I have recently noticed that there is a 4G LTE icon on the notification bar. I can't remember if it was always there but it would be really nice to remove it.
I'm on a G930V with the QC9 firmware stock, I am rooted with SuperSU and wouldn't mind flashing a patch if necessary.
Edit: forgot to mention that it is a constant icon and stays there even when connected to wifi and not using mobile data.

Hi. On my gm-g900i (australian) s5 i have the latest XtreStoLite installed with the correct bootloader & modem.
For some reason at all times it shows 4g in the status bar, even when i am not in an app that requires internet. It will only drop to 3g when i am in a poor signal area.
Why does this not dynamically change based on apps used, as it did in kit kat? Have i done something wrong? I am after the power saving of 3g for background data, then 4g when using an app like facebook, chrome etc. This was automatic before?
thanks in advance.
If you're in a 4G enabled area, it'll connect to 4G
If you don't want it to, disable mobile data
Hello, This may be a simple question, but it's puzzling me at the moment.
I have a Galaxy S4 , rooted and running Hyperdrive 21. I haven't changed any setting in the past few weeks. For the past couple of days, the 4G icon will show up in the top bar, while on WiFi. It has never done that before. When I connect to WiFi the signal indicator was always there, but the 4G icon was not. I always relied on this to know if I was using my cell data or WiFi. Now I don;t know if the phone is using 4G or Wifi?

Mine will only show the 4G icon when I'm sending or receiving a MMS at home on WiFi. Could that be what's happening?
No, I'm not sending or receiving a mms
Sprint does this thing where they display "3G" even when the phone is only connected using 1xRTT.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make the phone show 1x for 1xRTT and 3G for EVDO and eHRPD? There's a big difference between 1x and EVDO (60-130Kbps vs 750-1800Kbps) where I live and it'd be nice to know at a glance without having to open Settings->About->Status->SIM Status
Signal check will show what band/ connection type in status bar.
This Signal Check? Is that a pro-only feature? I'm not seeing anything about status bar in the Lite version of that app.
An app running in the background is ok, but I'm really more interested in something like flashing a new icon or changing a hidden setting or something. I'm currently on stock rom, but would changing ROMs fix the icon?
Yep looks like it's pro only
I found the free version of LTE Discovery can also do this, it just doesn't start on bootup.
After flashing the firmware stock 6.0.1 the signal icon (4G, 3G, H +, H, 2G) still appears transparently with data off and wifi, is it normal? Is there any solution? It bothers me aesthetically ...
It is normal, no need to worry, and there is no option to get this off.

It's default icon in stock ROM..
You can hide it, but it will also hide network strength icon ?...
For that follow this... pull notification bar down and touch Setting icon (gear) for long.... After that system UI tuner will be activated... You can find that in Settings, above About phone option...
You will find 'status bar icon' there... Find Mobile data and disable it....
Even if the WIFI and Mobile Data are off, does the icon always appear? :crying:
Unlocked bootloader, got twrp installed, rooted no problems. Then I read a post saying for wifi tether to flash magisk, download the app and then enable the wifi tether app. easy enough right? So the wifi tether works but now I no longer get LTE signal. I went into twrp, wiped three times, and flashed my backup. still no LTE. full signal bar on 3G. If I turn on airplane mode and then turn it off I will get LTE with an ! next to the signal bar and then it will go back to 3G . Any thoughts????
couple of screen shots
I have gone through resetting radio, switching modes, going to global. no LTE. Guy at best buy is cool and is letting me exchange for a new phone. Just wont be in till thursday.

Kind of proves the point I was making in another thread yesterday that additional apps and gimmicks are seldom the best way to fix things. Sorry to see you are having problems. You might try flashing the modem for your phone. Also, check the APN to which you're connecting.
