I recently updated my Galaxy S4 (i9500) to Android 4.3 [MJ5] using Kies. The phone is completly stock and non-rooted. After the update, I'm unable to pull down notification bar. However, after I restart the device, it works well for some time and then again refuses to be pulled down.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I have lot of data on the device that will be difficult to restore and hence and donot want to format the phone. Any suggestions/solutions that might resolve the problem?
Also, after the 4.3 update, when I check for OTA, a popup shows saying "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." Pulling out and reinserting SD card didn't solve the issue.
Same problem. .. No solution yet.

I am going mentally insane trying to figure this out. I have refreshed and wiped my phone 5 times for the same issue, but to nothing good. The notification bar simply wouldn't want to respond.
What's getting to my nerves is that in one of my experiments with solving this issue, I kept my phone as stock with no third party apps, and still faced the issue. I kept knox uninstalled thinking that's what is causing the issue, but that's didn't help. I did lots of these kind of attempts, but to no avail. I'm concluding that is a serious Bug that Samsung is not going to address to soon. And we're simply screwed until.
Same problem.. DEAL BREAKER
I am facing the same problem after update to 4.3 Andrew this is a deal breaker if Samsung does not fix immediately. Thinking of rooting Andrew moving to cyanogen mod beta.. This is crazy. Nobody tested this for sure.
4.3 official update notification panel drop down problem
I have same problem with this update.can anybody solve this problem ?

Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?
figured out temporary solution
After a lot of playing around, I seem to know what's causing the problem. It's the Phone (Dialer) application that is creating an issue.
when the problem arises again, try making a call, and while the call is being placed, pull down the notification bar....It begins working.
obv I Ousby this is no permanent solution, but will help you from needing to restart.
If anyone with deeper knowledge can PLEASE look at what from the inside is causing it, and how can we make a permanent fix, much appreciated.
let me know if it works for you, the temp fix.

[/QUOTE=arpit88;46809031]Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?[/QUOTE]
Mine says official, for you, I'd suggesting finding the correct 4.3 version with the correct region for your i9500 / i9505, and redo the firmware. Download the firmware off Sammobile, and use Odin 1.85 whilst your phone is in download mode. If you don't know any of these terms used, Google it. It'll be helpful.
Basically, the notification bar problem and device modified problem are separate issues.
Did u install the indian firmware or the unknown one?
yes boys same issue here after 4.3 installed
also my notification bar when its stacked works when you try it on a call but its a temporary solution. mine is official also. anybody find a permanent solution? should we again root 4.3 on 4.3? I think it must be that the 4.3 was installed over 4.2.2 maybe if we make hard reset it will be fixed?
It's the Indian firmware, that I downloaded using Kies but still it started showing as "custom".
I took the phone to samsung care, they said Official 4.3 isn't released for s4 in India yet. Lolz. However, then one of there geeky employees reinstalled the 4.3 update and now my both issues have been fixed. Notification bar is now working perfectly fine and Device status is now Official.
official 4.3 also problem task bar
mine is official because in germany 4.3 is released on samsungs update and my phone is from germany. sould I take it to samsung service and they reinstalling again 4.3 is finally fixed?

I got an ota update xxuemj8 just now that seemingly has solved the problem. My test so far hasn't given complaints, but.let's see what's the situation in long term.
Indian version i9500 currently updated from xxuemj5 to xxuemj8
Should solve all your problems too if you refresh your phone with Odin. Meaning reinstall from fresh by downloading from sammobile and.installing.through Odin
UPDATE XXUEMJ8 doesnt help
Update: XXUEMJ8 doesnt solve any problem. The bug still exists, notification bar stops working.
Also, another issue is that under Settings > Battery, even if Wi-Fi is switched off, the wifi blue bar shows full all the time as if it were ON.
This confuses me to if this is only a software bug in displaying the battery status of settings where wifi is truly off, and it thinks it is on.
OR
Wifi remains on throughout, and switching it off in the software doesnt actually switch it off, eventually taking more battery.

Android 4.3 Update
I DEFINITELY AGREE with the earlier post by Kish0007. The bug is related to the PHONE (Dialer) App. The problem always occurs after receiving a phone call.
I changed from German Android 4.3 to Unknown Android 4.3 as posted on Sammobile hoping for the problem to disappear. But it did not !

The possible solution is to format your phone after installing 4.3 upgrade.
Goto Hard reset by pressing your Volume Key+Power key+Home Key......
Then goto Wipe data/Factory reset.........Don't worry your android Upgrade will not be reset, it will be as it is (4.3)....just it will format your data
and cache.
Do not forget to take backup of apps and your other data......!!
It worked for me & hope it will work for you as well........!!
I try format several times but problem still exist
update the firmware before format.
After upgrading your OS , please update the firmware from PDA:MJ5 to PDA:MJ8 also,
then try formatting.
Same problem after updating on my Samsung S4
Same problem after updating on my Samsung S4.
I have the Middle east version UAE. MJ5 build number currently.
i noticed the dialor was started this issue.
i hope there is a solution for this soon.
still issue after hard reset

I made hard reset on my phone and tha issue still exists. from samsung service they told me its possible the viber on 4.3 that makes the problem so I unistall it I made hard reset but I still have stacked tool bar sometimes after receiving or making calls but no so often.
notification bar problem
I updated my s4 i9500 to 4.3 indian ver. INU mj5 via kies and recently MJ8.. and same problem happening to me... notification bar would not pull down on call ends... calling again fixes the problem but thats kind of annoying every time for fix..... even transition animation scale resets on opening camera app.... then I thought to give a clean install via odin on same firmware from sammobile... ie. INU MJ8 21 oct build.... but this even did not solve the above problems. .. I also uninstalled viber thinking it might be the cause.... factory reset... cache wipe ... everything but to no avail.... any permanent fix would be appreciated. ...
Phone Settings
Guys,
Do you have the phone setting answer call using the power button selected ? Please, let me know. My notification bar never crashed today after I un-selected this option.
Thanks,
Mich
Hello all,
I am having Samsung S5 SM-G900F which after an update to Lollipop is constantly rebooting. The phone reaches the inital setup pages (Set Language, Wi-Fi, Account etc) but the android applications fail one by one with windowses popping up:
- android.phone.process stopped
- Email has stopped
- com.google.processes location stopped
- NFC stopped
- Google Play stopped
etc.
till the phone reboots and again.
1. I have tried factory reset/clear cache - nothing
2. I have reinstalled the Lollipop rom via odin but unfortunately same result.
3. I have downgraded to Kitkat but same on Kitkat.
4. I tried to repartition nand via odin - seems can't. I don't know how.
I have no other ideas. Appreciate any help reviving my device.
Regards,

i had the same problem... then i replace the battery now its working fine for me.
Thank you umarmasroor! I will try the phone with a new battery and I will post if this has solve the problem.
Just tested the phone with a new battery. Same thing. Maybe I should seek a speciallized help from a service center? Any other ideas?
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to watch some movies from Google Play Movies but everytimes it gives me this error: "There was a problem while playing, touch to retry.. or reboot the phone" (I don't know if it's the correct translation, my language is italian).
I googled a lot, and I found some possible solutions, like:
- reinstall the application
- clean app's data and cache
- wipe dalvik
- switch to 3g / change wifi
- enable AwesomePlayer instead of NuPlayer
- set the governor to "persistence"
I tried everything, but the problem is still there. I even tried to change rom and kernel but it hasn't solved it!
So I lost my hopes, and switched to Netflix.. but here, same problem! After pushing the play button, it starts a loop with the "loading in progress".. I tried the solutions above, but I haven't solved it yet
Am I the only one with this issue? How can I fix this?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english
EDIT: I just discovered that by enabling the "simulate secondary screen" option under Developer settings, the movie magically starts into the secondary screen (this works for google play movies only... not for netflix). Anyone knows the reason?
I haven't come across this problem before. It sounds like the kind of bug you might encounter if you are using a custom ROM or kernel. If you are, you could try flashing back to a stock build and see if the problem goes away.
If you are using a stock ROM and kernel, it sounds like you have tried almost everything and it might be time to perform a factory reset. Obviously this is not a common problem with the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, so it might be the result of a settings change you have made. The quickest way to test the theory will be to perform a factory reset - you can backup first if you want to.
If that doesn't solve the problem, it must be an issue with your WiFi or mobile data provider... but this is a very unlikely possibility.
Good luck with the problem.

Thank you for your suggestions
At the moment I'm using Audax ROM and Kernel, but I had the same issue with the stock rom + arter97 kernel..
I had a look to the logcat, and by searching the errors on google I found other users in my same situation (with custom ROMs) I tried the fixes suggested but none of them worked
Same problem. Done most of the solutions provided. Nothing Works. Using Wanam Lite on SM-910C. Anyone could help. :-/
friendz my samsung grand camera not working it giving error like can't connect to camera so tried to force stop and cleared cache and also deleted cache partition from recovery and rooted also and installed cm13 6.0 to it but still getting error like can't connect to camera ,so suggest me some tricks,
Try removing battery for 10 seconds then put it back in, see if it works. If not, try reflashing a firmware
i tried reflashing it but giving me same errror..

This error appeared randomly or you had any issues flashing? Maybe you dropped it and caused hardware damage?
If it's a software issue, refreshing to your stock rom should fix it so if you have already tried that it is probably a hardware related issue.
Well pulling out the battery trick worked for me and my two friends with the same camera problem, I suggest it to others as will, please try it before going to the extreme of flashing firmware.
thank you guys it really helped me, I found that its hardaware issue and i solved now my phone's camera working fine ,thank you. once again,,
Hey guys!
In the last week my wifi&BT stopped working suddenly, without any software change or new app installed. e.g. (when I swipe wifi, it looks like it is working, but cannot find any network)
mobile data still functions.
After reading quite a lot of manuals, I understood it might be a hardware malfunction, However, I tried to do few things already to understand if there might be another reason, none of the below worked
-Play with aeroplane mode and wifi.
-wifi fix applications
-Factory data reset.
-Wipe the phone and flash oxygen 3.1.0 via TWRP.
Before giving up, Wanted to ask if you have any advice that might help:
Any customized room that might will work?
Any way to check the phone log to understand what happens when we do it?
Any general advice?
Thanks in advance!
E.
try this rom
follow the guide completely

Earlier today, my fingerprint sensor/home button completely stopped working.
I tried restarting, wiping cache and dalvik cache, re-installing the ROM, and I even went back to OOS and H2OS (both stock ROMs) to see if it would work. Alas, nothing worked.
A friend of mine then called me. I told him my home button is dead. He told me it happened to him once, and all he had to do was force restart the phone and it worked again.
I'll suggest that you try the same.
Hold the power button for ten seconds while your phone is on and it'll force restart.
Hope this fixes your problems, mate!
