[Q] Strange Notification Icon

Hi all.
Just got a quickie...can anyone tell me what this notification icon is? Both it and the blank progress bar won't go with rebooting the phone.
It's a sensation with ICS and not rooted...
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Some sort of download. Open up the "downloads" application and see if you can clear anything from there, or try to clear data from that app...

Looks like incomplete download. Try to clear cache for internet if won't work then clear data as well.

Aargh - just realised you can't see the stupid notification icon that goes with it.
It's a bit like a signal strength indicator or a wifi icon - it has 3 bars increasing in size from left to right.
Sorry - it was covered up by the tray - next time it happens, I will grab a screenshot
If it anyone knows what it is though in the meantime, please let me know as I'm pretty sure it goes with the progress bar
Cheers, Smiffy.

Also suffering from exactly this problem.
Reboot a few times, with and without fast boot.
Wondering if there was any progress on this.
Thanks

I believe it's an upload to Facebook. Whatever you're uploading completes but the notification and progress bar don't disappear. I think I got rid of it by disabling all internet connections and reconnecting.

[Q] Whats this mystery icon thats showing up on my status bar every now and then?

Watching an html5 video in full screen on chrome beta seems to trigger it. it also appears out of the blue sometimes.
Screenshots attached. Its that faint circle on upper left hand corner.

I also get this, but i get it whenever I'm reading an article in pocket, and sometimes the whole status bar dims and some of the icons disappear until I pull it down. Are you on sense jellybean?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

i've been wondering the same thing.

Yes. stock rooted jelly bean, so im sure its not a mod.

been trying to figure this out as well,
curious are you guys using google now by any chance?
im on cm10.1 and i get that same thing every so often im beginning to think its google now or something since i always use it for weather. but i could be wrong.

I may have solved the mystery. I pushed the SystemUI.apk file to my computer to analyze it and that icon is called ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_small.jpg .
This is supposed to be shown on devices with soft navigation buttons like the Galaxy Nexus when in "Lights out" mode to replace the back, home and task switcher buttons with faint circles so you can ,say, watch a movie in full screen and not be distracted by the buttons.
I have no idea why it's being shown in the notification area.. maybe Google added it as an additional visual cue in JB, and HTC didn't bother to remove it?
Anyway, I'm pretty confident that's what it is.

SlideOver is part of me and my brother's Sliding Messaging Pro project. This is only part of what it can do within our app, but we decided to release this part for free so that users can use this incredible feature without being confined to Sliding Messaging Pro!
This app is meant to be used alongside your messaging app of choice, whether that is the stock app, Go SMS, Handsent, Textra, or any of the other 3rd party messaging apps available on the Play Store. It is meant to extend upon that apps functionality and give you extra features that aren't present in most/any apps.
Features:
- An always on "bubble" to access your latest messages from anywhere (without even leaving your current app!)
- Quickly reply to a new message with the Quick Peek option, brought up by a simple tap on the SlideOver bubble
- Easily move and manage the SlideOver bubble with a long press to drag option and a double click to change the sliver width option.
- The SlideOver bubble will show contact pictures and some of the message with a very cool animation on new SMS messages
- Option to "ping" the SlideOver bubble when the user unlocks the device and there is an unread message.
- Reply without pausing your YouTube and most other video services and games (something that usual quick reply boxes could never do!)
- TONS of customization options
- and lots of other stuff
Usage:
1.) Download SlideOver Messaging
2.) Open the main app to view the settings page and apply any of the settings you think fit!
3.) That's it! Now just wait for a new message to come though and view it via the SlideOver bubble and reply quickly to conversations via the quick peek dialog!
Notes:
Some 3rd party messaging apps block the text message receivers that I use to display the messages to the SlideOver bubble. It is a very easy workaround though luckily, simply uninstall and then re-install your 3rd party messaging app (such as Go SMS) and the messages will come up in both your notification tray (through the 3rd party app) and the SlideOver bubble (through my app).
Very simple fix
If you like what we have done here, support us through a purchase of Sliding Messaging Pro! As I said, that app takes the functionality of SlideOver to a whole new level with an awesome pop-up reply dialog and some other neat customization and features!
Hope you enjoy!

It is because android is killing the service as you run out of memory, you can check the foreground service option and that will put a persistent notification that will stop it from killing the service.
Restarting your phone will also clear up memory if you really don't want to use the persistent notification option.

I have a rooted S4 and I have plenty of available memory, you think that is the issue. Only issue with persistent it that you get stuck with the
new text icon in your system tray.
Thanks

Android has to move around and allocate memory for different processes. Believe me, that is the problem. That is how services work in android, it gets killed to make room for other apps service. That is the problem, android kills background tasks when it thinks the system doesn't need them, even if they are being used. That is the point of turning it into a foreground service.
I realize that the persistent notification causes an icon in the notification drawer because that is how the task is turned foreground and tells android to keep it working all the time.

I lol'd at the discussion above. ANYWAYS...
Nice looking app mate Will give it a spin sometime

I have the same issue; nothing to do with memory or the service getting killed.
For some reason it keeps resizing the the circle to zero. Going into settings and resizing it back fixes it.
Similar issue with the placement of the box itself on the screen. If I drag it to a new location it will revert back to the top of the screen after a while.
Stock vzw Nexus.

Using Verizon HTC One.
When an incoming text arrives, clicking the contact bubble doesn't show the conversation like in the example photos. it's just blank. If I try to send a response anyway, the app crashes.
I really want this to work, because this is exactly what I'm looking for in a texting app. something that only handle the quick response, and not an entire replacement for the phone's messaging app. I have Ninja SMS installed as well, but I disabled that app before installing this one, because I expected the two not to play nicely. I will try again with Ninja SMS completely removed, and a reboot. in the mean time, I've sent a crash report from the phone.
EDIT: Removed Ninja SMS, rebooted. no resolution. At that point, the standard messaging also had notifications turned off, so I thought maybe by having an unread notification for a text, the app would pick up on it, but that didn't work either. I'm still getting a blank black SMS box, only the stock messaging app installed.
No rating for now, but once it works, it's a 5-star for sure!

Have you tried disabling the Double tap action, which allows for resizing the bubble? When I turn it on, on S2, it seems to resize to between 0-4% each time if I just quick double tap. I have this turned off anyway, but just tested after seeing your issue.

OK, it looks like it isn't able to read from your messaging database correctly... I will look into it after the weekend and see what I can do to fix it

Double tapping changes the sliver width if that is what you mean?
And I don't save the location of the message box, whenever the service restarts it will revert back to the top of the screen, this was by design

One more thing, the sliver completely disappears when in landscape mode.
Another tiny bug: in settings. Number of Contacts 1 - 5 is set with a "%" which doesn't belong. (showing 5% when should show 5)

Did you read my replys to them? It is most likely because you are double tapping to change the sliver width and if you don't drag out, it will disappear. The link at the top of the setting menu is a tutorial video that demonstrates this functionality

It is because I use a staic size down the screen instead of a percent. It was a feature that was requested with it in sliding messaging so that the bubble is gone when watching YouTube videos and such things. Just move the bubble up a little and it will be seen in landscape.
And yeah I should probably get the percent thing changed haha forgot about that one!

I like having mine towards the bottom where my thumb can reach I can suffer for now. lol.I odn't use landscape all that often
Is it possible to have a percent from top instead of units from top?

Of course it is possible, but I just don't think I want it that way, cause I can't hide it when certain apps or something like YouTube is up, and that us when it gets distracting and annoying, so I want the user to know it isn't going to adjust on landscape so if they want to see it, they will have to put it in the upper area. We will see though, I may make an option to use percent in landscape instead, don't know yet

I noticed the app got an update, but the update didn't fix my problem still can't read any messages coming thru, or reply to them.
It's interesting because the slider circle shows the contact photo and the message, but the box when I click the circle can't read the stuff. it's DEFINITELY finding the text at first, then not knowing what to do with it. what a mystery!

You are correct, the changelog didnt say it was fixed, and it hasn't been. i was out of town all weekend and that update changed a total of 2 lines of code. just added a function in there for a request from someone else.
The problem is the same one that many startup texting apps have on android, since there is no documentation, some OEM's do things with sms differently. HTC saves their messages differently than others, including google, so i can't read them in from the database. the reason that they show up on the bubble when it is incoming is because i pull that information from the broadcast that is sent and it is very easy to manage.
I know how to fix it, but it will take some time, and that is a luxury that i don't have much of right now, I am a college student and am very busy with my classes. So no, it hasn't been fixed yet, but i know how from sliding messaging. I will get around to it as soon as i can.
EDIT: there ya go, did it this morning. You will have to override stock, it is the second to last option under the settings menu.

I didn't mean to sound impatient. I saw by the changelog that it wasn't fixed. it was just funny for me because I saw the update and thought "oh yay!" then tried it again and said "oh damn."
thanks so much! I'l try it right away
EDIT: I found the problem. If I uncheck Quick Peek: Unread Only, then everything is fixed, even without checking the stock override option.

Gave it a try and liked it a lot. But one thing stops me from buying and keep using it: on my Samsung Galaxy S9 it uses only half of the screen hight when pulling down. Intended or a bug?

Love the app and bought it right away after testing it for a couple of hour.
I love how I can reply messages frombthe lockscreen without unlocking the phone.
Now, is it possible to make it not going to home screen everytime opening the shade from inside and app?
I'm using note 10+ with one ui 2.1. Everything else is working fine.

Hi. Are you using an Edge Trigger? If so, try to swipe downwards on it, instead of left/ right.

Nope, i'm using one hand operation+ from samsung for back gesture and opening the shade. It can open the shade no problem, no glitch, but everytime the shade open, the app i'm currently on was stopped and goes to home screen. The shade is still open, only the app behind it gets closed and goes to home screen.
Update:
Tried your suggestion to use edge trigger, it works. It can open the shade without closing the app underneath it.
So I guess I have to adjusting edge trigger and one hand operation+ for now.

Looks Great! Real smooth and Beautiful
One problem though, on my Mi note 10 (A10)
When I click on any notification to enter it - nothing happens.
Any idea why? I think I gave it all the permissions asked.

Incredible app, purchased it. Although 1 issue I have is when I swipe down on home screen to pull down, it pulls down the stock one, not power shade, is it possible to change this and I've just missed the option some where?,

I am receiving system notification on lock screen. Are there any custom notification for the lock screen as well?

There is an option to always overlay the stock one in Extras>Override system panel.

Still nothing. The problem is with EVERY app's notifation. it just doesn't open it from power shade
Did I miss some permission ?

Any ideas? I'm using Gboard and in notifications when I reply to a Whatsapp message, one press of space bar makes two spaces.

When I use a tile from a third party app, it doesn't change status in the settings display, though it does actually do the action of on/off (just remains never illuminated). And on my phone (sony) there is a weird bug, which is that if you use the shade to switch between light and dark, the navbar buttons may not change color properly. Everything works fine with stock or changing in settings.

Great App! I like it since my phone's manufacturer doesn't bother to implement accent color. This app give me a chance to customize my quick settings tiles. One issue is that even I have enabled Override system panel, the swipe down gesture from my stock launcher is not perfectly overrided. I am using ASUS ROG Phone II with stock launcher.
Another problem is that if I enable Brightness slider in header, it no longer shows when expanded the notifications. Can't I have it in both situations?

Yes, you need to grant that permission to the app which you want to open from notifications, not only to Power Shade.
