pull status bar down on lockscreen - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if I'm wrong here, I couldn't to find a solution online so here I am. It's my first android phone, just got it few hours ago and I noticed this:
when my phone is locked (knock code) and I want to pull down the status bar (where I can disable/enable wifi, adjust volume etc.) it's not working, I have to unlock my phone first
I know it's only working if I have "Swipe" as my security setting, but there must be some kind of workaround, right?
I don't want to have to unlock my screen just to change volume/brightness or disable/enable wifi/data/bluetooth...
Oh and I don't really know about that "rooting" stuff and I don't know if I want to do that, I don't want to kill my phone the first day I got it

Help on enquiries with settings on notification bar

Hi guys,
At first, when I bought Galaxy Nexus, it was on 4.0.2. I cannot access settings through the notification panel when using slide lock unless I slide open and I will see the settings menu.
However, now when I patch to 4.0.4, I did not try out did the patch changes the ui. Now, I can access settings through the notification panel without even slide open.
Is this normal? Does anyone experiencing this? Please advise.
Thanks.
Being able to slide down the notification bar and enter settings without unlocking is normal. Unless of course you have a PIN or pattern enabled, then you can't do anything without first entering the PIN or pattern.

Thanks. But at first, when I bought the phone, I can drag down the notification bar, but I cannot access settings straight without sliding to unlock. However, now, I can access settings straight, when I click the settings shortcut, I can hear the unlock sound and den straight to settings. Please advise.

[Q] Notif Bar/Lock Screen Bug?

When my phone is unlocked and I access any entry in the notification pulldown screen (e.g., weather, email, USB connected......anything), I am taken to the lock screen and required to re-input my unlock pattern (or facial recognition). Since the phone is obviously unlocked when I tap on notification area, this seems like it may be a bug. Why return to the lock screen when the phone is already unlocked?
Is anybody else experiencing this behavior?

Mine did something like that for a little while....i'd just installed golocker but didn't have it set as the correct default I think.
Thanks for your response, Rocket_Science, but since I do not use the GO Launcher EX, I don't think the GO Locker will work on my phone. And I have no desire to install the GO Launcher. Still looking for a fix . . . .
I am going to bump this back up in the hope that some kind soul (who uses a password or gesture protected lock screen) will test their OG and let me know if they experience similar behavior: with your phone unlocked, access the notification pull down and tap on any item (weather, email, etc.). Are you taken to the item or do you return to the lock screen? I always get take to the lock screen and need to re-input my password to get access to the device.
Many thanks.

This seems to be a known issue with Android 4.x when using an application that disables the lock screen for you. I use Llama, and I have it disable the lock screen automatically after it successfully connects to my home wifi. If I click on anything in the Notification area, the lock screen will appear and come up every time thereafter. As long as I don't click on any Notifications, it will not re-lock itself.
This happened to me on my HTC Evo 3D as well, so I thought it was a bug with Llama, but I saw the same issue mentioned with another application that performs a similar action.
This is probably something that would have to be reported to Google.

[Q] Lockscreen shortcuts seem to be missing...

Alright, so I was setting up my ls990 and during the setup of everything (apps/widgets/screens/you know) I managed, or perhaps my phone managed, to simply stop displaying lock screen shortcuts. I know what you may be thinking, no, there are no passwords, knock codes, pins, locks, mods, extras, or anything that *could* cause this.
It's a simple swipe to unlock, that's it, there are shortcuts 'set' in the lock screen settings as you'd expect, but no matter what fiddling, swiping, or press-and-holding I try will bring them back. Every last combination of settings and lock screen fidgeting and 'oops I deleted the default circle lock screen widget thingy but found out how to bring it back and also learned how to set the default lock screen page that will show when I turn the screen on'-ing will make them show again... So after on and off and mostly on playing around with it over the last 10 hours or so, and seeing how it is now 5 am where I live, and certainly the tunnel vision has set in or I'm just plain ol' dumb and/or incapable of swiping my own buttons, I'd figure that somewhere in the population of LG g3 owning & xda browsing intelligental(wo)mens there could be somebody to set my plain ol' dumb button pushing straight.
Any ideas?
Posting on the chrome browser from my nifty ls990 via my Wi-Fi connection, tanks.
Well anything? Need smart people please, I'll consider this a bump.
Do you see the Emergency Call box at the bottom? I just had that same issue, and it appeared to be triggered by a lack of signal or going into roaming mode. Setting the device into Airplane Mode brought the shortcuts back for me. Here's exactly what I did:
1. Set the device into Airplane Mode (I used the shortcut from the notification shade).
2. Lock the device.
3. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen. Verified shortcuts were there.
4. Shut off Airplane Mode (once again, used shortcut).
Let me know if that works...

Is It Possible To Lock Pull Down Notification Bar

While my pixel is locked, I can pull down the notification bar and access my phone settings (wifi, data, Bluetooth, hotspot, etc.).
Is there a way to disable access to those settings on the lock screen? I don't want those settings accessible until my phone is unlocked.

Did you start another thread with the same title? I can't seem to find it now. But nonetheless, I can't figure it out either. I've seen posts about using the systemUI tweaks but that doesn't seem to work. I kind of believe it to be a security problem since you can disable wifi, data, bt etc. And I really don't want to know how to do it with a custom rom since I'd never run one on this device since my bl is locked.
Bump on this. Is it possible to disable the navigation dropdown on the lockscreen that allows access to all your settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@facted
system allows to access some settings
anyway you can use a lock screen app
I searched and found this and I am using it myself now
Go to app setting and find disable status bar > turn it on and Done!
ZUI Locker-Elegant Lock Screen

Sorry to say but this app (ZUI locker) is crap. No finger unlock, thats for starters... I dont even want to get into the other things this program lacks of.
there's a xposed module that can fix this however xposed isn't stable on Oreo yet...

maybe it can be adapted for magisk.

Oreo Status Bar Notifications

I have the Note 8 on Verizon. Last week I received a software update to Oreo. Shows on phone as N950USQU3CRC2.
Excuse my terminology if I call something the wrong thing. I will attempt to be as detailed as possible.
I have several apps that put information into the status bar. This is what I call the bar at the top of the phone with the time and battery indicator, etc. I do not have a screen stand by, or lock or anything else. I push the button on the right to cut the screen on and off. All power saving features that I am aware of have been disabled.
Since the software update, some of information that used to stay permanently (persistent notification?) in the status bar would seem to be missing. When I pull down on the status bar to see all the notifications, I see the missing information, but now it seems to be minimized (compacted?). It has down arrows that I have to press to expand the information, then I actually have to open the app to get the information to go back to the status bar. After a short time the notifications disappear from the status bar again and I have to slide it down, expand with the arrow, open the app, etc. over and over.
It is very frustrating to have to do this all day long. Am I missing something? Is there a way to turn this minimization (compacting?) off so that all status bar info shows in the status bar all the time?
Hi I had this problem with one of my apps on Oreo. Go to Settings...Display....Status Bar. Make sure where it says show only 3 recent notifications is turned off. That should should hopefully help
Lrivera76, thanks for your reply. I checked where you referenced and it is turned off already. Interestingly enough, since about noon today, the three notifications I have been fighting with for the past few days have been staying on the status bar. The others that I do not care so much about are still staying minimized or compacted and I have to slide the notifications down to see them, but I do not really care if I see them or not. I began to wonder if the OS had some way of learning that I wanted these 3 left at the top because I kept reopening them over and over? I don't know. I wish there was an obvious way to just turn the minimizing thing off. We can already turn off a notification if we do not want it. What would be the purpose of leaving it on, but not see it. I don't get it.

I use the Navbar app and now with Oreo it stays on my pull-down menu as well. That didn't happen on Nouget. If you haven't tried, clear your cache partition and restart your phone. I was at the point where I was going to do a factory reset due to my battery not lasting the way it did but basically checking all my settings, notifications, displays, etc turning off things that where on when they weren't before saved me from having to do it. Give it a couple of days for the OS to settle if not you can do a factory reset to see if it gets rid of any issues.
