I got my first Android phone on a Friday. Having a blast with it. But, I've been trying to find out what this is. Can't figure it out. Tried searching for it but can't find it.
It showed up on Saturday and never goes away.
Icon on the left.

I was thinking Settings too. But why is the icon on the left side, all the time. And how do I remove it?
any chance its a blue half circle? if so its the multiwondow app selector, just hold the back button to make it go away

I've personally never seen it. I also don't have Facebook installed. I would do the suggestion above, or try touching it and see what happens. You may just need to confirm something.
It doesn't go away even after pressing clear notification. I've tried pressing it. Nothing.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Is there a way to have the stock calender app default to the month view like the og evo did?
In case anyone else was having trouble with this I figured it out. Hold down the month icon and drag it to the left so that it's first on The list.

Thank you for this, wanted agenda view first and it now works!!
This doesnt work for me. It keeps defaulting to "day"
Danny, go to all apps > calender . Then look at the bottom you will see 4 icons. For you day is probably first. Long press the day icon until the screen turns black and it will say press and hold icons to rearrange. You can sort the 4 icons and by sorting month icon all the way on the left side it will now default to month.
Mine will always just reopen the last tab I was in. Doesn't matter what order I put it in. If I end in month...it will open in month the next time.

Thank you for trying to help. Unfortunately that is exactly what I did(as per reading your second post) and it did not work. Ive moved all of the icons around multiple times. I have DAY at the end of the row now and it still defaults to it. I even tried dragging that icon up out of the bottom row but it wouldnt let me.

SO a few nights ago I noticed a strange an new icon in my notification bar. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this or know what it is?
see attchment
Also my wife has the exact same thing on her S5
It's got to be one of your apps giving you notifications.
Anything further down in the process menu or under the "All" apps tab that may give you a clue?
Not that I can tell, I started killing off the ones that I know and went from there. Still no effect.
Can you click on it?
No I've tried nothing happens, if I do get again I will kill more apps and see what happens

Ive reproduced your issue. If you move the widget at all it removes the popup. Tap and hold the widget and dont move it AT ALL then you should see the popup. Tap on remove. Don't drag the widget to it

I'm having this exact same problem. Has anyone found a solution to it?
---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------
I just figured it out. If Animator Duration Scale in developer options is turned off, then for some reason it disables the popup menu that shows when long pressing a widget or shortcut. I turned it back to 1.0 and I am now able to delete widgets and shortcuts. Now I'm off to reinstall all of the apps that I uninstalled while trying to troubleshoot this issue.

I posted this same issue in another thread when I had an issue - you need at least .5 set in order for that menu to pop up. Stupid, I know.

Maybe they'll fix it. In the meantime, I do have it set to .5.
Basically whenever I miss a call the dialer shows me in a notification dot for example if I miss 2 calls it shows 2 in the top corner of the apps icon, however they won't go away and are now slowly building up.. I've called the person back, click on the missed call, went through and cleared call history, force stopped the app etc. Doesn't seem to do anything, any idea? Thanks
I have the same issue

It's not just the dialer, it's ALL of the apps that allow notification dots on the home screen. There's not even a specific pattern when they do or don't do it. Very frustrating, especially since I've turned notification dots off.

The only temporary solution I've found so far is a full reboot but definitely not worth the inconvenience, really annoying...

Same problem on my Xparia 1. I deleted cache, stopped the dialer app and so on but no luck. Only a factory reset solved the problem for me. That's very annoying.
Hi,
I am on latest version of coloros 7. I have tried everything I know but have not been able to get rid of these home screen animations which look like brackets at the border of the bottom edges.
Please help.
Attaching pics for clear picture. Note the brackets () at the bottom edges.

I have tried resetting themes to default. Home screen settings to different drawer styles. Changing icon types. Assistive ball off.
Everything literally in home screen and lock screen magazine menu.
The thing is it happens only in full screen mode. With navigation buttons, those brackets dont exist.
Btw, do you have these jn your mobile?

There is also a line in the middle which is aligned with the bottom edge. Its not associated with home screen settings. I have no idea what it is.

I have absolutely no idea to be honest.
Have a look and see if there are any toggles you can turn on or off.
One at a time. Check. If no...turn back on/off. Check another.
Just a thought.
As I said...I cannot replicate the issue you have and it is clear that you have some settings on your device that I don't, so I'm kind of looking at this blindly

On a different topic, could you suggest me a good back cover and screen guard for the device.

No problem.
I still have the original case and film screen protector that came in the box.
Found the solution
This is pretty much a swipe up to trigger google assistant, it appears when you turn on gesture control and it's a prompt (albeit not a very good one) to make you understand how to trigger it .
Since you can't swipe up from the middle to activate the assistant you need to swipe from the corners , do so 5 or 6 times and eventually the prompt disappears.
