[Q] Expanded Notification Bar settings [SOLVED]

I'm new to all this Android stuff, I got my first android phone last Christmas & have (slowly) learned a lot, mainly here at XDA. I'm generally happy with my theme with one exception. My carrier name (Cincinnati Bell) is black on black (see screen shot). Does anyone know where this setting is? I've been searching (& searching) through framework-res.apk for the past week without any luck.

Wrong Wi-Fi channels on OB.

Hello, when I was setting up Wi-Fi network, I've noticed that phone is showing wrong channels. I've tried 3 another programs to check it out (Wifi Analyzer, Droid WiFi Analyzer, WiEye) and also another ROM instead of my daily Zeus (Chinese ICS, v20o - flashable ZIP). And everything is showing same incorrect channels. Another phone show channels correctly also as notebook (laptop).

Original channels were: 1, 6, 12.
Can somebody confirm/disprove it to find out this problem is hardware or LG related? Thank you.

How to re enable volte Verizon after new ROM flash

The title says it all. How do you read able voice over LTE after flashing a new ROM on Verizon? I had it just fine on my last rom which was stock and I updated to clean ROM. I accessed the hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* and found the option to turn volte back on but after clicking the option and rebooting it doesn't do anything. I doubled checked myverizon account and the option is still there active. Also switched to ltr/CDMA in mobile networks without any difference.
Edit: solved

Did you do all the complicated things and forget the simple one? LOL

Help Hiding the VPN Icon

In stock Android previous to 5.0 the VPN icon appears as an annoying persistent key in the top left like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After 5.0 they moved it as a system icon to the right and it can be turned off or adjusted.
It looks like this:
It seems like in Touchwiz they never updated this and the key is still on the left. Even if you're using 5.1.1 (I assume 6.0 will be the same.)

2 Questions:
1) Without rooting, is there a way to remove or hide that icon?
2) Is there a way to file a bug or ticket with Samsung to let them know to fix this in the new Touchwiz? Or some other way of contacting them?
