Hey guys,
I've been trying to figure out why the NFC icon is missing from the status bar. NFC is turned on in Settings and Quick Settings; but the icon isn't present on the statusbar.
I checked NFC, and it worked when I tried to pair my SmartBand and my M8.
I haven't tried restoring the phone, but I have serious doubts that would fix (this is the last resort).
Any suggestion so far?
I'm unrooted, and I haven't unlock my bootloader.

go to settings > personalization > quick settings
see if the NFC icon is checked?
edit: oops.. just seen you went to check on quick settings, then i got no idea sorry maybe restart the phone?
Have you accidently pressed "hide NFC icon" in the settings?
Never mind you can't hide NFC.

Certain versions of FW don't display the NFC icon by default even though its activated.
You have 2 options;
Flash a FW with the NFC icon displayed, or
Root the phone and modify the buildprop to show the NFC icon.

Thank you for the answer! Unfortunately, me being impatient… I wasted time flashing another firmware. Oh well, not all is lost… only time!

Hi all,
Just updated my SIII with the OTA update (Android 4.0.4) and I now have a random icon on the status bar I can't get rid of? (See image)
The icon is in the top left of the screen (Looks like an Info sign crossed out?)
Galaxy S III Screenshot
I've looked in the manual but there is nothing written about this icon? Anybody have a clue what it is? Or how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Matt
It just means you have notifications turned off (they changed the icon to match the one you turn it on with in the notifications drop-down and hence it's not in the manual)
Only way to remove it is switch notification back on.

Thank you very much for that! :laugh:
No worries, I only know because the old icon did my nut in for the same reason (couldn't figure out what the hell it was!)
I also have an icon sticking there but mine is a grey square inside which there is a minus. I find it so annoying! Is there a way to remove it? What does it even mean?
dasistsparta, that actually sounds like the old icon for notifications (assume you haven't updated your firmware to XXBLFB yet)
Try turning notifications on and see if it goes away.

Turning notifications back on removes that icon. Thanks!
Hello. I have purchase the Samsung Galaxy S3 from a seller here in Greece and since upgrading to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 have had an issue with NFC. I reset the phone but problem does exist.The Icon in the notification bar to turn it on/off is blank, and nothing happens when I press it. If I then go into Settings>More Settings and then turn NFC on, it works. The icon in the Notification Bar then goes green and the NFC icon appears. However, then when I press the icon in the Notification bar I get the "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." message, and I need to restart the phone. Have tried adding and removing the icon from the notifications bar, but that hasn't helped. Is this a bug? I have heared that some people have the same problem.
I have the exact same issue here.... My version is 4.1.2 CSC: I9300ZTOEMA3
Odp: NFC Icon in Notifications Bar Not Working!
I had the same problem on my s3 and note2 but it seems that the bug has been fixed in the latest SW. I am working at Samsung's RD so I can inform devs very quickly about issues

Well you are going to be very popular round here! Have a word with them about multi tasking
The problem does still exist. Is there any solution?
Looks that it's working with the latest BTU EMB5 (for me it is)

you have to take the toggle out of the notification bar, reboot then you can add it again and it will work however whenever you reboot the phone or at least most of the time you reboot the phone it will vanish again and you have to repeat what i said. its the only annoying thing about the phone to me and it is definitely a fw issue just hope it gets fixed. havent tried emb5 so cant say if that fixed it or not

i have same problem with EUR ROM.
i thought it will disappear if i install another csc,i tried SEE for southern Europe but still
the same.
its a pity since i want NFC but i want to switch off my phone when not needed.
Samsung service here in Crete was unable to fix it.
they want to send it to Samsung Athens.
Xblast Tools (xposed framework module) fixes this problem. (Try playing with the notifications tranparency. It also boosts the statusbar/notifications when pulling down up. It makes it far more fluent.) I am on stock 4.1.2
i have same problem , what should i do?
Quick Setting toggles in Paranoid are awesome, I really appreciate how they work.
However, I miss the option from CM to edit the toggles behaviour, intended as which options the toggle can show.
In my specific case, I would like to:
- remove the Device option from GPS toggle and use just Low/High precision
- remove LTE from Mobile Data Switcher, as I have no 4G traffic (I love Italy for this things... and sarcasm) so I can have 2G and 2G/3G (someone maybe prefer 3G only)
If anyone has any other preferences, write them below, I'd apreciate if others have my same thought.
Feature requests belong in the bug tracker

Will try to understand JIRA in this case...
also, if we could get an update on that quick notification settings so we can decide if left or right edge of screen shall pull it down.. not just random.
thank you
@Pirateghost I can't register on JIRA; is that normal?

It stucks in an infinite loading; later I'll check if something change (I'm writing from the uni, as my computer is not working)
Re: Option to limit Quick Settings toggles
Whenever, I start my phone, all the toggles are there. The other best thing about this I had discovered is in order to remove them, one can simply turn off the toggles via notification switch or just via uninstalling the entire app.

I have no idea what this means. The QS tiles are not able to be uninstalled.

Hello,
After updating and doing a factory reset i restored the previous data and now I am facing some problems:
1) I can't display the network speed because I have already a limit activated. This is not working for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/help/missing-net-speed-indicator-updating-to-t3349624
2) I can't find the option to remove the name of the network operator in the notification bar.
Any one have some recommendations?
Thanks
LE: for the first problem I was able in the end to activate the option. Now I only need to hide the carrier name in the notification bar.
I don't have any problem to hide the operator name.
Where can I find the option to do that? I'm not able to find it.

I've looked and looked but can't see what it is and its bugging me that something might be running in the background using up battery I don't need
It's the nfc icon
I thought the NFC is the mobile one on the left
Mine appears on the left; however, if you zoom in on the picture, it's the nfc icon. Strange how it's on the right though ?. Have you tried enabling/disabling nfc from settings to verify if?
Yep and it does seem to be using 2 icons, one when NFC is switched on and the second when the NFC is enabled on the banking app which seems a waste of screen space
Hmm, that's really strange. When I turn on nfc, only the 1 icon appears but then again, I don't have a banking app installed. Are you able to turn off nfc on the app?
If I turn it off my app the mobile icon will go but the NFC one will stay until I disable NFC itself.
Never had two icons for NFC on a mobile before so this is a first
Maybe your banking app is creating the second NFC icon. You can look at what notification permissions it has in settings.
I only have 1 NFC icon. I have two banking apps and use Google Pay at registers and I haven't noticed a second NFC icon.
