I just updated my UK unbranded galaxy s to froyo (JPO) using kies (no hacks, just worked).
I'm now running into an issue with the notifications bar. It was working, then I went to the market and updated some apps, and now it keeps stuffing up. It starts off working fine then something happens, and after that I try to drag it down and it goes down a few pixels then stops. I have to hit the back button to close it in order to continue using the phone.
I thought it was launcher pro having problems with it, so uninstalled and went back to touchwiz. After doing that, it worked for a little while, but now its started it again.
Has anyone got any advice? I'd rather not have to hard reset if possible...
ps, I tried searching but couldn't find anything
I have the same on my international I9000 (JPO) every now and then, also usually after installing apps. Restarting the phone fixes it, but when it happens it's pretty annoying.
Here's assuming that you, like me, didn't wipe your SGS after upgrading to 2.2? I can't be bothered to reinstall everything right now, but I would speculate that after a wipe the issue is gone.

yeah I didn't wipe it, was really hoping to keep everything in tact, but this is annoying me so I'll probably end up wiping it unless someone has a solution for us
this has also been happening to me, anybody got a fix for it? i wiped the phone initially and then backed up the apps with titanium backup which might also be a reason. hoping theres an easier fix around this though!
So even wiping it resulted in the same issue? bugger
I'm also getting this. I did a factory reset before upgrading, so I don't think that's it.
I've found with auto rotation on and touch pro, you can grab the bar, rotate the phone and it will show you just enough of the notification bar to select what you want.
Is there any way to force close the notification bar and reload it with out restarting the phone?

I've gotten this problem a couple of times too. What's interesting to note is that the bar comes down fully and without problem if you activate it via <menubutton>->Notifications.
But of course, that's not available when you're within another program; only works from the desktop. So it doesn't really make this problem less annoying.

ha, yeah thats the same for me too, at least I can see the notifications if I really want to!!
I'm having the same problem with my i9000 with JPM. I upgraded with kies, installed voodoo lagfix and my notification bar freezes every so often. Also screen wont rotate anymore which is a real pain.
I am having the same problem with my galaxy s after upgrading to froyo. I upgraded using the reg edit hack as the phone was branded to 3 in the uk but got tired of waiting for them to release froyo.
Thought it might have something to do with that but i did a factory reset after the upgrade and it hasnt solved the problem.
very strange! any suggestions would be gladly received...

That's interesting because someone told me that installing Voodoo fixed the issue for him. He probably just hasn't run it for long enough then...
I had this, factory reset solved it. Just remember to back up anything important.
Do you have advanced task killer installed? Deinstall it (deactivate also would be enough)and install the version for froyo from the app store that made the trick for mine

Same problem. Usually experience after updating an app from market or when the market app update available notification comes app. I click on it. Usually it is Angry Birds. I don't update that. And then I start experiencing this problem.
Did a factory reset after flashing JP6. No lagfix. No advancedtask killer.
Have to reboot each time this happens.
please test this:if the notification bar is not working start the task manager kill one app after another and test the nb then make a ram clean and test it again
we could find out if an app is a reason(but i can't imagine it could be an app beside of an task killer) so we will have to further search for a reason (perhaps i will find something in the cernel differences (i am a developer but not for android and not kernel stuff at all)but i doubt that one too )) atm i am kind of idealess sorry

I had this exact same problem for a few days. It would irritate the **** out of me. I read somewhere that restarting the phone might work. And it did for me. So it might be worth doing. Just restart your phone, no factory reset or anything, a simple reboot.
I'm not saying this will work, just that it fixed it for me.

I was in the middle of a skype call just now. Skype decided to freeze. Gave me an option of force close or report it. I did a force close.
And then notification bar decided to not work. There was no app running in the task bar so I cleaned the ram. Still didn't work. Had to reboot.

It happens for me with the market as well.
smth has to cause it can u confirm that it does happen in large percentace of cases after force closes or does it even happen randomly? does somebody know a good log programm which we could run on ur galaxys so we can really see what happened right befor the nb doesn't work anymore(i think we need program activity and deamons running......)
sorry for my bad english it's getting too late and it isn't my native language...

it is the notifications that cause it. Skype was also running in the notification bar and market update also comes up in the notification bar. When any of those crashes and are force closed. Notification bar gets screwed.
Anyone else having this issue ever since updating maps ? Google now says location services is off even though it's on...Anyone found a fix for it? Yes besides the obvious reboot, clear data, cache, uninstall and reinstall etc etc?
This does not surprise me. It might explain why I have so many networklocationloctor wake locks.
Having the same problem after update to 1.29.1540.16. Supposedly it is affecting several HTC devices, both HTC & Google are aware and the only work around is factory reset. I personally am going to wait before I try that
Factory reset only works for a couple of days. Then the problem reappears. So don't do that. Just have to wait for a fix of some kind...

My Facebook app won't stay open now. I've tried clearing the cache, force stop and even uninstalling it. This just started last week.
Anyone else experiencing this? Can I fix it?

Uninstall the latest update and see if that helps. FWIW, the Facebook app is a huge resources and battery drain. If you can, consider just using the mobile site. It will have a noticeable, positive difference on your device.
I'm running 5.1 stock. I've had the turbo for a while with no problems, but recently random apps keep crashing for no apparent reason. I haven't made any major changes to the phone or installed any new apps but it keeps doing this. Textra will crash to the contact list screen after 3-4 seconds of looking at a contact thread. Yik Yak will close to the home screen with no error message after a few seconds. Facebook will open to the logo and a blue screen as if it's trying to load something but then it just crashes to the homescreen. The camera won't open and will give a message "Unfortunately, Photos has stopped.". Not every app does this either - Reddit Sync works fine, Fenix is ok, Stock Messenger is ok, snapchat will act up on occasion, and everything else is OK. This happened once before and I did a factory reset and everything was working fine for 2 weeks until it just started happening again. I cleared my cache partition with no luck. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this or know a potential fix? I've searched everywhere and I can't find anyone experiencing the same problems and if they are the problems are so vague I'm not finding them. I'm running 5.1 stock.

I got the same problem yesterday, I kept getting the "sorry blank has stopped" box over and over. Now the phone seemed to be dead. A couple times during the day it just went black and wouldn't start without a hard reboot. This morning it is completely dead, I missed my alarm because the phone seems to be bricked. Never had any issues with it, I've had it for like 6-8 months. Guess it's dead?
Anybody else having this issue? I cant figure out what is causing it all the sudden. I did not do anything different to the phone. Touchwiz just started crashing a lot out of the clear blue. I even did a factory data reset to try to fix it and that did not help at all. I am wondering if it is being caused by some kind of recent app update? Maybe system webview? That has caused problems for me before with other apps.

Mine just started doing the same thing the other day and it is pretty persistent.
This was happening to me too. I was using a material design theme. Resetting the theme to the default and then back to the one I wanted seems to have temporarily resolved the issue. It's only been a few hours, but no crashes so far. I'll update this if I start getting crashes again.
Same Problem, it started after i did a bunch of update requests.
Yep...here too

Are any regular S6 owners experiencing this?
It happened to me again once about an hour ago. It is less persistent after re applying my theme.
OK guys are all of you running package disabler pro? I have been running it since day one with no issue. Since disabling it I have not had any further problems. Apparently a recent update caused some sort of issue.

I had package disabler installed but no apps disabled with it. I have now uninstalled it and will see if anything changes.
Still persists after removing package disabler. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Yup same here. Worked fine after re enabling everything for a while them bam it struck again. So its not package disabler. I am at a loss. Even starting fresh didnt help it. It is apparently not anything we are doing but a samsung issue instead.
Strangely enough, the problem seems to have resolved itself.
