[Q] Help with stuck icons - Vibrant General

So I have some icons that are stuck in the status bar and are very annoying. I have two downloading icons (which are already downloaded and installed) and a new voicemail icon (which has already been heard) that wont go away. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are they running applications?

Pull down notification bar and hit clear....
voicemail is t-mobile when you hit clear it will go away IF already *been heard* ... if not it will come back after reboot , till you listen to it....

they are not running applications. i got rid of the voicemail thing but the downloading icons still pop up even ofter reboot.

Are you using a custom launcher, or alternative messaging app?
ADW and reg built in messaging app comes with bubble style

Turn off the ADW notifications in the settings, and uninstall any notification apps you might have installed, like ADW unread count etc.
Yes that helped for one thanks I am still looking for another.

Circle Battery Symbol

I just installed my first ROM on my Nexus 4, AOKP Build 2. YAY, I broke my Flashing Rom Cherry...
Anyways, there is this blue circle symbol on the top left portion of the status bar. I have a picture posted, but is there anyway to get rid of this.
This is a new installation and it seems to keep showing up. Please and thank you for the help.
I haven't used AOKP in a while but that looks like a battery app you have showing up in the notification bar. Identify the app and disable the notification.
That's the thing, I have no idea which app. I flashed an unrooted Jelly Bean and then the AOKP 2 but both times this icon keeps showing up.
That has nothing to do with the rom, notifications in the top left are ALWAYS caused by apps.
It's there a notification when you pull the bar down? If so long press it and select app info to see which app is causing it

It's one of your apps. Are you leaving the option to restore from your Google account checked? If so, one of the apps being restored is the culprit. Takes some screenies of your app drawer. Maybe we can help you narrow it down.
I don't even have that many apps installed, and I have neither made nandroid backups nor backups in general. It's not a big deal, but would rather use the ROM's version of battery percentage indicator.
Long press the notification and press "app info" that appears.
Then you have the name of the offending app

[Q] How do i turn off message preview on lock screen?

As the title says, I want to remove the message preview widget on the lockscreen. If i turn ON the message preview (under Messages->Settings->Preview message) i get the message widget showing the sender and the message text, if i turn the preview off i still get the message widget but this time it just shows the sender as "Messaging" and the message text as "New message".
I have attached 2 screenshots showing both screens.
I have tried with the "Multiple widgets" option turned on and off with the same result.
However if i completely turn message notifications off (Messages->Settings->Notifications), it goes away, but then i dont get any notifications of messages.
Is there any way to just turn off that lockscreen widget but still have the normal notifications like the S2 and S3?
Thanks in advance
Bump !!
I desperately want to know the answer to this. What's the point of lock screen widgets like dashclock etc if the horrible TW notifications take priority and appear over the top !
Anyone found the answer to this ?
Bump this is a rather stupid feature. I want to be able to read my preview n notifications without it going on lockscreen

In the messaging app if you go to settings and scroll down, just untick "preview message"? You won't get previews on lockscreen or status bar BUT you should still get normal notifications in status bar.

As i said if i untick that option, it just displays generic text on the lockscreen widget, as shown in my screenshot. I don't want the lockscreen widget to be displayed at all, but still keep normal notifications for messages.
This is a lockscreen widget created by Samsung.
You can press and hold you finger on it and put it on the trash.

I tried that also, it doesnt work. It only works for lockscreen widgets you added manually, like music player etc.
I see missed calls also appear in the annoying widget, and its location is to the right of the main lockscreen, all manually added lockscreens are to the left of the main lockscreen.
Bump! I would also like to know the answer to this question!

Unfortunately I don't think you can remove it. I also dont like it, why cant I just click on the notification to launch the messaging app? Why display that stupid empty box?
I think i've exhausted all options to get rid of it, our only hope is that Samsung allows us the option to disable it on their next firmware.
Use a different lock screen.......

Bump. Would love to know how to disable the damn thing.
I've set up Dash Clock to replace the stock lockscreen widget, but every time I get a message or a missed call it reverts back to the ugly default Samsung widget.
I suspect that an update will fix it. It looks as if it was unfinished.

Sorry to bump this but I was searching for this issue...well, the music app displaying on the lock screen issue to be exact.
Even when I end the app through the task manager and the clearing of ram memory it will still show up for a good 5 or 10 minutes on my lock screen, sometimes sporadically. It's annoying and incredibly ugly (to me). I've reset my phone twice thinking maybe there was an issue I caused for it to still show up even when not in use.
Hopefully Samsung allows us to keep the music player from showing on the lock screen. And yes, I know I can use a 3rd party app but I prefer the stock, other than this issue.
LOCKSCREEN POLICY! that's the solution! I've been searching for ages!

In my gti9505 works great....
Bump.
Would also really like to know the answer to this. I've got Dash Clock set up to do everything, but the ugly TW widget keeps taking over, seems kind of pointless.
I found an apk in the /system/app/ directory called NotificationWidget.apk which seemed promising, but after deleting it the TW widget is still there. Surely they wouldn't have baked it right into the framework?

What's this notification icon?

Anyone know what the top left notification icon is? I can't figure out how to get rid of it... unrooted stock user
@jayrod101 it seems from Samsung Watchon app.
