It pops up all the time. I noticed it about 10 minutes after I got the phone (all stock, I didnt add any of my previously owned apps).
When I see the mystery icon, I drag the notification pannel down, no notification, and the icon goes away...

I have seen Google Now do this on occasion, but nothing I could ever duplicate and identify the cause.
It's Google Now
Next time you see it and pull down your shade, pay attention. It'll either be a new card or an updated card. That's the pattern I've noticed.
That thing used to drive me nuts. Damn mystery icon.

Coming from the Captivate, there is one main thing that I miss. The status bar buttons. I know there are apps for this, but none act exactly how the Captivate did.
I've used a few apps, but they just aren't perfect. Is there a way to have these Captivate buttons from the status bar ported to the Atrix, or an app that does EXACTLY that?

I actually miss those from Cyanogen. There they were called Notification Power Widget. I have not found anything that can do it yet..
i would love to see that status bar on the atrix, its one of the few things that i miss from my captivate.
If you have power control plus, you can put a toggle bar in the notification tray!

I took a look at it and although it does put it in the notification bar its not a one click type deal. You hit it then it opens a new window for you to toggle in.

Yeah I dunno its mediocre.. I used notification toggle... It takes on slot per toggle so its not cm7 but it is one click. Just saying

Yea I read somewhere stock android doesn't allow it unless you make your own rom like cm7. I've also tried every program from widgetsoid to notification widget . Still can't mimic it exactly.

I have found this app work for what you are wanting to do. it wont pull down like a notification but you can make it better than that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
I have a whole separate page on my atrix with memory/battery/space information and then all of my widget switches
Another solution is using the app "mysettings" - It doesn't have
control from notification but you can assign long click on search button to open it then you can control all the features you had with your captivate from anywhere - even when I owned a cappy I used this app instead notification menu since that was faster.
quick settings
I had used my.settings for a while and found quick settings to be a bit better
Does anyone know if it will be possible to have toggles for wifi/bt/gps/silent/data in the notification drop down like other phones have?
You can download Widgetsoid and when you make a Widget it will give you the option of adding it to the notification bar.
When it's there, though, and you click on something it will open a new little popup window to press the buttons..kinda weird, dunno why it does that.
You need this ------>
Extended Controls

This prevents notification bar widgets from directly controlling phone functions then? So it's safe to assume Extended Controls would do the same?

i don't think that does what the OP wants, which is toggles within the notification bar (ala Samsung phones).
as far as i've seen, we can only have the clickable pop-up widget version that was described above.
This has come up before..
This is good as your gonna get Notification Toggle

Yeah I guess I was spoiled with my samsung (before this thread I was not aware this was a samsung only feature). I really miss this feature... wish it came standard on all androids. The closest one to what I want is notification toggle, but it's still more clicks to what I want.
widgetsoid is closet that I can get,I too hate how we have to do at least two clicks instead of one like on CM7. But at least it's close and looks clean

Yea it kinda sucks. You still have to use the widget, so the drop down notification is useless. In my opinion. I had a infuse 4g for 1 day and that was the only feature I liked on the phone..

No you don't need to use widget, set to invisible.
Ok tried everything you mentioned. The app doesnt like my ATRIX..
Widget appears if I tap on a toggle
Toggles in notify bar are PINk! And cannot change the color.
Is this normal??

I guess waiting for CM7 is the only solution for now?
the dropdown controls for the captivate are awesome, I haven't seen an app in the market yet that could replace these. If anyone could make this it would be awesome!
2.3 androids this is standard now.
I keep reading that the gray arrow with the minus or plus sign is "notifications off" but I don't see a toggle to turn it on or off. It's not in the pull down menu, even if I go right or left. Tmobile and others seem to have it, so maybe AT&T doesn't have the toggle? Where is the setting to turn it on or off?

Nothing, no notifications. I think it changes when I get one, shows a + instead of a - sign. But I rebooted it and it went away. Not sure why it came up in the first place and not sure how to fix it (besides a reboot)
When I installed the chrome browser and did the login the plus thing happened to me too. And when I pulled down the notification bar I was able to click on the plus arrow and it took me to a password login area. Hope that helps bro.

I know that I get the + icon when I have a crap load of notifications (not enough room to show all icons in the status bar). Not sure about the -. Maybe it wants you to hurry up and clear some notifications?
Is there a way to get rid of the carrier name on the notification bar? It seems like it takes up valuable space for actual notifications.
Do you have it there from flashing a theme or has it been there since stock? What carrier?

Carrier ID seems to show only on the lockscreen, and when notifications are pulled down.
It's not that obtrusive, IMO, but it's something AOSP roms can change.

FYI... I don't have my SGSIII yet, so I'm basing this entire response on my knowledge of ICS in general, not TouchWiz
Are you talking about some kind of carrier name in the notification bar or in the notification pull-down?
If you're talking about the pull-down menu, it may not actually "take up valuable space for actual notifications" if it works like the carrier name in stock ICS works... On stock, it shows up at the bottom of the pull-down, but you can see as you pull it down, that it actually appears behind the notifications themselves. So if TouchWiz works this way, you have nothing to worry about.
If you're talking about the notification bar, then I don't know what you mean, since I don't have mine yet. If this is what you mean, I obviously cant help you, but I'd still be interested in seeing a picture of what youre talking about. I don't see anything like that in the pictures from engadget's reviews...

Oh I see, so it shows up in the notification bar when the pull down the menu is activated
In that case, Samsung just moved it from the bottom of the pull-down to the notification bar itself. It doesn't seem like it should be a problem though, since you can see all of the notifications in greater detail at that point anyway. You don't need to see the little icons anymore when you can see the notifications themselves. No?

No, AT&T has a deal with their phones that their carrier name be in the notification bar. This is the same for the Galaxy S2, Skyrocket, and any other phones on AT&T. You can't get rid of it unless you obviously flash a custom ROM that disables it or an AOSP ROM.

no, but your clock icon and settings icon drive me nuts! you can get to settings with the menu button and the clock by clicking on the time on your widget. This would give you space for some different icons lol. Sorry, im a loser.

I'll be damned. Your right, that widget doesn't take you to the clock. Just about every other clock on the market does though when you click on the time. And weather if you click on it etc...
I use a widget like "One More Clock Widget" which allows you to set it to open any app depending on where you click.
Here is one of the skins that comes with it.
