Just an unknown icon for me - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello everyone!
I just need a quick info since i want to get rid of
an icon in my status bar.
I'm on nougat (latest superstock) on my flat s7 and the
one left to the wifi icon won't go away..
it's kinda annoying since i can't find out where it comes from.
Maybe someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, I'd like to know that as well! Anyone?
I also have an "N"-Icon next to that new weird icon [email protected] is asking for, does anyone know what it might be?

N for NFC?

Yeah, I think it was actually the NFC - Icon. Once I turned NFC off, the icon was gone - thanks

Its merely a shotrcut to your volume.
The only way to get rid of it would be to find a Topbar icon package that has taken it out.
Start here and follow the links, you'll find something.

How to Enable Notification on Always Display

I have the Always Display Information turned on. It would display when I get a message but no other apps like WhatsApp, Gmail etc. would have any indicators. I would need to turn the screen on to be able to see if I have any notifications from those apps or not. Does anyone know how I can turn it on for other apps as well?
On the subject of notifications, sometimes push notifications aren't coming through whilst the phone is sleeping (only when I turn the screen on). I have already made sure to turn off the battery management on my various messaging apps (Settings - Battery - App Launch) as well as locked them in Recent Apps. Doing these things improved it but it's still not consistent. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!
I dont understand why you need to create another thread when there was something similar

Probably because it's not a solution for AOD. It's a solution that shows you your notifications when you pick up your phone and the screen turns on

Why don't you actually read my question, and then compare it with what they are talking about in that thread? Maybe then you will get it. Just saying...
Anyway, after searching everywhere, the answer seems to be that only stock apps get notifications on the AOD. There doesn't seem to be any way for other app's notifications to be displayed yet. FYI gd6noob, no one in that thread talked about this.
I really miss Samsung for only this reason: 3rd party apps on Always On Display.
I hope Huawei somehow, in the future brings this to our devices.
Is it possible in Emui 9? Thanks

Nope same thing
Glance Plus is the only app which I found does something similar, but it doesn't work as well as the Always on Display in Samsung phones. If anyone knows of other apps, any recommendation is welcome.

My old LG G5 can show the icons of all the notifications on Always on Display.

Hopefully, this applies to your P20 Pro, too.

Brightness slider disappeared from pull down notification area.

Like the title says, my brightness slider just disappeared from the notification pull down area. Im running oxygen os 10 with root, twrp, No Limits magisk rom, elemental x 2.0 kernel, and substratum lite mod that changes fingerprint icon. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I have the same problem, I didn't find a solution yet
what I found out is that the slider reappears when I create another user... so it looks like it's some kind of broken user setting
Could it be your DPI settings? Just throwing something out there...
what version of android

It could be, let me check if that can be a cause of it.

I was able to replicate what you said and it disappears again after switching back to my normal profile. I guess it is a broken system setting that they have to iron out.

[solved] Brightness slider gone with latest update

Hi everyone,
I noticed that the slider in the quick access bar (the buttons you get when you pull down the notification bar) has vanished with the latest update. Anyone else having the same issue or any idea how to re-enable this?
Thanks
Abprie
Edit: solution in second post.
Pull it down all the way.
Tap the carrot at the end of the slider.
Toggle on and off a few times the option to make it show the way you want.
It's hit or miss for me. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't.

This is absolutely non-standard behavior and you are probably the only one who reported something like this.There must be a cause. Nothing else annoys you? Are you going to do something about it?

Not much help here other then to confirm that I just updated to WW_17.1810.1911.110 about a week ago and the slider is still on my "pull down". I didn't do anything special for this.
