Strange Icon in taskbar - General Questions and Answers

hello at all
what ist this for an icon on the left side of the USB icon?
I never see this bevor. i know whats the icon for, but theres no way to make the icon invisible.
I flasht a new rom, and there is it too.
3 roms i tryed, on 2 is this icon.
i dont like it, because it was never there
is there a way to make this invisible?
i hope you can help me

The Line 1 icon represents that the Line 1 on your SIM card is the currently active line.
The actual Service Name is called 2-in-1 Sim Service. See HERE for more info. Though that article is quite old, it seems many providers now support 2-in-1 Sim Service for Business customers that wish to have a Business Number AND a Personal Number all on one device.
If you'd like to remove the icon, I'd recommend talking to your provider about the service to see if you can disable it.

the strange thing is, i have this icon only on 2 roms.
On the other roms i have this icon not. I never change
any options at my provider and have not 2 nummbers,
i only flash a other rom.
thanks forn the help

What is this "1" status icon on top bar represent?

i have "1" (numeric) icon beside the "3G" icon on my raphael.
its been there since the beginning. ever after a 2nd hard reset and clear storage.
anybody knows why its there?
It's supposed to mean that you have a dual sim and are using the first number.
dual sim? how can that be? i am just using 1 sim and no other slot for the 2nd sim
Its means it's using Line 1, some telcos allow you to have 2 lines to make calls.

oh ok thx. i thought something is wrong with my raphael
you can disable it by choosing non videocall phone skin (throught advanced confing e.g.)

what is the large triangle icon?

On the menu bar to the left of the EV icon there is a huge upward pointing triangle icon. What is it? It appeared after I upgraded to wm 6.1.
I wondered the same thing forever! It only appeared when I used certain WM6 (not .1) ROMs. I privately decided it was product-placement for Egyptian tourism.

That large triangle is telling you that you are roaming. Since you just upgraded your system, you probably need to update your towers. On Alltel and Verison, you dial *228 and select option 2.
dalepl,
Thanks for your reply. I called vzw b4 seeing it and they told me to dial *228 and choose option 1. That corrected my problem.
I just came here to post the solution and saw your post. After reading your solution I wondered what option 2 was. So for the hell of it, I redialed *228 and sure enough the robot lady told me to choose option 2 to update the "Roaming Capabilities".
So in summary:
(on vzw)
Option 1: "Program your phone"
Option 2: "Update your Roaming Capabilities"
Sprint Tower Re-Sync
For Sprint users its *18
is there a way to do this on the fido network in canada?
looks like no.
too bad cause it's driving me crazy and some apps won't work because they think i'm "roaming"

Dualsimuser: show simname on todayscreen

I use a analog dualsimholder. What i am searching since such a long time is a trick to show the IMSI code (or sim telephone number) on the tf3d todayscreen next to the operator name so i can see which sim is in use.
(Because my 2 sims are from the same network operator, on todayscreen the same network name is shown, and I can not decide which sim is in use).
I used to use the todayplugin from pelargonium, but this one only work on WM-todayscreen, not on tf3d.
Much better solution would be, if the used network operator and the sim number in use would be visible on the lockscreen.
Hope some dualsim users can help.
I use hd2- 1.66 rom
the boring solution until now is to:
1.) unlock phone
2.) use cookiemonster-plugin and made shortcut for sim-manager on homescreen. When opening sim manager i can see which sim number is in use.
But i would like to see which operater and which sim is in use with just one look on lockscreen when power up the phone

Roaming indicator (triangle) is showing all the time. How to remove it?

Hello,
my service provider displays the roaming triangle always on the top of the screen. Even if I am not connected to the 3G/Data.
When I checked it with another provider, using a different sim card, it dissapeared.
Does anyone have any idea or a solution? I selected the "don't roam" also, it is always there and in front of tiles and programs its really annoying.
I don't mind if it's always hidden. Thank you!
maybe a registry tweak?
I had a similar problem with the call forwarding icon. all i did was enable call forwarding and then disabling it and restart. the icon went away.
Thanks but is not my solution... I guess a registry edit will give the trick
Dumb question -- Did you try a battery pull?
Also, maybe in your area you're always on an alternate provider's network. Some cellular companies sign agreements to carry each others traffic. I'm not sure if the phone can be programmed to still use these alternates in "Don't Roam" mode.
I think my company works like this. So i thought of a registry tweak
My phone gets the triangle allot, when I hazy evo I wouldn't . What gives? I think its a bug....
Sent from my T7575 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
that means evo is buggy...

Question Wifi calling icon in notification bar

Do you know how to enable the wifi calling icon in notification bar?
Is there an adb command for that?
I have a US version U1 Ultra and I have 2 providers. a) ATT and b) Freedom (canada).
While the notification icon appears for Freedom in the notification bar and the number 2 is shown (esim), for ATT the phone
does not show any icon. Both wifi calling are active and there is no problem.
I can see the wifi calling only if I go to the dialer and see the wifi calling icon
I have done this experiment with multiple providers and phone (visible, Mint, ATT, Fido, Freedom)
It seems Samsung does not enable the wifi calling for all US companies but it does enable it for all Canadian providers
I don't understand the reason behind that. I do believe having the icon in the notification bar is way
better way to notify the user
I was wondering if there is any adb command to enable the notification for a certain provider
Does it maybe only show for the main sim in use
I'm on tmoble and I don't have a wifi calling icon on my notification bar, only way I know i'm on wifi calling is to pull down the notification panel and see if the network at the bottom says t-mobile wifi calling.
It shows only for me sim2 which is my Canadian provider. I have tried 3 US providers and it never shows any icon. I have to go to the dialer just to see the green call button with the wifi indicator.
It seems Samsung has kept hidden the icon on all US providers for wifi calling
Samsung said all unlocked s22 ultras have the icon disabled for us carriers.
trying to get a answer from tmobile to if ANYONE in the call center has a s22u and has seen this icon is like talking to a brick wall.
the only two options I see for US carriers are to make your call then look at the call screen to see if the wifi calling icon is there ON THE CALL SCREEN or pull the status bar down and look at the bottom of the notification panel.
I have a ticket in with samsung about this being unacceptable and tmobile points the finger at samsung, samsung says since its a branded phone its their fault, so they each want me to go back and forth..
Honestly, my note 9 still works fine and has better battery life. If I could unload this s22 to pay it off at this point I would. The only think I like is dark mode and the camera, the rest of the stuff works better on the note 9 running oreo.
edit - your dial button shows if you're on wifi calling or network calling. it will either be the phone or the wifi calling phone.
I guess thats how they figure people will know. shrug
Samsung unlocked phones do not display the wifi calling or volte icons for US carriers, they never have. The locked versions do.
I don't understand the reason behind that the wifi calling icon is not shown in the notification bar for US providers?
It is really useful to know that you are in wifi mode without pulling down the notification bar or going to the dialer.
Also as mentioned neither the Volte is shown. I know for sure European models show the VoLTE icon on top of the signal
but let's say here in US all or almost all providers are shutting down the 3G networks and VoLTE would be the default so I will not miss it since I know the phone it will be in VoLTE anyways
