[Q] Delete an Alert in Notifications - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Yesterday, I got 2 Severe Alerts in the Notifications area at the top.
I looked at each and deleted them, but the icon remains in Notifications area.
If I pull it down and touch it, it shows a blank white page.
How do I get rid of it?

What rom are you on?

Are you rooted? Have you ever flashed a.New Rom?

No - I've not rooted and have not flashed a rom.

Sounds like you might have an app that has push ads, download air push detector from the play store and see if it comes up with anything.

Ha, I guess I made quite the assumption. Try Triscuit's idea and report back.

Abredt, any luck?

This is something with the SMS app. I always turn them off, my sister has a DINC2 and gets those sometimes.

I did a Shut Down, then on again and it was finally gone from notifications.
I don't usually do a power off, but it was worth a try.
Thanks to all, cb

[Q] Weird Numbering for SMS Texts With Multiple Pages

Hey guys, recently my Epic has started to receive multiple page text messages in a weird way. I'm using GoSMS, but I checked on stock and it's the same way. Anyway, how it's going is that it'll show up at (0001/0002) in front and then the second one will be (0002/0002) BUT the second one will be cut off and come as another text.
Also, if the sender's phone adds on like a (1/2), the (0002/0002) text will be part of the (1/2) text, then send the (2/2) text on two separate texts... if you need clarification on this, just ask. It's getting kinda annoying.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hasseo
Oh yeah, I'm using GoSMS (the latest version) and I'm on SRF 1.2.
This here happened to me recently aswell. And it fixed itself. Lol....

Phone woke me to update, is this official jelly?

So, today at 2am my phone went all crazy with a status for a new software update. But unlike the leak 200mb+ this one is only comes at 94mb. Is this the official jelly from Samsung and tmobile? Here's a screen shot of the package being downloaded.
Update: false alarm, still reads 4.0.4.

Same here. I downloaded it, not thinking that it may hose me, but then I postponed the install, not wanting to potentially lose root and/or custom recovery.

from what Ive read, root is intact but the update replaces the custom recovery with stock recovery. (correct me if Im wrong, but I read this on this forum)
New
Yea I saw the update to, unfortunately I had to titanium stop them due to my ROM
Been reading all day every time you reboot it reverts back to stock recovery.I think there's already a fix but im gonna wait till someone cooks a Rom with new firmware that have the fix baked right in like raisins in oatmeal cookies

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.
Thats it!

I'm unrooted, no custom stock, kernel, anything, and I got this update today.
Still 4.0.4, only differences that I could tell were in the web browser and in the pull-down menu from the top of the screen. There's a brightness slider there now, and the brightness options in the browser are gone.

I tried deleting them using Astro. I got a "file delete error". I assume it is because I do not have root.

You guys know of any solutions? And if not I might have to revert back to the previous version even then I still don't know how to do that.

Try going to settings-motion - and turn OFF smart alert.. That's the setting that makes your device vibrate when missed calls /messages are received to notify you when picking up the device..

[Q] Ongoing Wifi notification

Hey everyone,
I want to get rid of that ongoing WIFI notification, so I tried to follow the steps here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/0...g-wifi-notification-on-the-verizon-galaxy-s3/
However, after rebooting (tried 2-3 times already) it still appears! I double and triple checked the value -- it's set to 0. I don't know what else I can do to get rid of it. Any ideas? I'm rooted with stock recovery, stock ROM.

From reading the article, that looks likes its just a notification reminding you to USE wifi, not informing you that you are connected to "said" wifi. At least that is what I assume you are talking about right?
That just disables the notification alerting you to use wifi, if it was existent.
I hate the icon for nfc in status bar worse then the charging one

Yes this is exactly what I'm talking about. In the notification pulldown, there is a constant notification entry called "Wifi Connected". I'm wanting to get rid of this but I haven't found a way to do that yet
At least, it's not on the T-Mobile version

Is your bluetooth turned on? When I turn mine on it kicks me off wifi and it starts the connecting/disconnecting cycle.
It's also not present on the Telus version in Canada.... maybe when people start creating ROMs, they can sort that out. For what it's worth, Telus's ROM is practically bloat free aside from all the Samsung apps. Zero carrier branding. Pretty impressive.

Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??
Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.

Sign into TMO network?

I ignore it - everything seems to work fine when that's up there..
lte?
The network around my home is still 4g. The city I work in has began the lte roll out. I have noticed that I only see the sign in message when I am in an lte area. When I clickj on the notification, my browser opens and the notification disappears.

Same. I get this every few days on CM 10.2. It appears as a wifi notification, but I've got network notification and scanning turned off. I've got LTE disabled too.
