Beat me to it. Kind of not well written.
Get AOKP backup to backup all your settings. These roms the window scaling etc is all very customizable and sometimes you forget what option is for waht

Swype on galaxy problem with input method notification?

everytime I use Swype I get a "select input method" notification. I'm running axi0m2.2 and have used two different Swype programs. Both give me the notification at the top everytime I use it. Anyone have that problem or solution?

It's not a problem that's how it is now whenever you have more than one input method.

I never had that problem and have multiple input methods. Once I select Swype it stays that way. I'm running RomannBB's ROM and this version of Swype : https://plus.google.com/108096915458146487046/posts/DTiEnMemga7

Because roman has an option to turn that off. It has nothing to do with what version of swype and it isn't a problem.

Why need a workaround for a feature??

This feature makes no sense. It gives you an icon Everytime you open Swype?

It gives you an option to change your input method no matter what keyboard you are using without long pressing because Google is trying to move away from long presses. It has nothing to do with swype.

I fully understand that, but is there a way to bypass it? From what i understand on certain roms you can, certain roms you can't? I've tried everything i can but it bothers me, everytime i see it i feel i have a text or e-mail. Very annoying.
You could rename, freeze or delete the other keyboard not in use. This will stop the input in status bar because there no other option to choose.
You could do what the Peron above me said, or you have to flash a rom that removes it unfortunately :/ I know Romans rom AOKP has an option to toggle it on or off.

[Q] Hide Contacts?

Hey guys, is there a way via the stock TouchWiz dialer/contacts app to hide contacts that don't have phone numbers? I seem to remember a similar option on my Vibrant, but I'm not finding it.
Ideally, this'll be one of the things "fixed" by flashing CM9 or CM10 when they have stable ROMs released for the phone, but in the meantime I'd appreciate if you guys can help out!
Thanks!
Open contacts - menu - settings - first option is to only show with numbers.

Yeah, that's where I went looking first but I'm a knucklehead. I never noticed that the menu had a scroll bar and never looked past the first page. Thanks!

LED issue

Is anyone else having an issue with this? I already have the Led notifications disabled yet when I get a missed call, text or email the led still lights up. I have unticked the options in settings>led indicator. I am using the stock apps for messaging, email and phone calls. No 3rd party apps.
I thought the issue was with gmail as I read it somewhere on the intertnet. But that doesnt seem to be it. If it was why does it still blink with a misssed call or text.
Anyone else with this issue? I really dont want to do anothsr master reset. I have had to go through four master reset for other issues. I finaly got the phone set up the way I want and dont want to do it all over again.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you turned off smart response? I don't have this problem because I have the service light running but I'm wondering if that might do it. Also they make this stuff, "duct tape," you might try that

Wow. I was hoping a master reset would fix it. Now im not too sure if I even want to try that. I finally have the phone set up the way I want. I would hate to do a reset for nothing.

Having the same exact issue here. Was going to start a thread about it myself.
I have the LED for notifications OFF in the system settings but they still continue to appear. I have tried multiple things to no avail.
I too am just on stock GS3, no rooting.
Would love to find a fix if anyone has found one...
I read here on these forums that your issue was a KNOWN issue and that it'll be worked out
with the next update........ if there's any truth to that, we'll see.

So you're getting flashing blue led for these notifications?
Have you checked yes for notifications in the default apps themselves?

Yes thats correct. If I disable the notification option in the default apps then I wouldnt get a sound or status bar notification when a text or email comes in. All options for the LED lights are disabled in the settings.
Im hoping that this is a bug that will be fixed in a future update. I really dont want to master reset again.
If I were to reset, will my apps be downloaded automatically? All the resets I have done I had to manually look for them and download them again.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Hope we can find a solution for this.

If you reset, you have to go to Play, choose My Apps from phone menu and reinstall. Only updates are (if you so choose) automatic.
As I remember it, with my I747 I had to set notifications to be on in apps and also set LED indicator to display when there was activity. Otherwise, the phone could set there all day and I'd never know there were messages or missed calls.

Questions About Settings

I can't for the life of me find the setting that controls text commands. Where you send a text to your phone like #alarm# and your phone goes off. I found it before but now I can't find it.
Pretty sure you need an app for that..
Sent from my SGH-T999
That sounds like the app "Where's My Droid" If you lose your phone you can text it a special code that you made and it will sound an alarm or it will show you where your phones at on Google maps.

It was in the settings and it disappeared or something after I flashed an upgrade but the feature is this there. Try texting yourself #alarm# and your phone will go off. I didn't have an app. My phone will still respond to the commands but I no longer have a way of changing the settings.
I just tried it and all i got was a text. No alarm went off.

That's so weird. My phone will set off an alarm. I wish I could show you guys. Try #lock#. Make sure you use the # symbol.

There are no built-in text commands. Not on stock ICS, Touchwiz ICS, or Jellybean.

Lol I know, I'm questioning my own sanity at this point. I googled and googled and nothing came up. Our phones can be controlled remotely through Samsung dive. Does anyone have an original firmware S3? I remember the menu looking exactly like the motion settings with toggle switches and about 5 commands.

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.
