"Silent notification" on status bar dropdown - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I just updated my phone to android 10 but since the update this silent notification appeared and won't go away.
Does anyone know what causes that notification?

Try changing the notification settings in "health" app.

I see.. thank you!
Apparently it only appears when I set the notification setting to be silent. No way to remove unless the notification is changed to normal. But by changing it to normal the icon is always shown in the status bar.
Kinda liked it how it was before. No difference between silenced and normal notifications.

[Q] Icon in Status bar after OTA Update

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!

Annoying Notification on Lockscreen

I am rooted, and am curious if there is any way to replace the version of the lockscreen that comes with the s4 with a version that doesn't have the annoying yellow notification that pops up every time. I tried Nils and Dashclock, but the default notification takes focus and I have to swipe back to get to the notification screen I want to see. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable the stock notification, so I was wondering if it is possible to replace it so that these programs can work like they are supposed to?

What "yellow notification" are you talking about? Are you talking about that kind of "sunburst" effect when you first turn your screen back on? If so, you can change that at Settings> My device>Lock screen>Unlock effect

It's not a transition effect, it's a notification of a missed call or a new text. I have Nils notification widget as the only window on my lock screen. When I get a new text it opens up another window and shows me a notification of who texted me. I have to swipe back to see the Nils notification widget. I haven't been able to find out how to turn it off that default notification and still recieve notifications through other widgets. I have seen threads at adroidfourms with people asking the same question, but there doesn't seem to be an easy fix.

no progress getting xposed to work on lollipop?

I recently upgraded to lollipop and want to remove that pointless carrier name in the top left corner of the screen. if xposed still doesn't work, is there another, similar app that does?

Settings->Display
Here you will see "Display Carrier Name" with option to turn it off. Turn it off and you are done.
Might as well turn off the "Display Network Speed" too while you are here.

brilliant, thanks!
any chance do you know how or if we can turn off vibrate when receiving a notification? I was able to set my default notification tone as "drip", but I don't want it to vibrate. thanks

You should be able to go to settings in your notifications, and toggle vibrate to off.

Missing Notifications? (No Sound, No LED, etc.?) Possible Fix.

Does the LED notification light not work? Mine only ever shows when the phone is plugged in. I can't get it to flash when I have notifications, even though all settings in Android settings seem to be turned on

The problem is due to all the PER-app notification permissions. (I was missing notifications all the time. )
The next time you miss a notification: (Instructions are for MIUI12 but should be similar for MIUI1. I think the upgrade may have also reset some of the notification settings):
Swipe down on the status bar from the top left.
Long-press on the notification that you missed.
Click MORE SETTINGS. (The app in question will display.)
Ensure "Show Notifications" is enabled.
Allow Sound, Vibration, LED.
Below Notification Categories, press on one of the notification sub-categories:
Ensure "Show Notifications" is enabled for the sub-category. Change "Importance" to Default or High. (If it is "LOW", the other options are disabled.)
Change the notificaiton SOUND, Vibration, LED as desired.
If the missing notification isn't appearing in the status bar or if you want to fix the problem with other apps, you will have go to SETTINGS | NOTIFICATIONS and find the app yourself.
tried all the above...still does not work
Today: Poco X3 PRO + MIUI 12.5.1 and still the same problem. How could it be broken for so long? Maybe no one cares

Question How to Hide Persistent App Icon

So I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro to the galaxy s23 ultra. It's my first Samsung phone so I'm still getting familiar with the Samsung flavor of Android.
Is there a way to hide/not display an apps persistent notification icon from the status bar? I use a diabetic monitoring app(xdrip+) which has to always be running for obvious reasons. The app produces a graph which is always visible when I pull down the notification bar, I like that peice and want to keep it. However having the icon displayed in the status bar at all times is an eye sore.
On the pixel (and previously my oneplus 7 pro) I could set the notification to "silent" and it would hide the icon but would still display the graph in the notification bar. I can't find a way to mirror that on my galaxy s23. I can disable the persistent notification all together, but then I lose access to the handy graph.
When the notification shade is down and all notifications are visible you tap and hold the notification you want to change and after a moment a few options will appear and you tap settings and it takes you yo settings for that notification

I tried that, and setting it to "silent" didn't do anything sadly. I also tried disabling the notification entirely but that sadly made the graph go away as well.

Ahhhhh thank you. I fooled around a bit in there before but didn't realize that there were sub options within sub options. Thank you so much for the help, I'm now able to hide the icon.
