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?

I just accidentally found another way to close the notifications menu.
Sorry if this is already known.
Usually to close the notification pull down, I flick it up or drag it up, but a few minutes ago I noticed that if I perform the same pull down motion again, notification will close.
That's all I got; so if even one person learned something new, then I'm happy.
Thanks, veritasaequita

I tried and got nothing. Pretty sure you were just swiping down and accidentally hitting the back button.

It's probably because he hit the status bar at the top. When the notification menu is pulled down you can tap the status bar and it will collapse back to normal.

Yep. If you tap bottom of pull down or status bar it will go back up. Has nothing to do with swiping.
If you use a alternative instead of touchwiz u can have custom methods to open then notification bar also. But everyone knows this one i believe

Yeah when I was using Launcher pro plus, I set the home button to open/close notifications (and to go to home screen when not on the home screen). Actually like it that way but I also like Touchwiz, wish I could get the same options with Touchwiz.

well your half correct...yes u can tap the bottom (which just makes it roll back open) "OR" you can swipe downward from the very top and it will instantly close. also it doesn't matter how far you swipe, its going to close regardless.

You don't gave to Swype down. Once you have the notification open a simple tap on the status bar will do the trick.

You can also use the back button to close the notification bar.
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
I searched but didn't see anything on this.
There is a blue pull tab thing on the left hand side of my screen. I want it gone, but can't find out how to get rid of it.

It allows you to access the multi-window feature of the NII, for accessing 2 apps at the same time.
To be fair its not a particularly well advertised feature and with little to no instruction a lot of people won't know what it is for.
But it is for split screen mode.
You can drag apps to the top of bottom part of the screen from that bar to run two apps side by side.
I wanted to start a separate thread so we didn't clog up the other thread. This thread is strictly for bugs/issues:
After updating through Kies to 4.1.2. The eyeball icon, which indicates that you are looking at the screen, will not shut off. It stays on all the time. Even after rebooting.
Anyone else seeing this or any other issues?
EDIT: I've attached a screen shot
After rebooting, I went into Settings > Display > Features and truned off Smart Rotation and Smart Stay. This gets ride of the eyeball icon but I'd like to have those enabled.
Looks like the icon always stays in the statusbar now. i noticed it will blink from light grey to white

For me the phone was very sluggish after the update/reboot. Took about 10 minutes to work itself out. Seems fine now except that I now have a problem that others previously complained about before the update. Opening up Gallery it takes close to a full minute for the albums to appear. Once they are there browsing images is fine and seems quite normal. Close Gallery and reopen right away and it's fine. Close it, wait 5 minutes and then reopen and it's like before, the top bar of the Gallery is there but the albums are blank for close to a full minute.

My phone was pretty sluggish too after the initial update. After a few minutes and a couple of reboots it was back to normal.
Haven't had any issues with the gallery though
Anyone having any issues with adding/removing apps from the multiwindow bar? Mine seems frozen. Don't have problems launching apps from the bar, but can't add or remove apps.
Has anyone figured out how to change the status bar to black? Its supposed to be in this update.

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.
