[Q] Blank icon on Paranoid Android notification bar - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I'm using Paranoid Android v2.21 on my Ace. It has a few bugs, but it's okay in almost every aspect.
My problem is, that after some layout changes (tried out tablet, then phablet then changed back to stock phone UI) I'm having a weird issue. When I turn on or reboot the phone I get a blank icon on the right side of the notification bar just between the wifi signal strength icon and the vibrating (silent) phone icon. I was wondering what it could possibly be and finally found out that when I open my stock clock app and turn on and then off one of the alarms it disappears. Turning the alarm on makes the blank icon reappear. At start it's always there even though my alarms are off. I'm not sure if thats an app or rom issue since the clock is a system app.
Any ideas? Maybe try to overwrite the clock app with one from another source?

CM7 Status Bar Force Close

The past few days I've been getting a "Status Bar" force close which means the notifications bar completely disappears, including the main Android buttons in Tablet Tweaks.
Going into the settings and toggling top status bar or bottom status bar doesn't bring it back, nor does going into Manage Applications and clicking Force Stop on the status bar.
Has anyone run into this issue and been able to fix it without rebooting?
Haven't had the issue in a while (knock on wood), but it always recovered pretty quick (a few seconds later). Have you tried disabling "disable fullscreen"? That seems to have helped out. I found toggling all the buttons in the Tablet Tweaks area fixed a lot of things...
I had the same issue yesterday. After playing with WIFI setting several times, the status bar suddenly force closed and was not able to recover. I had to reboot the Nook.
Same issue here. My status bar will occasionally force close when playing around with one specific widget (Pure Messenger). Sometimes it will come right back and sometimes it doesn't and nothing outside of rebooting will fix the problem.
Has anyone come up with a solution that doesn't require a reboot?
Same, restarts sometimes, other tines it doesn't come back. You could use Hot Restart rather than reboot but otherwise...

App in the market, it's a widget that you tap and it'll offer to "hot restart", ie: Restart Android. It's a little faster than a full reboot.
You could try adding the open/close status bar shortcut to your homescreen. Long press on home screen->launcher actions->open /close status bar.
I've started using Taker on my NC and I've found every time I open it, Status Bar crashes, and about half the time doesn't come back... Meh.

Doubt that.. It fixes itself sometimes after a few seconds. Other times a reboot is required.

The default ADWLauncher has it, although it interacts very strangely with the double-chevron "allow fullscreen" soft-button control (diddles the same API, perhaps?). Just added it, so I haven't had time for a status bar crash since.
Rotating never worked for me, but the "Notification Restart" app worked maybe a couple of times, but hasn't the last few instances.

Unfortunately the status bar show/hide shortcut trick doesn't work if the status bar itself is well and truly gone. So far only a reboot has brought it back reliably.
In other news though, I've recently removed the Elixir widget from my home screen and gone to manually turning on/off the WiFi and that seems to have improved things for me. YMMV

I just upgraded to n102, no OC, and almost immediately got three instances of the status bar turning invisible, but still working (the screen space is still reserved but blank, the buttons work, you just can't see them), and rotating the screen fixes that problem. Smells like a missed repaint of some kind.
No complete crashes yet.

cm 10.1 JB4.2.2 unable to swipe down status bar in apps

I just flashed my S3 LTE with cm-10.1-20130316-UNOFFICIAL build. After that everything seems fine except that whenever i am in any full screen apps cannot swipe down to open the status bar. Anyone know how to fix this?

I haven't used CM in a while, but I believe its meant to be like that. As I said, I haven't used CM in a while, so I might be wrong.

It's still there. Annoying as hell to be honest. Always have to change app/go into task manager to see the notification bar.

Have you noticed how old is this thread? I also approached exactly the same problem, but there is option in more customizable roms (like carbon, slim roms, liquid smooth, illusion) called "status bar peek" or something similar, which enables similar behaviour of status bar like in Samsung stock rom.
Do not know if it is in CM nightlies...

Problem with statusbar

Hello guys, I dont know why but like 10 after every reboot my status bar stops showing things but keeps working, this happened (I'm not sure that this is the cause) after installing and unistalling this application, I wanted to try how it works, when I pull down my status bar I can tap notification but i cant see it, I just see homescreen like I haven't pulled down. I'm actually on status bar but it didnt show nothing

If you're running a custom ROM you could try reflashing it without wiping anything.

Following annoying things introduced in Google PIE update,
I am Nokia 7 Plus user
After having PIE update, Google search bar stays there on Home screen by default & don't have option to remove it using settings.
On Home screen current Date & Time is getting displayed along with temperature, in preferences option for this, there is no option to disable Temperature part
Turning the time off in System UI doesn't stick, soon as the screen locks & you open it the time comes back. :/

Something like it
Since the update I have noticed lower volume on Bluetooth when connected to me car kit, max volume on the phone but I have to turn the stereo volume up another 20% or so.
Also voice unlock will work some times, then tells me it's paused and I have to unlock manually.
Anyone else hit the power button/double tap and see that the notifications are collapsed? Usually this cuts off some of the text. As soon as you tap the notification (or try to take a screenshot) it expands. Seems to be my only gripe so far.
-Bluetooth not working ok. Sometimes it conects and keep sounding in the phone instead of the headsets. It eats way more battery than before.
-White balance problem with the camera, sometimes in sunny situations it turns everithing to a ugly yellow. Even putting manual white balance does nothing.
-Sometimes notifications don't show up, even in apps that i use all the time.
-Battery life is considerable worst than 8.0 august.
-Everything is less smoth, stutters on animations, the notification panel collapse with 3 notifications and don't show the messages, just a white bar.
-In thr upper corner where you see the notifications it shows a point instead of the notifications when you have 3 or more notifications.
-Ambient display showing a horizontal bar in the screen even if there are notifications.
After so many previews i was not expecting this, i am really dissapointed.

Did you do a fresh install or just updated over 8.1 ?
Anyone get squashed notifications like this?

I had this bug also, that's why I rolled back to oreo.
Can you confirm if you also lose the animations in the lockscreen?

Yes, it jumps from that condensed notification to the full size one instantly. Really hoping this gets ironed out :l
How did you update? Via OTA or sideload?
If this was via OTA thats really bad from Nokia.
Other question! wich variant is your phone? TA-1046 or TA-1062

Sideloaded, and TA-1062.
Yes same here.
I also sideloaded with TA-1062 and got that bug in the lockscree.
I rolledback to oreo and decided to wait, because I dont know if TA-1062 has something special with Pie, becuase other people who updated to pie in other variants (TA-1046 for example) are not facing the issue
Wating to recive a oficial OTA.

One UI(Samsung UX) Discussion

Samsung's new interface is astonishingly smooth. At first I thought it was just going to be another sluggish UI just like TouchWiz but I have to admit I was wrong. I was planning on junking my Unlocked S9 since it was a slow sluggish mess for a Pixel. I installed the S9 Pie + OneUI beta on release day and been using it since. I can not get the UI to hiccup at all no matter how much I try. After reading about Samsung UX it appears that they got some help from Google to enhance it's interface and it definitely paid off.
Memory management is still absurd for a phone with 4GB of memory. I switch beta HTC, Samsung and Google designed phones and always found myself back to HTC's Sense UI.

Hi, could you share an dump for all the apps from pie?
I love the new Ui UX too. And the little things are really great ~ like the clock icon changes to reflect the actual time!!

One thing I don't really like about the OneUI:
Bluetooth and Alarm icons don't show in your status bar anymore. They only show up when you pull down the notification shade (Samsung responded to my feedback and confirmed this is to keep the status bar "clean")

Yeah, it's annoying having to do an extra step just to see if I've set my alarm for work.
Another thing I don't like is the fact they've removed the battery saving option from location settings (but this is a Google change not Samsung)

I have alarm set for the same time monday to friday, but I have random days off work and don't always remember if I've turned it off/on. Having the icon in the bar acted as a prompt for me. Now I have to unlock my phone and pull the notification down to check.

I agree. I registered it as a bug only to discover later that it was a feature. In some regards I like it. But I feel it should be a customizable feature.

Awesome. Plenty of people had mentioned the missing icons in the feedback in the Members app. Samsung genuinely listened to the feedback!
'Close all apps' also now works with 3rd party launchers in the latest beta
The battery is awesome i am getting about 4-5 screen on time!
its butter smooth, rather on oreo i was getting max of 2 screen on time! and it was laggy and freeze
Ive an issue. Since updating to this, my phone won't see any SSID's, at all, none. It just spins and scanning.

Can you share this feedback for me to Samsung please... im on beta 3 build december patch on Android pie 9 but i have seen that they havent fixed a bug that still persist since beta 1 was released. When you pull down notification shade and Open a new incoming message or music app even though is in memory it last like 2 second to open.. that delay is not present in oreo roms and its kind of annoying.. can you please share this feedback to program beta.. I appreciate your help. I dont know if its a bug or windows animation but dont like a bit!!!
Not to happy of the "cards" layout i settings, any way to get the old looks again?
Thread cleaned.
Keep this thread on topic and avoid drama or childish comments.
Does anyone know where they have moved the icon framing option? Or if it's been removed entirely, I can't remember where I found it on Oreo, and I can't find it at all on Pie.

Don't know about stock, but Nova Launcher has that option
It was about perfect for me running CRLB on the S9 except 5G wifi didn't work. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker right now. Is there a website that states what's new in these updates?
