You have disabled the notification tab that is all it is, just enable it again and it will go away
Thanks buddy, I feel like a right plonker, but you learn something new daily much appreciated.

I had that icon come up when I was roaming. sorry can't remember exactly what I did to get rid of it...
**EDIT***
just remembered! It was when I turned notifications off. Try switching Notifications back on. should fix it.
From the Drop Down, Choose Notification
-slide down the status bar
-find the notification toggle
-be sure it is activated (toggle should be green)
-done!
I too had your problem, I thought I could upgrade my phone lol sadly I was mistaken.
I do think that the icon could have been of a better design and as such more understandable.

Hi, I'm on AOKP-Neo 1.5 Linaro! [AOSP 4.0.4] my first real run with an AOSP rom, usually sense. Here is what happens, I recieve a text, it flashes across the top and then disapears from the bar. Same thing with Gmail. In sense roms if I get a text the message flashes across the top, like this, but then a message icon stayed in the top left corner. Now when I turn on my phone I have to look for led or pull down the notifications. Trying to clarify if this is native to ICS or if I can adjust a setting to keep the small icon in the corner until openning.
Not a big deal, just the way I liked it. I understand I can change my ringtone louder and the frequency of the led, just hoping to keep something in that top left corner. Heart will be warmed by answer.
Can't say that I've ever had that issue. Did you change any status bar options in ROM Control that might have affected it?
Notification Icon Transparency! Haha, i thought that was for the bar itself. Thanks for getting me 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.

verizon sucks!! None of the other carriers S4 has that icon!!
What is that faded dot, which appear sometimes on the left of notification bar... like a notification but it's not?
does it show with headphones plugged in?
If it is as Envious is suggesting, then its the Smart connect thing. Or maybe you are talking about the Noisecanceling which appear like a wave sort of.

Like the one in the attached picture ?
A flag, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE, can be passed to indicate that certain UI elements be put into a Low Profile and offer less of a distraction to the user. If I had a nexus device (really any device with soft buttons across the bottom) then I would also notice those buttons being replaces by the same dim circle I'm seeing in my navbar.
This has been available since 4.0 and is intended for book readers, games, and other immersive applications.
Maybe you have some sort of app that are running in the background. Try to check your task manager.
It's not related with headphones. It looks just like the one in the attachment but if so it should replace a notification, which i dont see after it disappears.
I'll try to get a screenshot the first time i see it.
And please check the task manager to check what is open. Please take screenshot of that too
Unfortunately, i forgot to check running apps but i dont expect any surprises because it was after a video watch. so yes a full screen app was working but there is no clue that it's for visual enhancement and it just disappears after a page refresh.
if it's a notification, i cant get to read it.
I wonder if it can override the gps icon? Maybe it's a notification that what you are using is accessing your location.
I've checked it with the notifications log, it was empty. So it's probably the hidden icon of the running video app in fullscreen. it emerges when i use mx player, as well. thanks for the brainstorming
Ahh pls help. Im pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. I got it at one point but I'm lost among the hyperdrive tweaks, gravitybox, and wanam settings.
Anyway. How do I change the Ongoing Notification Text bar. Or remove that bar altogether. If not remove it, change the text to black so i dont see "notifications". Im on hyperdrive rls 20. Right now it's stuck at that turquoise green color and says "notifications" I'd like to remove that bar to get screen space back if possible.
Also on the nova screen i have status bar as black, but when i pull down the notification bar it changes to a gray briefly.
Any help is much appreciated.
