A quick way to hide it (but you won't have even the name of your carrier on top, only on lock screen and notification panel) is to go:
Settings -> Sound & Notification -> App notifications
In there select "Cell Information" and choose "Block all".
With that you'll hide the antenna icon, although I'm not sure if there could be other notifications from that app.

What is the cell info notification? Is it the constant accessing sim one?

I have the same issue. There is no way to disable the cell information notification. Does anyone know how to hide it?

I'd really like to see this resolved as well. I know what mobile network I'm on, I don't need it permanently displayed as a notification.

What the hell is that?
What does that notification do after tapping it? (or holding and then tapping the "i" icon) ?

The only way to remove that notification is click on force stop but after to restart the device, the notification appears again in status bar. The option to block all notifications is not available as you can see. It's really annoying!

Maybe it's abvious, but try looking for it in the "all apps" and disable it? (Hopefully it won't drop your signal)
EDIT:
If you are on 6.0, look for it in "system apps".
EDIT2:
Gah! Sorry, I see that the disable option is unavaliable.
Anyway, is your phone branded? Or did you install a stock rom?

I've already tried to disable the app but that option also is not available because it's a system app.
" com.sonymobile.cellinformation.notification"

There is no such app on my 6.0.
I'd just try installing stock 6.0 (or 5.1.1 and update)

I think that is just in Latin American version that appears that notification, I had installed MM beta, and didn't appears. The version that I'm using now and see the notification is Customized GEL. 570

Maybe, that is the reason but we are not sure. I only know that Cell information notification is extremely annonying and sony must give us a solution as soon as possible.

It's a matter of software customization. LATAM version does have that (at least the generic one does). And it is annoying as hell. Especially since that notification doesn't really do anything. It's just there. Anyway, EU versions do not have that. Not sure about the US versions. So just go ahead and flash another firmware. That should fix it.
Also, I'm not sure Sony will give us any solution to this, since it's probably intended. But you can always contact the devs at Sony and ask them if they can implement an option to disable that notification in future updates.

The only solution right now is to force-close the app through Settings. The problem is, I can't find any way of doing that through any commands. ADB shell doesn't seem to allow a force-close in the same way it happens through settings - it is just a "kill" that regenerates the app shortly after. Thus I can't seem to figure out how to make it an auto task in something like Tasker with an ADB shell command.
Is there a way we can automatically make a macro action of some kind, of opening settings, scrolling to the appropriate areas, and force-closing the app upon startup? That would be an okay workaround for now.

I guess flashing another stock ROM to permanently get rid of that is too much?

How to remove blocking mode notification in status bar?

I really like the blocking mode built into the os, but is there any way to remove the notification from the status bar when blocking mode is enabled?
Sendt fra Tapatalk
I have same query
I was wondering the same thing , its great but also a bit annoying being in the notification bar
Not that i know of, but it should stay there, you need to know it's on since it disables key functions.
I noticed that, while blocking mode was enabled, whatsapp sounds still go off in the middle of the night.

True, but we don't need to know it's enabled when it's not doing anything. If you set the between time it should disappear when it's not affecting anything.
Looking for a way to get Tasker of NFC Task list to enable and disable it.
Yeah... this notification is pretty annoying...
I hate it too... And just like everything else it shows how samsung can't make 100% good software.... Everything is always "almost good"... There is always something that spoils everything... That's why I can't stay with sammy rom for too long...

when you try to change the sound of notifications in whatsapp, and you select "Default ringtone" it doesn't use the notification ringtone, it uses your call ringtone, it's really annoying, but I think that's why, it's whatapp's fault
really hate this "feature" to notify me about blocking mode not being enabled...
annoying
yeah I agree this thing is completely annoying, it should be in the status bar when on, not when off! Image having a notification all the time that says your alarm is scheduled to go off in 8 hours.

that's the beauty of technology.. nothing is "perfect" otherwise, if everything is perfect on sammy then we wouldn't be in XDA now, would we?
I managed to hack away this notification!
The process is relatively lengthy, and does require a rooted, deodexed ROM... But it works!
The notification will be COMPLETELY removed - it will not show up even when blocking mode IS actually active (i.e. during the active hours).

I'm not sure if that'd work. It might remove the icon from the notification bar (the thin one on top), but likely not the ongoing notification when you drag it down fullscreen.
I'll try tomorrow and post it, but I think I remember seeing all that icons (the quick settings icons too) in system framework...
JFYI, I've put a couple of CWM zips together, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943987
By the way, couldnt find the icons on framework.apk
if you pull down your notification bar and press and hold blocking mode notification you will see app info, click on that and you should see a box about notifications and if you uncheck that the icon and notification will go away.

You can't uncheck this one, it's checked and greyed out (in other words permanent).

[Request] Option to limit Quick Settings toggles

Quick Setting toggles in Paranoid are awesome, I really appreciate how they work.
However, I miss the option from CM to edit the toggles behaviour, intended as which options the toggle can show.
In my specific case, I would like to:
- remove the Device option from GPS toggle and use just Low/High precision
- remove LTE from Mobile Data Switcher, as I have no 4G traffic (I love Italy for this things... and sarcasm) so I can have 2G and 2G/3G (someone maybe prefer 3G only)
If anyone has any other preferences, write them below, I'd apreciate if others have my same thought.
Feature requests belong in the bug tracker
#stayparanoid
Will try to understand JIRA in this case...
also, if we could get an update on that quick notification settings so we can decide if left or right edge of screen shall pull it down.. not just random.
thank you
@Pirateghost I can't register on JIRA; is that normal?

Re: Option to limit Quick Settings toggles
Whenever, I start my phone, all the toggles are there. The other best thing about this I had discovered is in order to remove them, one can simply turn off the toggles via notification switch or just via uninstalling the entire app.

Get notifications on the lock screen

Hello
I'm seeking to get notifications (such as gmail subject, or a new sms) on my lock screen.
So I installed HeadsUp Notification which is said to be compatible with Android 4.2 and lower, and I cannot activate the service in the android options.
I mean, there is a "service" option, I click on it, and I find a screen where there is only a text, and no checkbox or anything
Do you know how to activate the service? Or to get another application that may display my notifications on my lock screen? (even if it replaces my actual lockscreen).
Thanks

I am also looking for a notifications app, see my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma.../looking-notification-app-standalone-t2925247
I will try HeadsUp Notification.

How do you stop annoying Android System notifications

Hi. I keep getting this notification that a launcher I'm using, called Unity Launcher, is displaying over apps. It's actually supposed to do this so I can, while using an app, launch a different app. Very nice for multitasking. Even though I gave the launcher app permission to write over other apps, Android System still continues to warn me about this. Is it possible to disable this notification. Hopefully without root. Thanks!
It doesn't seem like you can...
Following this guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/325193/ho...over-other-apps-notification-on-android-oreo/
Things are missing. You can "disable" it, but it will still show when you pull down the notification bar...
This is actually the default way for me, it doesn't show in the status bar but does show in the notification bar when you pull.
Edit: Try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification
It works.
Just go to "Notification blocking", tap the +, enter "in the background" or, in your case, "displaying over" and hit OK.
The notification is now gone.
Edit 2: watch the ad to unlock full version.

China ROM Notification issues

(new here and to OPPO)
Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?
Edit:just found what Athena supposedly does, removing this fixed it for you?
Edit2:
Crowbar Asdfghjkl said:
According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

Also the messenger that im using (Viber)
It also seem that it learns what app you use the most and kinda know to let notification through..

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]
