A solution for what exactly?
Do you not see any options in your lockscreen settings to disable notifications pull down menu while on lockscreen.

No, there aren't. From the lockscreen, you can silence the phone, put it into airplane, or anything in pulldown. I wouldn't be able to to track it on airplane mode. I thk I SHOULD be able to disable the pulldown, and watched several videos and searched around.
Thanks for your help

I don't understand why you don't have these settings in your stock system settings somewhere. Is there nothing in your notification settings?

I have settings/notifications toggles, but you can still use the pulldown menu.

Google Now Question

I've searched, and I can't find out how to turn off the google now option when holding the home button. It's annoying as hell, and I never use it. Is there something I'm missing?
Go to your apps and look for Google Settings. Tap on Search and Now. Drag the button to the off position and you're done.
If you're talking about the ring navigation thing, Gravity Box has mods for it that work on this device. You can change/add targets or disable the ring altogether

How to access phone settings ?

The notification bar only shows notifications and no settings that I can see. Am I missing something or the only way to do it is to create widget or shortcut ?
Pull up slowly from the bottom of the screen. This is called "control center" it's super annoying to me honestly.

Yup that's it, I completely missed "more" on the bottom of the screen. Thank you. Other than few UI quirks I am liking the phone far.
Also the touch sensor works for me even with screen on, so they must have fixed that bug.

Touch and hold the email notification and slide down.
You have to restart your phone and the delete option will appear.

Enable immersive mode.
Search XDA since this was discussed a million times, you can choose to hide status bar and nav bar, nav bar only, or status bar only.

Yep I just did it mine a few days ago. Super easy, fast and should be this way out of the box imo.

Forcing immersive mode can cause issues with apps that dont expect it, say the Samsung Browser for instance. The recents tab will malfunction.
But having it as an option with a disclaimer would be nice instead of having to use adb.
