Hello everyone, I'm using Chrome as my main browser and there's something bugging me about its full screen behavior. Every once in a blue moon it goes totally full screen, hiding the Android bar at the top of the screen and I prefer this better. It makes use of the huge screen of the Note II. But then for most of the time it only hides is own address bar when scrolling down on a page and that's it. The Android status bar stays there and it's not total full screen. I've looked into the settings thoroughly but couldn't come up with a solution.
If you know what's going on please enlighten me. Thank you very much.

Chrome has gesture base feature for hiding action bar or address bar.
It is in built action and even no option for that in setting.
If you scroll down, action bar will be hide. If you scroll up, action bar will be visible.

If action bar is the bar with battery info and time and etc. It doesn't react to scrolling. Today I accidentally hid that bar and for a good couple of hours it didn't appear again no matter if I scrolled or tilted the phone. Now it came back. My Note II is as stock as it can be and I have no other issues with it. I'm confused now. Thank you for taking your time.
So you are talking about status bar. No chrome haven't provision for full screen without status bar.
But Samsung inbuilt stock browser having provision for full screen in settings. Check it out. May be you have observed in that browse.

I'm using Chrome. So what I'm experiencing must be some sort of a bug. Very very seldom this happens and I get a total full screen. I wish I could choose to have it that way all the time.
Thank you very much.
Adding pics. Maybe some of you also experience this?
I also have the Note ll and the same thing happens to me sometimes. I, unlike you, find this annoying and even though I don't know what causes it, restarting the app resets the bug. In case anyone wanted to know how to fix it.
If you have xposed installer ,using app settings app,you can use full screen to any app.

Unfortunately, I have got a little bit screen burn…
How can I hide the notification bar in app?
Are you sure that it is burned into your screen?
During the night my display is always on and I do not have any burn inns. I think in most cases it is just a slow response of the display. Try the app dead pixel from Google play and check if it blows away after some seconds.
Do you use automatic saturation?
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
When I test it with white color, the top of my screen is quite green, when test with other color, it's ok
I am using franco nightly 163 and foxhound 0.6
Although there is option for me to tune the color, it doesnt change.
Well…I am new in color tune, I just use the default setting of the kernel

Just randomly rotate the screen once a day, exercise those pixels so they get some even wear and tear and are not static all the time.
Using aokp, I hide the bottom bar then in web browser use full screen to hide top bar, so you have total full screen on the entire display. Then browse the web like that for a few minutes eachday. That's what I do. Not only that, but it looks phenomanal while doing it. Total HD mini tablet in your hand showing web page in 16x9 format. Awesome.
I am running Paranoid Android rom. If I press the powerbutton for 2 sec, I get the option to hide the statusbar. Maybe this is An option if others dont work..

Seeing as how some were concerned with burn-in/didn't want the status bar I'm releasing a first step towards it.
The status bar has been removed, however apps don't seem to reclaim it. I'll be working on this tonight/tomorrow and post any updates on it.
This is for Bigxie's v1 version of JB.
Update:
Adding a fullscreen version that permanently remains fullscreen after 2-3 force closes (There's only a few but they stop after a minute or two and I've yet to have any issues with anything else though I haven't extensively tested it).
XDA is having issues with photos for me, screenshot is here: http://postimage.org/image/yx6en8kif/

one questions: are only the icons removed or the hole status bar includig the black background?
the status bar doesn't burn in. the rest of the screen just loses brightness, whereas the status bar is black and doen't emit light. the oleds in this section and in the softbutton-section don't lose brightness because they aren't used that much. that's crappy, cause it is pretty good visible after just a couple of months of usage.

The whole status bar is gone, you can't even slide it down or anything. Also could you elaborate on the losing brightness part please?
Also if anyone else has ideas I'm willing to try them. Causing the SystemUI to crash it enters the correct full screen for a min or two, but that isn't permanent nor ideal.
especially the blue subpixels lose brightness the older they get. entering fullscreen mode, let's say watching a movie, shows, that the status bar and onscreen buttons area are more blue than the rest of the screen. this is because these areas weren't used that much.
samoled is very crappy when it comes to longevity. especially for power users it's really bullsh... i had it on every samsung samoled so far. only omnia 7 with windows phone doesn't show these "burned icons" because it's mostly running in full screen, except you touch the status bar, then the icons pop in.
Lol sorry to say but after reading this thread ... I'm just as confused as the box boy in your phones background... =\ not going to try this one...

I've seen a couple of requests like that one. Notifierpro apparently lets you (I've never tried it) and my curiosity as to how to actually remove the status bar lead me to this. (I'm not so worried about the burn in, and will leave my status bar there, I just know a couple of people seemed to want it gone to remove burn in)
Why not hide it with Nova/Apex launcher?

Because it will come back whenever you go into any other app. I don't care for this mod, but can see its use for some.

I might be able to make an app do it, to swap out the SystemUI.apk when toggled. idk if you can do that with the phone running though.

Probably isn't compatible with Jelly Belly V2.
I've only tested it on bigxie's v1
strange as it it is system.apk or system UI if I'm right , so must be the same on JB ROMs
Sorry if it has been mentioned before (I searched but didn't see).
I found when the notification bar is pulled down on G4 (see attached screen shot), you can only pull it up by swipe up, or tap on the red "clear".
On all other phones, if you simply tap any where else on the screen (out side notifications areas), the screen will pull up as well, not so on G4.
I found this very annoying, because after you dismissed a notification, you just want simple tap to let the notification bar go away, instead try to swipe it up again or accurately tap the clear button.
Does everyone experience the same? my configuration is H812 10C (Rogers). If it is so, why LG not fix such rudimentary bug? Any work around to make it the way how lollipop works on all other phones?
If it's my problem, how can I fix it?
Thanks
To add on my post above, I tested the galaxy S6 today with same 5.1.1 and it is no problem to tap on screen to auto pull up the notification bar. I don't understand why LG remove it on G4
Yeah i dislike their whole notification setup. I dont get why you would change something like that to be counter intuitive

Why don't you just hit the "Notification" button you already have on the soft key 'home' buttons? Just press the up arrow with the line under it to hide your notification bar when you're done. One tap and it's gone, just like you wanted, yes?
No matter which way you slice it, stock android is a much better simpler presentation of the notification panel
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
My g2 d802 with cloudy 3.3 rom 5.02 lollipop is the same. This should be lg specific. Otherwise the pull up down softkey in the navigation bar is freakin' awesome feature.
Or just press the back button
Never had a problem with that. Configure a "down notification bar" button. As soon as the notification bar is down the down arrow turns into a up arrow. Just tap it to bring notification bar up.
Send from outer space using telepathy
Yes. I had the down notification soft key there as a work around, but still find it is counter intuitive and un nature to tap at the bottom of the screen for things to change at top of screen, so it's not a good fix.
Thanks @lgnd for confirming even G2 is the same, then it's LG's problem, I don't know what's in their mind to do this!
I think the issue needing a fix should be how LG programmed the notification bar to work. One pull brings down notifications and quick settings? Because of this, notifications cannot be expended unless you then swipe up just the quick settings and try again. IMO, LG is also bad at coding stock android.
Not to sound like a prick, but is it that bad? You have to spend a millisecond longer to swipe your thumb as opposed to tapping.
Its not that bad. But it makes u wonder why they would think to change it with no benefit whatsoever.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
completely agree, bad UI is bad UI, there is no excuse for not to do something well (especially everyone one else does it well) just because there is a workaround
Wondering what is the official bug report for LG developers ?
I am happy to follow up with them on this as well as the WiFi no autoconnect issue.

I am trying to figure out a way to have the navigation bar rotate with the orientation of the screen on my brand new S4. I have looked everywhere and couldn't find any info. In portrait I like having the nav bar at the bottom of the screen but I would prefer in landscape mode to have the navigation bar on the right side of the screen. Does anyone know how to accomplish this because I am lost. Thank you in advance for your help.

Completely agree, probably my biggest issue with this tab. Looked for a bit after buying and never found anything. I just want it to do what my note 8 does.
If you figure it out let us know
Yup. I was super annoyed too. What I did was I switched to nova launcher and turned off the dock. Put my icons where I wanted them to be and ensured the gestures were correct for swipe up and down.
Works. I’m still trying to get things just right.

Unfortunately the app you suggested requires a level of accessibility services that forces you to remove encryption from the tablet, which I am not willing to allow. Thanks for the recommendation though.
I had a Google pixel C until I recently cracked the screen and I went out and bought this tablet because of the specs. However one thing that bugs me is when the screen rotates while using Nova Launcher my icon dock stays on the right of the screen instead of switching to the bottom of the screen to match the orientation. Am I missing something here? I know the o p was referencing the navigation bar but I have a similar issue with the icon dock in Nova Launcher.

When I first bought my Tab S4 I was annoyed when I found that the dock does not show at the bottom when the screen is in landscape mode. Instead it stays on the side. I finally found a post that solved this problem for me.
Your issue seems to be the reverse, so maybe the reverse of the solution I tried would work for you which is reducing the screen zoom in the Display settings in the main Settings page.
Good luck!
Just picked up a Galaxy Z Fold 3 for a decent price!
Is there a way to keep the Nav Bar always on as with certain apps it drives me crazy when is disappears as when I swipe up to view the Nav Bar it doesn't always show up or clicks something else in the app etc! I would prefer it to always be on. Thanks

There certainly is. Search for navigation bar in the settings.
I never use gestures because they are misinterpreted by apps way too often. We have oodles of screen real estate on this bad boy, too.
Edit: using Good Lock (from the Samsung store) you can seriously customise that navigation bar as well.

Sorry I know that. I already have the Nav Bar on. But what I'm hoping for is to leave it on so when an app like Amazon music is open it doesn't go into full screen so what I'm hoping for is to keep Nav Bar always there. Hope fully

Also looking for a solution to this. There are no app settings that force the navigation bar to be always on, and some apps could greatly benefit from it.
I've been looking for a solution for one year, I finally found this blog post https://mobilepains.com/how-to-remove-full-screen-mode-on-android/ that recommended installing a third-party Navigation bar app. That did the job.
