So I just noticed the notification for active VPNs do not show on Sense 6 Lollipop, instead being replaced with the more silent key icon. This means I can't tap a the notification to bring up the pop up to disconnect a VPN. I need to do this as my Sony QX10 does not properly connect to my phone when it's using a VPN.
Checking stock Google Android Lollipop, the new area for the notification appears as part of the quick toggles but for Sense 6, it is not shown anywhere. For now I have used Nova Launcher to create a shortcut to it but surely there must be a more natural way of disconnecting VPNs?
Image of where the notification should be for Lollipop (labelled as "Network may be monitored"):

I've started getting a second notification when receiving texts with the icon that is on the left. Wondering if anyone recognizes what is causing it, as I now get 2 notifications every time I get a text. I can't seem to figure out what I installed/messed with that caused this to start popping up.
Beautiful Widgets
Yeah I had this problem too previously, except on my nexus one. The Beautiful Widgets SMS widget was making the notification pop up. You can disable it by creating the widget again and changing its settings.
great. didn't think of beautiful widgets being the issue.
I just got a Nexus 6 and have it running Beanstown Pure Nexus Rom.
I noticed that it seemed Lolipop removed the toggle for vibrate/mute/sound as one of the notification shortcuts. I've heavily relied on this since Gingerbread days. Is there anyway to get it back? I saw a Xposed thing for adding a "true" silent mode but it had to be activated by scrolling the volume buttons down to vibrate.
Is there a fix to this?
FYI this is the style of toggle I'm talking about.

Well I feel like a moron. Someone pointed out where it is in Pure. my bad.
In stock Android previous to 5.0 the VPN icon appears as an annoying persistent key in the top left like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After 5.0 they moved it as a system icon to the right and it can be turned off or adjusted.
It looks like this:
It seems like in Touchwiz they never updated this and the key is still on the left. Even if you're using 5.1.1 (I assume 6.0 will be the same.)

2 Questions:
1) Without rooting, is there a way to remove or hide that icon?
2) Is there a way to file a bug or ticket with Samsung to let them know to fix this in the new Touchwiz? Or some other way of contacting them?
While driving it's nice to be able to use hands free to send a text but everytime I try to use it, ie "Ok hotword" send text to so and so I keep getting the "To improve....." screen.(see image) If I opt in it will last maybe a day and I'm right back at it. Any way to make this permanent?

MTA: Seems that a setting for device information must be enabled in order to keep from getting this screen all the time. Simply go into "Google settings->Search & Now->Accounts and Privacy->Google Activity Controls"... Such a headache... but fixed.
