Unknown Icon Notification - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I get this icon that shows my CPU usage and battery that appeared randomly on my notification bar. I'm not sure how it got there but I'm quite used to it now and like the looks of it. Does anyone know how to enable or disable it just incase it goes away on it's own? Or should I be aware of it because it can be a harmful third party app?

Can you post a larger screenshot of your phone? I can not make it out. Also, are you rooted and running any Xposed modules?

It's actually getting on my nerves now and I want it off and I don't know how, I restarted my phones a few times and it's still there.

Are you using any 3rd party app that monitor your cpu status ect.? I know when I used "Quick System Info" app I had the option to shows those info on my status bar.
Does it also show in the drop down panel? If it does long press on it and chose "App info".

Open your notifications and tap and hold the notification then click app info.

Nothing shows when I drag the notification bar but the same thing it does now. It covers my icons under it and if I were to be on Youtube watching a video on fullscreen it still shows. I haven't installed anything in about a week either. I don't want to take it to T-Mobile and ask since my phones rooted also

Start over. Flash back to stock. Then start adding your stuff back 1thing at a time.

Can you provide a list of apps that you have installed? It would help narrow down which programs have the permission to draw overlays and that would likely reveal the culprit. Also, have you tried disabling the Xposed framework to make sure it's not one of the modules you installed (doubt it, but worth the trouble)?

A bit drastic if I say so. :silly:

Looks like Cool Tool

You've installed something recently or changed an app's settings recently. That is an output from a monitoring app. CPU, GPU, or something of that sort.
You need to check that app(s) and uncheck whatever seems to point to showing it.

Agreed! It's definitely an app since it's always visible. It's creating a window on top of everything.

Lower case (i) in a circle crossed out icon ?

Last night I saw this icon twice the only way I was able to get rid of it was once I rebooted my phone. Also with the icon in place I wasnt able to pull down notification bar nor take screenshot pic. Very weird and confusing , does anyone know the cause of that icon being in place ?? Anyone else gone through same situation ? Thanks guys

Hmmmmm its the only one I know for sure with that symbol. Im looking on google though. What apps have you installed? If it does it again, what happenes when you drop down the status bar and click it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I did notice that it sort of happened after my apps automatically updated and one of those was busy box not sure if thats the case. But when it did happen I wasnt able to drop down my notification bar at all till I rebooted the phone , and I use busy box for wifi tether only . I had simplistic control app installed but uninstalled it since it didnt work

Well its not a stock samsung icon unless you were mistaken. Are you sure it wasnt one of these? If not, its definitely a different app you installed somewhere along the line.

No problem. If it pops up again, select it from the status bar. If we're lucky, it will open the app up that it belongs to.

How to get rid of quick remote?

How can I get rid of quick remote from notification bar? Even after freezing the app it still shows on there can't seem to find any setting to the it off the notification bar drop down menu. Anyone having an idea? Using a LG G Pro.

Here is a screen shot. Ever since I activated this app the remote stays and can't be taken off. I even froze the app and it still is in the notification drop down menu.

Oh, I think I had that same problem. I think I had to delete all the devices to get it to stop doing this. Also, it has a feature that allows it to automatically start devices when it connects to your home WiFi. Make sure that is disabled first. If that is not the problem then simply delete all devices you have set up in the app and it should stop.

Nope that doesn't help. It is only for the remote to show up automatically when connected to a WiFi connection you can select. Also freezing doesn't help it either. I also can't swipe it off the notification bar. It sits here forever.

Then delete tv1 and it should go away. If you have other devices set up you'll have to delete them also. This is why I quit using this app.

You might try SD Maid. Open the app, slide over to app control tab, tap screen to refresh app list, then scroll down to quick remote, tap it, then select freeze app. You can also use SD Maid to delete apps. You might have to buy the pro version. Not sure.

You should just be able to tap on the QuickRemote button again in your drop down. If you've removed the button (or never had it in your dropdown toggles), then swipe all the way to the right of your dropdown toggles to "Edit" and then hit the "+" in the upper right corner. Now, when you tap on the QuickRemote toggle, it will toggle the controls that appear in your notification dropdown.
I hope that helps. What I described is the normal behavior on my device. I haven't removed or frozen the app and I'm stock/rooted.

to remove this "recommendations", you can disable the "PageBuddyNotiSvc" from the application manager...
just go to Settings>More>Application manager>ALL>PageBuddyNotiSvc>Disable....
after this, you just need either to Force Stop this service, or restart the phone, and you won't see the recommendations again

This is a common inquiry on the master x thread. By most accounts it should be getting attention from the dev for the 3rd release.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
This is a known issue. Some of the notifications like the little eye is not showing up correctly. It will be fixed for the next update. I myself went back to Jedi x because I missed my pop up note feature

Don't know what it was, I just choose another carrier when flashing, I chose AT&T instead of T-mobile even when my model is the SGH-889, but since I'm from another country it doesn't matter.

saw 2 files you removed that I'm just giving an experienced warning on for others...if you remove the voicemail, you will not receive any notifications if you get voice messages, again I know from experience
not gonna double quote the other pic I saw but the google text to speech file, another 1 that if you ever use your phone on the road for gps, you will not get turn by turn voice directions...yes I've done this and experienced the loss of turn by turn voice
other than that, nice listings and compilation for users

Thank you for the for letting them know that , voicemail for me if I miss a call I just hit and hold 1 and takes you to the old style voicemail
And I dont use voice stuff at all for my phone kinda pointless to me when you have google on mobile web...lol...
Tell you what man deleting all this is amazing how much battery I have gained and how much smoother the phone and performance is
If you and any of you have anymore pointers for the apps being deleted please feel free to share
This list is the list I personally deleted because I never have or never will I use
hey man no problem, I'm like you, I rip all that crap out!! lol even the custom roms, but sometimes when I miss calls at work, I don't bother just dialing the voicemail and next thing you know, I get the message over a week late lol gotta love the space it all frees up too and speeding up the phone and saving battery life for sure
again good posting up of the pics for people to actually see and follow along
