Hello,
I got ignored everywhere I posted this issue in nightly threads and such, so I decided to make my own thread about it.
So here it is:
My carrier is Vidéotron and my plan is unlimited calls/texts in my "zone" which is the Greater Montreal area.
So, the problem is that, in my notification bar, I have a notification with the icon of a SIM card saying "Zone" when I'm in my zone (Montreal) and "..." when I lost signal or "Partner" if it goes on the Rogers network. This notification keeps staying there and doesn't go away no matter how many times I click it. BTW, clicking it does nothing at all except close the notification bar -_-
This does NOT happen on the stock ROM and only happens on CyanogenMod (both 6 and 7). That said, I did try MIUI but completely forgot if the icon was there...although I am about 85% sure it was there. Any ideas on how to disable that notification? It's quite annoying, especially in landscape mode where it takes so much space in my notification bar for nothing...
Last thing: This DOES happen to all Vidéotron customers on CyanogenMod
Thank you for any help you may provide
It's a long shot, and the only idea I've got, but do you have settings>cyanogenmod settings>user interface>date and provider settings checked and or unchecked?

Thanks for the reply!
That setting is nonexistent in CM 7, so can't really test it on this one, but I remember I had tried that several times while I was on CM 6 and it didn't do anything except remove my carrier's name from the lockscreen and/or notification bar.
I don't think it's really a feature since it seems that only Videotron customers are experiencing this thing...I believe it could be in the way the SIM card handles the roaming status...must be somewhere deep down in the code
If you or someone else come up with an idea, I'll be glad to hear it
If not, I'll probably post a ticket on the Cyanogen bug tracker or so...

Wow, thanks Rusty!
Worked perfectly!
I'll go announce that on the Videotron forum, the people will be glad to fix that too
BTW, does it have any impact on anything else? What is that file used for exactly?
Again, thanks!
It's the SIM Tool Kit app, some mobile banking things need it apparently, but it's something left out of the stock ROM so can't be that great.

I see. Thanks a lot for the info and for the fix, really appreciated

Zone remover
FYI
This app removes the zone icon (sim card) from the notification bar of the phone. This is a common situation for customer of Videotron to determinate if the customer is in his Zone or not.

Hi,
I have just been to Belguim. During this time a new white triange icon was shown on the top bar. What is it for? Nothing happened when I clicked on it. After return, it disappeared.
Thanks
pretty sure it's the roaming icon.
Yeah that is the roaming icon, had it when I went to Cuba too.
how to disable that icon
anyone know how to disable that roaming icon because my operator carier being merge to another one and now that annoying icon always show on my screen even im not roaming
You need a new SIM card which is from your merged carrier.
i'm pretty sure theres a registry hack for that, but can't seem to find the thread right now... anyone?

Note that this is a workaround, and will disable the roaming icon even when you are actually roaming... just remember the bills
looks like thats the reg hack i need.. because there is no more roaming by my carrier in all over my country here,so i dont need that annoying white triangle anymore. But ill go to my CS carier first,hope they can do something. thx guys
oh.. some my apps keeps telling me that im roaming at start up. will that hack solve this prob? hmmm i dont think so.. anyone can help? (just in case my CS cant do something,like usual)
Thanks for all the replies
Hi,can anyone tell me what the notification number means on my phone (No.1).I have had my phone for over a month and it has been there since the first time i switched it on from new.I have been looking at other members homescreens and no one else seems to have this? Picture of my homecreen will show you what i mean
regards mick
I think it's indicating what Line you are using on your phone
Some operators like Orange give you the ability to have 2 phone numbers/lines on 1 simcard
Cannot understand why it would be that as i have had the same sim card/same network on PAYG for years in lots of other phones aswell,strange but i need to know how to get rid of it sick of seeing it now.
Well i tried a different sim card and the number is still in the notification bar! Anyone else have any idea what it could be?
Not got a clue pal, i've never seen that before.
Does factory resetting your phone get rid of it? If not it's probably sim-card related.

yes, can confirm that..although LG´s way to implement this in statusbar is very odd..
Found it under settings/additional settings there is an option to select line 1 or 2 but no option to remove it from notification area.By selecting line 2 it just says call settings error unexpected response from network.If i call my network would they be able to do anything to remove the double line setting if it has anything to do with my sim?
thanks to all replies
mick
to get rid of that, I would:
- edit frameworks
or
- make a morph
How do i do that? bit of a newbie still learning,phone is rooted and running Modaco's custom rom FR15 but any chance of explaining more on editing framework ?
my sim packed a sad yesterday and would not make any calls or join the network, i had it replaced and since have had a strange icon in the notification area, when i check it there is no message and no option to clear it? when i get other notifications i can clear all and it'll go away for a short time but always comes back, it looks like a sim with a small gear on the bottom right, can anyone help?
Your sim is empty, thats all
Thanks but sadly not, the sim comes pre programmed with voicemail and customer services etc which are showing up
Have you checked your APN settings? Sometimes they have to be manually entered. If the APN list is empty its pretty easy to search for the settings using some good ol' googlin'

It appears to be a new feature (based on a search the Galaxy S 4 from Sprint is having the same problem) that you can not disable the data and voice roam guards. They are checked and greyed out.
Can anyone on 4.3 uncheck these and if so what ROM are you on?
I can check/uncheck all, running ElipticOne 4.3 v2

Strange I am on BadBoy and it is greyed out... Galaxy S 4 users are having the same problem.
I was able to disable them before my phone provisioned... looks like that may be where it is locking it.
I can't use any previous backups (which kinda sucks) but atleast I got them turned off.

I am sitting 100% stock (un-rooted for now), and I can remove the roaming guards, you may want to check with others using the same ROM as you.
I am also able to toggle them off and on, completely stock and unrooted. I read somewhere if you toggle data mode to CDMA only you can change them, then change it back to CDMA/LTE and they stick. Might wanna give that a try.
I'm on SwG 2.02 and can also check/uncheck all roaming guards.
Perhaps there is an incorrect build.prop edit.
I'm on BadBoy and I can check/uncheck it.

As of 4.3 I can't uncheck them. No one in my house can, all 3 of us are on HTC Ones that have been updated to 4.3 completely stock.
Switching to CDMA Only did not change it, still grayed out.

I think it is a problem with having old settings on the phone... If I use the HTC restore then I lose the ability to uncheck them, when I do a clean flash without the restore I have no problem unchecking them.
Try a clean wipe (and don't use any restore programs like HTC) and see if you can uncheck them

If I have to choose between installing and re-configuring all my apps again, or having the irritating data roaming message... I'll probably just deal with the message. I don't have time to re-do my phone all over again :/

If you have bluetooth integration in your vehicle, it is more than just an "irritating" message. It actually prevents you from using your car's bluetooth to dial your phone in roaming (the call will always fail unless you manually select the dismiss on the roam notification from the phone). This is more than just irritating. Also will prevent you from streaming music during trips (atleast when you pop in and out of roaming locations) because each time you enter a roaming location you will have to dismiss the guard before it will let you get data on the roaming network.

I guess I'll just chalk this experience up to HTC's notoriously amazing QA. Maybe I'll re-do my phone this weekend then. We are also having problems where all of our phones are having received SMS timestamps that are 1 hour behind (but only on sprint towers, and only in the tri cities - works fine roaming, in knoxville, or on airave...). Wonder if it's also related to restoring the backup or just Sprint being Sprint.

About 3 hours freeway driving. Knoxville is closer and I don't have the problem there. All 3 of our Ones are affected (and we aren't even on the same Sprint plan) but my buddy's iPhone is not. Also, the clock on my phone is always correct and it is set to get the time from the tower. It is only received SMS timestamps that are wrong. A conversation will look like this: Sent message 10:40AM Received message 9:41AM Sent message 10:42AM Received message 9:44AM etc.
I will just reset the phone this weekend, maybe it will be happy again.

Oops. Got that one by me.
Every day I travel on the London Underground and obviously lose 4G signal when I am below ground.
Since the last update a week ago to 10.2.26.0, when I come back into a 4G area I cannot use any data services without either rebooting the phone or toggling Mobile data on and off, which is very frustrating.
The bars will show full 4G but no data will flow on any app until I do this.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Same on mine...
Yes same issue here
I had this happen to me earlier and it turned out that the access point settings had been altered at update from one firmware to the next. The system tries to install some generic APN-settings based on my operator’s name as my operator has no automatic way of installing them the usual way on this phone as it does on the more commonly used brands.
Check with your operator what the settings should look like and enter them under the access point settings for the sim-card if the current ones look off. Just an idea because I had the same problem going back to 4G from Wi-Fi. Reboot or airplane mode was the only thing to fix it for me. To be more exact it was the address for the setting “APN” that was wrong for me. The system had put an address that wasn´t a valid IP-address. Obviously, Xiaomi had tried to guess the address based on my operator name but got it wrong. As soon as I got the right setting in place all problems were gone.
This problem got worse as I had activated LTE voice calls. Before that it only happened occasionally, but with LTE-voice calls activated it happened every time I went from Wi-Fi to 4G.

Doesn't seem to be the issue. I am on EE here in the UK and the APN is correct. Can't see how toggling data off and on would resolve this if the APN was wrong anyway?

I can see that but still, do a trace route for apn.fastweb.it and it can´t solve that address so there is something wrong with it. Anyway hope you will find the culprit of your problem!
I almost have the same problem .. after a phone call 4g disappears .. After the talk 4g comes back but the data connection does not work anymore .. Data off and switching on is the solution. I have send my phone back to the retailer i hope dee can fix the probleem.
I have the same issue.......latest Global Beta......switching data off and on for now....and hoping that fix is coming as it is annoying...
Okay so this is found to be experienced by others - how do we bring this to Xiaomi attention? Right now a phone that just randomly chooses to lose data capability is useless, as I lose notifications, messages, home automation activity prompts, Ring doorbell alerts, Nest smoke alarm alerts - pretty much renders the phone useless if I am not connected to WiFi, and the worst is not knowing it's stopped working till I try something.
One thing you could do if you have activated VoLTE is to deactivate VoLTE. If this makes a difference it sugests that something is wrong in your local configuration. Otherwise you may have to take it back to the seller.
Same problem here in Germany with o2.
I just found this solution to slightly another but very similar problem and I'm testing it right now.
Go to the APN settings (Settings -> SIM card Settings) and better do a reset to default (not necessary). Choose the o2 option and in a field called MVNO type select IMSI. You should be fine.
Will report back if this worked.

VoLTE is not enabled on my device, but this doesn't sound likely anyway - I have had the phone since the first week it was available in Europe - over 3 months - but the data stopping working only happened with a recent update. Anyway, this thread and other forums suggest this is a wider issue - can't see that sending it back to the retailer will achieve much as the replacement will likely do the same!

The APN settings are all greyed out on EE - I can read them but I can't edit them?
Any news here? I'm still stuck with this annoying problem.
I'm on MIUI 10.2. 9.0 Global and no updates available.
Just came here to say I have he same problem. Not really too annoying as all it takes is toggling airplane mode off then back on after a couple of seconds. But sometimes I don't even know the problem has surfaced and I end up missing notifications.
It happens sometimes even after I enter an elevator then leave.
