Samsung Smart led cover app for S21/S21+ - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

The app keeps opening up on notification bar but I cant open it there by my own. When it shows on the notification bar, I am able to preview various icons on the led cover by swiping on the notification bar.
When camera is open, it shows rainy icon on the cover.
Is anybody else facing these?

I do not have the cover nor the app installed. And it seems that no one here experienced this issue

Thanks for the input. I realised it is not an issue but a feature to assign icons when the camera is open. Video recording has a preset icon, so does countdown in the camera app for the led cover.

Image Ghosting in the Notification Bar

I noticed the other day that when i close out of some apps it causes an image to appear behind the notification bar (only when its not open). Sometimes its just text and sometimes it reflects my background or home icons.
The only app that does it is Bike Race, if i don't open the app then its fine.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[Q] Faded dot on the left of the notification bar?

What is that faded dot, which appear sometimes on the left of notification bar... like a notification but it's not?
does it show with headphones plugged in?
If it is as Envious is suggesting, then its the Smart connect thing. Or maybe you are talking about the Noisecanceling which appear like a wave sort of.

Like the one in the attached picture ?
A flag, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE, can be passed to indicate that certain UI elements be put into a Low Profile and offer less of a distraction to the user. If I had a nexus device (really any device with soft buttons across the bottom) then I would also notice those buttons being replaces by the same dim circle I'm seeing in my navbar.
This has been available since 4.0 and is intended for book readers, games, and other immersive applications.
Maybe you have some sort of app that are running in the background. Try to check your task manager.
It's not related with headphones. It looks just like the one in the attachment but if so it should replace a notification, which i dont see after it disappears.
I'll try to get a screenshot the first time i see it.
And please check the task manager to check what is open. Please take screenshot of that too
Unfortunately, i forgot to check running apps but i dont expect any surprises because it was after a video watch. so yes a full screen app was working but there is no clue that it's for visual enhancement and it just disappears after a page refresh.
if it's a notification, i cant get to read it.
I wonder if it can override the gps icon? Maybe it's a notification that what you are using is accessing your location.
I've checked it with the notifications log, it was empty. So it's probably the hidden icon of the running video app in fullscreen. it emerges when i use mx player, as well. thanks for the brainstorming

[Help] how do you guys always show status bar?

in some apps the status bar autohide , like music player and settings , same for my tab 4 7.0 .
Unfortunately this is a "feature" of kitkat and above called immersion mode. Good app designers will give users a choice on if they want it enabled and bad ones will not. You can still swipe down from the top of the screen to show the notification bar (status bar) briefly but it will cover part of the app in the process since it is not really part of the screen anymore.

My google searching has only found ways to enable it on more apps but not even one way to dissable it.

Status bar being blanked out on home screen / app drawer

Hey everyone got a question hopefully someone knows how to correct. Randomly about a week ago the notification / status bar has turned solid white blocking out the time, signal strength, app notifications etc. However this only happens when I'm on one of the home screens or in the app drawer. As soon as I open any app, the bar reappears. I've tried changing every setting I could think of. Nothing seems to bring it back. Any ideas? I attached two screenshots showing the difference.
Nobody has any ideas?

Question How to Hide Persistent App Icon

So I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro to the galaxy s23 ultra. It's my first Samsung phone so I'm still getting familiar with the Samsung flavor of Android.
Is there a way to hide/not display an apps persistent notification icon from the status bar? I use a diabetic monitoring app(xdrip+) which has to always be running for obvious reasons. The app produces a graph which is always visible when I pull down the notification bar, I like that peice and want to keep it. However having the icon displayed in the status bar at all times is an eye sore.
On the pixel (and previously my oneplus 7 pro) I could set the notification to "silent" and it would hide the icon but would still display the graph in the notification bar. I can't find a way to mirror that on my galaxy s23. I can disable the persistent notification all together, but then I lose access to the handy graph.
When the notification shade is down and all notifications are visible you tap and hold the notification you want to change and after a moment a few options will appear and you tap settings and it takes you yo settings for that notification

I tried that, and setting it to "silent" didn't do anything sadly. I also tried disabling the notification entirely but that sadly made the graph go away as well.

Ahhhhh thank you. I fooled around a bit in there before but didn't realize that there were sub options within sub options. Thank you so much for the help, I'm now able to hide the icon.
