Notification screen won't pull down

Ever since updating to iOS 8 my phone (5S) will randomly stop showing the notification screen when I attempt to pull it down. Shutting my phone down and turning it back on fixes the problem. I'd estimate this happens a couple of times a week on average. Very irritating. Is this a known issue? Does anyone know if there's a better fix than rebooting your phone?

Hi Rjay Hansen1,
I see that you have an issue with your notification center in your iPhone. It seems like you have already tried a few troubleshooting steps and have determined that the issue can be temporarily resolved by restarting your iOS device. Since this only solves the issue for a short while, I would like to suggest that you take the troubleshooting a little further and reset your iOS device to see if that resolves the issue permanently. Here is an article that explains how to do this:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If this does not resolve the issue permanently, you may need to restore your iOS device as a further troubleshooting step:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • HT4623 Notification screen won't pull down iOS 6

    Just updated to IOS 6 and now my notification pull down screen is not available. Do I have to enable it somewhere?

  • Notification bar won't pull down on 4s updated with iOS8?

    I will get notifications but I can't pull down the actual menu to look at all of them. Does anyone know why? Or how it can be fixed?

    It's quite easy for me to answer this question, your phone is water damaged. I used to have Sony Xperia Z and which was water damaged too, I couldn't pull down the notification/illumination bar. The water entered through your speaker at the top which happened to me. It's quite notable that you'll have to spend like half of the price of your phone to fix this issue...but I have something easy round for you. You should place that phone in a polythene bag for 3 days minimum with full of dried rice and every path ways that water can enter should be opened up. 'Cause mostly water damaged phones are fixed by rice because rice s-u-cks every water out of your phone. Note: Now I'm SP user. Had to sell that old phone after fixing the issue.  Hit Kudo if I helped you. 

  • Notification Center isn't pulling down

    Hi, I have a problem with my iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1 which is Notification Center isn't pulling down. My screen is fine as it is all responsive everywhere I touch   Do I need to do a restore? Ive tried turning it off and on and putting it into DFU mode but no luck.  Advice would be appreciated.  Thanks :)

    I don't think you can disable either Notification Center (top of screen) nor Control Center (bottom of screen). You might try resetting your phone...it's been known to cure many odd quirks:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My status bar won't pull down and I can't use the search/menu buttons at the top of sony/stock apps

    Hi. I recently bought a Sony XPERIA SP and have been using it for a week. Yesterday I turned on my phone to download an app and the search/menu buttons at the top of the screen in the play store wouldn't work. I tried using the buttons that appear at the top in Walkman, Album, and Messaging, and they didn't work either. I then received a text and swiped down on my notification bar a few times but that wouldn't work either. Weirdly, the notification bar will only pull down in landscape mode. Help please?

  • Can not pull down notification bar in PORTRAIT mode

    I bought K900 from flipkart.com 2 months ago and everything was working ok. Now suddenly I have a problem with the notification bar; I can not pull down my notification bar. This problem started when I was using "GOOGLE+ app" and suddenly the notification bar automatically got pulled down; from that point I am unable to pull down my notification bar down. I have tried following ->
    1) Disable google+ app, uninstall google+ uppdates
    2) Restart phone normally and ALSO restarting the phone in safe mode.
    3) clear cache using an app "App managet" and also clear ALL cache using the recovery (by pressing vol down and power button).
    4) Factory reset
    5) tried another lauchers : LauncherPro, Atom launcher
    Has anyone faced this problem? There is an app on playstore "Drop down" which pulls down the notification bar. The touch sensors and also the display is working fine in the area of the notification bar (BUT I can not pull down by using fingers/swipe-down action). When the screen is in LANDSCAPE mode i.e. while playing a video using MXPlayer; the notification bar CAN BE PULLED DOWN, BUT CAN NOT in PORTRAIT mode.
    I have also read on the internet that some people having samsung galaxy s3/s4 have also faced the same problem.
    Can anybody suggest me to do something? Are my screen pixels/touch sensors dead on the top most row??
    My K900 is stock(non-rooted) and has android 4.2.1; I have not updated my phone to the latest firmware.

    I will leave this answer to my original question.
    I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
    question."
    So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
    It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
    So, I went and bought it!!

  • Book mark pull down screen won't refresh

    When using the bookmarks pull down menu, the screen does not completely refresh leaving remnants of the pull down menu above and below the Firefox window. I have an screen capture of this peculiarity.
    [http://www.hammondorganservice.com/downloads/images/bookmarkspill.jpg link text]

    Turning off hardware acceleration in Mozilla Firefox seems to have fixed it the menu remnant portion. With hardware acceleration turned off, Youtube videos stop playing. There is no indication that Youtube is downloading the data or the processing circle which appears in the middle of a video when it is held up because of a server latency problem. Turning hardware acceleration back on alleviates the Youtube video problem but of course recreates the pull down menu problem.
