Hey. Just got my FP5 (having upgraded from by mostly-useless-since-last-update FP3). Its only a minor annoyance, but has anyone worked out how to remove the NFC icon from the System Tray, top right. It has no purpose for me. NFC is always on. Never had that icon in any other NFC enabled phone befor…

Removed with Android 14 [image] Android 14 is here. Here's what's changed - FP5.UT20.B.041.20240624 The Products A few fixes/changes that might be of interest and are not mentioned I think NFC icon has been removed from the status bar Adaptive Brightness should work bet…

Do you mean the icon in the right upper corner of the screen? Swipe down twice. In the screen you see now the icon of NFC is on. Tap on the icon and the colour will change. By tapping on the pencil you can change the sequence of the icons by holding and dragging them to another place.

I mean the icon next to WiFi and cellular signal strength. The instructions you’ve sent don’t fix this I don’t think. [Screenshot_20231011-123618~2]

So you want NFC on and still no icon in the status bar ,or switch off NFC (which would remove the icon)? So even with this app I dont see a way to remove the icon as long as NFC is enabled System UI Tuner [image] Shortcut to the hidden System UI Tuner tool in Android 9 and newer... Free …

I agree that the NFC icon and (more important for me) the VOLTE icon are really unnecessary and a waste of space, and it would be good to get rid of them. But hey, minor complaint.

Hi, OK thanks guys. So at least I know system UI tuner can’t fix it. But yes - to clarify, I want NFC functionality on, but not to have the icon in top right. As it was in every android phone I have had for 10+ years. My FP3 running Android 13 doesnt have it. But the FP5 running 13 does. So it has…

Best is to contact support and open a feature request, naming the FP3 running FPOS Android 13 as an example… I dont use NFC and I dont have a VoLTE icon although switched on :upside_down_face:

Hi there, recently got my own Fairphone 5 and also found the NFC icon annoying. While the UI tuner linked earlier wasn’t able to remove it, I found this one was able to do so: SystemUI Tuner [image] PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE INSTALLIN... Free It doe…
