weird new icon in status bar after reboot - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I have a new icon I have never seen before in my status bar upon reboot of my device last night.
Can anyone assist in figuring out what it might be?

I was curious (plus I'm stuck at home on a snow/ice day with nothing to do), so I found this. Not sure of a solution, though.

That is rotation lock icon & it appears when u modify status bar. Most likely with system ui tuner. It clears all the settings when u restart ur phone. Keep safemode setting on in system ui tuner to restore them back or do it manually after every reebot.

I did it, and status bar come back, but today gone again, have same problem, there's no status bar on home screen. Have you any idea?

U using any launchers? And in the settings of that launcher u might have enabled to hide status bar. Check if that's so.

Did you delete some files from system or change rom settings?

Do you mean that you can't pull down the notification shade? If so, I'm having a similar issue, and finding that when I rotate the phone so that the nav buttons are where the status bar usually is, they don't respond.
I removed the screen protector and also factory restore. Neither one work.
I went back to where I bought. And got a 1 to 1 replacement, as the phone is only 10 days old.

[Q] Is there a way to change/remove Sony's battery icon?

I'm trying to get the AOSP battery icon instead of the Sony one. I've tried GravityBox, which works to add the AOSP icon, but Sony's one is still there. I know I can disable it in settings but it still shows on the lock screen and when the notification pane is down. Is there any other way to change/remove Sony's battery icon?
Not Optimal... But it works!
So I am figuring you are trying to do this because you got gravity box and when you apply a battery icon it adds it alongside the stock one but doesn't replace it... So there three easy steps to get rid of it! First of all in the settings search for personalization, system icons and untick battery... this will get rid of the battery in the status bar when it is NOT pulled down; then go to the xposed app and download a module called clean lock screen, activate it and tick the option for the removal of the status bar icons... this will get rid of it in the lock screen BUT it will also remove the gravity box one and the WiFi and data signal icons... and lastly, download a module from the xposed installer called android N-ify, this will add some awesome features like the double-tap recents to go to last applications and yata yata but most important thing is that this will customize your notification and quick toggle panel and it by default hides battery... so reboot and your stock battery should be successfully hidden!! I know your question is kinda old by now but I just got back to stock marshmallow in my z3 and was struggling with this same exact problem and this was the best solution I was able to find for this!

Disabling vibrate/silent notification icons

I've just noticed after updating to 5.1.7 (I skipped .6) that I have a vibrate icon in the status bar (I am in vibrate, so this isn't in itself odd). However, I can't seem to find a way to hide it. I checked Settings / Status Bar / Icon Manager, but it isn't listed there.
I am rooted with magisk, and have xposed, if there is a simple workaround that anyone can recommend.
(While I'm posting, I really wish I could move the clock over to the right too.)
Thanks!
Systemui tuner in app store might be able to do that
Thanks, that worked! I toggled off "volume", and it took care of both.
Thanks for helping! There's no "vibration" option in System UI Tuner makes people so confusing...

Oxygen already allows to hide things in the Status Bar, under the Display options, you don't need a third party app On custom ROMs, depends on the build though !

I'm on Hovoc, which supports disabling Status Bar icons long time ago
But no matter using ROM or SystemUITuner to disable icons, the "Vibrate" icon always showed as the name of "Volume", which makes me confusing lmao.

That's a widget thing only. Remove it in back-screen-setting.

i want to say , its Status bar ( download icon, wifi, clock, gsm,...) not is widget notification.
I fully second this. Also after like an hour of inactivity, clocks on the EPD stop updating properly. For example its 01:21, but the clocks on my Y3+ (updated from Y3) still show 01:03. Only the clock on the status bar are correct, but first of all, I don't want the status bar on my EPD, and secondly they are too small to consider them convenient at that point anyway.
Would really, really love to hear about solutions to both of those issues :-| The status bar has no reason to exist on the back of the phone. I just wish Y3+ was just a Y2 in regards to the EPD.
workaround for me is to enable the lockscreen with the second screen app but just leave it empty - so I just get a blank white screen with the locked icon and nothing else - most importantly: no statusbar.
most of the apps I use on the e-ink side have fullscreen support, so it doesnt annoy me during actual use.
but yeah, bit of a weird thing to not give us any settings for.
Ye, for me, the "actual use" for a phone with always on screen is seeing a nic clock (and other info) on its back. Thats the most important, seeing clock/weather/notifications/potentially other widget thingies (I inda liked the step countner on the chinese version). But the status bar is something that's not usable "at a glance", its too small for that so it has no place there.
But lately, I'm most annoyed by the clocks not updating properly when the phone is in sleep mode for a few hours, I can't trust the clock anymore, f*ck I hate that about it so much.

It's a late response, but I'm glad I'm not the only one with the time sync problem. I miss the YotatHub clock and battery widgets :-(
I finally discovered how to fix it:
Go to Settings -> Battery -> Click upper right 3 dots -> Choose 'Battery optimization' -> Choose clock app -> Click 'Don't optimize' -> Click 'Done' and you're done! Now your clock will always update
