As title says..
Even if I remove the checkmark within settings, it the checkmark returns as soon as I reenter settings. Now I dont think it really is turned on since I dont see the notifier in the status bar nor can I browse websites. My mobile usage isnt increasing as well.
Now I noticed that in the notification panel, my icon for mobile data is slightly faded. I cannot turn it back to completely gray like the other features I have turned off. Screenshot attached.
Bump. Anybody??

I know with my N5 I had constant problems with the "butt dial flashlight" and on of the reasons I got a N6 is that I wanted to eliminate that problem and indeed it was successful. Now with the 6P this morning I noticed my pocket was getting hot and I took the phone out and the flashlight was on.. How do I disable the flashlight as I never use it anyway and if you ever saw a battery sucker it is the flashlight?
Assuming you're talking about the quick launch icon in the notification shade, turn on System UI Tuner (hold down the settings gear in the shade for a few seconds and it will start to spin under your finger (hard to see). Then go into settings and at the very bottom it will say System UI tuner. You can then customize what icons are shown in the shade.
Ok what is "notification shade" .. does phone need to be rooted as I held down the settings gear for at least 9 seconds on the screen that shows things such as bluetooth, airplane mode, auto rotate, Location.. etc and I never got the setting wheel on the upper right near the percentage of battery and nothing happened, but my 6P is not rooted?
Your phone does not need to be rooted, but you do need to keep your finger very still as you're pressing on the gear icon. It took me a couple of tries.
if you have OK GOOGLE enabled...
"OK Google, turn off flashlight".
I'm serious.
You don't need to be rooted. Maybe have developer settings turned on in the first place?
"To enable System UI Tuner in Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview 3, pull down your notification shade and long-press on the Settings gear icon for up to 5 seconds. Once you let go, you should see a pop-up with the message “Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings.†And as that message suggests, you can head into settings, scroll to the bottom, and find an option for System UI Tuner."
Once enabled you will see a small wrench next to the gear icon in the notification shade.
Notification shade is the pulldown menu where you notifications appear, and where the quicklaunch icons are.
As @Zlatty said, you might need to turn on Developer Options first (but the Droid Life guide doesn't mention it). To enable this, go to Settings > About and tap on Build Number 7-8 times until it says "You're a developer!".
Will this stop it from going on or does it just shut it off once it it on?
OK I was able to access that screen and flashlight icon was pale with a diagonal line through it but all that tells me is that it is off as I did nothing to disable PERMANENTLY the flashlight that I know of ??
Yes that worked but you have to know it is on.. I want it never to go on.
@painfree Click and hold on the flashlight quick launch icon in the System UI tuner Quick Settings and drag it down to the trash to delete the icon from your Quick Settings/Quick Launch.
fury683, thank you that worked it is removed.
I've enabled Wi-Fi calling and I can't seem to disable the Notification in either the Status Bar or in the Notification pull-down itself (obviously they're one of the same). It seems the app that creates this is IPService (it shows that when I drag down on the notification). I have it set to "show notifications silently" / "Don't sound, vibrate or appear on the screen regardless of the notification settings in the app" but nothing seems to hide it. It's rather annoying that it's persistent. Obviously turning off Wi-Fi calling will make it disappear but that defeats the purpose!
I have another similar (but less annoying issue) - the persistence of the NFC icon in the Status Bar. I seem to remember in earlier LG devices there was a way to hide this but I can't find it in the G6 software?
The persistent notification for WiFi cannot be disabled, or at least I have yet to come across a way. I believe this is done on purpose to prevent the OS from stopping or interrupting the service. I would love a way to disable the notification from the drop down menu, while keeping it on the notification bar.

Are you talking about the actual notification. Mines gone. Maybe verify that you have same settings as I do in your advanced WiFi settings. See 3rd pic.
It's a notification for Wi-Fi *calling* (see OP)

Sorry my brain didn't process the calling part.
Hi!
Whenever I receive a notification, the AOD shows an icon for the relevant app.
I would like to see a detailed notification, like who sent the message and a preview, not just an icon.
I've already went into the AOD settings and made sure "hide content" and "notification icons only" are not ticked, but no change.
I have the G950U1, lock screen enabled and AOD enabled. not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Would really appreciate help.
That is how it is supposed to work. There's no official way to show the whole notification on AOD other than if you enable Edge Lighting where it will display a preview for a couple seconds before disappearing leaving just the icon to double tap.
Although I am interested if there's some way to jimmy it to be more useful too.
Well, that's disappointing...
Thanks for the reply.
Go to Settings/Apps/Options (3 dots at the top right corner)/Show system apps. Go into Alway On Display, hit Force Stopp, go to Memory and delete data and cache.
Check AoD again.
Just did what you suggested.
Except for now constantly showing a two overlapping circles and "double tap here to find out how to use AOD", no change...
Now, how do I get rid of that icon and text and get the full notification on AOD, if that's possible?
Edit: got rid of the icon and text, but still no full notification on AOD.
Can anyone share a screenshot of full notifications on AOD?
My auto rotate icon has disappeared from my notification panel and is missing from the available choices when I edit the list. I've cleared data from Touchwiz Home. I've re-enabled all packages (Disabler Pro) but to no avail. Any other ideas? I am not rooted.
Attached is a screen shot of my options.
Did you restart your device?
Try to turn it off and then on again. I know it sounds stupid and in most cases, it works.
Have you done right scroll, that applies to upper and lower part of available shortcuts. It should be there. But in case you're out of luck, use shortcutter app
It's a wonder what a night's sleep can do. I looked at the screenshot again with fresh eyes and am feeling really silly. "Portrait" is the option which is the other half of "auto rotate." I guess I was expecting the same icon and perhaps a more recognizable label.
Hi all,
I have tried searching Google, but can't find what this icon means, does anyone know? It's in the top right of my top bar.
I have the same settings as before, I think it appeared after an updates. I am running the Oreo beta.

Looks like a data saver icon to me. That's just a guess. Do you have data saver enabled?
Data saver is a 3/4 circle with a plus sign in it.
Background data is disabled.
I think new data saver icon for oreo
I got the same icon and after searching in setting found that if i ON data saving then it appears and if i OFF it then it disappeared so it indicate the data saving is on, its appearing after updating to oreo in S8 Plus
hi,
i have same icon and try to find the location to switch it off.
can somebody tell me where to do it?
i'm on S8 with Oreo CRAP.
thanks!

It's Data Saver
Go to settings... Go to connections... Go to Data Usage... Tap on Data Saver and turn it off. That's it.
Its data saver! I really miss the icon on the controls panel (notification panel) can you help me get it there with an app or something? I had it on LG g6 before, cant find it on the s8 (my phone isn't rooted)
Pull down to view icons
Hold down for a couple of seconds 'only' on the writing saying (mobile data) "not the icon itself!
Turn off data saver.
Triangle will go off.
However when you read about it like I did leaving it on is actualy useful.
Yes it's data saver even on an s9
This icon is because of data saver option when u enable it go to setting _ connection _ data usage _data saver just click data saver if u switch it ON the icon will appear
What I'd like to know is why some of us have a green Avatar while others have a yellow one
I googled "xda legend" and it came back with a forum for some device named legend.
Googled xda icon legend and it told me about chainfire retiring.
Gracious goodness!
Excellent
