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...

LukLuk- FREE Streaming movies app

I haven't seen anyone mention this app here yet(if I missed it forgive me). It's called LukLuk and the quality of the movies is great although the selection isn't that big it has some decient choices. I haven't seen this in the market myself but my GF says that's where she got hers from. I recently flashed Haykuros Sapphire/Magic build so that's pobably why I haven't seen it. The app can also be downloaded directly from the site www.lukluk.org. I had a few problems with force closes and a notification telling me to set up a network connection, but a quick uninstall and reinstall seemed to fix the problem. Check it out, FREE streaming movies? You can't beat that.
just forcecloses on my G1 with RC9 modded by lucid

WiFi Icon grey after ICS update

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.

[Q] S-Voice not working with GT-N7000_SweetROM_V6.0_LSF (1)

Hi Guys,
Having installed the "GT-N7000_SweetROM_V6.0_LSF (1)" on my GT-N7000 Note, made it happen that "S-voice", if I want to work with it, is always giving the message: "No network connection, connect to networks and try again".
Trying to make sure that it was not my phone itself that caused this problem, I unrooted my phone and reinstalled its Stock ROM (N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN.zip) again. Then, everything worked like clockwork again - so the ROM probably must have caused the problem...
My question, probably to the developers of this ROM (although the Note users themselves are also invited for suggestions), is if they are familiar with this "S Voice" issue on the GT-N7000 where "GT-N7000_SweetROM_V6.0_LSF " was installed? If so, could you please tell me what to do to have "S Voice" also work with this ROM? Does it have to do with my settings or should there be an update needed to have this problem solved? I really would love to have this ROM reinstalled again and hope you can hand me a solution. :fingers-crossed:
I hope to hear from you soon.
Greetings,
Robert,
Netherlands.

Thank you for your reply. I have been searching the internet but all I found was that this issue was regarded to other smartphones, like the Samsung S3.
If there is a GT-N7000 user, familiar with this problem (having installed the SweetROM V6 and facing problems with S Voice afterwards) and knowing how to fix this, I really would like to hear from him with the solution he found.
Thanks again.
Robert,
Netherlands
All I can say is you need to read all the notes etc on the page you got the ROM from. If you had you will find this;
MORE THEMES & FIXES
3 Great themes for Sweet ROM V6 from kmokhtar79 (Arman, Parsa & Kamran Theme's) - HERE
Multi Window NON TRANSPARENT - HERE (flash in cwm recovery)
Sweet ROM colorful icons on status bar - HERE (flash in cwm recovery)
Stock Battery (no percentage) & Transparent status bar with grey icons - HERE (flash in cwm recovery)
Total Stock Icons and battery with BLACK status bar - HERE (flash in cwm recovery)
SVoice fix. This will remove S4 SVoice and replace with working one from S3- HERE (flash in cwm recovery)
and this;
NOTES
SNote widgets are already set on home screens on TW launcher. They can be moved around the home screens by long press then move to screen of choice. If you delete them and then try put them up again from widget drawer they will now be wrong size. Sorry this is the best work around I have at the moment.
If you use the installed Xperia Launcher the widgets will be the right size.
Please note Snote may stay open in task manager/ active applications until you reboot. This is a known bug. FIXED BY THIS METHOD HERE
If you get SVoice "Can't get to network" error then flash fix above. This will remove S4 Svoice and replace with working one from S3.
Hope this helps you. If you still need help you can find the page HERE
Thank you for your reply.
I think you're doing me a great favor again with this fix. I'll let you kow if it all worked out.
For what it's worth: I DID read this page before, but I (mis)understood that the S Voice-fix, like I said earlier in my above message, was purely ment for the Samsung S3. So that is why I asked for your help. Since I am also very new on the job (flashing my phone that is), I do not hesitate to ask for help at the source. I hope you weren't annoyed...
Regards,
Robert,
Netherlands.
As I promised, I would inform you if the "S Voice" fix dit its job. Well, naturally, it worked as you stated, however I now see that "S Voice" does not show a choice menu anymore. Is this the way this fix works, is this the same way that the "S Voice" is working on the S3 as well, or am I stupidly missing a setting option to have the S Voice choice menu appear again?
Also I noticed, when having the "Sweet ROM V6" fixed, inside "S Note" the virtual red recording button on the top task bar, does not activate. I was hoping this fix would deal with it as well, but it did not. Are you familiar with this problem as well and the way to fix this?
To be clear, I am not critizising at all. I just bump into small issues I would like to know if they can be solved...
I hope to hear from you again.

Robert,

Basic Menu options not selectable

Hi.
Problem with my note 5 (SM-N920T 5.1.1) that I cant seem to figure out... It all started with S note. I wanted to download the extension pack to be able to transpose notes into text. Hit more in the upper corner, more features, then extension pack. but for some reason when i hit the "extension pack" option it just flashes grey at me... every option on that screen actually. Of course scoured the internet and nothing but how tos and videos outlining those steps.
Now i said F-it as I unfortunately am one of the poor souls that fell victim to the penGate Scandal. I assumed it was something to do with the broken s-pen detection (my Spen itself is fully intact), finished my beer and went to bed.
couple days later I was at the t-mo store checking out the gear S2. Got it paired with my note 5 and wanted to see what the app selection was like. Got the prompt to download apps from my phone through the Sgear app... went to the app and the download applications link does the same thing!!!
Tried all the basics... restart phone, check unknown apps, anything I could think of... No luck.
Any ideas??? I cant seem to select options to download Samsung or OEM approved downloads...

hi ,
Firstly ,to download from ( as you put it) "Samsung or OEM approved downloads..." you have to register your device ,re "Samsung Account" and also sign into Samsung apps store ... etc ..? , to download ( Same procedure, as if you want to download from eg . Google Play store ?)
You did not mentioned this in your post above ..?
secondly,
I had an issue on my old Note 4 ,where i had settings "grayed out", but yes it was a bug in Rom . Yes ,I fixed it"temporary " by re flashing stock Rom ..only to appear later again !!!
Thirdly ,
you do not state if your device is rooted or stock Rom ..etc ? Reason why ,is ,
if its a bug in Rom ,how about/the possibility of re flashing your correct stock Rom ..to see if its fixes issue ?
Good luck

Stock firmware, no rom. Not rooted yet.
OK it was not having the Samsung Galaxy apps application installed on my phone. Samsung acct was linked but not having the physical Galaxy apps app was causing this. I Apparently some providers like tmo us Remove some factory installed apps. I had a hell of a time finding it to download, here is the link in case anyone wants it for usa
apps.samsung.com/jupiter/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA
Would of been nice to receive a pop up or notification to install this to be able to use the Extra functionality... No idea why this essential app was removed. Corporate bs if you ask me.
Thanks

Multiple issues with notifications. Is it just me or is everyone facing this issue?

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.
https://imgur.com/a/8dmP7xR
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?
---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------
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:
https://imgur.com/HfzzqKe
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.
