The icon gear blocks notification bar - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi, I need your opinion. I have a problem with the notification bar after the last update of Android. Randomly appears gear icon on the bar and after that, I cannot pull down the notification bar. I don't know if that problem is related to the Android update. Maybe it is something else. I need to know how to identify the gear icon. When I kill all running apps, gear icon disappears and everything is OK.
What process could do that? I don't have root permissions. I have official global ROM with MIUI Global 11.0.6.0 (QFAEUXM). I don't want to do a factory reset.
Thank you so much

Yikes... Did you do anything that could've triggered that? Like for instance, were you playing with system apps or trying new settings? Or game mode? Because I know that game mode has an option that won't let you pull down the notification bar. I know that it may not be possible for that to happen, but I have to ask just in case (I'm talking about the game mode scenario).

the notification bar remains black and can't be pulled down

havesam problem tough.but i just need scroll down little bit,i mean not from edge of the screen.

Same issue, Mi 9 SE, MIUI Global 11.0.2 .... with the same gear icon, with the same solution, what you just mentioned. Did anyone find a working solution?

found out what's causing the ominous notification
Hey, I downloaded an app called Notification History and it showed me that most probably it's the notification linked below. Unfortunately I'm still unable to solve the problem because I cannot start that app.

Of course, I'm unable to tap there since I can't pull down the notification bar

Found a solution!!

Okay, all I did was re-downloading the latest patch from Settings->About phone->System update->3 dots in the top right corner->download latest package, and then installed it. It solved my problem so far, without any data loss or reinstalling. Hope this helps y'all!
UPDATE: The issue came back a day later, so I finally decided to factory reset the phone... smh Xiaomi

If you're running a custom ROM you could try reflashing it without wiping anything.

B303: Display network speed missing after factory reset

Hi,
I have a weird issue. I updated from B145 to B303 today, and things were quite okay, but some apps behaved weirdly, so I did a factory reset. However, since then I am unable to see the option "Display Network Speed" in "Notification Panel and Status Bar". The weird thing is, if I use the search in settings I find the result, when I tap on it, I don't see any way to change that value.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thank you in advance

Yes mine behaves the same, appears in list when I search for it but missing from the notifications and status bar settings.
Maybe Huawei removed it by mistake or maybe it's something they will enable in future updates.
I've been trying to follow the Beta testing for the Chinese version of the phone and it seems they are on about the third update...there is talk of the fingerprint sensor functions that were missing being added soon (long press to return to home screen, single press to go back one screen/action)
They even have updates for something called VoLTE which I think is some kind of 4G network they use in China.
Just have to sit tight and wait for some updates although progress does seem slow

Do Not Disturb not showing on status bar

Hi, I have an unlocked Note 8 - Samsung SM-N950U1 on Android 7.1.1 not rooted. (ATT sim card, but not carrier firmware.)
Up until 3 days ago, when I downloaded a VR video player from the play store, my DND icon appeared on my status bar in the upper left corner. Now it does not appear when DND is on. I have uninstalled the VR video player and restarted the phone a bunch of times, but the icon will no longer appear when DND is on. Does anyone have any solution for this problem?
Thank you in advance
UPDATE:
I reset my preferences and it solved the problem.
You can delete this thread if needed. I couldn't figure out how to delete it myself.
This happened to me, too. How did you fix this?

Try this before?
Settings => Sounds and Vibration
I figured it out, too. I reset ALL app permission preferences. That fixes it. My DND icon also disappeared when I downloaded a VR app.

Updated to Oreo, notification pull down bar changed and it's annoying

I have Huawei P10, newly bought and came with Nougat but then the update for Oreo was available so I updated it...
Now I don't like how the pull down notification has changed. When I swipe from the top down it opens whole notification window at once. It doesn't open firstly 1 row and then on the 2nd swipe down the whole window.
This is what I'm talking about:

Is there a way to change it like it was before?
I am having the same issue. Plus with the auto-brightness deactivated, the screen changes the brightness as her wish, and sometimes the screens turns on without getting a notification. I asked for help in this forum, you can search the thread, but the only solution that they gave me, was that i make a wipe cache and a factory reset and the problem will be gone. I did it, i even downgraded again to nougat, and then update again. Nothing didn't work, so early this week i leave the phone on a tech support, and im waiting. Try the solution for yourself and if it doesn't work, do the same, go to the tech support. (sorry for my english)
I make an update for if anyone is interested. Got the phone again from the tech support, the problem still exist, just got the update 8.0.0.365. Huawei didn't fix the problem. If anyone knows any other way to fix it, please post it.
The same happened to me as well after the july update. Pulldown bar goes up in 2 slides, but down, it opens completely from just one slide. I did have a custom theme installed which modified the collors of the icons in the pulldown menu. I guess this was affected by the update. Problem is I can no longer find the theme to reinstall and uninstall. I am hoping for a solution besides a factory reset
backup and factory reset and restore. .... manner of 1 hour. Its highly recomended to do FR (factory reset) every major update nad update form nougat to oreo is one of these.
I have no screen issues or auto brightness or self turning on of display.
For the pulldown menu. When i have no notifications and swipe down i see all 2 rows of switches and brightness bar. When i have some notifications after swipe down i see only first row of switches and the notificitaion and i have to swipe again to see full notification list. Its how its mean to work on Oreo. Get used to it or go back to nougat

I apologize, I am an idiot. I will explain:
Ever since buying the phone, I installed a weather app (not sure if I'm allowed to write the name so I'll leave it out). Point is, that particular app always had a notification on, whenever I was swiping down, so naturally, the phone only showed 1 row of icons from the pull down menu. I uninstalled it a few weeks ago because it was not working right, due to the DCMA notifications, it started to hang, become inaccessible, stuff like that.
After taking it down, I've noticed that the pull down menu was showing in full. I thought this was either due to a theme I installed before the July update, that miss-fired , during the upgrade, or the new update screwed up my pull down bar.
So, naturally, I did what you wrote, first, a Factory Data Reset. No dice, pull bar still went down fully. I thought, ok, try the hard way, so I did a full Factory Reset (Phone Off, Phone On with Power button and Volume Button pressed). Still no dice, bar was full. I did the full reset again, this time deleting the cache as well. Again, the bar was full. So, I said (insert bad word) it, I'll use it like this, even tho I did not really liked it. Restored everything from back-up, and after I've configured everything, I decided to give the weather app another try. Pull Down Bar now only shows one row of icons, just like before.
Sorry for the wall of text.
Thank you again for the advice, and for your patience.

Navigation bar glitch (solved)

Hi,
I acquired a brand new Samsung Galaxy S20FE last week and updated it to Android 12 with OneUI 4.1, unfortunately I can't seem to remove this thing appearing on top of the navigation bar.
I tried to change the navigation bar to swipe gestures and it stays more or less in the same place. I also tried to disable the side menu and to change the launcher to Nova and pretty much explored all the settings without success, which let me believe that it is a glitch.
Could somebody tell me how I may be able to remove this please?
Thanks a lot!
maybe it's indicator for which homescreen you're on ??
if it is you can turn that off.

Unfortunately it is not, there is another indicator for the homescreen page that shows up on top of the dock icons. It tried to put only one page on the homescreen as I figured it would be an indicator and it was still there.
When I reboot the phone, this little thing does not appear right away, it comes up after a couple minutes using the phone, if it helps finding the source of the problem.
Factory reset?

it looks like it a cut off transparent toast message but those shouldn't hang around. when you switch to gesture navigation is it the same amount of it that you see ?
it kinda looks like the navigation bar is on top of it obscuring most of it.
that's Samsung Pay, you can disable it from the Samsung Pay's Quick access settings

Yes, at long last, the mystery has been solved! Thanks a lot, I had to update and configure Samsung Pay, it was a non-functioning feature of the application.
