When I am on a phone call my ear hits the notification bar and because I am holding the phone the way that I am the screen orients for landscape. When I finish the call I have to chase the "Close" button from the left edge to the bottom (because I have now moved the phone back to portrait position), or tap the bottom of the phone to get the screen to re-orienate so I can close "Notifications" before I hit "End" to end the call. I like having the ability to tap and get notifications but I hate that when on a call I initiate it. Is there a way to make the notifications bar inactive when I am on a call? Now that I think about it...I use Co0kies Home Tabs so I actually get my notifications there. Maybe there is a way to turn of notifications all together? I realize there is probably already another thread for that and since I would prefer to have both I'll stick with my original thought.
Hi everyone! I have a Sprint HTC One A9. The quick settings (swiping down on the screen with two fingers or swiping down twice from the status bar) all of a sudden disappeared. I can still see the notifications panel when I swipe down, but just can't see or edit the quick settings. The button in the top right (which I believe originally let you edit the quick settings) does not do anything when I press it. I have no idea how/why this happened, and there does not seem to be another way to get to a quick settings editing option/menu. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
We have never been able to edit the quick settings on our A9. That top right button simply just toggles the quick setting on and off (does the same thing as swiping up and down).

Newcron, thanks for your response! Here's the thing: the top right button, when I press it, it does nothing -- there's no reaction or toggling of the quick settings. It doesn't look like some of the pictures I've seen (it looks like a gear over the three lines, whereas I think others just see three lines?). When I press it, and try to swipe down to see the quick settings, it doesn't work. I've tried everything -- my quick settings just up and disappeared! It's been driving me crazy because I have to go into the settings to turn wifi, bluetooth, location, etc. on/off each time. If anyone has any ideas what I might have done or what to do, please do let me know. Thanks very much!

And I just realized that I have lost all notifications too -- no notifications show up in the notifications panel/drawer (even when I'm receiving notifications). It just says "no notifications." Ack, I have no idea what I did. Should I just reset the phone?

Well that is a little weird. The icon is correct, though. If I swipe once, it shows all my notifications, with the icon picture is a gear over the three lines. If I tap on that icon, it's the exact same thing as if I swipe down, the quick setting now shows up, and the icon changed to just three lines. If I tap on the three lines icon, then quick setting goes back up (and out of view), showing me my notifications again.
I'm not sure what happened to your phone, but that's pretty strange!

My A9 is now doing the same thing. Did you ever find a fix?
[FRP] Android 5.1 FRP Vulnerability I Found
I just found this UI bug/vuln when freestyling trying ways to bypass FRP on an old HTC Desire 626 here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/general/frp-htc-desire-626-verizon-prepaid-t3942397
It would be great to see others give it a run for it's money on their 5.1 devices so we can know how widespread this is and what else it will work on. It's old yes but I haven't seen anyone come across it yet.
Whats Needed:
-Tiny bit of time
-Quick Fingers
NOTE-> If going through [Recent Apps] -> *Settings* -> *Screen Pinning* does not allow you to backup into settings.. Then select the other option *Running Apps* and backup into settings using it. Reason i say this is because I have found if i do not go in the order i describe below then backing up into settings from after screen pinning it won't backup into settings unless i select *Running Apps* and go back from there.
Enable accessibility by holding 2 fingers on the homescreen, when enabled, draw an L shape starting at the top of the screen. At the top right you will see a half circle that says [Talkback Settings]. Press this and then follow through to the Talkback Settings. Using two fingers touch the screen and move up with your fingers to scroll the screen now scroll down until you see *Talkback suspend and resume* and enable this. Make a backwards L swipe. Swipe out from the right far over to the left side almost to the edge then up to the top. Make sure you swipe the line over for the bottom of the L shape almost over to the other side of the screen before you draw up with it. You might have to do it a few times and play around with your starting point up and down the right side of the screen and over in the middle close to the edge of the screen where you go back up the screen. You will get it eventually. Now press both volume buttons to disable Talkback. You should now be in Recent Apps and at the top right will be 3 dots. Select these and press [Settings] and enable *Screen Pinning* then press back until you get into Settings then go down to [Backup and Reset] and click on this then [Reset Phone].. Now here is where it gets fun! We are going to quickly bypass Android 5.1's protection disabling the ability to press the *OK* button you see at the bottom. You are going to want to go back a screen to start. Next press on [Reset Phone] and now with your right thumb quickly hit OK and as soon as you do this you will see where the box pops up and know where the OK button on it is. So position your right thumb or w/e finger you can press with quickly over the area where the *OK* would be or remember the spot and go back a screen and repeat the process. Eventually because of doing this the system will slow down some and the box will stay longer so you've more time to click *OK*. You will see it works if you do it quick enough.
Bingo. Done. Phone will restart completely reset and you have now bypassed FRP.
Please post your results and let us all know if it worked on your device!

Anyone else spend anything unusual from older Android variants Chris Murphy
Looking for HELP with a feature. Im comming from the s10 plus. I always used the function TAP to Swipe feature which is used for tapping to answer phone calls instead of sliding to answer. Its an option in the assistant menu. If you go to settings> accessibility> interaction and dexterity> assistant menu on> single tap to swipe… it can be turned on. But the problem is you cant get rid of the menu completly. On the s10 plus we was able to do this and hide it. Only option to hide it is slightly as an edge option.
Anyone know how to get rid of it completly while still allowing tap to swipe for answering phone calls?
I read your question over and over and looked at your screenshots and I really cannot work out what you mean.

Instead of swiping to answer phone calls you can just tap the answer button. Its activated thru the assisted menu. But when you activate it… it leaves a circle menu on the screen that you can put anywhere on the screen. There is an option to move it to the edge panel. You can see it on the picturr here i have it in the top right corner. On my s10 plus you can completly hide it while still being able to tap amd answer phone calls instead of sliding it to answer. Its called SINGLE TAP TO SWIPE.
OK, I am with you now.
I just checked on my Note 10+ and it's the same.
You can however hide the panel by dragging it to the top of the screen to the X that appears, this places the menu in the notification area, so although it cannot be hidden completely at least it no longer blocks your screen.
Once in the notification area, if you tap and hold the notification and then the gear icon, you can minimise it further there.
Hope this helps somewhat!

Its the same on the s10 plus which is what i am comming from. Youll get a accessability notification in the pull down bar but that can also be illiminated. On the note 20 ultra however when you hold down on the panel… there is no hide option. The only option im seeing is to put it on the edge panel… which is better but you can still see it.
I have the Note 10+ and use the Assistant Menu button to use single tap to answer calls. I could hide the button by holding and dragging it to the top of the home screen and releasing it when I see the X. Worked great. I recently updated my phone and it now has One UI 2.5. I cannot now hide the Assistant Menu button when I drag it to the top. Looks like the hide function has been removed. I don't like this at all. I don't like having to move the button around the screen to avoid interference with text, graphics, games, etc. Samsung needs to correct this ASAP!
You can either purchase "package disabler pro" and disable the accessibility app. Or you can go to settings>apps>all apps> scroll to accessibility then force stop the app and clear cache. It will stay hidden until you restart the phone. Make sure you have the single tap setting enabled first before you do this

Bro i cant thank you enough. I have package dissabler already and it worked. U are the man. Appreciate it very much.
Now i just need to get the ok google ding sound when you wake google by voice.
Anyone know how to change the notification pull down area after the new update. Im right handed and always try to pull down notifications from the right hand side of the screen. After the update if I pull down from the right hand side of the screen I only get full access button layout without showing ANY notifications. Hope there is a way to change this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Figured it out. You can use the app Good lock and quick star to change these quick pull down settings
