Hello. I have purchase the Samsung Galaxy S3 from a seller here in Greece and since upgrading to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 have had an issue with NFC. I reset the phone but problem does exist.The Icon in the notification bar to turn it on/off is blank, and nothing happens when I press it. If I then go into Settings>More Settings and then turn NFC on, it works. The icon in the Notification Bar then goes green and the NFC icon appears. However, then when I press the icon in the Notification bar I get the "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." message, and I need to restart the phone. Have tried adding and removing the icon from the notifications bar, but that hasn't helped. Is this a bug? I have heared that some people have the same problem.
I have the exact same issue here.... My version is 4.1.2 CSC: I9300ZTOEMA3
Odp: NFC Icon in Notifications Bar Not Working!
I had the same problem on my s3 and note2 but it seems that the bug has been fixed in the latest SW. I am working at Samsung's RD so I can inform devs very quickly about issues

Well you are going to be very popular round here! Have a word with them about multi tasking
The problem does still exist. Is there any solution?
Looks that it's working with the latest BTU EMB5 (for me it is)

you have to take the toggle out of the notification bar, reboot then you can add it again and it will work however whenever you reboot the phone or at least most of the time you reboot the phone it will vanish again and you have to repeat what i said. its the only annoying thing about the phone to me and it is definitely a fw issue just hope it gets fixed. havent tried emb5 so cant say if that fixed it or not

i have same problem with EUR ROM.
i thought it will disappear if i install another csc,i tried SEE for southern Europe but still
the same.
its a pity since i want NFC but i want to switch off my phone when not needed.
Samsung service here in Crete was unable to fix it.
they want to send it to Samsung Athens.
Xblast Tools (xposed framework module) fixes this problem. (Try playing with the notifications tranparency. It also boosts the statusbar/notifications when pulling down up. It makes it far more fluent.) I am on stock 4.1.2
i have same problem , what should i do?

Hi all,
Just updated my SIII with the OTA update (Android 4.0.4) and I now have a random icon on the status bar I can't get rid of? (See image)
The icon is in the top left of the screen (Looks like an Info sign crossed out?)
Galaxy S III Screenshot
I've looked in the manual but there is nothing written about this icon? Anybody have a clue what it is? Or how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Matt
It just means you have notifications turned off (they changed the icon to match the one you turn it on with in the notifications drop-down and hence it's not in the manual)
Only way to remove it is switch notification back on.

Thank you very much for that! :laugh:
No worries, I only know because the old icon did my nut in for the same reason (couldn't figure out what the hell it was!)
I also have an icon sticking there but mine is a grey square inside which there is a minus. I find it so annoying! Is there a way to remove it? What does it even mean?
dasistsparta, that actually sounds like the old icon for notifications (assume you haven't updated your firmware to XXBLFB yet)
Try turning notifications on and see if it goes away.

Turning notifications back on removes that icon. Thanks!
On my stock ICS ROM there used to be a toggle button that enabled me to hide the notifications in the notification bar. A very usefull feature as I use my phone a lot to show technical pictures to customers and when sms and what'sapp notifications pop up, it doesn't look all that professional. On the different Jelly Bean ROMS i can't find this option anymore. Has it just disappeared from Jelly Bean? Or do i need another ROM? Now using Omega V27.1. Thank you for any advice.

It's there on jb.. Press and hold the notification.. You will get an option to go to app info.. From there you can toggle notifications on and off
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It's been rolled into the "Blocking mode" feature. Open (the main) Settings from your app drawer and you can configure it from there. If Omega uses the original toggles (and not the 15 toggles), you can also configure Blocking mode from the notification bar (and turn it on and off from there).

Looks like even if i enable blocking mode, my notifications still show up. Is it the ROM?

Apologies for my incorrect reply, it does seem to be removed - the notifications feature of blocking mode only seems to refer to incoming call notifications

Maybe the service gets killed, had that to with another app. They updated it and now it's working fine. So i think it's an app fault.
Don't know if you have root and if it's possible for your phone version, but if it's possible you can flash a siyah or dorimanx kernel which has a BLN function. But i warn you, be carefull.
I tried other apps like led blinker those kind of apps to provide notifications for 3rd party apps like whats app and facebook
It needs to be enabled from setting >accessibilty
As soon as i do so i get this annoying voice mentioning number of pages
I neee help the voice killing me
Hey guys,
I've been trying to figure out why the NFC icon is missing from the status bar. NFC is turned on in Settings and Quick Settings; but the icon isn't present on the statusbar.
I checked NFC, and it worked when I tried to pair my SmartBand and my M8.
I haven't tried restoring the phone, but I have serious doubts that would fix (this is the last resort).
Any suggestion so far?
I'm unrooted, and I haven't unlock my bootloader.

go to settings > personalization > quick settings
see if the NFC icon is checked?
edit: oops.. just seen you went to check on quick settings, then i got no idea sorry maybe restart the phone?
Have you accidently pressed "hide NFC icon" in the settings?
Never mind you can't hide NFC.

Certain versions of FW don't display the NFC icon by default even though its activated.
You have 2 options;
Flash a FW with the NFC icon displayed, or
Root the phone and modify the buildprop to show the NFC icon.

Thank you for the answer! Unfortunately, me being impatient… I wasted time flashing another firmware. Oh well, not all is lost… only time!

This may have been covered but I cannot find it....

I have just upgraded my s5 to 5.0 and enabled lockscreen notifications, but I cannot seem to get rid of the gear fit notification.
Does anyone have a work around for this ?
I have even tried to force notifications OFF but it is greyed out
This is really annoying me!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try long-pressing the notification and you should get a little menu of buttons. Tap the info icon (circle with an "i" in it). From there you should be able to disable persistent notifications.

So Gear Fit Manager is working for you on Lollipop? Are you using an official version of GFM 1.98 or a modified version?
Hi.
Gear fit works perfectly. No issues at all.
I am using the uk O2 OTA update.
The only issue is that there is a constant notification to say gear fit is connected.
If I disconnect the Gear fit then I can swipe the notification away.
Just not when it is connected.
Did you solve that problem?

have that too, really annoying. Shame on Samsung for not working this out.
