It should have if your experiencing always swipe from top to see battery and notifications bar on top.
Restart your phone or restart nova launcher in nova settings to see if it fixes it

Neither restart worked. I also turned my phone off and on again.

I also realize this forum is for the Note 9 but I have an S9+ (I got here from google). No idea if that affects anything, but it seems like an Android Pie thing so I'm assuming the same should apply.

It doesn't matter note 9 or s9+ same should apply for both.

Then you probably have to wait for update on nova end as its probably not up to date with pie or maybe try joining the nova beta in nova settings and see if they have fixed it .

Hmm, that got me curious and I checked the default launcher (Samsung Experience Home). The nav and status bar both manage to stay with this, but only on home screen. Going into any app still makes them hide.

Anyway, that's what I feared. I think this might be something I have to wait on.

On the default Samsung launcher it should not behave like this even going into apps...something not right

I fixed it: I have the bxActions app, so I went into it and made it so that the Bixby button toggles full screen on and off. So I guess the issue was simply that I was in full screen mode

Same here I fixed it with (BxActions) by setting it to toggle full screen and I think I just had to do it once then I could bind it again to something else. Clearly it must have been an update that f***** up everything but it's not all good. It was really driving me crazy, I had to fix it asap cause my productivity dropped by 4x with that bug.

My note 9 has suddenly started hiding the nav bar and the status bar on everything but the home screen. If I click the dot to lock the nav bar it still disappears.

I have tried restarting phone, booting in safe mode and clearing cache but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated as I would rather not reset the phone if it can be avoided//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180925/79fa61e1130d46d50df4b53f8df63558.jpg

Don't do hard reset . Here's solution, the problem is in " Good lock" just turn off quick-panel star and you will get everything to normal .

My phone (Galaxy S9) started hiding the nav bar and status bar last night. I haven't changed anything to provoke this behavior. I have Good Lock installed but QuickStar wasn't active. I toggled it on and off but it doesn't seem to help.

I will try bxActions after work (seems to need a PC to turn on the full screen toggle). However I would think there is some other setting somewhere that turns off full screen mode...

 

[Bilfrost]

I got it. Somehow Immersive Mode got turned on. I turned it off, and voila, my status & nav bars are back.

I had the same issue and I figured it out... I am using Nova launcher and I had the settings for dark icons checked off. it forced the entire navigation panel to be black which on my black background doesn't show.... Unchecked it and everything is back to normal
