[Question] Removing EDGE/3G/H+ Icon

[andyr12345]

Hello - Anyone have a solution to remove the EDGE/3G/H+ Icon next to the Bar Signal on these China Sourced phones? - on the likes of well known brands as Samsung , Huawei, Sony etc when you have wifi connection established the Mobile data Icon extinguishes and then when you turn off wifi and the phone is on Mobile data then the E/3g/H+ signal shows. But on these China phones (well 2 now I have had, different makes) the E/3G/H+ sign always shows next to the signal bars, even if I have turned 'Mobile Data' to off and are on wifi. The Android version is 5.1

The Phone I have is an UMI ROME X and a previous one i had was a Doogee - both these phones act the same, the E/3G/H+ always seem to show the letter next to the signal bars - my other Phone an Huawei GX8 doesnt show the symbol when I am on wifi or have the Mobile Data off. - why do these china phones work this way?

Thanks for any advice.

Some are like that. Not all.

If you don't see something in network settings, you might be able to get rid of it with Xposed if you're rooted...
