How do I enable the status bar in the stock Browser - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Is there a way to always keep the status bar on when using the stock Sense browser? I ask because I like to look at the Wifi/3G icon to see that I'm actually receiving or sending data, also would be nice to see if I jumped back to 2G or something.

Have you enabled quick controls by any chance? If yes disable them. I find the implementation in Sense stock rather inconvenient but ICS+ actually has it right.

[Q] Disable SMS and missed calls notifications from status bar

Like the title says, I wanna know if there is an solution to hack android (2.2) to not display notifications in status bar when a SMS is received or a call is missed.
I simply don't want them because I use LauncherPro: it can display very well this kind of notifications in the dock icons so the status bar ones are unneeded. Also, I don't wanna hide status bar, I need it for other notifications like 3G watchdog, WiFi etc.
With a simple Google search doesn't seems to find something useful.
Thanks in advance!
for messages its easy just go to message and settings then disable the notifications and for calls im not sure this might solve half your issue

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I knew about this setting but it has a problem: it disable the sound notification of a new received SMS. So, it affects not just the notification in status bar.
It is really interesting that few people have asked this request. In fact, disabling this kind of notification (in a case of using an HOME app capable to do that too) is a matter of looking good. It should look „iPhonesque”
right right now i understand what you fully mean,
well i disabled it and just use sms pop up from the market by dev Adam K.
its free you should check it out maybe it will help
(i am no way affiliated with him nor do i know who it is just an app i like)

Well, thanks. But I'd like to use the stock messaging app instead of that. It seems that this is not a truly interesting kind of modding.
Right
Well thought I'd throw some suggestions out there

Notifications bar

I know Asus probably felt like they just had to bring their contribution to ICS, but the minute I saw the noticiations bar I realised this just couldn't have made by Google (too ugly, doesn't fit in and laggier than the stock one). So is there any way to get the stock ICS notifications back?
Maybe you should take a look at the settings before asking a stupid question like this.
lol would anyone like me to port these to ics?

Go into settings, select ASUS customized setting, then under notification panel uncheck Use ASUS Quick Setting.
After this it shows the old honeycomb notifications bar, what i dont unterstand is, why you can't deactive notifications in the new asus bar.
To remove all notifications, tap the X at the bottom of the notification screen.
To remove one notification, swipe from left to right on that notification and it is gone.
I don't mind it tbh.

[Q] Message Preview on Lock Screen

Hello,
I have not found this question about the sensation but apologies if I have missed it.
I am just wondering if there is a way of disabling the message preview on the lock screen but leaving it so it DOES still show on the status bar. I like the fact that you can read a message 'in app' as it scrolls across the status bar but don't like the idea of the message popping up and staying on the screen if you leave my phone sat on a desk!

messages>settings>notifications>untick notification preview
this way will also toggle the status bar preview
Thank you for the reply but...
As I mentioned, I still like the status bar notification preview but don't want the lock screen preview. It's my understanding that your suggestion turns off both?
It will turn off both... I think its not possible with HTC lockscreen (atm) but you can use an additional Lockscreen like Widgetlocker.
I thought that may be the case, I know it can be done on galaxy sII.
Thank you though.
settings-privacy- then untick it

I was looking for this too since it was available in Gingerbread (sense 3.0) but i think it's not available in sense 3.6! This is what i did: I unticked the option in privacy settings and then i flashed shnizlon's AOSP theme and chose to install ONLY aosp status bar with toggles! Now i have sense with AOSP staus bar ( which i prefer ) and messages are shown on the status bar but not in HTC lockscreen! You should know that when you flash this mod it automatically replaces the Sense settings with the aosp one so you must UNTICK the option in privacy settings before you flash the mod OR change the same option in messages settings!

[Q] [VZW] Power widget in notification area, Weird icon near clock.

Hey all,
I've got a Verizon SGS3 and I had a couple questions.
1. The notification power widget. It's got so much stuff and it takes up a lot of room on the notification shade. Is there a way to eliminate it or remove some of the useless ones? I never use bluetooth.
2. There's also a weird icon next to my 4G icon near the clock. Anyone know what it is? http://i.imgur.com/Cat4R.png And if I can get rid of it?
Also, bonus question: A way to remove all the useless ****ing share options for pictures/other files? I will never use S-Memo, Color, Group Cast, Messaging, Backup-assistant plus to share any of this ****. Go away.
Me too!
I have disabled everything I can think of and this icon will not go away!

I believe that's the "Wi-Fi Notification" icon that is persistent in Verizon SGS3 phones.
The only way currently known to disable it is to root the phone and modify a database value use a SQLite Editor.

Giving my phone to my daughter, need some help

I went ahead and went back to stock 4.1.2, rooted and trwp just in case. In any case coming from CM10, which allows me to adjust anything, this rom sucks. My main problem is the top down slide down menu with all the icons to turn on wifi, bluetooth, etc. I want to get rid of some of those and just have wifi, airplane, gps, and screen rotation, I don't need the rest but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get rid of them or adjust that bar. Any help would be appreciated. The second thing is the notification area get's filled up too quickly, especially when mails come in. I just want sms/mms notifications there and no mail notifications , an indicator of new mail on the top bar is sufficient. Thanks a bunch...
Jeff
Since you're rooted, you can get Xposed Framework to get most/all your customizations, including your toggles.
You should be able to stop individual apps from posting notifications in the app info settings. I think that came around in 4.1, hopefully Samsung/AT&T/Rogers didn't disable that for whatever reason. If I understand you correctly, though, you don't want any email notification in the shade but you still want something in the bar? Not sure how to go about that, but you can always get a launcher with an unread count that shows up on the email icon.
