I have a two year old RAZR Maxx HD unlocked and rooted on 4.4.2. It has been working fine, but I have an icon in my notification bar for the past two weeks that I can't figure out. I've done various searches on the net and have looked at all of my installed apps and just can't figure this one out. When I pull down the notification screen, nothing appears with the same icon in the notification area.
Nevermind....figured it out. exDialer was the culprit.

Yesterday morning I noticed something strange with the home screen on my desire. The problem doesn't occur on any other of my screens. I hope somebody might be able to help.
The problem - at the very bottom of the screen there is a black rectangle between the white phone icon on the left and the white web icon on the right. See Pic labelled 3. I appreciate its difficult to see but the other photos are better.
The problem appears to be linked to the notification bar. I'm using launcher pro and I'm hiding the notification bar. I have it so when I swipe the app icon the notification bar becomes visible. However, since this morning when I reveal the notification bar with a swipe of the app icon the black rectangle at the bottom moves up and becomes more obvious? See pics labelled 1 and 2. Its almost like an overflow of the notification bar from the top to the bottom of the screen.
The black rectangle only appears on one screen. I updated extended controls app yesterday. However, I didn't uninstall before updating and my phone went a bit funny. So I uninstalled it and installed it and everything was fine.
Last night I went to use a post it widget. But the widgets had vanished? Even though I have the app installed. So I uninstalled and installed. But again the widgets have disappeared again?
The the extended control app is unusable today . I have emailed the makers of extended controls but haven't heard anything from them yet.
I have turned the phone on and off a couple of times but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since I have had my s3, i notice sometimes in my status bar i get ghosted images of my icons. For example, I have tasker installed with the ongoing notification. Sometimes when the icons change, a ghost image appears of the tasker icon, even behind a new icon. Its not just tasker, its any of the icons in my status bar on the left side. They go away eventually. Wondering if others have the same issue.
Edit- just noticed it happens on the entire status bar, left to right.
Yea it happened to me on synergy.i was running that fancy theme with aroma installer... Synergy got too bloated for my taste. Cleanrom is great.
What rom do you have
VZW GALAXY S 3 4G LTE
Currently on Synergy. I thought Cleanrom was odex, I like being able to theme my phone, seems like most themes are designed for Synergy.
Ive had this happen to me on stock. It occurs randomly and the one time I really noticed it was after updating some apps in the market. Goes away just as randomly. I hope this doesnt become a more persistent bug.
Just upgraded to Razr Maxx HD running JB (4.1.1). I'm a Button Savior guy (soft keys) so I have no use for the space-wasting navigation bar that spans the bottom of the screen. I can't find a way to disable it. I've read LOTS of entries on the subject but haven't found the right solution. I tried modifying build.prop with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1. That worked, sort of (left the very bottom of the screen blank and unusable) but generated lots of those System UI (or whatever it is) error messages. I installed a couple of different apps that are supposed to make the Navigation Bar disappear (NavBar and FullScreenToggle, for instance) but all that does is make the same build.prop entry, which generates the same error messages. One app hid the Navigation Bar but kept the space it took up blank. What's the point of THAT? I read that CM10.1 and ParanoidAndroid have a control to hide the Navigation Bar, and I don't mind flashing a new ROM, but the custom JB ROMs seem to still have bugs in areas that would be a problem for me (BT, wi-fi tether, camera).
So -- I can't find a solution. I believed I've searched pretty thoroughly but hopefully I've overlooked something. My Maxx HD is rooted, of course (w/Safestrap), and running the stock ROM. I love the phone. Just want to be able to hide/disable the Navigation Bar and have full use of the space it takes up.
wrong forum bro
Why? Because it's a Maxx HD? Won't apps, tweaks and ROMs work the same way on all the Razrs?
Bump for you because I'm in the same boat. I have my other cm rom tweaked perfectly but it's not a daily driver because of camera and tether.
Ideally it would be a solution for rooted stock rom

My RAZR HD is on JB 4.1.2 and I managed to hide the Navbar with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1. I used to get SystemUI crashes on ICS, but since JB no crash whatsoever.
If qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 worked for me (without FCs) I'd be done. All I want to do is disable the Navigation Bar. I don't want to hide the System (Notification) Bar. I don't need to toggle the Nav Bar on and off. I just want to be able to use my full screen. I have to say, Goggle putting out JB for smartphones with a bar on top and another bar on the bottom seems stupid. They consolidate the bars on the larger screens, not on the smaller screens.
Is your HD on the stock ROM? How did you get 4.1.2? I'm still on 4.1.1 and my system says it's up to date.
hi, apologies if this has been posted before but it's really driving me nuts. 2 days ago everything was fine: i'm simply using c-locker as a lock screen. then yesterday i noticed there was another lock screen which can only be unlocked by swiping up. the status bar also changed. whereas before the bar went all the way up to the edge, now there's a black bar. the phone signal moved to the left side. to view notification icons (like an envelope for sms), the sound would come but the status bar would stay the same. by clicking on the status bar only then would the other icons appear and the status bar would go to the original (be all the way to the end of the screen). i'm still googling about but so far zilch.
solved!
my wife's phone is a nokia 1020 (we bought it as she loves the camera). it rang last night and she was in the gym. so i answered it and afterwards i noticed that the lockscreen and the status bar were very similar to the one i was having issues with in my edge. so i went over to my edge and uninstalled windows 10 launcher. i had previously installed it because my wife wanted to see if i could replicate her phone interface. so i installed but never used the launcher. when the edge did an ota update, windows 10 launcher was part of the other apps touched. whatever updates happened, the launcher forced it's lockscreen and status bar profiles on top of my existing setup. so, in case you plan to install the win10 launcher, maybe it's best to use it on it's own.
When I unlock the phone the AT&T logo appears in the notification bar, then after a second or 2 it disappears and then will show me the notification icons. Certainly never had this issue on any other phone.
Any way to disable the AT&T text in the notification bar?
I have figured this out with the help from this post...
