I am currently in MiUI 12 and I realized that in the status bar it does not show more than 3 icons followed by the 3 points when you have more and I feel that it is not useful since we do not have any notch or hole on the screen, it is possible in any hidden settings activate so that more can be seen?
I never realized this is what was happening!
I thought the dot was some weird icon! Yeah, that is silly on their part!
In Develop Options > Display cut-out, you can choose different notch views, the status bar changes, but dunno if this is the solution.

If I'm not talking nonsense, Xiaomi already had this way of displaying icons in the status bar, long before hole / notch phones existed.
My Mi4c (2015) worked this way

Good day.
I have recently upgraded my S7 to Nougat and i'm still getting used to the new interface.
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to change the number of items on the left in the status bar before it puts the ... simbol?
Example in the attached pic.
Thank you.
I don't think it's an option, but this is really cool and easy. Instead of having slot of icons you can just swipe down the notifications panel.

Thank you for the reply.
Maybe i have explained wrong.
My problem is that i have a traffic monitor with an icon that says the download speed, but because of the other icons, it disappears.

Yes you can either display all notification icon or just 1st three.
1. go to settings.
2. go to display
3. towards the bottom you will see "status bar" its after AOD, and led indicator.
- there are two settings 1. show only 3 recent followed by "..." and battery.
- you can turn it off or on from there. if off then all icons for notifications should pop up.

hahaha! How did i miss that? I searched the hole phone. Thank you!
I cannot deny, I LOVE this device. Everything working flawless so far ?.. Call me nuts, I like the notch more than I probably should. I've searched through this forum and through settings a few times, but maybe I'm overlooking it...
Question is, I'm noticing the left side of the status bar can fit the time and also 4 icons, effectively fitting them right up to the notch. The right side is only fitting battery icon and cell service info while anything else gets the dots. Am I missing a setting to fit more info on the right side? Or did OnePlus purposely waste status bar real estate? Pic for reference.
I think that's the expected (by 1+, at least) beahiour.
Agree with you, the 3 dots is annoying.

I can get 4 icons on the right (battery, cell, vibration, and Bluetooth) for example.

Hmm I tried a bunch of combinations and ended up realizing a couple of them default to the 3 dots... When I put on all of the ones you mentioned they do indeed stack up. Maybe there's no alarm icon in the system files lol ?. Oh well. Thanks for the input
Have you tried to set display size to small with small font in display settings?
Google introduced a status bar icon editor back in developer previews of 8.0, yet seemed to have vanished from public release.
This is the menu where you used to hold the gear icon on the status bar, it would spin and unlock the editor.
For this, you can use any "activity launcher" however I will explain using Nova.
Long press on the home screen.
Select widgets.
Then you'll see "Activies" - press this.
Scroll down to "System UI" - touch it. You'll then see "Demo mode"(3rd option down) - touch this and a little wrench will appear on your home screen.
Press it. You'll see the status bar editor open up. Select status bar, and turn off the icons you want removed.
After this, reboot. And they will be gone.
I have Bluetooth, Alarm Clock, and signal bars all removed. Makes the status bar just clean and neat.
Give it a try!
ENJOY!
This is a great hidden find, unfortunately I wasn't able to remove the battery icon.... I don't need that with percentage showing.
Didn't work on my Global version. I can unselect then but after rebooting they are all still there.

I'm using the global version, and it works great on mine and another buddies of mine.
What version software do you have?
Only WiFi seems to disappear for me. Other icons just reappear on my global variant of the Mate 20 X. But thank you for the guide regardless.
Also wish the performance mode icon could be hidden, but that's not even an option.
Sigh, if we could just get near stock Android + sprinkles of EMUI customisations, I'd be so happy.. I love the hardware, camera, overall feel of the Mate 20 X but keep finding myself playing with my 6T and Pixel 2 XL because the software is a tough pill to swallow on the Huawei phone.

Would love to hide the VoLTE icon on the status bar. Or some way to rearrange the ordering if possible.
Edit: Just realized I can simply turn off VoLTE in the mobile networks settings (since I don't use it) to remove the icon.
can u explain 1 2 3
how i can remove eye comfort and volte?

Wow, I was really excited about this, but my phone automatically overrides it at boot. I think I can see it for a split second before it reverts, but it might just be populating the icons.
Anybody know more about this?
I am using lawn chair V2 launcher and although you can't hide icons you can set it to hide the whole status bar, very clean and to see the bar you just pull down from the top of the screen
Hi,
Can someone please help me permanently blackened the status bar around the notch on LG - LMG710AWM (Canadian). It is not rooted and I just hate the dreaded notch so much, I will send the phone back if I can not turn that s*** off. natcho notch or whatever did not work. :-| :crying:
...and just to clarify, I am not trying to be racist or discriminatory against status bar, black or any other colors or things...heck, I will be fine if I can get it all white all the time. I just can't stand the status bar changing itself with the apps background colors. That is absolutely the worst UI oversight if it is not manageable by the users in Android.
Just pick a solid colour then. You even have a rainbow option

Stop with your attitude.. What is your problem?
There are options to select a solid color..or even rainbow.. Settings/display/second screan.
Tick custom then select one.

I have a formerly mysterious notification dot on the status bar. I figured out what it was for when I was investigating why the wifi and data icons weren't appearing. The notification dot indicates that there are other icons that it can't show because (I guess) it thinks it doesn't have enough room. For some reason the OS is only allowing a very small portion of the status bar to be used(see screenshot) . Why? Is there a de-clutter setting I need to turn off somewhere? Is there any way to fix this? Is this an Android 10 issue or a LineageOS 17.1 issue?
If you want details of my investigation, ok: In the status bar settings when I disable the mobile data icon, the notification dot disappears and the wifi icon appears. When I disable the wifi icon, the alarm icon replaces the notification dot. When I move the clock to the left side or the center, the alarm and wifi icons appear. When I go into the clock settings and turn off the alarms, the notification dot is replaced with the wifi icon. But the alarm clock icon wasn't showing before I turned the alarms off. In between the disabling, what was previously disabled was re-enabled.
What idiot programmer thought it would be a good idea to have a notification dot appear in the status bar and not tell you what it means? When you google Android status bar notification dot, nobody has any idea what it means. The only answer I found is from someone who figured out what it was indicating for them (different than what was indicating for me) by investigating like I did. There's no general documentation, but even if there was, it wouldn't do you any good unless it told you where to go to view notification dot messages. I assume there is no such place.
Bump
I believe I have also seen it... LOS 17 on Moto Edge.
I think I figured out what the problem is. First here's an explanation of how the Status & Notification bar works from here:
The status bar and the notification bar are very similar, but in reality, they are two different things. The status bar is located at the top of the display, on the right. This is where you will see things like the current time, battery status, and current connections (Bluetooth, cellular network, and Wi-Fi). The Notification bar, on the other hand, is located on the upper left side, where you'll find app icons to alert you to new messages, updates to the Play Store, and other notifications.

It looks like the OS is allocating way to much space to the left side so the right side doesn't have enough space to display its icons. I assume its actually LineageOS doing this, not Android.
This is a known gripe for certain people. It's androids attempt to plan for folks with holepunch and notch cutouts. At default zoom settings you can fit maybe 4 or 5 notifications as well as your clock and status indicators before you're full.
This is compounded by the fact that some apps (mostly messaging apps, text, telegram, gmail) respect this and will show one icon to illustrate that you have unreads, which you can then expand to see all of your various chats/emails. Other apps (looking at you youtube) will show an individual icon for every single notification. 5 unseen videos because you're at work? I guess we don't really need to know about literally any other notification we've gotten.
The best solution I've found is to set a custom dpi so that the screen is as small as is still usable, and to install gravitrybox. It comes with a setting where it will try to increase the amount of notification icons you can view. (in my case its about 9)

The notification side isn't the problem. That side is empty most of the time for me, but I'll try gravitybox.

looks to me like your time font is a tad large.
besides that, seems to be the same issue. android/lineage is trying to prevent the notification bar from becoming cluttered, but it is being way too aggressive.

I didn't do the custom dpi setting, but I did do the GravityBox setting(which I think only effects the status side) and now all of the icons are showing.
The version that LSPosed installed wasn't working. It was saying: "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting" while the module was trying to load. I had to install the latest version(which LDSposed notified me of but wouldn't download or install) from GitHub. I had to reboot for it to take effect.
