New ATT trend?

Hi, is it possible to remove the annoying "wifi connected" from the notification shade? it was on the htc one aswell. it seems that att keeps copying verizon, and their stupid additions to the software of a phone.
I know it goes away when you turn the wifi off, but i want to use wifi without having to see "wifi connected">
thanks

Not possible until someone develops a rom without it. Every company adds stuff to the software though, not just those two. At least there isn't a globe on the Note 2's home button like VZW lol

Go to applications manager and disable the stupid at&t WiFi app. That should fix it

It doesn't.

Disabling at&t hot spots app worked for me

All of these software additions seem stupid to us here at xda because they are put there with us powerusers in mind. They are simply trying to help those who are as tech savvy have an enjoyable experience with their hand held computers that happen to be able to call people.

If you are rooted you should check the dev section. I think someone posted a mod with it removed

Watch On S4 problem

All the sudden Watch On app is turning itself on and showing in the notifications area. I turn it off(tell it not to) but when I restart it's back. What happened? Fix?
Thanks.

Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"

Thanks, but that's what I have tried 6 times now. It automatically puts it back on restart.
Please help.

I came here and was just about to ask the same question. I could not figure out why this thing was always on in the notifications and status bar!

That is weird because I use my watch on app all the time. I disabled the notification from settings once and it stayed true. Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on ShoStock v2.0.

I am running SHOstock 2 and it happens to me too.
I reported it to samsung, you should too,
in the Settings near the bottom
Send feedback or get help
Report this faulty app Please!!!!

fix
Unless Samsung has updated the app behind the scenes.
This seems to have fixed the issue:
Under settings go into your applications
go to Samsung Watchon and hit the clear button,
Yes, you will have to re-setup your TV\Cable,
but the checkbox does not reset now.

I emailed them about the issue. You can report bugs from the app. I suggest everyone do the same

Lte icon won't go away

Can anyone tell me why my LTE icon will not go away. Did I enable something in settings? It wasn't that way until about a week ago.

My wife's has the same issue, and I have compared the deepest settings. I am a geek FWIW. I haven't tried rooting and/or reset though.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I don't know if this is why or not, but I always have a LTE symbol anymore, even on WiFi it doesn't go away. However it wasn't always like this. I noticed it happen immediately after my trial ran out for the Verizon caller id and I agreed to purchase it for 3 bucks a month. Once I did that I noticed I started getting the LTE symbol always. I just assumed it's normal because of caller Id?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I would say not. Neither of us has purchased the caller ID app.

Just disabled that caller ID App and now it's gone. Weird.

It's the caller ID app that causes it. Disable it or if your rooted delete it.

Confirmed on my wifes! I disabled it on the first day.

I'm guessing your last phone was a Samsung? I had the same thing happen because Google Play pushes what was last installed on your device so if you had a Samsung with Samsung push services it will install it. I started freaking out when my phone started downloading 100 apps and started eating my data up lol.
Just remove the push service from Google Play and it won't happen again if you factory reset or something.

Thanks for the hypothesis. I had a sgs3 before this phone.

Yeah, I just upgraded from a Galaxy s2x :thumbup:
I even tried the S4 but returned it, much happier with this device. Now I just need to find a mod to try out that works for the Canadian phone...
Enjoy your G2!

Stopping OTA

Hey guys. Is there a way to freeze the software update so it doesn't force push the kitkat ota overnight? I don't want kitkat until they get the battery drain from Bluetooth and phone idle under control.
I know of titanium backup and fotakill. I'm not rooted though.

There is no way to stop it unless you are rooted you really can't do much unless you are rooted its difficult to not have root because you need root to freeze apps
