So I got my phone today and I can not figure out what the icon displayed to the left of the alarm icon in the notification bar is. Additionally how in the world do I get rid of it.

Is there a way to hide that without disabling it?

I believe it's a part of Sense. So, no, unless you flash a custom rom.

Simple enough. While I have your attention, do you by chance have any idea why I am getting some weird display under my time on lock screen. See link

Makes the icon transparent. Flash in recovery. I did this for T-Mobile One, should work for AT&T too.

Although I doubt a need for this. How do I revert and get the symbol back after flashing?

Flash this if you want to return to the stock icon.
Thanks.. Worked like a charm. Have NFC w/o the annoying NFC icon. Although I'm not sure what I'll use NFC on. lol Thanks for the hard work!
Will this still take up a slot in the notification bar (meaning there will be an empty space if a new notification icon pops up)? Also how do I revert if want to undo this?

Just tried it. It does NOT get rid of the icon, it only makes it invisible. I plugged in my headphones and there was an empty slot in my status bar in between the headphone icon and the wireless icon.

oh you are right. sorry I actually had my NFC off. I turned it on, plugged in a headset and verified what you just posted.
So, does anyone actually know how to get rid of the icon entirely? It doesn't exist in the international ROMs, so there must be a way to do it.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but i wanted to put this somewhere, and i installed this app recently.
Why after i installed this, it says "optimizing 5/250 apps"? Really? 250 apps?
I smell spyware...

I absolutely hate this type of in your face bloat.
Came here to find how to get rid of it, left disappointed. I don't have that option either.
This really needs to go, it looks awful.

Swiping doesn't do anything. Really annoying "feature". Hopefully will be gone in a future update
I love using front cam with the flashlight/torch on. But the latest update disabled the flashlight when the cam is on. Anyone knows how the workaround?

Hi,
I am on latest version of coloros 7. I have tried everything I know but have not been able to get rid of these home screen animations which look like brackets at the border of the bottom edges.
Please help.
Attaching pics for clear picture. Note the brackets () at the bottom edges.

I have tried resetting themes to default. Home screen settings to different drawer styles. Changing icon types. Assistive ball off.
Everything literally in home screen and lock screen magazine menu.
The thing is it happens only in full screen mode. With navigation buttons, those brackets dont exist.
Btw, do you have these jn your mobile?

Very strange.
What is "Assistive ball"?
Sorry but I can't replicate this on my device.
Maybe someone can help who has the same issue

Assistive ball is in settings- convenience tools
And are you on latest coloros version c27?
And you don't have these bracket things?

Ok. Thats new.
Donno why.
There is also a line in the middle which is aligned with the bottom edge. Its not associated with home screen settings. I have no idea what it is.

I have absolutely no idea to be honest.
Have a look and see if there are any toggles you can turn on or off.
One at a time. Check. If no...turn back on/off. Check another.
Just a thought.
As I said...I cannot replicate the issue you have and it is clear that you have some settings on your device that I don't, so I'm kind of looking at this blindly

Ok ok. Thanks anyway ?
On a different topic, could you suggest me a good back cover and screen guard for the device.

No problem.
I still have the original case and film screen protector that came in the box.
Found the solution
This is pretty much a swipe up to trigger google assistant, it appears when you turn on gesture control and it's a prompt (albeit not a very good one) to make you understand how to trigger it .
Since you can't swipe up from the middle to activate the assistant you need to swipe from the corners , do so 5 or 6 times and eventually the prompt disappears.

Maybe it's been deactivated? Check it out!
Options -> system -> gestures -> side sense
It's disappeared for me a few times, generally a reboot and then toggling it on and off fixes it. That said, I hate the bar. There is no good placement for it where it's both easy to reach and doesn't get in the way. I setup tasker to manually launch it with Shortcut > Side Sense Window Manager.
Shoot now mine disappeared and won't come back. I had it disabled but now I miss the little guy...
Edit: Trying to see if I can restart the service manually but not sure which one and I can't quite get the format right to launch any of them yet.
