i am enclosing two screenshots to show that there is only one thing in the corner that seems to be on. also nothing in the notifications bar except text me and battery saver and i tried deleting both of them and the notification sound still comes through every 5 to ten minutes, any ideas? does this symbol look familiar to anyone? thanks
What's Running
Hi gorelow,
Can't say that I have seen the symbol before myself, and it certainty doesn't look like a default android symbol. Looks like it's for a 3rd party app installed on the phone. Can you remember when you first saw the symbol and if you had installed any apps around the time of it appearence. Also might be a good idea to look at your current 3rd party running apps in settings and just force close a few, that you think could be linked to the notification and if you close the app that the notification is linked to it would dissappear telling you what app.

You can try to deactivate the notifications for one app by another in settings-->apps-->appXy-->show notifications and see when the notification disappears. Then you'll know which app is responsable for this icon. Hope this helps.

You're referring to the single icon on the left of your notification bar? Looks to me like the icon for Notification Toggles app - you can change the visibility of it in the settings for the app.
Thank you. It got rid of the icon. I've never experienced that app making a notification sound. I'll keep trying to figure out how sonething that doesnt show up can mak e a notification sound. Thanks again

Has anyone else has experienced this? Seemingly out of nowhere my green notification LED will start blinking. Thinking I have an email/text/missed call I hit the power button only to find no notifications whatsoever. I check my inboxes to make sure nothing new was in there and find nothing. No alarms, no new texts, no emails, no missed calls, nada. It just continues to blink until I reboot the phone. Its not a huge issue but its happened about 5 times in the past week, just wondering if i'm the only one.
mine doesn't do it to that extent, but sometimes if I have just cleared a notification or something it will blink until I put it to sleep and wake it back up.
Huh. Haven't noticed that problem. For what it's worth I use Google Voice so don't use the MMS app and have removed the Voice Mail.
maybe its a hey play with me light? lol ive experienced it but in about 2hr increments of standby

It happens to me when I check a text through the app (handcent) but I don't go to the notification bar at all, it clears because I open it in handcent but it continues to blink until I pull the notification bar down.

Speaking of the Notification bar, does anyone else have an issue of selecting a notification and it takes you to the correct app, but it doesn't close the notification bar?
yeah, i've had that, where the notification bar will stay down after clicking an app. i just roll it back up and the app i selected is no open in the background, so its all good.
and as far as the notification light goes, i wish there was a way to also tap into that orange/red LED as a notification light. I downloaded an app that can control the blinking light and for various things, and if the phone supports it, multiple colors (dunno what phones have a multicolor LED there...) but seems it can only tap into the green LED. Which sucks, cause i'd love to have missed called and voice mails linked to the red light while everything else linked to the green light. maybe once its rooted and custom roms come out that'll be an option.
I've experienced this with Handcent SMS on the rare occasion. There's a certain combo of viewing messages that seem to cause this.
Since you can view messages 3 ways, reply 2 ways, not sure which combo causes it.
To clear it tho, I've always just opened handcent fully and opened up the last message received. That's worked every time for me.
I made the switch to GO SMS. It's a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of a text addict so I notice this happening frequently. Doesn't really bother me but I dont really understand why it happens some times but not others. It happens with GO SMS and stock messaging app for me.

don't get your hopes up. I upgraded from a Hero and it used what seems to be an identical light, it was hardwired to only use green and red, so no matter what software you use it wouldn't matter. Not to say something isn't different with this one, but just be prepared to have your bubble popped as I did the first time I saw those options in cyanogenmod...
Hey all, I'm looking for a weather app or module that will give me either a constant notification (like the google weather card but just needs to be constant) or sits somewhere in the quick settings (like the one integrated in CM12 is exactly what I would like). A lot of the apps I have tried do give the constant notification BUT they also keep an icon in the status bar which I am trying to avoid. A small handful, such as BrightWeather, offer the option to hide it and is the current one I am using so far. So does anyone have any suggestions on this?
I think amber has option for blank notification icon
Yeah it does, the only problem with Amber is that despite setting refresh interval to 3 hrs, I wakes my device a lot more often than that. I think it had woken to do something >15 times/hour. Tried to go through all the settings and not really sure what it was doing, but the battery drain was too significant
I have used multiple different CM12.1 ROMs and was curious if I was missing a setting or something
Basically let’s say I get an email on my gmail. The notification shows in my status bar and the LED flashes
Let’s say after about 15min and I haven’t checked my phone the notification disappears from the status bar as well as the LED notification
This is occurring with multiple apps
Is there a setting that turns off notifications like this after a certain amount of time?
I looked everywhere and can’t find anything. This caused me to not notice an important email on my phone
I always figured until the actual notification or content gets acknowledged that the notification would remain
Any help is welcomed
If you stop the app, or it gets killed somehow. The notification will go away and only come back when the app has started again. Happens to me all the time with whatsapp, because i forget and clear my recent apps.

Well in my cause a recent example is from today. I got an email at 10am but didnt turn on my screen or anything. By 10:30 the notification is gone from the notification drawer
Gmail isnt blocked or force closed by any program in my device such as green power or greenify
Hi everyone,
I started using SystemUITuner to remove the High Brightness and Volume notifications and to customize my Edge and Popup notifications. After doing that, I have a new icon in my status bar that I don't know how to remove. I have attached a screenshot, it is the "Smartphone" icon to the left of the vibration icon. I also can't use SystemUITuner anymore after a restart, it keeps crashing. It was also weird that my phone feels a little snappier now lol and I didn't lower any animations speed. Any suggestions?
I think thats the screen rotation icon. I dont know, use system UI tuner and see which ones shuts it off.

Wow yeah it is, I never saw it there before using SystemUITuner.
Howdy everyone!
I am having an issue with my S10 not displaying notifications. The only notifications that work is the Messages app. When the phone is on a black screen, the Message app is the only one that will display and notify.
I want my other apps... Nest, Wyze, Meross, etc to do the same as the messaging app.
I have googled for hours and tried almost everything i can think of.
Help?
Are your notification settings turned on for each app under settings then notifications?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I checked for each app.. I have even compared to the actual message app that came on my device.
Beginning to notice this issue also
Since the April Update this happened. Looks like its not an "issue" but a system change.
There used to be a setting where you could turn the messages on/off etc...
For instance, i like that my edge panel lights up, and i get the icon on screen that i have a message.
My wife likes that message to be displayed on the screen so she can see it without having to actually go to it.
Now there is a little messges overlay for the stock app that pops up, similar to FB messenger, I actually like this idea, but that seems to be a huge change and i cant find the setting to revert to the old way.
