Can anyone answer the question that I've written in RED on the image?
I always have a space in that spot, which seems to be a waste. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter

Pure guess. There's a hidden app that loads at startup that they don't want displayed. It could be unique to Rogers.

the app Visible Vote Mobile's icon is a blank space in ICS for some reason (and they haven't updated it yet), but any app would change locations depending upon the ordering of and reception of new notifications, not stay over to the left like that (in the newest slot I believe)...
It's not a Rogers thing, mine doesn't have this. Was it doing this at first boot, or only after some apps were installed?

What happens on my screen is as follows: Whenever an app is opened and running, one that has an icon on the notification bar, that icon will first appear to the very far left of the notification bar. Then, a few seconds later, it jumps over to the right about 4-5mm as you can see in my OP image.
I just did another test, and created two images. The first one below was taken just a moment after I plugged the phone into my computer with a USB connection. As you can see, the USB Debugging icon appears, and it's to the absolute left. Then, after it disappears, all the icons jump over to the right, as you can see in the second image below.

I really can't say for sure. It's been there as long as I can remember.
So, you're saying that your unit does not have this behaviour?
Peter
Are you using the app "notification toggle"? I know that app will cause the gap in the notification bar if you set it to hide the notification icon.

Right. My unit from Rogers does not exhibit the behaviour in your screenshot. It behaves perfectly. So it's almost 100% got to be an app that's installed.
I would go to Settings -> Apps -> Running, and then start killing apps one by one, watching the notification bar each time to figure out what the culprit is. (I presume when you drag the bar down, you don't see this "ghost" notification.) Note: Your phone may become unstable if you start killing all your running apps, but a reboot is guaranteed to bring it back to normal.

Actually, you have the right idea. I had a look at all my running programs, and one in particular came to mind. It's called 3G Watchdog.
It allows you to have a notification icon if your data connection is active; however, even when your data connection is not active, the icon is still there, it's just invisible.
Peter
Addendum: I sent an email to the developer to see if he can change the app so that when you don't want a notification, it does not take up the space. We'll see what he/she says.

Whenever a notification first pops up on the task bar it will take up the "entire" top bar (from left till the system battery & signal). Afterwards, if the notification is active it will display in whatever order it was opened.
In the case of 3G watchdog... it must always run as an active application or else android would shut it down if memory got low. As you can see... that would cause some problems. Hence... to keep the app open they must have it set as an active notification which forces the icon to be in the notification bar.
If the bar bothers you, I suggest using HTCs built in data usage tool. You can restrict data usage with it.

Your explanation makes perfect sense. Thank you!
As you know, it can be difficult to break well-established habits, and I've come to rely on my 3G WatchDog meters (see below).
On the other hand, if I did remove 3G WatchDog, and use HTC's built-in data usage tool, it would give me a bit more space for other apps on my home screen but, as I said, habits are hard to break.
Peter
3G WatchDog Developer's answer ...
Here's the reply I got from the developer of 3G WatchDog:
Hi Peter,
Thank you for using 3G Watchdog.
The space in the status bar corresponds to an invisible notification which is linked to the "Increase service priority" option in 3GW Settings > Advanced. As explained when you check this option, "This feature requires a permanent notification in the status bar. The icon will be hidden whenever possible, but the notification text can't".
Technically this is because Android allows to raise the priority of applications only if they have permanent notifications in the status bar. The underlying idea is that these are applications which must not interrupted even if you are doing something else (e.g. a music player) - the permanent notification stays there to give the user a way to easily control theapps (e.g. pause/restart the music).
I let you update your thread with this answer.
Best regards
Richard
Peter
hi all,
this problem also happen to me. However it wasn't 3G Watchdog causing the problem. It was My Data Manager app which has similar function like 3G Watchdog.
Thx to Maedhros and PeterHTC to give some light of what causing this empty space on notification bar
Data monitoring is built into Ice Cream Sandwhich. I'm not sure if this is the HTC tool you guys are talking about, or if they added their own (that would seem redundant, but redundancy is to be expected with mfg/carrier bloatware; see AT&T Navigator vs Google Maps w/ Navigation). I've played around with it a little bit, it's one of the nicer additions in ICS. Though I'm on grandfathered unlimited, so it's not terribly relevant to me. Still nice to be able to track data usage.
@ PeterHTC & linuxspy
I use "TrafficCounter" and have no problems with the space on the notification bar.
SwitchPro Widget also leaves a blank space in the notification bar while running.

I'm getting frustrated with my Charge, but less frustrated now since its rooted.
I've been trying to mess around with this but need some help. I'll even pay for someones time to get my phone on track and setup how I want! I know this sounds like a wishlist but I'm pulling out my hair spending hours reading, trying, deleting, retrying, deleting again...
Here is my current screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fixes:
1) Since I rooted my phone, it has NO clock. I want the time at the top right side.
2) When I get a text message, I use handset, it shows a notification at the top left after I close out the window.
3) My visual voicemail is gone. I pay $3/mo for this from Verizon and the apps I downloaded dont work for crap or run to much and eat up the battery
4) Email is delayed or doesnt sync unless I do it manually
- 2 gmail accounts, 1 pop3 and ms exchange
5) Not sure how this happens, but I use my phone for an alarm clock. about once or twice a week I wake up to find my phone is off.. and its plugged in.
What I want:
1) Profiles - I used to have this on my old Nokia. It would select not only the ring volume, but also who could call. When I set it to "Sleepy Time" all calls went to vm except parents and wife, and so on with others.
2) Better email - I need something that is a better email client that sync's emails for each account at certain times and has better signatures, one for each email.
3) Battery management - I use "CPU Profiles" now but doesn't seem to shut 4G off... EVER. I heard this is the same with other apps, but there has to be something better out there.
4) Camera hack so I can still use it when the battery is less than 10%
What Id like but not necessary:
1) Ability to connect Wii-motes to my phone to play old school games
2) LED to flash when a text comes in. I like it and think its neat
If you have some skills or know what the F im doing wrong, hit me up. Have some $$ in paypal that I'd pay for a consultation fee
Don't know about the rest of the stuff but in the Market there is an app called
NoLed and you can set it up to flash different colors for different things such as texts,email.
Fixes:
1) You are on on Gummy from what i can see. To get the clock go to settings -> TSM Parts -> Statusbar Settings -> Text Color -> Whatever color (default is black that's why you can't see it). Reboot the phone
4) Ive never gotten non-gmail accounts to "push" or notify me right when I got an e-mail. This is the aspect of blackberries I miss the most. Gmail accounts work fine, but make sure you are using the gmail app, not the e-mail app.
What you want:
1) Android is missing this too (used it on my blackberry). I have looked for apps but I couldn't find any free ones
3) Look for "LTE switch" in the market to turn off 4g. Juice Defender is nice for battery management. I personally don't use it, but some people here do. You have to pay to get most of the good features.
4) Look here You have to be on froyo i cant tell from your screenshot whether it is gummy fe or gbe.
What you would like:
1) I don't think it is possible. I have a wii and i think those remotes work off IR. The charge has no IR reciever. You MIGHT however be able to take an old (non-wireless) xbox controller, change that usb to a micro usb, and write some code into the rom/hardware. It would take some serious hacking though.
2) See above on noLED. I personally dont like it but a bunch of people use it. Keeping a few pixels on the AMOLED screen on doesn't consume a lot of power since there is no backlight and a pixel only consumes power if it is on.
About the wii mote it actualy works off bluetooth and has an infared camera on it. So to use the tracking u would need an led light source for it to track. Also with your phone you will need drivers and a way to calibrate. I dont know how to connect on phone ive used a wii mote on my computer to make a multitouch surface

Vvm is in the gummy toolbox... Go to terminal emulator, type su, hit enter, it will ask for root rights. Then hit menu and toggle soft keyboard to see it again. Type gummytoolbox, then hit enter. Choose the option for tweaks I believe. Or maybe its apps. Either way just find it and choose to install vvm. It will give you an option for update/reinstall or something like that. Choose it and finish. Then go to app drawer and there will be a blue vm icon that will allow you to sync to vvm.
For email.. In that same toolbox you might try to update the email app. This may fix it. since this is a basic email apk it does not act like the stock one. Settings include "frequency"... You should probably choose hourly unless you have an extended battery.
Speed rules...
Edit... In gummy tsm parts controls what shows in the status bar. Go to your tsm settings. Adding/removing the clock will most likely require a reboot.

Ok. This a hotboot. Sometimes it will reboot and other times it will not. Try the gummy 2.1.. Or remember to clear cache partition and davlik cache every 3 days. All roms that do not update daily can see this. I just clear cache and "poof" its back to normal.

Yea, I wasn't too happy with the setup, but... I only found out about the brightness thing after testing it out on a i9000 too. Tried a more automated approach, but doesn't produce the same results as regular presses. I'll upgrade the setup process when I find a better solution.
Thanks for the logs, I tried reproducing the problem, but didn't get a force close, but I think I might know what the problem might be.
Will get to work on that.
lol the font looks really really cute.
I'm still not able to reproduce the forceclose, but thanks to the logs, I believe I fixed the problem. One of them was leftover code I missed removing which strangely wasn't causing me any problems.
The other... should be fixed.
You'll see an update soon.

I'm currently fixing up the call lock right now.
There wasn't a disable stock lockscreen feature because it was supposed to disable the stock lockscreen automatically. However, that only seems to be working on the phones I'm testing on and strangely, the phones I can test on won't show the stock lockscreen, but some others does.
I'll be doing some more work into this part.
Update
New update out. Fixed up the calling. Now, the incoming call and incall screens won't be locked up. After call, it will lock back up. This works if you press the power button to turn off too.
New Feature. Find it in experimental setting. New feature affects the screen time out. Now, if you want, the Screen Timeout will lock with Void Lock instead of turning off the screen. Good feature for those like me who uses the WakeLock and avoids using the power button.
I forgot to disable my other lock screen and now seem to be locked out of my phone. Evo 4g with decks rom. any suggestions?
Great dev! can't wait for it to work completely on ICS
Couple of issues
evo 3d: when going to uninstall the uninstall screen flashes like crazy, buttons are highlighted (force stop, clear data, move to sd, uninstall) and blinking, takes several taps before you can get it uninstalled.
evo 4g: also when uninstalling it flashes, sometimes you have to clear data, move to SD card, then uninstall
it's one of the oddest things I've ever seen... and no, I'm not the one who left the nasty market comments.

Wow! that's also one of the oddest things I've heard about.
But, I can't imagine why it would happen. None of my code goes beyond the lockscreen and shouldn't affect the uninstalling at all. I just did an uninstall on my phone, tablet, and old phones to see if I get the same issue, but it was able to be uninstalled properly.
The only uninstall issue I know of is that the app is granted Device Admin status after the first time you press the Void Lock app, but that will only give you an Uninstall is not Successful message instead of the issues you are having.
Also odd that it happened to both of your phones.
I can't seem to think of why that uninstalling problem happened and I'm 100% positive that none of the code for Void Lock will affect the uninstalling. But if all that flashing and etc happens only when you are uninstalling Void Lock then Void Lock should definitely be the culprit. Its so strange...
Hmm, could it be related to your rom?
I also never had to clear data or move to SD card to uninstall it. Just disable device admin in the phone's Security Settings and then uninstall it and it'll work properly.
I'm not too worried about the market comments. I guess I expect it because of all the incompatibility issues I have not been able to predict when I released it. Yet, it does work for a lot of phones so I wouldn't even know which phones to restrict. All the problems seems to be coming from manufacturers making changes to the default lockscreen. Still working on fixing all of that right now.
I am a bit upset at those nasty market comments that rates low because of not being able to uninstall. I did give instructions in the market description. I guess I'll need add a new tab in the Settings to describe how to uninstall.
nice lockscreen.
I have my status bar almost ICS'd, but I noticed that one of the last problems is the spacing between like the WiFi, 4G, Signal, Battery, and Clock icons is further apart than in ICS. One of the reasons I noticed is that the 4G icon is 4G with a signal bar beside it instead of combined like pictured. I tried changing it with Rom Toolbox with no luck. Also, I would like to get my clock font color changed to the ICS blue, as well as figure out how to apply the Rugular Roboto font to it because it seems the bold one currently is applied to the clock. Any suggestions for these issues?

And the 3 bars resonating off the 4g is the 4g signal strength. Isn't that redundant as the wifi signal icon also tells me my wifi strength?

No sir
The bars "resonating" off the 4g are just indicators that the data connection is active, the blue signal bars indicate the wifi connection is active and show it's signal strength....the signal bars next to the battery show how strong your 4g strength is. The redundant part is having both wifi and data active at the same time.

Yea, that makes sense. Well I thought that because when looking through the framework-res I noticed there was sys_4g_signal(1-4) that looked as if they were there to represent signal strength. I just want an exact replica of the ICS status bar! :O How could I go about deactivating the 4G icons when wifi is enabled?

The 4g icon is gonna be there so long as there is 4g available in your location, but you can turn off the data connection and get rid of the 4g signal bars by going to settings/battery&data manager/data delivery and unticking "data enabled".
Or you could install HiAPN and place it's data toggle on your homescreen. Or you could use the drop down toggles in your ROM, it would be the icon showing the up and down arrows.
Blur overrides the default .png's for the 4G icon which is why ROM Toolbox doesn't work. If you want to get the right icons then look in /system/app/SystemUI and/or /system/framework/framework-res for the signal icons that start with "zz_moto". However, you would also need to do some XML editing to remove the icon that says "4G".
The clock's font color is located in framework-res/res/values/styles.xml in the entry "StatusBar.Icon."
Or, you can take the easy route

Has anyone tried this and confirmed it to work cause I did and couldn't get it to run. But I could have been doing something wrong as well Was hoping it would work for my lil project........
That deblur script looks interesting. Am I right in thinking this would best be run on a factory reset stock rooted phone instead of on one of our current ROMs?

I haven't tried it but I am using the list of .apks that it removes and it works well if you don't go on a mass-deleting frenzy .

But the problem lies when you delete a blur app and try to replace it with another. I've learned more then I wanted to know in the last 3 weeks
I would think the deblur would be no good in terms of an official update from Motorola. I'm freezing stuff and will defrost before an update. Unless we get CM7 OR CM9 then its a whole new ballgame.

Of course there's always the factory reset route in any case I guess. That's what's so fun about these devices. Choices, options, customization...

Once we got our FXZ I got very proficient in getting back to stock and not by means of choice
To move forward you just have to take a leap, somethings work and then a LOT doesn't.... LOL
That's too funny. I don't have windows so I know nothing about FXZ or RSD light (did I even spell that stuff right). I've only had to pull the battery - just the other day in fact from a boot loop. Then it put me back into CWM recovery-on-boot. Then it was a small matter of restoring my backup. I'd probably be a bit more adventurous if I had experience recovering in LINUX. I know its possible (and documented somewhere) I just haven't had the need. (Yet)

CWM on boot is a necessity if your are flashing a lot or modifying your phone. Once you find something you like just flash the removal zip and your good to go.
I've tried verything I know to get the gps fully functioning along side of it but they just dont want to coexist :\
VictoryRom is the only ROM I've tried that coexists with CWM Recovery on Boot. IIRC

Victory Rom doesnt have init.d support enabled so that may have something to do with it

The developer of the script had an a2 owner confirm it works. I'm assuming it was on straight up stock.Haven't had any real reason to try it personally, but I always keep track of potentially useful mods.you should see my subscribed threads

Well Korea got another firmware update this morning. The update never gave details but here is what I've found so far:
In the settings under Device, there is now an "Auto open apps" option. Basically when you scroll through your apps list, whatever app you stop on will automatically open.
Also in the settings under "connections" there's an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
Under the display setting there's now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
Also some bloatware was added. Apps added were a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There's also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled thankfully.
There's a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you've viewed the notification. Only works if you don't have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
Cosmetic differences:
now says "add widget" under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there's an option to "Add template" now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.

The screen timeout option was the thing I was waiting for. Good they have it now.
Thx for sharing.
How are the updates rolled out? Seems that austria does not get much love from Sammy...
Is there a way to force the update?

Any update on sleep monitoring?

I noticed small cosmetic changes inside the S-health app, but nothing else beyond that. I've found nothing related to sleep monitoring.
Also checked yesterday to see if a reminder can be set using S-Voice, and that is also still broken.
I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

In SHealth I'm able to swipe/twist to the right and get to the music controller, which then returns to SHealth when I press the back button.
Coming from Pebble I expected apps to be persistent and not just to have the watch exit home to the watchface everytime the display times out. It's really nice to have a persistent app for a music player. I could adjust the track or volume without looking at my wrist. And it's also greatly needed for the stopwatch. A settings option for persistent apps would be great.
My Gear app updated this morning, I see no change in the watch. The app on the phone has a whole new layout, but nothing has changed on the watch. Still shows the same J3 software version. I rebooted the watch and nothing. Do I have to reboot my phone? I hate to try this as it always breaks my weather app and I have to totally uninstall all gear apps on the phone and factory reset the watch to get it working again.

If it's not a Korean Watch, just be patient. The app was updated, but they have not pushed the new firmware out to the rest of the world. To confirm this, go to Settings->About Gear->Update Gear Software->Update now.

Ah, I understand now. Thanks, got to excited to soon.
display time out
So I got the update on my classic watch, there is 5 new watchfaces.
There is also a new option on the display settings so now you can choose the time from 15 sec up to 5 min.
If i set the display timeout on 5 min it's nothing change...
So I do not understand what the problem is or the new options mean???
Could anyone help me?

You guys are lucky.
In korea some devices that are updated got stuck at booting logo.
I think it will be soon fixed and then you can get this update.

I agree there should be a long press top button feature. The way I deal with this problem is I set long press home to the music player. Then to access apps you press home then press home again.
Encrypted Phone
So I have the Nexus 5X, aka phone is encrypted.
My watch is from Korea and the app does have an update, but I get the error message that it cannot install because phone is encrypted. Any solutions?
My Gear Fit, which isn't actually Tizen, but resembles it a bit, has an option for what you want to do after timeout - return to watch face, or remain on last app. Very handy, and Samsung could certainly add this option, since they already know how it works.

Some decent additions there, but I was really hoping Sleep Tracking would be included.

On the lock screen a full screen ad appears within 3 seconds. I hate it. Is this normal?
I've tried disabling a bunch of stuff,changing permissions, notification options, etc, nothing seems to get rid of it. Anyone else had this issue, and found out what causes it or find a way to fix it?
Not normal. At least it wasn't for me (U11 Unlocked)
On other phones, this was usually due to either ES File Explorer or any of the GO apps like GOSMS, etc. Try uninstalling those if you have them.
News Republic is known to serve ads too. you mind showing the ad on your lockscreen? Some of them contains hints of which app is serving them.
Also include a list of apps so maybe we can identify which is the culprit if any of us tried it before.

I think I found what the problem is while looking on the Play store at the Sense Home app. Different ad, but same thing.

I could be wrong because I'm not very smart, but I think this means its baked into the launcher, with no option to actually stop it. Tried clearing all app data, cache etc in airplane mode so it can't get more ads fed to it, but it's still there. Even tried to switch to a standard google launcher but even that didn't get rid of it.
I'm still hopeful that I'm missing something simple here, but also worried that HTC are being giant a-holes forcing ads and not allowing options to remove. Anyone have any other ideas?
By any chance do you have the Yelp App? LOL
also you could try
Settins/Sound ¬ifications/On the lock screen/
Don't show notifications at all
or go to Blinkfeed. Click the + sign and uncheck Mealtime recommendations.
Could just be sense home. Have you tried to disable ads in the launcher? If it still happens, then it's a third party app causing the lockscreen ads.
In order to get rid of notification apps that pop up in the upper left corner, all you have to do is swipe down to show the ads, then longpress on the particular app thats really pissing you off, and a menu will show and then select "never show again". That news republic used to piss me off all the time when it pops up and there was no other way to get rid of it. Its gone now,,,,lol. Anyway, try that method.

Thanks. I don't have yelp, and have tried that setting. Don't have meal recommendations on either.
OK I think I fixed it now. Pretty annoying.
It's counter-intuitive, but I had to actually enable mealtime recommendations in blinkfeed so that all the other stuff I turned off could override it, for some stupid reason.
Scratch that. It somehow un-fixed itself. This is driving me insane!!
Something to do with HTC and Yelp being in bed with each other, as I don't have yelp or anything on my phone. It still shows up whether I have mealtime recommendations or ads allow or disallowed or any combination of the above.
Be good if they would provide a simple/transparent way of blocking this s#!t. I really can't think of anything else to try.....
It's not news republic? That's the only thing I've seen do that

Yeah i got that the one time i signed into HTC account and turned on location for it. It started giving me lunch time recommendations etc. I dont normally use HTC account, just google, but thought i would try it on 11. Quickly did new setup and didn't sign in to HTC.

Thanks for that. Worked. I had to go though sense companion setup again to remove the account, but it worked. Took a bit of time afterwards for the ad to disappear, but it hasn't come back since.
Flashlight
I have an HTC U11 that started showing full screen ads (after about 3 seconds viewing the lockscreen, an ad appears suggesting a nearby restaurant) on the lockscreen. After trying everything I found online, I finally took someone's advice and disabled the Flashlight app. Yes, the Flashlight app that's installed when you get the phone. I didn't think it would work, but it did. Give it a try.
I have flashlight installed and use it multiple times a day via the squeeze function... I'd be very surprised if it's that.
Op, post a screenshot of all your installed apps if this problem still persists.
It sounds like you may have already figured it out. But this is likely the Sense Companion app. Which you can disable under settings - apps.
To my knowledge, the Sense Companion is what causes the lock screen suggestion that is pictured in the OP's screenshot.
Edit: Didn't realize that I repeated the post from the person above me.
