Alcatel pixi 4 tearing my hair out

shakeitright

Bought alcatel pixi 4 as a stop gap due to smashing the screen on my g5,phone seems to work fine apart from the fact I keep loosing the status bar at the top of the screen,but only on the home screen,if I open settings the status bar is there,any help greatly received as I have factory restored 3 times in two weeks.

Can't say I know the phone but is it possible to set it to auto hide if there are no notifications available?

Is it the standard Android launcher or do they use their own?

If it continues and can't be changed then you could always change the launcher anyway and see if it persists (likely it wouldn't).

I use Holo Launcher and can recommend it although there's a vast choice out there.

Thanks for your reply.
The phone is using the Onetouch launcher by Alcatel,trouble is I cant find any settings for it.
To my knowledge I have not clicked to hide anything,but whatever I have done was included in my latest google backup as when I restored the phone it was missing the status bar,if I restore it and set it up as a new phone the status bar is there,its really frustrating me.

Yeah, I've just seen that they've tweaked lots on the phone. I'd look for a light weight launcher given the specs of the phone and just replace theirs.
