Hey does anyone know how to remove the Vibration Icon from the task bar (considering that now when Vibrate is selected to always on it shows) on AT&T Galaxy S2 w/o rooting or anything like that? Trying to keep this one root free for at least another month. LOL
Thanks in advance
I was wondering the same thing, It's fairly annoying. I think Vibrate uses more battery, so it's kind of a reminder that you could disable it for better battery life.
Same here! I am used to my Cappy and still keep thinking that the ringer is off because it is showing the vibrate symbol. I keep the vibration on because I would never know it was ringing in my pocket otherwise. It would be nice to be able to use that valuable real estate in the notification bar on something a little more useful.
I was just wondering the same thing. I carry my phone inside my pockets I can't disable vibration I need it just in case I don't hear it ring.

settings-->Sound-->vibation-->only in silent mode
No. This is exactly the opposite of what we are wanting. We want to have vibration working at all times whether loud or silent but not have that dumb little icon in the top status bar
Don't see the point of having that annoying icon on the status bar at all the times. Also who's idea was to put the airplane mode toggle on the status bar , I would had prefer something more useful.

Yeah really! Why the heck would you put airplane mode toggle in place of something way more useful like a ringer toggle?
You guys make a great point about the Airplane mode I don't know what corporate big shot made that call! It would've been much smarter to have kept the ringer toggle there like @damon20r stated.
Hopefully someone will figure out the annoying vibration task bar icon sooner than later.
The Cognition X2 ROM is working on these issues. Primarily getting rid of the vibration icon and changing the flight mode toggle to Vibration+Ring/Ring Only/Vibration Only/None.

Hello!
I have rooted galaxy s2, change 15 custom roms, and still there’s one thing on every rom seam to appear: when i try to connect bluetooth on main screen, with scroll down options, and when i choose to select bluetooth icon, there's constant problem with every custom rom: first appears sound and then icon of bluetooth with this sign ”?”, and text message ''bluetooth available'' beside that ''?''! Despite of that, bluetooth works, but that’s really annoying! What is that, how can i fix it?

Hi mate,
just press this notification and u will see it's just an info.
U will directly bring u to bluetooth settings - f.ex. to make phone visible or connect to a device.
So:
Activate per icon in notificationbar (bluetooth activated)>press notification>
connect to device or make phone visible etc.
It's just a wy to make life easier and safe some clicking via menu>settings>Wireless etc.
Hope u understand and I could help.

Thanks for trying to help, but i don't really understand what you say, or you don't understand me, because of my poor exsplication of problem;
once again, when i press bluetooth on my main screen, but not an icon on home screen, but icon on ''scroll down'', menu, where also is icon of wi-fi, bluetoth, gps, sound, and auto rotation; after i press bluetooth icon first appears sound, then on way up in the left corner, appears tiny words ''bluetooth available'' with mark ? beside that words.

Despite of that, bluetooth is working, notification words ''bluetooth available'' disappear, but that icon of bluetooth stands in upper left notification part of screen with sign ? beside icon of bluetoth.

What he is saying, is that it is intended. It is part of Android so you can more easily get to the bluetooth settings screen to either pair with other devices or change your discovery settings.

You all have me misuderstood, that is not part of Android, it's fault, error
That is error message in notification bar, when you turn on bluetooth, bluetooth is activated without any sound or message like ''bluetooth available ?'', doest this message is normal, it's not!

I'm pretty sure I understand you just fine... but just in case, I'll describe what I see when I turn on bluetooth.
When I turn on bluetooth, I get a notification tone, and a notification that has the bluetooth symbol with a "?". When I swipe my notification bar down, it says "Bluetooth available". If I click on that, the notification icon disappears, and my bluetooth settings opens.
If this is NOT what you are talking about, maybe posting some screenshots would help us understand what you mean.

You actually do have an option to turn on notifications when open wi-fi networks are available. But it's off by default, I think.
As for GPS, the GPS doesn't have to connect to anything like wi-fi or bluetooth, exactly.
Mate,
all is fine.
This notification only appears on bluetooth.
And no it's not an error...
U can see it like and notification/info that u now are able to do s.th. with bluetooth... That for it is.
And sure there must be an "?" because at tgis moment u turn on bluetooth u aren't automaticly connect to an other device...
And yes it wasn't there everytime... It's was a "feature" (maybe for u not) in an earlier firmware release of android.
Be cool... Press notification and see that nothing crazy happening and then u can decide if u you.... If not just ignore it.
Hope all is fine now

yes, just that what you said! So that is normal! Can i turn off that option?
But it confuses me, because on one custom rom, which i held for long nothing like that is happening!

Hmm don't think so because it's a bit senseless to turn it off (normally).
But I'm not using the actual JKay, maybe it has the option to deactivate the notification, but I'm not sure...
Don't misunderstand me, but if u activate bluetooth y normally want to connect and than it's better to do it with two than with 5 clicks or?
Maybe u think again about it.
Hope all is clear now for you ;-)

That only shows up when you turn on bluetooth from OUTSIDE the bluetooth settings screen. In other words, from the notification bar or a widget, so you can more quickly open the bluetooth settings, if you wanted to pair a new device. If you turn on bluetooth when you're already IN the bluetooth settings screen, it won't show up. Try it. You can ignore it. It's NOT an error.

Whenever I receive new message/whatsapp/email/facebook/etc., my screen doesn't lights up to show me the notifications but it only makes the notification sound. Is there any way to turn on the screen when notification received?

It' s not an iPhone that's the reason why you have a notification light BTW it saves battery too. What a nonsense to turn the screen on each time you get a notification. Are iPhones still do that? I don't think that stock sense can do that.

Cool app and works similar to bitesms on iPhone jailbroken app. Only good thing though is the quick reply but imo the graphics on this make it look way out of date compared to the stock messenger. Only thing I don't like is when in your pocket you can accidentally hit reply and have issues if u know what I mean. Great alternative though for the few people that can't live without the screen turning on with a new text, lol. Personally I like it the way it is, does save some unneeded screen time and no possible way to case accidental responses. But if u just stare at ur device all day waiting for a text to appear, I can see the appeal, lol.
is there any other method to pop the screen?
i have been using the power button to pop the screen, is there any other alternative method?
