Just got my new Nexus today
But sometimes I cannot pull down the notification bar when in lockscreen
I have to restart the phone to be able to pull down the notification bar again
Anyone has similar experience?
Any fix?
I didn't think it was possible on the lockscreen to begin with

Yes its possible in ICS.
Mine is working fine. So far. Do you have any widget on notification such as widgetsoid perhaps? But it should working though

Didn't know this was even possible.
I do have Widgetsoid yes, does that stop it working? Because I am unable to pull down the notif' bar when locked.
Well you could try to remove it see if that works. If yes then probably just minor bug on widgetsoid. I know some of the widgets are still not working on ICS

I too, was unaware of this option. Works fine on my GN LTE.
I believe if you have one of the more secure unlock methods active (PIN, face, pattern) it won't work. Believe it needs to be on slide to work.

Yep, only works on slide.
Thanks.
It's working now.
So weird...
Can anyone access settings through the notification bar when locked?

Only when you have no pin or pattern to unlock. So its not any less secure...
Anyone know of a good replacement for the lock screen on the GN? Say one which lets you launch messaging, phone etc from the actual lock screen?

why i can't drop down notification bar in lock screen? I'm using version 4.0.1
If you have any of the security settings on you won't be able to do use the drop down bar. You have to set it to use no unlock password.
i'm not using any unlock password. i'm using slide to unlock.

Which is there to prevent you from accidentally activate something else, like the notification bar.

one of the features of ics is being able to drag down the notification bar from the lock screen. I use slide to unlock and this feature works fine for me. to op.. are you on a custom rom?

Works for me with slide unlock as well.
I am on 4.0.3 custom rom (Axiom) though. I was not on 4.0.1 long enough to see if it worked then.
I'm using Slide to Unlock and I can pull down the notification bar on lock screen to see what's in there.
OP, try activating a secure lock method (such as password/pattern/pin) and then switching back to the slide to unlock...
my last experience is, for some weird reason, if i do not have a simcard in the phone, the notification bar will not slide down.
once i got a sim card in, it start working.

i'm on stock rom!
but Maybe that's why, now I have no Sim Card.
I am using a LTE GN with AOKP. My question is about the lock screen settings. I looked and maybe I am missing it. But I can not see a way to stop the notification screen from coming on while on the lock screen. Is this something not supported with this ROM?

If the option is not in settings you can always use WidgetLocker for your lock screen, its infinitely customizable.

Yeah, I could do that. I purchased the app in the past and could download it again. More than likely I will just have the notification screen come down during the lock screen though. Since I don't want to use that app for that.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I forgot that application can do that.

Hello everybody.
I am new here and I'm sorry if this has been answered already but I could not find an answer. Anyway. I installed WidgetLocker on my Galaxy Nexus but when I uninstalled it later on it left my notifications bar inaccessible from my stock lock screen. It can't be pulled down without unlocking the phone! Is there a way to fix this? It's just awful...
Edit: It can be pulled down in the WidgetLocker lock screen but I don't want to use it.
Do you have password our pattern unlock activated?
The notification bar is only accessible with slide to unlock.

Just tried it, no luck. The problem persists. I think I'll give the factory reset a try.
!EDIT!: Tried it, didn't work out.
Maybe increasing security (activate pattern/password) and then setting it back to slide unlock can fix it?

Unfortunately that was one of the first things I tried.
Why is my notification bar disabled even though I don't have that setting enabled?
One of two reasons: The Block Power Dialog option unfortunately also blocks expanding of the notification bar. The Settings help will be updated in the future to explain this. System security (pin/pattern/password) locks the notification bar itself, this is independent of WidgetLocker.
Found on their website. Don't know if this is a fix or not since I don't have widget locker installed.

Yeah, I stubled upon that too but the weird thing is that the bar is NOT disabled while using WidgetLocker but becomes inaccessible after removing or disabling the app. I'm running ICS 4.0.2 so I'll update and see what happens.
The day before I noticed I had a weather notification in my notification tray that looked amazing. I'm assuming it was stock since I have no weather apps or widgets installed but now the notification is gone. Does anyone know why or when it shows up or how to get it back?

This is apart of Google now.
Edit: In order for it to reappear you have to turn Google now off and then on. I believe since this is a alpha build everything is not worked out so Google now is not fully functional

That did the trick. Thank you so much man XD

It is presumably supposed to open up the weather app for you when weather changes or you move to a different location with different weather. I don't think you can make it a persistent notification.
further info on this issue
I had the same issue/question - this is the only thread I found in a day of searching. The stop-Google-Now-restart method didn't immediately work. Looking under Google Now settings in the weather settings there is a notifications toggle that was set to off. The other option is "low priority". Toggling Google Now off-on alone without this switched will not work.
turn off and on

after i turned my google now off i can't turn it back on... its gone from settings :/
then i deleted data for google search and google now was turned on again but still no weather card...
So I am running ICS on my AT&T Ion and noticed that when the screen is locked, the notification bar will still pull down from the top and allow you to access settings or any notifications. It seems to defeat the purpose of having the screen locked. I don't remember if this was the case with the stock firmware. Can anyone confirm?
You are correct. Gingerbread (2.3.7) on this phone does not allow pull-down notifications from the lock screen.

For that very reason, I use unlock pattern. Another option is to use a different locker. Holo locker does not allow access to status bar.

The idea is that if you can quickly check an email/text without having to unlock each time. I guess some ppl found unlocking an annoyance, but at least you can disable/enable it

That is one of the features of ICS. All ICS roms and phones let you do that. Gingerbread never had that feature. So it's not just this ICS rom.:good:
And either way, it isn't a security risk either. If you have a passcode or pattern enabled, it has to be entered for the Notification shortcut feature to work.:highfive:
