When I'm using the web browser, I can't access the notification pull down. So if texts or other things come in, I have to go to the home screen, pull down and then look at the notification. Am I missing something? Is there a setting? I would like to have the notification bar show up when the address bar does I think.
Use chrome..

this is a HUGE problem for me too. I've asked a couple times in different browser threads and no one likes to ask this. the only answer I've ever seen is just like this,a quick snappy "use this awesome browser instead" and I otherwise like the stock browser best. but seriously, this royally pisses me off too. anyone with a solution, please speak up
is there a way to install sense 3.0 browser on this phone from an evo 3d? I like the new browser in every way except the status bar thing mentioned here, and the loss of the omni-awesome-bar the old one had. is it just one system apk to install over, or is it more complicated than that?
...because, I've noticed other things I've tried, like the flashlight from the 3d, don't match the screen resolution and the button is not where you must press on screen to work it. would browser have this same problem? and, is it just one apk or more integrated with the system than that?
thank you,
With the E3D you have to tap the capacitive menu button while in some browsers to make the notifications bar reappear. Maybe try tapping the recent apps button?
doesn't work. even the recent app button won't let you get to the status bar. literally must go back to home screen, or switch to an app that shows the status bar. either way, the browser page reloads, which sucks if you are composing something or on YouTube
one work around is by clicking the refresh button ^_^
If you scroll to the top of the browser, options come up at the bottom of the screen (add, bookmarks, saved, tabs) If you hit tabs, the notification bar comes down and you can resume the page your viewing without refreshing

I'm having the same issue. My friend says his notification bar is pretty much permanent and if it doesn't appear, all he does is scroll to the top of the webpage and it appears. For those of us that are having problems, I think the most efficient option is to use the "refresh" workaround!

This app creates a hot spot that allows you to pull down the notification bar from ANY full screen app.

I'm sorry, seriously, but that's a tedious "workaround." also, WHAT REFRESH BUTTON!??! and p.s.- I want it NOT to refresh... am I confused?
that bird bar looks promising... does it drain battery any?
To get to the notification bar from the stock browser, just press and hold anywhere on the screen and the bar should appear.

Simplest way I've found is to flick the screen just a bit, as if you are going to scroll up or down, which makes the browser address/menu-bars appear. If you select 'Tabs' on the lower-right, you not only see your tabs but the notification bar also appears.

Coming from the Captivate, there is one main thing that I miss. The status bar buttons. I know there are apps for this, but none act exactly how the Captivate did.
I've used a few apps, but they just aren't perfect. Is there a way to have these Captivate buttons from the status bar ported to the Atrix, or an app that does EXACTLY that?

I actually miss those from Cyanogen. There they were called Notification Power Widget. I have not found anything that can do it yet..
i would love to see that status bar on the atrix, its one of the few things that i miss from my captivate.
If you have power control plus, you can put a toggle bar in the notification tray!

I took a look at it and although it does put it in the notification bar its not a one click type deal. You hit it then it opens a new window for you to toggle in.

I have found this app work for what you are wanting to do. it wont pull down like a notification but you can make it better than that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
I have a whole separate page on my atrix with memory/battery/space information and then all of my widget switches
Another solution is using the app "mysettings" - It doesn't have
control from notification but you can assign long click on search button to open it then you can control all the features you had with your captivate from anywhere - even when I owned a cappy I used this app instead notification menu since that was faster.
quick settings
I had used my.settings for a while and found quick settings to be a bit better
Does anyone know if it will be possible to have toggles for wifi/bt/gps/silent/data in the notification drop down like other phones have?
You can download Widgetsoid and when you make a Widget it will give you the option of adding it to the notification bar.
When it's there, though, and you click on something it will open a new little popup window to press the buttons..kinda weird, dunno why it does that.
You need this ------>

This prevents notification bar widgets from directly controlling phone functions then? So it's safe to assume Extended Controls would do the same?

Yeah I guess I was spoiled with my samsung (before this thread I was not aware this was a samsung only feature). I really miss this feature... wish it came standard on all androids. The closest one to what I want is notification toggle, but it's still more clicks to what I want.
widgetsoid is closet that I can get,I too hate how we have to do at least two clicks instead of one like on CM7. But at least it's close and looks clean

I'll be damned. Your right, that widget doesn't take you to the clock. Just about every other clock on the market does though when you click on the time. And weather if you click on it etc...
I use a widget like "One More Clock Widget" which allows you to set it to open any app depending on where you click.
Here is one of the skins that comes with it.

Hey everyone, hopefully this isn't a total noob question, but after the ICS OTA upgrade, I have no phone (Dialer) application.
That bar that runs across the bottom was totally blank besides the "All apps" button and I have no dialer icon on the home screen. When i go into all apps, I do not have a (Dialer) application listed. I know the phone application is still on the phone somewhere because I can call people directly from my contacts, but i have no way to dial a number manually from what i can tell. If I go to settings > Apps > All, I can see the dialer there, but I have no way to create a shortcut to the dialer that I can use.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
It should be called "Phone" in the app tray. Is that missing too? What happens if you hit the search button and enter Phone, the icon should show up and you can drag it to the desktop or tray from there.

Ya, unless someone finds a solution I'll be factory resetting my phone. I hope that means I don't have to download the OTA again, but whatever. For now I just downloaded a phone dialer from the Play Store. There are a bunch of them for free. I downloaded exDialer for now since it has no crazy permissions.

Same Problem
New Guy here having the same problem.
Phone app is not present in the All Apps section and unable to get it onto the launcher bar at the bottom of the homescreen,
Like mentioned above, I can access the app via Settings/Apps/All but unable to get it from there.
The App icon is on my lock screen but it's a pain to have to lock out your phone just to make a call.
I also placed the People app on the launcher as a workaround.
Hopefully someone or HTC/Verizon can get a fix or this.
Long press on your screen... select 'shortcuts'...... then select 'activities'.... then scroll down to 'phone'... then select 'phone'. That should do it for you.

I long press on the screen, hit shortcuts, and get a list of shortcuts (no activities option there) and no phone option. I have put a shortcut to the dialer on my phone before, I know where it should be and it is not there. Like I said above I also can't find it using third party options like desktop visualizer. It is gone.
Sorry, I'm doing this from memory since I'm not on the official OTA.... Its someplace in there. How about 'activities' and then 'apps'? There may be a shortcut to phone in there.
Ok so it did show up in desktop visualizer under apps and not "other" so I can make a shortcut to it on my screen but I won't be able to put it into the dashboard. It does not show up in anything from HTC aside from searching for it, using the people app, or going into manage apps.
Hi, It would be great to have an option to automatically open the keyboard when opening the app drawer, so you can instantly start typing/searching without reaching for the search bar first. Any idea on how to accomplish this task on my new s23u, asking for a freshly converted iPhone user missing spotlight.
Thanks!
I use the "home screen only" layout because I'm used to the swipe up to search function with the keyboard automatically opening. (only available without app drawer)

Yeah that's what ment. If you have it like that then I'm not sure why you can't select the Apps screen radio button from Good note app.
Try updating the Home up apk or reset some settings.
Try using the Routines, its pretty powerful for all kinds of stuff like this.

I figured it out. You need to disable "swipe down for notifications" in settings to enable Home Up search. It's one or the other. If you have "swipe down for notifications" enabled, then the radio buttons in Home Up search are disabled.
This then means you need to swipe down from the top of the (very tall) screen to see your notifications. It's not really a good trade-off because you get a lot more notifications than use app search (but good for everyone to know it's an option).
Works ok here with swipe down for notification

Can you elaborate? What I'm saying is that you cannot swipe down anywhere on a home screen for both Finder (App) Search and Notifications. If you enable FInder Search anywhere on the home screen, you can only pull down the notification shade from the top of your device.
Are you seeing something different?
I swipe down from home screen to get notifications, I swipe up to get to the apps screen and then at that screen I swipe down to get the search with keyboard on focus.

Thanks. The issue with this is that the keyboard doesn't appear automatically with the swipe up, which was the question originally asked.
Indeed but this is expected. The Good lock feature explicitly says that you'll need to swipe down from the app screen for the keyboard to show and focus on the search bar.
What you want is to swipe down from the home screen and have the keyboard immediately show?

That's what the OP asked // the title of this thread.
If you put an icon on a home screen (ideally in the dock) for Sesame or Finder App search, that's what happens (you can start searching immediately). That's what I'm doing. 1 click instead of 2.
I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but you might like it as much or better. Use the One Hand Operation + module in Good Lock. You can set one of the 12 gestures to Finder. It comes up with the keyboard active. I use this module to define a screenshot gesture (swipe diagonally up from bottom right), which I find easier and quicker than other methods. I also define back and forward gestures.
There are a lot of interesting actions that can be assigned.
