Notification bar displaying by itself

CharlotteK — Sun, 20 Dec 2015 22:21:09 GMT

Hi, can you please help me? My Z3 Compact has just started displaying the notification bar by itself, I am trying to use my phone, type messages etc and it just keeps coming down which is making the phone unusable. I've tried re starting it, soft reset and safe mode, it just keeps doing it! Can anyone help please?

There were similar threads in the past where users had small cracks in the top part of the screen. Can you check for that?

Hi, I have checked and can't see any cracks at all, that would make sense but can't see any.

It's driving me mad!!

It seems to be when using the keyboard that causes the problem mainly.

Hi CharlotteK,

What happens if you test the touch screen, are you getting random touches.

Menu > Settings > About Phone > Diagnostics > Device Test > Touch screen

Can you perhaps try to perform a software repair using PC Companion ?

I agree with @alexdon on this one, generally hardware faults will show on screen when performing a test. let us know how you get on with the software repair.

Notification bar keeps popping down. Z3 compact

My notification bar keeps popping down constantly without me touching it and it's making using my phone impossible. It's mainly when I'm typing. What can I do to stop this. It's only been the last day it's started doing it. Iv not added anything new in ages or dropped it and iv tried the diagnostic tests.

I´ve got the same problem. It started 2 days ago. The notification bar and sometimes even the menu (that normally just comes up if you touch the notification bar again) will randomly pub up while useing the touchscreen.

Touchscreen test in diagnostics works fine and no pop ups there. While typing the problem seems to be much worse than while just browsing through screens.

Firmware 23.4.A.1.264

P.S.: Before that problem occured i had trouble for 2-3 days to open up the notification bar at all. Sometimes it would just work after switching the screen off and on again.

P.P.S.: I just tried to repair the firmware with PC Companion. This didn´t solve the problem.

I'm having the same issue since two days. Did anyone ever receive report for this? It seems like it's affecting a few people.

Hi nope sorry not that I found, I ended up getting a new phone, was really annoying.

Status/Notification bar pulls down automatically

Gav89 — Tue, 09 Aug 2016 08:03:12 GMT

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone may also be experiencing this issue and/or know how to resolve it.

When I'm typing on my Xperia Z3 Compact, or scrolling through pages, the status/notification bar often pulls itself down, so it interrupts me when I'm typing and as you can imagine it's quite frustrating!

Would anyone have any suggestions on what to do to try and eradicate the problem?

Thanks,

Gavin

I now have this problem, any fixes?

I seem to have a patch on the screen, in the middle that seems to affect the notification bar. If I go to an empty home screen I can press a certain part of the screen and initiate the notification bar coming down. I presume somehow that the sensor is damaged and it thinks that when I press the point on the middle of the screen it thinks it's the top of the screen. I think.

Hi,

My phone started doing this, this morning. No signs of screen damage it has a screen protector on it. Was working fine last night just put it to charge this morning and now the notification bar wont stop dropping down.

Has anyone managed to fix this? Only had the phone around 3 months so would really rather repair then have to buy a new one....

Thanks
