I'm on the mf3 firmware with my galaxy s4 and I want to remove the "AT&T" from the notification area at the top left. does anyone know how to do this? someone said remove the "att" in 'ro.product.device=jflteatt'
would this work? I can't just try it because there is no stock firmware available yet
That's not going to work. Don't know what does, but that won't.
ronnie498 sent me a link to http://www.andromods.com/apps-mod/g...e-carrier-label-and-replace-4g-lte-icons.html
Edit build.prop file:
Locate for this line (AT&T model):
ro.product.device=jflteatt
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.name=jflteuc
And change it to:
ro.product.device=jflte
ro.product.model=GT-I9505
ro.product.name=jfltexx
Before the changes can be saved, a reboot is necessary.
I have tried this and it does work, removes the AT&T text logo on the left side of the notification area and also replaces the LTE icons on the right. This does change your model # in the 'about phone' information. will this cause any problems with anything else? or will there be a reason to change it back?
Thank you ronnie498 for the link, that AT&T was driving me crazy! lol
You may have problems getting apps from the play store. It's going to think you have an i9505. As long as the apps are comparable with the 337 and 505 it shouldn't be a problem.

ok so i have done a little research and a little homework, and even some trial and error and been able to get no where.
since flashing my rom and installing the gapps. i have noticed sprint has apparently hijacked my phone (not literally of course.)
my notifications window and carrier id on lockscreen all went to Sprint. This was a really easy fix.
i noticed that the downloads tab in my market app. suddenly says Sprint. i screwed around with it for a little while and cleared the app data, reloaded the market and voila! there was my download tab. this victory was short lived.
today i open my market app again only to discover that sprint is really really trying to get me to leave my current carrier (again, not literally) and has once again hijacked my market app and stolen my downloads tab in lieu of their Sprint tab.
so i did some more looking. using a root explorer i managed to find this file under /system/build.prop there are some notable entries here:
ro.build.brand=sprint
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
can i change these entries on my own? is it possible to just comment them out entirely?
towards the bottom of the file there is the following entry that seems to conflict with the above entry
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google
sorry just realized that i may have posted this in the wrong section.
Just a (stupid) question.
I bought Atrix ATT and I have it unlocked but the name of the carrier in Swiss does not display.
I tried all the anothers networks and they appear any ideas?
Thanks
Try flashing a different radio with rsd lite
wow. alot of people try to get their carrier to disappear.
Sometimes its really helpful to have it shown, like me for instance, I travel back and forth between two countries and I need to know which carrier I'm on.
I know there is a roaming indicator, but its not near as visible as a carrier name.
So I too like to know a way of enabling that feature. Oh by the way, the suggested radio change didn't work for me, no carrier name showed up.

I am thinking two possible problems:
1) An xml file that does not have the carrier name in it (thinking apns.xml)
2) The settings.db (or some .db file in any case) - look up the AT&T wireless hotspot fix on which file and how to edit. You may be lacking your carrier's info here.

I don't think that's the problem because when I roam into att which is my Atrix original carrier it still don't show the name.
I'm thinking that may be due to my very old sim card.
Or a combination of both.
If so, how did you fix MMS for our phone? It something that I still have problems with.
I was able to find a solution to my problem. Although I'm still having trouble with TW ROMs, AOSP ROMs work great with this.

Ok, I had the same MMS issues after flashing June 29th's nightly in that I couldn't receive MMS.
DISCLAIMER: My service provider is Ting - which is a Sprint MVNO (a hell of a lot cheaper, see sig). There are known problems of running custom firmwares on Ting because the provisioning doesn't get set right from Sprint. Because of this, we custom-ROMers have to edit our APNs to make MMS work.
With that that said, I had to edit the APN file and select the correct one in the APN settings. Once i did that, BAM, I could send and receive MMS from other Ting users as well as verified from Verizon and AT&T. The only thing I haven't verified is MMS from other Sprint users, since I have changed the APNs (will do that later today).
NOTE: The instructions below is to get MMS working on the Galaxy S4 with CM10.1 Nightly build June 29th. You may ignore the mms.plspictures.com settings, and it may work for normal Sprint users. Or hell, try to use the mms.plspictures.com anyways to see if it works on Sprint. mms.plspictures.com seems to be an open gateway for any carrier, as it is specified as the Roaming option in stock ROMs.
Step 1: The apn.conf.xml file...
First thing I noticed when starting to flux with my APNs is that CM10.1 includes a butt-load in their drops - that every variant gets (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Boost, Sprint, etc etc). Nothing about Ting in here. It seems to be a one-size fits all.
Someone that has the time to research what each specific setting is, and the codes, might be able to clean up CM10.1's APN file to match/get updated to match the Samsung oem one for Sprint variants. But I don't have that time.
At first, I tried to edit the CM10.1 file for Ting-specific requirements: replace all instances of mms.sprintpcs.com with mms.plspictures.com. This did not work, though I forgot about Step 2 below so it may have worked.
What I did was to copy the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4's stock/oem apns-conf.xml file off before I threw CM10.1 onto the phone. This file is attached as:
Code:
// original Sprint Galaxy S4's APN file attached
//
apns-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip
// rename it to apns-conf.xml if you plan to use it.
//
// this file exists in /system/etc/
// you must mount as read/write to copy the file
// (or use root explorer, es file explorer, etc).
//
You'll notice it is a hell of a lot smaller than the CM10.1 version. Again, I think the CM10.1 version is a one-size-fits-all approach. How about we just use the Spring version, since that is our variant? See attached gs4-oem file.
Now, this still did not work on the S4 with CM10.1 6/29/2013 nightly. So I edited the file to match the Ting specifics outlined above, with mms.plspictures.com. Still didn't work.
Finally, I forgot one last step...
Step 2: Specify which "APN to use", whatever that means...
There is one last step you must do when editing this APN file: you have to "edit and select it" elsewhere in the UI. For some reason, while this does list the the APNs in your config file, the settings are still wrong. You have to change them as well.
With CM10.1, there is a "Voice Dialer" app. You must use this app to access the APNs to edit and select as I have no idea how to get to this edit screen without that Voie Dialer app. On Samsung's S4 stock ROM, there is a ##....# combination to enter to get to a similar menu - but still different.
1) Open Voice Dialer and say, "Open A P Ns", just like that.
2) Once open, you'll have to go into each APN and see if it lists mms.sprintpcs.com. If it does, change it to mms.plspictures.com. Change each and every one you see.
2b) If you edit, REMEMBER TO SAVE IT! This is so cumbersome, but after you edit a field, make sure to click the Menu button, and there is the hidden option to "Save" it. If you just click back, you'll loose your changes.
3) lastly, you'll need to select/click on the bullet-point to select the one you edited. If you are using the CM10.1 apn-conf.xml file, it's your best guess as to which one to select - I can't help you there. Using the attached apn-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip, you only have 1 to select that had mms.sprintpcs.com.
4) Reboot.
A note on step 2 above, I was using the oem Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 apn-conf.xml that I attached to this post. So I only had 3 listed, and only 1 had the mms.sprintpcs.com. If you don't use the oem Sprint apn.conf.xml and want to try using the CM10.1 version, you'll be editing 4 or 6 of them! Yes, there's a lot more to edit. Make sure to edit each and every one though, because that's the only way I got my Galaxy Nexus to work on Ting as well. But now my Galaxy Nexus is using this same apn-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip that I attached, only 1 to edit now.
OT: MMS over WIFI: the holy grail for us Ting users is getting MMS working over WIFI with AOSP-based ROMs (so we can limit our data usage). I've tried dozens of combinations and have come to the conclusion that the stock Messaging app in AOSP (and any AOSP-based ROM across several devices) is somehow hardcoded to use only a specific mobile-specific APN for sending and receiving MMS. If I ever get the time, among my dozens of other projects (building a house, by hand!), I would grab a dump of the AOSP, looking for how a text message is received and determined to be an MMS message, and see how it accesses which APN/network device to send/receive with. I would then compare it by decompiling the oem Samsung Galaxy S4's Messenger APK (if it is not obfuscated) - because the stock Samsung Galaxy S4 DOES SEND OVER WIFI! I verified this with Ting billing, as well as leaving Mobile Data off all of the time as well as with BetterBatteryStats (after I rooted the stock S4) and looked at what was using network bandwidth. Samsung's stock (and really sh1tty / non-Emoji-compatible / non-Japanese friendly / compresses images too small - all compared to AOSP's original Messaging app) Messaging app was listed as using Wifi for the size of the pictures I was sending!
Such a PITA...

Hello today i come to you with a small problem in the S6 EDGE Sprint variant Model SM-G925P. As seen with the picture below the APN settings are unable to modified via the main system settings, now i didnt let this stop me i took the liberty on researching how to edit/create APNs via Buildprop Editor but no dice there as well seems as Sprint may have taken the extra step to prevent these changes from happening.
With this SS you can see that ADD is Grey'd out along with all the APNs Tht Came Stock on my Phone.

Hi
I tried searching on xda if there is existing query like this but there wasn't that is why i created a new thread.
I have bought an LG v20 H910 unlocked in Pakistan with internal 64gb memory and on android 7.0 (not sure if rooted because i am not tech savvy, i just use stock rom). The device is unlocked and works with the sim that i put in but there is a branding "Pakistan telecommunication network" in the lock screen as well as on home screen taskbar when the sim is inserted. I tried changing the sim (on a different network) but it didn't resolve. I also tried finding the option in settings menu to hide operator name in the taskbar but there is no such option.
The point is, it is taking a lot of space on taskbar which is almost half of it and blocks the view for notifications. Also, it is quite annoying to see it. If it were a logo i would have ignored it but since it is taking half of status bar that is why i am annoyed and want it to be removed/hidden.
Please help me with this. I really love this phone but this thing is turning me off from using it. I have put my sim in old phone and using it till i find some solution for resolving it.
For reference i have attached the screenshots.
Same problem with "Telephonica 02 UK Limited" taking up about a third of the status bar.
Did you find a solution in the end?
Guess it depends on the carrier. I'm in Canada with "Videotron" and it's nowhere to be seen in the status bar...

Well not as of yet. I have found some workarounds but i don't know which one might work.
1. first option is to install system UI tuner from play store, granting adb permissions and see if the app opens any settings for hiding the carrier name.
2. flashing it with some other rom.
3. rooting it and then installing custom rom.
i have tried the 1st option so far and there is no such option in system ui tuner to hide the carrier name. I am afraid of doing the rest of other options because i am not a techy person and i dont want to end up with a bricked phone.
Pakistan Telecommunication Mobile Netwok -> Ufone ? @awaisagha can you share with me your modem-dump of h-910, My H910 shows only ufone or the carrier i am using name, but my modem has got no carrier data
