Flashlight icon not showing I'm quick launch drop down menu - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since updating to the latest firmware, my flashlight icon refuses to show up in the quick launch drop down menu. I've tried moving the icons around and removing some of the other ones. Nothing. But, it does show when I go into the settings. WTF? Lol

Same here, probably a bug

Try boot in safe mode

What is this icon?

Hey guys this icon keeps coming up in my notification bar. I have no idea what it is and the only way to make it go away is by restarting the phone. Nothing comes up in the actual notification tray. Help please!
Its the icon to the left of the "ATT" text

You turned off notifications.
That is the 'no notifications' notification.
I have also seen it when you ahve too many notifications on the notification bar..
I didn't turn off notifications. I was just watching a show on my phone then added a new widget, and the icon came up. How do I re-enable the notifications?
Im still getting notifications when I get a text, so I don't really know why it is saying that they are turned off. I have no other notifications showing
Pull down your menu bar, and hit the Notifications toggle.
Also, the icon for too many notifications does not have the line through it.
Line - notifications off
No line - too many notifications to fit in the menu bar

Im sorry man what notification toggle? In the quick access toggles I have Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, Sound, Screen Rotation, Mobile Data, Power Saving, Airplane Mode, and Sync.
Then it just says the date and that Wifi is connected. And when I pull down the notification bar the icon disappears.

Are you scrolling the toggles/left right? I'm not running stock so I cant remember exactly what it looks like and where it is.

Yes of course, and that is everything that is listed.

On stock there is usually a toggle called 'Notification', so I'm not sure why you don't have it, unless you're running a custom ROM you haven't mentioned or your carrier modified this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt3vQTOI0eE

Weird. I dont have that. Just like the first comment with the guy from TMobile. I guess AT&T removed it? Odd though that I am still getting notifications. Ill just have to reboot I guess.

Talkback icon keeps turning on Tab 3.0 - 7 inch variant

Anyone else have this problem with the icon in the status bar of the talkback icon showing up in settings saying that it is on?
I check the settings and it is definitely off but the icon remains.
I've restarted the device and reset the icon by turning it on and back off, but eventually the icon finds itself back on randomly.
It's pissing me off.

Same problem here . Usually happens after a restart. Only way I get rid of it is by enabling it and disabling it again (though operating in Talkback mode is a bit of a work and takes a bit of understanding of how to operate...like using using two fingers to swipe the screen and double tap instead of a single tap to select an option. Hence I would not recommend my way of getting rid of the icon, unless you know what you are doing ).
Samsung should really come up with a fix of this annoying bug.
Happen to me as well until I uninstall all apps that use this method to push notifications.
I.e. go launcher notification plugin

Cant pull down the notification bar

hi there,
since yesterday, i cant pull down my notification bar.
its in portrait mode only. i changed to several launchers, but the problem persists.
when i activate touchpoint in developer mode i can see, that it stops right under the status bar. so it looks like the software didnt realize the screenhight anymore.
i tried factory reset and full wipe.

Notification Icons not showing in status bar

Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly

UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...

Question (bug?) Device control icon on lockscreen shown despite disabled

Settings > Display > Lock screen > Show device controls ... I disabled this, but the device control icon is still showing on the lock screen.
Is this a bug? Could someone please try as well? thanks.

OK ... well ... seems to be 'fixed' after a reboot ...
Hmm ... weird ... not fixed ... icon suddenly started re-appearing on lock screen despite 'device controls' being OFF.

I usually keep mine on, but I've just now disabled mine and I'll see if it pops back up. In my case, so far, a reboot wasn't necessary to make it go away.
Same here. Figure it'll get fixed and it's a silly oversight.
I even checked:
Code:
# settings get secure lockscreen_show_controls
0
So it's clearly 'off' ... still the icon for device control is sometimes appearing on my lock screen.
Silly bug ... I will report it to Google.
I've had it disabled since Friday and it hasn't reappeared on the lockscreen for me yet. You've probably already tried this, but maybe try enabling it, lock the screen, then disable it again?

I have exactly the same issue. Did a full reset without restoring backups. Worked for one day and now that button is back. Driving me nuts.

Yeah, and Play System is also up to date. Even tried 12L beta, same issue.
Deleting Play Services data and Google Home app didn't work either.
As soon as I set up any app for device controls from the quick settings tile (Google Home, Xiaomi, Tasker), that button shows up on the lockscreen (sometimes with a delay), regardless of the "show device control" setting under lockscreen settings.

After resetting Play Services again, I just found the culprit: Smart Lock. If you enable Smart Lock for home and you're on that location, the button is shown. Not sure if that's intended behaviour.
