Strange Symbol in Status Bar - Blu Vivo 5

Does anyone know what this symbol means, to the left of the Bluetooth symbol? It looks like some kind of lightbulb in a box or something and it's driving me nuts.

Thank you!!! With your guidance, I narrowed it down to the Smart Bright Screen function specifically. I also couldn't figure out why my phone wouldn't sleep automatically sometimes and this knocked that problem out too. Thank you again for replying, made my night!

Strange symbol in Blue Vivo 5
I have in my Blu Vivo 5 phone a symbol on the top tool bar that every time it appears it doesn't let me store photos. It looks like a profile pic. I can send a photo of the symbol.

[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.

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!

[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?

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.

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?

never mind i accidentally clicked the "menu option" of my galaxy win/quattro and then the setting option popped out.
I know this is an old thread, but I don't think this necessarily works i.e. disabling auto-updates per individual app. I recently rooted an lg g4. As far as i know, I have had auto-update turned off, and as i saw the updates running, I checked the play-store to make sure it was off and even checked a few of the apps to make sure autoupdate was turned off and in every case auto update was turned off. and yet the updates still downloaded and updates ran. I would not even have known if I had not been awake at 3am.

Thanks guys. I wonder if it is a AT&T thing. I know it can be done as you have shown, I just wonder how. Are there any other AT&T users that can verify that their S6 does not show the icon. :good:

Thanks 5harkology. So it seems the Australian provider has it and Verizon has it. Odd. No love for AT&T or Sprint...
You can click the pencil and then select what buttons you want to be part of your quick settings. (I don't have phone, but seems like it would work.)

I noticed the pencil icon too but my Edge doesn't have that. Only an edit button and when pressed, you get the screenshot I provided in the OP. Definitely differences in phones...
If you haven't already done so, try turning your hotspot on and off in the settings menu. Then check to see if this brings up the hotspot quick setting. I seem to remember this being the case on my old Nexus 5.
I have an AT&T s6 edge and I don't have the hotspot icon available either.

Yep, tried that with no luck. It seems to be carrier related...

[Solved] Tweak to keep watch always silhouette until tap?

Hi,
I got this watch used, arrived two days ago. I like it so far. Only tweaks done so far is unlock BL.
I want to preserve the battery life as much as possible though, while keeping it usable. So I think there is efficiency to be made by having the watch face stay as a silhouette instead of "waking up" whenever I look at it. To activate the watch, I have no problem with tapping it once or twice.
Does such a tweak exist? I could not find it in settings (only to turn screen off completely when inactive). Any prerequisites for such a tweak (e.g. root)?
Many thanks.
Are you on 5.1.1 (LCA43)? If yes, you can try disabling wrist gestures in watch settings. Of course, you won't be able to move trough cards as well if you disable it, but it will prevent the screen to leave dim mode when you move your wrist.

I tried that before (am on LCA43), but it seems to just disable the scroll. Just tried again, may have made a difference this time. Though it looks like the screen still activates 1 out of the 5 times I put the watch to my face. We shall see. Thanks!
You're correct, my bad! The setting you want is in the Android Wear app: Tilt to wake screen. You may want to keep wrist gestures on.

Found it! The guide I found had the setting on the main page. I had to tap on the actual device listing to get to the sub page with all the goodies (Google probably did it that way so you can program different actions for different watches).
Thanks again!
By the way, one day later with no charge in between. I am proud of this:
