Unknown icon in notification bar - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I am on wicked rom. The sim was out of my S3 due it being in my S4. I messed up my S4 and put the sim back in my S3. When I did I got a phone icon with 2 drops. Please see pic at this link

Can anyone tell me what this is?

It's hard to say with the picture you provided. Try booting into safe mode and see if you get it, if you don't then its an app you installed.

How do you boot into safe mode?

Should be how to do it.

If it's not there it's one of your installed apps, I would try clicking on the notification, does it open anything? It should open the app or something, if it dont then long press the notification and then tap "app info" it should take you the application manager and bring up the app that is displaying that notification.

Looks like your log provider apk is force closing. Are you running a stock or custom rom?

how do I do that?

If you are rooted and have a custom recovery get into recovery (hold power and volume up and when you see the first samsung screen you can let go) scroll down to advance use the power button to select then scroll down to fix permissions power to select if asked choose yes and it will do it's thing usually takes a couple minutes when finished reboot and hopefully it will be problem solved
I only have the Android recovery

Oic yea can't do it with stock recovery
Go to applications in settings and then go to list all apps. See if the app is there. If it is, clear cache and see if that fixes it.
Also temporarily, you could try to use terminal emulator from play store to kill the process. Not sure if you need root to kill.
Type...
Code:
ps
to list processes
Code:
kill PID
to kill the specific process. Pid of the process to kill will be shown when you first type ps.

I went to apps and found the app.. Clear cache wasn't an option so I forced it to stop. I don't get the pop up anymore but when I click the phone app or my messenger app, it just goes to a black screen.

How to get rid of quick remote?

How can I get rid of quick remote from notification bar? Even after freezing the app it still shows on there can't seem to find any setting to the it off the notification bar drop down menu. Anyone having an idea? Using a LG G Pro.

Are you talking about quick remote or quick memo? I don't think quick remote stays in notification bar. Or are you talking about slides?

Here is a screen shot. Ever since I activated this app the remote stays and can't be taken off. I even froze the app and it still is in the notification drop down menu.

Oh, I think I had that same problem. I think I had to delete all the devices to get it to stop doing this. Also, it has a feature that allows it to automatically start devices when it connects to your home WiFi. Make sure that is disabled first. If that is not the problem then simply delete all devices you have set up in the app and it should stop.

Nope that doesn't help. It is only for the remote to show up automatically when connected to a WiFi connection you can select. Also freezing doesn't help it either. I also can't swipe it off the notification bar. It sits here forever.

Then delete tv1 and it should go away. If you have other devices set up you'll have to delete them also. This is why I quit using this app.

You might try SD Maid. Open the app, slide over to app control tab, tap screen to refresh app list, then scroll down to quick remote, tap it, then select freeze app. You can also use SD Maid to delete apps. You might have to buy the pro version. Not sure.

LG told me there would be no way ones opened the app to get the notification bar remote status gone. That is totally stupid.

You should just be able to tap on the QuickRemote button again in your drop down. If you've removed the button (or never had it in your dropdown toggles), then swipe all the way to the right of your dropdown toggles to "Edit" and then hit the "+" in the upper right corner. Now, when you tap on the QuickRemote toggle, it will toggle the controls that appear in your notification dropdown.
I hope that helps. What I described is the normal behavior on my device. I haven't removed or frozen the app and I'm stock/rooted.

(MOD) how to disable home button from waking up your screen. Must have root.

I was having a lot of issues with the home button waking my phone while my phone was in my pocket and it was driving me crazy so I figured out how to disable it. And I figured some other note 3 users might want to do the same. So here it is.
You must have root
And app like root explorer
Go to root, system, usr, keylayout, scroll down to the file gpio-keys.kl, Mount to R/W and open with text editor. You'll see the key layout for wake selections on the one listed as HOME delete the word wake and all the spaces between it, now hit menu and save and exit.
View attachment 2335081 before edit
View attachment 2335082 finished edit
If you can't view the pictures on the mobile app just open in a browser and you should be able to see them fine.
Once that's done reboot the phone and the home button won't wake the device anymore.
Enjoy

This can also be done by installing exposed framework and the wanam app from the market. Many other customization as well. I have found that absolutely every single settings work within the wanam app except the multi window setting.

Thanks for mentioning the exposed framework. It does work amazing if you want to add a lot of changes. but if you just need the button disabled, it is easy to edit those 3 wake commands.
What ever works best.

No but if you open your text messages, click menu button, then settings, then the top right option for more settings, the unchecked screen on. That will turn that off for you.

Unknown Icon Notification

So I get this icon that shows my CPU usage and battery that appeared randomly on my notification bar. I'm not sure how it got there but I'm quite used to it now and like the looks of it. Does anyone know how to enable or disable it just incase it goes away on it's own? Or should I be aware of it because it can be a harmful third party app?

Are you using any 3rd party app that monitor your cpu status ect.? I know when I used "Quick System Info" app I had the option to shows those info on my status bar.
Does it also show in the drop down panel? If it does long press on it and chose "App info".

Open your notifications and tap and hold the notification then click app info.
Nothing shows when I drag the notification bar but the same thing it does now. It covers my icons under it and if I were to be on Youtube watching a video on fullscreen it still shows. I haven't installed anything in about a week either. I don't want to take it to T-Mobile and ask since my phones rooted also

Can you provide a list of apps that you have installed? It would help narrow down which programs have the permission to draw overlays and that would likely reveal the culprit. Also, have you tried disabling the Xposed framework to make sure it's not one of the modules you installed (doubt it, but worth the trouble)?

You've installed something recently or changed an app's settings recently. That is an output from a monitoring app. CPU, GPU, or something of that sort.
You need to check that app(s) and uncheck whatever seems to point to showing it.
