Unable to get rid of Notification

After installing CM 5.0.5 I have a notification I just can't seem to get rid off.
The notification just says "Telenor SE" (which is the name of my provider) and it has a blue icon with some kind of circle in it and no matter what I do I can't get rid of it.
If I reboot the phone it disappears but as soon as I get a new notification, this one pops up again and I am stuck with it until I reboot again.
Anyone know what's causing this?

Is your phone plugged in to usb when you see it? try disabling USB Debugging and see if it goes away.

Hi,
No it's always there, regardless if I'm plugged in to USB or not

What happens when you press it?

Nothing, it highlights if I press down on it but nothing else happens. No information about it or anything.

What else do you have installed?
mods,...

Looks like a SIM card service (we don't use them in the US) but they are prevalent on some GSM networks.
You should have stk.apk installed for this to function beyond just a notifier (SIM Toolkit services)
AOSP has STK available to build; it's not in 2.0/2.1 by default (was in 1.5/1.6)...
See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5901366
It could also be the topics info used on some networks for regional messaging (beyond Mobile Site ID name); I would put the sim in a known local operator phone and see if you can turn topics off.

You are definitely on to something here. I have an application called "SIM Tools" (translated from Swedish) which I assume is what you mean. In that program, I see that same blue icon all over the place, so it must be connected to this somehow. I cant remember seeing this application before either.
However, all I can do in here is check my bill and see how many text messages I've sent and a few other options, I am unable to find any way to turn the notification thing off.
I tried my old phone but it doesn't have any option to turn any topics off.

I tried ending the StkAppService and the notification disappeared, unfortunately it also had the side effect that the SIM card stopped working until I entered the code again
So it definitely has something to do with that service. There must be some way I can config it to get rid of that icon?

I am currently running with just CyanogenMod and no themes or anything else installed and the icon is still there.
The problem started with the 5.0.5 patch. I have gone through the changelog but I can't find anything that seems related to the SIM card in those notes.
It is the exact same icon I get if I don't put in a SIM card at all, so it must be trying to tell me that something is wrong with the card, but there's nothing wrong, everything is working fine.

Just bumping this to see if anyone else have an idea what this could be? Still can't get rid of it no matter what I do
Now running 5.0.5.3, not 5.0.5.1 like in the initial post

Lockscreen PIN

Good evening,
There is something that really buggers me at the moment, which is the stock android PIN insertion style.
For more clarity, 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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Watch at that, it is so unaesthetic and awful. Why are the letters even there?
I've been on the lookout of a way to change that with 0 results, the few apps i've found are either spamming ads everywhere or very (VERY) laggy, which is something a Nexus 5 shouldn't suffer.
I'll get straight to the point now: is there a possible way to change it? A mod/app/theme, i don't mind just something!
Thanks,
Regards,
Daniel

Well...
To answer one question, it has letters because some people's password consists of words.
One App I used and LOVED was Dodol Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.campmobile.locker
You can pick your own custom wallpaper as the lockscreen wallpaper and it has an iOS 7 style PIN system.

Cool app, too bad i cannot use the pin only without swype with widgetlocker.
Does anyone know any alternative?

You have to decompile and edit you framework-res.apk if you want to remove those letters...

No, but you can interpret them. So if someone were to make their password a car brand like Audi, their PIN would be 2834 to reflect the letters given to each number. So Lol back at you.

So long story short there is no alternative to that awfull and un-comfortable (have to press ok to confirm? couldnt it just not let me through in case it's wrong?) lock system we have?

Hmmm...in some custom rom you can excess system/home screen without having to press ok button to confirm...just enter the correct pin and you will automatically goes to your home screen but you need to enable the option in security first...
lock system? if you enter the wrong pin 5x or more in a row then the phone will lock it self...the only way to unlock it is the enter your gmail and its password...

Solution
I suspect you've already found the solution.
You can use "Clean Lockscreen" module for Xposed, available at http://repo.xposed.info/module/gd.sec.cleanlockscreen. It accomplishes exactly what you are seeking. You will need to install Xposed Framework for using this module.
I am assuming that your device is rooted and is not running a touchwiz based ROM.
Additionally, you can also use GravityBox Module if your ROM is a Kitkat ROM (http://goo.gl/cfMTz1) or if it is a JellyBean ROM (http://goo.gl/UCBIru) to enable "Quick Unlock" feature. This would allow you to unlock your device without the need to press "OK" in case of a successful PIN insertion.

[Sm-T715 MM] Cannot use fingerprint sensor to unlock anymore

Hi guys, i'm here to show you my problem. I've update to Marshmallow today and now i'm on Android 6.0.1, firmware version T715XXU2BPD6. Everything works just fine but i have a problem with the fingerprint sensor. In fact, with lollipop (5.0.2) i used it for unlocking my tablet, now it forces me to use a password, sign or PIN instead of using ONLY fingerprint (which was really fast and secure for me). Now i'm asking: Does anyone has the same problem? Can i still use ONLY fingerprint sensor (and so i'm an idiot because i'm not capable of solving this) even with the latest android version? I hope someone can help

It's just a new security measure which happens only once after each reboot.

I don't think so. Actually i can only use the fingerprint sensor if i unlock the screen using a flip cover. If i unlock it by power button or home button it ask for a pin. And i've rebooted, closed and so on.

Strange this is not my case. I tried to unlock the screen by power button and it requires my fingerprint only.

I don't know what to tell you...the only thing that i know it's that everything described above never happened with Lollipop.

Did you wipe or not? Usually not wiping during updates works fine, but bugs can occur do to old settings sticking around or old files ect.

Hi, i didn't wipe because it was an OTA update, so it didn't ask for a full wipe. Maybe i should've done it after the installation

Dumb question, ate you using the power button to lock the screen or using an app? Apps force unlock via pin on marshmallow.

I just had the same problem on my newly upgraded t710, wiping the fingerprint lock and redoing it seems to have solved my problem, the fingerprint scanner procedure is slightly different on 6.0.1

6.0.1 fingerprint lock-out
Hi
This is a variation of the problem cited by the OP.
When 6.0.1 was rolled out it came with a warning to make sure you have your password ... famous last words.
Galax Tab S2 SM-T710
I accidentally allowed the update to 6.0.1 a few months back but did not have the password because I never used it after day 1, always used fingerprint. So after the upgrade, when it says I can't use fingerprint enter password, I am stumped. Samsung or Android seem to think that a password that has not been used more than once 6 months ago is more secure than my fingerprint that is used several times a day. Can't figure out why, really.
I called Samsung, they won't roll it back.
I have seen the video that says tap build number 7 times to get to developer mode, that does not work. USB hack etc.
I have created another user but cannot access original users space. Only 3 Gb left most of it used by original log on - now locked out.
Device not registered on Samsung find my phone and Android device mngr won't apply a new password, because there already is one. I can ring it, locate it dho, its in my hand, I can lock it, dho it is locked already, that's the problem.
Who the **** at android or samsung decided to invalidate my chosen security measure, fingerprint, lock me out of my device and why???! Has there been a spate of pickpockets stealing phones and cutting off peoples fingers to unlock the phone?
So if I do not want to to do a hard reset and lose the original users data, is there a work around?
I have never rooted a device so be gentle with me. ; > )
security version mdfv2.0 r6.
vpn v1.4 r 6.1
patch level 2 april 2016
I guess if I could reset or overide the password I'd then be able to set upmy new fingerprint. The new user,me, can use fingerprint. Go figure.
Many thanks

Notification Bar Bug: Keeps going semi- transparent

Please I need help if possible.
I've had my Samsung S10 for a month, and it's been great but i've a new problem and I can't seem to figure out why it is happening. See the picture below.
The notification bar keeps turning semi-transparent/blurred. Why is this happening, i've uninstalled up, it's the same on Nova Launcher & TouchWiz.
It's not clear why this is happening. I've reset wallpapers etc, but can't fix it.
When I reboot the phone it disappears, but either within a few mins or hours it reappears and seriously devalues the home screen.
Please help. How can i rectify this?
Any help is much appreciated.

have you tried to use the default theme?
do you use good lock, if so- what good lock apps do you use?

I made lock screen notification background 100% transparent, that helped.

hi
thx to both you.
I've somehow fixed it and used partly your ideas.
I removed apps one by one and rebooted countless times, but no lucks.
Also then changed settins and rebooted many times.
I changed some notificaition settings too, and rebooted.
However, I've no idea what it is that helped to sort it out.
I know there are others with this problem, I think it is do with Good Lock and Edge Lighting+, i've not readded Good Lock.
Thx to all, if anyone else has this problem then post here and I'll try to help you.
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: Again thx to those who replied to my request above.

Darn!
I think i spoke too soon! The problem reoccurred a day later
So having done also soft reboots, I don't believe it's the apps.
BUT what is the cause of that problem I can't fathom.
So sadly I have done a full factory reset! which is poor.
Hopefully that's the full end of it.
If anyone does figure out the reason for why this occurs, please post it here for all. thx

Hey.
I might have found the solution for that, without restarting the phone.
Got the S10+ few weeks ago and had the same issue with the status/notification bar going semi-trans (blurry).
I have fingerprint and pattern set as unlock options. The status bar goes fully transparent again when unlocking the phone with the pattern.
Now, still not sure what's causing this 'issue' but at least the solution was found (and it's not to restart the phone).
Hope this is going to work for you as well.
Cheers

Had the same issue, sent it to service so they could fix this...not sure if it's a phone problem or software, but I tried everything. Don't use Good Lock, nor any dubious third party apps. At one point, the screen started to flicker on lock screen, quite peculiar. But the blur effect really bugged me, sometimes it appeared in a couple of minutes, hours or even days, randomly. Is Samsung aware of this issue?

iggyp44 - Hi, thx for that, but I found the only solution was to do a hard reset, which I sadly did. Never reappeared since then.
Axys72 - I've sent a message on this to Samsung, that's all i know if they are aware or care.
Seems like a few of us have had this problem, so hopefully they will work on it to sort it out.
Only solution for me was a hard reset.

I've had the same issue... My suspection for what causing it: when I using galaxy buds and receive a massage via fb massenger... So far I noticed that twice, but I'm not sure if this really is the cause... Looking forward for solution, it's driving me somewhat crazy ?

Turn off the fingerprint unlock animation. That's what's causing it.

I tried settings reset and also hard reset it's the same
Rest the entire phone works fine
Can anybody suggest what could be an issue

Split Screen to Split Top

Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.
Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.
Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.
Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.
Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.

Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.
After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:
-Turn ON system animations.
That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.
I hope this helps someone

Thanks for the reply.
Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?

I have it in:
"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"
I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.

Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.
What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.
I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?
Just to discard animation related settings.
I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that

Well, what do you know...a bit of success.
Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.
So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.
Thanks for the input.

I'm glad it helped at the end!
I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...
Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.
