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.

Unfortunatly there is no forseen solution to this problem. I experience it as well. I think the best we can hope for are new phones with higher resolutions.

This isn't right. There is definitely space for 4 more icons, yet it stacks with just 2.

I'm on Ionr2 and I have 4 icons (email, Toggle Settings, Twidroid, USB) on the left side before the stacking starts. I'm not sure if it's gone up to 5 or not.

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.

Well, I have a weird problem I have never seen before. My notification bar area has lost touchability. I know, this sounds weird. In other terms, I have lost the touch function of the top ~1 cm of the screen.
I have tried wiping everything possible, changing roms, kernels, recoverys; nothing helps. I have officially given up on making the top bar work. Oh and I might note that I am out of warranty and Sprint will not help.
So now, here comes my question: Is there any app that lets me perform a gesture while inside any app to open my notification bar? Something similar to wave launcher but for opening the notification bar.
If you are on CM7, you can use the Tablet Tweaks under Cyanogenmod Settings to move the status bar to the bottom -- then you can swipe it from there.

So part of your screen failed...get it fixed... better than a workaround
Why are you out of warranty? They know you're rooted? You should have a 1-year manufacturer warranty from HTC.
Also, if you use 3rd party launchers such as ADW and LauncherPro, you can change your swype down gesture. For example, you can make a swype down on the homescreen open the notification drawer.

If you've taken it to Sprint & they've refused to fix it, try a different store. Unroot first, of course.
You could always flip the phone to landscape and pull it down from there. I hate auto-rotate, but that's just me.
Also, in slightly older versions of MIUI, the "recent apps" window was part of the notification area. I really liked being able to long-press the home button, then swipe left/right to get to notifications/toggles. It was especially handy in an app where the notification bar is automatically hidden. I believe the last build to include this was 1.4.8, everything since has a separate window for recent apps. If you like MIUI, you could try 1.4.8 or before.

To be clear, I am liking ICS a lot, and am happy to see where Android is progressing. Here are a few complaints, however:
-I can't believe they disabled the search capacity button from the home screen. If you remove the search bar, there's no way to search from the home screen. Still hate the fact that the top bar is unusable space.
-Limited items in folders. This is one area which I don't understand why they back-peddled. It's very iOS-like, and it's one of the worst things to copy. Max 16 apps in a folder now. My understanding was that it was unlimited before. This will require adjustment.
-The icons look childish. Wish Google would truly allow customization and let us change the icons like other launchers do.
-Still no ability to add custom shortcuts to the home screen (like ADW Launcher can). Unless I'm mistaken? How do I make a direct dial icon?
-Long pressing Home button for the app switcher feels slow and clunky. It takes a while for the list of apps to show up.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. Still getting the hang of it. Again, overall, I'm really enjoying ICS. The UI is so modern and sleek looking.
You can add direct dial shortcuts through the widget section dude

I'm loving ICS on the Nexus S, too. However, my battery life is atrocious since the upgrade today. I went from 100% to 4% in less than 6 hours. It wasn't that I was using it or playing with it that much, either. All the settings were similar to what they were on 2.3.6, e.g., low backlight, GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth off, push email on, account sync on. I was getting 12+ hours with up to 20% left on Gingerbread with these settings. According to the battery app, it looks like "Android OS" might be the culprit, as "keep awake" is listed as the highest-ranked battery usage over everything else, including screen, voice calls, cell standby, etc. I've read on other forums about a possible Android OS bug with the SGS II. I'm thinking it might be so with ICS on the NS. Anyone else have this issue? How do we report it to Google so we can get a bug fix?

icons are still customizable, as they are with any rom. The launcher my not let you do it as easily as other launcher aps from within android.. but you can still do it externally by editing the icon files from the flash able rom file.
One small issue I found: Lock sound never plays even when the option is checked. Besides that, I'm really liking ICS. I wish the default widgets were more customizable. (e.g., calendar widget is one row too long, GMail widget is one column too wide) As a person with a severe visual impairment, I find the "Larger" text option a nice touch.

This couldn't be a battery calibration issue with the upgrade could it? I'm experiencing the same at the minute. I seem to recall there is a way to clear the battery stats but I can't remember where I read it.

You can easily resize them by a long press on a widget without delete it, you will see the widget outline get blue with diamond which you can hold too resize.

Oh wow, thanks! By the way, I found my issue for the lock screen: it got switched to None. I guess I forgot to switch it back after looking for the Face Unlock feature.
Speaking if which, looking at other threads it seems this feature was dropped for the Nexus S due to poor front-facing camera resolution. Oh well.
PS: I wish the custom message you can put on the lockscreen was more customizable than one scrolling line.

One thing I noticed is it gets rather sluggish at times. UI is smooth but there are very bad lags. Noticeable with even just the a live wallpaper, you can see it stutters every ten seconds or so.
Also, some apps won't work, Viber for example. It installs but it doesn't work, it just won't start. Black screen.
Maybe I should wait until the official OTA comes available for me, in Italy, through Software Update, and see if things are better? I have an i9020T, though- isn't the update going to be the same exact file?
if your battery life is really bad try turning off NFC and see if that makes a difference. From the Alpha I managed to get about 25 hours (once..) but cannot remember what I changed to get that.
the two complains I have : auto brightness doesn't work as well as it used too.
and google talk signs me out after a while without telling me.
Face unlock didn't seem to make the cut on the Nexus S.
Posted this in the ICS link section... this seems like a better place for it.
Anyone seeing any issues with the completely stock ICS on the TMo version of the nexus S?
Issues I am seeing so far:
Delayed scrolling when I swipe in the web browser. Seems as if the browser is trying to determine if I meant to click a link or scroll and the delay for the OS to decide is MUCH longer than it was on GB. (Maybe that was intended but maybe they over compensated).
The browser exits (doesn't even force close), just exits on certain websites when trying to scroll.
I hear reports of it being "buttery smooth" and honestly mine feels like it is slower than GB.. maybe that is because of my perception that the scrolling is slower...
Curious to see if this is happening to anyone else...

Apparently you can download the apk from sammobile but it's not working for me... I get a parsing package error. I'm on 5.1.1 when I tried this so you probably need 6.0.1 for it to work. On sammobile, the post was towards s7/s7e users through...

Recently our devices that have not been intervened for modification have received the new version of Android 11 based on MiUI 12.2.1.0 (RJKMIXM) so they have added things such as also removed things and a few bugs, then I will leave a list of what that to my appreciation I managed to discover with this update and it would be great if they also share more things.
Additions and improvements:
- iOS style bar available for gestures (with option to remove in settings) without the need for the long-awaited Poco Launcher 3.0.
- Improved animations such as multitasking and when opening apps.
- Fixed pixelated screen on lock screen.
- New emojis. (LOL)
- From Poco's Launcher if you slide down the right side you lower the control center, to the left you lower the notification center, it is no longer necessary to do it from the status bar and clearly you have to have the new control center active and from Home do the gestures.
- By having the device horizontally, if you slide the new control center, now you can see it in a better way, that is, on the left side you will see the customizable quick accesses and the right side the fixed ones with wifi and data.
- Sound assistant in the sound and vibration section
- Beauty mode for video calls
Things they removed and certain bugs:
- I cannot access the last app from Home by pressing the multitasking button twice if you have it active
- They removed the notification priorities (high, normal, unimportant, etc.)
- They removed the button for the pop-up windows from multitasking as well as the one from the split screen (I think it was that) that was in the upper left corner
- Even if you have accelerated animations (x0.5), the new animations (such as multitasking and when entering apps) will still be at x1
- In certain sections they removed some vibrations
- In some notifications (it only happened to me on WhatsApp and Google messaging) when you get a single notification, it is misconfigured
- (bug) If you have dark mode, when accessing the section with the shutdown, restart, etc. buttons, the letters will be the only ones that will be white, the icons will be black (f for those with dark backgrounds)
- (bug) 50% brightness down is lower than it was before
PD: Sorry for my bad English

I know, I actually did the post there and it appeared here in some strange way.
Everything on the list is with the phone factory reset after updating.
how about floating windows? i can't do that as in previous V12.0.4.0.
ok. any of you that have received the update from updater app have force close from updater app after apply the update? After clearing data of that app, i got no more FC on the app but now i am unable to see changelog, its says "you don't have permission to access the update log", and trying to download last update manually says "Can’t download update, wait a minute or two"... it's really annoying!
I have received 12.2.1.0 (RJKMIXM) update and the rom is ok but the biggest issue i have is with gestures control. Now the the "go on home screen" and the "open recents" don't work at all, neither with poco launcher or nova launcher. It's a big bug for me and now i must use the buttons on the navigation bar.

this app will give you back gestures on all app screens.

maybe some of the XIAOMI bugs are the same as present at Google A11. See here: https://piunikaweb.com/2020/12/08/android-11-update-bugs-issues-problems-tracker/

Hi there. I got the new update with all the bugs that are already mentioned by other members in previous posts. The one that is bothering me the most and gives me a hard time is the messed up notifications. What I mean is that when I have more than one notifications, either from the same app (grouped ones) or from different apps, the senders' names and text gets confused with other apps' notification text or sender's name. I tried a factory reset, but unfortunately it didn't solve the bug. The action buttons are also misaligned and sometimes not fully visible, but that's already mentioned by other members. Does anyone have the same bug? Can you propose a workaround at least until a fix is released? Thank you!!

I am using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.le.miui10gestures and it's perfect. Problem solved.
because my phone was more and more unusable, i now use my Sam Note 9 for the next time.
Rollback and new installation on POCO F2 fails because verification problems during the process.
On the Note 9 with LineageOS 17 everything is alright. There i use "Full Screen gestures" (paid version)
I don't quite understand. Did they remove floating windows feature in the new update?
No. But the way to do differs a little bit.
On: -> developer option " freeform window" must be activated. Then a special tile will give " flying window". Start the app and press the tile...
Off: tap on flying app navbar and swipe up the app window.

Eventually I managed to disable bubble notifications for telegram. When you open the chat bubble, in the bottom left corner there is a "Manage" button. If you tap on that it brings you to a setting page where you can disable the toggle for bubble notifications.
Hello everyone, does it happen to you too that sometimes in the main screen they disappear (become invisible) and you have to restart the phone to solve? You know how I can do it. Help me!!

Hi,
I have updated my poco f2 pro to miui 12.2.6.0 but the Notification issue is not fixed (mixing all the notification, WhatsApp notifications are not grouped like in miui 11). But this update feels much smoother operations (miui 12.2.5.0 was little bit slower than miui 12.0.4.0) in the phone.
