4G Icon? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of a way to not have the 4G Icon always showing on the status bar while the WiFi icon is showing?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

dont think there is one. maybe with root you could change the icons but doubtful

I was able to do it with a bunch of xposed mods. I just flashed a fresh ROM once I figure it out I'll post it here.

You must be on a developer edition phone to be able to use exposed?

Yes. There's no way to remove it without root

As others have said, there's no way to remove it without root.
The reason it stays lit is because, even though Verizon hasn't enabled it yet, some of the necessary system files for VoLTE (voice over LTE) are already installed on the phone. Once enabled, an active LTE connection will be required for VoLTE to work, even when connected to WiFi. Data isn't being transmitted, and once VoLTE is enabled, only call data will be transmitted (which won't count against your data allowance unless you're doing a video call).

For anyone who is interested to remove the 4G icon while on WiFi you must be rooted and have xposed framework installed.
Its simple just download "Samsung data connection icon fix" mod in exposed downloads enable, reboot and enjoy!

SGH-I317 Free WiFi Hotspot.

There Is a free App in the android market called Control Center by Hi Tools Studio. By activating the hotspot toggle it actually turns on the phone's native hotspot application. then you can go into the system settings and configure your mobile hotspot settings. Change the name add a password. I am on a rooted stock rom. The app does not request super user permission. It may also work for other phones.

The difference is that I don't have tethering on my mobile plan. When I try to activate tethering through my built-in android Hotspot settings I get greeted with a message saying "To enable hotspot on this device, go to att.com/wireless or dial 611" So Yes it has EXTRA MAGIC.
Still looking...
The 4.3 update has broken FoxFi. I am seeking a replacement that works to circumvent the checking of my plan to use a wifi hotspot. I don't want to root or flash a ROM. I've scoured tons of places to either fix FoxFi or get another app to no avail. If anyone knows of such, please share. Thanks!

Thanks budy its really work.
It’s pretty simple, you will need a rooted Verizon Note 2 and also use a modified Wifi Tether app.
Step 1. Download and install the modified Wifi Tether app:
Step 2. Run the Wifi Tether app and choose “Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)” for Device-Profile.
Step 3. Choose “Netd-Ndc (master)” for Setup Method.
Step 4. Make sure “Send Netd Max Client Cmd” is checked ON.
Step 5. And also make sure “Routing Fix” is checked ON.
Step 6. You can setup SSID and wifi encryption if you’d like. Once everything set up, simply start the Wifi Tether and try connecting to it from your computer or another wifi device.
it also work on other cell phone.

What is this icon thats stuck in my status bar?

Excuse me for the spam, but I just recently switched from iOS to Android. My M8 has this weird icon all the way left to the status bar. It looks like an N or something.

Also I seen here that some people don't have the 4G LTE icon when using Wi-Fi. Why is mine there all the time even when I am not using cellular data?
NFC is turned on.

You can turn it off from Settings>>More (under Wireless and Networks) and tap the NFC toggle, or if you're rooted you can install Xposed and there is an Xposed module for "disabling NFC icon" I believe.

Thank you both! Finally it's gone. And I had one more question. There's a scratch or something inside of my display. Best Buy already said they'll exchange it when they get a grey M8 in stock. Is there a way to completely back everything up, including my launcher settings, K9 emails, etc, and just restore it? I know back when I had my samsung vibrant 3 years ago I was able to do complete backup and restores.
Yes and no. There's a backup app called Helium, which will allow you to backup and restore most things. It will still require some manual backing up, restoring, and a little reinstalling. Titanium Backup requires root, which I imagine you don't have? Not sure what HTC's own backup app does.

Bumping this post specifically to see about an answer to this question.
I'm on a stock M8, not rooted, and have had it for the past few days and both 4G and Wi-Fi icons are displaying when I'm connected over wi-fi. Just concerned it's somehow leeching or otherwise using mobile data as opposed to just wi-fi.
Sometimes I get that too but the "LTE" icon will disappear as soon as I open the browser.

Here's a preemptive answer to a question that's been asked countless times about this ROM- "How do I change the battery icon?"
Assuming you installed OGBatteryMod, tap on the battery icon in your status bar 3 times and you'll be presented with a list of many icons and can make your selection there.

I have been tethering for a long time and always had worked without a problem so here is the thing...
I have Nationwide 4G unlimited data plan but it doesn't allow me to tether by default so on my old phone Note II when I rooted and installed another ROM the tethering was fixed.. I don't know how.. yes yes I know that I have to switch Us.Agent.... I do switched just like I always did but it's just not working and by not working I mean it takes me to the T-Mobile page

OK try this. If you are using xposed and modules, you can use wanam and click on system you will then see an option for tethering provision. Disable it and reboot then try again. Let me know if it works.

OK. Have you ever tried treve mod? I can walk you through the setup that works for me. I'm going to look into VPN apps that would resolve the issue. I also need to know which browsers you have tried so we can try to find one that works for you after changing user agent.

Treve mod has a native framework tether option but you would still have to use the app to tether. I will look into it first thing in the morning. There's really no reason for it not to work right after you flash the ROM. I use treve mod but the native method also works. The only difference between your plan and mine is that I have true unlimited. That means that I have support for 2gigs of hotspot and unlimited data. The modded tethering provision.apk from TheSickness is working right out of the box for me. I can use the hotspot as much as I need.
BTW. On chrome you can change your user agent under developer tools. Look here http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string

Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
This is what I would try next if I was having your problem. I would save the tethering provision.apk from v4 to my SD card. Then I would flash v8 again and once it boots up I would replace the v8 tethering provision.apk with v4 and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. It's definitely worth a try. I wouldn't be surprised if it works!

OK. Download es file manager if you don't already have it and give it root access. Go to system/app and copy the tethering provision.apk and paste it somewhere where it will be easy for you to find it. Like the download folder. Then flash v8 and open es file manager go to system/app again and delete tethering provision.apk. now go to wherever you saved the v4 apk and copy it then paste it in system/app. Long press on the apk and click on properties. Then just change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot. You should be able to tether now.

As the title suggests, I found out that the data connection icon is always on even though I have disabled data connection.
Is this working as it should be? Because my old GS3 doesn't show the icon when I have disabled data connection.

I have successfully rooted my SM-N900T Note 3 and have installed CM11/OnePlus One ROM and it's awesome. The problem I'm having is having a solid LTE connection. Before all of the rooting, my network was perfect. Now when I make a call, it throws my connection into "H" signal and it makes my call quality bad.
Any suggestions or fixes to this? Anyone is welcome.
P.S: I've tried manually setting up a T-Mobile APN and it's done nothing, so that's out of the question.

CyanogenMod doesn't support VoLTE yet. So when you place a call it drops to H...nothing you can do about it besides go back to stock rom.
Thank you for your info on it. I think there's a fix for it though. I have 3 updates for CM, but it won't let me update and tells me update has been aborted. I may have to manually install the update.
