I upgraded to the German Samsung rom 4.03 with no problem and everything is working fine, however every now and then I am getting a small green icon appearing the notifcation bar at the top which if I follow takes me to the Play Store and offers me some type of pinup game or pictures, how do I stop this, it never happened with the previous rom.

Play store has some setting for ads and notifications.
Did you try changing them? I'm not sure if that would help as i haven't seen that "green icon", but worth the try!
Hope that helps bro...
Hi all,
Just updated to stock ICS and now the WiFi icon stays grey all the time suggesting there's no connection to Google's servers.
Funny thing is, syncing is working just fine - Calendar, Gmail, Tasks all updating without problems. The Tab is even appearing in the Google Dashboard with a list of apps that are backed up.
Anybody got any ideas?
I've been reading through all the recent posts, and I seem to be the only one with this problem.
normal. new colour scheme....

Seriously?
okay im realty confused
went to att store this morning looked at the white note3 and saw some odd diffrences in some of the apps.
mail and mms.
the mail icon has a blue @ on it insted of red.
and the mms icon was diffrent
opend the apps they seems pritty much the same as the ones on my s4
but neve the less i realy liked the new icons
odd thing is everwhere i look they are noware to be found
mail icon looked just like that ATTACHED
Unfortunaly i cant recreate the messiging one.
I'm pretty confident it's because they have a demo unit on display. I would imagine they are much different than our phones.
My AT&T Note 8 has the different email icon in a release version.
Hi all,
I'm new here and am hoping someone can help. I have a Galaxy S6 Active. Pretty much since day one, I have used a third party app for texting because I didn't like the limited choices for backgrounds in the stock app. I prefer dark backgrounds on my phone and the few standard backgrounds for messages are all white or light colored. Using the third party app has been fine, until yesterday. That's when I got my new Gear Sport smartwatch. Apparently, you can't have a third party texting app in use if you want to be able to text on your watch, so I ditched the third party app. I'm now left wondering if I just didn't look hard enough in the Galaxy Apps or somewhere else to find a darker setting for the stock messages app on the S6 Active. From the little bit of research I've managed, I've learned:
1. the stock messages app isn't the same across all of the S6/Active/Edge(+) phones.
2. the stock messages app isn't the same based on carriers.
Is there any hope for me?
Many thanks!
Install a different theme on your phone. Go to Settings/wallpaper and themes/Themes tab and find one you like. I have an ICS theme on my phone and texts show up with a dark background and white text.

Thanks loads!! It worked like a charm.
A follow up, seemingly related question: since switching to the stock Messaging app, there have been occasions when I have swiped the screen to respond to another notification or even when I have simply swiped to open the phone that the Messaging app automatically opens. I thought that it was because the icon was at the bottom of the screen and that I was somehow inadvertently opening it even though that's where it's always stayed since I got my first smartphone years ago. So I moved the icon and it still happens. It wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't also open up the texting thread of the same person every time. If it just opened to the list of conversations, it wouldn't be as annoying, but I don't want people to see my texts. I have a lot of nosey people in my life.
Thanks again!!
Hello everyone, my first post here.
I got the phone just over a week ago and the notifications are really bugging me.
1. The color palette for media notifications is sometimes just really wacky. It is light text on a white background or dark text on a dark background, depending upon the system theme.

Please note that it is not always like this but when it decides to act up, no app is spared. Youtube, music apps, all of them are subjected to the same fate.
2. I am receiving a lot less notifications than I usually do! I don't remember seeing a single email notification since I've switched to this phone. And it is not just Gmail, I haven't seen any notification from apps like Splitwise, a residential management app called MyGate, etc.
I'd really appreciate any kind of help and potential resolution to these issues.

Thanks bro!
Is the first issue just for me or are you facing it too on your phone? You could probably reproduce it with background play on Youtube, though you might have to go through a few videos to see it.

I assume you are talking about the social media app notifications. I used to get the Facebook white background notification on the previous system update which I disliked a lot. But currently on the latest CN rom update it seems that issue has been resolved and other apps notifications are within expectations with dark background on the dark theme.

No, I do not use any social media apart from Whatsapp on my phone. My issue is with app that have media playback buttons in the notification bar, such as Youtube (Background play), music, etc. I am running the stock update (1st October Security Patch) and this is the issue I'm facing: https://imgur.com/a/8dmP7xR
It seems to be cycling randomly through colors without checking if that text color is compatible with the background, as I saw with these videos: https://imgur.com/a/wCQPgTS. What I don't know if this is being done at the system level or by a theme (though I'm not using any at the moment) or even just the app.
I don't know if this is relevant, but I do not remember having this issue before that security patch.

I see, in regards of music I use Google Play Music which I have no issues with. In regards of YouTube I stopped using it long time ago I am using YouTube Vanced instead, YouTube sucks in comparison. Also Vanced doesn't have the issue you have mentioned.
I have the same problem as yours, i have that issue for Soundcloud, Spotify, Facebook... and more strange when i use my finger to pull up slowly, then they return to normal until i stop moving the finger. That issue has not occurred only in notification in main home page, but also appeared during sleep and wake up by new notification. I think it's related to new update in 1610. :'( Consider to back to 1608 but Asus said impossible to downgrade. Is that true?

Ah, after getting that issue, i've changed the current theme to another theme, the problem has gone. But it will appear very soon. Dont know why.
It is frustrating me more and more by the day. This is the same song, paused twice within a couple seconds:

The dark text just stays on, even though the color of the background changes.
About the update, yes I too think it was brought about by the latest update. This is an easily noticeable issue and I would have remembered it if I saw it during my initial days of using the phone. I only recall facing this problem after I did an update, which was about a week after I started using the phone.
PS: Please update this thread or message me if you find any more details regarding this issue.

I just noticed what you mean on YouTube Vanced. Anyway I don't think it's a big issue and hopefully it would be resolved in a future update. But my issue is with not seeing Google play Music app notification on the lock screen. There are some apps that behave that way too even though the show notification for those apps are on.
