Does someone know how I can have a status icon for the gps - idle 3d lock, 2d lock, no lock?
I got a program called GPSSpot from here, but although it works, I don't get the icon in the taskbar.
Just to clarify, that as taskbar I meant the top bar (next to the 3G, bluetooth icons etc.). GPSSpot actually did displayed the icon, but put it on the bottom of the today screen (i.e. not visible while using panels).

Anyone else get this? Can you try please?
If I start up the GPS from settings (or the power widget) I don't get the little notification icon (the one that looks like a satellite dish) on the bar at the top of the home screen (or it only appears for a second then goes.)
However, if GPS is enabled and I start up maps, navigation or something like Wikitude, then the notification does display (and the app instantly gives me my location.)
Was it always so? I have a memory that under 2.1 when turned on, it displayed the notification icon when no relevant app was used and indeed of it telling me no GPS lock as I was indoors? So has it gone from a "Select On" state (in which it was enabled and notification was shown even if no app requiring it was enabled) to a sort of "background mode" in which it only shows the notification (and thus actually works?) if an app which requires it is used?
But aren't there uses for location that aren't to do with actual apps?
Someone? Press that button and tell me if the notification flag shows if you aren't in an app.
The notification only comes up if an app is requesting a location.
This was the same in 2.1 although most of the time when you start the gps, it's from within the app rather than in settings so the location is requested immediately.
Hi,
as far as I remember it was like this on 2.1, too.
And I think it's right, you activate GPS and when it's actually used you get notified.
Is there any way to get rid of the "vibrating phone" or speaker icon in the status bar? Obviously they were meant for a phone and not a tablet. It's not a big thing, but the icons are essentially useless. I've tried turning off every vibrate option for sound, but when I do I still get the speaker icon in its place.
Anyone notice that sometimes it doesn't show AT&T on left corner of taskbar? It always shows on lock screen but sometimes on home screen its not there. Also sometimes when the phone reconnects to wifi and pops the notification of that it makes the carrier name go away. It comes back with a tap of the taskbar so not a problem. I was just curious if anyone else was seeing this.:laugh:
nevermind with the lockscreen
The Wi-Fi calling feature is certainly one of the grand highlights of this phone.
It even comes with an altered status bar icon to let you know the feature is activated.
Alas, with it *also* comes an ever-present notification "Calls will be made over Wi-Fi / Tap here to access preferences" in case you didn't notice the status bar icon change.
Does anyone know how to make this zero-information notification go away?
Hi guys,
In my S20+ when I try to select any QT on my lock screen, the notification bar closes by itself after drawing it down. I can't select any of the QS. Have you guys had the same problem?
Mine does not behave that way. On the lockscreen, I can pull down the notification bar and toggle some settings (BT, sound, DND, autorotate) and the changes take effect but the notification bar stays down. Some toggles require my PIN before taking effect, but the notification bar never scrolls up by itself. I know this doesn't help you sort it out, but letting you know it is not universal behavior.

My S10 Plus with an update that added the power button to the notification bar introduced that bug to :/
