[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.

So you wrote xposed? Or are you saying you enabled things in xsposed

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?

[Q] Ultra power save mode clears all icons from home screens

Has anyone loaded another launcher and enabled Ultra Power Save mode? I've loaded Google Now Launcher and when I enable and switch back, all my icons are gone from the home screen except email. Basically have to set everything back up again. Anyone seen this or have a resolution? Maybe I just have to switch back to TouchWiz if I ever want to enable it?

I have no problems using it with Next Launcher 3D.

That happened to me too as soon as I returned from Power Savings mode. All icons gone except a few like you said.
It works with other launchers but the Google Now Launcher.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Just to know:
when y enable saving battery or ultra saving
the whole performance of phone decrease.
as responsive on callings
i told you cauze i forgot this morning that i switched on saving battery and calling responsive was awful

Had the same issues. I cannot use the power savings mode without having to add all widgets and shortcuts to my home screen. I even created screenshots of how they look like in case power savings is activated.
Any ideas on how to solve it?

i dont have any issue,try factory reset..maybe resolve yours prob?

Same issue for me. Googled the issue to find this thread, hoping for an answer. Sounds like a bug in Google launcher on galaxy tab S.
More research show problems with Google launcher on Samsung S5 as well using ultra power save mode. But Google launcher not "officially" supported on S5. Not sure if it is supported on Tab S...

2 years later and 3 phones laterl.. same issue

Bump in hopes someone has found a fix. Having the same issue with my galaxy on5, and it keeps deleting my themes. This is through the phone's theme setting no less

This fixed my s6

Touch "Reset app preferences" and it resets everything to default preferences.
It seems to have fixed my problem. It did not restore the apps on my home page to where I had them but that just means adding them from my apps menu again. I can use my apps as before and now I can update, install, and uninstall with Google Play again.

Post your Lollipop 5.01 bugs here

Seems we should have a thread with bugs and if anyone knows how to fix them, solutions since we finally have Lollipop now.
First bug I've encountered is in Google Voice.
If you open the advanced settings, two of the options are grayed out that should be available... they allow google voice to hear you if you have an app open, or the screen turned off, and also to allow you to train it.
If you reboot your phone, you WILL have access to these settings for a short period of time before it dies again. just retain it then.
Voice search works if you have a homescreen open, or if you have google search open, but the additional functionality is busted.
I also searched, and it looks like Sprint users ran into the same thing when they got lollipop a month ago.

Where the hell is the samsung app store? Kind die for Samsung keeps crashing too! Wtf?

Its called either galaxy gifts, or galaxy apps.
I'd just clear the cache on it though instead of turning it off.. they offer some apps with exclusive add ons, and some freebies you might want.
Also, I remembered something mentioned a few days ago.. go into application settings and turn off dm-ignite.
(Its a browsing snoop app that collects your data, and send it to Verizon so they can share it with marketing partners so they can serve you advertisements in browsers and applications.)

Go to Widgets and add the Galaxy widget to get to the Samsung store.

Not a bug, but it seems like one... this game is impossible! Has anyone had any luck with it? (Settings - About Phone - 5 taps on android version to get the lollipop logo, then swipe to get the game)

When using the power button to lock the device, there is an ever slight delay. The screen goes black but I can still accidentally open an app when setting it down. I did the OTA without factory reset and then ended up doing a factory reset. Still there. It reminds me of what used to happen on some roms back in the SGIII days. It's not a deal breaker and if that's the biggest issue, I can live with it.

Major problems with graphics inside of games. Marvel contest of champions looks like [email protected]#t now. Everything is dark and dull. Have been unable to find any fix for it

Fyi, when on home if you click the all apps icon, and when browsing all your installed apps hit the menu ellipsis, galaxy apps is an option in that menu. Just lucked out when I found d it.

Last night at 3am, got awoken to my phone vibrating for a notification even though do not disturb mode was on. Even had Llama put the phone to silent, still happened.

In the stock touchwiz launcher with the app drawer open, hit the top right button (menu) and at the bottom is "Galaxy Essentials"

Now that is odd. I have not seen that option since I had my Galaxy S5. Thought it was a Note thing. To confirm, it is not there and was never there on my Note 4. Wonder if it's because I purchased from Samsung rather than Verizon. Seems Samsung would include their own Essentials app though. All Verizon apps were present.

S health pedometer doesn't show on lock screen if lock screen notifications are enabled. And also with wifi on the mobile data arrows don't disappear and I'm still seeing some upload traffic on 4g while using wifi.

It is. It's not transferring a lot of data but a very small amount.

You might need to FDR. I also have notifications on lock screen enabled and as long as I don't have any notifications my pedometer shows up

Do you have weather bug that displays the current temperature in the notification bar? That seems to count as a notification so as long as that's on no pedometer.

No I keep my notification bar clear on the left. I think there is a way to set the priority level of weather bug notifications that will keep them off the lock screen. Seems I did it for play store on my S5 as I hated the lock screen notifications for app updates. I just can't remember how I did it.

Changing priority either blocks the notifications on the bar all together, allows them, or leaves them saying "sensitive information blocked". I don't think there is anyway around it.

My Note 4 seemed very slow at first after the update, so I entered the recovery menu and cleaned the cache partition, and that seems to have fixed it.

Swappiness == 130?
I installed on 4/3. BOAF. I didn't factory reset, I did clear the system cache (several times). Pretty much everything seems great! For a while- except, it is burning the hell out of my battery/CPU (which 4.4.4 never did) and I notice (via OS Monitor) that kswapd0 is running A LOT. Even when I am showing 450mb free, kswapd0 is using 6-10%. Often it goes up to 23% and my battery lasts 1/2 what it did before. I've rebooted a number of times, no change.
So, I started looking into kswapd0 and one parameter that is important is 'swappiness'.
I checked : cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
And it says : 130
Yes, 130! That's pretty insane - the standard default is usually around 60 (and could stand to be even less, frankly on a 3gb device like this). But anyhow, 130 is causing major issues!

Has anyone been able to get the advanced calling to work? I activated it but the option to video call is grayed out? Any ideas?

S8 Google searchbar

The standard rounded searchbar on the home screen has suddenly been replaced with the original one, and i cant understand why and where the settings for it is.
When i uninstall the google app, for a short period of time the searchbar goes back to being rounded, but after i locked the phone and the next time i unlock the phone the old searchbar is back....
Any ideas? Ive tried clearing the google apps cache and reinstalling it..

I may of found the problem or at least it was the case for ne.... I was beta testing the Google app so if you unjoin the beta testing then it'll sort itself back out and revert to the rounded widget

To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"

LeEco X651 help needed

Hi, I just got my x651 from China, it seems to be ok, except a few bugs I tried to manage but for only a few I found solutions so far. My rom seems to be somehow the latest one but it says x653 in some places, s28.
No OTA update available and scared to don't land in a far worst ROM...
1. EUI launcher was acting quite strange, the widget button was not working, the central button with LeEco stream could not be replaced, etc. so I got google now launcher which is clean and simple, but..
2. there are lots of apps (whatsapp) requesting normal permissions (contacts and local storage) but I cannot grant them because it is asking me to stop the draw over from settings, which I cannot do, since there is no way to do this (I don't have in menus options to disable this draw over thing), so I got locked in a damn loop.
q: is there any way to disable the draw over thing if there is no option in apps? or to grant permissions ignoring the draw over thing? because whatsapp is useless without contacts and saving abilities.
3. right after i started the phone I noticed the bold text used for titles is white with thick borders, as in other phones I saw in that option for high contrast text, also there is no way to change it since there are no options in accessibility regarding this.
q: is there any way to disable this or to unhide menu options? maybe a third party software like system optimizer?
any help greatly appreciated. as I said, I was tempted to try the last version of official rom but I have some bad experience with chinese apps in some former telephones so I'd rather check 10 times before cutting the rope, you know..

I have PRO 3 LEX653 (Helio x23), quite similar to yours since I don't know what the difference but we having the same problem.
For your question 1, EUI launcher is quite buggy for me too. You can use other launcher to use widget features.
Question 2, you need to disable "Swipe shortcuts" which can be found in "Setting > Accessibility > Swipe shortcuts".
Question 3, I don't understand, give screenshot might help.
Also, help me with my thread too!
