Hide the AT&T carrier label

For those of you who like me are annoyed by the AT&T carrier label in the status bar, it seems like the HD Widgets app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets) writes over the top of it with it's status bar temp notification. There are probably other apps that do it as well but this is just the one I found to work best. Hope this helps people who are picky like me.

I could be wrong but I think any persistent notification icon will get rid of the at&t. It should only show up when your notification bar is empty. If only I had my S6 I could check for sure!!!!

It's very possible. I just wish you could toggle it off entirely...as if there isn't enough branding all over the device as it is I don't need it in the UI as well :(

Oh well, other than the battery issues I love this phone so far.

Yes, any persistent notification with an icon for the statusbar will make the AT&T text disappear. I don't believe it will remove the AT&T text from the dropdown though... for that you'd just need to put the phone in AP mode :) You can watch the statusbar AT&T text disappear by rebooting... it will appear for a second until the persistent notification appears.

You are correct for me my weather app overrides the at&t when screen is un-locked. It does not however when the screen is locked.
