Notification Bar Swipe Down

[JameyS]

After adding a case, I find it incredibly hard to swipe the Notification panel down. Same with side bar, but there is a useful app to correct that Called "Side Apps Bar".
How can I increase the area that I have to touch to pull down the Notifications bar? Highly frustrating when I have to swipe 5 times to get it to come down.

If it Was Sprint there is an app that is causing problems with the Notification bar

Do you have the latest TouchWiz home that allows you to swipe down anywhere to drop the notification bar? Much easier than reaching way up there or using the fingerprint gesture, see this thread.

Sweet! Thanks

You can also use the fingerprint scanner to pull down the bar.
Its in the settings. But once setup, you can swipe down on the scanner with any finger to pull down the bar.
And swipe up to push it back up.

Very useful, thanks for the tip

These are great tips, but, they don't work too great in other apps. Is there a way to extend the swipe down area system wide?

What app didn't it work in? I haven't found any

Does the fingerprint gesture only pulls down the notification panel once for you guys? I tried swiping again after but it won't fully expand notification panel for me. I wish it would.

Why not just download the latest TouchWiz and swipe down anywhere?

I think because that only works on the home screens. Swiping with the fingerprint sensor works within apps

There's a setting I missed. Nice, I like that a lot, thanks.

But yeah like liquidguru said, the fingerprint gesture can come in handy sometimes. I dn't use the fingerprint scanner for anything else so mightbas well make use of it some how. Oh well.
