Z2 Status bar not pulling down

kelly1207 — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:25:42 GMT

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help.

As the subject says - the status/notification bar (or whatever its called) is not 'pulling down'. I've switched phone off and on a few times. Pressed the little red button next to sim card slot....nothing is working.

Any ideas/solutions appreciated.

Many thanks

Thats not worked 😞

Really don't know what else to try. I haven't installed any apps lately that might have affected it. Can't seem to find any solutions through Google.

Ok..that didn't work. But I just went back to the browser to tell you it didn't work and it wouldn't do anything when I clicked on the subject to get into this thread. I tapped about 5 times continuously and my pull down screen appeared! That was by tapping about 2 inches from bottom of screen. I'm now noticing just by typing this, that the touch screen isn't as sensitive...missing letters etc.

I've also realised that the phone isn't deleting photos that I 'delete'. I thought I was going mad, seeing photos still in the album that I thought I'd deleted. I emptied the deleted photos from the 'bin', and then i go back to the photo album and they're still there. Think this phone needs a trip back to the shop.

It is the best you can do, I suspect a hardware issue.

I bought xperia z2 2 weeks ago. Just today my phone went crazy. The screen started detecting random touches every where _ghost touches_. I switched it off several times until the problem was solved . But apparently a new problem appeared. Now I can't scroll down the notification bar. I went to diagnostics where I could test the device. I tested the touch input and surprisingly the status bar area detects nothing at all. The screen works responds properly except for the upper most part ( status bar area). So I guess that this is a software problem . I tried restarting the device several times but it never worked. I hope I'll find a solution.

Hy me too purchased the z2 on the 09 Aug and da same probs notification bar not pulling down just after the 15-20days of purchase....ghost touch and diagnostic tool somtimes show no probs sometimes shows dot dot when I pull a straight line down...

I took to the service centet they advised Blore doesn't have support for z2 service and has to be taken to Delhi will take 10-15days...

I took it back..Sony needs to do something on this or replace the set as I dont wana giv the phone for 15 days and repair it...

I have emailed from here and it has gone to the UK support they asked me to write to Asia support...

I dint expect dis whatever the probs they shud have forwarded tht email to Asia support and asked them to handle....

Please look into this

I think it is the hardware problem . Should be Replaced.

But I ve found out one usefull remedy to gain the nortification bar pulled down.

Your Phone need root access.

In adb command ... just type .... adb shell wm overscan 0,50,0,0

this should retract the top of the display and nortificaiton bar work again.

if 50 not work put 100

Thanks
