Hello good people
I have a strange new icon in my status bar on my samsung galaxy s III nordic version,
since i cant post any pictures yet i`ll try to explain how it looks,
It`s to the top left, a grey square that have a pointy side to the left, and in the box, there is a black line
I have uninstalled all the apps that might put icons there but no luck even finding out what it is, I have searched through different forums, but can`t find out what it is for.
Would love some help?
It is not clickable?

Nope, nothing comes up when I slide the status bar down...
Turn notifications back on
It just means you have turned notification off in the power controls

I have the exact same icon on my Samsung Galaxy Note w/ ICS. I do not have a "Notifications" toggle, nor can I see where any of my notifications have been turned off.
Thoughts for me?

Is there a way to change status bar sound control to "Sound/Vibration/Silent" ?
Currently it's alternating only between sound/vibration....
I just got my Galaxy 2 days ago and I am unable to set this phone to be silent wihtout vibrating... its really annoying and I wish I had stuck to my Desire HD.

Mine doesn't come with a "status bar sound control". What are you using?

Bit of an overreaction, but okay. Go to settings, sound and set vibration type in there.

Mine is STOCK too
Dunno mate - bizarre.
Have you tried messing with the vibration settings to see if it turns on silent without vibrate?

Yes, if you keep the Vibration = Never, under Settings> Sound; then the switch toggles Sound and Silent (without vibration)

Your Switch is changed to toggle mobile DATA.
I have a Data toggle when i long press power button. what do you have there?
Just a thought... can you scroll this bar to the left by any chance? May be to reveal the hidden sound switch
Can't help you with the status bar control, but the app Widgetsoid will give you a widget that does it.

My power menu is the same as yours, and no - the toggles in the notification area can't be scrolled left and right. It's just different.
Anyway, I use the SwitchPro widget to toggle stuff that's not in the notification area, and that toggles Sound on/vibrate/sound off. Can't suggest what to do about the one in question though.
**EDIT** Figured out what it was! It was from the app "power control plus" which adds toggles to your notification pull down..
Sorry this might seem like a dumb question but, what is this symbol to the left on the top of my notification bar? The circle power looking symbol that the red arrow is obviously pointing to..
That I don't know; would assume it's an app that you've downloaded otherwise it would be on the right side, but can you please tell me how you got your lock screen to look so pretty-ful?
What does it say if you open notifications? For some reason, it makes me think think of a timer or stopwatch.

That is almost identical to the universal power button icon, except with the power icon the line points at 12 o'clock.
I searched on a number of sites with legends of Android notification icons, and could not find this one. When did the icon appear, and what had you installed prior to that?
Looks like you have a timer enabled in the alarms menu.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I have checked stock alarm, Gentle Alarm, and Alarm Clock Extreme.
None have this icon. Maybe the OP downloaded another 3rd party alarm app?
You've turned on the timer for a camera..
Ehhhh wrong... notification toggle... I think. I had to use this on my atrix.
Edit: looks like I was wrong too.. I can't remember what its called but I used to use this app. It had a full set of toggles in the notification bar.

Its not my lockscreen, its my homescreen [:
Dang, nobody knows what it is :[. Its been there but it wasn't noticeable when i was running greyblurs stock theme. Now that i themed over it and the notification bar is now darker, its noticeable and annoying. I really don't like many icons on my notification bar at all -_- SOMEONE HELP PLEASE :]

Found it.
It's Power Control Plus.
Power Control Plus Widget
Jogged my memory when you mentioned toggles ChongoDroid, so I looked through all my TiBu apps, restored a couple, and found it was this one.

OP, next time could you please update with a new post, or edit the subject with [SOLVED]. When you edit the OP it doesn't update and view that there is a new post/edit, so we typically don't look at the OP again. I just noticed I found what your problem was 2 hours after you posted you had fixed it. Could have saved me quite a bit of time if I knew you had resolved your problem. Cheers.
Can someone advise what this I have in the top left hand corner. There is nothing in my notification bar when I pull it dowb.

I'm not 100% sure what it's for, however I've noticed that it appears everytime I turn 'Notification' off in the drop down drawer, it may just be a notification to tell you that you've turned notifications off..
I have the same problem...how do I re enable notifications?
Ps nevermind I'm being a noob ...duh drop down button lol

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.

On my stock ICS ROM there used to be a toggle button that enabled me to hide the notifications in the notification bar. A very usefull feature as I use my phone a lot to show technical pictures to customers and when sms and what'sapp notifications pop up, it doesn't look all that professional. On the different Jelly Bean ROMS i can't find this option anymore. Has it just disappeared from Jelly Bean? Or do i need another ROM? Now using Omega V27.1. Thank you for any advice.

It's there on jb.. Press and hold the notification.. You will get an option to go to app info.. From there you can toggle notifications on and off
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It's been rolled into the "Blocking mode" feature. Open (the main) Settings from your app drawer and you can configure it from there. If Omega uses the original toggles (and not the 15 toggles), you can also configure Blocking mode from the notification bar (and turn it on and off from there).

Looks like even if i enable blocking mode, my notifications still show up. Is it the ROM?

Apologies for my incorrect reply, it does seem to be removed - the notifications feature of blocking mode only seems to refer to incoming call notifications
