Hello !
The carrier name take the place of 5-6 notification icons, so I always have to scroll down notification bar to see new notification.
I've tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901865, but didn't work.
I've seen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773879, but looking for an easy way if it exist...
My phone is rooted.
Strange, Carrier Name works fine on my XT890.

Pretty sure he's saying he wants to get rid of it. It's a complete waste of space. Carrier spam. Completely unnecessary, especially on an unbranded phone.

I had this problem too. I downloaded MoreLocale 2 and set it to my location, and it removed the dashes from the numbers so that they were formatted how they are here in the UK.
it didn't work,buddy

That's odd. It worked perfectly for me. I've not got any other tips for you then.

No worries.
One thing I do remember is that MoreLocale 2 wasn't 100% simple to set up, although I can't remember off-hand what I had to do. I'm currently messing about with ROMs on my phone rolleyes but once I get it up and running again I will try out ML2 and tell you exactly what I did, just in case that makes a difference.
EDIT:
OK, so I opened MoreLocale 2, then hit custom locale at the top, then set my language to en and country to GB. If you click on the ISO639 and ISO3166 buttons next to Language and Country, you should get a full list and be able to choose the country that you live in. Then it might actually be able to format your phone numbers properly.

Oh nice, glad you got it fixed!
I did try searching so apologises if this has been answered before.
I recently bought this phone, and it works great (I'm in the UK). BUT, and this happened on other phones with android, is using the search app, and for example typing in amazon, it'll take me to search listings with amazon.com. Where as if I search from my pc it'll give amazon.co.uk as first result. This is even worse for product searches, where it'll return the prices in dollars, I have enabled the "use my location" option in the search settings but still to no avail, it seems in the browser there's a string that has US, where I want it to be GB, or at least use the GPS and realise I want UK prices. I tried editing build.prop but nothing. Any ideas?
example when I search using hotkey from the desktop: www dot google dot com /m?hl=en&gl=us&client=ms-android-verizon&source=android-launcher-widget&q=amazon
Maybe if the hl=en&gl=GB it'd work as I want?
Did you install morelocale 2?
Thanks this worked straight away! I never thought I'd need to install a specific app just to have my location changed.. I'm assuming this changes some config file somewhere in the phone then. Is it a bug with Android because my friend also said he has the same problem.

Well, the droid 3 only has english and spanish settings. This means that it will also USA phonenumbers e.g. 581-102-1233, so morelocale is needed to fix it. (for the netherlands, at least). It will make apps/browsers etc think you're in xxx country
Ah, does the morelocal2 download extra settings then? Because yes my phone numbers are displayed correctly now as well. Strange because the phone was never meant to be used outside the US

I don't know exactly. What do you mean it wasn't mean to be outside the US? It's a global phone - just by verizon
I meant it wasn't sold in the UK or anywhere else in EU, I had to import mine. But yes I know it's a global phone, just not globally sold

I know but morelocale 2 is not droid 3 specific - it's for android, so it doens't matter that the droid 3 is not sold anywhere in the EU
Ok just discovered an inconvenience with the dialer. Got uk settings but it wants +44 on my phone numbers.. otherwise it just adds + to the last 7digits resulting in failed call. Any suggestions as I don't fancy changing my entire address book
Does anyone know of a way to store and automatically dial codes such as *#*#4636#*#*? They can't be stored and dialed like a normal phone number.
I used to be able to use Anycut but this no longer works on JB.
"Theres an app for that"
Just don't remember the name

How about this app?
Thanks. That would have been exactly what I want except that it mostly doesn't work on the Galaxy Note.

I had installed it & was workin fine til ICS..after I installed JB, I haven't restored it to check if its working..even if it doesn't work, the advantage is you need not to save each code..you will have everything in one place

Well, not really not much use if all it does is show the code on the button label. I have a doc file with all the codes written down anyway. It's funny though, how one or two work but not the rest. Be interesting to see if it works for you when you re-install.

Hmmm..restored it today & checked it..only 1-2 works, but not everything
Yeah, I think it's the ROM or Kernel or both NOT the app. I can't even enter the codes into the phone dialer manually. Only the one to reveal the IMEI works. Wonder what has changed since ICS in this regard.

Hello
The data Icon only shows GSM. Independent of the received network like "H", "3G" or "GPRS". Is there a way to get that changed?

Have you tried using super CID? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315549 It works for the AT&T version to change the data icons to stock.
FYI

Thanks for the link - The CID Download link doesn't work & I doubt if it will support the Sprint variant as well.
So I have a unlocked note8 from best buy. Got my service from metro pcs. Now this might seem petty but I cannot stand the fact that it says metro pcs when I drop down my notification bar. Does anyone know how I can remove just this logo. As seen in picture
I'm using Substratum and wings themes, I believe one of the navigation bar mods removed mine as mine doesn't show my carrier at all when I swipe down.

It is not a logo, but just shows to what network provider you are connected. It shows in stock fw and will be updated e.g. when roaming. If no cell service you'll don't see the name/logo.
Don't understand the issue
It is standard, all stock notes show it, you can change it or get rid of it, but you need to install mod to do it

Like I said Substratum or system ui might help you. I didn't go out of my way to remove my carrier name, but one of them apps removed them for me.

Download & install this apk, then reboot. Carrier name with be removed from the lockscreen & the bottom of the notification panel. To reverse it, simply uninstall the apk from your app list (it won't be in your app drawer) then reboot. Works on Note 8 with Nougat. Source: tytydraco.
Had it on my att unlocked running a T-Mobile sim. Flashed carrier to T-Mobile and now it's gone
Just installing the apk? Is it a theme, overlay or standalone?
Yeah just install the apk & reboot. Original thread states RRO overlay. I tried it, works fine & uninstalls easily. Other than that I know nothing more about it, just remember running into it a while back. I don't care for hiding the carrier, I never notice them anyway & it's a good indicator to know of your roaming or sim dies.
*deleted*
Yeah I'm a dumb ass. Thank you for the apk file. It works great.
too bad it doesn't work on Oreo.
