I'm in the UK on EE network.
With other phones I'm used to seeing the 'EE' name in the top corner.
On my S8+ it shown sometimes but not always, even in strong coverage. It doesn't seem related to mobile data switched on or off.
I'm not really bothered if it stays on or off, as long as it's consistent.
Any ideas?

Is there sufficient space left for the mobile carrier to be displayed when there are other notification icons already in the taskbar ? . It might be due to that reason . Happens with my Galaxy Alpha . But you should be getting it at the bottom of the notification bar when you slide it down ? . Posting screenshots would make the scenario more clear .

There's always plenty of room at the top left of the screen, just a few icons or sometimes nothing at all.
Yes it does appear at the bottom when I pull the bar down.

I hope this isnt too dumb of a question but could anyone help me identify what this icon is? This is from the darkstar port. I thought maybe it was wifi, but enabled it and noticed its not. So I have no idea...It said evdo before, but I could of swarn it says "1x" like the stock traskbar. The icon to the left of the signal bars:
EDIT: Its not a signal indicator either. Since it now says EvDo after the signal bars but that checker board icon is still there to the left of EvDo. (not in the picture). But this confirms its not evdo or 1x icon.
there is a Slacker Radio and a Screeble icon there. Hope that helps.

It definitely helps, thank you. So after I close slacker is it suppose to close? Because it doesnt seem to be going away.
Go into it i guess you can prbly close it by pressing the menu.. Same thing with SNESoid leaves itself up there so you can talk or text freely without losing your place.
Which icon are you referring to? The one to the right of the signal bars is the battery icon. If it is an icon that says EVDo then it is your mobile connection icon.
The icon to the left of the signal bars, sorry if it was written wrong. And no not the evdo its the checkerboard icon.
It looks like the icon that comes on when you have vibrate turned on. Long press the red end button and turn off vibrate.

You are absolutely right. Funny thing is I was just today using slacker, so when that solution was posted I assumed that was right.
Thanks ElAguila and thanks everyone else....it was a dumb question after all.
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...

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 %.

I have a first world problem: When I'm on a call and want to access the notification bar, my screen turns off--I think because the light sensor is effected by my hand.
Use case: I'm on a call, realize I want to switch to Bluetooth, and want to go to the notification bar to access settings or click on the bluetooth tile, but the screen goes dark. So, I have to put the phone down, and carefully access the bar making sure my hand doesn't get in the way. Is there a way to get around this?
UPDATE: I just got an answer from someone else off this board: While on a call, press the "home" button/icon that takes you to your launcher and then access the Notification bar--the screen will then stay on without a problem.

I just posted a fix to my original post, above.
Alternately... You could install a launcher with gesture setting as to double tap in the home screen to toggle/expand notification bar.. So you don't have to get your fingers near the top at all... Cheers

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.

Hi everyone!
I just bought a new HTC E8 Dual Sim from Hong Kong, which arrived already rooted and almost clean from manufacturer apps. However, I am going crazy over a notification icon that is completely useless.
Every time my phone connects to mobile data, a strange notification would appear, showing two arrows, one black and one white, pointing one up and one down, on the top left corner. This notification is pointless, as I can see the device is connected by looking at the right side of the status bar, right next to the signal bars where a nice H+ is displayed. This notification only shows CONNECTED if looked while the screen is locked.
Unfortunately I can't post screenshot as this is my first thread, if someone knows how I can attach screenshots, please let me know.
Apparently this notification is generated by the app PHONE, whose notifications cannot be disabled (the checkbox is greyed out into the normal settings pane) and cannot be frozen using Link2SD (otherwise both SIMS stop working the device ceases to work as a phone).
If I force stop the app the icon would disappear straight away, but would reappear again at the following mobile data connection, just as nothing happened.
I've tried to download XPOSED ADDITIONS to see if I could get some more tools to work on it, but it seems not to work on this device; if I tap on it, an error message prompts saying "The XposedAdditions System Service is currently not enabled" and some other stuff I couldn't get rid of.
Can someone help me remove that notification?
Thanks guys!
Mike
