On the latest GB update I have a constant red circle with a small white exclamation over the pull down wifi notification. Does anyone know what that means?? I have looked without any luck. My open wifi network notification is unchecked so it isn't telling me I have an open network available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Vinny
I think it means there's an open network available. It's not the same as the option you have disabled, which I presume will "notify" more obviously when there's one available. In this case, you have to look for the notification. When enabled, you'd be told in the Notifications screen.

This is correct. Simply means there is a wifi network available. It does not represent an error.
How do I get rid of it??

Occasionally, since I rooted my Amaze, I see an icon in the notification area that looks like an upside-down teardrop with an exclamation point and the notification text says "Set current time - Tap here to change your settings."
Sometimes I've seen this after reboot, other times it happens completely randomly. The time is correct on the phone... Why does this notification come up?
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer.

In settings Date & time there is an option to automatically get the time from the network, if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error..

Thanks so much for the quick reply. So to your point about "if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error.." - this has nothing to do with root? It's just a freak thing that happens occasionally?
I only ask so that I can understand more and try to learn more about my phone.
Thanks again.
It's not a root thing, just Sense looking for information and not being able to find it so gives an error.

Good to know. Guess I was just lucky enough to never notice it before I rooted, and now it happened twice so I guess I got concerned something was wrong. It could always be corrected manually each time, or - as was the case this morning - it eventually just went away!
Thanks again. Really appreciate the help.
Depending on what you flashed, it may have to do with your kernal or rom systematically turning off your connection to save battery and then if that runs you get the error. (my thoughts)
No. Nothing to do with root. My amaze is still a virgin, and I get this error once in a while as well.
As other poster mentioned, uncheck the set time with current internet or whatever it says it will stop.

I know
I've had my Lumia 920 for a couple of days now and am very pleased with it. However I have noticed that an icon on the top right corner pops up sometimes wich looks like a dot and a ring around it, and I'm guessing it's telling me that the GPS is being used.
What I want to know is what app is using the GPS since I usually is in the menus when I see the symbol.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Jacob

Nope, no way to see it. You can see which apps are allowed background access, and you can see if an app is running in the background, by going to setting/apps/background...
Most likely it is the OS itself getting a periodic location fix - which it will do if you have the find my phone option enabled in settings. It seems to do it about once an hour or so.
Just received my S4 and setup my Wi-Fi on it so I don't blow through my Data.
When I am connected to my Wi-Fi it shows both 4G and Wi-Fi on the top of the phone as if it is using both 4G and Wi-Fi.
Can others please check their phones to see if when you are connected if you are seeing Wi-Fi and 4Gor 3G showing at the same time?
Can't exchange the phone yet because the stores don't have them yet
Thanks.
Both WiFi & 4G are shown in the status bar when I am conencted to WiFi. However, if you watch the icons when using an app such as the browser, you'll notice only the orange & green arrows under the WiFi icon show data usage.

This is very confusing, especially when my other Samsung devices, S3 and Note 2 do not do this, it seems like I am using both

Check and see if you have any Verizon Apps running in the background. For example I *think* the My Verizon Mobile App only uses the VzW network when it is on.
Yes mine does this as well. As far as I can tell it's normal behavior. My Galaxy Nexus never did it, but my wife's Droid RAZR does it.

Some people have the same issue as me others don't. Where was your phone manufactured? Mine was made in China.
Mine was made in China.
I also have general wifi issues. The wifi is extremely weak. If I go upstairs away from my router the speed drops way way down. Also while all my other devices can see a bunch of other wifi networks in my area, my S4 can only see mine.
Mine is now showing the 4G icon while connected to wifi as well. It's odd because when I first turned on and activated the phone this didn't happen. Over the course of getting the phone setup this issue popped up.
Mine phone doesn't show 4G while on wifi.
Strange how some people show both while others don't. Do you think it is something we should bring to Verizon's attention or possible return the phone? The point of WiFi is so I keep my data charges down and when I see both Icons on I assume I am using both.
Curious to see where everyone's was manufactured, Mine was made in China and it has the issue.
Make sure to disable Caller Name ID app. In other forum someone mentioned that disabling and enabling this app worked (if you use this application). If this doesn't work, there might be another app that requires Vz network.

Caller ID app, where is that located and will that turn off me having the ability to see who is calling?

I disabled it and that seems to have done the trick but now when I look for the program again it is not longer there. Not that I want it back but I did not uninstall it so I am curious to where it went.
If u scroll all the way to the bottom u will see it....

Yep, that does it.
If you turn caller ID off will that stop normal caller ID from working on the phone?
Hi Fellow ATT S7E Owners,
Some of us have chosen to stay Stock on this phone. My primary reason is not tripping Knox and using Samsung Pay. I have been trying to fix most issues or workarounds:
1. AdBlocking
2. Mobile Data toggle
3. Package Disabler to turn down the bloat
But for us ATT users, there is this annoying continuous notification that pops when we turn off data for the first time, after a reboot, EVER IF, we have WiFi on ! It goes, "Mobile data is turned off."
Googled and researched ways of getting rid of this annoying message. Wondering if any of you had success with it? Getting all of us to talk about it to see if there is a solution, thank you!

There is very simple solution . Turn your data on. If you worry that you get overages turn off some background data for apps. When you on WiFi your mobile data is not in use.
For all the hype about having control over your notifications, not being able to change this one is super annoying. I'm also guessing AT&T is trying to get us to us as much data as possible so they change charge us more.

It shouldn't have to be this way, if I don't want data on, don't you agree? Why have needless signal processing or searching when I don't need something? ?

Tell me about it bud! Wish we had a way to slay it... For people wondering what this is, I'm attaching a screen shot...
The only way to get rid of it for now which is not very fun btw, Swipe right on the notification until you see the gear on the left and tap the gear. After that tap "phone" with the green icon next to the word "phone" and then tap "force stop".
So far that's the only way to get rid of it.

Thanks, but couldn't that endanger us getting a phone call, necessarily 100% of the time?
any news ? any way to disable it permanently ?
Interesting. I've never seen this on my S7E & I have mobile data permanently off.
Is it solved yet???

No Sir it was never solved and I moved on to the S8+.
The Theme I was using was called, "Red Strokes" I believe with custom icons and a wallpaper.
Hope someone cracks this!
Galaxy s9, Android 8.0.0 here. Following worked for me, check if it works for you:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Developer Options
3. Look for "Keep Mobile data turned on". Uncheck that.
And hopefully, voila...
EDIT:
This method does not work anymore...
1. Settings
2. Apps
3. Select Options, then Show System Apps
4. Locate "Phone" (Maybe there will be 3)
5. Select every "Phone" App that you find and select "Force to Stop"
and the message dissapers.
(If you restart the phone you will need to do this again).
