unknown notification icon - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hello,
just rooted by Rogers S3.. and after rebooting it i got this icon i cannot get rid of in the status bar.. it's the Grey box looking thing with the -ve symbol
anyone know??

Means you have notifications turned off. If you root can you extract and post you modem. Rogers is lte correct. Want to try the modem to get around at&ts idiotic lock where we cannot choose lte vs 4g vs 3g.

[Q] 3G and 4G signal icons: Gray and Blue... What's the difference?

What are the meanings for the 3G/4G status bar icon colors changing from gray to blue? Mine seem to stay gray today and will not turn blue like it has been previously. If you have a good explaination I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I figured out the difference in the 3G/4G status bar icon colors. Blue is when background data is enabled and gray is when background data is disabled. (you will also see gray 3G/4G icons for a few seconds while your phone switches between 3G and 4G)
To change this setting go to... Settings: Battery and data manager: Data delivery
Check or unchecked the box accordingly. We learn something everyday.
I come from the Heroland and that usually means that you aren't logged into your gmail account or no internet connection. Just my 0.02 cents!

Gray from what I can tell is no active data connection.. It's trying to connect but not.. I see it when going from 3g to 4G and the reverse

When it's blue then your phone has a connection to google's servers (ie. your gmail account) and gray means that it doesnt have any connection to google's servers.
Thanks for the answers guys. I'm only getting gray 3G and 4G icons now. Not sure why but my data speeds are back to crap again also. Maybe I turned off "background data" so I'm about to check.

I had that icon come up when I was roaming. sorry can't remember exactly what I did to get rid of it...
**EDIT***
just remembered! It was when I turned notifications off. Try switching Notifications back on. should fix it.
From the Drop Down, Choose Notification
-slide down the status bar
-find the notification toggle
-be sure it is activated (toggle should be green)
-done!
I too had your problem, I thought I could upgrade my phone lol sadly I was mistaken.
I do think that the icon could have been of a better design and as such more understandable.

[Q] Why doesn't lock screen notification swipe work?

Slightly odd one, I've got a new i9300 out of the box, firmware LG8/LH1 UK stock, and for some reason a swipe down from the top of the screen will open the notification area the first time after a boot, after that it doesn't open. I have to do a screen swipe to unlock, then pull down the notification bar. I've got another S3 I've been using for months that this works perfectly on, with the same firmware setup. Very puzzled as to why this doesn't work as it should on a stock device; any ideas, anyone seen it before?
Just for anyone else finding the same issue, it turns out that putting a SIM card in solved it. No SIM = No lockscreen notification swipe, weird and obscure bug...
Strange.... Does this mean wifi only device like Nexus7 cannot pull the notification when the screen is locked? Or maybe is just Touchwiz's bug?

No idea about the Nexus 7, but the lock screen notification swipe does work on the (WiFi-only) Transformer Infinity, so it's probably something to do with having an empty SIM slot rather than not having a cellular connection.

Assuming your rooted. To remove it from the notificationbar add this line to your build prop "ro.config.donot_nosim=true". To remove it from the lockscreen Install wanam xposed, open, go to lockscreen and click hide carrier label. That's the easiest way that I know how to do it. I'm sure there's a more technical way but this worked for me.

i am not rooted, im scared to root as it may chance my CDMA carrier flash.

Same here
Hello, I have been looking around all over the place in search of a solution to the aforementioned problem. I have a Galaxy Note 3 N900P (hltespr) running stock 4.3 rooted.
I cannot seem to find a way to remove the "No Sim" car notification in the status bar. I do not have a SIM card as I got my phone in an auction hence the lack of data plan and SIM.
I have tried an Xposed module which supposedly removes the said notification...didn't work.. I also tried looking in the build.prop file to no avail. Usually a reboot removes the notification, but disabling airplane mode brings it back permanently.. even force-stopping the System Ui process removes the notification but it comes back shortly after disappearing.
Have you found any way to remove this annoying notification??

How remove Korean time widget in lock screen?

hi guys,
how did you managed to remove this korean time in the lock screen????
thxx for helping
if you have F600L , you can download app Dual clock Remover in Play Store then open it, choose chec Both, then untick the first row ( may be F600K working, i don't tried ) . Nothing solution in F600S . all app remove dual clock not working.
fantastic, thank you worked like a charm
If you have a F600S like I do I got to turn it off by accident. I was in a roaming location designated by the bars with a small R and I went into clocks and there it was. a check box to turn dual clock display off. I just unchecked it and now no more dual display on lock screen. Yes!

I got my phone into roaming mode by putting a SIM card from another country and... bam! I was able to disable it.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Thanks for that it has been driving me mad!
Luckily I am travelling to France tomorrow from the UK so great opportunity to switch it off!
Now If only I could get rid of the Korean language on the dialler! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/simple-help-questions-korean-import-t3239629)

just curious if is possible to force go in Roaming not having a sim from another country....
I couldn't get this to work.
The phone went into Roaming mode as indicated by the little R on the signal bars.
However for some reason the clock screen did not give me roaming options .
I fact the phone would not let me switch on the data networks!
Very frustrating

How to Disable Roaming Dual clock on LG G5 LG-F700S Android 5.1/6.0/7.0
(by lancejen on reddit)
There are tutorials on the web to teach people how to disable the roaming dual clock on G2/G3 by using the QuickShortcutMaker app or Dual Clock Remover app to uncheck the Use roaming dual-clock setting, however this particular method doesn't work on the LG-F500S model.
To remove the lockscreen roaming dual-clock on the LG-F700S, follow the following steps:
Download QuickShortcutMaker
Search under ACTIVITIES the keyword "KT"
Click open 'Roaming' and then click on 'Roaming KT Roaming Test'
Create shortcut and open the shortcut
Check 'RAD TEST'
Turn off WiFi while keeping Data on, check the mobile signal strength icon now appears with a letter 'R'
Go Settings - Date & Time
The originally grey-out 'Roaming dual clock' item now becomes black and clickable.
Click to Disable the roaming dual clock.
Uncheck 'RAD TEST'
Turn on the Airplane mode, then off again to remove the 'R' status.
Now the phone works like before with the lockscreen showing only one clock.
