When I press my home key on the home page, the notification screen comes down but goes right back up. I have to hit it several times before the screen stays down. I am using launcher pro, which I have used on both of my prior Android phones without this issue. Any ideas? I have the notification bar hidden.

Maybe you bind home key for both notification bar and home screen?
Launcher pro setting is to go to home screen unless you are on home screen, then it pulls down notification screen. Same setting I had on Aria and Atrix without issue. I also had notifications hidden, but since I am having this issue I changed that setting. Now I can pull it down by sliding downward. However. I prefer to hide the notification bar.

Is there a way besides sliding the notification bar and clicking on the phone call item to go to the phone call status ? from a shortcut or a widget ?
I'd rather just press home and have it on the screen to return to it.
Would love that too. What makes it worse is when i go to swipe the notification bar, I invariably trigger the proximity sensor which turns off the screen.

or just hit the phone button at the bottom.
Your only other option is to open the dialer/phone app. Meaning, the stock/Sense one, not DialerOne or your replacement dialer.
I can root, install Roms, and all the other geeky ****..
Yet the most basic thing... Making a phone call.... I still cannot figure out..
Flashing over to another call
Three way calling (still cannot figure this out right)
getting back to the phone while in a current call.
Is there a hold button?
LOL

Exactly.
I'm running CM6 and the stock dialer you have to press something extra to get to the actual call.
Hey guys...
Just wanted to post this little find. I haven't seen it posted before, so I apologise if I missed that thread...
Try this...
Open an application with the settings button in the bottom corner.
Switch off screen
Switch on screen
Do you have the settings button in the same corner? Press it... screen unlocks
Shortcut or flaw?

Oh wow, never noticed that before. I can't think of any benefit of it so it likely to be a bug.

The online kitchen over at MoDaCo has an option to disable 'menu key unlock'. I'm assuming this is referring to this issue (if it is an issue) but I may be wrong.

don't get this option. is it something to turn on in Settings?
Did you also notice that you can access the notification bar from the lock screen?
Can't be a feature, surely?

That is actually a feature. Quite useful if you don't have a pattern/pin/face lock setup.

it is most definitely a feature, and was demoed at the first unveiling of the phone back in October.
Ahhhh... so it doesn't work if there is security lock on... I get it.. ty

Can someone explain what the purpose of the settings button is in this context? Is it just another way to unlock the screen? Why does it only appear in the given scenario?
Also, why do the back and home buttons appear when you drag down the notifications bar?
They do not appear to be functional, but can be pressed. I suppose the back button makes sense, as it dismisses the notification panel, but the home button does not appear to be functional.
I opened facebook, the menu button was there. I turned off screen, then turned it back on. the menu button was there on my lock screen but when I pushed it, nothing happened. phone did not unlock. I use pattern unlock.

More than likely, the menu button being on the lock screen is just a glitch that really shouldn't be there. The good news is that if you have a lock other than the slide lock (Pattern, Password, Pin, Face) the the menu button on screen does nothing.
It's already been reported to google as a bug. It only happens if you have an insecure lock method (swipe, or none).
Does anyone know how to fix the problem whereby the screen's sensitivity gets worse the longer the screen stays on? Some obvious problems of this are missed keys on the keyboard while typing. Others have looked into this and have been able to properly assert that sensitivity worsens as the screen stays on longer, for some reason.

Something I discovered.
If you change the long press for home to be recents, the problem still persists.
If you access the recents screen but press back, the bug won't show in whichever app is already open until you go back home.
Just installed Lollypop on my new M8. I can't find a way if turning off notifications on the lock screen but leaving them working on the notification bar.
The help says this.
"Lock screen notifications
Choose the types of notifications to show or hide on the lock screen. Go to Settings, and then tapSecurity.Under*Lock screen, tapNotification settings.Choose whether to show or hide notifications such as missed calls and text messages. "
But on mine, there is no "Notifications" under Lock Screen, just "Incoming Phone Calls". Has my install gone wrong? Do others have the correct menu item? Is there another way of turning off lock screen notifications?
Thanks.

Try this :
settings - security than reset your lockscreen. Reset it the way you want and it will ask you again to show notifications or not.
Worked for me for the lock pattern.
Thanks. That is one answer - I had answered to hide sensitive info but didn't like the opaque notifications. They'd be ok if they were transparent.
I've now found another way, not mentioned in the help and tips. Go to Sound & Notifications | When device is locked. However, that only gives on or off, not the sensitive info option.
I'd love to make them transparent again. Has anyone found a way of doing that?
I've also found you can turn them off app by app by pressing & holding the notification on the lock screen but then you never see another notification from that app until you turn it back on (Sound & Notifications | App Notifications).

Anyone?
Is there a way of making notifications on the lock screen (or the notification bar) transparent (or black)?

I have a Moto G 5G Plus. Does anyone know how to use the split screen functionality to view 2 apps side-by-side? I’m running the Nova Launcher and can’t work out how to do it.
You can use Motorola gestic to do so.
Activate it under Motorola Actions - gestures
Put on finger on the leftern-middle side of the screen and Swipe from left to the right and back to the left.
I'm using Smart Launcher and I've got problems using split screen as well.
Thanks for your reply. I've enabled that option but can't get it to work. For example, if I swipe from the left in Google Maps I see a "<" appear on the left centre of the screen. It disappears again as I swipe back from the right but the screen does not split. I've tried it in the Gmail and PocketCasts apps and I get the same thing.
Swipe up and hold until vibrate toget to the screen where you can switch apps.
Press and hold the app icon at the top of the card.
There you should find the option.
