So I got the Android 10 update this morning. I'm on an unlocked Sprint Note 10+ however, after the update the phone recognized that I had an ATT sim installed and asked me to restart the phone right after it booted up from the Android 10 update. To my surprise, after it booted up now I have the dreaded AT&T next to the time on my status bar. Is there any way to remove it?
Hide carrier name though Developer options
There is one way but you will have Developer options enabled, so from the Developer Options scroll down till you find Demo Mode click on it and then click on enable Demo mode, and then click on show demo mode to turn it on and click on show Demo mode again to turn it off, and then you won't see the carrier name next to the time anymore
(Please note that doing this will hide your notifications in the status bar, you will only see your notifications when you pull down from the status bar on of the top of the phone.)

I've this issue where a sim card with a gear icon labeled as 'ZONE' is present at all times in the notification bar which unfortunately cannot be dismissed. Carrier is Videotron and from what I understand, all their NG's have this issue. I've dug around and have discovered that it's related to the SIM Toolkit APK and can be removed by rooting and deleting or freezing STK.APK. Force stopping is temporary as the APK eventually gets re-launched.
I've been reluctant to do the above, was resigned to tolerate it and then finally stumbled on a way to get rid of the notification. Note that it's a hack and has to be redone following a reboot or when turning the phone on, however, I like it for the reason that rooting and deleting or freezing the APK is not required:
- Put phone in Airplane mode
- Pull down the notification blind
- Long press on the Zone notification - APP INFO button will appear below the notification
- Hit the APP INFO button that appeared
- SIM TOOLKIT app info page will appear
- FORCE STOP the SIM Toolkit
- Turn Airplane mode off
And the notification is gone and will not reappear until the phone is rebooted. Perhaps a flag is not set when force stoping the APK in airplane mode, and consequently, the APK is not re-launched. Just a guess.
This is working for me and would appreciate if anyone else could confirm that this is a workable hack for GN's that have this issue. About my phone, I flashed stock YAKJU, rec'd OTA JB update, bootloader is unlocked, phone is NOT rooted.

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.

Have a good day
Anyone else have this problem with the icon in the status bar of the talkback icon showing up in settings saying that it is on?
I check the settings and it is definitely off but the icon remains.
I've restarted the device and reset the icon by turning it on and back off, but eventually the icon finds itself back on randomly.
It's pissing me off.

Same problem here . Usually happens after a restart. Only way I get rid of it is by enabling it and disabling it again (though operating in Talkback mode is a bit of a work and takes a bit of understanding of how to operate...like using using two fingers to swipe the screen and double tap instead of a single tap to select an option. Hence I would not recommend my way of getting rid of the icon, unless you know what you are doing ).
Samsung should really come up with a fix of this annoying bug.
Happen to me as well until I uninstall all apps that use this method to push notifications.
I.e. go launcher notification plugin

How can I hide everytime I unlock phone it says my wireless network. I have long pressed it but don't see a way to hide it.

Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly

UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...
Yup, like the title of the thread says.

Thank you
I meant the pop up notification, or toast message I believe. Yes I can swipe it, I know, but I programmed do not disturb, so I don't want to be notified via a pop up message
an update
I disabled the status bar icon as instructed above, but the system ui notification still popped up when DND is turned on.
When the system notification pops up, try:
Press and release the notification, it may shift right and you'll see a gear symbol and trash can.
Click the gear symbol, there maybe an option in there to disable notification

Nope Andy, there's no way to turn it off.
AutoNotification. It works perfect for blocking the notifications you choose!
Maybe this can help you?

I don't see the icon listed tho so I'm not sure if this can be applied for your case.
Btw I once tried this on Android 9 and it still worked so I assume this still works

Go to Settings, Notifications, App Notifications, choose "show system apps", select System UI app, toggle off Do Not Disturb notifications options there

Thank you, but it is grayed out so I cannot toggle it off.
I just re-read the setting, and it's for blocking notifications while DND is on, and not to turn off the notification that DND is on.
There's got to be a way.
this worked for me
