Help me with my Galaxy S3 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

My wife and I have Galaxy S3's on Sprint's crappy network. Uptill yesterday in are messaging folder we would have orange and green dots by our names. Orange for when you are off your phone and green when you were on it. As of know there are no dots ay all. Any idea's

The dots where for Gtalk when you where logged into gtalk. It would be represented on the messaging app so if you wanted to chat or video via gtalk. Gtalk was replaced by Hangout which is the new chat/video app for Google.

Here's the thing is we never used Gtalk in the past, so I couldnt tell you if we were ever logged in or not. We have updated to that Google Hangout, I have tried logging into to it to see if I dot was replaced on my wifes phone and its not, so I'm kinda confused....Anybody have any ideas?

No hangout does not have that feature so you will never see them again, unless Google incorporates into hangout or you might see a different thing. Your phone would have automatically logged you into gtalk once you signed on your phone with your google account. If you did not go into gtalk manually and logged off you guys where always logged in.

What odd is my wife had it on Friday for like a few hours and then it dissappeared again, I should say I'm refering to the dot notification. Very bizarre, it was a nuce useful feature

Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

lmao I got one of these a while ago. I got a text bombing app and sent them 1000 texts telling them to f off. havent got another text from them
I just bombed that number for reassurance.

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

[Q] Email not loading any messages.

Would really appreciate some help on this one. Recently factory reset my phone and updated to the uvlde update. I noticed the email app had changed a bit. When i put my account in (an imap account) it wont load any messages. Im beyond positive that i have the right settings. I can send an email to myself even, but it won't show up on my phone. I hit load messages, cog spins for a second then it just stops. I hit load more messages . spins then nothing.... Any ideas? I've tried clearing data and putting the account back inane few times with no luck .

Just went to tmobile store. Tried out my email settings on an htc one... Worked just fine.... Tried them out in another gs2.... Same problem. you press refresh or load more emails... It tries and nothing happens. Im using an imap account. Any ideas? Really need email to be working, but seeing as we get ics june 11 maybe i should wait? Anyone have imap email working on theirs?

I can send emails but when I attach a pic they don't go through. What could it be?

Go into setting then accounts and sync then click on your gmail account and make sure email is syncing or you won't be able to retrieve new emails

Try going to the photo gallery and going to the pic you want to email then at the top there should be a button that let's you email it or press the menu button and email it that usually works for me

Its not gmail imap. Its my school email. Everything is set to sync anyways. Why gmail accoint recieves email fine, its my school imap.

I have seen this both the G2 and the SGSII. The stock email app and some email settings/policies do not play nicely. The work around seems to be download a different email app (such as K9 email) or forward your school mail to your gmail account that is hooked up to your phone.
Other than that, maybe the ICS update will fix it some how or another.
Yea im banking on the ics update... Heres something very interesting: Ive had to replace this phone once already for a different problem. The gs2 i had before this had a slightly different stock email app that worked with my imap fine. Difference was the stock email had settings that allowed me to select peak push times and like days of the week to sync most. This stock email app on this replaced phkne does not have those settings... As well as not having the imap work. Anyone notice that in their settings? That is... The push time options. Super weird that there coukd be two different ones ive encountered on the same phone..

Requires you to login using your Facebook account. Sounds like a great app, but the Facebook requirement is dumb. I'll wait until there are alternate methods to login.

likewise bc i dont use facebook..no account
Sounds cool.
Maybe I can get it set to text my wife every hour the way she likes, take a picture every 15 min (clip sits with camera facing out) and post every 5th one to facebook. Pickup audio and post it to twitter every so often and I'll never have to touch my phone again.
Calls from the boss go to straight to voicemail
Only login with FB account. That's fail.
You can only use it with a Facebook account, and even then you can only set events on a computer, not on the phone. Tasker and llama are much more functional versions of the same thing.

Yah, as others pointed out, a FB only login = FAIL.
At least IMO, as I dont even have a FB account, and I sure as heck dont plan on having one just to use this app..
Hey wait, I wasn't sure. Can you only log in with Facebook? No one has said anything about that.
HA! Well played sir

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.

OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Are you sure you haven't got talkback enabled its different to talk
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
theres an app called chat heads or something like that, that enables facebook like notifications to whatsapp and other programs.
Thats guaranteed to enable talk back even if is off. Check what you installed lately, probably its an app that does the same.
LOL
That's some high tech Note 2 you got there.
Talking to you and stuff. :cyclops:
