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.

I really like the blocking mode built into the os, but is there any way to remove the notification from the status bar when blocking mode is enabled?

I have same query
I was wondering the same thing , its great but also a bit annoying being in the notification bar
Not that i know of, but it should stay there, you need to know it's on since it disables key functions.
I noticed that, while blocking mode was enabled, whatsapp sounds still go off in the middle of the night.

True, but we don't need to know it's enabled when it's not doing anything. If you set the between time it should disappear when it's not affecting anything.
Looking for a way to get Tasker of NFC Task list to enable and disable it.
Yeah... this notification is pretty annoying...
I hate it too... And just like everything else it shows how samsung can't make 100% good software.... Everything is always "almost good"... There is always something that spoils everything... That's why I can't stay with sammy rom for too long...

when you try to change the sound of notifications in whatsapp, and you select "Default ringtone" it doesn't use the notification ringtone, it uses your call ringtone, it's really annoying, but I think that's why, it's whatapp's fault
really hate this "feature" to notify me about blocking mode not being enabled...
annoying
yeah I agree this thing is completely annoying, it should be in the status bar when on, not when off! Image having a notification all the time that says your alarm is scheduled to go off in 8 hours.

that's the beauty of technology.. nothing is "perfect" otherwise, if everything is perfect on sammy then we wouldn't be in XDA now, would we?
I managed to hack away this notification!
The process is relatively lengthy, and does require a rooted, deodexed ROM... But it works!
The notification will be COMPLETELY removed - it will not show up even when blocking mode IS actually active (i.e. during the active hours).

isn't it easier to access the resources folder, look for the block mode icon and delete it?

I'm not sure if that'd work. It might remove the icon from the notification bar (the thin one on top), but likely not the ongoing notification when you drag it down fullscreen.
I'll try tomorrow and post it, but I think I remember seeing all that icons (the quick settings icons too) in system framework...
JFYI, I've put a couple of CWM zips together, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943987
By the way, couldnt find the icons on framework.apk
if you pull down your notification bar and press and hold blocking mode notification you will see app info, click on that and you should see a box about notifications and if you uncheck that the icon and notification will go away.

You can't uncheck this one, it's checked and greyed out (in other words permanent).
I am rooted, and am curious if there is any way to replace the version of the lockscreen that comes with the s4 with a version that doesn't have the annoying yellow notification that pops up every time. I tried Nils and Dashclock, but the default notification takes focus and I have to swipe back to get to the notification screen I want to see. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable the stock notification, so I was wondering if it is possible to replace it so that these programs can work like they are supposed to?

What "yellow notification" are you talking about? Are you talking about that kind of "sunburst" effect when you first turn your screen back on? If so, you can change that at Settings> My device>Lock screen>Unlock effect

It's not a transition effect, it's a notification of a missed call or a new text. I have Nils notification widget as the only window on my lock screen. When I get a new text it opens up another window and shows me a notification of who texted me. I have to swipe back to see the Nils notification widget. I haven't been able to find out how to turn it off that default notification and still recieve notifications through other widgets. I have seen threads at adroidfourms with people asking the same question, but there doesn't seem to be an easy fix.
Anyone know what is this screen shape icon mean?
The one with yellow cycle, on the left side of Bluetooth icon.
It means the phone is locked to portrait mode.
Thanks. It used to default "No Show" when I toggle the setting.
Anyway to make the phone not showing that icon. It is kind of wasting space. Just like alarm icon.
I miss the old time when we are able to disable each icon from control.

I actually want that icon to appear on my status bar, if it really is the rotation lock icon. How did you make that show up?
I don't know which CSC make it show up. In my case, I refresh to force it set to BTU solve this. It is come showing now.

I just updated my phone to android 10 but since the update this silent notification appeared and won't go away.
Does anyone know what causes that notification?
Try changing the notification settings in "health" app.

as stated in the previous comment, its Samsung Health. Tap the little arrow tot he right of the notif and itll give you "options" or "details" or even possibly give you the option ot tap the notif itself and turn it off.

I see.. thank you!
Apparently it only appears when I set the notification setting to be silent. No way to remove unless the notification is changed to normal. But by changing it to normal the icon is always shown in the status bar.
Kinda liked it how it was before. No difference between silenced and normal notifications.
