Anyone know what this is? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Yeap, WiFi calling.

I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.

There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.

I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀

[requesting help] When the 3G icon inverts, cannot make/receive calls but can sms

Look at the screenshot below. The one on top is the norm and everything is nice and dandy. However, randomly at times, the 3G icon will invert to the logo below. When this happens, no one can call me and I cannot make any calls. I cannot find anything that triggers this and I don't know where to find support.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
This thing can be "fixed" but turning off the phone and turning it on again in Comm Manager or a soft reset but there's no telling when it will happen again. It has caused me some headaches because urgent calls cannot get through to me.
My phone is a HTC Touch 3G (Jade) but the icon seems like a Windows Mobile icon so I've posted it here instead of the Jade forum.
Does anyone know anything about this? This is the stock ROM that came with the Jade.

Google services framework Spyware?

Everyone knows Google knows where you're at if you have location enabled but can someone tell me what the heck this is? I noticed it when turning things off using my rOM Toolbox "auto start manager" but when you uncheck this one resets itself later... you basically cannot turn it off....
is it trying to monitor whether you have any gay or lesbian activity on your phone and where your location is at? Really?

OMG
Never noticed this but after you said it !!!!!!!
Looks like google really is spying on our activities.....
really google wtf are you upto......
Yeah it sounds like people don't know what to think about this one, I was hoping someone could tell me something legitimate about it, of course when you do a Google search it brings up nothing.... What a coincidence!
I haven't tried searching with bing yet but that's what I thought

[Q] Video Chat

My Galaxy s6 is an unlocked G920i.
When I open my contacts app and select a contact there is camera button between the call and text icon.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I tap the camera button it looks like its starting a video call.
then it fails.
and just says call ended
Anybody know how to make this work? Whats strange is that my wife also has a GS6 but hers is the AT&T Version and does not have the camera icon so I thought maybe it was just a unlocked feature but when I was at Best Buy they had AT&T and Verizon versions on display and they all had the button too except for 2 of them. So... does anyone know how to make it work or what app is needed to make it run? Also, does anyone know why some phones have it while others dont?
Bump... come on guys. I need help.

I don't think this is a default notification.
You can find all default notifications here http://eguides.sprint.com/support/e.../samsung_galaxy_s8_s8_plus_ug/status_bar.html
I think that the 'N' comes from a third-party app. Have you installed any apps lately?

I think he's talking about the icon hovering over his home button.
You shouldn't ask the same question in multiple places on the same forum.
It looks like the circle and X you drag chat heads to to remove them off the screen when you're using Facebook Messenger.

Im using Nova launcher, i was talking about the "x" that pop up on my home button.
Ps: i'm using AT&T not sprint

Watch4 request notification permission despite having permission already

I've got my Watch4 a while ago, after some struggles I managed to set it up just fine. Now, every day or so, I get a notification saying the watch needs permission to notifications to show them on the watch. However, I already have given it this permission. It can be solved by turned off and on the permission, but I'd rather not do this every day..
Anyone know what could be causing this?
Screenshots of the problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is a common problem with MIUI.
This happens with my Mi Band 5 as well.
The solution to this is to Lock the app in memory. To do so, bring up recents menu, press and hold your fitness app and click the small lock. This will prevent it from being cleared and also prevent the security app from clearing it during boosting.
Also make sure you never clear the app from recents manually.
All the best.
