[REQUEST][MOD] Hide 4G notification on 3.70

So, i upgraded to Fresh 3.5 which is based off of the OTA 3.70. and now when i keep 4G on and there is no 4G signal around that notification icon sits on the top left corner of the task bar. it's a 4G icon with an exclamation point on it and when you pull the notification bar down it says "4G antenna is ON, tap to scan for 4G service" can someone please find a way to hide this icon. I like to keep 4G turned on all the time and don't want to keep seeing this every time the 4G connection drops. TIA.

I second this!!

We can't be the only two to find this annoying.

Sprint could get all information from user.. note phone is rooted and flag account

No they can't, I'll called them today, no flagging or anything. And remember rooting is not illegal, and they cannot flag your account for doing it. Their saying this is a feature to save battery life. I disagree. My thought is they couldn't figure out how to get the 3G to 4G handoff to happen properly so this is their solution. BTW, I've had nothing but problems with 4G stalling since I've owned the phone so this is still an issue.

For those of you wanting to lose the constant notification. It's in the framework-res.apk You can use Gimp to make it transparent and then push the framework back to your phone. Or you can pull your framework and make your own flashable zip. Then you can keep modifying anytime you want to change something with 7-zip.

It's actually not in framework-res, and making the image transparent keeps the spacing allocated and continues to display the notification text in the "notifications" section of the drop down window.
So, having said that, consider the attached (flash via recovery) EXTREMELY experimental. It "should" remove all the corresponding 4G notifications. What I don't know, is if in doing so, it breaks the ability to automatically reconnect when leaving and re-entering a 4G area. This isn't as easy to remove as icons to the right of the status bar, or even some on the left. This uses android's built-in notifications framework, which requires ongoing services, etc, to report activity on the top left side, and in trying to break its display, it is certainly possible more than just its display has been "broken".
Again, give it a shot and see if it works without any unintended side affects. But, be warned, as mentioned, it may. Just not sure, as I haven't been able to test it enough to verify it works as intended.
Nandroid before flashing so you can restore more easily if it doesn't work as intended.

It flashed just fine, I haven't left my 4G area yet so well see if it effects reconnection. I let everyone know. Now I just need to change the scanning frequency interval back to what it was before because it seems that the interval is longer now, thus they put a button on the notification bar to instantly activate it. Thank you Sir for your help, and a Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to everyone.

After looking at the wimax setting the values that changed are-
Previous- wimax entry delay(s)600
Current- wimax entry delay(s) 300
and
Handoff Threshold
Previous - 0
Current - 6
I changed my handoff back to 0 and well see what happens, and I'll try 3 and report back.
I'm also going to lower entry delay and see what it does to battery life.
The (Previous) settings are taken from a post from July, so who know what there were a few weeks ago.

I can confirm that the .zip file works perfectly. Gets rid of the notification and reconnection works fine. Still playing with the scan settings in regards to battery life.

Finally, back on the forum. Thanks for making this mod. Downloading now and will give it a try.

Cool, thank for the additional confirmation.

Sorry to be so noobish. I just got my first android phone and just (stupidly) applied this update today and I hate how it doesn't reconnect the 4g automatically and makes me rescan. I really wish I could make the 4g how it was before.
My phone is not rooted or anything its just an HTC evo with a white backing right out of the box and updated. What should I do?
I'd be more than happy to donate to the developer of this method just need a little help here please.

You beat me to the same question. While it is trivial to undo, how did you apply in the first place?
I guess it is feasible to extract the apk from the zip, and manually click to install from your sd card, but somehow I doubt this is what was done...
Either way, for future edification, since you would have to know what apk it is, if you installed it this way, why not just download a stock ROM and pull out the same apk and re-apply?
This is what I have done and attached.

[Q] Stop Battery full popup notification

(Sorry if this thread needs to be put anywhere else)
I have read a few different threads about this, and its mainly pertaining to the sound. And 'freezing the fullbatterypopup' in the systems folder does not seem likely, as I dont want to pay for the full version of titanium just for this issue.
This page says it all = http://www.xda-developers.com/android/stop-battery-full-popup-on-android/
But the link is dead. Is their aaany way at all to get rid of this annoying popup after the charge? I dont care about the sound, its the bright light that kills me. I use one night stand for a night clock and the phone's right next to me.
Im using Ultimate G2x ROM right now. (2.2.2) I switch between a few, but would like to know if theirs either a work around or a simple stop thats possible.
Thank You!

Stop battery full popup notification and others
I too have been STFA trying to find a way to stop this pop up notification as well as other secondary confirmation pop ups that are annoying as shat (are you sure? are you sure?) this may be fine for the masses that have decision making issues, but I don't need this crap.
Can someone please help in finding a way to stop some of these annoying pop ups, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

The only way to stop that popup is to install CM7 or another AOSP-based ROM.
Anything that's based on LG's ROMs will have that popup. No one has been able to figure out how to remove them from LG-based ROMs.

Yes, That is truly annoying!!!

Notifications not working on ICS

I looked around and didn't see anything as specific as this, so I'll ask the question.
A lot of my notifications don't work 80% of the time, whether it's gmail, sms, or a game notification. All notifications are set to be on, but I have a theory. With Ice Cream Sandwich, there is the option to hold the back button on your phone and it will kill your app. I wonder if this might be a culprit. For instance, if I'm reading a text and hold the back button to kill the app, is it possible for that to kill the push notification as well? Granted it could be the ROM I'm using, but no one else on that particular forum has any problem like I've described. Does anyone have any ideas or has this happened on a regular basis? Most things I can live without, but if someone's trying to send me a text message, it might be hours before I think to check it and find out that hours before someone had sent me one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

what rom? how did you flash said rom? Full wipe of data/cache/dalvik? did you restore ANY data or settings with tibu and if so which ones? to me this is sounding like a bad flash. back-to-kill will only take out the active application, notification and sms retrieval is a background process and not susceptible to that.

The rom is The Collective's Redemption. I did do everything mentioned above and the only thing I used tibu for was to restore my apps, but not to restore phone settings. I haven't tried to reflash, and maybe that will be my fix. I still want to see if others might have had this happen to them.
Thanks for the suggestions Darunion.

Been running( mostly) Red for a couple of weeks. I have not seen that issue. The first flash of it did have some strange notification behavior. The contacts app would let me assign ringtones to individual contacts but would still play only the default ringtone when I got a call. Everything has been working properly since the second flash.

Thanks Gato, I'll flash the new Alpha 8r3 and see if it corrects my problem. If not, I'll post back here.

[Q] Disable Wireless Charging

I have recently got a wireless charging card and a charging pad. (http://amzn.com/B00DDTZN4S) I really enjoy using it and don't have any issues aside from this one. When the the phone reaches 100% the device displays a "Fully charged please remove from charger" or something like that (with an audible alert) then about 5 seconds later it signals that it is wireless charging again (also with another audible alert) then stops again 5 seconds later with the fully charged message. This pattern continues until it is removed from the pad. I have a wireless charging dock in my vehicle and the notifications constantly popping up and interrupting Navigation, music, and other hands free activities. Not to mention the constant audible alerts.
I am trying to find a way to disable the wireless charging capability once it reaches 100% then reactivating it once it drops below 95%. Does anyone know of a solution?
I am rooted and use Tasker.

There are 2 mods in here that may work to disable to two opposing popups. Just have to figure out how to decompile an APK, although I don't really want to go that route. (as it would need to be reapplied after every ROM update.)
For further information I am using the R.O.D.T v1.1 (6/5) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725140
For the sake of the argument in there a way to turn off charging at all? isn't it controlled by the Kernel or even the OS? Or do they just report what is happening with the hardware?

No luck with those mods. I followed them exactly and tested them separately. Both cause SystemUI.apk to not start on boot. (No background picture, status bar missing). I reverted back to an unmodified version, now everything is fine, but still have the pop-ups.
Anyone have another solution?

Try the mod I posted HERE in that thread to see if it makes any difference.
Reply there if you're still having issues as I do not have a wireless charger.

These mods have fixed the issue! No more annoying notifications. When connected, it just starts charging, when full, it just stops.
I would like to note my previous issue was that I was using an odexed ROM. Unfortunately these mods only work with deodexed ROMs.

Is this the dreaded lag issue (necessitating an RMA)?

About three months ago my Pixel 2 (purchased new from Google) began having an issue where it becomes unresponsive or extraordinarily delayed on responding. It almost always happens when I'm waking the phone up from being locked. When it happens, the phone will eventually unlock but everything reacts several seconds after contact (power button, taps, swipes). A reboot or power down fixes the problem, but is always necessary.
I switched to Project Fi around that time and thought it had something to do with the switching between CDMA and GSM (Sprint/US Cellular vs T-Moble) towers, but I've switched to T-Mobile (a solely GSM provider) since and the problem persists.
I am running Android Pie (stock). My bootloader is unlocked and I do have Magisk installed. No TWRP. I don't have any obvious troublemakers installed (like Xposed, for example) and only a few apps that even use root (Cerberus, Adaway, and Nova Launcher).
I have heard about the Pixel 2 XL having a hardware issue that results in unresponsiveness and that ultimately requires sending in the device for a replacement. Is this the same thing?
Any advice would be much appreciated. If it would be helpful, I can produce logs, but I'll have to wait until it happens again to offer logs that might contain clear indications of what might be happening.

Well, I have Nova set up to hide the dock unless I swipe up (or down) on it. I can't seem to find a setting about hiding the navbar. Where should I be looking to check?

We're talking about the back button and the new pill gesture button, right? If so, then no I haven't installed anything to hide those: they are always visible.

Well, after 24 hours, I had the issue resurface. Unfortunately, the logging app I was using (matlog) froze up with the phone and produced a blank text file. While rebooting restored normal function of the phone, I can't produce a log as a result.
It occurs to me that while I am not disabling the navbar, I do use a function of the Cerberus anti-theft app to disable the notification bar while locked. Could this be the source of my issue? If so, is there any way to confirm this?
In the meantime, I've disabled that function and will see if the lock-up occurs again.
I'm curious where you were going with the question about the navbar. Could you tell me more about what you were thinking it might have been?

I went ahead and disabled the 'block status bar' function of the Cerberus app and the problem has not resurfaced in over two days (it was occurring several times daily). Although I can't definitively prove it, I think the culprit was the app.
Thanks for the time and assistance!

Sorry I didn't get back to you I read this a while back and totally thought I responded. Yeah anything that hides the status bar or navbar from the system UI at all times is known to cause wake issues. On my essential phone it would require me to restart it to actually get the screen to come back on. It's called the deep sleep of death or something haha

Hello Crixley,
No worries at all - I'm always grateful when anyone responds around here because I know that we're all balancing regular life and our hobby time!
I'm relieved to hear that it is a known issue, though I'm going to miss the functionality! I wish Google would build some kind of equivalent security measure so that the network state can't be changed while the phone is locked. I'm guessing that this issue is exactly why they haven't gotten to it (yet?).
Thanks for your time & support, both here with my issue and across the forums.
Peace,
Computerslayer
