Mysterious satellite status icon - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I looked at my Kaiser this morning and saw that a satellite icon had appeared in the status icon area. The bottom left says Notification, and when I tap it, nothing happens. I can't tap the satellite icon either because it doesn't do anything. Here's a screenshot and I also uploaded a picture of the manual explaining all of the icons. It's not in the manual.
Does anyone know what that icon is? I am using kyphur's Tilt XDA-Live v 1.2 ROM. No other applications except ActiveSync is running.

it is quickfix

the icon is to notify you that your quickfix settings should be updated...

You can also disable the popping up of that icon in the settings for QuickFix if you wish.

What exactly is QuickFix? I don't see it as a program or a setting.

quickfix is a program that grabs satellite positions from the internet so your gps can get a quicker fix from a cold start

Ah, it's QuickGPS I have installed. The data has indeed expired. Thanks for the replies.

net connection notification bubble & unessary services processes

1. Is there anyway to disable the notification bubble when Tilt notifies its connecting to the network, tired of preesing hide.
2. Is there any resource that identifies unessasary startup services/processes so as to disable them.
3. By the by has anyone expierienced the following.... Upon using the power button to turn off the backlight, the backlight will flicker on and off intermittently... seems to only happen when connected to power.
I just figured this out for number 1 and wanted to post it for posterity
Set the REG_DWORD Options to 0 in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}
OMG pennywisdom! I have been looking and looking for this information for a looooong time. Thanks a lot!!!!
BTW, does this also disable the 'could not connect' notification bubble? This bubble often comes up while using tomtom navigator in an area where the network coverage is poor and tomtom traffic keeps trying to connect. The bubble comes up, then if you don't acknowledge, tomtom loses focus and screen goes into screensaver...... and so on. Highly annoying! and dangerous while driving!!
For a "resource identifier" I use Dinarsoft's MemMaid and SkTools. They have a clean option that sorts out registry issues and finds bad schorcuts and uninstall data. You could also see if the rom your using has HTC task manager in settings and just shut down open apps from there.
The screen flash when you press the power button happens on some roms, i forgot how to disable it (been out of the scene for a bit) but i'm sure you'll find the solution if u search for it.

Why do a reg edit when its already available in the settings?
Go to Sounds & Notifications in settings, notifications tab on the bottom (how you change your ring/msg tones) Click the "Event" drop down list and select Connection Established, uncheck the box "Display message on screen" .. there you go.
The sounds & Notifications fix does not prevent the 'could not connect' notification bubble for me. Too bad - I have a basement office where connectivity is intermittent at best. Even although I have a rock solid WiFi connection the 'could not connect' notification bubble interupts me a lot.

The short answer is that I had no idea it was there, but it's good to know now so I don't have to remember that registry entry. Thanks!

Disable mail notification icon from wm

Hi,
Because I see on the touchflo interface how many new mails i have, i don't want the new-mail-icon next to the battery, sound, network icon. It would not be so bad but when i mark the mail as read on my computer and sync it, touch flow shows no new mails but the icon stays until i klick it and dismiss the notification...
can someone tell me how to disable this icon? Notification for new mails is already disabled (only blink-signal is marked)
thx & greets
Michael
There are a lot more icons i would like to hide though... Most of the time I cant even read "start" of the start menu button on my homescreen...
Another example: I don't use 3G, but the icon is always visible...

No weather details in calendar

As the title says... The weather details have stopped working /showing in the calendar app.
Also on start up my phone home page background is usually a grey default pattern but on start up each time I turn the phone on the background shows complete black for a split second before the grey image shows up
Anyone know why for these 2 issues?
Thx
Is location enabled? Can't predict the weather without knowing where you are.
Open calendar app's settings
Scroll to bottom, 4th option from bottom, turn on weather forecast.
From what I remember first time setup you need to put in your city.
It updates when you have internet...I think its the same thing which powers the weather widget, someone else will know if this is true
Yeah guys...the calendar settings have location enabled...it says my city...in fact the weather updates were working in my phone up until I installed and messed around with Themer...then they stopped working. I have since uninstalled Themer...and the calendar weather updates don't work.
Do I have to enable 'Location Reporting' in general phone settings?

Navigon Icon in Status Bar

Hi all,
Thus may be a daft question, but.
Last night I installed the sat nav software and ever since the navigon icon hd as been present in the status bar.
I've been through the settings but can't find a way to turn it off, am I overlooking something?
Just press the icon for few seconds in the notification window and an "App info" will show up. Then uncheck "Show notifications".

Smart View auto turn on

Recently I noticed that Smart View automatic turn on itself showing and icon on the Status bar even I did not have any connection to it. Nearby device scanning is off too. I had checked the status bar and the Smart View is not enable but icon was showing as per my photos. This also happen in some of my friends S9 devise too. But if you restart the device, the icon is gone.
Have anyone got the same problem and how to solve it.
