I was poking around various notification settings and noticed that I lost my Bluetooth icon in the "second screen" or maybe it wasn't there to begin with? It's showing fine in the status bar after I pull down.
Maybe that's intentional to create space near the notch?

Actually, I should first confirm - are you guys seeing a bluetooth icon in the notch area to begin with?

Nope. They show it briefly and it goes away. It will show if you do the drop down. Much better imo.
There are certain notifications that don't stay in the top (Bluetooth and location are two that could mean to mind). You have to pay attention to the right side of the second screen...the icons fade to the right corner after they appear.

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.
Hi guys, few days ago I was using my Galaxy Nexus when a strange white dot came out on the left side of the notification bar. It appears and disappears with apparently no reason and, if you try to open the notification menù while it shows it, there are absolutely no notifications related to this strange symbol.
When you close the notification menù, it reappears and then goes away without any interaction.
Today I discovered that I can reproduce this kind of "notification" by opening the Clock app and then touching twice the screen to reduce the backlight and to raise it back.
Anyone knows what's that?
Here's a screenshot:
That is a Google Now Card Notification, just pull down your Notification Bar, and swipe it away, it'll get rid of the dot.

I never noticed that. That dot looks VERY faint. My Google now notifications look different IIRC.

Thanks for answering but that's not related to Google now and when I pull down the notification menu there's nothing showing.
Any other ideas?
Run addon detector from the market. I think you downloaded an app with push notifications.

Well that is odd then. Puzzling. Every time that dot appears for me, it is due to the fact that I have a Google Now notification. Try a Task Manager to see what app is open, and when you close it, see if the dot continues to appear.

Thanks for the smart suggestions. I'll try both the solutions and reply! :good:

I just saw this same exact dot today. I was watching a full-screen video with an embedded YouTube link. The 3 soft buttons went into "discreet" mode and turned into 3 pale dots. All the notifications on the notification bars all turn into a single pale dot like this as well.

Did anyone ever figure out what this was?
I had this show up on a Nexus 7, playing a YouTube video in full screen made it go away so I'm guessing as stated above it has something to do with video controls hiding or something.
Is it related to SIP VoIP accounts? IIRC that's about what it looks like when connected, except green. Did you try to set something up there and it's showing that faint white dot to show it's not connected?
Mine is a blue dot and I recently found out what it was hehe
Same here, on my Nexus4. I can make it pop up at any time by tapping on any picture to hide notification bar and buttons and then tapping again to show them back (in my case it works every time i hide and show buttons, no matter which app im using - gallery, video player, youtube, etc). That white dot then pops up. Sometimes it stays for only a fraction of a second, sometimes for half a minute, and then just disappear, whether i open the notification bar or not. My guess it's just some weird FW flaw (besides, this dot looks just like these white dots indicating hidden buttons).
Any news? I have it using different roms, I assume it is something app related...
Eureka !!!
Had this dot with the fading lines. Noticed the dot disappeared right when I updated an installed app on Play Store (first it was replaced by the downloading arrow and then disappeared completely)
If you have this dot, check for apps' updates. You probably have at least one...
*Noticed it's a two years old thread just after posting... sorry
Confirmed for me

some apps you guys are opening have GPS related features, such as the photo apps ability to give you the location in which the picture was taken. When the dot appears for me, I turn off location (GPS) and it disappears every time. Hope my experience helps someone! If anyone still needs it :highfive:

I haven't seen this in a little while but I thought it was related to google now weather (they've since updated that icon to be clouds and whatnot)
I can also see this small white transparent dot on the top left corner of notification area it appears on my phone mostly when I check my whatsapp shared media images from whatsapp, I just attached a screen shot here,no idea which application responsible for this dot :silly:
For me it was the "Ok google" setup that i started, then interrupted. Once i went back into the "Ok google" detection setup under "Voice" and finished setting it up, the notification disappeared.
there are so many icons that i don't need or want.
i don't need to know my gps is on, i don't even know what the red one that shows up randomly is.
i find it lame that my notification menu is only allowed like 3 notifications before giving me the "more" arrow.

I believe to hide the status symbols (I want to rid myself of GPS and beats - without having to turn beats off) you need to be rooted
The red one with the b in it? thats beats audio - it shows up whenever you play audio, which is why I want it gone without having to turn it off

I believe the red one is the "beats" logo. You can make that go away by turning off beats in the settings.

If you turn on NFC you get a hideous huge icon that is supposed to resemble some sort of N. Go ahead and check that one out.

Hey guys,
Anyone else have this My Places notification in your pull down notification bar non stop all day? How do I stop this? I have GPS off, wifi off, happens all the time. I swipe away and it comes right back. Blinks up top all the time and refreshes. Ugg

Can you post a screenshot of the notification? I have places defined but I have never seen any pop ups
Here is the screenshot of the notification that never stops.
Maybe I am missing something but I can't seem to find the screenshot you posted

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...
