Im new to verizon and the s4, just switched from Sprint note 2. I've looked at the icon glossary and the tiny manuals that come with the phone and I haven't found what this icon is nor a way to turn it off any help? It's a rombus with a cross through it next to the Wi-Fi symbol

More specifically, the E911 location icon. While you can't disable E911 location, you can disable the icon either by flashing a custom ROM or flashing a mod to hide the icon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41976357)

Negative. It is not the gps reticle. As stated above, it is the E911 icon.

Sorry about the misinformation.
I really hate it when someone does that, or puts something up that doesn't help the person with the problem. You can look at a post I made and see the very non helpful answer I got from some joker.

I am looking for the system.db on my droid dna . I cannot seem to locate it. I am trying to edit this to remove the pesky WiFi notification. And yes I am rooted. Any help would be appreciated.

Um that's not what you edit to remove the wifi notification. And most custom roms that you download have the wifi notification removed already.
Go to settings>wifi turn off auto turn on , and click don't notify and you shouldn't see it anymore.
I don't believe we are talking about the same thing. I want to remove the nag from when you click the WiFi widget to turn it on instead of it opening up the screen to click the switch on.

So you want a wifi toggle switch? One that turns it on and off without the settings interface?
I just want to use the default widget which matches the other stock widgets without downloading a widget add on and yes.

It isn't GPS, it's for e911. And it can't be turned off if the OP is curious.

The symbol stands for:Location E911: Indicates Global Positioning Service (GPS)

if you go to Settings, More, About you will see the menu item called Icon Glossary.. all the icons are explained there.. and don't share this with att friends.. it's not there.. apparently.. How does verizon get this cool little detail right and miss so many other things?

Is there a way to suppress this icon from displaying while leaving the e911 service active? I was able to do so on my samsung droid charge (2 phones ago) and would like to do the same with my new S4.

Did anyone get the mysterious wifi toggle after the update? I don't on mine, and I forgot to check my wife's phone before she left, but I'm sure its another thing Verizon added in the log, but didn't add to the device.
reads like a list of what we "blame" on our dev community. :laugh:

Yes, I have it on my 32gb model.
I am not sure of this, but it is likely a factory reset could be needed to gain the WiFi toggle

That's very odd because they clearly state a toggle was added in the change log. .What if you click the edit button, does it show a wifi toggle in the toggle settings screen?
I have no toggle. I tried all the settings I could think of. Im stumped

can u provide the factory image. How did you flash it since were no longer rooted? through ODIN? does your wifi hotspot work without subscription check? Heard it works for those on data plans and not on unlimited
Something else I've noticed. I used to use floating notifications, but stopped due to the talkback bug. After the update, I installed FN just to give it another try, and the bug is gone.
Anyone else notice this?
Also, to the guy that asked, I have the wifi toggle and use the 16g version.
I updated (after numerous tries) with the Verizon BS software, and of course, don't have the toggle (its not really the end of the world that I don't), I just find it odd that others do, and others don't. I have the 16GB, and a few who say they have the toggle have stated they have the 32GB (that shouldn't make a difference anyhow). I guess if I get bored enough later, I'll wipe my device and see if it brings it back (just so those who don't have it, and *want* it, know how to *maybe* get it back).
I don't have the WiFi toggle either. Quick thought...
Those of you that don't have the Wi-Fi toggle. Did you rearrange the order?
Those of you that do have the toggle, were you still on the default order?
Might be something to it. I rearranged my toggles...

Just got off the phone with VZ about the Wi-Fi not being included in the notification bar as stated in the changelog. They tell me Samsung is aware and will update the update in September or we could try a factory reset which will resend the update. Just repeating what I was told.
Just as the title says. I updated to the new maps and cannot find the explore options for local places.

To add to your questions about the new maps, I can't find:
- Measure
- Large Text
- Display Zoom buttons
I must be blind/missing something, and can't find those either.

Yup, no measure or zoom buttons = no upgrade for me, i use them all the time. I heard that they were shooting for a more iphone look. ie. less options. Funny really, everything apple made fun of with their "1984" anti conformist ad campaign they actually became. I digress lol

Strange. Well you can always uninstall and reinstall from the play store. That actually even got rid of some of the lag I was experiencing in the app.
Hi I just switched from my sprint note 2 and I've noticed that this device lacks a wifi toggle instead showing an annoying bar notification. Is there any way to get a real toggle up there in my stock rooted rom?
