Maybe I'm just crazy and haven't noticed these before, but today I noticed a Verizon Wireless text across the top of the lock screen and also the bottom of the notification shade. I know the notification shade is pretty standard, but I don't recall seeing either of those before today.
Right before I noticed this, I saw "Refreshing SIM Data" pop up twice as a toast notification while I was in the Play Store.
Is this Verizon getting us back for putting stickers over the home button or has this always been there?

I am not positive, but I think those were always there.

Hi,
This is maybe (probably) a really stupid question.....well two....
First time with ICS, but with android since 1.6....
Where have my notifications bar gone? at the top... to now see what email/text/missed calls/etc must I really drag the bar down just to see? all there is, is a minus symbol box thing.
But I cant find a setting to do it the "old" way with them sitting there to be seen without using the drop down box., or isnt there an option? with lcs?
Secondly the speaker works fine, but despite turning everything up in the sounds option im not getting any sound notifications for email or text messages.... yes its not on silent is there a menu ive lost in transit?
/facepalm
A huge pull for me was that notifications would show up on the second screen, out of the way. It seems to be working that way aside for whatsapp... Whatsapp is still showing a big heads up notification on top.. Anyone know of a way to get it to the second screen?
I am in the same boat, loved the idea of all notifications only coming through the second screen, but hangouts also shows a big heads up notification along with the second screen notification.
Bump
Damn ... I had a slew of WhatApp texts and V.M.'s over the holidays and forgot to check just where the Icon was on either/any screen. I guess just seeing the Icon was enough that I didn't think about it's location.
Later today I'll reach out for someone I know on it and see where it pops up when they reply.

Use HeadsOff app, Worked for me.
the same for me.
Any fix for that?
Hey everyone got a question hopefully someone knows how to correct. Randomly about a week ago the notification / status bar has turned solid white blocking out the time, signal strength, app notifications etc. However this only happens when I'm on one of the home screens or in the app drawer. As soon as I open any app, the bar reappears. I've tried changing every setting I could think of. Nothing seems to bring it back. Any ideas? I attached two screenshots showing the difference.
Nobody has any ideas?
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.
On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
