This is kind of hard to explain but whenever I use my phone, no matter what app is open, or when I'm on the homescreen, some apps kind of show transparently on my display like it almost looks like the current app being used is translucent that I can see the other app? I can't really explain this properly. Screenshots don't show what I'm talking about.
It shows up at the very sides and top portion of the screen. It also shows when I bring down my notification shade. The grey part at the top which is supposed to be completely grey, still shows the battery icon, time, notification icons, signals, Wi-Fi indicator, etc. but very translucent. As if the grey quick toggles thing is translucent.
Again, screenshots dont capture the thingy. So I'm sure it's an issue and not intentional by Motorola.
It's screen burn issue. It has been discussed numerous times check through the forum for more help.

Install this, set on 5% black and after a while the burn images are gone. (keep the app on all the time, the one that I linked to is the one with less battery usage, from the 4 I tested)

As mentioned above by @Gero71 , use the app or visit the service center and ask them for a display replacement. That would be a permanent fix hopefully. :good:

I've seen some people complaining about the same issue after they've replaced their screens. It will still occur no matter what.
And, the app you're making me install, is just a screen filter. I use it all the time. Lowering the brightness doesn't fix the screen burn. It just makes it less prominent. But it is still there.

I'd like to prevent my notifications and program "badges" (can't think of the proper word!) From stacking up in my notification bar at the top of the screen.
It happens when i have a lot of icons there already, ie wifi, alarm etc. Despite there being plenty of room in the middle of the bar, my notifications all stack into one icon on the extreme left hand side with the number of different programs/notifications shown as a number.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour and force android to use all the available space on the notification bar?
I'm running Ion r2 on my Dream, although my phone has always done this, with the stock rom and JF 1.5 as well.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
Sure, keep the number of notifications low and they won't stack. They stack when you run out of space on the bar. I know you think that there's lots of space, but if you unstack them, rest assured that there are definitely too many to fit in the space available.

When the phone is in portrait mode it stacks when there are more than 2 items on the left hand side - even though there is space for more items. When in landscape, it shows all the notifications/app icons individually.
Very annoying, since the home screen will only display in portrait mode and wont auto rotate when the phone is turned.
Im convinced there must be something i can do to fix this issue!

I was talking about portrait mode. I'm pretty sure there's a fix since I do not have this problem. However, my home screen does rotate though, since I have dxTop.
Do you happen to have Quick Calendar installed? Even though Quick Calendar did not display a little icon on the top for each item in the list and only say in my "ongoing" area on the bar, when I removed it the stacking you talk about went away! It was driving me crazy too, but it seems like either Quick Calendar or the OS sees each entry, even though it doesn't have an icon and counts them.
Not sure if it will help you, but my phone has been working properly after I disabled Quick Calendar. It's a shame, I like the app. :-/

Genius! Removing Quick Calendar solved the problem - thanks!
I've put a link to this thread at the devs website - perhaps when he has solved the issue he could let us know, so we can go back to using his otherwise useful app.
Never had this type of problem, only thing is that my colors blend together because of the custom theme I am using >.<
Ok, I confirmed with the developer this morning, it is QuickCal, though I guess any other app that hides icons would also have this problem as it is a restriction in the os. Jim (the developer) works for google and plans to petition his employer to make some changes to the way the notify bar works. The os allows the developer to 'hide' notification icons, but they still take up an invisible space.
We should see an update in the next couple of days to make a nicer widget with more info and smaller font size, so this may satisfy me if the widget is decent.

Hi- this screen never appeared before and now it does -.- tried wiping factory resetting and this image wont go away from my homescreen. Idk what happened please help looked everywhere of how to remove this but no one has had this issue. This never appeared on stock until after i unlocked my bootloader and installed cm. Tried to use the repair assistant and its still there.
edit: idk why it does not show in my screenshots. here are some photos taken from my iphone... hard to show but there is a white line that is in the background of my homescreen. Shows an sms icon slightly transparent. Annoying **** to look at when I take pics on snapchat. As you can in google playstore and the snapchat photo a SMS icon appears behind the mic in play store and under the switch to facecam icon in snapchat. Does anyone know a fix??
I still have no idea what you are talking about.

lol. ok before on my screen it will be normal fine no graphical errors no visual glitches. pictures wont show it for some reason but if you had my phone in my hand it would show up as SMS icon at the top of my screen like right below the navi bar. Shows up in camera and on my snapchat. Never happened till now. Idk if my screen got messed up or if its the constant switching of roms etc that gave me that glitch. its like a white line that separates the navibar and the rest of the screen at the bottom shows a menu bar on the left corner and some icons. its very transparent under the homescreen display like if the stock rom overlapped
like it shows a small phone screen is under the home screen. in the background- get me?
It's screen burn in. It happens with amoled screens if they are left on a static image too long. You can try some burn in fix tools in the play store. That's why you don't see it in your screen shots it's a hardware problem.

Yes this is driving me nuts as well....would love to see the battery percentage on second screen and not just the battery icon.
I agree. Wish there was a way to display %

I found a work around of sorts for this. It's not perfect but, it works decent. You'll need to get the free app called "Battery Mix" from the Google Play Store.
After install, go into the app settings (icon style wheel (top right)->settings button will appear underneath). The very first setting at the top will be for the Notification Icon. It will say: "Remaining battery icon displayed in the status bar". Make sure this is checked. Then choose an icon style to appear in the status bar if you haven't already. I prefer the Round Rectangle one, personally.
Keep in mind, if you have a lot of uncleard notifications, it may not show in the second screen until you do so.
This app also has a very nice battery alarm feature that allows the app to notify you by notification and sound (even vibration and your phone LEDs) when your phone reaches or drops to certain charge level percentages. This is very handy to remind you to either plug in the charger, or unplug to prevent overcharging. All the best! LGman
One would think that after 8 years in the wild, Android would allow you to have JUST the battery percentage on the status bar. We can't even hide the stock icon without the help of an app or root. Sad really.

And it's not as if they can't, Samsung proved that with their Note 7 where an update changed the battery icon to green
Persistent notification icon + a tasker task that'll only keep the notification active during screen lock will work. It'll take approximately 13 hours to get it to work properly and not bug out, but once you go through that arduous process for a negligible improvement you'll feel satisfied.
But seriously - this is the only way I can see you getting it done. I'm annoyed that the goddamned STOCK clock app won't show a timer on the 2nd screen, which is such an oversight it kills me.
Well, you could just install nova launcher and hide notifications bar and ta daaaa. Time, signal, and battery w/ percentage in 2nd screen. Your welcome. Lol.

Doesn't work for me. My second screen shows signal, time, and battery icon. And now I can't control my second window, ta daaaa.
i've been trying to find a way to do this as well. glad to see i'm not alone. i thought maybe an xposed module would do it..
It isn't perfect, but I did make a Tasker flasher for the 2nd screen that displays the current battery % every 10 seconds. Instructions on how to get it into Tasker are in the first post (the instructions are for a different ticker, but they apply to all of them).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69401641
In that topic, I also have a new text message (done) and a missed call (possibly WIP) flasher too.

I'm confused, I can always get battery percentage to appear on the status bar of all my android phones. It's just unchecked in battery settings.
This thread was about putting it on the second screen which I don't believe is more than 2 years (still plenty of time though).
The second screen is useless to me. They should make it E-Ink or OLED, saves battery.
I rather have a notification light. Unless i'm using it wrong?

You missed the keywords "just the percentage" as in.. hide the battery icon and only have percentage showing... Without the use of an app or root. And it was a generalized statement pertaining to either the main screen or the second.

Yeah. Your right. That's why I disabled it.
Second screen was a brilliant idea. But they came so short on modifications.
Does anyone know how to get the weather to show in the second screen on the V20? A friend has the V10, and they get a nice little icon of the current weather to the left of the time and date. I want this on my V20, but there's no discussion on this on the internet anywhere. Having the temperature might be nice also, but I'll settle for just the icon.
I've attached a promo image of the V10 showing exactly what I'm talking about.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Attachment didn't work. Link to replace attachment failed too! Ugh. Please try this link: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/darksoulseed/LG-V10-Second-Screen-cameras_zpsgrkowsyh.jpg See to the left of the date "Thu 1" there is a sun icon. This is what I am talking about.
When is this weather displayed?
When screen is off and the time and date is displayed in the second screen.
Or are you mistaking it for the pull down notification bar?
That would be nice to have temperature in second screen...

Correction to a previous comment.......
You can get an icon or the temperature to show on the second screen.
Install and run a weather app that will follow weather in status bar.
Basically, the app will create a icon and always on notification in the notification bar. So than when the phone is off you will still get the icon or temperature showing in the second screen left of the time and date.
I have weather bug installed and just tried it. Weather bug displays the temperature. Other weather apps may display a weather icon.
Sorry for not replying sooner, for some reason I was not getting notifications of replies like I normally do.
Also, sorry my attachment and follow up link did not work. I can see how that would lead to some miscommunication. I have fixed it now. This is the right link: http://s131.photobucket.com/user/da...10-Second-Screen-cameras_zpsgrkowsyh.jpg.html This is a promo image of the LG V10. The second screen is "sliced out" of the phone to show off what it can do. The second "slice out" shows four icons on the far left, then a gap, then the weather icon, then the date and time (Thu 1 09:38PM). This is EXACTLY what i want to see on my LG V20. Specifically when the main screen is off.
Anyways... No, I specifically meant the second screen, not the notification bar. I just tried Weather Bug, and it does indeed show the temperature in the notification bar when the main screen is ON. And when the main screen is OFF it shows in the second screen. This is nice, but I really want the weather icon. Anyone know a way to get this?
I feel like this is an oversight on LG's behalf. If it worked on the V10, why not make it work on the V20?
I remember that icon.
I went to LG web site. Its pretty clear that they removed the weather icon from the date and time while screen off.
You'll have to use a third party app with notification to come close to replicating what your looking for.
Weather underground will display the temperature on the second screen when it's off.

Very little consumption about 1% in comparison to screen's 25-30% (on a top of the list)!
Weather channel app also puts the temperature in the second screen when the main screen is off... But only the temp no other icon.
I personally use WeatherBZ. It's based on the MIUI weather widget, and runs pretty well. Keeps the temp in the second screen much like the aforementioned do, very nice little app, no noticeable battery drain on my end either.

Do you see Weather card in Google Now if you open it by holding Home button? Supposed to be the first one. And here's the point I always see notification from Google App like "53F in Berkeley" as a pulldown notification BUT only if weather changes (i.e. by more than 5F or storm comes in suddenly) I get extra notification which appears on a second screen while main screen is off!
Sidenote: This icon on a second screen might be a cute one but not very informative! You can see if it's sunny, cloudy or rainy from your window, right? I'd better know how cold or hot it is outdoors at the moment and folks listed several nice options above...

I just have updated the new software today. The good news is that we can hide the navigation bar. The bad news is we only have 7 colors for the navigation bar to choose from, and there is no dark color. I use to have the black navigation bar so I found this update terrible
Is anyone share the same opinion??
This is probably to stop people from using a black background which will cause uneven wear of the display.

Black nav bar will result in uneven screen wear. I didn't say cost, I said screen wear.

This app does bring back the black bar but it keeps the phone awake. So the lock screen doesn't time out in the normal way. It times out after the same amount of time you set the system time out to. This has caused major battery drain when it turns on in my pocket from the virtual home button being so easy to push (even at the least sensitive setting) has anyone else found an alternative app that solves the problem in the same way but doesn't keep the phone from sleeping?
