I have straight talk but the phone says metro PC's. How do I get rid of that

If the phone was made for TMO/Metro, you would need to root and find the splash screen.
The cellcos want their branded advertising.

That's why I buy unlocked. I use a TMO SIM and TMO doesn't even appear on the notification bar.

If it's working with Straight Talk, ignore it. Metro was CDMA originally.

Here's who Straight Talk is.

An app called iNotify took care of the problem
