Is there a way to hide the power saving icon in the notification bar?

[lachdanan]

Hi,

I did some search but couldn't find an answer. Is this possible? I just don't see the point of seeing that I am using power savings once it's already turned on. It's not like I am turning it on and off. Also the new 2 finger slide down is quick enough if I need more info.

Any ideas?



Thanks

They take it off your notifications in 4.3

Thanks, really? I still have mine. I just restarted, and it's still there. Should I toggle the power savings on and off?

Here's mine now after the update to 4.3
(The power toggles I added myself)

Thanks, that's strange, mine only disappears if I turn it off.

Btw is that power toggles you are using? What about the second line that shows how long to fully charge?

If you pull down the notification shade and long press the power saver icon till app info appears open it and hit force stop. Power saver still functions but will no longer be in your notifications until you reboot or modify your power saver settings.

Hence some of the differences in the update we received... I'm on Sprint

Do they really change those between carriers? If so that sucks. I thought they only change things like writing their own name to appropriate places, but that's all.

I prefer that over taking up space on the notification shade.

Ooohhhhh lol I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the notification drop screen. You are talking about the notification bar. My mistake, I removed the bar with adw ex launcher

Yep. If it ain't blue, it ain't on.

Gotcha, I was hoping it was possible. It's very redundant now that we can access it from the notification drop screen.

I feel the same way, and like ffejjj, I too am on Sprint so I don't think there are any differences in Sense between the carriers. In reviewing the changes HTC made to Sense that I finally got in this update (others got it in a 4.2 update), it was stated on multiple sites that the persistent Power Saver icon was going away. I read this as it would no longer be on either the notification bar or dropdown, but instead I'm pretty sure it only means the option disappears from the notification pull down menu when it's disabled. Once it's reenabled, both come back, though.

I also HATE the new NFC icon, as I leave NFC on all the time and hate having another icon crowding my notification bar. Also, why not NFC toggle in the quick settings? If you're going to force an icon on me, at least give me a quick way to turn it on and off, right? Other than these gripes, I definitely appreciate the update and improvements with Zoes, video highlights, and of course the things included in 4.3.
