The wifi and cellular signal meter icons are missing on my primary user profile. They are shown when logged in as a different user. Is this normal?

This isn't normal, you could try deleting and recreating your profile since it seems to work as a different user or doing a factory reset if you're paranoid about what may have caused the issue in the first place.
Google chat support also suggested a factory reset after safe mode and resetting network settings, so it looks like that's the plan. Just added a user to my 5x and the wifi icons are shown in both profiles.

Those things can be turned on or off in the system ui tuner in settings. You don't see it in settings by default though so unless you've already enabled it you'll have to do that first. Pull down the notification bar so you can see your quick toggles and then press and hold the settings icon at the top right until you see a message about system tuner being enabled. Then go in settings and you'll find it near the bottom. See if they are disabled in there. If not, try toggling them on. If they are already on try toggling them off and then on again and see if that works. If not, maybe try toggling them off, reboot and toggle them back on.

Thanks robocuff!
I had system ui tuner enabled for a while now. Disabled and the icons reappeared. Re-enabled and they are still there, no reboot required. For good measure, I removed the wifi and cellular data tiles, an still have the icons.
It's unfortunate that google support suggests a factory reset when there is a much quicker and less intrusive method to correct this issue.

Hi guys!
I have an XT1540, 2gb/16gb version (Retail US) on Marshmallow.
This is the situation: I'm not always at my house. So, I turn off WiFi when I don't use it. But, even though I turn off WiFi, it remains ON. This does not affect the battery duration. I also notice this when I toggle WiFi on using the tile under quick settings, it seems WiFi was always on because it shows available networks immediately.
Yes, I have turned off "Wi-Fi scanning" under Settings > Location > three dots > Scanning, so there is no reason why WiFi is always ON!
Does any of you have the same issue? I attached some screenies. :good:
Want to hear from you guys...
EDIT: I found the solution. Even though I disabled Always scanning on Settings > Location, Wi-Fi always was ON!
I used to go to *#*#4636#*#* > Wi-Fi information > Wi-Fi status and Supplicant state always said SCANNING.
Went to Developer options and scrolled down to Networking and turned ON "Always allow Wi-Fi Roam Scans". When you turn this on, it disallows the always scanning supplicant state. Now Wi-Fi totally turns off when I select the tile in quick settings!
See attachments!
I think it's common marshmallow bug, not only in Moto devices but even Nexus devices facing this issue.
After some reboots it goes back to normal.

Well, after rebooting my device this "issue" is still present... Anyway thanks for the feedback!
Then maybe resetting network settings and wiping cache in recovery will be the solution, because it has solved my Wi-Fi drains.

It may sound too noobish but just check these-
Are you using the quick setting tile's down arrow to expand the WiFi list? I can't remember the behavior on stock but in cm 13 both clicking of quick setting tile icon and down arrow *enables* and expands the tile. In other roms, clicking wifi icon toggles it and arrow expands it.
Try this. Open settings>wifi and make sure it's off from there. Now pull down notification panel, and again pull down to open quick settings (qs) panel. Check wifi has a slant line going over it. That indicates its off. Now click on wifi icon (not the 'Wi-Fi' text with the arrow). Does the tile expand and shown as turned on? If yes then its normal behavior. It turns on wifi and expands the view to show wifi networks. In other roms, it just turns on wifi and clicking bottom text expands it.
And if you can bother , try this-
Make sure that settings>wifi shows its turned off.
if your rooted then install catlog app from playstore and run it. If you are not rooted then you can connect your phone to PC with usb debugging on and use the following command-
Code:
adb logcat
If wifi is still on in background and sanning then you can see lots of line referring to wpa_supplicant coming in continuously. This is the best way to tell.
The reason I am tellling you to confirm it is because it's rare. Custom roms are reporting wifi was on in battery page even when it was off (logcat method confirms this).

Go to your location settings, hit the 3 dot menu button and select scanning. See if Wi-Fi scanning is selected. If so, this will allow the system to use Wi-Fi scanning to help fix your location and will keep Wi-Fi turned on.

Solved.. It was strange but I did it. See OP:
Coming from a Huawei Mate 7 and 8, I'm completely familiar with the "unique" ways of how notifications are handled on Chinese phones and the hoops you have to jump through to make it work. With that said, i think I've met my match. Just received my NS global edition last week and for the life of me, i cannot get notification to work for one of my apps - Nine email. I have done the following:
1. Enable autostart in iManager
2. Grant all permissions (for the hell of it) in iManager
3. Allow all notifications in settings > status bar & notifications
4. Allow background consumption in settings > battery
5. Disable battery optimization in built-in Android battery setting (via GSam Battery monitor)
Despite all that...nothing is happening when the screen is off. I get the notification when screen is on but absolutely nothing when it's off. The phone is completely stock at this point, i have not done any ADB commands of that nature. Does anyone have other places to check that i might have overlooked? Thanks!
need to do this: settings-more settings-applications-installed-your app-permission-single permission settings- than activate all option than go back to notification and enable.what u want.

You're absolutely right! I'm so stupid..i did an export/import of the config for this app from the Mate 8 over and that broke the notification! Notification does work with all of those steps, i just have to do a fresh setup of the app! :laugh::good:
Just setup my phone, including updates/security updates and I've found the NFC quicktile always shows disabled. If I long press the icon, it will take me to Connection preferences where I can turn it on or off there, but no matter the state it is in the NFC quicktile shows disabled.
Anyone else have this problem?
Yep. Mine is the same way. I also have a weird issue because I keep several apps in folders on my homepage. If I rearrange the apps within a folder, it leaves a copy of the app icon on the actual homepage itself. A reboot fixes it but it's odd.
Strange, I don't even have the option to add NFC quick tile. I've tried toggling NFC both on and off and looking for the tile with no luck either.
Mine is also disabled. I probably only have it because I transferred my settings from another phone that had the tile there already. I wonder if/why Google is phasing out the NFC toggle
I also cannot use the quick tile toggle
My 4a also disabled.
I think that it is because the data/settings were migrated from the previous phone that has NFC icon in QS panel.
The NFC toggle works fine for me, BUT... my phone is rooted.
I installed the Quick Settings app (by Simone Sestito) to get the NFC toggle, then granted it superuser permissions.

My 4a is also rooted, yet the (previously) built-in quick toggle is disabled as previously described.

To test this I just froze the Quick Settings app I installed and I don't even see NFC among the default choices. Only unfreezing the app adds it back, so maybe you're seeing something that was there from previous settings you restored? I think it's odd that Google didn't put it there by default, but it appears they didn't?
I actually factory reset mine last night and didn't restore from any backup. The NFC quick toggle is gone now.

Yep, that's exactly the conclusion I came to earlier. Google definitely removed the tile for it. Seems like a strange decision to me, though.
FWIW, seems to be not fixed in the latest 11 build.
Hello,
I have noticed that the Wi-Fi Calling notification does not go away even if I turn Wi-Fi Calling off. I have already put the notification to silent and reduced but it constantly sits there and annoys me. Does anyone know a trick how to get rid of it completely? The options for disabling it are greyed out and cannot be turned off. My S21 Ultra which had the same e-SIM, came from the same region, did not have that issue although the function was turned on 24/7.
The package which causes those notifications is com.sec.unifiedwfc.
EDIT: At the moment I have blocked the notifications using AutoNotification app from the store.

I did check it but could not find anything useful. The one thing that could have helped, notification snooze time change, has failed to apply even though I granted all permissions via ADB. The app suggested to use OneUI Tuner but it is not available on xda labs when I open the official link.
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the notification on the status bar
can you share a screenshot of what you are seeing? not fully understanding the issue here

It is just the carrier pushing for Wifi call. Tmobile does that.
What I do? I turn of wifi right when a call comes. The HD+ is much better without wifi.

If you put it to silent it will look as in the screenshot. Turning off is greyed out.

I've decided I rly don't want the nav bar. I prefer the Samsung three button swipe up method. How much of my current setup can I get back should I unlock the bootloader to root and therefore factory reset my device?
...Unless there's an option to hide the nav bar without root
Thank you.
For me, factory resetting really isn't all that bad. Been doing roms since 2011, so starting fresh is a reoccurring thing for me.
My important photos/videos are backed up through Google Photos while my SMS/MMS are backed up through SMS Backup and Restore. Everything else, pretty much just login through apps with a password manager. System settings, I go through one-by-one and set them up every single time, but that only takes but so long.
Maybe someone could add some stuff that requires manually backing up those apps specifically?

Going to see how this works, give me one sec. Not sure how it works on the latest Android, but it can achieve what you're looking for.

Fluid navigation gestures for all of us!

Edit: No go. Dug up the article and now it seems like your only option will be to root, unless someone knows something more.
Google confirms overscan is gone in Android 11, crippling third-party gesture apps
Google has confirmed that overscan is not present in Android 11. This change will cripple third-party navigation gesture apps and others.
www.xda-developers.com
vivid navigation gestures paired with aospmods is the only way to hide the navigation bar. afaik the setting to hide the navbar within vivid NG doesn't work. need root
I could be completely wrong with what you are after regarding the swipe options, but try this for the 3 button navigation. (Translated from Dutch, so menu might look a little bit different)
Settings > System > gestures > system navigation
Here you can disable the swipe, and enable the 3 buttons option.
I'm using the Xposed Edge app to hide the navigation pill. I also have the None Display Cutout module installed which, in conjunction with the Xposed Edge app, I can toggle the Status bar too.
