Unknown icon on the status bar - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could anyone tell what's the meaning of the highlighted icon and how I can get rid of it?
It's next to a speaker icon, so don't confused.
Thanks

Accidentally thanked your post...what is the icon? There is no attachment or anything.

NFC?

I just noticed that the image was not attached. Sorry. The image is here i67.tinypic.com/2gws469.png (copy and aste in browser - new account I am not allowed to post links...)

Have you got any other dialler apps installed? Everything stock? Is that icon always there or only when you are connected to a call

The icon is always there. There's no other dialer app installed. I have my phone for about 2 days. Uninstalled all the bloatware that came from carrier.

What variant of the S6 do you have?
If it's G920K, G920S or G920L, the icon is normal.
If you have one of the other variants (G920F or G920I), the icon has something to do with accessibility and/or hearing aid settings. I had a similar icon on my Galaxy S3.

Just got a reply from Samsung tech support. It seems it's the icon for VoLTE: voice over LTE. Nothing to be changed in settings, just a network dependent feature which enhances the quality of the voice calls

[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.

A few questions regarding the notification dropdown

I just got my Verizon Galaxy S6 and I love it after debloating it with CleanROM Lite and disabling any unnecessary apps. I have a couple questions regarding the dropdown menu though.
Here's what mine currently looks like: https://i.imgur.com/sArnGjj.png
My questions are,
1. Can I hide that charging notification? I don't need a notification to know that my phone is being charged. It's pointless and takes up space.
2. Is there a way to change the name of buttons on the quick settings panel? The 'Mobile Hotspot' button takes up two lines which I don't like.
3. Is there a way to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the bottom of the notification drawer? I remember being able to do this on my Galaxy S3 a long time ago, so I'm wondering if it's still possible.
Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is for you to root and flash extreme syndicate rom. Alliance framework I believe you can change the Verizon text and you can remove the text from the toggles period. I don't know of a solution for the charging notification at the moment.

No Direct SMS Widget

So it appears that samsung has changed something and therefore there is no direct SMS widget, only contact and call. Odd, if I restore a Nova Desktop from my G2, it will show a direct message widget. Any idea how to get one. I liked the circle picture ones.
Heres a close replacement I found - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...rdirectdial&rdid=com.bashmak.betterdirectdial
Seems to work Ok, it would be better if the icon had the phone number type shown...

Where's My Yellow Dot?

Can anyone help.? I have seen others have the Yellow Dot showing they have unread notifications. I have the S2 for T-Mobile. Just got it. I don't get that dot for unread notifications. Anyone else have this issue? What did you do to resolve it or could you not resolve it? I am running the most current software too so I am up-to-date. Thanks!
I'm assuming you have activated the yellow dot notification in your Gear Manager app settings?
Notifications > Notification Indicator
Do you have apps selected to send notifications to your watch?

The 3g version hasn't received the update yet.

I just got the bluetooth version and its updated to the latest software. I have the option checked in both the gear app and on the phone. Have tried factory resetting the watch and also clearing data on the gear app. I can't seem to get the yellow dot. Any suggestions?
Update: I figured out that if the "turn on screen" option is enabled in gear manager, then it automatically dismissed the yellow dot, the same way it does if you go over to the notification screen and back to the watch face (but without actually clearing the notification).
Anybody know if this is a bug, a recent change, or has it always been like that?
@Lancerz
I have the sim enabled version on T-Mobile and I have the dot. You need to activate it in settings.

So I guess you didn't see the date that I posted that? The 3G version from Tmobile has only had the update for maybe 2 weeks now.
I tried everything in this post and a few others on this forum and nothing works for galaxy note 4
Fixing yellow dot on your Samsung gear S2
This is such an easy fix!!! Go to your device (for example I have Galaxy s4) and go to your gear app and go to notifications and scroll down to turn on or off the yellow dot.

Unwanted notification icon of mobile data connection on HTC E8

Hi everyone!
I just bought a new HTC E8 Dual Sim from Hong Kong, which arrived already rooted and almost clean from manufacturer apps. However, I am going crazy over a notification icon that is completely useless.
Every time my phone connects to mobile data, a strange notification would appear, showing two arrows, one black and one white, pointing one up and one down, on the top left corner. This notification is pointless, as I can see the device is connected by looking at the right side of the status bar, right next to the signal bars where a nice H+ is displayed. This notification only shows CONNECTED if looked while the screen is locked.
Unfortunately I can't post screenshot as this is my first thread, if someone knows how I can attach screenshots, please let me know.
Apparently this notification is generated by the app PHONE, whose notifications cannot be disabled (the checkbox is greyed out into the normal settings pane) and cannot be frozen using Link2SD (otherwise both SIMS stop working the device ceases to work as a phone).
If I force stop the app the icon would disappear straight away, but would reappear again at the following mobile data connection, just as nothing happened.
I've tried to download XPOSED ADDITIONS to see if I could get some more tools to work on it, but it seems not to work on this device; if I tap on it, an error message prompts saying "The XposedAdditions System Service is currently not enabled" and some other stuff I couldn't get rid of.
Can someone help me remove that notification?
Thanks guys!
Mike
