Help hiding the VPN icon in Touchwiz - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In stock Android previous to 5.0 the VPN icon appears as an annoying persistent key in the top left like this:
{
"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"
}
After 5.0 they moved it as a system icon to the right and it can be turned off or adjusted.
It looks like this:
It seems like in Touchwiz they never updated this and the key is still on the left. Even if you're using 5.1.1 (I assume 6.0 will be the same.)

2 Questions:
1) Without rooting, is there a way to remove or hide that icon?
2) Is there a way to file a bug or ticket with Samsung to let them know to fix this in the new Touchwiz? Or some other way of contacting them?

1) Long press on the notification and see if you can disable the notifications there.
2) ha Good luck with that.

Is it possible you changed your HD's taskbar by using third party app?
I have never seen a battery and date indicator like yours on officila ROMs.
Maybe you should place your question in the thread you got your taskbar from.

Nope, this is a software call BattClock and has nothing to do with 3G icon because 3G icon is missing before I install it. Anyway, I fixed myself, I replaced phcanOverbmp.dll and now the icon is back.
As long as it works....

LastPass icon suddenly keeps appearing?

Hi.
I've been using LastPass and the fill in helper for ages now.
Just the other day it has started sowing it's logo in the notification tray but at times when there aren't even log ins for it to fill in.
Any ideas why or how to get rid?

I do not have it yet but it seems you are running a newer version.
Go to Settings > App > Lastpass and uncheck the notification icon.
Unchecking the notification option in Settings will guarantee that you'll never see it again, even when you need it. Careful.

Did you find an option to uncheck in the settings? I'm still on the old version...
Yes, there's quite a few fill helper settings and you can disable. I wouldn't mind if it was there at the right times but often it's not is won't be there when you do want it!

Data usage in notifications

Hey, just a quick question. Before the Marshmallow update, you could monitor on the data usage in the notifications screen (see screenshot). It is not there anymore. Also it is not possible anymore to define the tracking cycle for data usage.
Am I blind our did they forget those options?

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Yep its gone in missing it aswell. Im using My Data Manager app for now
Hmm, that blows. Was that an Android or a huawei functionality?
Don't know if that's the only missing item courtesy Marshmallow update on the Honor 5X but on mine it no longer shows the Download Progress Status arrow on any incoming. I can see it in Google Play but is missing from the top status area.
For me still shows the download status during updates
Same here. Only data usage is missing. Any idea where to report this?

It's not at all so critical to me but just missing during progress downloads, but can anyone suggest some setting that i might look at to test if i can re-enable it?

Would you know how this affect battery?
ONE GR8 8
Still no, I setup it today and I had half battery already. Will see from tommorow.
I installed the update but now it keeps crashing, making the phone freeze completely for a short period. Anyone know of a way to roll back?

Question no scrubber for spotify/youtube on oneplus 10t locksreen (android 12)

so pretty happy with my new 10t...only thing is that the Spotify playback doesn't have scrubber option on lock screen even when i swipe down on it...tried all notification settings but to no avail...anyone got any ideas why?
https://imgur.com/NAtffkw
also in the notification drawer, the spotify/youtube playback window is small and not expanding across as can be seen below:
https://imgur.com/a/GdabwA0
is there anyway to get it like this?
https://imgur.com/a/nyPiFkQ
no one?
If I swipe down and expand out the quick settings I get the scrubber. This works both on the lock screen and any other screen. I have not changed any settings related to this, just works as default.
