Hi,

This looks like a notification from an installed app. Try to tap and hold on this notification and press "i". You should see the name of the app and depending on the app, you may be able to block its notification there.

I can see the pictures now, what if you turn on and off > restart the phone.

Discussed in this thread for Z3 5.0 update.

It seems disabling that app will stop it.

hi!

when I upgraded to MM, I did a factory reset ... and icon began to appear. if I turn it off and / or restart, still appears.
in my old z3 also he appeared and disable but do not know how important it can be compared to that icon that allows you to receive SMS, calls, etc.
I'll try this ...

It's the Cell Information app and you can currently only hide that icon by force stopping the Cell Information app. There is no way to block the app from its persistent notification nor removing from status bar.
