I feel like hiding this makes the UI look significantly cleaner. I'm using nova launcher, which allows the option to hide the notification bar(not the drop down menu, but the bar) in the home menu but I was wondering if there is a way to hide it throughout all apps as well? The only time I care to see it is in the lock screen.

Thank you

any one able to get more than a day battery life?

Hi, I had installed Clash of Clans on two of my devices and to my bad luck both the devices are no more with me. I had an IOS device and an Android too. Since the Supercell Developers give option to keep the same base in two devices and i had done so to my TH 9 base. Now that i dont have my devices have installed the game in a new android device and have to start the game from scratch( one of the reason being my new email id creation for the new android device, old android id being shut down). Please provide a solution to recover my TH 9 base.

PS: I know its way to complicate.

So the upgrade at 50% is back! (http://www.verizonwireless.com/news/article/2016/030/link.html)But does anybody know if that applies to phones purchased through Best Buy? The only qualification seems to be that you bought it on Verizon's payment plan, which is what I am on.

on February 20th, my M9 (Sprint) updated to 6.0 and my emojis stayed the same. My friend just got the M9 later that week (Verizon) and had a software update. After he updated to 6.0, he had another software update a day later that changed his emojis to the ugly fat ones. How can he get them back? He is not willing to root his phone.

I always had the "life companion" message with the clock and date at the side.
Today I made some cleaning in my rooted galaxy S4 4.2.2 and probably I removed the process related to the "personal message", because I see in the lock screen only the background image without the message or the clock and date. I do able to select the "Clock" option in the settings and the clock does appear but it does not look good as it was with the "personal message". can it be restored somehow?
is it known what is the process name? and will factory reset will restore it, or a new ROM must be installed?
Thanks

On my S5, the content of a text would show on top on the status/notification bar. How do I make this happen on my S7? I've messed with the settings and can't get anything to work, and no I don't mean the annoying pop up message when using another app. Help please?

I've been trying to get my phone to register my fingerprint and I'm not sure on the technique. Do I press the home button down during the process or just rest my finger on it for a few seconds? The only time I can ever get the circle up with the 0-100% is if I put my thumb sideways and eventually it recognizes some of it but I've never been able to get it past 30%.

I'm not sure if the scanner is just the home button or is it also around it? I've kept the factory screen protector on it so I'm not sure if that might be bothering the scan

My dog kicked my Samsung Galaxy S6 into a cup of lemonade and my phone made a weird nose. I picked it up quick and the noise ended. I wiped it off and the buttons all worked fine. I then put it in rice for an hour. I took it out after an hour and brought it to bed with me because I needed to set an alarm. When I woke up in the morning, the home button wasn't working. Everything else was working fine. I put it back in rice and left it there for another 6 hours. After taking it out, everything was working still except the home button. The fingerprint scanner still works, but pressing the button does nothing. Now, many days later, the button still isn't working. Please please please is there ANYTHING i can do to fix this button. PLEASE. Thank You

Hello all, I was wondering if it's possible to hook up a logitech webcam to a nexus 7? If so could anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this. If not which tablet would be able to do this. Thanks

like if I bought minecraft

I just got it back and they updated it and now I don't know how to get my tasks back

I did a factory reset on my MXP because Approach for Moto Display stopped working (and still isn't so I'm getting a replacement). After using it for about a week, a Moto notification came up asking if I wanted it to read text messages while driving.

I thought these kinds of actions were removed form Moto Assist? And, I can't find this setting anywhere to turn it off or on. Does anyone know where this setting is at?
