I'm currently using 2 sims on the dual sim model, and there are 2 signal strength indicators in the status bar to the left of the notch. That leaves practically no room for actual notifications, so I'm wondering if there's a way to hide the signal strength indicator for both carriers I'm on? I've tried using SYSTEMUI Tuner but none of the toggles would hide any of the indicators.
Silly question but did you restart your device after using system ui tuner?
Not a silly question at all, in fact I and not restarted the device after flipping the toggles but in my defence, it was because I could see other indicators appear and disappear in real time so I didn't think it was necessary. Nonetheless I did try to restart after turning off a few items that seem to relate to signal strength but still no dice. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I am having the same issue, looks like you can only have one notification for the dual sim version. I assume the only solution is to use the number of notifications option rather than the icon, given that only one icon will appear at a time. For example, I set up call forwarding and despite having several notifications, only the CF icon appears in the bar. If you add Network Speed then none will.

I'm using the icbar program on my xda and love it. I'm trying to customize it so it shows the phone icon that is displayed on the normal start bar (the one with the signal strength, etc.). I'm able to get it on their with a default icon (blue square). It functions like this, if you click on it (shows connection options, turn off phone), but doesn't display signal strength, etc. What can I change the icon to so it works correctly?

Well, I e-mailed the author of icbar, and he said that currently it can't do this . So, I was wondering if their is another program (that can be ran from icbar) that would show the signal strength, alerts, etc? Or is their a program similar in function to wisbar/icbar that doesn't cover up the system (?) notifications? I like to know when I have a voicemail :lol:
In the notifications pull-down menu the top left corner has a label dedicated to displaying the carrier's name. Since I never forget which carrier I'm on it's not particularly useful, and I've noticed that many ROMs add an option to change it to a custom piece of text.
I frequently switch between Wi-Fi hotspots and I often want to check which network my phone is connected to. Does anyone know if it's possible to have this label display the Wi-Fi SSID?

Yeah I've been wondering this too. If I get switched over to my 4g hotspot with its limited amount of data per month, it'd be nice to see that.
The ViperLTE rom has this in one of the VenomTweaks. It is a very nice feature.
Look under Tweaks -> Status Bar -> Carrier Label -> Carrier Second Label. Choose "WiFi Status"
Can anyone help with this. I did a Google search and looked in teh phone where the icon description list is and there is no info on this.
On the notification bar there is a new icon i have never seen. It is to the left of the 4G and is like GPS but it's not a circle but more of a diamond shape with curved signal bars going towards the right, at the 4G icon. I feel kinda silly but since nothing I've changed in the settings anywhere has turned it off.
Thanks

It's gps/location services (not just standalone). The bars can be removed by turning off location services but the icon itself remains from what I've seen. Probably icon represents at least e911?

Hey thanks. It reminded me of GPS but looked different. So non-GPS but standard Location Services will keep that on? Too bad, it just clutters the notification bar.
Yeah i tested it out and the icon does stay but the signal bars go away if you turn off location services totally off. Bummer. I see that as something to maybe fix in the custom roms.
Hi,
I don't really like the way Android (in fact CM13.0) handles the mobile data in the status bar. If I have both WLAN and LTE enabled, I have absolutely no notification that the mobile data is enabled. Then, if I lose the WLAN connection, the mobile data will be automatically used. I have a small network plan so I'd like to avoid it.
The solution would be a status bar icon showing up whenever cellular data is on, whether or not the real connection is WLAN or cellular, on the right side of the status bar, just as all the system icons.
First of all: has anyone already written something like that?
If not: I'd like to create such an application. I know that the right side of the status bar is reserved for system apps. Does it mean that if I install the app, spawning the status bar icon, as a system app, it'll automatically be shown on the right side of the screen?
Besides, is it possible to create a status bar icon without a notification in the notification list? Maybe Xposed would help?
Thanks for answering newbie questions
I never held a notch phone, but the poco has got my attention because of the price, I was wondering what happens when you've a lot of icons on one side of the notch, i usually have battery %, network signal, vpn icon, wi-fi icon, BT icon, and you could have even more...
My question is: what happens when you have all those things active on a notch this small? do they stay hidden or they go to other place? It looks like it only has enough space for time on one side and enough for 3 or 4 icons on the other side.
Of course the icons will be distributed over the status bar less the notch, I think.
I'm guessing the same thing as happens with a regular phone when you have too many icons on the status bar. They disappear off the screen and you have instead a symbol indicating that several icons are hidden
Should look something like this, weblink can be found in file name.
