Notification bar - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Just went to Pixel 2 last week. My biggest complaint, even more than the Verizon lockdown, is the notification bar. It comes down a lot. I can be typing like I am right now and the notification bar comes down. I then have to click something else or swipe it back up only for it to happen again a few minutes later. It seems very touchy where's OP didn't have that issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

Figured it out
So dumb! I had notifications to show by fingerprint. So I kept hitting the sensor on the back. Shut it off and all is good.

Symbol in top left corner

This could be a dumb post, but a couple days ago this circular symbol appeared in the top left-hand corner, in the notifications bar. It looks like an indicator that GPS is running, but why did it appear and not go away for 2 days now? Also, disabling GPS and Google location doesn't make it go away. WTH? Lol
I am on the newest update, 77.8.14.

That's not GPS...
GPS looks like a target. The icon you are questioning about looks like a wrench...
You don't see anything when you pull down the notification bar...? Did you install any new apps recently? That is odd for sure.

Ah ok, there is no indication of it when i pull down the notification bar, and when i clear all notifications, the symbol does not go away.
I was in an area the other day that had lousy service, and i've noticed this device does not seem to handle that situation well, in terms of reconnecting when there is service, etc. Not sure if it is related to that or not.
Definitely odd, this is my first time seeing that symbol. I'm trying to think of any new apps i might have installed... i did update about 16 apps the other day, it must be one of those...

I actually figured out what it was! You got me thinking about apps, and 1 of the 16 i updated the other day was Notification Toggle. For some reason this time it put that symbol up there by default after the update. I always had it turned off so i had never seen it before
Its the sprInt zone update notification
It's definitely the Notification Toggle app.. when i freeze that app the symbol goes away. And i don't even have Sprint Zone installed
Yup, That is notification toggle. One of the more recent updates changed the notification bar behavior options, and reset the icon. Under settings for the app you can change the icon style, there is a transparent option if you don't want it to show at all, otherwise there's various battery icon styles that will tell you exact battery %.

Notification shade is drawn after every phone call

I'm noticing now that after every call when not using speaker phone my notification shade is drawn all the way down. I have to swipe up twice to remove the shade to simply hang up the phone?? I'm using Nova, don't think that matters, smart stay is on, it was off so i tried it on no difference. I assume it has something to do with the proximity sensors but can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

notification quick toggles disappeared

Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem with the notification bar not displaying the quick toggles. They're still there. You put your finger on the spot and whatever toggle is there will activate or deactivate, you just can't see it. Needless to say, it's very annoying and I don't know the cause of it. I'm rooted, updated to may patch. I tried back tracking to see if I hit any switches but nothing. I did everything shy of factory resetting. Check the screenshot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Found out what the problem was. It was with the app shortcutter. Toggling the "reflow pull down animation" button caused it to disappear.

Bug swiping statusbar to show notifications

There's a bug when you want to check your notification from status bar during a call. You have to swipe the status bar fully down or it will just go back up.
OOS9.5.5
Can anyone confirm if they have the same issues?
Was like that in my 6t as well.
I think it's a failsafe so you don't accidentally hit something while your on a call.
Once you get use to it it's really no problem.
I have the same issue whenever on a call. I have to make a very slow, deliberate movement to eventually get the quick settings drawer open. Only happens to me in calls.

Thanks for the reply, i thought that was just me. Good to know there are others. It's good as a failsafe but personally i would like it off.
Only on calls.

Note 10 Not Showing missed call Notification

Hey everyone. First I want to say I hope everyone is hanging in there during this very tough time. I'm having a problem with my Note 10. It's on Tmobile and I bought it from Tmobile. It's 100% stock and I've done usual updates from Tmobile OTA. I have recently seen that my missed calls do not show in my notification panel. If I pull the notification panel down into extended view, missed call icon is not showing there either. If I go to the Phone app and tap on recents I CAN there see missed calls. This is causing a major issue for me. Can anyone help? I also have gone to settings -> notifications -> phone and show notifications is grayed out.. but it's grayed out in the ON position. Also missed calls, voicemails are also grayed out in the same phone panel.. but in the on position. I'm really confused what is going on. I just want the missed phone icon to show in my notification panel because I often have my sound off. Any help would be great thanks!
