Hi
I was wondering what this icon means in my notification bar?
It is this small dot on the left of my bar and it only appears when I'm watching YouTube videos on full screen. Whenever this shows up the color is slightly weird.
Try shutting down running apps in the Task Manager to see if anything removes it from the Notification Bar.
Also you could try using add on detector from the store.

its your Google Now notifications
When you are watching movies/etc and it dims the notification bar, that symbol appears if you have any notifications.
Thanks!

I have had this problem. In the market there is a GMail app that replaces the one on your phone. Install it then use the one with the red icon and not the messages one.
Hope that helps.
Edit: I just looked and there is a new update that looks cool. Search for gmail and it should be the fist one. (with the red M)
Hollow xda community. I am having an issue with my lock screen. I am running action launcher and the Pacman ROM. My issue is that the status bar clock disappears on the lock screen. I tried running the stock launcher and it still disappears. I've attached screenshots of my issue.

Nice wallpaper.
Do you really need the notification bar clock?
What happens when you pull down the notification shade?

It's normal. Its because it shows the clock widget on the lockscreen already, so there's no point of showing it in the status bar as well.
Thanks. If I pull the notification shade down the clock appears but then disappears when I pull it back up. I understand that its not really necessary but I end up missing notifications because I think my status bar is empty. I know. Kinda stupid.
Anyways if there's a quick fix I'll be glad. Otherwise I can learn to live with it
As title states...is there a trick to do this? Notification led works fine for texts, but I get nothing for gmail. Thanks

There's an app called Lightflow on the Play Store that works great for changing the notification light settings. There is so much customization you can do, it's a really great app I would definitely recommend that you check it out.
Just tried that...didn't work. I always used light manager...didn't work at all. Can someone confirm ye or ne that gmail led notification works on this phone?

Looks like there is no way to have multi colored led lights using third party apps...light manager nor lightflow will change colors. Bummer

The LG notification light software could be overriding third-party program settings. When you use the notification test mode in lightflow, the LED does show up as whatever color you configured for that notification. I just got the phone and I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the notification light so I'm not sure.
Test mode only shows red no matter what color you choose in both light manager and lightflow

Then u have a defective phone...
alright, this is what I do to get mine to work.
Download Light Manager. Make sure operating mode is set to normal. Then just to test the LED settings change the missed call of any normal notifications to a color of your choice. Then under the same menu where you changed the color hit Test. Once you hit test a pop up menu shows up. Says something about screen off or something. Well don't click anything. Just hit the power button on your G2 and turn the screen off. wait 3 seconds and you should see the notification blink the color you just picked. now turn the phone on, click ok and click Restart light manager.
Now for Gmail, or other apps to blink custom colors you need to uncheck the notifications from normal system settings. go to settings - display - Notification led. Don't click the on.off switch, click the words Notification LED. Then uncheck Missed call, meissed messages and missed Emails. well, all of this fixes mine. I have Customs LED set and it works fine.
Hope this helps
i am enclosing two screenshots to show that there is only one thing in the corner that seems to be on. also nothing in the notifications bar except text me and battery saver and i tried deleting both of them and the notification sound still comes through every 5 to ten minutes, any ideas? does this symbol look familiar to anyone? thanks
What's Running
Hi gorelow,
Can't say that I have seen the symbol before myself, and it certainty doesn't look like a default android symbol. Looks like it's for a 3rd party app installed on the phone. Can you remember when you first saw the symbol and if you had installed any apps around the time of it appearence. Also might be a good idea to look at your current 3rd party running apps in settings and just force close a few, that you think could be linked to the notification and if you close the app that the notification is linked to it would dissappear telling you what app.

You can try to deactivate the notifications for one app by another in settings-->apps-->appXy-->show notifications and see when the notification disappears. Then you'll know which app is responsable for this icon. Hope this helps.

You're referring to the single icon on the left of your notification bar? Looks to me like the icon for Notification Toggles app - you can change the visibility of it in the settings for the app.
Thank you. It got rid of the icon. I've never experienced that app making a notification sound. I'll keep trying to figure out how sonething that doesnt show up can mak e a notification sound. Thanks again
My notification bar is always dropping down (sometimes intermittently) when I am using the Samsung S8 without me having to pull it down or receiving notifications. It is becoming quite annoying because every few seconds I have to drag it back up so that I am able to use the phone. Has someone else encountered the same issue?
Regards,
Press on the little white dot far left, it makes it stay uo.

Go to setting, search for navigation bar. The top item says show and hide item. That toggles the dot on and off.

That dot from the far left it is for the navigation bar. I was referring to the notification bar, the one at the top of the screen. Also every now and then the apps edge blinks intermittently and it coincides with the notification bar drop.

Did you enable fingerprint gesture to pull down notification shade? Settings>advanced features and then see under "finger sensor gestures"

No, I didn't. The settings are the factory ones.
Are you using a screen protector?

Yes I do, but the issues started before adding the screen protector. I took it down and still it persists
The problem was solved. If you ask me what caused the issue I have no ideea. All I can do is describe the exact steps I took.
1. I took of the screen protector just in case it was causing the issue
2. I restored the phone to factory settings
3. After that I didn't install any apps and didn't intstall any backups, no passwords, no face recognition, no pin, I omited all of the steps.
It seemed to have worked flawlessly I have no idea why and what was actually casing the issue with the notification bar. One day has passed so far and no notification bar issue so far.
I hope it's gonna stay this way
