I have googled and searched everywhere and can't even find someone else having this issue. I have about a 2 week old note 8, and it happens any time, but I have made sure that it wasn't because the phone was locked, but for example, with the screen unlocked from the home page, I can pull down the notification bar, start scrolling down through my notifications and the whole bar will disappear, like I scrolled from the bottom to close it but didn't. Sometimes I swipe it down and it closes immediately, other times I can swipe it down and scroll through all my notifications and it will stay open, and sometimes it will close as I'm scrolling. I would think it was an issue with the touch sensor on the screen but in no other app does it randomly scroll anywhere. I've tried restarting the phone multiple times, with no fix. It just started doing this either yesterday or the day before and I can't think of any apps that I installed that would maybe cause anything like that. I haven't completely reset the phone because I don't want to and it would be pretty bad to have to reset it after 2 weeks.. Does anybody have any other thoughts or similar thing happening?
Is it possible that you have the fingerprint unlock set to allow you to pull down and push up the notification shade?
There is already a thread discussion for this. You are not the only one with this problem, I have it also.

thanks for the update. Didn't see that thread before. Looks like its not an isolated issue then..
I am hoping this will be a firmware/software issue. I currently have very little installed on my phone, so I am thinking it's fixable.

Not sure what causes it but lately my PIE locks up such that i see the title bar when i switch to PIE from another app ut nothing else.
tried clearing cookies and files....wondered if it only happened in switches from portrait to landscape but it seems random.
no task manager wioo close PIE and the only fix is a soft reset.
tried searching to see if this was a common issue but couldnt find anything. anyone's help would be appreciated
Did you move the cache to the storage card? PIE doesn´t seem to like that....
No, my cache goes on the device.
I've looked at other threads dealing with lockup and they all talk about the whole unit or temporary lockups with PIE.
This is strange behavior in that the rest of the apps work fine, and I can "close" PIE but if I open it again, all I get is the title bar with no window below it (I still see what was on the screen before whether it be the Today screen or another application).
I thought I was the only one having this funny problem on my device. But the difference is that the problem is solved when I exit PIE and launch it again. My cache is on the device too.
Hi,
does anybody here use PocketShield?
I experience a strange problem - time to time when I unlock my phone the whole top bar disappears. The Start button, the Close button...everything.
I can't do anything with the phone - the only solution seems to be to navigate to the programs tab (via TF3D), select All programs and run the Lock - this locks the phone again and when I unlock it then suddenly my top bar is back. It seems to be completely random.
I know that there is a forum on the developers site but I was wondering if any of the bright minds here could help me ;-)
I am running the 2.0.6.2 free version.
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.
Cheers.

Mine locks up when Gyrator2 tries to rotate the screen on incoming calls. Really annoying. I want to be able to rotate my screen in most programs, but it always seems to screw up my incoming calls and creates more lag...I'm gonna try to go back to sensorlock instead of pocketshield...
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.

I had to same problem. I had Gyrator2 running which rotated the screen and screwed up Pocketshield screen.
I put an Event in Gyrator2 to disable rotation when in PShield screen.
The Event should be the same as Manila's except application/window title is "PShield"
That fix the problem.
i get odd issues as well
I agree, I get odd issues as well. I get the occassional hang, crash, missing bar etc. I uninstall pocketshield and I don't get issues. I'm using NATF 2.3 rom. I paid for it and it worked ok for a while until I noticed these intermittent problems...

I created a rule in Gyrator almost immediately after installing PS - I didn't want it to rotate the PS screen.
I left it up to Gyrator to get the window name and now my rule is set for the window #NETCF_AGL_BASE_.
But my problem is not in rotating, my problem is in unlocking (at least I think so). Anyway, will try to change the window name to PShield and see if it makes any difference.
EDIT
Nope it didn't. The top bar disappeared again during the first seconds of my testing :-(

Thank you my friend for letting me know. If this is indeed fixed I don't mind paying the $13. Will check it right now.
New version available today - but it's not working correctly. after I use the slide bars one time to ignore a call, every call after that is missing the slide bar (answer and ignore soft buttons are there though) and when caller hangs up before I take any action PS just sits there, like it's stuck. Sounds like the same problems you describe earlier.
Im using PocketShield, but I was wondering - the phone always locks after I insert the stylus (I have Touch HD), after a while PocketShield kicks in and after that if I want to unlock the device, I first have to unlock the "normal" lock and then the PocketShield. Really annying.
Is there a way to disable the lock after stylus insertion?

actually i just experience this an hour ago.. also every time I slide the keyboard to unlock my Fuze the screen freezes on the landscape mode. all keys on the keyboard besides the windows key. I hope they fix these bugs right away..
I have the same problem with the top bar disappearing. I'm not running Gyrator or anything like that. I'll try a new version when the bugs mentioned have been ironed out. It is a great product though. I do like it.
Are any of these being posted in the PocketSheild forum? They need to know the bugs.

yes many people posted on the pocketshield forums with same issues...
i dont know if anyone else is having this issue... but
i seems that when slide to answer is activated PSPP some calls get answered automatically... and it takes me to the "talking" screen immediately.
any help on this issue would be super!
I'm having other issues with PocketShield. I didn't have this same problem with version 2.0.6.3, but with version 2.1 I started to have problems with my alarm notification. When the alarm goes off, it just quickly vibrates once and just stops if it's in a locked state. Also, I noticed a heavy battery drain issue--the battery charge would drop about 10% each hour. Once I uninstalled it, the problems with the alarm and battery drain stopped.
Even with the new version (2.1.0.1) I still have problems answering phone calls. I'll slide to answer and the phone just keeps ringing. I hit the "Send" key and nothing happens. I hit the "Answer" soft key and still nothing....
Anyone else still see these problems?
I have a different issue, when phone is not locked and I have an incoming phone call, pocket shield kicks in and shows me "lock screen" where I have to slide to unlock the device and only then I get the standard "Incoming call" screen...
v2.1.0.1
Major Problems
Well I was gonna pay for it but their payment server seems to be phishing site. Also it crashed SQB and when I uninstalled it, the program removed my outlook email account. Sorry but looks like malicious program so going back to an old sensor lock. I did like the software interface but Paypal confirmed me, so I shouldn't need to give you my personal information to pay for the software. No shipping means I am not giving you my phone number and address, etc. Sorry too many questionable things going on for a screen lock... rule is KISS and since this programmer isn't doing that then dump it off my device is my rule.

My S5 seems to be possessed. Its not rooted (cant anyway) no rom, have done absolutely nothing out of the ordinary to the phone other then install my normal apps from the play store.
Yet the phone is constantly, about 20x a day just going to the 'call logs' screen. I've rebooted the phone, logged in and with nothing open poof call logs. It seems to happen more when my fingers are hovering near but not touching the screen, is there some sort of air gesture for call logs that I dont know about ? Its never any other screen, its not like its accidentally hitting the 'back' button. It is starting to get a bit annoying ..
I notice mine opens apps "on its own". Not sure if its a gestures or hover thing or what. Usually gallery or phone, which are right next to each other on my home screen (all the way left). Must have something to do with it.

YES!!! My Rogers (SM-G900W8) does it too! I thought it was probably because I installed something, but, now that I see you have the issue !!
I posted this same question in the Q&A section regarding the call logs. Ultimately , I factory reset my phone. That fixed whatever the problem was. It was annoying the crap out of me.

I found the problem, it was my galaxy gear 2, every time it 'checked' my phone for new messages it would leave the phone on the call log. I turned off the option to open content on my phone from my gear and all is well now !
I have been experiencing this issue since upgrading to Lollipop on my S5. I too have a Galaxy Gear 2. I have just disabled 'Smart Relay' in the Gear App (which is what I presume you were referring to) and so far all seems good Thanks.
I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.
1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.
2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.
3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly
4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.
5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.
So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.

Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.

So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.
So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.
I been having this annoying issue with the top left corner not responding to touch. This will often happen when I'm in a app or have multiple apps open. This never happened before. Until I got this replacement device. Has anyone else experience this issue?
can you remember if you were plugged in to the power source? I've had that few times using the phone while charging. unplug it then problem goes away. I think it's a known issue from the LG OS/software. it happens rarely so I don't really see that as a problem but surely a bug needs to be fixed.
I am having the same exact problem with my S6 edge. And looking around the Web, I've found that many others seem to be having the same problem with various devices. The only common link I've seen so far is lollipop.
Even if you rotate the screen, the dead area moves with the rotation and you still can't click on that area to access the menu, etc.
Of course, I can't find anyone official to acknowledge the problem, so I'm not sure what we can do.
Wow that's sucks. A buddy of mine is having the same issue with lollipop 5.1 I'm having this problem now after getting a brand new unopened lg g4.

I had the same issue a few days ago. This was after I flashed back to stock and just finished adding all my apps back. I don't know if flashing back or adding an app caused it. All I did was kdz back and my top left corner started working again.
Try to remove facebook messenger , restart and try it will be solved (worked with me )
FB Messenger is definitely the problem. I can pretty much guarantee it. Been testing it here and that's what I keep seeing as the cause of the issue.

The short version, a buttload of testing with various different phones between myself and other digital forensic examiners. Can't exactly say WHAT is causing it in their code. But we can comfortably say that it is being caused by the app. We have some speculation as to the problem, but not enough to exactly pinpoint it. But we can comfortably saw that it's Facebook Messenger.
I uninstalled the app and my screen started to work properly again. Kinda wish I knew this 3 replacement phones ago.
