Status Bar - Device Status Icons Question - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a status icon but I don't know what it means. The icon looks like a ear with two little sound waves on it. It looks similar to "Speakerphone On" but there is a ear instead of the phone. I looked in the user manual, but it is not there. It is to the left of the GPS icon. Anyone know what this icon means?

Hearing Aid Icon
Please disregard my post, I figured it out. It is a hearing aid icon. You can turn if off and on here:
Settings > Call > Hearing aid..
I am not sure how I turned it on.

Curious as to what an unknown tray icon was.

Hi i did a search using both the forums built in search and google but i still could not find an answer.
I noticed a tray icon popped up recently on my device, i don't think it's harmful or because of any newly installed application (all i have is PTTFix on it right now and a few registry tweaks) but i was still curious as to what it was.
The icon looks like "!" with a red circle that consists of an arrow.
Thank you in advance!
If it's the Icon I'm thinking of it is what I've been seeing as of late when I set my phone to silent or vibrate and I too have the PTTFix as well as a few other items including the HTC Home theme
I agree, that on mine it's the phone icon when it's set to silent or vibrate.
Yep that appears to be it, thanks for the heads up!
Can't seem to find anything in the wiki to remove it, seems like a redundant icon to have when the top bar clearly shows if the phone is on vibrate/silent.
Now you know what, how about why?
As standard, the phones don't go into Vibrate when you hold the Comm Manager button. This was an add on program by someone here (think Khypur, apologies if I'm wrong) and produced that tray icon when the phone's in Vibrate just to let you know. Since this program came out, it's been integrated into most people's ROMs, hence the icon when the phone's in Vibrate mode.
I personally agree that I'd prefer my ROM without the icon, but I'd also prefer my ROM with "holding Comm Manager button setting/unsetting Vibrate" so I'm quite happy putting up with the icon to get this!

Its that vibrate icon that pops up when you put your phone in vibrate. Its present in AT&T and almost all ROM's based on AT&T.
yes i concur

Vibrate/Speaker icon in status bar after installing CM7

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.

Wi-Fi calling notification

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?

[Q] notification bar question

Hello! Just got the unlock version a couple days ago and I am using lightning launcher; it is awesome. My issue is with call and text notifications, how do I make the fire phone display that I have a new call/text or missed a call on the status bar. This is really frustrating, hope someone can help me.
I don't think this is possible without replacing the systemui file. The only other option would be to use omega status bar, or super status bar, which are basically status bar overlays.
So I did install omega status bar but it still wont show call or text notifications in the status bar. Can you tell me how to set it up? Even the app icon itself is not even showing that I have recieved a call or text.
I think you will benefit from reading the tips and tricks thread that's created. Member jondecker76 and myself branch out on a lot of helpful tips to use this as a daily device.

Problem - Notifications - The notification bar doesn't keep a log of icons of notifications. For example, if I get a KIK message it drops down, previews it, and vanished. Unless I open up the notification panel there is nothing to remind you of this. This bothers me as I often don't review them straight away and forget it even happened.
Solution- Notifications - I've toggled all the options regarding notifications in the settings. My original complaint still exists. This was a HUGE set back for me with this device. Luckily, with a lot of trial and error, I found an app that works well for me. It's call NotifierPro Free. I configured it so a bar drops down and stays under the status bar. I also configured it so these notifications remain until I swipe them away. This has been a HUGE help in allowing me to adapt to this device.
