[Q] 4G LTE notification always on [Solved!]

[hirak99]

Hi... I am using 4.4.2 stock ROM, rooted.

The 4G LTE symbol is always on.

None of the following attempts removes it -
1. Connecting to Wifi
2. Removing Caller Id
3. Stopping all Verizon background apps
4. Stopping mobile data
5. Switching Wanam Xposed "Persistent data type icon" under notifications either on or off

It always remains grayed out but up there when I am connected to Wifi, like the picture below.

Is it also like this for you if you are using 4.4.2? Any more ideas that I can try to remove it?

Edit: I found a solution. See post #5 in this thread.

I don't think it ever goes away on stock 4.4.2, maybe not even on 4.3, I've heard others complain about it as well. I think the only way to get rid of it is to install a custom rom. I am running JellyBeans build 2, it's pretty close to stock, and it got rid of that, it's only on when mobile data is on, not when wifi is on. Hope this helps.

Yes, that helps! Thanks. Weird, I didn't find many threads on this topic - only a few where the issue was resolved apparently by removing Caller ID app. It's good to know I am not alone.

I might try the JellyBeans 2... I have never changed to non Stock ROM's before, can such a change preserve all my apps and settings?

I think if you make a safe strap backup you can always come back to it and restore if something makes you not like it.

As for keeping your apps and data, I think whatever is on your internal/external storage stays untouched, but as for the apps, JellyBeans is different enough from stock, although it looks the same, that you may have to do a data partition/cache wipe to get it to run stable. What I always do is make a note (no pun intended ) of all my downloaded apps and changes, or maybe back them up with Titanium Backup to the external storage, then just re-download from Play Store or restore with Titanium once the new rom has been installed. Just takes a few minutes of getting used to in the new rom environment. Good luck!

Removed it! With Xposed Framework, I downloaded a gem of a module called - "Samsung Data Connection Icon Fix". That did the job. Link - http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.thinkindifferent.dataconnectioniconfix
