Unknown Icon on Statusbar - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Do someone know what this is? I had never seen this icon on my statusbar
https://ibb.co/fxOi1Q

It's the RCS icon. You can deactivate via Phone - Settings - RCS - Calling Settings - Advanced Calling Settings - Turn Off Rich Communications
If you don't have this option, you can't do anything without root.

Okay thanks, I have a custom Rom with root installed. But I found the setting.
This icon is really ugly.

Settings -> About Phone -> Icon Glossary
For future reference, this tells you what every icon is, but not what it means necessarily.

[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.

Hiding of sensitive information!

There is no such option which I found using which we can hide the sensitive information from our lockscreens in the lenovo k3 note. Am I missing something? Or, is there a fix to this problem?
Thank you!
Not sure what "sensitive information" you are referring to. My lock screen shows
notification bar
wireless operator names
time/date
There is an option in "Settings -> Lock screen" to enable/disable the display of the wireless operators.

I meant, in other lollipop devices on the lockscreen we can choose to see only "unread messages" and "content hidden" notifications.. But here all the messages are displayed on the lockscreen itself.. Any way around it?
The only messages I have seen on my lock screen come from the notification bar and there is an option to disable the ability to pull down the notification bar on the lock screen. Other than that I have no other suggestions.

Android N quick settings toggle?

How can I get the WiFi/Bluetooth quick settings tiles to act as toggles and not menu shortcuts? With marshmallow a single click enabled/disabled WiFi, with N it only seems to open a "quick list" of available wifi networks. Is it just a fundamental change Google made in N?
Thanks

Hide Status Bar Icons

Now that we have root is there a way to hide some of the status bar icons? Like system UI tuner does on the Nexus devices...

This is still only possible with Root, correct?
Been looking around all afternoon, and seems like there was something called System Tuner UI, but was removed on Samsung S7 devices (probably all Sammy phones).
p.s.
I have a AT&T S7 Edge, but I doubt that will affect the answer(s)
Nova will do it.

True. It will do it on your home screens, but not within other apps.

Yeah Xposed requires root
There is an app called Notify Box that I have been using. It groups selected status bar notifications together and puts them in one drop down box that you can then delete or view. It seems to work pretty well.
Just found this in an LG group, "adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,bluetooth,mobile" etc. No root required, just a working adb setup and developer options.
Partial list is;
cast
hotspot
bluetooth
zen (do not distrub icon)
alarm_clock (alarm icon)
managed_profile (work profile icon)
wifi
ethernet
mobile (mobile data icon)
airplane
nfc
I'm still looking for the name of the download booster icon

This worked great. I did
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,nfc,bluetooth
Unfortunately the NFC icon stayed but the alarm clock and bluetooth are gone so anything is a huge improvement. Now I just need to figure out the names for the volte and rcs icons from rooting. I tried
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,nfc,bluetooth,volte,rcs
but neither went away. Either way thank you.
Hi, I tried that with alarm_clock but unfortunately I got an white square icon stead :silly:
This worked for me to disable the Alarm and Bluetooth icons. Thanks for the share!

Not sure if you figured this out already but the white rectangle icon that appears is actually the "rotate" so add that to your list
nfc for us on Samsung is nfc_on
You can disable the battery icon but still have "show percentage" on in settings so no icon but still charge percentage.
I've been adding and removing frequently but here is my current disable list
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist bluetooth,alarm_clock,rotate,battery,location,nfc_on
Hello,
Were you able to figure out the name of the Data boost icon? I like to have that turned on, I just cant stand seeing the icon.
Thanks,
Z

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.
