Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Instead of the 3G icon being gray most of the time, it's now always white regardless of whether or not I'm using 3G.
Yep.......
Yup, but the arrows are still gray until use

It's a change made to services.jar for 2.2. I asked pardonmyfreedom about it, and he said he'd look into it.
Well, it doesn't bother me, as long as it's not constantly pulling some data down. Just making sure it was normal.

Use like in turns white when 3G is in use or if you prefer "being used"

That's Cool...
The 3G icon will be white, but there are two arrows underneath the 3G icon that should only be white when there is actual data transmission. Otherwise the arrows should be gray.
If you use the services.jar from Uncommon Sense (even though it's 6-bar), he did patch it so that it would recognize dormant connections and turn off the 3G icon.

Is there a mod I can flash to remove the clock on the status bar. Most people have widgets and I just don't even seem the point of it being on the status bar anymore.
And I know its called something else than a status bar. Having a brain fart haha

I can understand that, but on amoled displays it's nice to at least have the option to disable it. I'm already experiencing (slight) burn in. Download screen test from the market, make the screen either all white or all blue and you'll probably see it on yours too. Technically it's burn out not burn in (the blue sub pixels burn out first) but it looks the same.
Certainly not a big deal but I'm a video engineer so it bugs me more

I am all about options. Something I like, may not be liked by others, and vice versa. I wish the majority of the phone stuff had options for that exact reason.

I wish I could put the time back somehow on Bonsai. I use it all the time. Now I have to lock my phone to see the time. Yes I know I could use a widget or another program but the stock is better...no overhead..and just there.
I too also use the clock on the status bar annoying that it is now gone in bansai:-( I am going to try to get it back

I use the Launcher Pro that lets me hide the notification bar whenever is not needed. It actually saves the screen from burn "out".
I wish the notification bar only is shown when something is new or a warning otherwise it's just a wasted real estate on the screen.

According to Gismodo the OS toggles 4G
"Plusses
Unlike other 4G Android phones, the Nexus S 4G has a nifty trick up its sleeve: When you're not actively using WiMax, the radio idles, conserving your battery life. When you call upon it to deliver super-speedy 4G internet, it kicks back on in a matter of seconds."

The toggles were all made for the Evo, that's why they don't work. But, as said here, 4G isn't on unless you're using a data connection.

This makes a big difference but I can still notice a greater drop in battery life than 3g only.

It's not a forum specific download.
The poster (supercluver) downloaded Minimailstic Text Widget:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext
And created a link from there that takes him to the 4G settings to save a few steps in turning 4G on and off. It's the best I've seen until Samsung releases the API for the 4G settings.

Launcher Pro has a really cool feature that lets you add custom shortcuts on your dock bar menu. Works perfect for 4G. Just create a custom shortcut that takes you directly to the 4G on/off screen inside your settings menu. Very easy.

Another nice thing about launcher pro free is it unlocks the activities options when you longress the home screen and select shortcuts. In there you will find 4g settings and doing it this way you can have the same shortcut on another launcher if you wish. As long as launcher pro is installed you have access to these activities for shortcuts even if you use another launcher

Oh I like that better.
Here's something quick and easy for now - a widget that will work with any launcher. I'll have to poke around and see if it can actually be changed via the system settings or this is something that's locked down to Google signed packages (like GPS). Everything I have found so far relies on vendor libraries (Samsung / HTC) to programmatically toggle 4G.
Very very satisfied with this upgrade.... JOB WELL DONE!
I only have 2 wish list;
1: STAY AWAKE - option in Application>Development>. I would like this option back. This was good feature when phone is connected to USB or charger. Especially when driving.
2: Notification Font Color - Very hard to read with light Gray background with White Font. Maybe different Font Color????
Does anybody has any wish list?
Thanks

I've been looking around in the framework, but i'm not sure where it is... I'm thinking Res/layout/status bar_expanded. But, the only hex I see there is for black, which makes me think it's actually for the header, not the text itself... Wanna educate me on where to look?
EDIT: Found it... I think. res/layout/status bar latest event content... I'll find out for sure, tomorrow.

nasty "google search on ics"
latest kangs have option in the homescreen to disable it.
Nice explanation as usual.
But... why? This disables the physical search button and leaves a blank unusable gap under the top bar. Is there a way to extend the usable grid upward once the search bar is gone?

just a personal choice, i dnt use search much so for me this bar on the top is a waste ..

is there burn in on your notification bar? or your menu icon (which is on you screen the same amount of time)?
if not, why would you worry about search bar burn in?
if so, why dont you switch to a non amoled phone?
People need a video for selecting "disable" in the Google app setting?

There is a reason google took away the am/pm on the status bar and changed the color to black: to stop burn in. It's a real issue and people should be wary of it.

Im REALLY annoyed by that ugly ATT 4g icon, the inconsistent sizes, the information overload that fills the top of the screen basically. I just moved to android with this S4, previously I was a happy iPhone user. Is there any simple way to replace/theme the status bar icons? and for the love of god can I just turn them off without having to disable the services?
Im rooted, running Nova, I've tried obsidian menus bar, doesnt work and clearly would be a bandaid anyway.
Id rather not go trolling around in the systemui.apk, but if thats the only way and its safe to OTA afterwards then Ill do that. I just really hate the design of the status bar.

I'm like you. I very much prefer as minimalist a status bar as possible, so I made icons so my status bar looks like this with everything enabled:
Obviously, I never have all those icons active. Usually just the battery, signal, wifi, and alarm are active, but I enabled them all so you have an idea of what they look like. I posted all the icons in this thread if you'd like to use them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275858
Also, there's a mini tutorial about how to cluster the signal strength and signal type/in-out icons, because I think it's an absurd waste of space to use TWO icon spaces just to basically show you have cell phone signal and how strong it is.
Basically, I understand your pain. The clutter that comes with the stock status bar is absurd.
