Forums - General Discussion - Help with Android Notification Bar

farlaff on 19 October 2021

I know it is a silly question to post here, but it is driving me crazy. I tried XDA Forums, Xiaomi forums, Reddit, everything, but no one has come up with a solution.

About 4 days ago I noticed my Mi9 Android phone stopped letting me slide down the notification bar. I thought it was a glitch and tried everything, from restarting to soft resetting. Then I noticed it could not be a hardware problem, since the notification bar was working: it just would not allow me to slide it down when using an application. any application. It works on the home screen, and it's a nightmare, because everything that I need to do I must now minimize whatever app I'm using to go to the Home Screen and slide the bar down.

On Sunday I thought of redoing everything, so I tried a factory reset. Nothing. Still the same. I really don't know what the heck is going on.

Any help is appreciated.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Nope, I removed the one I had months ago...

You using a custom launcher?
If you are, deactivate it. If you aren't, try downloading/using the Nova Launcher.

Also, which version of Android are you running?

No, the launcher is the one that comes with Android 11. Currently using MIUI 12,5, the latest one. I might give the Nova Launcher a try.

Indeed, I would suggest the Nova Launcher that might help the situation. It's what I am using atm.

It did not work, but I found a workaround. It can be read here:

I want to thank you and everybody who took the time to write in here. :)
