I used to have the mt3g and when the GPS was on it would put an icon in the notification tray, and when I turned the GPS off then icon would go away.
whyyyyy in "sense" (the use of quotations was to infer irony) does the GPS icon let me know that it's NOT ON by displaying the symbol with a slash through it? it's just a waste of space up there. am i just being a moron and missing some sort of setting that changes this? does this annoy anyone else? and most importantly, is there a way to change this?

Is there a way we can make the stupid thing GO AWAY completely? We may have a 4.3in screen but i'm picky about my screen real estate
on a side note, they should have upped the resolution on this phone.
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.
I've been using an old Palm bluetooth keyboard with my android devices since switching from a Palm device several years ago. I just recently purchased a BT keyboard specifically designed for the Note 10.1 2014 and from first connection noticed this bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen whenever the keyboard is in use. The little button with the "^" in the corner doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what it's for. Is this something that normally happens with BT keyboards and I haven't encountered it because I've been using an older Palm BT keyboard?
Looks like a placeholder for a nav bar, which the note don't need, or ads. Ad blockers which work with non-rooted devices produce such empty placeholders.
I'm not running any ad blocker (even though my device is rooted), but this only shows up when I first connect the BT keyboard??? Weird stuff.
Well, the black bar still persists except that I figure out a workaround to get rid of it. It's just a matter of connection order. I have to turn on the keyboard first, then turn on BT on the tablet, go to a text field and when the onscreen keyboard pops up just press the spacebar and on the external keyboard and I'm good to go -- no black bar and a completely functional external keyboard.

this didnt work, did you end up figuring oout whwat causes this? im usung a galaxy note pro 12.2
I did not figure out any other way to avoid it happening other than the work-around I mentioned. I believe it's the auto-spelling-correct or maybe the auto-complete, but don't know for sure.
I have the same problem on my note 12.2. Simple install "External Keyboard Helper" from Play Store and enable the on screen keyboard and choose "External Keyboard Helper" if you will be asked. Now your BT keyboard is a soft-Keyboard and no black bar was seen again.
I don't know how it happen but the "TIME" is now on the far left and my notification or on the top right side of the screen. I also notice that the Smart Remote App flipped to from left to right 3,2,1.......
It's annoying. I am on N910VOYU1ANL1 , I have not made any changes since I rooted back in November.
Any help?
I've been using adb overscan to hide my navigation bar completely and use edge gesture for gestures. After updating my pixel 2 xl to android pie, I realized that when I click on my message notification from my notification center to open the actual app and deal with it(read, reply), the notification does not go away.
It goes away when I pull down the notification bar, but before I pull it down the icon stays remain in the status bar.
This is getting very annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
