Hi,
for a last month or so I'm having issues with Chrome. There is a persistent thin horizontal line just below the status bar, which doesn't go away. When I scroll down address bar hides normally, but this line doesn't ever go away. Color of the line is the same as the address bar.
I also can't go fullscreen, because both status bar and that line are still showing.
I tried cleaning data, disabling and enabling app and force closing it, but it doesn't help.
Getting back to factory version of the app fixes the problem, but every time an update is pulled same problems appear.
Changing display size to medium (I'm using small) also fixes it, but i don't want to use it that way.
I'm running stock Oreo, and I didn't do a factory reset after the update, but i think it started a couple of weeks or so after the upgrade, so I don't know if it has something to do with Oreo or not.
I tried googling this issue, but can't find anything similar.
Here are some screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about. The line can be seen best in a screenshot where i opened an all black image and scrolled until address bar hides.
Mine does exactly the same. Must be a chrome issue.
Seems to be intentional as it's still there in latest.
I think is not an issue. Is the address bar when is hidden at scrolling down a web.
Is a design decision from Google

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

I am a new Z3 owner (D6603, rooted, locked BL on 23.0.1.A.5.77) coming from a long list of Samsung devices. I've noticed two small things that bug me and wanted to ask if these are normal.
The first thing is, for lack of a better word, keeping apps in the background. For instance, if I am in the twitter app, click on a link to a story which opens in Chrome, then share the story via email by way of chrome's share function, it then opens my email app. When I'm done sending the email and hit the back button, instead of taking me back to Chrome, it returns me to the home screen. This is different than every other Samsung device I have. Those will return me to chrome, then hitting the back button again returns me to twitter app. Basically it reverses the complete path. I'll admit this might seem silly but given my normal workflow of going from app to app, returning on the same path is important. Is there some setting on the Z3 that I need to set to enable this behavior?
The second has to do with notifications. If I have multiple notifications, as expected, the icons for each notification appear in the notification bar when the notification window is collapsed, but as soon as I click on any one of the notifications, the icons disappear from the collapsed notification bar. If I expand the notification bar, all the notifications are still there, but the icons don't show when the notification bar is collapsed. Is this normal for the Z3?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi there
Regarding your first problem: I actually just tried this with Facebook (clicking a link), open Chrome and sharing it via Gmail
and it behaves just as you said you wanted it to, it brought me back to Chrome and then back to FB.
That notifications disappear from the status bar (collapsed notification bar?) is really unusual.
Never happened to me before, neither did I hear/read about such problems.
I'd suggest to either check if some apps are causing this (like apps which handle notifications)
or reflash the firmware through recovery (but a different, maybe your own created zip) as I think
the first problem is a system failure.
Maybe someone else can help you better, just wanted to let you know that this isn't usual for the Z3
Settings, Personalisation, Clear viewed notifications
Edit: The default setting is unticked btw, so I guess you must have changed it.

Thank you! That took care of the notification problem.
So I just noticed the back glass panel on my phone wasn't fully glued at the factory. Kind of a major defect for a waterproof phone. Shame, I really like the phone but sending it back for replacement. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the recents problem. Thanks everyone.
So i have been modding my phone for a month now and have found several bugs that make thinks kind of difficult. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7275R) and installed the Cyanogen 12.1 mod and latest kernel from Kotzir. The problem is when i get a notification in the drop down menu, it overlaps with the menu and the other notifications. I understand that the transparent theme may cause this "trick" of hiding the notification behind a menu may cause it to appear behind it, but it should scroll with the menu anyways. And besides that, in the notification area the notifications overlap as well. The standard music app even has 2 notifications overlap itself. So i think there is something wrong with the grid of the notifications? Some counter that's stuck or something? Other than that, the phone is really stable and battery life has extended by 150% so i am happy, but i don't like to have to manually open every app to see what is going on, even more so if you can only open it by the notification like USB settings and such.
(i would like to post pictures but since i am new here i have to make 10 post before i can. i will as soon as i can, sorry for that)
Thanks in advance
Nevermind
This from can be closed, i moved over to android 6.0 CM13. It doesn't have the problem.
However a bit more information for other people who want to stay at the CM12.1:
1: The problem seemed to happen whenever more then one app had a notification. Just one app after a fresh reboot didn't cause anything.
2: If you pressed where the icons should be, you would still select it. This means it was just rendered wrong. This would mean the grid is fine, but there is a bugg in drawing the notifications properly.
3: Sometimes the menu would freeze and the animation would hang but the menu would still be pushed upwards when swiped up. The menu would freeze causing you to only see a stripe with a half gear and the other icons but just at the top.
4: The clock becomes visible after turning the screen 90 degrees either way.
5: Restarting the GUI via the settings menu should solve the problem. The icons still work just image swiping down with your eyes closed. swipe all the way down and press the gear icon to open settings.
Thanks to the admin who placed it to the correct category anyways.
have a nice day everyone ^^

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
