Curious about issue on the P6 !

Hello all- I am in the market for a new mobile and the P6 is carried by my local carrier and played with it today and must say I love it.
My only very small gripe is with the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen, I am not crazy about it but it is a minor issue, anyway I have seen photos of the P6 and some have the navigation bar and some do not !
Is this perhaps a firmware option or is there some way to make it appear/disappear ?
Any information would be appreciated !!!

actually p6 has function to disappear the navi bar by pressing small down arrow located in the corner of navigation bar.You can make it reappear by swiping up from the bottom.

Oh I see. I didnt even realise that but if you choose to take away the nav bar how exactly do you go back a page or go back to the homescreen ?
Thanks for that hanna..... !!!

Cheers for your help hanna... I am in the process of selling my E975 and will use the money to get a white P6. The phone is a beauty and I like the fact that you can download themes ala MIUI, etc..

Depends on firmware
It depends on firmware, from about 107 (I think) that little icon is no longer on the navigation bar, I can also confirm this with Firmware version 111.
But if you check this thread and follow it, you can remove the bar at the bottom.

Multiview Help on 4.3

I could really use some help on this.. Tried 2 different 4.3 ROM's and it seems to be something within 4.3 I'm thinking. Anyway, When using Multiview and having both app's open at the same time, the notification bar hides. Is there anyway to prevent it from hiding? 4.1.2 doesn't have that problem and it's driving me insane trying to figure this out. If anybody has any ideas on what to try or knows the answer, please let me know.
Thanks all!

On mine, the status bar on top disappears when I have two apps running in multi-view.
However, if you move your finger downward at the top of the screen, the status line will appear.
Then you can open the status window completely with the usual downward swiping method.
I don't see any settings that lets you keep the status bar visible at all times while in multi-view.

Thanks. I'm looking for a way to keep it open while both apps are open. Is there maybe a build.prop entry I could try maybe?

So it looks like it goes straight into full screen mode when both apps are active. Is there a way to prevent full screen mode?

Status bar over any app in CM10.2?

I recently installed CM10.2 but I noticed the status bar can't be slided down like in the stock touchwiz rom, which I found very useful so you can check your battery and clock. Is there any way to activate this in CM??

Hello,
I have also installed the CM10.2 on my i9195. I do not encounter the same behavior.
When I slide done the bar, it work.... the behavior you might expect is:
- when you use ONE finger from the center of the top bar and you slide down, you are displayed the open notifications (you can swith to shortcut button [WIFI, Flight Mode, Sounds, Tethering (dis)activation buttons] clicking on the upper-right button).
- when you use ONE finger from the upper tight corner of the top bar and you slide down, you are displayed the shortcut buttons (you can swith to open notifications clicking on the upper-right button).
- when you use TWO fingers from the top bar, you directly go to the Shortcut buttons.
This will not help you solving your problem (sorry) but this can explain the new (misleading) behavior.
Best regards
Alex

Thanks I noticed that, but I mean when you are playing a game for example (which uses full screen) in stock ROM you could slide status bar down, but in CM you can't. So you have to press home to check. I don't know if I explain myself.

CM11 has this function.
Carbon ROM (CM 10.2) too, but it is currently not maintained.
On earlier Android versions I used this app.

[Q] Missing Status Bar after installing Google Now Launcher

So I have a unlocked Fire Phone, running 3.6.8 that came shipped.
I was going to follow the guide here to turn it into a normal Android phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/guide-make-fireos-looks-feel-normal-t2898921), but noted that I will not be able to since I have 3.6.8 (please correct me if I'm mistaken). I ended up following this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/fire-phone-how-to-install-google-play-t2977237) to get Google Play Store running nice and smoothly, and installed the Google Now Launcher since I can't stand FireOS.
However I noticed that after setting Google Now Launcher as the default launcher, the status bar up top is no longer visible, so I dont see information such as notifications, battery. time, and etc, unless I pull down the notification center.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so how were you able to correct it?

Try going into settings, display, hide status bar and make sure your status bar setting is set to on. Might be as simple as that

Ah that was it. Thank you!
Do you by any chance use any sort of on screen nav buttons? I've yet to find one that works well with the GNL.

Damn, I feel like an idiot. I've been running without the status bar for a month. I had no idea it was so simple. You made my day,

True immersive mod

Hello there,
With my GS8, I was able to hide status bar to enter in immersive mod.
With my GS20+, this option is not available anymore.
I try to enter into immersive mod with some ADB commands but a Black bar stay present during the navigation.
Is there any solution to fix it ?

something like this? But you need root.

The way I did it is with System UI Tuner from the Play Store and it works fine. For some reason, tge ADB commands for immersive mode get weird on newer Samsung devices and leave the black bar at the top of the screen but work just fine on other devices such as OnePlus and LG, but with System UI Tuner, you can enable immersive mode on Samsung devices just fine.
Here is a link to it in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
You will have to run ADB commands to enable permissions for it but it works great. I have used it successfully on the S9, S10, and now the S20. No root is required either.

I used that one on my S8 and actually still have the link to that page saved in an email I sent to myself. I had issues with it on my S10. I have been using System UI Tuner on my Samsung devices since the S10, although I did use it on one or two of the S9s I had because it was just faster.
I didn't have to use System UI Tuner on any of the OnePlus phones I had because the ADB commands worked fine. I use gestures on my phone so I don't need to hide the navigation bar since there is an option to hide it built into Android 10 when using gestures, I just had to hide the status bar.

System UI tuner still leaves a black bar on top on my S20 Ultra.
I think we need root for a true immerssive mode.

on devices with a punch hole this doesn't work. Like @Kiran-Kumar wrote it just turn's that area into a black bar.

You can "kill" the Status bar with the options offered on this thread, but the black bar still remains, except on the Home screen and maybe a couple of apps...

Well, with killing I meant a clean display without the black bar lmao. @chieco No I don't got root rights, but afaik this is achievable even without root. My guess is that the android version with one ui does not support immersive mode for the given display resolution. However, there should be a solution for this.

How did you get rid of the black bar on S20?
I tried immersive mode "full" and "status", and neither provided true immersive mode. The clock, network status and battery icon disappear, but launching any app still shows a black bar across the top. "Immersive mode" just removes text from the top, but the black bar remains.

@Mucky2
unfortunately you are wrong. It's sadly not possible to achieve Full Immersive Mode without root.. your guesses are wrong. There is a non-root option but that costs money and doesn't work for all apps and it has few other downsides to it. A friend of mine found the method I'm currently using, and it also works on my S20+ that is rooted.
@sublimaze
He didn't! he's talking crap. He is one of those people who's knowledge isn't updated and think those old method's still work. Since my S10 every time I opened a thread here or on reddit, there are always these people who pop in think they know it all but in reality they make claims that are untrue and can't be backed up by them. I asked him to show proof but nada! Because he can't! But he sounded so sure...
My friend is the only one who knows how. But he asked me not to share it. Maybe I can finally convince him to join xda and share his method with us.

Yes it is rooted. I would say one more reason to root that's how it goes folks if you want full control of your device you need to root it. Otherwise Sammy is going to dictate everything you can and can't do with it. Must feel good to pay upwards of 1000$ and not being able to get rid of the Statusbar. It was especially annoying on the S10 since the Statusbar was sooo huge due to the punch hole being big af. Atleast on the S20 line the punch hole shrank enough where the statusbar is at a normal hight.

Yeah, it was obvious [emoji16] .... this device is too expensive to root (for me) ..... still i can live nicely without full immersive mode [emoji106]
