Gear S2 always displays an icon at watch - Samsung Gear S2

Hi,
I bought my Gear S2 yesterday, and it works great!
The only thing so far though, is that is constantly displays an icon on top of the watch widget. Right now it is the icon for 'standalone'.
I wonder if it is possible to remove this icon from here, because it is already at the dropdown tray.
All the images I have seen of the watch in use does not have this icon displayed, so there has to be a way to disable this.
Any suggestions?
So I found out right after I posted this question that there is no icon there when it is connected to my phone using bluetooth. But seeing as I would like to use the Gear S2 standalone as well, I would appreciate if anyone knew if it is possible to turn of this icon when the phone is in 'standalone' mode.
Thank you in advance

Probably it is not possible for now. That icon acts like signal/network indicator on phone

I'm not a fan of the stand alone mode icon on the watch face. I don't want to have my phone connected all the time and the icon looks terrible on the watch face. There is a whole pull down screen for watch mode icons. It would be great if there was an app that removed any icons from being displayed on the watch face and allowed us to customize what icons we want displayed on the pull down screen.

Yes same question i got...
Is there a way to remove this icon.?

Only way is connecting through bluetooth

Problem with htc desire( Pics included)

Yesterday morning I noticed something strange with the home screen on my desire. The problem doesn't occur on any other of my screens. I hope somebody might be able to help.
The problem - at the very bottom of the screen there is a black rectangle between the white phone icon on the left and the white web icon on the right. See Pic labelled 3. I appreciate its difficult to see but the other photos are better.
The problem appears to be linked to the notification bar. I'm using launcher pro and I'm hiding the notification bar. I have it so when I swipe the app icon the notification bar becomes visible. However, since this morning when I reveal the notification bar with a swipe of the app icon the black rectangle at the bottom moves up and becomes more obvious? See pics labelled 1 and 2. Its almost like an overflow of the notification bar from the top to the bottom of the screen.
The black rectangle only appears on one screen. I updated extended controls app yesterday. However, I didn't uninstall before updating and my phone went a bit funny. So I uninstalled it and installed it and everything was fine.
Last night I went to use a post it widget. But the widgets had vanished? Even though I have the app installed. So I uninstalled and installed. But again the widgets have disappeared again?
The the extended control app is unusable today . I have emailed the makers of extended controls but haven't heard anything from them yet.
I have turned the phone on and off a couple of times but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Note doesn't have volume notification icon...

Does anyone know how to get an icon in the notification bar indicating whether the Note 10.1 is in silent, vibrate, or sound on mode? My android phones have always had this and I guess I'm accustomed to it because I'm always looking to the Note's bar and only seeing Wifi and battery.
Any ideas (yes, I know i can just open the notification tray, but that's not what I'm trying to do...)? Thanks!

Nobody on here has wanted to do this or found a way to? Or does it even make sense what's being asked? For example, from the lockscreen, there is no indication of whether the volume is on, or it's in vibrate or silent. Thanks again!

That's a widget thing only. Remove it in back-screen-setting.

i want to say , its Status bar ( download icon, wifi, clock, gsm,...) not is widget notification.
I fully second this. Also after like an hour of inactivity, clocks on the EPD stop updating properly. For example its 01:21, but the clocks on my Y3+ (updated from Y3) still show 01:03. Only the clock on the status bar are correct, but first of all, I don't want the status bar on my EPD, and secondly they are too small to consider them convenient at that point anyway.
Would really, really love to hear about solutions to both of those issues :-| The status bar has no reason to exist on the back of the phone. I just wish Y3+ was just a Y2 in regards to the EPD.
workaround for me is to enable the lockscreen with the second screen app but just leave it empty - so I just get a blank white screen with the locked icon and nothing else - most importantly: no statusbar.
most of the apps I use on the e-ink side have fullscreen support, so it doesnt annoy me during actual use.
but yeah, bit of a weird thing to not give us any settings for.
Ye, for me, the "actual use" for a phone with always on screen is seeing a nic clock (and other info) on its back. Thats the most important, seeing clock/weather/notifications/potentially other widget thingies (I inda liked the step countner on the chinese version). But the status bar is something that's not usable "at a glance", its too small for that so it has no place there.
But lately, I'm most annoyed by the clocks not updating properly when the phone is in sleep mode for a few hours, I can't trust the clock anymore, f*ck I hate that about it so much.

It's a late response, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with the time sync problem. I miss the YotatHub clock and battery widgets :-(
I finally discovered how to fix it:
Go to Settings -> Battery -> Click upper right 3 dots -> Choose 'Battery optimization' -> Choose clock app -> Click 'Don't optimize' -> Click 'Done' and you're done! Now your clock will always update

Every notification is grey (desaturated)

Hi
I've noticed few days ago that my notifications doesn't have colors. I mean normally app icon should be in color, like on the phone itself. But now they look like saturation was set to 0%. Even this notification thing that pops from top of the screen is grey. Every other aspect of the watch looks normal. It doesn't matter from what app notification comes from. It could be e-mail, sms, Steam or payment app. I tried to restart watch of course. It's SM-R760, running Tizen 4.0.0.7.
The icon from attached photo should have blue background.
Have you encountered something like this before? Any suggestion on how can I do something with it?
