how do you disable Eyeball from notification screen even after going thru steps to do so by turning off smart stay option
The eye icon comes from the function Smart-Stay which is implemented at the Samsung Galaxy S5. Smart Stay is a function which can illuminate the display as long as you look at it. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Display In this sub-menu of your Samsung Galaxy S5 you will find an option called “Stay Smart”. Remove the check mark and then the function will be disabled on your Samsung Galaxy S5. The eye icon will not appear anymore at your status bar. Source : http://www.solvemix.com/index.php/androi…
The eyeball icon simply means someone somewhere is watching your every move at that moment.
On my phone it’s actually under settings>display>eye comfort. If its turned on the icon appears. The setting is to filter blue light which can become uncomfortable to eyes if looked into for a period of time. When turned off the icon disappears and the blue light is no longer filtered out.
The new software update changes this… Smart Stay is off and I am using the LATEST UPDATE… I hate that eye..
Uncheck smart rotation in screen rotation settings.
It’s due to the “ Blue light filter” being on.
