[Q] Unknown Notification Icon (and double of MyProfiles app) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello everyone,
Today this unknown icon has started appearing, and whenever it does it causes the MyProfiles app to double up in the notification area. I do not know what this is for and never seen it before either. It initially goes away when I reboot my phone but eventually comes back after a little while. Any idea what this is???
Thanks =]

Try clearing cache, if that doesn't work, clear data. This usually fixes most bugs/glitches on apps. OR uninstall the app and reinstall it after a clean reboot.

Do you know what that icon is?
I do not think that icon has anything to do with the MyProfiles app.
I tried clearing cache and data for the MyProfiles app anyway and rebooted but nothing changed.
The icon and problem seems to appear at the end of booting after everything has loaded

No clue what that icon is, sorry.
Try to think about what you enabled or disabled before the icon popped up. The icon probably didn't just pop up by itself, it must have been triggered in some way.

Hello guys. Recently my weather widget app keeps crashing. On my screen it just shows the time and nothing else. There is no background, location or temperature. I have restarted my phone and removed the widget from the screen and put it back on. This hasnt worked. It just says the app keeps closing.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

How to remove blocking mode notification in status bar?

I really like the blocking mode built into the os, but is there any way to remove the notification from the status bar when blocking mode is enabled?
Sendt fra Tapatalk
I have same query
I was wondering the same thing , its great but also a bit annoying being in the notification bar
Not that i know of, but it should stay there, you need to know it's on since it disables key functions.
I noticed that, while blocking mode was enabled, whatsapp sounds still go off in the middle of the night.

True, but we don't need to know it's enabled when it's not doing anything. If you set the between time it should disappear when it's not affecting anything.
Looking for a way to get Tasker of NFC Task list to enable and disable it.
Yeah... this notification is pretty annoying...
I hate it too... And just like everything else it shows how samsung can't make 100% good software.... Everything is always "almost good"... There is always something that spoils everything... That's why I can't stay with sammy rom for too long...

when you try to change the sound of notifications in whatsapp, and you select "Default ringtone" it doesn't use the notification ringtone, it uses your call ringtone, it's really annoying, but I think that's why, it's whatapp's fault
really hate this "feature" to notify me about blocking mode not being enabled...
annoying
yeah I agree this thing is completely annoying, it should be in the status bar when on, not when off! Image having a notification all the time that says your alarm is scheduled to go off in 8 hours.

that's the beauty of technology.. nothing is "perfect" otherwise, if everything is perfect on sammy then we wouldn't be in XDA now, would we?
I managed to hack away this notification!
The process is relatively lengthy, and does require a rooted, deodexed ROM... But it works!
The notification will be COMPLETELY removed - it will not show up even when blocking mode IS actually active (i.e. during the active hours).

isn't it easier to access the resources folder, look for the block mode icon and delete it?

I'm not sure if that'd work. It might remove the icon from the notification bar (the thin one on top), but likely not the ongoing notification when you drag it down fullscreen.
I'll try tomorrow and post it, but I think I remember seeing all that icons (the quick settings icons too) in system framework...
JFYI, I've put a couple of CWM zips together, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943987
By the way, couldnt find the icons on framework.apk
if you pull down your notification bar and press and hold blocking mode notification you will see app info, click on that and you should see a box about notifications and if you uncheck that the icon and notification will go away.

You can't uncheck this one, it's checked and greyed out (in other words permanent).

Apps randomly disappearing and settings not saving?

Hello,
I've noticed recently that sometimes some apps on my homescreen disappear and I have to drag it back out from the app drawer. I've done some research and haven't found any real solutions accept for restoring the phone, of which I've tried. Why does this happen?! Also, some of my settings sometimes change themselves. For example, my text notification sound changed itself to something else 10 minutes ago. I changed it back to what I want, but cannot figure out why it changed in the first place.. This has happened a few times already. This is really unsettling. Is this some sort of software glitch? Thanks in advance!
My ringtone also just changed on it's on just now. What is going on??
Anyone???

lockscreen icons disappearing (edit i think i fixed it)

I just can't seem to figure out why when I reboot a random lock screen icon will disappear I have to go back into settings/lockscreen and just hit save cause they're all still be in there
I thought it might be an exposed module so I disabled all of them and disabled the framework but it still happened
So question is anyone else experiencing this or does anyone know why this might be happening and have a possible fix
Thanks Rob
Edit: by clearing the lock screens app data seems to have fixed it
Duh on me should have thought about that first

Stuck voicemail notification

I have a voicemail notification on my S that just won't go away.. It says "some notifications cannot be cleared" even though I have no notifications on my phone.. Restarting makes no difference. Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance

you have to go to the voice mail notification and swipe it own and dismiss it by it self
I have the same problem. I tried doing it thru the watch and it is still there
Yea, its greyed out in the notification itself.. Its just stuck
I had to factory reset my gear to get it to go away. I think it has something to do with the new update
Took me a minute to figure it out - here's how to fix this issue in about 3 seconds.
Go to the voicemail notification on your Gear S.. long press it until the little red minus sign appears at the top right corner, and "remove" the actual screen itself (it doesn't get rid of your notification screen don't worry, it just deletes the voicemail notification)
Profit.
Ha!!!! That worked!! Thank you
Thanks
Worked for me as well. Thanks.
This is really weird. Thank you for the tip. It works, but it is soooooo strange!!!!!
There are two different sources that the trigger the VM notification indicator on the Gear - the phone and the Gear's discrete VM. If you look at the indicator it has two different icons (a phone and watch) so you can tell where the message resides. Clearing the VM notification when it comes from the watch is fine; it deletes like every other notification. The VM notification from the phone is the one that gets stuck and has to be deleted by long pressing it. I have Visual VM so disabled VM notifications from my phone to my Gear since they're redundant any way. Visual VM notifications on the Gear work fine.
Awesome So much frustration , solved with such simplicity
This did not solve my problem. I can long press the notification, but no option appears to let me delete it.

same here
model : SM-R730T
If that's the case, then you have to power up the watch, not connected to the phone, and check the WATCHES voicemail. Then delete it after listening to it.
