So I got my phone back from wileyfox repairs last week and ever since the 'GPS on' icon in the notification bar at the top has been constantly showing. I turn GPS off in quick settings (sometimes I find it has turned itself on) yet the icon at the top doesn't go away. Does anyone know what this could be or have you had a similar problem?
Thanks
I had this sometime ago, but an update fixed it. Are you on latest version?

Hello,
my phone suddenly stopped showing proper notification icons overnight - it shows just the one indicating "more notifications". Doesn't matter how many notifications are actually on.
Reboot didn't help.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm running rooted stock ROM XXALEF.
Pull down your notification bar and turn Notifications on.

Click to expand...

Thanks!
Jeez, I can root my phone without issues but fail to notice the notification toggle, something's wrong with me...
So I started noticing that an "eye" icon will briefly appear next to to my 4g status. This will happen when I have signal, so I don't think it is related to the phone searching for signal.
First noticed it when running a speed test, but I saw it again when I was just on the homescreen.
Any ideas?
its the feature called smart stay... it keeps screen on while your looking at the phone.
it means you have smart stay on, so your phone will know your looking at it and not turn off
Just got 5.0 yesterday and immediately became frustrated with what appears to be a step backwards.
When my phone is sitting idle and the screen is off, I used to see just a blinking LED letting me know that I have a text or an email or voicemail waiting.
After this update, I still got the green LED blinking, but when I "woke" the phone up (pressing the power button to light up the lock screen) there was a list of notifications with brief descriptions of what was in the waiting notification.
I purposely shut that off before since I don't like just anyone waking up my phone and seeing my waiting texts messages.
Easy enough, I thought. I just went to the lock screen notification setting and switched the "when device is locked" setting from "show all notification content" to "Don't show notifications at all".
Problem with this is that kills ALL notifications, including the blinking LED!
I liked being able to wake up the phone, swipe down, and see if it's a text or an email waiting by looking at the top bar. Then I could decide whether or not to unlock the phone and check further.
Seems there should be more options than the "all or nothing" approach here.
First day, I know, but I wanted to get this out there for others to find, if there is a solution.
Thanks!
I have an S6 Edge, model SCV31, currently running android 7 (updated last night).
Due to my work, I've been in the habit of always having my phone in silent/vibration mode. This has been the case, with this same phone, for around two years. Maybe two or three days ago there was a notification on my lock screen telling me that my phone was on silent and that I may miss calls. I was given the option to take my phone off silent, or say "it is okay". I have never had this notification before. Normally if I receive a notification I don't care for, I long press on it and turn off notifications for whatever is causing it. I could not long press on the notification, and touching the screen to unlock my phone caused the notification to disappear. This was while running android 6. Around the same time these notifications started I was emailed by my service provider that I would soon be able to download android 7. I received the notification a few times before updating, both while charging and not. I was hoping the update would reset/fix whatever triggering the notification, but have still been receiving it since.
I have not been able to force the notification to reappear. I have tried turning on sounds and turning them off again, restarting my phone, and leaving my phone charging for a few minutes (I initially noticed it while charging) to no avail. Until now, I haven't thought of taking a screen shot, but if necessary I will try to remember when next it occurs.
Does anyone know what is causing this notification and how to turn it off?
Thank you in advance,
JB
Recently am noticing that when I connect my huwai mate 20 pro to my sync 2(ford endeavour)* the whole application is pushed down to 0.5 inch and there is a white bar on that place...i can see all android buttons but* inside region is pushed down. It seems like the notification area is consuming that white space. When I remove and add the app it works for some time, but again it goes back to the old stage.. The problem is the apps like Google maps are pushed down, also even in night the white bar is highly visible and its a distraction.
I had that white bar last week.
Today I didn't have it, I'm not sure what triggers it...
I only had it in home menu, not apps.
I have the same problem. Started yesterday. Shifts my whole screen down by the height of the notification bar. It's very annoying, and there's no way of removing it.
Yesterday it popped up by itself, but was concentrating on the road to even realise when that was. Hope this is resolved soon.
try to let the flip-cover open... worked for me.
