Voicemail Indicator stuck

Wiped phone and used ODIN to flash stock ICS and have the standard voicemail indicator that won't go away. I was using GVoice before and have it running again and nothing I do get rid of the indicator. Anyone else?

Have someone leave you a new voicemail, then delete it. This will clear the notification...

Call your self from another phone and leave a voice mail and then delete it. Should fix the little problem

Also after you delete don't hang up immediately. Let it get back to the main menu. Fixed it for me when I had same problem.

I did that before and it didn't do it. Maybe now that GVoice is back on I switch it then switching back? Hmmm.
Edit:
Nope. No dice. My phone is always on GVoice. Does not switch over. I also don't get any settings options for either from voicemail carrier select. Grayed out for both.

Can you disable g voice? Also holding down 1 on keypad should let you call your voicemail and let you listen/delete it

I am starting to think that I cannot. I had switched off of GVoice and voicemail still went through it. And like I said I am not getting the option for settings in either...

Go to the g voice app and sign out. Have you tried that?
Sent from Samsung Galaxy SIV
No option for signing out. My voicemail go through GVoice and I check them through GVoice. Which is fine. Minus the default notification.

Got it. Called voicemail and sent a message to myself directly from there. Then deleted it and the indicator went away.

If you login into google voice through the webpage, you can disable it for your phone number. Then it will revert to TMobile.

[EDIT] Never mind. Fixed.
Carry on.

Blinking eye?

Anyone seen the blinking eye at the top of the phone? I'm not quite sure what it is. Ideas? It only pops up from time to time....
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
its called smart stay. its looking for your face and wont turn the screen off if it detects your face.
I used to wonder what that was on my galaxy s3 and was still wondering what that was on my Note 2..
Swyped by Me & My GN2
It detects if your eyes are looking at the screen...you can disable it under settings > motion > smart stay

Tmobile S3 question

I have a sprint S3, my buddy just got a s3 and is on Tmobile while showing him some stuff on his phone I noticed they have a setting for wifi calling in there settings.. It allows him to use his data connection to receive and make calls when he has low cellular signal. I can't find this anywhere on the sprint version. This would be extremely helpful at work when I have no signal.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
That is only natively available on T-mobile phones. I wish it was available for us too, that would be cool.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Would it be possible to port it? Or is there an app that would do the same thing?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I've never done it, but there's a way to do it with a combination of Google Voice and a VOIP app.
As far as porting it, I'm not a device so I wouldn't know. I think it has more to do with how t-mobile handles it rather than something that's actually on the phone.

I actually do have Google voice integrated what voip app would I need?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Only app I know of that would be useful here is groove ip. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snrblabs.grooveip&hl=en
Ok if i have the sprint integration of Google voice on my phone? and i download Groove i should be able to use my cell number over wifi?
*on a side note what is the advantages of google voice with sprint integration?
I feel like I saw that feature on ICS and then it went away in JB.

Force roamimg without roam control

Is this possible? Could it be as simple as editing some strings in your folders. Just wondering because if there is a better way without buying roam control I'd try it. Also, wish the sprint diagnostics app had that included :/
Thanks

Are you talking about data roaming? As in settings>more>roaming>tick the box?
I want to force roaming. Not just enable roaming.

Jay-Z's Magna Carta

Just curious, who here installed the app from the PlayStore?
Do we get the copy on original release date or do we get early tracks?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Well the application should give you the album. But it will be available on the Internet eventually

Does anyone know a way that we can extract the downloaded content? Reason I'm asking is because I want to hear it from Poweramp as I have preset EQs in there.

How did you even get it to work? Mine just stays stuck at the opening screen and nothing happens. It used to have a bunch of demos and stuff. Now, nothing.

Would love to know how to extract the tunes as well
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
This app is another representation on how the man will control you. This app does nothing but harvest your data, sell it to the appropriate entities and not allow you to play how you want. The music industry is trying to pull a quick one on you. Extract the APK if you dont believe me. I personally will stick to other ways to get my music free
We did just get a whole album for free.......right?

Just wait foe the boot screen to finish. It is a poorly-built app.

I see you saying this, but what data does it harvest. What are you seeing in the decompile app that proves this? I don't even have the app in just curious why your making these claims and very broad claims too.

It doesnt even take that level of investigation. It's just common sense
THIS APPLICATION HAS ACCESS TO THE FOLLOWING:
YOUR LOCATION
APPROXIMATE LOCATION (NETWORK-BASED)
Allows the app to get your approximate location. This location is derived by location services using network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine approximately where you are.
PRECISE LOCATION (GPS AND NETWORK-BASED)
Allows the app to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL NETWORK ACCESS
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call.
STORAGE
MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR USB STORAGE
Allows the app to write to the USB storage.
YOUR APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RETRIEVE RUNNING APPS
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. This may allow the app to discover information about which applications are used on the device.

Why would an application intended to come to "Samsung Galaxy* fans first " need this much info?
