This is for the T-Mobile sensation 4G.
I've seen a number of videos where the browser is full-screen - even taking over entire the notification tray. Yet on mine, T-Mobile version, the notification tray is always present when browsing. Has anyone else noticed this, or figured out a way to make the notification tray hide during browsing? I'm wondering if this is a T-Mobile thing.
Thanks!
The default browser always shows the notification tray on mine. I also checked with Opera Mini browser and it does the same thing (portrait or landscape mode).
Weird, My notification bar is not shown with the default browser.....
You could try Dolphin Browser HD. It offers full screen browsing, and the gestures control makes it very easy to navigate.
I think its miles ahead of the stock browser.

You can turn this off for Opera within settings - set 'Status bar' to 'Off'.
For the default browser, the status bar will always show, but fixed at the top of the page. I.e. if the page is big enough for you to scroll down, then the status bar should disappear from view.

I've recently started using the stock launcher again, due to a problem of my default home not sticking for some reason. The only thing I really miss is gesture support (zeam, adw), which allowed me to quickly access notifications and previews (to jump to different screens quickly without scrolling). I've mediated my desire to access my notifications quickly, by hitting menu while on a homescreen and tapping notifications (I find this faster and more convenient than pulling it down from the status bar), but I haven't found a way to quickly access previews (other than hitting home when on the default screen). I don't have much use for previews from the default screen since I'm not far away from any other screen. I'm looking for a quick way to access previews so that I can pull them up and jump from screen 1 to screen 7, for example. Long time Sense users, is there a way to do this?
Pinch from any screen.
Yeah you just pinch zoom outwards on any screen to see previews.
i have asked this on the G1 forum but thought i would ask here.
is it possible to write an application that would hide the notification bar completely and in any application. i know some applications have full screen mode, however some lack this and it would be useful if you would like to view the application in full screen.
The only I know is to get a launcher such as ADW.Launcher, LauncherPro, etc. (almost any launcher has this option). However I am not sure if it will stay fullscreen for all applications, haven't tried.

Unfortunately it doesn't stay full screen. The moment you press menu or open an app that doesn't have a full screen mode the bar reappears.
I have an Aria which has a smaller screen like the g1 so I'm always trying to maximize screen real estate. An app or mod to hide the notification bar even in apps would be really nice. Xscope browser has a completely full screen mode (no notification bar, no address bar, no borders) , which is nice for internet viewing.

yeah its true it doesnt stay hidden in certain apps. i have managed to crash the notification bar trying to open the dropdown which made it dissapear but i have to reset my phone to get it back. an ability to stop it and start it again would be beneficial for me as i dont always want it there when in certain apps.
Lately my phone has been randomly be getting a glitch where the screen looks like its trying to scroll to another page (as if im scrolling through my home screen). Most noteabley is that the notification bar extends on and has orange text, also I should say it only glitches/slide to the right. I can recreate this event if I open snapchat and scroll over the friends tab. I believe it might have somthing to do with the notification bar though I have yet to find anyone with a fix. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
I'm wondering if updating the Droid Maxx and Ultra have given you some of the same features found on Moto Xs running KitKat, such as Moto Skip NFC unlock support, access to updated Motorola apps from the play store, etc.

Small UI changes. Updated to Droid Zap. Wallpaper no longer shifts when you scroll. Most noticeable or odd the gate. Many more small changes behind the scenes that are not very prominent.

The NFC unlock with skip was already part of the November update, IIRC.
The differences that I have noticed:
- when you press the home key while using the stock launcher, it always brings you back to the default home screen, even if the last used home screen was another one. It's almost like you pressed home twice. It's a little annoying.
- if you have two apps that can do something, with nothing set as the default (say, two browsers on the system), the first time a browser link is pressed a list of items is shown, allowing yo to choose one and choose a button that says "Just once" or "Always". That's not new, but what is new is that if you select something and say "Just once", that item will be highlighted the next time you have the same choice.
- there is a full-screen mode for apps that support it. The first time you see it it tells you that you can return to normal with a swipe down from the top.
- if you turn on "tap to focus" in the camera app, there is a new focus/white balance control that you can drag to a focus point and then tap anywhere to take the photo and use that as the focus point (and, as I said, to control exposure/white balance.)
- apparently it supports BT LE devices like the Fitbit, and supports tap to pay for Google Wallet (though I use neither of these so cannot confirm for sure.)
- the status bar remains black and the battery status and time are still blue, with the network icons remaining blue for Google connection and gray for no Google authentication, and they also still show network activity (this is unlike the Moto X.) There is a new location status icon that looks like a white Google Maps place point icon. For some reason the network icons look different to me, but they may be the same.
- there is now an unlabeled icon to clear all notifications in the notification shade, and the settings page icon looks a little different. Also, the settings gear icon looks a little different.
- there is a setting to allow you to set the default messaging app.(settings->more [under "wireless & networks"]->default SMS app)
- there is now a settings->printing setting (I don't think that was there in Jellybean) and I have printed from GMail, Hangouts and Chrome.
There really isn't a whole lot that's different or that looks all that different. (I probably missed some things...)
I only ran JB for a day so I don't really know if this is new, but I've noticed many apps now have the annoying 3-dots menu show up all by itself, occupying as much space as if we had a soft-key nav bar.
Very annoying, wish there was a way to get rid of that.

Thanks! I never even thought to look there. I'm sooo much happier with it now.
I have an issue where when texting someone and they reply the keyboard disappears. I backup all my stuff and did a factory reset from the recovery menu and it was fine until 2 days ago. I loved JB before this update. The only thing that was better in this update was performance and that's it. There are still a ton of little issues with KitKat vs. JB

When a website changes the stock address bar to anything other than white, I am unable to swipe to scroll to the next tab.
For instance, androidpolice.com changes the address bar to blue and I am unable to swipe to another tab, left or right.
Anyone else experiencing the same or willing to try to replicate?
I'm seeing the same issues. I did reach out to Essential support but haven't heard from them yet.

I had this problem but once I used the whitelist editor app it went away. I had to also disable my navbar in chrome but I was able to pull down to switch tabs on every website after that. If you need the navbar back just swipe up from the bottom.
I've noticed something similar with my Facebook app. When you try to pull up on the bar at the bottom of the app it immediately snaps back and will not allow you to access anything within it.
I found that Chrome Beta has no issues with scrolling, as colored address bars does not extend into the status bar as they do in Chrome.
What's weird is that I tried this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...ured-how-to-make-camera-flush-status-t3682107 and it fixed the chrome issue
