as the title says, i saw an odd icon in the notification bar. it was a red and blue arrow next to each other going different directions, and it said connecting to DM server. I know its the device management icon, but I don't know what it means. Is this possibly the beginning of me getting the newest update ota?
It's the update that is rolling out
the icon went away and then came back 10 mins later, it finished downloading and I did in fact get the update. it is installing right now. I hope this fixes the problems i have been having

Hi all,
Just updated my SIII with the OTA update (Android 4.0.4) and I now have a random icon on the status bar I can't get rid of? (See image)
The icon is in the top left of the screen (Looks like an Info sign crossed out?)

I've looked in the manual but there is nothing written about this icon? Anybody have a clue what it is? Or how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Matt
It just means you have notifications turned off (they changed the icon to match the one you turn it on with in the notifications drop-down and hence it's not in the manual)
Only way to remove it is switch notification back on.

Thank you very much for that! :laugh:
No worries, I only know because the old icon did my nut in for the same reason (couldn't figure out what the hell it was!)
I also have an icon sticking there but mine is a grey square inside which there is a minus. I find it so annoying! Is there a way to remove it? What does it even mean?
dasistsparta, that actually sounds like the old icon for notifications (assume you haven't updated your firmware to XXBLFB yet)
Try turning notifications on and see if it goes away.

Turning notifications back on removes that icon. Thanks!
Maybe I'm just crazy and haven't noticed these before, but today I noticed a Verizon Wireless text across the top of the lock screen and also the bottom of the notification shade. I know the notification shade is pretty standard, but I don't recall seeing either of those before today.
Right before I noticed this, I saw "Refreshing SIM Data" pop up twice as a toast notification while I was in the Play Store.
Is this Verizon getting us back for putting stickers over the home button or has this always been there?

I am not positive, but I think those were always there.
I am new to TouchWiz and the GS4. I just spent like 20 minutes trying to figure this out. Figured I would share. In the status bar, there is an icon that is usually the left most icon in the right aligned group. It looks like crosshair with a border around the outside with three curved lines coming out of the right side. That icon is for E911. And "can't be turned off."

After figuring this out I now understand why the custom roms remove this since it "can't be removed" in stock.

Hi Fellas,
Has anyone of you encountered notification being stuck on the status bar and on drop-down list?
The weird thing is that I can swipe it away, but the space will still be reserved and I can even swipe it back into place!
After a while, the notification in the drop-down will disappear (due to some other notification coming in or otherwise) BUT, the icon still remains in my status bar.
So far,I've seen it on Whatsapp and have encountered it about 3 times since I got the phone 4 weeks ago. Check out the pics:
Cheers.
Howdy, folks!
I've been using Android for a long time, and one particular behaviour bugs me. I've spent about a week googling around, sifting through the forums, looking for hacks or an Xposed module, and I can't track down anything.
When a new notification fires, the top bar momentarily shifts to show a preview of that notification. It might be as simple as a title-less notification that some app has turned itself on, or it might be a preview of a new message from some application. Regardless of what the contents of the notification are, the whole top bar momentarily stops displaying all of its icons, the clock, and anything else in order to show some of the text from the notification.
I'd like to stop this behaviour. Let me clarify; I don't care about modifying the contents of the notifications, I don't care about what shows up on my lockscreen, and I don't want to block notifications from showing up at all. I just want them to simply appear in my notification center and for the top bar to simply *poof* have another icon in it for the new notification.
I haven't been able to find any leads on this anywhere. I don't know if it's worth my time developing a little app to try to block this behaviour, or if someone has done it already. If anyone has suggestions, I'd be thrilled to hear them.
I'm using a rooted Galaxy S5 G900V on Verizon, running AllianceRom's KitKat release, though apart from the root access I don't think any of that should matter.
Thanks!
