Hi,
My Z1 constantly displays some kind of logo in the status bar, but when I pull it down there no indication of why that icon is there. It looks like the logo that is printed on the center back of the phone. I tried turning off this x-reality engine, but no change. Reboot also doesn't get rid of it.
Any idea what that is?

That isn't an icon for x-reality. It's the NFC icon and you can get rid of it by turning NFC off.

Hey all.
I know I'm not the only one but my At&t HTC One kinda annoying seeing nfc that I can't even use the way I want to and power save option on the notification bar that I really would never use. Has anyone found a way to remove it?

Root and use custom rom or root and use modaco tools to remove...use the search function

I read that you can long press on the notification, and disable the app and it would actually still be turned on.
Just a question... How did you even get to show an NFC icon on your device? I myself wanted to at least show that icon when my NFC is turned on to no avail. This has been bothering my for weeks already as I am afraid that I might be having a broken NFC chip on my device as everytime I toggle it I don't see any N icons at the statusbar at all.

For NFC to work, you have to turn off Power Saver. I learnt this the hard way when I thought my NFC chip wasn't working as well, was halfway to the shops for an exchange when I thought, let's try this one last thing
I don't have any NFC notifications though.

I don't think that's accurate, unless it only turns nfc off at a certain battery threshold.
Tested mine @ 27% battery and it still makes the bloopy nfc sound, with power saver on. I also do not have any nfc notifications, just the sound.

The NFC icon only shows up on AT&T(possibly T-Mobile/Sprint) configured devices. If you're installing your ROMs with the International settings, it won't show up.
EDIT: Also the NFC antennae itself is located on the top quarter of the phone, so if you're trying to make contact with another NFC device or a tag, you'll need to position it there.
Ohh ok So it's another AT&T exclusive lol! Finally this made my mind at ease now... Was really wondering why no icon shows up yet logcat doesn't show any errors at all. :good:

To remove the "Power Save" notification (without root), long press on the notification, tap "App info", then force close. The notification will go away until you either reach 14% battery life (at which the Power Save turns on), or if you restart your phone. Then just force close it again.
Xposed module to remove the NFC icon completely!

I just wrote a Xposed module which can remove the NFC Icon (I only tested on HTC One X, but should work on HTC One). The NFC Icon is complete GONE! You could check out on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467970
To remove the nfc icon settings>more and untick the nfc box..
There is an app in the play store that will remove the power saver icon if you mean that you want to use the power saver, but not have the icon in the status bar. Otherwise, just go into settings aswell and turn it off. Settings>power
Or did I totally misunderstand the thread?
Edit: the app is called 'jmz power saver disabler' again, this is if you want power saver running, but not the icon visible. Otherwise just turn off power saver under settings.

I don't think he wanted to turn these features off, just doesn't want the notification(s) taking up room in his status bar. The NFC icon can be turned off (if you're rooted), by navigating to /system/customize/ACC/default.xml - open this with a text editor. Find <item type="integer" name="nfc_show_icon">1</item> and change 1 to 0, then reboot. Now NFC can be on, and the icon won't be there. Haven't found an easy way like this for the Power Saver notification, but like mrrick said, there is an app to do it, as well as a few other options in Dev
Edit: whoaaa this thread was way dead, man...

All,
Would anybody know how to help me with a little problem. Last night, my notification bar has stopped working, just become none responsive completely. The screen is still sensing the touch because it works when using different apps, but I can no longer pull down the notification bar meaning I can not reset any notifications I receive. I have tried switching the phone on and off again, and also did a factory reset but it hasn't made any difference.
The handset I have is an O2 Xperia Z, running Android 4.2.2.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, I am considering heading to my local O2 shop later today.
Thanks

Suggest to try to repair with pc companion first. Select the left hand most option, and then the "repair" option.
I know you say the screen is working, but try testing it to make sure touches are registering on all of the top part of the screen.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler -> Service tests -> Touch screen.

Thanks guys,
I am just charging my handset up to 50% required to try and repair and will give that a go.
In the mean time I have just tried the service test and it appears that in the 6-7mm at the top of the screen there is no sensitivity. However...when on my home screen, there is no response from the status notification bar in that area, yet when I scroll left and right within that area, the home screen is being pulled side to side so there is obviously some kind of happening within that area, just not having any effect on the status bar.
Does this mean it may need a new screen?

If you screenshot your phone it should come back. That usually works.

i have some problem, always show the pop up notification has stopped, what should i do ?
has a similar problem recently with my Xperia Z. The lower portion of the screen containing the navigation bar stops responding to touches. I tried service tests and confirmed that on the nav bar area, touches are not registered. So, I guess this is a hardware problem?
My temporary solution is to use "Screen Settings" app and change the screen resolution. I have now a smaller workable screen but at least both my nav bar and task bar works. downside is, I don't have a 16:9 aspect ratio screen anymore. hehe
Anybody?
Oh, and I'm almost sure this is not a software issue as I tried stock rom and custom rom, and on both roms, the lower portion of the touch screen is not responding to touches. so, yes, hardware problem maybe. Anybody else encountered this?
Hello I have the same problem with a notification bar. Do any one manage to resolve it?
Thanks
same here.... need solution...
Hi, I have a problem with my sony z3 compact, the notification dropdown dropsdown often with a very light tap.
It's so sensitive that the notification bar drops often by itself by tapping apps buttons which are at the top of the screen (back in gmail, whatsapp etc.)
Try it for yourself by tapping lightly at the base of the "o" on the sony logo.
is this a hardware fault with my unit or does your z3 compact do the same?

I think it's meant to behave that way.
Do you sometimes have the problem where home screens, pictures, etc bounce back unintended when you swipe through them?

I made a video illustrating the issue:
http://youtu.be/YOXADb5NgPI
I suppose it is a software choice rather than a hardware one, however my samsung S4 and my old experia ray don't behave this way. You must slide the finger vertically over a portion of the screen to enable the notification dropdown, tapping would not automatically drop down the full notification screen. To me this sounds like a problem because it makes it hard to click buttons at the top of the screen most as of the time the damned notification menu drops down covering the whole screen.
I searched for an option under settings to change the notification settings but either I can't find it or there isn't anything to change it from tap to slide.
Regarding your question I'm not sure, I don't think so. The only issue I noticed (aside from the notification dropdown activated by tap (really annoying) is the camera:
If you set a lock option and unlock the phone by using the camera icon, and then you change the camera mode the phone locks itself again. Basically the 'unlock using the camera icon' let's you take pictures with the selected camera mode without unlocking the phone, but you still have to unlock the phone to use any other phone feature.

Thanks for the fast reply, don't you find that the statusbar drops down accidentally too often when navigating the top portion of the screen? it's a bit annoying IMHO (or perhaps I have big hands )
I'll need to check in the play store to see whether there are apps that let you change the way the notification bar is activated
It hasn't bothered me, so far.
Though I just checked on my Xperia Z2 Tablet and it doesn't behave that way on that one. Maybe the Z3C's touch screen is just too sensitive, as a side effect of the technology that makes the glove mode possible?

Has this never happened to you with this phone? Mostly when using it with one hand only.

No it hasn't (but I need to pay more attention when using a single hand, will get back to you ). I tend to use two hands because, being the device so smooth I need to be careful and fight gravity quite a lot, I managed to almost drop it two times as it tends to slide from my hand

I have the same Problem with the sensitive notification menu... just lightliy tap anywhere close to it and it springs down and covers the whole screen. Coming from iOS where these things weren't even an issue, it's very annoying. It's currently the main reason why I want to try a different ROM.... Problem is I'm somehow unable to unlock my bootloader, and even then I'm not yet sure how to change the ROM. Damn, on iOS things were so simple... jailbreak tool, go to cydia, customise everything however I want....

Not sure if this will solve your problem, but you can check out All In One Gestures from the Play Store and activate tapping the status bar to do "nothing" by leaving it blank.
Edited: N/m, just tried it, didn't work. Still a useful app though! I'm using it for full immersive mode, so that's kind of another way to solve the status bar problem.

I gave it a go and it didn't work either, sony must do some lowerlevel tweaking to the notification bar.
I hope they fix it soon
Another sony dumb crap that I hate. It's so damn sensitive that it pulls down every time I use the phone to my ear. Sometime some quick settings activated and I had no idea wtf happened.
Dumb fuc.k sony is so annoying. Even my Z3C is rooted, I haven't found a way to disable this crap. Full of crapwares, cheap crappy glass and display, now this. Seriously all sony engineers and designers should just eat shi.t and die.
I thought I was alone in this. I've become fed up in call pull the phone away from my ear and it activates the pull down. Sigh.
There is a vertical green line near the right side of my screen. I don't know how it got there. I was listening to music and I turned the screen on and its there.
I'm on lightrom 5.1.1. I flashed it the other day and no problems. I would post a screenshot, but it doesn't show in them for some reason.
If it doesn't show in screenshots, that usually means its hardware as only software issues would show in a screenshot. Can it be seen during boot on the coloured parts?
Yes it can.
It's weird because when I turn my screen off, its the last thing to go off after black screen.

On the boot animation but not showing up in screenshots?
If it doesn't show up in screen shots, then it's hardware related. Screenshots take a picture of what you see software-wise. If your display completely dies, your phone would probably still turn on and allow you to do things if there were only a way to interact with it. Seeing that the green bar is always present, except in screenshots, it's hardware related. I'd RMA it or return it, depending on when you got it. First though, flash back to stock everything. They might blame you for the hardware fault. Lol.
