OK so while playing with my cell I found out that if you hold down where the status bar pops up and slide your finger left or right it adjust the brightness level, just like sliding the bar in the settings menu.
So is this just in the Infinity ROM or a stock feature?
Has this been talked about before?
Is there any other little secrets like this?
Just wondering, lol. Yes its a boring Sunday.

Stock feature. Only works if auto-brightness is turned off.

Thanks for the info. I think I found out about it once before but forgot about it.
Stock feature. A couple more things:
1. back + home = screenshot
2. On the initial setup of the phone, where it says Welcome to Android with the Droid man (ie when you first install Infinity) you can fully bypass the setup by pressing all four corners counterclockwise, starting at the top right.

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 %.

Right now, I have a note 5 and seriously considering buying the LG V10 after seeing the promo of the 200 GB SD card.
I am not a developer myself, but do you foresee the V10 getting cm12 since the G4 is getting it. Specs are pretty close (except the second screen of course). I like the option to go on stock android once in a while without breaking the budget with 2 or 3 phones.

One can only hope. The biggest hurdle is going to be the second screen. If they can find a way to either disable or find a way utilize the screen that would be awesome too

yeah, i am debating getting the v10 from the note 5, not crazy about the pen. only if tmobile has the nexus 6.
Dang, I can't screenshot this as the second screen doesn't appear on the screenshot, but When I swipe up from the status bar while on the home screen it moves the status bar to the second display.
I can see CM 12 or any ROM go this route and I like it! I'll see if i can take a picture with another device.

I am on Nova. I can see CM 12 be like so.
Nova did this for me as well once I chose to hide the status bar. I would love to have my status bar up there permanently.
Doesn't work for me either, using nova.

What version of the v10 are you using? I tried nova and his my status bar but unable to Reigate still. Mostly just curious at this point.
Ok I think I got this. Seems to be repeatable. First off T-Mobile V10, unlocked, rooted, all xposed modules disabled for testing purposes. Hide status bar in nova launcher, the go to phone settings > Display > Home touch buttons > hide home touch buttons > select nova launcher. Your second display will go blank when you are at the launcher screen. No shortcuts, no sig, nothing, tap on it, it should show your status bar for a second or two. When you open an app it'll revert to showing whatever pages you have active.
Really hope CM can utilize the second screen! unused hardware just taking up space on my phone doesn't sound attractive

Same here man. Just got the V10 coming from the Note 5. I liked the Note 5 but didn't love it because there is no hope at all for any CM. Looks like we can get a CM once things pick up.

Ah, ok. This works on anything that hides the home buttons. Just tested with Smart Launcher and it works as well. Also in Play Books the status bar will move to the second screen when tapped. Stays on for a second or two and then fades out.
So, I got CM12 to compile and put me into a boot loop!
Step one done.
Step two: Free my schedule so I can start working on CM12 for the V10.
If any dev has started a Git repo for anything V10 CM12 related, shoot me a message so I could get in on it.

After sleep deprived splashing things together and going through freezing on the splash screen, it got to the splash screen then rebooted itself multiple times.
I consider that a positive incremental step in the wrong direction.
Most of my work is just mirroring the h811 cyanogenmod work and adjusting all relevant settings to the h901.
It is probably not the way to go, but I'm a little crunched on time between work and work.

I get to the splash and then thrown into fastboot mode and stuck there. H901 kernel source is posted, I think that's gonna be the difference. The devices are so similar. I wish I knew more about kernel stuff
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.

Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?

The only icon I can think of that resembles a stick figure is the SMART THINGS icon.

It;s a stick figure, like the stick figure that was coming up on peoples nav bar on 8's and 9's for accessibility settings
it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN THE PINK CIRCLE without the dots under it but its a icon by the clock
When you need a hug. Push this. That makes you more accessible.
here are screeenshots, I got it in action.
It has something to do with one of the apps I enabled in accessibility mode.
Anyway to stop the "check access settings" little guy notification from coming up

If you tap on the icon and bring up that app's notification settings, there may be an option to never notify for accessibility notifications.

Thanks, no clue then. It must be one of the apps, maybe the Galaxy HZ app having access to screen as it shows the stick figure in the notification as well. Check the app in Accessibility settings and try disabling it.
Also, what is the other app with moon and glowing clock? (screenshot attached)..looks cool

Weather neon, TONS of customizations for it, from dozens of widgets of all sizes down to changing colors of every piece individually.
that's just the notification one I liked but there are a ton more, and a big main one with different clocks
it's worth checking out, some stuff is iffy with it tho

My stickfig has a purpose, I can dim the screen at night or brighten it up. The icon comes up when you slide out the 'stick'. You can park this feature anywhere, to enable go to 'visibility enhancements' >>'extra dim'(screenshot is from S22)
So I'm guessing you can disable your stick figure somewhere there as well.
