looks like Speakerphone is on?

Just made a call with speakerphone on and the icon didn't appear and the normal call icon didn't change either, but could be different for different CSC

Yea the BT thing sounds plausible, guess it would think it was on loud speaker if connected to a car BT sound system
There's a few different unknown icons appear here on XDA, not sure where the box my S7 came in but possible there is a booklet similar to your first link showing what they mean

Not with mine , no booklet at all , if you search S7 status bar icons , there are several variants ( shapes, colors) for the same function , I guess each country /carrier adds their touch....that is not bad but for sure sometime confusing

That is the WiFi calling icon. It can be turned off in phone settings

Mystery solved, enabled WiFi calling through my carriers app but apparently it's only on their branded S7s atm, for unbranded we have to wait

I do not have that option over here.....good to know

Actually, it's the 4G call icon. You shoul disable it, if you want to be albe to make proper calls.

Wi-Fi calling icon
It's your Wi-Fi calling icon. Just pull the top bar down and turn off Wi-Fi calling! I only found out by accident as it was driving me nuts!

So did a factory reset. Did not install one app, charged phone to 100% and let it sit overnight and got this result.
I am starting to think this is a bad unit I got. Is anyone else having this problem with their wifi?

check advanced wifi settings. Always allow scanning or something like that is probably enabled for google location services. Every samsung device I've ever worked with has had this enabled by default.

Thanks for the response but that was the first thing that I checked.
I am going to give it another day or so see if it works itself out if not going to ask for a replacement.

K, I'm on sprint but my bat screen doesn't look anything like that . . . If you turn on airplane mode, what happens?
Got an idea. Settings-->Data usage-->Menu-->Show Wi-Fi usage
tap wifi
there should be a list of apps under the graph.
Do a full reset, then check the bat page to see if wifi is still on, and then check that list above to see if anything is actually using it.

I have been installing apps and have had my screen on for the last 20 minutes or so and now the phone is acting perfectly normal. The minute the screen goes off it starts the connecting and disconnecting from the wifi and waking the screen.

Does this happen whether or not wifi is on or off? Have you tried it while connected to a different network?
yes tried it on different networks.
I def think its the phone. Now it wont stay connected at all. I keep getting the connected to wifi message flashing on the screen every 2 seconds.

Did u swap out at the T-mobile store? I am curious what they said.
Last night i charged to 100% just let it sit on my counter and completely dead battery in 3 hours without touching the phone once.
Just to give an update on this thread that I started.
I received yesterday a new unit from T-mobile and this unit works perfectly. No wifi dropouts at all.
So my first unit was a defect

[Q] Headphone Icon

My Note 4 displayed a headphone icon in the upper left when headphones were plugged into it. Could someone be kind enough to let me know if that same icon appears on their Edge device!
Thanks in advance!
I just tested this. A icon appears in status bar and edge bar then disappears after a second.

I am getting the same thing...it is my understanding that it should stay there permanently...hmmm.
Appreciate you taking the time.
I had to dig headphones out just to try that. I usually used Bluetooth headphones.

Yes the headphone icon appears on top left status bar.
Right, however, does it display and then disappear or does it stay lit?

Are you using a wired set of headphones or a Samsung Bluetooth set?
I suspect your using a Samsung Bluetooth set. That headphone icon could be the Samsung Level app and not a normal headphone connected icon.

As was I, and even with my LG Tone pros I don't get any icon. But Samsung has a app Samsung Level to use with compatible Samsung Bluetooth headphones. Judging from his picture, I'm willing to bet that's what he is seeing. Just the app running.

The icon not appear when using wired, it only appear when connnected via bluetooth.

As I said, using wired headphones, my icon shows for a couple seconds and then goes away...as does others I have asked.

And as I said incorrect. That is the Samsung Level app. Your Bluetooth headphones must be compatible with the app. Hence the notification that pops up on the edge screen
see no icon,but yet my LG Tones are connected.
Now my Xbox music app uses a headphone icon . So a app can have that icon.

Hidden "SVC Menu" & WiFi Calling? Could it be?

I have a NON-rooted AT&T V10 that recently got upgraded to marshmallow. I had a horrible experience (as I have before) with the OTA upgrade and ended up doing a factory reset, but now that that is done it is running very smoothly and the battery life has really been good. But that is not what I'm here for. Now that everything is running well I thought I'd try to see what options are available to me in this new version so I went online to see what "hidden" menus were available.
I found this one: *#546368#*900# (900 being the model of AT&T's V10) It brings up several tests you can run, but also a "SVC Menu". After going in the svc menu there is an option at the bottom called "VoWiFi" which I thought looks interesting. The value at stock for the item in the menu: "Wi-Fi Calling toggle" was "-1" (which doesn't make any sense to me). Since it's obvious that this should provide me "voice over Wifi" I decided to try it since the service in my 2 story house is pretty bad in the corner of the basement where my office is.
After setting the value to 1 I've made a few calls and found out that indeed this does seem to work! but only when I'm in my basement with limited service (1 bar). The Wifi icon adds a plus symbol to the icon and I've made several calls now and on the dialing screen on the "Red End" icon there is a wifi symbol right above it presumably meaning you are calling using VoWiFi?
I haven't seen the documented or talked about anywhere so i joined this forum asking you guys if you can both confirm for me that I have this correct, but also to share my find and hope it helps someone else. Also, should this work for SMS/MMS as I've seen mentioned for the VoWiFi standard??? In the texting I've done so far (also very bad service for texting) It may indicate that it does. Interested to know from you guy/gals what you think?
I'm very excited about this - Comments/Thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.
Very cool! Definitely one of the reasons to upgrade to the 6.0 update, but I prefer root instead. Cool though!
Can't root due to company policy...otherwise I Very much agree and would in a heartbeat.
This was great until I rebooted my phone and now it doesn't work anymore. Any idea how to fix it?

They do show back up again after a factory reset, but they still don't work. It was nice while it lasted, would be great to get this feature back again, but oh well.
I've been using this pretty regular. I just have to go back to the menu and toggle it off and then back on and it works.

What is the process you are using? Turn it off exit then dial the code again and turn it on again, or what?
Sent from my LG-H900 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes I dial the code and toggle it off. Wait a few seconds and then toggle it back to on. Several days and it's worked doing just that. If the phone reboots or runs dead, just do the code again and switch the setting off then back on. Until it is permanently activated by AT&T this is what seems to be a work around.

Install Launch Manager? That might make it stop:victory:
seriously though have you factory reset the watch? What are the procedures have you tried to fix this? Is your phone custom or stock? More info is better

Yep, Tired that! Done factory resets on both the phone and watch, all stock firmware. Thanks!
What happens if you let it install? Don't you think it's probably something you need? I can't remember since I haven't reset mine in a few weeks

Nah its just that annoying multi app screen, The app pops up when installed which makes me think its the accelometer.
Doing a Google search for it I don't see anything for Launch Manager other than a 3rd party app for the app circle with all your apps. No aftermarket apps installed?

Crazy. I do believe you can do a hardware test by going to Settings -> Gear Info -> About Device -> Tap Software version ( 5 times ) -> Magic
Check All Hardware ( Sensor, speaker, Echo Test, Camera) – *#0*#

That just brings up a full screen green keyboard.
Which watch face do you have installed? This looks like a stupid pop up ad from some stupid free app...
Weird, something definitely up. I would investigate getting a replacement. "green screen" is one of the color tests but the keyboard is gray with white characters. Scrolling up and down displays different tests.

Charge battery notification & Sound

Hi everyone, my OnePlus7Pro suffers from the lack of an audible warning when charging and when it is removed from the charge when the phone is " on " it has no message or sound when the battery is 100% charged. For this I have created a simple Apk with tasker to install without root permissions on all OnePlus7Pro that solve this lack. It should work even when the screen is off . If you want to try it, you are free to do so. There is a button in the menu to disable the popup service and the sound but the notification is always running to work. The only permission to give is "storage". Tell me if it consumes a lot of battery and is worth keeping it installed.My goal is to "share" this simple solution with some users who know no solutions .. Consider it a test for now.
Updating 14/07/2019 :
Try this new version. I changed the skin of the popup. I added the vibration . I added the button to activate only the acoustic notification without the popup but only when it is charged and removed from the charge.
Updating new version Full 1.0 / Full.57.apk
18/07/2019
This is a much more complete version. The recharge sound is present when the power is turned on and when it comes off. There is popup, sound, I added the LEDs to the screen off. I added the possibility of using the desired profile on 4 different profiles, the possibility of disabling all the LEDs and all the profiles in case you don't want to use anything. Other little things you need to try on the menu. If you don't use the navigation bar it will be seen in full screen. Tell me if everything works, in the other case I will try to fix it.
* 11/08/2019 *
New version: full.68.apk
"most stable version"
Installation :
Give access to memory as usual and "allow change system settings"
Redesigned smaller LEDs, battery icons with percentages (I think it's more tasty to the eye). In PROFILE 4 Every 25% of charge there will be the display of the battery and an acoustic signal "red 25%, Orange 50%, Yellow 75% and Green from 75 to 100% . Now the screen does not turn off when it is added to the AC recharge. The suspension of the screen will increase the duration to allow the application to work well otherwise the LEDs and icons will be disabled, then everything will return to normal as soon as you remove the AC charge. Now there is a button to prevent the LEDs from being seen in the dark if you have enabled automatic brightness. When profile 4 is running you can activate the screen with a touch on the display. On the menu I tried to give as many explanations as possible and excuse my English if it's not good.
I'm glad to hear from you if you liked it and everything works well. As I said before I can solve if you point out the bugs.
Hi
Amazing idea and indeed it's usefull, I'll test it and let you know.
Hello, thanks for sharing! Do you mind sharing the profile itself?
A few weeks ago I tried doing the same but I was stuck with Tasker not vibrating when the phone is in silent mode.
From what I've heard Oneplus will "fix" this in next updates.

It should vibrate the same even with silent. Perhaps in the next version I will add vibration when removing the USB cable from the power supply and when the popup will appear. Contact me in private because this is an apk, it's not a Tasker discussion.

I'm doing another much more complete version. There will also be the LED, the LEDs based on the percentage of the charge and vibrations when the power is disconnected and attached. There will be 4 profiles to choose from.
