Hi all,
I was just trying out those various settings when suddenly a lock symbol appeared in the top bar, right next to the WiFi and battery symbol. What is that, where did it come from? Does anyone know?
Thanks!
Hi MrDarkwhite,
have you accidentally configured a VPN? The symbol appears when I am connected via VPN.
Best regards and merry Christmas.
Mikel
Hi Mikel,
Thanks, that's it. I installed NetGuard and the symbol was gone when I stopped the app again. Good to know.
Merry Christmas to you as well.

Hi, I want to remove the G icon next to the signal strength. Only the icon. I have tried using GBsoft to diable the GPRS after a set period of time. But I ended up getting the "no GPRS" icon (the one with the X and the 2 arrows). So, this kinda defeats the purpose.
I want to remove the icon so that I have more real estate there. I'm using a bible reader program, and sometimes I want to see where I am; and the G icon covers that information.
Anyone knows how to do this? Thx!
I want it to go away too since its pointless and you cannot connect with GPRS with it, so I use GPRS Monitor to connect/disconnect. =/.
If you're using Spb GPRS monitor, just enable the gprsmon icon in options and place it over the 'G' icon, which effectively removes it.
I too would like to know more on this..
anyone found any new ways as on date to remove the "G" icon or the "X and 2 arrows" icon?
please help. thanx.
no help so far
Sad to say, no one could help so far. Posted this at buzzdev too, but no one seems to have the answer as well
Hi guys. I'm just new here. And I have a problem about receiving notifications
Have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1(P5100). Everything works fine until I noticed that I don't receive notifications anymore(sms,updates). I need to bring up the "notifications bar"(the one with the clock and shows your wifi connection etc.) every time just to see if someone texted me or to see if there are available updates. I also noticed that there is a icon-a gray line beside the clock (see attachment).
How can I receive notifications again?
By the way, my galaxy tab 2 p5100 is rooted.
Thanks guys.

You saved me from hard resetting my tab again! such a simple thing for which I had hard resetted my tab thrice earlier!!!
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 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
