It's annoying the cell broadcast notification in status bar on my device.

I try to disable the notification but the option is not available for this App in Android 6.0(before updating to marshmallow, I could disable it)

Anyone know how to block it without root access?

Is it a common issue?

Thanks in advance!

there might be third party apps to do so, but you can't disable it

Hi,

Previously, I posted a message with this issue. After I install Android 6.0 update, appeared a notification with my operator's name(service provider) in status bar and it's impossible to remove this notification. I've searched about this notification, apparently it comes from an app called Cell information. Also, i can see an antenna icon on above left corner.

Does someone know about this notification and if I repair the software using Xperia Companion can solve my issue?

Hi @Franklinfg2,

Welcome to the community.

If you tap and hold on the notification, then tap on the 'i', are you able to disable the notification?

@CameronT

Yes, I did it but the option to disable the notification is not available. I think this option doesn't appear because it's a system app

@Franklinfg2,

It seems like it is something from your networks customisations of the update. I doubt a software repair will remove this. You may wish to contact your carrier and check with them.

Sorry, I can´t access to my other account and I had to register this new one. These are some screenshots to show you what I'm talking about. It´s annoying can not disable it. "com.sonymobile.cell broadcast.notification" or "Cell information" is the app name.

That notification doesn't come from an operator or carrier service. It´s a Sony App and I need help to avoid this continue appearing in the status bar.

I've searched about that icon but I've not found any information.

Other people also have the same inconvenience. There is no way to hide that annoying notification with carrier name in status bar. In lollipop we can disable it but after to install Marshmallow, we can not anymore

No one from sony can help us? Please look at this thread from XDA developers forum. I'm not the only with that inconvenience and we want a definitive solution.

Or, will I need to sell my phone because sony doesn't provide a solution to improve the user experience?
