Notification bar not visible - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running the RasbeanJelly builds with Matr1x for a while now. Recently my notification bar stopped displaying. It shows up when I wake the phone, at the lock screen. Once I get past the lock screen, the notification bar is not visible. I am not sure why this happened. I don't remember installing any apps around the time that this started happening. I use Nova Launcher as well.

Sounds like you have it hidden with nova. Under look and feel, it's the last setting. You could possibly also have a swipe gesture to hide it.

I thought the same thing. I have checked and unchecked it a few times, but it hasn't fixed it.

Strange. What you describe would be normal if it's hidden. Did you check under gestures and buttons to be sure that nothing is set to toggle notifications?

You probably enabled the expanded home screen feature by mistake. Check the power menu there should be a toggle in there to turn it off, or it could possibly be in display options.

Ah, yeah, forgot about expanded desktop.

Nothing I gestures. I tried going to the standard launcher, and no change. I have gone through the setting pages many times trying to find a setting to toggle, but can't fond anything.

If you're on rasbeanjelly, look in the power menu for a "expanded desktop" option. Turn it off. You probably bumped it by mistake...

I don't have a power menu. There is a battery menu, but there are no options
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Power menu is the same as the reboot menu. Just hold the power button down. Option for expanded desktop should be in there.

Do I feel stupid?! Thanks that was it.

4g toggle widget?

Tried the evo 4g toggle widget... said I didn't have 4g. Anyone know one that will work with the nexus s 4g?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Right now the best solution is to install bar control from the market. Select the first 4G option. Now you can just pull down your notification bar, press that and be taken directly to the 4G settings instead of manually going there the normal way. As of now though no actual toggle exists.

You can also get a new Power control bar that adds it and more.

It doesn't really matter whether there was supposed to be one or not, since it transpired that one was not included in the update.

Better battery stats

Hey everyone, just had a quick question. A lot of times when I turn my screen on bbs says it's running at the bottom of my lock screen. Doesn't happen every time though.

What exactly is the question?
I underdig. If you're using supersu go to settings and uncheck 'show notifications.' I think you can set individual program toast notifications but whatev.. You figure it out. Lol
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
Yeah I was talking about the notifications. Thanks bro

[Q] Disable Touch Key Lights?

I'm on MIUI and there is no way to disable them while still retaining functionality. I do not want to use the on screen NavBar, i still want to use the touch keys and home button, just not have them light up. I'd also rather not use ScreenDIM, etc. I'd prefer to do a system change or something to disable the lights. Any ideas?
Isn't there a galaxy settings in the settings menu?

[Q] Samsung style drop down settings buttons

Something I really miss having changed from a SGS3mini with Android 4.1.2 to my new N5 with Kitkat is the buttons for wifi, sync etc. in the drop down home screen menu.
Is there an app I could install please to get this facility on my N5?

Works great. Choose the "notification widget" after you download it to get it like the samsung one.

Kind of impossible holding it with one hand.
Pull down with one finger and hit the top right icon that has a little person in it.. = same as 2 finger pull down
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The app has things not available in the 2 finger pulldown such as screen rotate toggle.

Not being able to customise the quick settings tiles is its biggest problem. Although once I installed gravitybox, all that went away

Notification sound after call.

Everytime I end a call my phone makes a notification sound. Any idea what this is for and how do disable it?
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Go into call settings and there is a prompt that allows you to turn it off on
Sent from Tapatalk
I turned off the end call notification and still get it.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
So I've figured out when the noise happens, but can't figure out how to turn it off. It happens everytime I connect too lte.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Is it a sound or vibrate? I see an option for vibrating
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
It's a sound and its quite annoying.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
117 views and no one else has experienced this. I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with lte, but can't figure out how to disable. I can't be the only one.

Not sure, I've had two S5's now and neither did this.
It's possible some random setting that carried over for most of us etc.
I know the first S5 when it restored my old phone settings the screen timeout was set for 45 seconds for example, well that's not a valid option so it made the menu look funky lol. The second one it didn't do that as I had changed to 30 seconds before exchanging again.
I imagine something similar, some setting carried over to disable the sound and we just dunno which/where.
I did a lot of traveling yesterday and bounced on and off 3G and 4G and no data many times, no sounds.
Maybe it's the roaming guards too glitching? I do disable those too.
Thought I disabled the roaming guard but will check again. It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't so damn loud.
Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
I feel like an idiot. It was signal check pro. It never did it on my g2 or my tablet, but for some reason it was on by default on my s5.
