Headset connected notification

[dd23]

Since firmware 32.2.A.0.224, which I just got via OTA there is a permanent notification that tells me that my headset is connected, when my headset is connected (surprise).

I cannot swipe it away and I also cannot permanently hide it by long-pressing and clicking (i), since there is no option to block all notifications from this particular app.

It would be great if this notification could be made optional, or even removed since it's quite useless and a huge waste of notification space.

@dd23 Before people complained why there isn't an icon for headset:

/t5/Xperia-M4-Aqua/headset-icon-in-status-bar/m-p/1091656#M5377

/t5/Xperia-Z3/Headphone-jack-icon-missing/td-p/1049717

Now, it is not ok if the headset icon is there. You should forward this to your Local support.

It's not about the headset icon (which is perfectly fine for me). It's about the notification box that simply says "headset connected" and does nothing but taking up space.

Here's a screenshot (Text is in German, but that shouldn't matter). I marked the notification I'm talking about in red.

That's how Android handle Bluetooth connected devices.

Open smartconnect and change the setting to "do nothing" on connection of headphones.

What he has highlighted is not the smartconnect notification. This is a new system notification that is always present when a headset is connected.

I'm finding it pretty annoying and unnecessary as well

This is default now.

Please make an option to disable this new Headset connected notification or remove it in the next update, also on XDA forums no one like it.

Why is this now default?? It wasn't needed before and it isn't now unless the goal is to needlessly take up screen space

[dd23]

Yeah, this might be default now, but I still think it's useless and the change should be reverted, or at least be made optional. As a last resort: let us at least swipe the thing away.
