Anybody found out a way to remove or hide the cell phone carrier name from status / notification bar?
I do not see any setting anywhere in settings. I have a carrier unlocked AT&T LG G6 (H871) on Cricket. Having carrier name (Cricket) on the status bar is annoying and is not adding any utility really.
you can flash the US997 kdz thru LGUP. I'm running the latest version and I have no carrier info in status bar. downside is stock LG firmware also has pretty lame network icon next to the signal bars. can't tell if I'm connected to LTE or regular 4G. Doesn't really matter because t-mobile is really LTE in most areas

Sprint does this thing where they display "3G" even when the phone is only connected using 1xRTT.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make the phone show 1x for 1xRTT and 3G for EVDO and eHRPD? There's a big difference between 1x and EVDO (60-130Kbps vs 750-1800Kbps) where I live and it'd be nice to know at a glance without having to open Settings->About->Status->SIM Status
Signal check will show what band/ connection type in status bar.
This Signal Check? Is that a pro-only feature? I'm not seeing anything about status bar in the Lite version of that app.
An app running in the background is ok, but I'm really more interested in something like flashing a new icon or changing a hidden setting or something. I'm currently on stock rom, but would changing ROMs fix the icon?
Yep looks like it's pro only
I found the free version of LTE Discovery can also do this, it just doesn't start on bootup.
Hello all, I have ZTE Axon 7 Quartz Gray A2017U. Everything is perfect, but there is one annoying issue.
When I'm connected to 3G network (3G, H, H+ how do you like it ) I get 4G icon in status bar which is not correct.
When I connect to LTE, I get correct 4G/LTE icon in status bar.
Can somebody post their 3G icon?
I'm rooted and installed xposed with gravitybox, but I didn't change any options regarding 3G icon.
Here are pictures with fake 4G and correct 4G/LTE.
Fake 4G (connected to 3G network)
Real 4G/LTE
Any ideas how to fix it?
Are you on AT&T? AT&T calls their advanced 3G, 4G.

I think it's stock thing in US versions at least. I connect to 3G MicroCell (HSDPA+) and it show 4G, since that's how these are identified in US by carriers, so it will probably show 4G on anything above pure 3G so HSPA and above since here HSPA is 3.5G and HSPA+ is 4G

It's because you have the US model. US GSM carriers AT&T and T-Mobile marketed HSPA+ as "4G", even though it's based on 3G technology.
Thank you all for responses and clarification
Hi I have a question, i've been looking everywhere on the internet but I haven't found anything.
My Network type icon doesn't show up when im using it. I get no 4G/4G-LTE/3G Icon in my status bar.
How can I change/fix this?
I have an lg g6 h870ds..how can i remove the second 4g icon above the network bars?
And i do t see 4g+ icon on it..even that im on a 4g+ area coverage
I had that when running the HK firmware. Flashed CIS OPEN (for other reasons) and it went away. Now I'm having a single LTE icon above my signal bars.

I have an H990DS and I love the phone, but the modem firmware is sub-par. One problem is that the CA settings are not set correctly to T-Mobile US's (which I use) LTE band 2 and 4 CA setting. Another problem us that the phone shows 4G in the status bar, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is not true LTE, but another 4G network (the app Network Cell Info Lite shows LTE, however. Another problem is that the phone doesn't have good signal strength. I live in a deadzone and usually get below -100 dBm average on 4G, and this means that texts take forever to send. VoLTE would also br nice if I could flash one of those modems. Thanks in advance!
I have an unlocked sprint lg g6 that I'm using outside US. I can connect to mobile data and I'm able of browse and check the email but never shows any icon (E, H, 3G,...) indicating that is connected. Any ideas how can I solve this? Is really anoying. Thanks.
