One of my coworkers showed me the Verizon Gnex he had gotten the day before. I scrolled through the homescreens, went into the app drawer and scrolled through it, went back to the homescreen and pulled down the notification bar and swiped away the notifications one by one, said "Cool", and handed it back. A minute later he showed me his phone and it had no icons on any of the homescreens OR in the app drawer. So I rebooted the phone for him and handed it back. When it came up he said they were all back, but after a minute they disappeared again. You could still scroll through all the homescreens (evidenced by the aspect of the wallpaper changing) and enter the app drawer, but there were no icons anywhere.
I did not have time to look into it at the time since this was at a luncheon, and he left after lunch, but afterwards I searched the net to see if anyone else had a similar problem and only found a reference to an SGSII missing all the homescreen icons which was solved by doing a battery pull. I am not sure if he had already gotten the OTA update.
Anyone else seen this?
Anyone notice that sometimes it doesn't show AT&T on left corner of taskbar? It always shows on lock screen but sometimes on home screen its not there. Also sometimes when the phone reconnects to wifi and pops the notification of that it makes the carrier name go away. It comes back with a tap of the taskbar so not a problem. I was just curious if anyone else was seeing this.:laugh:
nevermind with the lockscreen
Anyone else have this problem with the icon in the status bar of the talkback icon showing up in settings saying that it is on?
I check the settings and it is definitely off but the icon remains.
I've restarted the device and reset the icon by turning it on and back off, but eventually the icon finds itself back on randomly.
It's pissing me off.

Same problem here . Usually happens after a restart. Only way I get rid of it is by enabling it and disabling it again (though operating in Talkback mode is a bit of a work and takes a bit of understanding of how to operate...like using using two fingers to swipe the screen and double tap instead of a single tap to select an option. Hence I would not recommend my way of getting rid of the icon, unless you know what you are doing ).
Samsung should really come up with a fix of this annoying bug.
Happen to me as well until I uninstall all apps that use this method to push notifications.
I.e. go launcher notification plugin

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

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 just noticed while in call that the call Timer that's usually in the status bar next to the clock covering up notifications has gone! I've now got a floating button that you can expand as seen in the screen shot, never had this before. I had a notification saying the phone was displaying over the top of apps and allowed me to toggle it off, I did this but the clock timer never reappeared back in the status bar (maybe because I was still in the call)
I prefer it this way, I have seen other post complaining about the call Timer covering up notifications. Google must be listening.
Fyi, I'm in the Beta programme for the phone app.
Anybody else notice this?
Edit: rebooted my phone and made another call the timer is back... I'm confused now...
