Bumping it up!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njan_ivide:
Solution found and now working like a charm.... I was about to take it in for warranty tomorrow but KNOX would have created an issue once i am there.

Solution.

1. download KIES 3 (for note 3)

2. Click tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization

3. Put phone into download mode (press Volume down+Home Button+Power Button and then volume up)

4. Connect your phone (it is OK if it is not recognized by KIES, just keep it connected)

5. Now do as it says by typing in your Phone model number (check the battery compartment).

6. Type in the S/N.

7. Let it do its business and download the firmware.

8. Once firmware is downloaded, It will start communicating with the phone.

9. You can see a blue progress line on the screen under the android guy.

10. Let it finish and restart.

DONE!! :):):):):)

Click Thanks if it helped!!

My bro

Tonight I faced the same problem but I try something I hope you will try and your problem with note 3 n9005 will be solved

1-you must have official rom on your PC for your note3

2-open it with winrar and extract recovery.img

That is the official recovery

Transform it from recovery.img to recovery.tar.md5

Read this post

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446269

3-download odine

4-put your note 3 in download mode by pressing volume down +home key then press power key after that press volume up

5-connect your device (you must have Samsung drive)

6-press pda in odine choose your official recovery.tar.md5 and click start

Wait till your phone restarted

Congratulations

I try this method before tell you so it will help.

Thanks

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] OneOddOrganism:
How do I set them to be two different wallpapers like you could before 4.3? It used to be under settings>customize but that menu isn't even there anymore. Would appreciate any alternatives if they removed the feature.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
There's never been an option to do that as far as I know, unless you're using a lockscreen app like Widget Locker

Android doesn't allow separate wallpapers like that, only custom launchers like TW or Chameleon, etc. or if you use a lockscreen app..

Because Sense is an only slightly modified version of stock Android (when it comes to system settings like that), they do not offer this option.

Correct me if I'm wrong?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] housewave:
You could do it before, I think it was a Sense 5 feature. But now, HTC removed that option in Sense 5.5
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] OneOddOrganism:
Thank you for the response I was a afraid they removed it from sense 5.5. Ah well, now to see if there's another way to duplicate that feature...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
No, I think you're confused.

We're still on Sense 5, and you could never do that. You don't have Sense 5.5 unless you're on a custom ROM.

After updating to 4.3 last night I gave this a try and I still have this option available to do custom Lock Screen WP and Home Screen WP. Maybe its an issue with your phone? are you rooted and custom stock ROM?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Ace786:
I too flashed my HTC One to Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 and now lost this feature, please help.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] eliasadrian:
There's no help, it's just gone. Maybe some devs will be able to tweak something and allow us to change them again, but for now it's just not possible.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] RobLon:
Hmm...

Yes, I noticed this feature had disappeared today when my phone upgraded to Sense 5.5 and Android 4.3. Although I couldn't see anything that it was going to do this prior to the upgrade, there only seems to be limited information about what the upgrade actually changes.

Since they got rid of the feature to display Owner Information on the lock screen in case I misplace my (really quite expensive!) phone, and also sealed the battery inside the HTC one so I can't stick a business card in there with my contact details so that if somebody finds my phone, they might just be able to return it to me, I used the Lock Screen wallpaper to put my owner information on that screen.

Now this is gone too... sigh.

It would seem that there's no reason for getting rid of this, other than perhaps certain mobile operators do not want customers to remove their logo or advertising from the lock screen every time they get their phone out of their pocket, you have to be advertised at. Otherwise, why the hell remove this functionality?

Seems paying lots of money for a handset even without a contract to a particular network doesn't escape you from this crapness.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpit88:
I recently updated my Galaxy S4 (i9500) to Android 4.3 [MJ5] using Kies. The phone is completly stock and non-rooted. After the update, I'm unable to pull down notification bar. However, after I restart the device, it works well for some time and then again refuses to be pulled down.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I have lot of data on the device that will be difficult to restore and hence and donot want to format the phone. Any suggestions/solutions that might resolve the problem?

Also, after the 4.3 update, when I check for OTA, a popup shows saying "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." Pulling out and reinserting SD card didn't solve the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kish0007:
Same problem. .. No solution yet.

I am going mentally insane trying to figure this out. I have refreshed and wiped my phone 5 times for the same issue, but to nothing good. The notification bar simply wouldn't want to respond.

What's getting to my nerves is that in one of my experiments with solving this issue, I kept my phone as stock with no third party apps, and still faced the issue. I kept knox uninstalled thinking that's what is causing the issue, but that's didn't help. I did lots of these kind of attempts, but to no avail. I'm concluding that is a serious Bug that Samsung is not going to address to soon. And we're simply screwed until.

Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kish0007:
figured out temporary solution

After a lot of playing around, I seem to know what's causing the problem. It's the Phone (Dialer) application that is creating an issue.

when the problem arises again, try making a call, and while the call is being placed, pull down the notification bar....It begins working.

obv I Ousby this is no permanent solution, but will help you from needing to restart.

If anyone with deeper knowledge can PLEASE look at what from the inside is causing it, and how can we make a permanent fix, much appreciated.

let me know if it works for you, the temp fix.

[/QUOTE=arpit88;46809031]Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?[/QUOTE]

Mine says official, for you, I'd suggesting finding the correct 4.3 version with the correct region for your i9500 / i9505, and redo the firmware. Download the firmware off Sammobile, and use Odin 1.85 whilst your phone is in download mode. If you don't know any of these terms used, Google it. It'll be helpful.

Basically, the notification bar problem and device modified problem are separate issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gab!:
Did u install the indian firmware or the unknown one?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s4greece:
yes boys same issue here after 4.3 installed

also my notification bar when its stacked works when you try it on a call but its a temporary solution. mine is official also. anybody find a permanent solution? should we again root 4.3 on 4.3? I think it must be that the 4.3 was installed over 4.2.2 maybe if we make hard reset it will be fixed?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpit88:
It's the Indian firmware, that I downloaded using Kies but still it started showing as "custom".

I took the phone to samsung care, they said Official 4.3 isn't released for s4 in India yet. :rolleyes: Lolz. However, then one of there geeky employees reinstalled the 4.3 update and now my both issues have been fixed. Notification bar is now working perfectly fine and Device status is now Official.

xxuemj8

I got an ota update xxuemj8 just now that seemingly has solved the problem. My test so far hasn't given complaints, but.let's see what's the situation in long term.

Indian version i9500 currently updated from xxuemj5 to xxuemj8

Should solve all your problems too if you refresh your phone with Odin. Meaning reinstall from fresh by downloading from sammobile and.installing.through Odin
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kish0007:
UPDATE XXUEMJ8 doesnt help

Update: XXUEMJ8 doesnt solve any problem. The bug still exists, notification bar stops working.

Also, another issue is that under Settings > Battery, even if Wi-Fi is switched off, the wifi blue bar shows full all the time as if it were ON.

This confuses me to if this is only a software bug in displaying the battery status of settings where wifi is truly off, and it thinks it is on.

OR

Wifi remains on throughout, and switching it off in the software doesnt actually switch it off, eventually taking more battery.

Android 4.3 Update

I DEFINITELY AGREE with the earlier post by Kish0007. The bug is related to the PHONE (Dialer) App. The problem always occurs after receiving a phone call.

I changed from German Android 4.3 to Unknown Android 4.3 as posted on Sammobile hoping for the problem to disappear. But it did not !

Mich
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sid0406:
The possible solution is to format your phone after installing 4.3 upgrade.

Goto Hard reset by pressing your Volume Key+Power key+Home Key......

Then goto Wipe data/Factory reset.........Don't worry your android Upgrade will not be reset, it will be as it is (4.3)....just it will format your data

and cache.

Do not forget to take backup of apps and your other data......!!

It worked for me & hope it will work for you as well........!!
