i circled an icon in the screenshot attached. for the life of me i cant figure out what it's for. it shouldn't bother me but it does for some reason. does anyone know what its for? it must have something to do with networking because it goes away in airplane mode.

It has been killing me trying to figure out what that is.

Actually I have tried google. Didn't work out for me. Asking was waaaaaaaaayyyy faster. I even tried to look at the full phone manual, but couldn't find it.
This icon?

I find myself transferring and using the NFC/S beam a lot with my friends. I don't like to keep it on all the time to save battery.
Do you guys know of any toggle or widget to make the on/off process faster?
What do you use?
Sent from my SGH-T999
I think Switch pro widget allows you to make a an NFC on/off toggle widget. Check it out:

Its ¢.99, but it may be just what you're looking for

What do you mean by that? There is no such thing as settings/s beam without going through "more settings", at least on Touchwiz. Please elaborate.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have downloaded the app and it does have an NFC toggle that takes you straight to the NFC/S beam setting. It would have been nice for the switch to turn it on.

I'm completely stock as well, when you choose the settings Widget, it would give you the option to choose s beam, a lot easier than going under settings, and more settings...

Also the "AdvanceS" app, allows you you to set an on/off toggle for "beam" and "NFC"

Last night I saw this icon twice the only way I was able to get rid of it was once I rebooted my phone. Also with the icon in place I wasnt able to pull down notification bar nor take screenshot pic. Very weird and confusing , does anyone know the cause of that icon being in place ?? Anyone else gone through same situation ? Thanks guys

Hmmmmm its the only one I know for sure with that symbol. Im looking on google though. What apps have you installed? If it does it again, what happenes when you drop down the status bar and click it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I did notice that it sort of happened after my apps automatically updated and one of those was busy box not sure if thats the case. But when it did happen I wasnt able to drop down my notification bar at all till I rebooted the phone , and I use busy box for wifi tether only . I had simplistic control app installed but uninstalled it since it didnt work

Well its not a stock samsung icon unless you were mistaken. Are you sure it wasnt one of these? If not, its definitely a different app you installed somewhere along the line.

Crazy. And you checked in settings/ application manager for trickster mod? Make sure you look under all applications.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Just checked and no trickster mod. Im guessing it has to be an app I have installed, going to have to figure it out if I get it again . Thanks by the way

No problem. If it pops up again, select it from the status bar. If we're lucky, it will open the app up that it belongs to.

I got something similar the other night. Pulled it down and it was a severe weather warning. Not sure if it was from tmobile or hd widgets (the weather part).

So I noticed my S3 randomlly turns on when its just sitting all alone. I am somewhat familiar with what to do, so I got betterbattery stats.
Just for clarity, I'm supposed to be checking kernel wakelocks?
It has no info atm, but ill let it gather some data and check it tomorrow.

You are saying that an app is waking up the phone, turning the screen on?
Post the BBS text log for us to look at.
Yeah, that's what I think is happening.
That's where I need some help, how do I get that log?

I just flashed Jedi Master X2 and it appears that there is a missing notification. It's the one between vibrate and LTE. Looks like something is missing.
Anyone else run into this?

It's the wifi icon, you can try to disable/enable wife and see if it shows up.

This is a common inquiry on the master x thread. By most accounts it should be getting attention from the dev for the 3rd release.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
This is a known issue. Some of the notifications like the little eye is not showing up correctly. It will be fixed for the next update. I myself went back to Jedi x because I missed my pop up note feature

Any update for this issue? I installed JediRom today and I have this missing space there.
The one that had it, some advice/fix?
Thank you very much in advance!

Don't know what it was, I just choose another carrier when flashing, I chose AT&T instead of T-mobile even when my model is the SGH-889, but since I'm from another country it doesn't matter.
