Stopping Google voice from handling my texts

I merged my Google voice account with my sprint number, and itstarted handling my text messages. Anyway I can stop that and just use the default app again?

If your mention of "merging" the two together mean you now only have 1 number, then I suppose you wouldn't be able to. Yet, if you still have two separate numbers, then you should be able to.

Go into settings, then manage applications, and find Google voice and choose "clear defaults".

EDIT: ohhh ok, I didn't read correctly, if you merged them follow dougjamals instructions

Yeah its just the one number. I wouldn't mind if it properly imported my contacts. As of now it ignores my Facebook contacts

Do you know where I would find those instructions at by chance?

[Q] Anyway for email to automatically loads pictures?

I'm just wondering if there is any way to get my email to automatically load pictures in the emails instead of having to press the "show pictures" button every time. I was using the galaxy tab email port but when I switched over to cm7 the email app stopped working, all I get is forced closes. It's really an annoyance.

I don't have to hit "show pictures" in the Gingerbread email client. That was the first thing I noticed in the leaks! I use the stock email.client.

K9 mail gives you 3 choices for that. It's set to not show pics on default without clicking, but can be changed to contacts only or all.

Thanks!! K-9 did the trick. Awesome.

Gmail 2.3.5 also has this option, if that helps.

Duplicated Text Recieved

I just jumped from an iPhone to the Galaxy S3. Really loved it until..... I installed GO SMS Pro and started receiving double texts. I reached this extensively on the web and couldn't find any thing that worked so i de-installed it. I then installed Handcent 4.4.3 and low and behold, I get double texts again. I don't get double when i have the native Galaxy text app.
From what i can tell, there may be a way to "turn off" the default text notification but i cant seem to find that anywhere. Surly I am not the only person with problem on the Galaxy. Can anyone help please? Thank you.

open stock messaging app> settings> untick notifications at the bottom

Yep, the info listed above is correct if the problem is that GoSMS Pro and the stock messaging app are both giving notifications. But if one is getting duplicate, the above won't work.

How do I get Google Now to show

Holding the menu key down does bring up the Google search, but going through the settings I don't see anything for Google Now. I don't have Google +. Is this needed? I added a valid gmail accound as well to my phone.

Figured it out. I needed to make the gmail account the primary account. I tried to delete the thread but perhaps it will be helpful to someone else.

I see it in the notification pulldown, but not in the top bar. Wonder if there's a setting for that.

In the google (now) app, there's a Privacy and accounts option in the settings when you hit menu. Click on that and click google account to choose which one to use. It'd be nice if we could use a non gmail account with Google Now. My university (utexas) partners with gmail, so it technically is gmail but without some of the perks like google now.

Thanks for the info, I just checked I don't even have the Google now app icon anywhere, I might have chosen not to use it when I first setup the phone, ... what can I do to get it back?

I you use chrome and search for a landmark, after you find it, say a specific McDonald's, next time you open google now it will present you with navigation to that McDonalds.

Google now is amazing. I arrived at BWI on Sunday and when I turned my phone on, it had directions to the hotel up, restaurants listed near the hotel, and the local weather. It does sometjing similar at home too. Probably one of the nicest upgrades thats functional.

I can, but the icon is still there

Call in to your voice mail on the dialer and delete the voice message. Press 7 while listening to the voice message. Once done then set up your preferred voice mail app. I use Google voice

I had this issue on the Galaxy S3 when I first got it with a phantom voicemail icon that never went away despite not having any voicemails. I solved it by getting someone to leave me another voicemail and then deleting it. Might work for you as well.

After disabling it as suggested before, reboot your phone.

Same thing happened on the s3. Call yourself from a different phone and leave a message then delete it from your phone.

Can't leave myself voicemail because I don't have voicemail activated.
Did try the reboot after disabling voicemail, still there.

You need to activate it and do the above, that's the only way.

Well if it's the visual voicemail notification that you're trying to make go away, then long press it in notification, and go to app info, and uncheck notifications. If it's the regular voicemail icon, I would say do the same, but looks like on stock that's tied to the phone.apk and stock doesn't seem to let you disable the notification. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think you can uncheck notifications on CM. Otherwise, yeah just setup voicemail leave a message, and then delete it.

I've tried the above method with no results? Anyone have any other ideas thanks ahead .
[edit] I've put this in the wrong spot I have an e4gt I would think the fix would be the same but I can't figure out how to delete my post sorry folks

clear phone data
on galaxy s7 edge with android 6.0 if you hold the notification until you get to "App Notification" then click on the "i" icon, once in the application info select storage. finally clear data

Root the phone and remove the app from your system......
