My notification bar intermittently stops responding i.e. the pop up window with WIFI, GPS, etc options doesn't come up when I click on lower right corner. The home, recent apps, and back buttons work perfectly fine. I already created a thread about audio issues I am having with JB update. Now this... I tried cold boot and system factory reset.
Its all stock. No root or unlock.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Hello.
+1 : my Infinity (root, but not unlock) have exactly same bug since JB upgrade, i.e. no notification bar after boot (nothing happens when I click on lower right corner) unless a notification appears, so I must unmount and re-mount microSD for example to have a notification, and then the notification bar is back...
I thought it was a JB bug, but it seems that only some users encounter it... So, as Arundroid said, any help would be appreciated ! Thanks in advance...

Simply click the clock on the bottom right has no effect.
However if I use launcher defined gesture to invoke the notification bar, it will appear.
Is there a way to get Immersive Mode on Jelly Bean?
With semi transparent status bar which appers when one swipes down on the top? like in kitkat
Hi, unfortunately, currently there isn't anything exactly like Kitkat's Immersive mode, and transparent status bars, while possible, the process of enabling them on your device is very technical and potentially dangerous for your device.
HOWEVER. I can tell you that there is a way to get something similar to Immersive Mode. I'll guide you through it.
First off, you need root. I can't explain this because the rooting process is different for each device, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
Now, you'll need to download Xposed Installer. Just search for that on Google and you should find it no problem. Download and install the apk. Open the app, and allow superuser access. Now, tap Framework, and tap on Install/Update. This will install the Xposed Framework, which is needed for this process. Reboot your device by tapping Soft Reboot, Reboot, or just turn your device off and then turn it back on.
Next, open Xposed and tap on Download. This will list all kinds of things called Modules, which do fancy things to your device. Look through and find Gravitybox [JB] and tap on it. Download it by scrolling down, and when asked to install, do so. Now, back out to the welcome screen, and tap on modules. Gravity box should be listed, but if it isn't just wait for a minute or two, and it should appear. Tap on the check box to the left of the icon, and reboot your device like you did before.
Provided everything has gone OK, you're in the home stretch. Open Gravitybox from the app drawer, and if asked for superuser permission, say yes. You'll see a list of a lot of things, but you want to tap on Display Tweaks. At the top of the list is a setting for Expanded Desktop Mode. Tap on it and select hide both, and you're done!
Now, whenever you want to hide the status bar and navigation bar (That's the top bar and bottom bar), just hold the power button to open your power options, and select the option to enable Expanded Desktop Mode! When you want to switch back, just repeat those steps!
Let me know if you need any more help!
All the best,
- Zero

Guys my pop up notification for 5.0.1 has arrived. But I don't want to update. How can I get rid of the notification from constantly showing in my drop down bar? I've selected "later" but it keeps coming up every so often. I'm running a rooted N5 along with the brilliant XGels and Gravity Box. I really don't want to lose these great apps.

Download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
Open in advanced mode, go into it's settings and enable for system apps.
Then in the UI (if its annoying, try in landscape), tap on Google Play Services and disable everything with "SystemUpdateService" in it.
Blocking the notifications from SystemUI/framework in Settings could block other system notifications, and it'll still download the OTA (download wakelock) until you take it.

Odd. I would think that you would get the 5.0 update notification first. If you're on 4.4.4 and not using ART, GB is definitely a way to go.
Like Lethargy said, use Autostarts to disable all the receivers with "system update service" in their name. That's the only way to completely block your phone from downloading the update without any wakelocks. Or the easy route would be to disable notifications from play services, but then the update will still be there, it just won't show up in your notifications tray.
I'm not sure about this.
Just hold the notification and then drag to App- Info and Force stop that .
If that works reply me.
Even I'm eager to know if it works.

There is no need to. When update notification appear go to GravityBox settings and block that notification (from play services). Thats all. You don't need any third party app for doing this.

Or you could long press the notification, use the app info menu and block the notifications for the play services, without using gravity box.

You could, but with time notification about update will appear again. That's because untick notification in stock settings will not block all notifications activity and you can't disable everything with "SystemUpdateService" as Lethargy descripted well.
On the other side, GravityBox will do this entirely.
Regards, Zagor
P.S. I do both off solution on my phone with 4.4.4 - Xposed, so thats why I'm so sure about it.

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Guy anyone knows how to turn off the built-in download manager notifications? Or have a 3rd party download manager override the built-in one? there is a section in the download manager notifications called "done" and "queued" and they can't be modified in anyway. I just want it to stop playing sounds every time I download something. Thanks in advance.
Is it handled by one of those 2 apps or the browser? I don't have anything to download ATM to test it out. I use Chrome, so things normal pop up under silent notifications if I remember correctly.
If you can't modify download manager to be silent, what you can do is set the custom notification sound to be "none" instead of default.

If you open the google app called "files" you can see the download manager I'm talking about. I believe it is not a part of the browser but I know it handle the downloads from Google store and other apps besides the browser. I could not modify it notifications in anyway. When you can try test it out and let me know if you are able to change anything.

When you download something, have you tried home clicking the notification to see where it's coming from?
Under Files, there's no notification channels for me, and u can't remember ever seeing a notification coming from the app before. I do see multiple channels that deal with downloads under Chrome's notifications though.
Nevermind
Long press on any notification that you want the notification to change somehow. Press the gear icon and customize the notification, including the ability to turn it off completely.

If you go to Google files "blue folder icon" then Apps> System Apps> and fine download manager> notifications you should see "Done" and "Queued" but activated but greyed out and you can't change them. And yes clicking the notification will take you to the same download manager I just mentioned but what I explain doesn't require you to download something to get to that section.
All download manager notifications can not be turned off including the three options below it.

What app are you downloading the files in? When I try an example download in Chrome, and I long press on the download notification I get this:
Spoiler
You should be able to click "Turn off notifications" here if that's what you want. If I click the Gear, I get lots of options for disabling, or you can click on the name of each notification (screenshot below) to customize beyond just turning them off and on (and apparently there are more than one pageful of possible notification types to customzie):

If you tell me the name of the app that you're doing the downloading in, I can try to replicate it and see if I think of anything else beyond the idea of changing what app you're downloading through.

What browser do you use? My downloads aren't coming from download manager at all, but specifically Chrome. I just set custom sounds up for download manager so I know when it's coming from that.
Your option still exists to set a custom sound to none though.

So then yeah, it seems like the other channels of Download Manager are already silent, just change the sound to none for notification tones to silence the one that can't be changed.

I just checked out the app you mentioned since I wasn't sure what apps I have that would use the generic download manager. At least you can keep them from showing up on the lockscreen (if you have the lockscreen display notifications at all).
