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.

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

Profile settings in honor 7x

Where do i see the various profile options like GENERAL,SILENT ,LOUD in honor 7x

There is no such menu in Android 7.1 . In settings you can set accordingly or by using notification panel.

Watsapp notification in honor 7x
Whenever a new message is received no notification has been shown. Eg. In the top of screen the text will come as " Message from (contact name) ". But in honor 7x its not coming so.

If your notifications aren't coming through then you have to go into the notification settings and tune them to your liking. For instance, mine was set to hide all notification content on the lock screen.
To going to notifications & status bar > notification management > see if your issue can be resolved in there. Then at the top of the notification management screen there is a gear icon, click that and make sure your notifications are turned to "show notification content on lock screen"
You can also go into manage apps and check the notifications for individual apps in there

No luck. Settings all seems to be fine.
Whenever new messages arrives watsapp icon is showing in the status bar. But in other mobiles new messages are notified as eg "message from xda-developer" for a moment and disappear. This message is not coming.

Received Location Update

I've been out of the samsung infrastructure for a little while coming from the Pixel 3 xl (2 years), and I just received my s20 Ultra on Monday. But I noticed that every time I pick up my phone I get the message "received location update", I have no problem with the "location update" seeing as if I lose my phone it can be tracked later. BUT i'm tired of seeing the notification! Is there a way to turn that off? without turning off location services? And by notification its not something in the status bar its a message that comes up near the fingerprint scanner.

hard/long press on the notification bar will allow you to mute it or control it

its not a notification that shows up in the status bar. it's literally a pop up bubble that shows up near the fingerprint sensor EVERY time I pick up my phone.

This, from manual, might be what you need,
Smart pop-up view
Receive notifications as icons that can be tapped and expanded in pop-up view.
*◌ From Settings, tap Advanced features >*Smart*pop-up view, and tap to enable.

It's called a toast notification and you might want to fry something like:

It'll tell you what app is generating the toast notification.

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...
