New Galaxy S7 status icons in Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge Nougat update

How to enable or disable new Galaxy S7 status icons in Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge Nougat update: data saver and performance mode icons.

Android Nougat update for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge introduced some changes in icons and buttons. This page explains to you two of the most confusing new Galaxy S7 status icons you may find in the status bar: data saver status icon and performance mode notification icon.

Some Galaxy S7 status icons are carrier specific, for example, voLTE, WiFi calling. For these icons, they may be different in different phones.

But for data saver and performance mode status icons, they are identical in  all Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge devices.

Table of Contents hide
1) New Galaxy S7 status icons: Data saver icon
2) New Galaxy S7 status icons: Performance mode icon
3) New Galaxy S7 status icons: power saving mode
4) Can you turn on or turn off these new Galaxy S7 status icons in Android Nougat update for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge?

New Galaxy S7 status icons: Data saver icon

By default, after you apply the Android Nougat udpate for Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge, data saver will be automatically turned on.

And therefore, you may notice the following icon in the right side of the status bar.

New Galaxy S7 status icons: Data saver icon

Data saver is a new feature in Android Nougat.

Prior to Android Nougat, there is an option called restrict background data in stock Android. Data saver in Android Nougat is a replacement for this option.

Compared to simply restricting background data, data saver uses some algorithms to decide how to save data usage without comprising the phone functions.

Data saver can prevent some apps from sending and receiving data in background.

For apps you are actively using, it may also reduce the frequency of data usage to save data.

You can turn off  or turn on data saver in Settings —Connections-–Data usage–-Data saver in Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

After data saver is turned off, the data saver status icon will then disappear from the status bar.

New Galaxy S7 status icons: Performance mode icon

After applying Android Nougat udpate, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge is in optimized mode. You can manually adjust some settings to meet your needs.

For example, the default screen resolution was scaled down to 1080p in optimized mode. You can adjust the screen resolution to WQHD 1440p or HD 720p as explained in this guide.

To make your life easier, Samsung also introduced three pre-defined performance modes for gaming, entertainment and high performance.

So, you can switch to any of these 3 modes with one tap to get the optimized settings for each mode without fiddling around various settings.

When any of the 3 performance modes is activated, you will find the performance mode icon as shown below.

New Galaxy S7 status icons: Performance mode icon

Please note performance mode icon is shown as notification icon. So, it is shown in the left side of the status bar.

At the same time, you can find the corresponding notification message in notification shade.

As explained in this guide, there are two ways to enable or disable any of the 3 performance modes:

  • In Settings — Device maintenance —Performance mode.
  • Using quick setting buttons.

Of course, there are a few other new Galaxy S7 status icons, and other icons and buttons. But most of them are self-explanatory, for example, blue light filter, private mode, smart view, phone visibility.

New Galaxy S7 status icons: power saving mode

New Galaxy S7 status icons: power saving modePower saving mode is not new for Galaxy S7.

But in some regions, the power saving mode icon (battery with a recycle icon inside) is still new to many owners after updating Galaxy S7 to Android Nougat.

In previous versions of Android, when you enable the power saving mode (or battery saving mode), the icon will be shown in the left side of the status bar with a notification. The transparent status bar will be opaque. So, many owners know it is a special mode.

Now, in Android Nougat update, power saving mode will not show any notifications, the power saving mode icon (battery with a recycle icon inside) will be shown in the right side of the status bar. It will not change the status bar transparency either.

Actually, power saving mode is getting better in Android Nougat update. It can save considerable battery without affecting the usage of the phone.

You can enable or disable Galaxy S7 power saving mode in Settings — Device maintenance —  Battery — Power  saving mode. You have two levels of power saving to choose: mild and extreme.

For old icons, they were explained in this page.

Can you turn on or turn off these new Galaxy S7 status icons in Android Nougat update for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge?

      You probably should not care about it. Very likely, it’s just related to some system features.

      That’s voicemail. It means you have one or more unread voice messages. You may check with your carrier on how to manage the voicemail box because it’s provided by your carrier. Each carrier may use slightly different configurations.

      In Phone app, in the dialing pad, your can hold key 1 too access your voicemail.

      You should not turn on data saver in these scenarios. When you turn on mobile hotpot, data connection must be maintained. This conflicts with data saver.

              Thank you for checking for existing answers first. Most shared screenshots are in our inbox, not as public post. Most people don’t want to post publicly. We don’t force them to post publicly. Yes, this causes many repeated questions.

    I seem to have a new symbol which looks like a phone with a wifi symbol is what it looks like. Can’t figure out what it is, I thought it was the speaker being on but the phone is not dialing

        Same problem.
        It’s not wifi calling – I went into those settings, turned it on and off.
        Still there.

      It’s not new. Power saving mode has been there for long time. In Android Nougat update, it only adds one more level.

      Battery saver mode. You can disable battery saver mode in settings – device maintenance – battery.

    I now have new notification icon when i turn my mobile data off. Its an arrow pointing down, an arrow pointing up with a slash through them. It says “mobile data turned off”. The problem is that it doesn’t clear when you hit clear all and I can’t find another way to clear it without rebooting my phone. Also there doesn’t seem to be a way you can tell it to not notify you off the data off status.
