I switched phones recently, and am very satisfied with my Xperia, but there’s this one useless icon in the taskbar that annoys me a bit and that is like to hide, but I can’t identify it, could someone help?
I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn’t list it as one you can blacklist in the list of toggles, and I don’t know how to find it’s key to add it as a custom one. Tried turning off calendar notifications, but that’s not it - it still shows. Does anyone know what it is and how to hide it? It’s a minor annoyance to be sure, but it’s completely useless, and I’d like it gone if possible. Thanks in advance for any help!
Factory reset is out of the question - I spent way too much time installing and setting everything up after changing phones to nuke it all (because Google sucks and doesn’t allow backing all the settings and such without root, but that’s a rant for another day).
I did reboot the phone, yes, multiple times - after turning calendar notifications off, disabling the app and so on. No dice, the icon keeps coming back. Oh well, guess I’ll have to get used to it - it’s a distracting eyesore, but the phone is working fine. Maybe it fixes itself after the update to Android 15…
Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions and willingness to help - appreciate it!
That’s super weird, I’ve had like half a dozen Xperias and never encountered this issue. Hope you can get it figured out, they’re usually great phones. Sorry I wasn’t able to be more helpful. Might be they patch whatever bug may be causing it soon too though, they’re usually pretty quick/good about updates.
Thanks, here’s hoping! I love it as a phone, but I suspect it might be another app showing the icon - there should be no way for a disabled app to do so…
Anyway, I’ll keep casually digging, maybe start disabling apps one by one to see which one is the culprit or something :)
