A strange notification symbol on the status bar - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Is there any one familiar with this strange notification symbol? I realize that this symbol indicates an error but I am not able to identify.
After purchasing my S3 in June, 2012 there might be 2 reasons to have such errors as below:
1. Without using anivirus application I downloaded as many applications including unknown sources.
2. I felt down my s3 number of times during party time.
Regards

Does it say anything in the notification bar when you swipe down?

[Q] New? Unknown Status Bar Icon - Xperia Go

Hello All
I've tried searching and can find no reference to the icon shown here on the status bar, on the left of the right side group of icons, next to the Mute icon. It looks like two hands holding a rectangle.
I'm new to the Android platform and can find no reference to it on either the phones or the operators documentation. It's there all the time, and cant be selected. It does grey out when I attach a USB lead.
The phone is running ICS 4.04 on the O2 Ireland network.
Any ideas?
Thanks - Mike
Sorry guys, I've worked this one out myself
Its the Extended Standby Mode status icon. It pops up when you enable the mode but is greyed out whenever the phone is on charge.

[Q] Avoiding Android notification previews

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!

Double text message notification on AOD

This started maybe a month ago and hasn't really bothered me but was wondering if there was a solution. I'm on T-Mobile in the US and whenever I get a notification it always States there's one more than I actually get on the always on display. If I have one it says 2 and if I have 2 it states 3. The badge counter and notification bar indicate it correctly. Using Nova launcher but assume that shouldn't make a difference.

Question Notification Bar - Vibrate or Silent icon no longer showing?

Is anyone else having the issue that when you set your phone to vibrate, or silent, that there's no longer any icon showing up on the notification bar?
Pixel users on Android 12 are complaining about vibrate not showing up. They say that silent does show up. They also say that by pulling down the shade they all show up. Pulling down the shade makes no difference for me. What happened here? Did Google push an update that broke this necessary feature? Any help will be appreciated.
I found the answer to my problem. I used ADB to null out ALL blacklisted status bar icons. I do not know how any of them were blacklisted but all credit goes to ...

Thanks for that reminder. Actually I had used in the past both of the top System UI apps. Guess I for got about them. Anyway, the method I found requires no app install and fixed my issue.

Question How to Hide Persistent App Icon

So I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro to the galaxy s23 ultra. It's my first Samsung phone so I'm still getting familiar with the Samsung flavor of Android.
Is there a way to hide/not display an apps persistent notification icon from the status bar? I use a diabetic monitoring app(xdrip+) which has to always be running for obvious reasons. The app produces a graph which is always visible when I pull down the notification bar, I like that peice and want to keep it. However having the icon displayed in the status bar at all times is an eye sore.
On the pixel (and previously my oneplus 7 pro) I could set the notification to "silent" and it would hide the icon but would still display the graph in the notification bar. I can't find a way to mirror that on my galaxy s23. I can disable the persistent notification all together, but then I lose access to the handy graph.
When the notification shade is down and all notifications are visible you tap and hold the notification you want to change and after a moment a few options will appear and you tap settings and it takes you yo settings for that notification

I tried that, and setting it to "silent" didn't do anything sadly. I also tried disabling the notification entirely but that sadly made the graph go away as well.

Ahhhhh thank you. I fooled around a bit in there before but didn't realize that there were sub options within sub options. Thank you so much for the help, I'm now able to hide the icon.
