I just did the KitKat up so my notification bar went transparent and now I'm noticing some burn-in. My screen is always on auto and never left sitting around w/ the screen on. Is any one else see this? Opening th books app and letting it go full screen is a good way to test.

My notification bar is black as well.. and is only transparent on the lock screen. Are you sure it's transparent?
However, on topic, I do not see any sort of burn-in. I wasn't even sure that was possible on these types of screens? But I could be wrong.

can you check your android version and post a screenshot of your transparent bar?
i think maybe there is a second OTA going live.

Are you using nova launcher? With 4.4 it has a setting under look and feel to enable transparent bar
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you're on stock 4.4 you should NOT have a transparent notification bar...
If you're using Nova there is an option to set it to transparent

Guys, the transparent notification bar is not the default with 4.4. I have GEL but other 3rd party launchers like Nova also enable this.
OP, are you sure that you're actually seeing burn-in? The bar is transparent but fades to black.

Not that it's particularly relevant to the OPs question, but the KitKat update does, in fact, have the transparent status bar.
Unfortunately, what it doesn't have is the resized launcher to support it so it still looks black.

Why does my custom carrier always disapear when I open my phone after being locked on miui. I always have to toggle the carrier logo tab to see it but once my phone screen locks and I open my phone back up my logo is gone.

Do you have any notification or background apps using the top left of the status bar? My juice defender notification always hides the carrier text, but not seeing "MIUI" (the custom text i put) never really bothered me lol

Sweetness, that worked. So basically if we want the custome logo than we can't have anything running on the top left side of the status bar?

I haven't really looked into it but ya pretty much, must be a bug or something in extended settings. That's the main reason I never got around to DLing a logo, I like my notifications lol
Just upgraded to att official pics 4.0.4 and I have a new icon I've never seen before that won't go away. Its a box with a minus sign on the far left of the status bar.
I've searched and found out its telling me my notification is disabled? Is this true? I've only seen 1 post saying this.
And the directions to turn notification on don't work. They said to pull down the bar and toggle notification.... I don't have that option.
Help me make it go away please.

It seems to have gone away on its own. I'd still like to know what it was and why.

I am not a n00b about stuff but I still don't understand why sometimes when I open an app like this one or chrome the notification bar turns grey... any ideas? Not that its a problem just curious. Don't do it every time
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app
The entire notification bar...? Or just the 3g/wifi/signal bars?
If the color of the signal is changing (blue vs. gray) this indicates connectivity to the internet... or, more specifically, connectivity to Google's servers. If it's blue (used to be green), you're connected. If not, there is some issue (or it's in the middle of trying to connect).
he means the entire bar. I have this "problem" also on my device.
On stock firmware it is transparent. As chrome puts white under it, it will be grey.

Thank you so much it kinda bugged me the reason.... makes total sense thank you

Actually now the more I have used this phone I notice is does not do it every time.... and apps that didn't do it before are doing it now

I'm talking about the tiny up/down arrows within either the WiFi or mobile signal icons in the notification bar indicating that data is being actively transferred. I see nothing on Nexus 5 even during heavy data transfer. i do see the transfer arrows in quick settings, but that's not ideal.
It's in the pull down drawer now.

I'm using a KitKat port from the N5 and I've noticed the same thing. Send to be by design... Or lack of!

Yup, I've noticed this too and this sucks. I totally loved/relied on those indicators.
Anyone know if a 4.4 ROM has brought those back?
Hey Guys,
Just came from a defective nexus 6 and got myself a Samsung S6. This phone is very snappy with its response times to actions I make I'd just like to increase the utilization of the super AMOLED screen. I'm running Nova launcher and set my home screen backround to an all black photo but am getting this grey bar on the top of my screen. I believe it comes from the grey block that drops down with a trash can icon to delete home screen items using the stock touchwiz launcher. Anybody know how to get rid of it?
Also, with the lock screen. I've set my lock screen backround to be black aswel to reduce the amount of power used by the screen, for some reason when setting a black backround the lock screen's backround shows up as light grey?
My auto brightness setting is turned off BTW.

Try go to nova settings and set to transparent notifications bar
I've done that and I also have my notification bar set in Nova to not be showing.
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
The grey bar is still there though. It's hardly noticeable until you look closely but it is there
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that too long back, it's very minimal and can be ignored on the home screen but when opening recent panel with all apps closed it's very much visible on top and bottom with grey lines, using a display tester app shows proper blacks and no such grey stripes exist, idk what's on with it but it's crazy so I've stopped using black wallpapers.
Lockscreen does get all grey and that's a software thing, you can use HiLocker or something else to get rid of it.

My OCD has been on the fritz because of that bar.

For future users facing the grey bar issue. I factory wiped my phone due to a very fast battery drain I was experiencing and the grey bar is mysteriously gone ! My battery drain is also gone even though I restored all of the same apps I had on before.
