[Q] How to display carrier name in status bar... - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an international roaming SIM, and would like to be able to easily see which carrier I'm currently connected to. Is there any way to display my carrier's name in the left side of my status bar... iPhone style?

PHONO widget solved my issue am atleast getting the carrier logo on the notification (Name would have been better actually).

Try this app, shows the carrier's logo in the left of your status bar:

Android API does not allow to put text in the status bar.
Some ROMS (like Motorola and Miui) show the carrier's name, and most people complains that it takes all space for notifications so they usually disable this feature at settings...

[Q] 4.2.2 Notification bar

Hello all,
Not too much of a problem this, but I have noticed that since installing the OTA update to 4.2.2 last night on my stock UK (Orange/EE) HTC One that when I slide the notification bar down from the top of the screen, there are 5 zeros displayed on the bar (the bit that slides down and then sits at the bottom of the screen).
Do these zeros signify anything? or can they be made to display something (battery percentage, etc)?
Many thanks in advance,
scairney
Screenshots would be of some help.

Yeah,
I had realised, but have been having some IT issues too.
Anyhow attached is a screenshot, the 5 zeros can be seen at the bottom of the image.
That's where the carrier name should be displayed - eg "O2 -UK" on mine.

Your notifications are set to do not disturb or off. Press your volume button to see these options
That means you dont have any phone network

I double the 'absolutely zero signal', that is what the symbol means.
I can confirm that the symbol means do not disturb. Check your volume settings if you want to change it back.
Source: Have Nexus 10 with 5.0
It means so you notifications are set to "none"
That means the radio is off, you are using wifi and have no signal through the carrier.
I've got a star symbol in my notification bar. What does that mean?

Right, and it's on. An empty triangle would mean no service etc. etc. Google used to have a document that listed all the (stock) icons. Perhaps they still do.
Priority notifications have:
no icon - all
star - priority
slashed circle - none (including alarms).
By the way this is a Nexus 6 area.
If he has a Wifi model then she shouldn't have the no signal icon to begin with. To me, this icon means its not a WIFI model and there is no sim card inserted or valid

I'm not sure what you mean here but the linked YouTube video shows all three states and the two icons. Perhaps you didn't notice that this device is running Android L?

Oh i was responding to the OP with the question about the circle with the line across.
MYSTERY SOLVED! i notice that even on the Nexus6, if you press the volume down button from the homescreen once, then press the word "NONE", it will create this circle with the line through it on the notification bar to remind you that you dont want to receive any notifications or alarms.
The answer was posted multiple times and a link to a demonstration video was provided. Did you post a question and then simply not read any of the answers?

Samsung CSC Modifying, build.prop, and others - Root Required

So now that we have root (happy day!!!!!!!), I've been playing around with CSC modifications and wanted to share two I've done so far. PLEASE find more, this is JUST a start!
So for those unfamiliar with CSC, you can do it manually as they started getting people involved with on this thread, or semi-automatically with apps like Samsung CSC Master and CSC Feature Expert. I personally used the latter, CSC Feature Expert, because it looked cleaner and could search quicker, but take your pick I guess....
Here's what I've come up with so far! The italicized part is what was CHANGED, what it was changed TO, more specifically (hope this clarifies things)
Remove NFC enabled icon in the notification bar - NFC_StatusBarIconType = None
Remote Persistent WiFi notification in pull down menu - Wifi_ConfigWifiNotificationStyle - deleted Att, did not replace with anything
I'm sure there's plenty more, but this is a great start so let's see what you all come up with! I'm dying to change SystemUI / Framework / etc to get all my vanilla Android icons back on the notification bar, just like how I did it on my S5, but that's proving harder than expected for everyone involved.... Gotta get the AOSP Bluetooth icon, removing AM/PM from clock, and having a standard circle battery icon instead of the percentage AND stupid battery icon! Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the Carrier ID in the notification bar and pull down menus? Should be a CSC change that I haven't seen yet, so thanks in advance if you find it.
Awesome work so far buddy! Any idea on how we could remove the Bluetooth or Alarm icons? Or even battery / signal indicator. I prefer having a clean status bar!

That's wiping it clean for sure! I don't know about those, usually zeroing out icons is more framework than CSC, it was dumb luck that the NFC icon was in CSC really. I'm hoping there's some ATT crap code that can be changed to revert the Bluetooth icon back to AOSP looking, but I doubt it's there.... I'm thinking that the persistent wireless charging notification might be though!

From what everyone has said on the PingPongRoot thread, you can use Smart Switch to restore if something screws up, but I believe it would be hard (read: not impossible) to break something bad enough to need to restore anything by editing CSC values - I'm not even sure if "none" or deleting the value all together was the right thing to do in the first post, but it worked and didn't cause anything like a SystemUI failure / reboot / etc.
Of course, YMMV, so tread carefully, I'm still digging but having changed anything else in CSC values yet
There is one in there for the app draw to have it sort ABC also

One way would be to edit your build.prop.
Be very careful because messing with build.prop can cause a bootloop, not sure if it would be recoverable right now.
What you could do would be change this line:
ro.product.name=zerolteuc
to
ro.product.name=zeroltevzw
or
ro.product. name=zerolte
Then reboot.
Note, this will change your signal icons and if you use zerolte, it will add S Finder and Quick Connect to the drop down.
I'm running zerolte because I like the global icons and don't mind the two new items on the pull down.
I think once xposed is updated, there is an option there. I don't think it is on CSC.

Has anyone tried using Smart Switch to restore?!? I did some searching on it but the only thing it does is a factory reset (which doesn't clear root permissions) if I understand correctly.
EDIT: I checked out what the newest (?) version of Smart Switch can do and while I do think that it's possible for it to restore ATT S6/edge phones, it's currently not a possibility. For me it says SM-G925A does not support initializing.
I've researched that error and seems that the regular ATT S6 also gets the same type of error. So until a firmware dump appears or Smart Switch gets updated with ATT s6/edge compatibility, you cannot restore to stock if something messes up.

Have you already done this without bootloop? If so then as long as I only change this exact line i should be good.

Yeah, this is why we really need Xposed.... changing that line means we change a lot of things all at once instead of just what we need to change
Like you said, ro.product.name=zerolte removes the AT&T carrier name from displaying, but adds S Finder (does nothing for me) and Quick Connect, PLUS stock data icons which I really hate for some reason - don't know which one I hate more though, the carrier name always showing up on the notification bar or the stock data icon? haha
if you change it to ro.product.name=zeroltevzw, you get rid of S Finder and Quick Connect, but add Verizon data icons, which again is arguably worse
This was highlighted here: http://zidroid.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-how-to-remove-s-finder-and-quick-connect-buttons/
Xposed will allow me to change everything how I like it - ATT carrier name removed, AOSP Bluetooth icons, circle battery, no AM/PM, ATT data icon, and remove S Finder, Quick Connect, as well as the Brightness Bar :good:
I dont mind using Tmobile data icons if we can get the code to use.

zeroflteuc is just the regular S6. The Edge doesn't have the 'f'.
Therefore, you would change yours to zeroflte (or zerofltevzw, etc).

White Squares on Status Bar

I've got a Moto X Developer Edition with Lollipop 5.1 on it. I love everything about it except for the fact that some of my app notifications show up as white squares on my status bar instead of the regular app icon which used to show up for me on status bar when I had KitKat. I had been told that this only happens with apps that haven't been optimized for Lollipop. I was willing to accept this until I got Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 a few weeks ago. I noticed on the tablet that all of the appropriate app icons show up as normal on my tablet whereas the same notification on my Moto X shows up as just a plain white square. I then have to swipe down for my notifications to see which one it is and read it. Is there something that I'm missing in Motorola that will help me fix this issue?
I've got this a lot on two apps in particular. One of them is the 14News app (local news app in my area) and the other one is NASCAR Mobile.
Any help I can get on this would be very greatly appreciated.

In Settings, Sounds & Notifications, App Notifications, each app is listed, select an app, slide priority on. It might activate display of the icon. Not sure though. You might try clearing an app data, uninstall, then reinstall the app.

Has anybody solved notifications issue on Mate 20 Pro?

Hi everyone. Can anybody post a screenshot of your homescreen with received emails / messages icons showing in the top left corner of the Mate 20 Pro screen (notifications area) please? I'm sick and tired to hear explanations like "hm, weird. might something wrong with your firmware", hm, I've got everything". Something is telling me that this problem is notch related and Huawei simply don't know how to fix it. Thanks in advance.
What problem do you have?

No notification icons (emails, messages...) in the top left corner. All I have got is operator name and signal strength (GSM + WiFi) signs. That's it. As a result, I'm missing important messages and emails, not reading them in time. Never experienced anything like this on Pixel, Galaxies, LG, HTC and Sony phones. Also my previous phone - Mate 10 - didn't have this problem too. Can't find the way to fix it on Mate 20 Pro.
Maybe you have disabled them by mistake,you can always go to app setting and enable notifications for each app you want.
It's a horrible notch on this phone.
I'd much rather that if the option to turn "off" the notch is selected, that the whole top line would be moved down so that icons show in an entire row the line below, instead of the very top notched line, but such is life!
For you, is this a space issue do you think?
I've changed the option to show a notification number instead of individual icons. At least with this method, you'll know something is there?
.
You have the place for only 4 icons at the right and at the left of the notch. So that depends if you have Bluetooth on, network monitor on etc... Etc.. For each apps you have maybe in notification bar you should disable apps that you don't want to be in notif bar. For exemple I use Tasker but don't need it in notification bar, so I removed is icon in notification menu.
Like you I don't see my email or text msg notification icon but is because I've Bluetooth on, alarm on, vibrate On and data monitoring on so... Alarm icon don't appear coz I've also signal strength.
Signal strength + Bluetooth icon + network monitor + vibrate mode = 4 icons nothing more. If I switch from vibrate mod to ring mod i' ve again one free slot for another icon etc... Etc..

Have you tried unticking the display carrier name option in the display settings?
Edit:
Ahh, this only affects the home screen and not the lockscreen. Never mind
There is room for 5 icons and not 4. The last three ones are replaced by new icon.
I think you've changed something in settings that's why you're not getting notifications.
If you look at second screen shot, you can see that sms icon in the first photo is replaced with keyboard icon and on the third it's back again.

Okay, I see. Seriously, I haven't touch any settings, all in defaults state. Just tried to disable providers name and finally notification popped up! Anyway, notch is the culprit of my issue. I takes heaps of space so with provider name displayed by default there is no space for anything else. Can't justify such a huge notch and having below the average sound from the speakers. My old small Pixel 3 sounds a way clearer and louder even not at high volume. Don't really care about secure and fancy 3D face recognition at all.

Then you bought the wrong handset. The notch is there for a reason. I love the 3d face recognition, so I live with the notch. I bought the right phone.
You can also use adb to permanently disable some of the system icons like Bluetooth, alarm clock, nfc, etc.. This really helped clean things up and made more room up top for notification icons.
One option I wish they had was the ability to move signal and WiFi from left to right.

Total is 8 icons....4 at left and 4 at right or 5 at left 3 at right etc... If you choose to put battery % out of his icon you will see... Battery icon take 2 places, % take one, time take one = 4
If you put battery % inside his icon : battery icon take 2 places, time take one = 3, so you have automatically 5 slots available at left... [emoji57]
