Vibrate Mode/Sound Mode not updating on status bar - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a S4 i9500,
So the problem is I am toggling the different sound profiles from the toggle menu.. But they aren't being update in the status bar. It shows the "Silent Mode" icon irrespective of which mode I have selected in the dropdown.
I also tried going to Settings->Sounds and notification and changed the profile.. but the statusbar icon doesn't change and HENCE my phone doesn't vibrate or ring when a call comes.
I tried checking whether the vibration and sound hardware is alright via *#0*# .. they seem fine and are working.
Don't know if any third party app is interfering with the statusbar
Any helP?
Thanks

Question about Toggles in Notification Bar!

Hi!
I had taboonay rom before I switched to the new flexreaper, and I used the toggles that appeared above the notification bar for wifi, brightness, sound, rotation etc, just by tapping on the notfication bar (not a widget). How can I have this feature enabled in flexreaper rom? Is it an extra apk or something, or I can use it only in taboonay rom?
Thanx a lot in advance:good:
I think if you tap on the notification bar then the settings icon(top right of that pop up) you will get the toggles you are looking for..

Thanx, but the other has 8 icon and they are like buttons... so it is easier to use than entering settings
I'm running jelly bean and found this app to replace some of the add ons I missed for notificaiton toggles. IT rocks because the power button option has 'recovery' and bootloder options.
You can also make any app a toggle.

[Q] quick settings

i just installed quick settings.its great but one thing is missing.the "3G"toggle to turn it on or off.is it possible to set it?
is there another application like "quick settings" that includes "3g" toogle ?
anyone?
you can have notification toggles in your notification bar or you can have a widget on your homescreen that acts like a button. If you really want a toggle in your quick settings then you can find various roms that will have that feature as well as let you add other toggles and even change the order along with other things.

In the status bar? There isn't one, unless you're on a custom rom. you can see it in quick settings by pulling down the status bar (aka notification tray) with two fingers at the same time. For the sound/silent/vibrate, hold the power button until a menu pops up. The 3 options on the bottom under airplane mode are the sound/vibrate/silent with no vibrate toggles.
Use 'Power Toggle' app

How do you disable Flashlight?

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.

Persistent Notifications

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.
