[Q] Strange Notification Icon - HTC Sensation

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.

What is this icon (custom taskbar)

I hope this isnt too dumb of a question but could anyone help me identify what this icon is? This is from the darkstar port. I thought maybe it was wifi, but enabled it and noticed its not. So I have no idea...It said evdo before, but I could of swarn it says "1x" like the stock traskbar. The icon to the left of the signal bars:
EDIT: Its not a signal indicator either. Since it now says EvDo after the signal bars but that checker board icon is still there to the left of EvDo. (not in the picture). But this confirms its not evdo or 1x icon.
there is a Slacker Radio and a Screeble icon there. Hope that helps.

It definitely helps, thank you. So after I close slacker is it suppose to close? Because it doesnt seem to be going away.
Go into it i guess you can prbly close it by pressing the menu.. Same thing with SNESoid leaves itself up there so you can talk or text freely without losing your place.
Which icon are you referring to? The one to the right of the signal bars is the battery icon. If it is an icon that says EVDo then it is your mobile connection icon.
The icon to the left of the signal bars, sorry if it was written wrong. And no not the evdo its the checkerboard icon.
It looks like the icon that comes on when you have vibrate turned on. Long press the red end button and turn off vibrate.

You are absolutely right. Funny thing is I was just today using slacker, so when that solution was posted I assumed that was right.
Thanks ElAguila and thanks everyone else....it was a dumb question after all.

how to remove mobile data notification

i always get this notification to connect to mobile data when i reboot the tablet or when i use honeybar to show the status bar after it was hidden. it's annoying. how do i remove this notification?
you could turn off notifications in the system panel. You probably dont want to do that though. Do you get the notification when you are connected to a mobile network? Is the message about the date/time is not set automatically,etc.?
I could understand after a reboot, if it is just slow to load and connect at boot.
I dont see why you would get this after toggling honeybar.
hi chris,
turning off notifications doesn't help. everytime the tablet boots or the status bar re-appears (as a result of honeybar) i get this notification "mobile connection is currently disabled. you need to connect to mobile data to use data applications... blah blah blah". you don't get this message in your version of the tab plus? btw i flashed your ics theme it works fine but i have a small problem, check the theme thread
so it just the notification? or do you actually see your signal drop?? did you just get this device? someting leads me to believe it may be network/connection related. rather than actual software bug? how is your mobile settings configured in settings?

Just nitification. No signal drop. Im on wifi. I want to get rid if the notification asking me to turn on mobile data evrytime i restore status bar using honeybar
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA
its not a bug.. the problem is because of the method used to call/show back the status bar. i read somewhere* it have to reload something** to show the status bar.
* i forgot where i read it
** and i forgot what it reloads too
lol
never happened to me with honeybar 1.5

Symbol in top left corner

This could be a dumb post, but a couple days ago this circular symbol appeared in the top left-hand corner, in the notifications bar. It looks like an indicator that GPS is running, but why did it appear and not go away for 2 days now? Also, disabling GPS and Google location doesn't make it go away. WTH? Lol
I am on the newest update, 77.8.14.

That's not GPS...
GPS looks like a target. The icon you are questioning about looks like a wrench...
You don't see anything when you pull down the notification bar...? Did you install any new apps recently? That is odd for sure.

Ah ok, there is no indication of it when i pull down the notification bar, and when i clear all notifications, the symbol does not go away.
I was in an area the other day that had lousy service, and i've noticed this device does not seem to handle that situation well, in terms of reconnecting when there is service, etc. Not sure if it is related to that or not.
Definitely odd, this is my first time seeing that symbol. I'm trying to think of any new apps i might have installed... i did update about 16 apps the other day, it must be one of those...

Have you tried restarting the phone?
I haven't seen that symbol before, but I can call tell ya that's not GPS

I actually figured out what it was! You got me thinking about apps, and 1 of the 16 i updated the other day was Notification Toggle. For some reason this time it put that symbol up there by default after the update. I always had it turned off so i had never seen it before
Its the sprInt zone update notification
It's definitely the Notification Toggle app.. when i freeze that app the symbol goes away. And i don't even have Sprint Zone installed
Yup, That is notification toggle. One of the more recent updates changed the notification bar behavior options, and reset the icon. Under settings for the app you can change the icon style, there is a transparent option if you don't want it to show at all, otherwise there's various battery icon styles that will tell you exact battery %.

[Q] Unknown notification icon

Hi,
A strange and unknown icon occasionally appears in my notification bar. It lasts few seconds and then disappears. No notification seems to be associated to the icon nor specific process at first sight. I usually notice it when I use YouTube, sometimes Maps, but its appearance is rather random; so I can't be more precise.
See the small gray dot at the top left corner of the joined screenshot.
Have you ever noticed this icon ? Do you known what it is ?
I'm interested to know more by curiosity than real inconvenience.
Thank you.

I've never seen that specific icon, but I have seen other icons that were weird. I ran an app that you can get from the playstore called AirPush Detector and it told me about a rogue app that was putting notifications in my status bar. Maybe try that out.
I often have that icon when I have a notification and I start an app. Its usually just showing you that there is a notification. It could just be that there is a notification for certain apps that pops up and then disappears

It still seems very strange to me.
Thank you for your answers.

I haven't activated Google Now yet. So I don't think it comes from it.

What is this icon on the Status Bar?

I was messing around with the massive amounts of option on the Galaxy S7. I noticed later on that an lighting icon appeared on my status bar but I have no idea what it means and its kinda driving me crazy lol.
Anyone have an idea what is it? Thanks!
Hey, to me it looks like a setting called Download Booster, it combines your Wi-Fi + Cellular data to increase your download speed.
