Status/notification bar disappears

My status bar keeps disappearing. It pops back up for a moment, every few seconds, but then disappears again. It's like the device thinks it should be in full screen mode or something. I first experienced it after installing ever note, which went to a full screen display after I logged in. I un installed ever note and re booted twice... the second re boot seemed to fix it. But it just happened again when I launched the xda premium app.
I also notice that it no longer says my name, just "my kindle", in the status bar... before disappearing again. Maybe that element of the launcher is stuck in a cycle???
Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

I'm seeing the same thing. But, I think it might be worth noting what I have done to mine that may be affecting it:
1) Rooted
2) Installed Google Play
3) Removed my ads (unofficially)
I found if I go to the kindle management page on Amazon.com and change the name of my kindle, it does push it down to the kindle. However, it loses after some time again.

So far I have not rooted... just side loaded GMail and Google maps. Amazon cs was not very helpful...told me to swipe down and hit sync, but the problem is that I can't access sync or any of the tools in the status bar

OK, the root was what I assumed was causing it. If you haven't really modified yours, then it might just be an bug. Perhaps an update will fix it.
Anyone have a completely stock KFHD and noticed this?

Did you get the OTA update?
I had no problems stock and running fine rooted now with Google apps. Might want to restore to stock and test each app you install.

I did a cold shutdown and power up, and so far its doing better. I'll see if it decides to act up again. Fingers crossed.

I think it will do it again for you...I'm having the same problem. I have _not_ rooted, but I have installed Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Mail, Google Maps, and Google Play Books...along with the Google Framework and Google Login. I just noticed this behavior today.
Yesterday I was able to get the Google Framework working with my apps by installing Google Framework and then reinstalling all of the apps that started not working. I'm wondering if it is having Google Framework on the KFHD. I needed Google Framework to get Google Drive working (which is working quite well now).
Be nice to get the status bar back. When I shut down (not sure how to do a reboot), the status bar shows up. Then after a while...it goes away again.
UPDATE: It seems that after I shutdown and restart the notification bar is fine until something tries to write to it. So whenever I get a new notification, it seems to crash the notification bar. I did install USAToday last night. I've uninstalled Google Framework this morning and I'm getting the same behavior. It would be nice to know what is causing it.

I uninstalled in the following order:
1) Google Framework
2) UsaToday (since I just downloaded it last night)
3) google Drive
4) Google Mail (when I uninstalled this my notification bar _magically_ came back and has been working ever since.
I don't have time right now, but I will probably reinstall everything to see if I can reproduce the issue and then see if running GMail fixes the issue. I noticed that something was doing a notification which caused the bar to disappear. I wonder if it was some issue with Gmail.... I'll report back later tonight...unless someone else with the issue can verify things.

I'm having a hard time reproducing the error. It hasn't recurred since yesterday afternoon. It may be noteworthy that the last time the notification bar disappeared, I opened GMail to send something and the bar reappeared. It has remained since then.
Go figure... I wouldn't worry too much about it being a Google framework issue, though. At least a few people have reported the same problem on the amazon forum.

I went through a factory reset today, and redid everything I did previously. The only difference is I did not install the GoogleLoginService.apk as I had before. Thus far I am not experiencing any disappearing notification bar. Things have been writing to the bar all morning, and I have opened every app on the device without an issue thus far. I'll report back if it decides to disappear again.

Well it is happening on my kfhd as well. Guess I will have to do a reset as well but rather not to tell the truth. Maybe unregister and reregister or is that the same thing
Update: just went into gmail and after closing, the bar is back! WT.

I tried the unregister/register and it didn't help. I realized that I did not install Gmail this time either, another difference from last time. Perhaps its the culprit?

I have a very good feeling it is gmail. I did not have this issue until after I installed gmail and the notifications started to come in.
That is when I started to see on instances the notification bar disappearing. Going back to the original carousel, opening gmail seems to have fixed the issue. In the play store, it says that it was updated for 7" tablets (most likely for nexus 7) but perhaps not having the proper support for the KFHD7. Uninstalled gmail and everything is back to normal.

It has been two days since my status bar disappeared. After opening GMail, it reappeared and has stayed without any more problems (knock on wood).
So... don't despair, GMail can work with the fire!

my kindle is rooted
this happened to me today after i installed accountsandsynsettings apk and allowed gmail to syn opening gmail has returned the notification settings. oddly it was when i got an email at two 2am that i noticed the notification bar disappearing tried shutting down the kindle then turn on but will not fix . but since i open gmail its back.

It definitely appears to be caused by Gmail. Just turn off notifications from Gmail in the app settings and you will no longer encounter the issue.

I had the same problem. I went into "Settings" and there is a section to manage Notification settings. I just turned off notifications to apps I didn't need and the problem stopped. I didn't go as far as figuring out which App was responsible but it seems that certain apps can screw it up.

Same issue. Playing with different scenarios. Worst case I will re-install from scratch.

Again, Gmail is a sufficient cause.. there may be other apps as well, but if you disable Gmail notifications it will most likely solve the problem

Thanks man! I did exactly as you described and my notification bar is back. What is causing it to disappear?

Amazon and google not playing nice. Gotta remember that you are sideloading it onto the KFHD.

Notification Favorite Is Gone?

i am getting notifications on my Gear and can tap them when they popup to see the message or whatever. all i have changed is i switched to Watch Styler and now i no longer have the "Notifications" favorite?
when i had it until just a few minutes ago i could tap it and see Gmail, FB, G+ etc... and view previous alerts.
i looked in Gear Manager and it is not listed anywhere to add it to favorites or anything and its just there.
any thoughts as to something i may have done and how to get it back?
thanks

Which firmware? Others had noticed this too

Reset without restoring does the job.
Had the same issue.

Sadly had to reset. So anytime I change the icons in the settings will delete Notifications? I can't even access Notifications in the Gear Manager My Apps. Quite sad.

You should not have any problems with notifications tab now. I haven't since I reset.

I don't think it ever existed in gear manager?
Just one of those things that requires a reset to appear (usually because of permissions). Not uncommon for android

I had the same problem running Null 18 and GM 1.6. Resetting was the only way to fix. EVERYTIME you try to modify your favorites apps on GM Notifications icon will disappear again and again the only fix is resetting your Gear. I did it three times just to be sure

Push notifications still not working for some apps

Hi all.
I am sure this question has been asked again and again.
But I am having troubles with push notifications working for some apps
I.e. Pushbullet, kaokaotalk
They don't work unless i open the app.
WhatsApp and Facebook seem to be working fine.
Anyone have an absolute fix?

Even gmail and Google inbox don't work.
They have been setup as protected apps etc already

Try adding them to the memory whitelist.
Phone manager>system optimization (paintbrush)>settings (gear top right)>memory cleanup whitelist
My understanding is apps in this list will not clear the memory when you "kill" the app. I could be wrong. Please respond to this post if this fixes your problem or not.

Two important settings, under Battery (protected) and under "Apps" (ignore optimization). Also try to put CPU to performance

Solve -> Problem with Pushover notification on lockscreen
my notification did not show on notification and lock screen.
1. Phone manager>system optimization (paintbrush)>settings (gear top right)>memory cleanup whitelist
2. Setting>advanced settings>Battery manager>Power plan> Smart or Performance>
3. Setting>advanced settings>Battery manager>Protected apps> Turn on for Whatsapp and Pushover
4. Clean Master < I think this is the culprit causing problem > Ensure Tools>Notification Cleaner is disable. My was enabled. and it cause notification not to show on the Lock Screen.

I have a note 8, but emui 4.1 is pretty standard across the line. Having the exact same issue. Have tried the PNF, whitelisted google play and whatsapp in the memory whitelist, protected apps, ignore battery optimizations etc.
I can repeat the error. So it seems that it ignores the whitelist like you suspected.
Steps. Clear all apps.
Open quicksync manually sync accounts that i want to show up.
Notifications appear.
Go to app task manager view with the square button, kill app.
Send message. No dice.
Have even tried using the PNF heartbeat fix, but to no effect.
Now i have one odd issue. When i received the device, google play services was already installed, but some how it was in the system folder despite the phone being locked. Not sure if that is an issue, since if anything i would suspect that would be helpful instead of harmful, but i have no way of removing it to test since bootloader is locked , and the play services is persistent over a factory reset.
Anyways, any other solutions i have not thought of would be helpful, huawei makes such nice devices, but if you get stuck on a chinese rom, it can be a nightmare for some.. went through the same headache with mate 7 but managed to solve its notifications issues.

Go to Settings-->Accounts-->Tap on the Menu button at the bottom-->Check[?] Auto-sync data

Yes I have tried that. For now I think i will just add my chat clients and aquamail to the locked status on the task manager and keep them open... I have tried all iterations of power saving, etc.. so I think it may just be the build unfortuneately. Hopefully EMUI 5.0 will be a bit less invasive, as they said they are going back to a more stock android vibe to compete in international markets.

Hello, I am in the exact same situation. Did you get some luck?
I updated mine to emui5, but nothing changed.
Do you have a AL10 chinese version? I am thinking that this might be the point.
Thank you.

Delayed notifications after upgrade to Android 8

I have a tmobile note 8 and ever since I upgraded to Android 8, push notifications are coming in delayed and all at once at random times. Take outlook for example, an hour might go by and then all of a sudden dozens of notifications hit all at once. I checked if maybe battery settings were messing with outlook but it is not blocked and my phone is in performance mode. Seems like my phone is going into a deep sleep and not doing push notifications as they come in. Any idea what is happening?

Same thing happened to mind after update. But seems to be resolved now. I think I went into Apps then pressed the three dots in the up right corner and chose reset app preferences. I also messed about in the notification menu somewhat prior to that.

Factory reset. A good practice after a major software update.

Disable the GOOGLE app in app manager. It should ask you if you want to go back to the factory app. Just agree to this. This is assuming you checked to make sure Battery Manager wasn't turning off your app or the data saver wasn't killing your app data access. If you have done these things and your app notification is still delayed it is being caused by the GOOGLE app. Listed as "Google" in app manager. Hope this helps someone else.
UPDATE: I should have mentioned for a permanent solution and to allow you to continue using the GOOGLE app you can go to the Google Play Store, find the installed GOOGLE app, click uninstall to revert to the factory GOOGLE app, once uninstalled click the three dots at the top right and Uncheck the Auto Updates to the GOOGLE app. This will allow you to retain the factory app functions and should resolve this notification issue at the same time.

Cannot disable the V40 messaging application

I use an app called Mood for all my SMS messaging and really like it. It is working perfectly on my V40, but every morning at the same time I am getting a spam message in the Messaging app and the notification goes to my smart watch. It is really annoying , but I do not know how to stop it. The message does not come to the Mood app, just to Messaging. There is also no apparent way of blocking it in Messaging. The phone will not let me uninstall or disable the Messaging app. I think I am pretty much out of luck, but though I would ask all you people at XDA. If anybody would have a solution, somebody here would!
Edit: There is a "mute" option in Messaging that I just activated for this message. Did not notice this before. I will find out tom morn if this works!

Long click on the app icon, tap on the i in circle option, go to permissions and untick every one of them. Then, go to storage and wipe data and cache. That should do it. While you're there, you may also want to disable it, undo every access the app possibly could have. Whittle it down to nothing more than taking up space in the system partition

I did all of that, plus installed an app called Package Disabler for LG devices, disabled Messaging in it, and I am still getting this message every morn. The mystery deepens!

Sounds like a 'push notification' from an app, not a regular text message.

Verizon model? Is the spam message related to the app or something else?
If you get another notification, long press it in the notification screen and disable notifications from the app.

Using Android Messaging app and never had this issue.
