I have the same icon! It's been driving me nuts. Sometimes it will go away on its own but it always returns...always. Have you figured out what it is?

You can take a look at the official list of Google Material Icons. If it's not listed it's a 3rd party icon meaning that it's either some app in your system or something your service provider installed.

Nope, have not figured it out. Since my phone crashed half a dozen times, I've decided to switch back to stock rom.
This is another thread about this icon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ps/mod-remove-rcs-service-volte-icon-t3362336
Hope it helps.
Thanks man, that's the one. Apparently it's like a super mms service

My Dad recently got a GS3 and has managed to delete the icon for recent calls/call history that was on the far left side of the dock on the home screen. I've figured out that you can simply drag items on and off but I can't find that icon anywhere. I'm an HTC guy so I'm really lost here and would appreciate your help.
Thank

It's the "phone" app.

Ha! Thanks. He just told me the "recent calls" app, never thought it would just be the phone app.
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 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 %.

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.

I haven't activated Google Now yet. So I don't think it comes from it.
I tried Screen Tweaks, which removes only the camera icon, Clean Lockscreen removes carrier logo, but Swipe to Unlock is persistent.
Can anyone point me in the direction of something to remove this (rooted D6616)?
I found this, but it doesn't seem to work on my Z3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51644214&postcount=4
Edit: Got it done...kind of. See 2nd post, keep getting these strange black bars that nobody seems to have in that thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/t...creen-t3028443
http://imgur.com/yvqUvoI
Edit update: I copied the modded keyguard.apk again, removed the text, and installed xBlast tools to make the status and navigation bars transparent. Now, if I'm on my home screen or somewhere the bars are transparent and lock and unlock, the bars are gone. If I lock from anywhere else, the bars are still there.
So now I guess I'm looking at a way to make them transparent on the lockscreen permanently
Bump...just tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/mod-remove-text-lock-screen-t3028443
And it works...sorta. It takes away the text finally, but I have these black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, here's a screenshot:
http://imgur.com/yvqUvoI
I've already tried re-applying the wallpaper and applying a different wallpaper with no luck. Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Would be nice, but I can't as I'm on T-Mobile's D6616 variant. No Lollipop yet and no unlockable bootloader.

Yup, apparently it could be months away. I'm not too sad, as KK with root is everything I could want. Just wish I could get that annoying text to go away properly.

Well I found a method that works, but it adds black bars on the bottom where the nav bar would be, and turns the status bar into solid black.

Maybe.
I am talking about non branded builds.
But anyway it does not matter.
Some people are bothered by the text, I myself...don' t care.
I really don't think this is hopeless...as you can see, I have succeeded in removing the text, but something is incompatible and causing black bars to appear as if I just initiated the notification drawer. I posted a screenshot in the OP. If I knew how to modify the APK myself, I would but I can't seem to find many resources on that.
Hopeful bump! Also update, I copied the modded keyguard.apk again, removed the text, and installed xBlast tools to make the status and navigation bars transparent. Now, if I'm on my home screen or somewhere the bars are transparent and lock and unlock, the bars are gone. If I lock from anywhere else, the bars are still there.

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.
