Unknown notification and email envelope notification not showing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Can anyone tell me what the icon notification on the top left of my screen shot is?
Also, I have Gmail and the default email application setup with email accounts but I don't seem to get the envelope icon in the notification area when I get a new email now.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks

You have disable notification (this is why this icon is here and why you have no notification for your new email)

I still don't get it :/. I have the same problem and it has been driving me crazy!
EDIT: Never mind! Got it!

Many thanks.

How do I turn these notifications back on?
Hi
I've got exactly this problem. I never knowingly disabled notifications but now even an SMS won't show it's icon.
I did however install Lightflow... perhaps that caused the issue?
AND the silly left pointing arrow & minus sign icon shows even when there are NO notifications.
Anyway, how do I get these icons to come back?
(PS I'm using a Galaxy S3 but can't edit my signature file below)

Your notifications are off. Pull down your Notification screen and turn on your Notifications. Why they put this in the Notification are, I will never know.

Found it!
Ahh you beat me to it
Thanks I eventually discovered this after exploring some more. I was busily creating a picture when your post came though.
I've attached the picture in case anyone else stumbles across this post with the same issue.

It's easy,
Download and install HTCustom from here:
http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
In the "UI" tab you can select in Clock Display one of these options:
Time, Date, Both, Nothing or Battery
Select the one you like, save and soft reset.
Cheers,
Works a treat, only thing is it now hides the volume and half the signal status icons.
If i tap in the empty space it does bring up the volume slider, The icon is just invisble.
when i open a program its is still shown like above.
If i slide open then close again (refreshing the screen) it looks fine. but once back to the today screen it it goes back to like the image above.
On another tanget, the battery status bar (Lordsmiff's) at the top doesnt always work.
I have to stop and restart the app to get an accurate reading, that or view the power status in the settings tab, then go back to the today screen.
Anyone able to shed some light on either of these matters?
Cheers

You might also try this. It comes in different flavors. I just installed it tho so i dont know if it will have the same problem.

[Q] Unknown empty SMS messages

I use Go SMS on CM 7.0.3 ROM. I frequently (2-3 times a day) get a weird text alert as you can see below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, it says 7pm (and always does regardless of actual time), has no sender, has no content, and does not show up when I actually launch either Go SMS or the regular messages app. It is like a ghost alert with no real message attached. Has anyone else experienced this? What causes it? How do I stop it?
Yes I do.
Yes I do also get this. I have a DroidX with gingerbread. I get it probably more than 3 times a day. I only get it with an actual text message. i have not been able to figure out what is causing it. Please figure out!!!
+ 1, would be great if someone could figure this out, quite annoying
It usually happens when you get a picture message.

I get it everytime i get a normal text.
Anyone figure this out? I just switched from Handcent to Go SMS a few days ago and am now getting these "ghost" messages.
My *guess* is that this may be caused by a combination of Go SMS and some other app. I've recently reset my phone and removed a lot of apps and widgets (like Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets) and haven't had the problem since. Makes me think it may be a widget update of weather or something that is causing this.

I agreed - something to do with MMS notifications and multiple notifications accumulating.
Ive been having it for a little while now, maybe the last month and a bit.
cheers.

[SOLVED]What is this icon on my notification bar?

Can somebody please identify what this and how to get rid of it? It doesn't allow any other icons to show unless I pull down the notification bar. It's the icon on the upper left hand corner of the notification bar. It's a grey box with a minus symbol in the middle.

Seems like nobody is psychic on here. Unless you post photos or explain in details, you won't get an answer

My bad sorry, trailed off halfway through the description so I could insert the image xD It's the icon on the upper left hand corner of the notification bar. It's a grey box with a minus symbol in the middle.
Its a trap!!!
Do you have notifications turned off? Check your toggle in the notification tray.

Pull down the notification bar, scroll right at the top where you have wifi, GPS, sound etc and select "notifications". Your minus sign will go and ordinary notification icons reappear.
Answer after a month and four days? lol
And it has already been answered too!
Methinks thou shouldst stay off ye olde crack good sir.

[Q] Gray Arrow with minus or plus sign

I keep reading that the gray arrow with the minus or plus sign is "notifications off" but I don't see a toggle to turn it on or off. It's not in the pull down menu, even if I go right or left. Tmobile and others seem to have it, so maybe AT&T doesn't have the toggle? Where is the setting to turn it on or off?
Looks like this

I asked twice and no one helped. They just said it was there, look. Are people just going to ignore me?
edit: it was moved, sorry good sir, but I asked on other forums (international galaxy s 3) and they didn't say anything.
What do you see when you access the notification menu with the toggles ?

Nothing, no notifications. I think it changes when I get one, shows a + instead of a - sign. But I rebooted it and it went away. Not sure why it came up in the first place and not sure how to fix it (besides a reboot)
When I installed the chrome browser and did the login the plus thing happened to me too. And when I pulled down the notification bar I was able to click on the plus arrow and it took me to a password login area. Hope that helps bro.

I know that I get the + icon when I have a crap load of notifications (not enough room to show all icons in the status bar). Not sure about the -. Maybe it wants you to hurry up and clear some notifications?

Icon on notification bar - what is it?

After upgrading to 4.3 I now have this weird icon on my notification bar.
Anyone know what it is? The icon between Bluetooth and Alarm Clock

It's the NFC icon. You can disable it by going to Settings/more and uncheck it

Ah! Thanks. That's annoying. I liked it before the update when there was no icon for it.
Notification bar is now full even without notifications :/
Oh well. LG G3 will be here soon.
Were you running a custom rom before the update? With an exception of the NFC icon, all of the same icons existed on stock Sense 4.

No. Always stock from day one.
No, the notifications on the left never existed before this update either.

the notifications with the </> can be disabled by viewing them in the pull down and long pressing on the item, choosing "app info" which will take you to that specific app, and if you don't want to see those notifications uncheck the "show notifications" option - I did this for the ones that would come up when I have my device connected via USB to computer as my notification bar was too full
