Top left corner in the status bar.... It seems random when its there and it is subtle so i never really notice when it shows up and when its gone.
I'm just curious
Usually it deal with the cards for Google now like weather and time to destination

That looks like GPS icon to me.
Edit* Do you mean that small dot on the VERY left?
Yea I get that small dot as well. I also think its from Google Now as well. That's the only time I see it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah I believe it is Google Now. Whenever the dot is there Now is saying there is traffic and a delay, or severe weather, so that must be it

I have a strange arrow pointing up on the left of my notification bar. Does anybody have a guess what it might be?

Updates available maybe?
Believe I had this after I sent a file via bluetooth to my laptop.
I expect if you open the notification tray (swipe down on the screen) there will be a corresponding entry for that arrow. Also the clear button should remove it once you have seen it.
You're both right! It's an update to google reader. My connection is slow today, it's taking ages. Also, the notification is greyed out and hard to see.
Thanks, guys

Pretty certain mine is the ability to swipe the notification bar left to right to adjust the brightness (assuming the auto-brightness is off).
So, whats your fav lost feature?
I know I have posted a lot of these in the tips/tricks, but its been a year.. some are old and forgotten. Could be new to people. Maybe there are new Tricks since I made that guide.
Holding the menu button on the xda app to get the search feature lol
Edit : not working 0.o

The thing with numbers I think its called dial pad but you put in a sequence of numbers and you can actually talk to your friends. That's pretty cool.

Hold upper-right corner (around clock, battery, signal icons) - the screen brightness goes to 100%
Swiping the letters to get specific artist names in songs to the music player. Swipe it while swiping it and you'll get and even more in depth search..

Long press of back button to quickly back out of several pages. Handy on XDA app as well as browser.

Sometimes when I open xda app I get a weird white box on the left side of the status bar. When i go to get a screen shot it goes away. Is this something that's happening to others? I'm running synergy 475.

Does anyone know his I can get ios like notifications on my evo 3d?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
yep. its easy. trade your evo in and buy an iphone jk. had to do it tho but also I don't even know what theirs looks like so sorry buddy.
Um? Push notifications? Gotta find apps that support them. Android does but I'm surprised at how few apps take advantage. Something that just looks like ios notifications? Uh... Wish I knew what they looked like to help.

go to market and get the iphone notifier app...
what kind of notifications are you talking about?
ios 5 style notifications that appear on the top of your screen instead of the status bar.

Have you tried miui closest to rom.to looking like iphone os
lol i've actually wanted the same thing a few times.
let's see if i can explain a bit better.
you know that time when you're playing a game or watching a video or doing something full screen and you get a text? you feel the phone vibrate, but you cant read it or see who it's from or anythign. ios has a neat little toast-like notification that pops down from the top for a second before dissapearing again to tell you the info.
the easiest way to do this for android without making a whole new notification system would be to add toast notifications to messages and stuff.
yes that is exactly what I need. Can anyone find something like that?
Tasker would probably be able to do it, though it may be a bit of a pain to set up, especially if you're not familiar with how Tasker works. There may be a tutorial somewhere for doing something like that.
what is tasker?
I know one which does that, but it's wp7 style... It's called wp7 notifications.

use MIUI, it does this and I found it annoying so I turned it off.
Try here...

Guys! I have 2 apps that do this. 1 was specifically for this, the other I didn't know had it. Text notify (that's the app name) does exactly this but it's near the bottom of the screen. Maybe 1/4 from the bottom. Then I got true caller Id, which might be questionable because it prompts you saying by using this app your contact list gets added to their database... But True caller id puts the notifications at the top like you described. Both apps free.

Is anyone else getting these spam adds showing up in there notification area saying things like you've won an Ipad and such. They show as a plus symbol when the status bar is in its regular position.
I want to find out how I cab prevent these spam notifications from occurring. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have them too. I think mine come from an ics theme I got for go locker. I love the theme so I deal with them, but they are very annoying. Sometimes porn ones too - not cool. If you find out anything let me know.

find the app that is causing them and uninstall. these background spam ads use up a bit of much need battery life =|
That's the hole purpose of this post. I don't know which app is causing this so I was hoping someone else does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector and run it on your phone.it will show you which app is causing the adds.
I know 'easy uninstaller' by info life and 'mp3 download' with the red circle icon gave me spam on the notification bar.
