Guys,
I have recently started to have an issue with pulling the Notification Bar down.
Occasionally (and for no apparent reason) when I attempt to pull down the window it opens just a fraction with only the bottom grey part of the window showing.
No matter what I do I can not get it to open fully. The only course of action is to reboot the phone which then clears the problem.
Any ideas what is going on here?
I have also noticed this behaviour and wondered about it

Hello,
I get that as well from time to time. Only way to display the bar is to go in the main screen, press the menu button and sellect 'Notifications'.
Hope it will be fixed soon as it is really anoying bug.

Thanks for the tip... Forgot all about the Menu/Notification. I'll try it the next time it happens.
I have the same problem. I cannot, or only partially, pull down the notification bar. Menu -> notifications still works. It started 2 dags ago after i used Samsung's own RAM manager to clear level1 and level2 memory. First time I ever used this feature, and will also be the last. A reboot does not solve my issues.
Is there a way to clear notification bar cache, or the notification bar settings? This information must be stored somewhere, similar to that of other apps?
/edit
Yes, I also use launcher Pro.
On another note, after removing the battery when the phone was still on (so no proper shutdown) the problem disappeared.
hi,
could it be you guys are using launcher or launcher pro? I had the very same behaviour and installed adw launcher, wanted to compare those two anyway ... since I had installed adw launcher and used it the problem vanished ... so I assume its a problem of launcher pro ...

I've noticed this bug too and I'm also using Luncher Pro on Android 2.2 of course.

Ohh, give it time... If the little blighter has already been seen to happen there's a fair chance it will pop back up again right bang when you don't expect it.
I went well over a week without it myself then all of a sudden up it popped.

You mean you had the phone connected to a charger, otherwise it would simply reboot.
Only got to experience this once after 2.2 update. No apparent in 2.1. Here are my other observations. It does not pull down on portrait, but does on landscape. I am also using Launcher Pro, not sure if same thing happens if I am on TwLauncher. I installed z4mod lag fix thinking this has something to do with Samsung's programming. Haven't encountered it since. I would die if I would. LOL.
I just noticed that even after the z4mod lag fix, my Galaxy S is still not top notch in snappiness--lags from time to time, but way worst before the lag fix, phone was bordering useless due to how many times it froze. Kinda of irritating seeing that my X10, a much cheaper and technologically lesser phone, does not have this problem. I hope Samsung gets their act together as this phone has so much potential.
I have the same issue but I am on stock froyo, no lag fix or root. looks like a bug

I had the same problem with my galaxy s untill i uninstalled the Juicedefender app. Now it works great with no problem whatsoever (i use laucher pro).
I encounter the same issue once in a while, on stock froyo official update. Using launcher pro and zeam. Read somewhere that some apps that appear on the notification bar may cause the issue, so I've uninstalled them. Mines sticks whether in portrait or landscape format, and I believe after a notification appears. Shutting off and turning on doesn't always help but the problem usually goes away after a few days.

Don't forget hitting Menu and selecting Notifications will bring the Notification window down.
Hello,
I installed AVG from the android market to my rooted NC and when i uninstalled it. . . I wasn't able to get rid of the message ("this phone belonged to:xx protected by antivirus" at the lock screen next to the time.
How do I get rid of it?
I though the uninstall would get rid of this addition, but it hasnt.
HELP!
Try reinstalling AVG, disabling that feature, then uninstalling AVG again.
reinstalled and no option to take it out
How do i get rid of it. Help.
How did you uninstall it?
After you posted, I installed it from market, ran a scan, laughed that it found super user as malware, saw the banner on the the lock page, long pressed the icon to bring it to desktop, long pressed again and dragged it to the trashcan and did not release till I got the uninstall pop up. Looked at lock screen and banner was gone.
I am using Launcherpro. I do not know if other launchers uninstall apps like that, adw does too.
THANKS!
thanks! it helped alot. yeah, the problem was that i was using the market app uninstaller. I am using launcher pro and your instructions got rid of the text.
Thanks!
yup Launcher pro works.
just the treat.
Cheers
Hello all, over the last 2-3 days when installing apps with known widgets they aren't showing up so you can select and add. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and nothing. If I restart the device then the widget will show up to add. Another odd thing is when the app is uninstalled the widget is showing up to add. The app is uninstalled and this is happening. I try to add the widget to see what it does and it creates the little Android. If you long press to add the widget to the home screen it gives a meassgae that reads "Create Widget and Allow Access? After you create widget, Google app can access all data it disolays. Always allow Google Apps to create widgets and access their data with a check box. There are also cancel and delete options. They both don't do anything. If you check the box and select create it brings you back to the widget select area. Device is stock. No recent apps aside from one bad weather app. Any ideas? This is a new issue aside from the early shutdown before 0% battery. First it was 2% 15% and now 18% tonight. Disappointing for a $650 device. Thanks!
I didn't understand, actually what are you talking about?
Sorry, I realize it may be confusing. It seems to be unusual. I've attached a screenshot of what shows then you try add a widget that is from an app that is uninstalled. There should not be a widget listed in the listing to add when an app is uninstalled . Now the initial issue is when an app is installed that offers a widget I'm not seeing it in the widget listing area. I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled and widget still doesn't show in list. If I reboot the phone then I usually see the widget. Very odd! Any thoughts?
Having this problem too. Just added CurrentWidget and its not showing under "add widget". Restarted and the widgets there. Stock 5.1
I have the same problem , you have to reboot phone after adding widgets each time

Yeah, there are others with the same issue. For sure seems like an operating system bug. 5.1 update did not fix it. It just started a few week ago. I wonder if it has something to do with the stock launcher.
I've always thought that was the norm, but others feel it is a bug.
Try restarting system UI after install instead of a reboot and I'm told that should accomplish the same thing for you to see the new widgets in the list.
Are you guys using the standard Google launcher? I have never seen this issue but run Apex or Nova

So...took the plunge and got a Nexus 6. Seems like a great phone.
Got it home, grabbed the OTAs, unlocked the bootloader and rooted using CF's root .bat (found in the all in one post).
Now I'm having issues and I can't see where they're coming from.
Started, I think, after I added email accounts to the gmail app. I will be using the phone and it will soft reboot (boot animation, but thankfully I have renamed that awful AT&T boot animation, then lock screen).
Installed the latest TWRP and cleared the cache, following another post's recommendation, but that hasn't helped.
Aside from returning to stock and exchanging the phone (which I very well may do, but I'll go to a busier store to do it) does anyone have any ideas? I'm completely stock, using Nova Prime aside from the recovery and rooting (still encrypted).
Box says this is 2014-12-21 manufacture date, green dot on the box.

Take a nandroid backup in TWRP then do a "factory reset" (just a standard one, not one that does all the partitions) and run it with no apps or extra settings set. See if it still does it.
Wish it wouldn't auto-download those AT&T apps, but I will give that a try. Updating the Play Store apps now. I skipped the backup, mostly because I haven't done enough on the phone to need it (set up Nova Prime and my email, then had the issues and I went to bed).
have you tried raising voltages across the board? by 10-20mV..

I have not done anything with the kernel at all.
Apps that I had installed when issues started (or rather when I noticed them):
Facebook
Facebook Messenger (I'm not sure, but this one may have been the last one installed before the issues started; I don't remember a reboot prior to installing this)
Nova Launcher / Nova Prime
Widget Locker (wanted a separate lockscreen wallpaper, but there may be a better way to do this)
Weather Underground (the last in a series of weather apps)
Tesla Unread Plugin (which I wish worked with things like Handcent or Textra, though it may...I haven't tested)
Root Explorer
That's it.
I saw some people pointing to the stock SMS and or Hangouts apps and disabled both, but to no avail.
So far after the factory reset, everything seems ok. I'm not sure if one of the above mentioned apps is the cause of the issues, though.

The FB app is very buggy , its best to FaceBook within a browser rather then using the app.

That's unfortunate...
Side note, after performing the factory reset within TWRP it seems to be working ok now. Haven't had a reboot (also haven't used it much).
Going to reinstall Nova and see if my good luck continues.
I can live without the Facebook app if I need to (you'd think they'd get their act together, but I'm pretty sure that Facebook on my computer causes a massive memory leak too).
As a note, though, none of the reboots happened within Facebook. They mostly happened within Gmail, actually, though some happened in the Nova Settings too.
I have all those apps you have and never have random reboots.

Hm...
Well, everything seems ok right now with just Nova. Going to wait a bit before I download other apps, though. Textra or some other type of app where I can customize notification sounds is a must (I prefer to have a different sound when my wife texts me vs random text messages). Not sure on email client, though. I've used K-9 in the past, but the new Gmail may be the one I go with for now.
So far I have reinstalled everything except for Widget Locker and the 2 Facebook apps. So far so good.
I noticed when browsing lockscreen apps that Widget Locker hasn't been updated in almost 2 years...that's unfortunate.
Tried another lock screen app that was nice, and would have worked, but it stretched the wallpaper I wanted to use (picture of one of my kids) to the point where it was pixelated...that alone made me uninstall it, even though it had everything else I wanted...

No, it was Hi Locker that I used.
AcDisplay is on my list to try, though. It keeps coming up on the lists of the top lockscreen apps.
Edit: There doesn't seem to be a way to use a separate image for the lockscreen...Black background or homescreen wallpaper is all I could find. If it's there, I'd love to know where.
Currently running unofficial CM13, but this issue has occurred on CM12.1 as well.
Every time I try to download the app, the actual download completes but the notification "Installing Facebook" just sits there forever. When I go back into the Play Store, the notification goes away, but the app isn't installed. It also causes any other downloads to lock up until a couple minutes have passed.
On CM12.1, it would download and install, but the installation process would take ~5 minutes.
I'm figuring it's probably an issue with the app itself, but I was just curious to see if anyone else is having this problem.
I face this problem quite often. Even updating the app is a hard task for me now. It either would take ages or doesn't install at all.
I don't know what could be the reason behind it but try keeping the play store window just as it is after touching the install button. It works for me at times. While the window is changed, it never installs.
Have the same. Installed FB lite.
same problem i have rooted stock rom. i thought that problem is due to download manager, my thread is also there at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/change-stock-download-manager-t3252514
have the same problem, doesn't have an answer, but for me it became worse with CM13. on CM12(.1) it was just as you described, but now it slows down the whole phone, rendering it useless. I suspect it runs out ot memory.
Please post here, if someone has a solution

I think it's the app itself. Facebook probably hasn't optimized it for 6.0 yet.

I've had a similar problem, the issue was that I installed FB Messenger app before the Facebook app itself. Uninstalling both and then installing Facebook first, Messenger second fixed it for me.

They both seem to take a while to install. Probably because Facebook installs 300+ MB worth of data.
