HELP! My Notification bar has disappeared! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologize for being an idiot(kinda new to rooting), but My Notification Bar on GSII has disappeared. I was flashing the Greener systemUI thing on CWM. All seems fine till it rebooted. And then, it was gone. I factory reseted it and also deleted the rar file but the problem still persist. Anyone know how to fix it? Must i unroot the phone cause i can't seem to use USB Storage.

mine too! did you ever find a fix?

What happens when you press the menu button and select 'notification'?

[q] Liquid Smooth Problem

When I try to switch to "mount sd card" on the computer, I get this error. I believe I switched to the "themed" status bar, and I think that's the problem. I try to go back to the "Stock" status bar and pretty much the whole thing crashes for a bit, then reboots to the "themed" one.. so.. mm yeah. That, or the two are the same (but they aren't.. i've used both ).
I'm pretty much a total noob when it comes to phone stuff. Should I just wing it and wipe all my data?
The attached pic is the error I get when I hit "click this to change setting" for mount and stuff. then poof buh bye status bar
I get a systemui error when I try to change the status bar.
Thanks for anyone who helps!! <3

Not sure how your phone is set up, but almost sounds like your custom status bar programing is on your SD card...

Think of it this way... What programs do you still want access to when your phone is in usb mode? Personally, I have any programs related to phone use and settings manipulation on phone memory, all others on sd card memory. Like anything that is a customization or has root access, leave on your phone. Hell, I even transferred my personal ringtones to phone memory.
Go to settings/applications/manage/downloaded tab. Each app that you click can be swithed from being stored on phone or SD card memory there. Be sure your phone customizations are not.

Phone freezing when making calls

My wife has an S2 with stock ROM. It's unlocked, on a T-Mobile UK SIM. The phone is about 6 months old. There is a problem with the phone screen going blank and not responding to any button or screen presses when dialling a call. After 10-20 secs, sometimes longer, the phone starts responding again.
The problem has been around for a few months, but has got alot more frequent in the last few weeks.
The phone is running XWKI4, Kernel 2.6.35.7.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and whether there is a fix?
Save your data, do a full wipe, flash again using Odin.
You did UV?
This issue might be from how you UV. If you set the value to low, ur phone will not have enough power to run the tasks. So set value high on Set voltage tab might solve ur problem.
Just to confirm - this phone is completely out-of-the-box. It's not rooted, ROM'd, underclocked/overclocked or anything. I want it to stay that way as it's my wife's phone. I was just wondering if anyone else had these problems with a vanilla S2, and whether it may need to go back for a warranty repair?
Answer stays....
But you can try wiping using dial code first.
Save any pictures and videos on internal storage.
Re-flash what using ODIN? I didn't flash this phone in the first place. I don't want to put a custom ROM on this phone.
Who says custom ROM?
I try again, problem is you people ask but never do what told later...
Save you're picture/video
Using dialer dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe you're phone / factory reset.
If this don't help learn how to use Odin, get a stock ROM and flash using Odin.

Then which ROM should I flash? Also, if the ROM and kernel are the same as when it was purchased then why would re-flashing a ROM help?

So far you've suggested "flash again using Odin" and "try wiping using dial code first". It would really help if you could suggest something specific, and maybe leave out the cryptic comments?
How specific you want?
I even write the code which will do wiping for you.
And than I said if that fails learn how to use Odin to flash stock ROM.
Clear Cache and Data of Phone.apk in App Manager...

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry if I'm being dense, but I can't find and entry for the Phone apk in the app manager. There's "Phone Util" and "Dialer", but nothing else that looks like the phone app. Any ideas???
Are you using an alternative dialler? I had similar issues when I was using go dialler and go launcher. Uninstalled it and things were back to normal (for the most part). Check that first.
Step 2 easy way out is to reflash. You won't lose warranty etc if you do it right. Loads of tutorials available and check out samfirmware for the firmware you need to install.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Edit-have you also tried alternative diallers? Does the problem come up using them too?

, atifsh meant that you do a soft restart for your phone: no need to flash anything: just simple soft restart.

She is using the stock dialer. She hasn't tried an alternative dialer, mainly because we couldn't work out a way to change the phone shortcut on the Touchwiz dock menu. This doesn't prevent us from installing an alternative dialer of course, but it the dock can't be reconfigured she will always be launching the stock dialer by mistake!
Can anyone explain how to change the default dialer, and recommend a good alternative for the S2?
We did also try rebooting the phone - several times - but the problem remains.

You can change out any of the shortcuts in the dock.
Open the app drawer, hit menu, edit, drag the icon you want to replace off the dock and into the app drawer, then drag the icon you want to be in the dock from the app drawer into the dock.

Try Touchpal contacts / dialler. I really liked that one over go dialler or dw contacts. And then, as indicated replace in the dock.
But first you need to determine if the issue presents itself in other diallers as well.

[Q] Missing Message Icon on home screen !

Okay, no need to explain, just look at the attached pic
Normally we have a Caller, a Contacts, a Message, and a Applications on the bottom of the screen, but now the Message is missing, there are only 3 !

But u even don't have the icon in app drawer? (which u have open on pic)
If yes, hold the icon an drag and drop it in bottom to the other 3 icons.
(sorry if listening like for noobs but maybe misnderstood ur prob)
If the prob is really that u replace the file and then the icon nowhere is shown, then reflash rom (even without wipe), this will replace the system apps again and u should have the standard one back.
CHEERS
Open the app drawer, menu > edit, drag the messaging app to the bottom bar.
IT WORKS ! IM SUCH RETARD, THANKS ALL !

Yep, it works but now the Message icon is back in the bottom bar but it is dissapeared in the application icon's.
Anyone an idea?

In the TouchWiz launcher, it will only be either in the dock, or in the Applications. Not both. The dock remains visible when you have your app drawer open. Do you REALLY need it in both places?

cm7 sd soft buttons vanished

The home, back arrow, menu soft buttons vanished along bottom of screen. How do I get them back? I tried the show hide funtions under launcher functions but no joy. This is the default sd cm7 with the gray green android on home page. I am sure its an operator error. Thanks in advance
Are you sure the status bar did not force close? That would be my first thought.
If not, what launcher are you using? The default ADW?

I did get a force close on esfile manager just prior to that and. I did notice the bar was gone at that point. I powered off restarted, buttons reappeared. I think that might have been my first or second force closeinseveral months and yes it is ADW default. I would like to go to theCM9 with CM7 sd but I will wait a while.

Glad you got it figured out. The reboot usually does the trick for little did like that.
Also, if you're interested, you can run CM9 off a microSD card. Let me know if you are and I can find the link to directions.

[Q] AT&T Note - updated to JB - no reply / delete action from notification bar

As the title mentioned, Jelly Bean supposed to have a new feature such that you can act on the Notification bar, depending on the app.
For example, if you received a Gmail notification (new email), you can pull down to see the Notification bar and from there you can click "Reply" or "Delete".
On my AT&T Note with JB, if I pull down the notification bar, I can SEE the action button but BRIEFLY. Within 0.5 seconds, it disappear and I can't press those action buttons.
Is there a setting I can change to make this work?
That's only with 4.2.2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yes the feature is there in the 4.1.2 release. I'm looking for settings but don't see any anywhere. But it works fine for me. Have you performed a factory data reset since you updated? It's solved numerous problems by doing so.
There isn't an option with the stock messaging app. If you push aosp mms.apk to system/app change permissions and reboot you'll have that option. I used the mms.apk from cm10.1 rc2

I did a factory reset and even formatted the USB storage and SD card.
The action button IS SHOWN, but only for 0.5 seconds and it disappears.

This applies to ANY apps that have this capabilities, such as Gmail and Plume Twitter app.
That's weird man. It's working fine for me and I can't find a setting anywhere. Did you change anything like font, dpi, or something?

Same here. Stock, and rooted with no problems. I wish I could help ya better, but there's no settings I can find. Only thing I can suggest is try wiping dalvik cache and see if that helps. If not maybe factory resetting again. Otherwise I'm at a loss.
No problem man. I'll try to reset the phone later and see what happens. This is really just bizarre. ..
Well, turns out I DO have it.
Remember when I said it shows up for 0.5 seconds and disappear? I have to swipe down the notification item itself (not the notification bar) with 2-fingers and then it'll show up.
It seems that the notification pull down gets "full" (I don't have that many) and it hides the action items.
