Settings? - Sprint Note 7 Questions & Answers

Man I've been away from android for a good year and a half. But is there no setting anymore to turn off the battery percentage in the notification bar? I can't find it anywhere. I hate seeing the percentage and the battery.
And the back/switcher buttons down below. You used to be able to have them always off, always on, or change the time etc. Can't find that either. Maybe I'm just lost. Seems there used to be a lot more options in settings. Lol

Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > open menu and click on Advanced Settings > Percentage on Status Bar
Will let you hide the percentage icon and have only the battery icon itself.

This app will allow you to control your button lights.

galaxy s7 nougat status bar

Good day.
I have recently upgraded my S7 to Nougat and i'm still getting used to the new interface.
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to change the number of items on the left in the status bar before it puts the ... simbol?
Example in the attached pic.
Thank you.
I don't think it's an option, but this is really cool and easy. Instead of having slot of icons you can just swipe down the notifications panel.

Thank you for the reply.
Maybe i have explained wrong.
My problem is that i have a traffic monitor with an icon that says the download speed, but because of the other icons, it disappears.

Yes you can either display all notification icon or just 1st three.
1. go to settings.
2. go to display
3. towards the bottom you will see "status bar" its after AOD, and led indicator.
- there are two settings 1. show only 3 recent followed by "..." and battery.
- you can turn it off or on from there. if off then all icons for notifications should pop up.

Go to settings -> Screen -> Status Bar -> Icon Manager -> Volume
It will show the icon that you want
Thanks, but as you see after adjusting the settings as you said ( photo)... It only shows the silent icon only when i draw the home screen down ( photo 2)
Hello, any news on this? i'm also missing the status bar icon for "vibrate only" when not using the alert slider.

Too many icons it won't fit. Hide the battery percentage or the battery icon.

Battery Meter Overlay

The Moto G7 has a large notch which can be covered but remains a waste of space. The app 'Battery Meter Overlay' puts a nice battery percentage in that space and looks nice.
I have no connection to this app other than as a pleased user.
kinda wonky
How did you get the battery percentage to be along side the battery icon? On my G7, going to Settings>Battery> Enable Battery Percentage puts the numeric inside the icon. It is virtually unreadable there.
Forgot to add, I'm on stock rom.
Works for me. Thanks

Yes, I have the same question. I just want the percentage, but not inside the battery icon. That one is too small to read. Any suggestions?

It has been awhile but I removed the notch, and it now appears on the outside.
Code:
settings/developer options/display cutout — chose hide.
how'd u remove notch exactjy? where is the dev options?
Steps to add the battery icon next to the battery bar:
1. Go to About phone -> Build number
2. Tap 7 times on the build number continuously - Till there is a toast message that you are now a developer (if it prompts for your pin/password enter that)
3. Now go back and go into System -> Advanced
4. Under Advanced you'll find an option for Developer options
5. Go into Developer Options and search for "display cutout" or "notch"
6. In the display cutout option, select "Hide"
7. Now go back into Settings -> Battery -> Turn on Battery Percentage
8. It will still show inside the battery icon. Need to reboot so as to bring the battery percentage next to the battery icon
9. After restarting your phone, you'll see the battery % next to the battery bar
10. You can now turn off the developer options (Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Developer Options -> Toggle Off) or once again search for display cutout or notch (as mentioned in Step 5) and change it back to System Default
11. Now the battery percentage will be present even after hiding the notch
Note - Please see that after restarting your phone this will be back to inside the battery icon/bar.
Nice try, but this is lost on reboot.

Status bar is hidden

I have no idea how I dit it, but my status bar is hidden. It only shows up when I pull down from the top of the screen. Looks like my phone is in full-screen mode or something like that.
Any idea how I can get my status bar back? I can't find anything in settings.
Did you try rebooting your phone ? Also, is it also happening on the homescreen ?
U activated immersive mode

Did you install an app called "navbar" or even "Fluid navigation gestures" ? If not, try to change your navigation method by going into Settings -> Buttons and gestures -> Navigation bar and gestures, and select another method. Then, comeback to the three buttons method and see if the problem still occurs

Thanks for helping. I haven't installed those apps. If I change my navigation method, even the navigation keys are hidden.
I fixed it with the adb commands in this thread; https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/immersive-mode-t3936671.
Thanks for trying to help me
Glad you found a solution using ADB...however, there is a setting that will hide the NAV bar...go to settings > Buttons & gestures > Navigation bar & gestures > Navigation bar customization > 2nd toggle from the top = Hide the navigation bar.
Using the search feature in settings can help you find all sorts of various settings.

That makes no sense...why would everyone else have that option and you don't?
After you get to the last page = "Navigation bar & gestures" are you saying that at the bottom, under "CUSTOM SETTINGS" that there is no option called = "Navigation Bar Customization????
If not...then I don't know what to tell you...something is amiss here.
You need to choose "Back, Home, Recents first...then it will show up.

I found it, but I use gestures. That's why I didn't see it. But still no option to hide the statusbar. Only an option to hide the navigationbar. But that wasn't the problem . My statusbar was hidden, not my navigation bar.

How to know which app as put up a specific status bar icon?

Hi all!
Does anyone know if there's a built-in way, or an app, that I can use to find out what app has put an icon on the status bar?
For example, there's currently an "alarm clock" icon in my status bar, but I didn't set an alarm on anything. I'm wonder what app placed it there.
Any way I can find out which app did it?
This is on a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact running Android 10.

Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications ?

That'd be great, except it's not a notification, it's not on the notification bar, it's on the status bar (right side). Notification settings doesn't show anything from that side of the bar.
Unless I'm sadly mistaken? Care to elucidate?
- Tim
I'm not on your device so I can't say for certain. Maybe Settings > Display > Status Bar ?

I don't think I've seen any such thing, unfortunately.

Ok, it turns out it was the latest update to DejaOffice - it DOES show alarms/notifications, but since the update, it's showing an alarm icon in the status side of the top/status/notification bar, and not showing a notification. Opening the app does nothing to dispell the alarm icon. I had to go through and kill all of my apps, one at a time, to figure out which app it was.
Now I'll post on the DejaOffice forum about this.
