What is this grey bar on my new iPhone 6?

Today I bought a new iPhone six and for some reason when I stroke the home button with my finger this random grey bar pulls down from the top of my screen almost like a message bar when I've received no message, please help!

If you could show a picture it would help.

  • Songs on my Iphone appear dark shaded grey and will not play? I purchased some songs on Itunes, and when I try to put them on my Iphone, they appear a shaded grey and will not play, they'll just be sipped over, does anyone know the cause of this or even more importantly, the fix?
  • Songs grey and white won't play or delete on iPhone 4S? After I updates and synced, some songs turned grey and other remained white. All the grey ones won't play or delete, and about half the white songs won't play or delete either. I tired resyncing the songs back on the iPhone so I could delete them, but I only ended up with duplicates of songs and I could only delete the one I had just added? What is wrong? How do I fix this? 10 stars guarunteed to the person that can successfully help me solve this!
