I've had the s4 for a few days and and still getting to know it. I find that when I am at home and I have wifi turned on, I still see the 4g symbol in the notification bar. When I double check my settings, I see that I am indeed connected to my home network. Can someone explain what might be going on? Thanks!

I've been looking for a widget (or widgets) that will give me the same kind of information that the status bar provides (battery, signal, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth). I've been able to find widgets that show me signal quality and battery status as well as some that contrable to find widgets that show me signal quality and battery status as well as some that control the others but don't show anything about their status. So the question right now is are there any widgets that show this information? The reason I'm asking is because I would like to be able to turn off the status bar but withoutis because I would like to be able to turn off the status bar but without losing access to all of this information.
Thanks

Widgetsoid is what I been looking for. Thanks op for posing the question and thanks to those that answered. Is there no 4G troggle widget for the epic 4G? Why are the all for the evo?
Statusbar+ is nice but to get full use and customobility you need the paid version :/

Thanks for the replies so far. Widgetsoid is definitely part of the solution thanks to its wi-fi and network signal indicators. Unfortunatly, its missing 4G status, 3G status, and Bluetooth status. All three of these are must haves for me... the first because a simple indication that 4G is running without an indication of signal strength or connectivity isn't worth the space it takes up, and the second two because my phone has a tendency to lock those up from time to time. Bluetooth disconnects without me directing it to do so and refuses to reconnect without turning it off and then back on and the 3G sometimes freezes with one or both of the streams on and won't work again unless I turn airplane mode on and then off again. As you might expect, I can't fix either of these issues unless I know they are going on, and without proper status information on them in a widget, I could find myself turning the status bar on and off constantly, which would totally defeat the purpose of all of this.
As far as Statusbar+, the point of all of this is to be able to get all of the information that the status bar provides in widget form so that I can turn off the status bar and have a clean home screen without having to turn it back on constantly.
I have been modding sysui for a week. Today I shut my phone off for a while. When I turned it on, NO STATUS BAR, until I connected my usb to my pc, and poof, STATUS BAR IS BACK. Disconnect, and works fine until I reboot or cycle power. I have changed a few xmls and smalis, and I'm totally confused. I know its sysui because I went back to stock. When I cycle power or reboot, no fc's, phone works normal, just statusbar is invisible. When I plug into usb, get "media connected" message and statusbar reappears. Is there any help or ideas???

Here is another update. If I get any sort of notification, the status bar reappears and stays until reboot or power cycle. Hmmmm

sorry i can't offer a solution, but... i see the same behavior using a modded SystemUI; i just toggle Wifi on/off and i'm good to go. a minor annoyance, yes; i'll wait to address once we can flash custom recoveries/ROMs. by the way i also experienced the same behavior on my Note II.

Thanks... good to know I'm not going crazy. I was good until I touched a smali. I too am waiting for recovery. Getting tired of moving entire apk's around. Getting a good handle on the changes to 4.2 which is time never wasted. Thanks again

I tried a couple of apps or widgets for airplane mode, but for some reason I couldn't even get them working. Could someone recommend a good app/ toggle / widget?
Also is there any app or widget to turn off the N4 cellular signal receiver?

long press the power button?
^this, or pull down the notification centre with two fingers.
Did you try Widgetsoid?
I do the "Power Button" for Airplane Mode.
For Mobile Data:
Widgets > Settings shortcut > Data usage
When you open it, you can turn on and off Mobile data, and still use WiFi and receive calls and SMS messages.
Didn't Google prevent non root apps from activating/deactivating airplane mode with Android 4.2? I just use Tasker with the secure settings plugin
Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I really appreciate it...
I still haven't found one app that would allow me to put a toggle on the home screen so that with one touch I can turn off or on the airplane mode. It seems all the suggestions require two or more touches?
Is there any toggle that with one touch on the home screen I can turn off/on the whole mobile network (not just data but also calls/messages) with wifi remaining on? I can't believe such a thing doesn't exist!
Try "Widgetsoid" or "Extended Controls". Been using them heavily before and they work pretty well. Although I havent tried recently since I went with a minimalist home screen.
Try power toggles.. U can add a lot of new ones in settings

Am I the only one wondering why he thinks having to do 2 touches actually is a problem?

thanks for your opinion. OK, not a big deal with two touches for the airplane mode. Care to share your experience regarding the following question?
Is there any app with which one can turn off/on the whole mobile network (not just data but also calls/messages) with wifi remaining on, regardless how many touches involved?

I use power toggles and the airplane toggle is not a true toggle. It takes you to the menu.

I like what the smart wifi does and dont want to turn it off. however it always seems like right when im in the middle of something the stupid notification will pop up asking me if i want to connect to one of the available wifi hotspots. is there a way to get rid of the popup? all i want is for it to enable/disable wifi when i am getting close to my known wifi locations.
menu -- settings.. wifi.... smart mode~.... turn off.......

That doesn't do it, either. I have that disabled and have for a while. But I still get those popup's every now and then.
Hello! I've been searching for answers on this but couldn't find anything. I'm on Verizon for reference.
Is there any way to remove the enormous amount of stuff from the status bar? Right now I have a battery icon, the battery percentage, the signal, what speed I'm connected at, some "N" looking symbol, a vibrate icon, a GPS icon (even though GPS is off), and the time.
I want to remove it down to battery percentage, time, and my connection speed. Is there any way to do this without installing a custom status bar? If not, which custom status bar is best?
Thanks!

Nope, not possible without rooting and using a custom one. The "N" is for NFC. If you turn it off, it'll go away. However, it's stupid that there's an icon for that since stock android doesn't have one.
I use the AT&T version with: no carrier label, black status bar, no volume slider, no brightness slider, and stock android buttons (back, Home, Recents). Check the Verizon development forum or perhaps the Apps/Themes sub forum.
Awesome thanks! I am already rooted and waiting for some amazing new ROMs. Are there any custom bars you would suggest?
