to me. IDK If It's because I lap/sleep on it. The next day. The status bar wouldn't show the full thing up when I pressed \/, Some main status bar stuff got minimized and the Recent feature (I used it on my Home button btw) wouldn't work either. Is there any way to fix it?

Seems like you messed up a lot of things while you're a sleep, it's hard to figure that by just gussing, but doing a simple format should fix that, apps and contacts shall get removed, but files, media, ... will stay.

Yea .. go to Wipe > Swipe to factory reset.
Your installed apps and contacts will be removed, but it'll solve your problem.
