Can anyone tell me what the icon with little house means? Thank you
Are you connected to a wifi network expander? I'm pretty sure that's what the icon means

Not sure, it happens when I'm out at different places, such as visiting my mom at nursing home and at restaurants sometimes.

Yes it's definitely a network extender icon. I have one in my house.

Thanks!
WidgetSoid
I like widgetsoid personally, you can have alot of cool setting i use it to replace the power control widget. hope thats what your looking for.
EDIT:

Widgetsoid 2.2
Give this one a whirl, takes the power widget and adds more options:

Well I tried both of the suggested ones, but when I click on to switch 2g/3G it does not switch but it brings me to the MObile Networks menu.. I do not have an option to "use 2G only". I can go in and specify a Network Mode
1) GSM/WCDMA (automatic)
2) GSM only
3) WCDMA only
Nowhere does it say 2G. So none of the one lick switch widgets that tried work..

Option 2 "GSM only" is the same thing as 2G only. Option 3 "WCDMA only" forces the phone to only use 3G networks for data.

So basically the widget does nothelp me in 1-2 clicks to switch..? I need to so it with like 4 clicks, cuz even when u select it, it gives you a warning..
android software
Due to the android set up, no widget that i know of will do it in just one click, and since the release of the Ji6 update. they took away the 2g only button and replaced it with the wcdma/gsm toggle instead. hope that helps to sort out the problem.

Oh, really? OK, that makes sense, cuz I updated to JI6 few days ago. thanks for the clarification. Will the feature be available in Froyo?

i really dont no for sure it there will ever really be a one click switch, but you can still switch just takes a few more clicks. thats all. just put it on gsm and thats the 2g. thats what i do when im in poor coverage areas. and your welcome hope it helps out.
I'm using Widgetsoid to switch between 2g/3g, but it still takes 4 total clicks. Is there a 1-click option available for rooted users?
Thx!
CM9 has a 2G/3G toggle in the power widget on the status bar. One click to go to 2G preferred, another click to set it back to 2G or 3G. Easy.

Looks like you're stuck with your widget then. Unless you use something like Tasker to have it switch to 2G or 3G under certain circumstances (time/whatever) or if certain conditions are met.
Use this

Thanks, but that's still 4 CLICKS! Same as Widgetsoid.
I'm surprised there's no mod for this.....
Why don't you code one ? I'm sure the community would be eternally grateful.

LoL! I couldn't code a shortcut.
Haha ;-) Me neither.
Edit - Honestly, Tasker is as close as you're going to get to what you want if you don't want to use CM9.

I couldnt find an app either. One simple work around though. After selecting GSM/WCDMA mode, press the home button. The rule is to keep the current settings page in background. Switch it as and when necessary. All you have to do is to launch the Task Manager (like holding home key) and select the desired network mode. Still takes less than 3 touches.
Simple, not a concrete one though!
You could give a try to for example AOKP custom rom. You can customize status bar icons, there's a button to switch between the two modes.
Xposed
Just download xposed and then gravity box you can make a shortcut in there. (NOTE: This requires a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. )
So I got my phone today and I can not figure out what the icon displayed to the left of the alarm icon in the notification bar is. Additionally how in the world do I get rid of it.

I believe it's a part of Sense. So, no, unless you flash a custom rom.

Simple enough. While I have your attention, do you by chance have any idea why I am getting some weird display under my time on lock screen. See link

Makes the icon transparent. Flash in recovery. I did this for T-Mobile One, should work for AT&T too.

Although I doubt a need for this. How do I revert and get the symbol back after flashing?

Flash this if you want to return to the stock icon.
Thanks.. Worked like a charm. Have NFC w/o the annoying NFC icon. Although I'm not sure what I'll use NFC on. lol Thanks for the hard work!
Will this still take up a slot in the notification bar (meaning there will be an empty space if a new notification icon pops up)? Also how do I revert if want to undo this?

Just tried it. It does NOT get rid of the icon, it only makes it invisible. I plugged in my headphones and there was an empty slot in my status bar in between the headphone icon and the wireless icon.

oh you are right. sorry I actually had my NFC off. I turned it on, plugged in a headset and verified what you just posted.
So, does anyone actually know how to get rid of the icon entirely? It doesn't exist in the international ROMs, so there must be a way to do it.

Didn't work for me
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but i wanted to put this somewhere, and i installed this app recently.
Why after i installed this, it says "optimizing 5/250 apps"? Really? 250 apps?
I smell spyware...
I'm using the T-Mobile V30 and I can go into settings or the t-mobile app to activate the mobile hotspot but it's not an option to add a toggle to the pull down (notification panel) menu, does anyone else have this issue or know how to add it?
Yeah ... same here.
I think they are trying to push everyone to use the Tmo app
Yeah, no toggle here either but at least there is still the option to tether in the settings menu.
Ugh, that is so annoying. It was so nice to just hit the toggle. I can't wait for root.

Have you tried looking for a widget in the play store to handle this? You might have some luck there!

The T-mobile hotspot app does have a toggle widget but I was looking for something from the status bar menu. I actually like the floating bar that LG used to replace the 2nd screen and I would use it if you could put widgets into it (like the hostpot toggle). I think it would be so much more useful if there was a way to put widgets into the floating bar.

Thanks for finding that but can you check to see if it actually is working? I can add the toggle to the notification panel now but it doesn't turn it on or off for me.

It does turn off the Wifi though when I hit the hotspot toggle.

if it doesnt work for u go into the setting to add an app to the quick setting. after doing that select the hotspot app. is another step but is a good solution for a shortcut
it will end up looking like this

I hope someone from this discussion is still paying attention. I can't get this app to work for me. I got the hotspot toggle to be available, but it only turns off Wi-Fi, and doesn't enable my hotspot. I don't get what I'm missing.
Anyone find a way to do this through the adb shell? I tried: settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "hotspot" but no luck.
I have the sprint (unlocked) lg v50 on pie and it also does not have mobile hotspot quick setting.
I have to goto settings>network>tether>hotspot.
So dumb
I also have a us cellular v30+ (unlocked) on pie and it does have hotspot quick setting as it should.
