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.

I installed HTCustom primarily to remove the SMS notification, but I've found it's broken other things. The title bar of the home screen can no longer display the battery information. When I tell it to show the battery information, I just get a blank section of the bar that cuts off half the reception logo, and completely hides the volume icon.
Uninstalling doesn't resolve the issue.
I can set it to display the time or date, and it seems to work, but that's useless, because I already have that information on the screen. The battery info is much more important.
Could any tell me what I need to do to either completely remove the application and remove any changes it made, or at least how to get my battery to display on the title bar correctly?
I'm running Black 4.0, and I don't really want to have to just reflash my PDA to fix this problem.
Kinda annoyed :/
Thanks for any help in advance

Is there a reason why you didn't post in the 'HTCustom Thread'?
Cause I didn't see it
Nevermind, I had an older version installed. Seems to be working okay now
Is there any chance notifications could show on a TF3D tab? It's so annoying to have to hit the top status bar, and then go through the system status screen when you miss the on screen notification, especially if you have an alarm go off in the middle of the night! It's a difficult procedure when you're really still asleep.
Of course if you have another solution that I've missed, I would like to hear it.
I had the exact question and it is truly annoying!
Here is the answer I found in another thread: Click on start->settings->system->touchflo and then just simply untick show system status window.
Best regards

Yeah at first it never came, but after a hardreset it comes automatically!
Tried searching for this but maybe i wasn't wording it right, but i flashed a custom ROM and now i notice every once and awhile ill see an "eye" icon pop up in my status bar just to the left of the signal bars, just for a second. Anyone know what this is? Thanks.
Smart Stay. It uses camera to quickly scan for your face to keep the display on.
Doesn't work very well in dim rooms.
Ahhhh...that what that is, and now that you mention it, i remember checking that on. Thank you, your thanks button has been touched by me :good:
Hello! Just got the unlock version a couple days ago and I am using lightning launcher; it is awesome. My issue is with call and text notifications, how do I make the fire phone display that I have a new call/text or missed a call on the status bar. This is really frustrating, hope someone can help me.
I don't think this is possible without replacing the systemui file. The only other option would be to use omega status bar, or super status bar, which are basically status bar overlays.
So I did install omega status bar but it still wont show call or text notifications in the status bar. Can you tell me how to set it up? Even the app icon itself is not even showing that I have recieved a call or text.
I think you will benefit from reading the tips and tricks thread that's created. Member jondecker76 and myself branch out on a lot of helpful tips to use this as a daily device.

Problem - Notifications - The notification bar doesn't keep a log of icons of notifications. For example, if I get a KIK message it drops down, previews it, and vanished. Unless I open up the notification panel there is nothing to remind you of this. This bothers me as I often don't review them straight away and forget it even happened.
Solution- Notifications - I've toggled all the options regarding notifications in the settings. My original complaint still exists. This was a HUGE set back for me with this device. Luckily, with a lot of trial and error, I found an app that works well for me. It's call NotifierPro Free. I configured it so a bar drops down and stays under the status bar. I also configured it so these notifications remain until I swipe them away. This has been a HUGE help in allowing me to adapt to this device.

Running into the same issue, have you found a work around? I know this thread is old, hopefully the original poster will reply or someone else.
so, i dont think this happened with stock sept security update, but with the novemember update i noticed that the screensaver "colors" shows the nav bar at the bottom of the screen once it activates.. noticed this also happens on the "photos" screensaver..
does anyone else notice this or is it just me?

then, after a few seconds.. the task switch icon diappears, but the rest of the nav bar still shows..
http://imghost.io/image/pY6xO
to add insult to injury, the navbar wasnt even being shown before the screensaver kicks in, and its kind of pointless for a screensaver to popup, and show a static navbar overtop of it, defeats the whole purpose of the screensaver.

I'm still on September update (original) and same behavior persists. Google is just now learning about screen burn so I imagine it's going to take some time before they get to all places they need to fix this.

Thanks for checking Sept update.. I could have sworn the nav bar went away, oh well.. I'm sure it will be fixed sooner or later, and there are always aftermarket screensavers
