Hi, today I noticed this icon in my notification bar, and I really can't find what it is. Anybody knows??

it's what usually appears when the notification bar has run out of space to display anymore stuff....but not in your case it seems! Try clearing any notifications if you have any, otherwise try a reboot

No no this icon actually means that notifications are turned off, turn notifications back on and it wll go away.
Assuming you are running a slightly older firmware too as this icon changed to something that makes more sense a few revisions ago.

Again? This kind of thread pops up EVERY other day and I have answered just about everyone.
Your notifications are off. Turn them on.
Can we get a big sticky thread that says, "IF YOU HAVE THIS ICON IN YOUR NOTIFICATION BAR, LOOK HERE!!". ???

baldi - funny you say that - I honestly thought I'd somehow clicked onto a post from several weeks back as I have answered a couple of these myself

[Q] Notification bar and Quick Settings.

I would like to know what makes the notification bar have quick setting option. I like how there are two tabs on the bottom, one for notifications and quick setting, like the way it's setup in AOSP Nightmare ROMs. I like Sportsstar's because of the stock look and feel so how can I have both. I have copied the rosie.apk from the AOSP version and that didn't do it, and tried several things that cause failure to loads. I am slowly running out of ideas. Any thoughts?
What Rom are you trying to do this on?

Sports Nightmare Sense 4 ROM, I think I figured something out but it fc's every three minutes or so.
I put a link below that takes you to the apps and themes section and I flashed the blue venom theme that gives me the quick settings. It works great..no FC or anything(for me at least). I'm on nightmare 1.6. I have the blue. It also flashes messages 4.5 though (you can change background with any image in your gallery, FC with HTC backgrounds) and in the case that you don't like it..you might want to back up your original message app with that titanium back up or something.
This is what mine looks like

Strange Notification error

Hi there people of XDA
So I asked about this error over in a device forum here and no one knew really what was wrong and I figured it was just the phone but now I have a new one and it's still doing it :\
Anyway what is happening is this when an app needs an update and the play store shows the notification at the top of the screen it doesn't say the apps name it says something along the lines of amp&_ and a few more random characters instead of the name but when you toggle down the notification bar everything is displayed normally.
This happened on my old Xperia Play running ICS and JB ROMS and now I have an HTC Sensation with a custom jelly bean ROM and it's happening on that swell :\
Just want to know if anyone knows why this is happening
I hope this isn't frowned apon but I managed to get a screen shot as I said this happened on 2 phones so I'm honestly stumpted

Upgraded to 4.3 and now notification tray gets false "Download Complete" notifiers???

Upgraded to 4.3 and now notification tray gets false "Download Complete" notifiers???
I'm hoping someone knows what's going on here and can help asap...
I upgraded my Sprint SGS3 using Samsung Keis the other day and all seems well, except this one big issue. Randomly (it seems whenever I get a notification, or the connection state changes, or I plug into power)the notification bar fills up with the "Download Complete" msgs. This is an issue because I can't see legit notifications in the bar, and/or I have to scroll to the bottom to see anything.
These file names *ARE* for files I had downloaded in the past, but not since well before the upgrade. I have gone so far as to delete the 'Downloads' folder altogether, no dice. Also, it isn't actually downloading the files again, just saying it did...
Any idea how I can stop this? Rebooting the phone is not helping at all. Is there maybe a cache somewhere I can clear that would help? This is a new SGS3 (replacement), so I just got finished resetting up my layout and all my apps and stuff, so I would **REALLY** like to avoid wiping it to factory...
Any help is appreciated. Thank You... :good:

Speakerphone-like always on status bar

Hello everyone. I have a problem that started a couple days ago.
On the status bar it s an icon that looks like speakerphone is on, and it s there always.
I searched a bit, but I do not have the "speakerphone issue, meaning that when I answer a call, all goes normally. Also when I activate the speakerphone during in call , 2 icons appear and they are slightly different.
The only way it goes away it's when I enter the call settings, but it reappeares seconds later.
Here are some screenshots.

Looks like you have WiFi calling enabled, disable Wifi and tell me does it disappear? Its weird as you don't have all the WiFi calling symbols.

I disabled and enabled wifi and rebooted the phone a couple of times with no luck
It just does not go away? How can I disable the wifi call?

Charge Indication screen keeps showing up on lock screen while charging.

Hey guys,
I've got the S6 Edge and have recently noticed that occasionally a screen pops up indicating the charge status on the lock screen when I'm charging my phone. On the screen, it has a round and green charge meter. Under that it says which type of charge it currently is doing: speed, continuous, or trickle. Then there seems to be a big ad for installing Samung +. I had previously never seen it before. To my knowledge, I've never changed settings that would enable it. I'm currently trying to disable it, but I don't see the option to do so. Could it be associated with a specific app? Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I've got two screenshots of the indicator I'm talking about, but the system won't allow me to attach them until I have 10 posts.)
(I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I tried using the search function and was presented with mostly Quick Charge issues. If so, send me to that thread and I'll delete this one.)

My wife's phone (Moto G 2015) is having the same issue. No idea what it is and we've uninstalled a ton of aps already.
This started happening to me today and I've figured out from another forum that it's because I had a Go app installed. I had Go Weather installed which I've used for years because I like the widget. Unfortunately it gives no indication that it will alter the lock screen and there's no option to turn it off which I find unacceptable so I've had to uninstall it now.
