For some reason, suddenly my notification bar is disappearing and I have to swipe over it to see it again.
Also the home screen rotates if the phone lies on the table or if I rotate the phone? This was not happening before. I know rotation is activating for applications, but it never happened for the home screen?
I`m on a normal rooted KitKat 4.4.2

So you are on a complete stock ROM? Not a custom ROM? Do u have any Xposed mods, or any mods to speak of?
same thing happening on my note 4 stock
What is this mystery?

The following problem occurs only when i'm using non-sense ROM's.
The auto rotate feature is always on!
The lock screen, home screen, the phone screen etc etc always rotates. Even when I set it not to rotate on the home screen, it rotates!
The option for 0 degree, 90 degree all work fine. The sensors are also OK.
When i completely turn off the auto rotate it stops all right but it is not a solution as all apps like the gallery for instance also stops.
Currently I'm using BlackIce 1.25. This also occurs on Cyanogen, Oxygen (basically all Non-Sense roms)
MIUI and Sense dont seen to give me this issue.
Any ideas? Sorry if this has been posted before. If so please point me to the link before showering me with your blessings (read abuses)
Edit: I should tell you guys that i also have a problem regarding the phone call going to speaker phone automatically! Might be that the 2 of them are connected... any ideas please!
no one?? please... some one!!!

This is the way CM roms are made to work. Auto rotate is supposed to work as one setting across the whole system. Sense stops it from doing it in Sense apps.
I think I know what you mean, could you explain better to make sure it's also my issue?
I've had weirdness where I could tell cm that I want 0, 90, 180, and 270 to be available for screen rotation, while having auto rotation set to off.
The screen would rotate regardless of my selection, unless I unselected 90, 180 and 270...

so the setting in adw launcher of the home screen orientation is over-ridden by the cyanogen mod setting???
any way i can change this maybe? it gets kind of irritating when the lock screen and home screen rotate when i expect them not to.

found out what the problem was... my calls went to speaker automatically.. my auto rotate didnt work properly.. screen kept on lighting up after every few minutes... all hell broke loose...
Also, the earphones (stock) gave a kind of a current whenever in a call/playing music!!
Gave my phone a few days of rest.. then changed my usb cable... got one that doesn't move.. as in the slot is of a perfect size so that my port and the connectors dont move...
Problem solved.. my phone works like a brand new one! (well better coz it's rooted.. ) no issues whatsoever!
I did a quick search but didn't find anything on this. For whatever reason, whenever I switch apps from the drop down notification menu, it forces me to input my lock screen pattern, even when I have the lock screen toggled off. I have my settings set to auto lock after 1 min, but this happens whenever I switch apps, even before a minute has passed.
Is this a known issue? Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a fix?
Thanks.
Edit: I'm still on 4.02. It hasn't updated to .04 yet.
No one?
:T
Has this always been happening or did you install/flash something before it started happening?

I just got my GN yesterday, and it updated by itself to 4.02.
It's been happening ever since I turned on the lock screen. It goes away when the lock screen is turned off. But it's bizarre that it would ask for the lock pattern every time I switch apps from the notification drop down. It doesn't ask for the pattern if I were to switch apps with the App Switcher button.
Really perplexing...
Hate to keep bumping this, but this is just incredibly bizarre.
Can someone test on their GN if the same happens? Turn on a lock screen input, anyone will do. I happen to have the pattern lock. And try to switch between apps or alerts from the pull down notification menu (you can send yourself an email or something, or turn on the music player) and see if you are forced to put in your pattern/passcode/etc before you can switch over.
I have to put in my pattern to unlock the phone every single time I switch apps ONLY from the pull down menu. It's bizarre. If I switch apps from the App Menu, it doesn't do this.
I don't know what's going on. Is this a "feature" of ICS? Seems a bit overkill on security. Or do I actually have a faulty phone (but it seems software related?).
Any help would be great. If need be, I'll make a video to demonstrate what I'm talking about.
I had this problem on CyanogenMod. Change the lock screen to what you want, and then reboot. It should be fixed. If you don't do a reboot for some reason it gets confused.
Yes happens to me sometimes too on both 4.02 and 4.04 stock. I don't use a pattern lock but it just fades out and when I turn screen back on it's lockscreen.
Never had this problem. That is weird. I suggest flashing a stock image and see if it still happens. Make a nandroid first of course but throw it away and make a new nandroid if problem goes away.
bow chicka wow wow.

Yes, this solved it. Thank you! Oh, Ice Cream Sandwich.
I spoke too soon. It's back. I noticed when I toggle the lock screen off, the problem exists. But if I toggle the lock screen on, the problem goes away.
So it may be an issue with the widget itself. I'm using "No Lock" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en)
I'm gonna test other toggle widgets to see if it's app related.

So.. it's a third party app you're using and not the stock ics lockscreen..
It would've been wise if you told us that on the first post

Yes that would have been good info to have, but I am not running anything custom on my lock screen (though I am on CM) and had this same problem.
I had to reboot the phone after every time I changed the lock screen from anything to anything or I'd run into problems. When changing from no lock screen to a lock screen, I would lose notifications when waking the screen up if the notification was for the last app open.
For example, I was in the Messaging app and locked the screen, without going to the home screen first (so if I were to unlock the app would be right there). Then I received a text and notification worked. I pressed the button to wake the phone and the lock screen showed up (pattern unlock) and the notification for my new text message in the notification bar disappeared. But I hadn't even unlocked so I could get to the app yet...
I am having something weird happen that I never noticed before. Just completely reflashed it and it is still doing it. D850 (att) just FYI.
Basically the issue is this. If you leave certain apps running (phone, messaging, settings) and it locks...when you next unlock it, the status bar at the top has a white background ever so briefly before it goes to the color it is supposed to be. It seems timed along with the drawing of the nav bar at the bottom. I never noticed it before but it is kind of bugging me. I'm pretty sure this is a new thing.
Steps to reproduce:
Open the stock phone app.
Lock the phone
Unlock
Stare at the status bar.
Does it turn white before going to the color it is supposed to be?
Not every app does it. I was rooted and running tweaksbox before. I just reflashed and it still seems to be happening.
I certainly allow for the possibility that I just never noticed it before.

Same here but not if I just use the knock code to unlock. If I use the power button to go to the lock screen and then use the knock code it happens. 855 btw
Never noticed that, but yep flashes white from locked. Damn how can I unsee that
Mine doesn't flash any color. It just stays the same.
Mine did the same thing, ive hidden the notification bar and it stopped.
I have Verizon and it does it also.

How did you do this? What does this do exactly. Keep icons from showing at the top? Do you still have the notifications panel? (Pull down shade from the top)
Mine does this too (10h rooted with g3 tweaksbox); ive noticed it does it whilst the 'battery circle + value' is still loading, so i take it its the amount of time the cpu needs to properly render it.
It's under a second so it doesn't bug me.

Yes just hide the icons up top, on screen options you can do it

Same, but have noticed it before on other apps.

Mine does this aswell and it keeps getting more freqent as i open apps. Anyone found a solution yet?
Yep mine too
Mine does it as well on sprint. I've noticed it do it with the nav bar as well in the past.

Hi gents, I think I found solution, it bugged me before and I had circle case so when I turned off use circle case in settings it stopped.. I think that's it.. Cheers!
I've tried all the 5.1 ROMs and seem to have the same issue with every one. I set up the phone, make backups etc and all works smoothly.
Then for no reason I'm getting random reboot. When the phone wakes there is no lock screen, just my notification bar and a black screen. Pulldown shows notifications, buttons etc. Power button shows reboot menu etc but the rest of the screen is black with no function.
I tried to narrow it down by trying different agni settings, running stock kernels, now trying different launcher as its always been on Nova.
There is no pattern to when it will go so getting a logcat isn't easy.
Any help or pointers, or anyone else had the same issue and fixed it.

My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.
