Does anyone know how to get rid of notifications you don't want. After I flashed the international ftf I started getting notifications from some app site. I hate getting a notification beep that is usually my email and it is only one of those.

It depends on which app you are referring to...You should be able to go into the "unwanted" app and inside the settings menu it would give you an option about notifications.
Another way is if you don't want any of them to "beep" is turn off the notifications sound in the phone settings

I don't know which app it is. It is just advertisements for a new website to download apps from.
Never saw that when I switched to the international firmware. Did it start doing that before you installed anything else?

Yes it did. I have found out it is from xapush.com. I have no idea where I got it. I haven't installed anything new but I have been deleting any app I am not using trying to get rid of it.
I think I may have solved this. Once I figured out it was xapush.com I did a search on XDA. There is another app called Airpush Detector which can find which apps are using Airpush and a few other similar "advertising" schemes. It turns out it was an app for Olympic information that I download two weeks ago. I just didn't use it until right after I flashed the International firmware.
Hi guys, Im the dev of Root Call Blocker, a powerful blocking solution. There have been a few reports of people experiencing issues with the data connection on the S3, which i dont have.
Could someone please let me know if this is indeed the case?
If you do find an issue please follow this procedure:
- as soon as you spot the radio without a data connection (not after a call) send logs through the "Write to us" item in Settings
- once youve sent the report, try using the Debugging tools found in settings
- if the tools do not help, please send another report - this will still help me track issues
Thanks in advance, PR after the break

I don't use this app, but your other one, Call Master, instead. On it I had to enable the slow radio start (something like that) when I was using anything other than a Samsung rom. I emphasize Samsung here because I don't use Call Master on a Samsung rom since it has its own call reject built in.

Indeed. But Call Master is not just for blocking calls, its for MANAGING CALLS, SMS and MMS. The people who need it understand its value and power.
RCB can be used that way too, to some extent.
I was using this app on this phone and the HTC thunderbolt I had to block my ex girlfriends calls and texts. I would still get texts occasionally and would have calls go through. I'm not trying to bash the app because I liked it over the other few that I used but their interfaces were crap and most didn't even let me have the pick up hangup feature. I stopped using it about 2 weeks ago so I don't know if there have been any updates since then. I know you said people were having trouble on the same but I was also using it with the thunderbolt and having the same issues. If there is a way I can help then by all means let me pm and let me know because I would definitely like to use this app again. I'll reinstall it and see what I can come up with.

What is your order number? There is just no way it could let some calls through and block others because the app completely replaces the telephony service.
The issue you describe occurs on pirated copies.
Lets just check:
- you are not blocking its access to the net via a security app
- you have it set to start on boot
- you have only one profile
As i understand, this problem occurred on a different phone? And it works fine now on the s3?

Been using RCB since my Cappy. Since then i have had it on my 9100, Note, Gnex.
Been working fine on my CM10-Jellybro SGS3 ATT.
Wish for one thing though, would like to be able to long press the number in my call log and have it added to the black list. That's one thing I miss from running stock TW. (The ability to send number to reject )

Not possible im afraid. That sort of thing must be built into the framework. Other apps use a pop-up after every call, but i think thats just crap so itll never happen that way in CM or RCB.

Interesting how on some cm10 builds it works fine, others not.

Fixed issue that lead to intermittent blocking on JB and CM10
Would love to see the block from call log feature described above!
Been using RCB for a couple of months now. It does a great job.
Thanks, however, as I've already said blocking from the call log is impossible.

This is perfect app with fast reject function when I use it with rom Rocket, but now its not work with rom ICS 4, could you place fix it. Tks,
Yeah hi. There's nothing to fix, it works perfectly on any rooted device, any android version after 2.1.

On other android systems I can check on little boxes besides. But for Note 2 I could only touch to sync manually.
Why is the auto-sync always disabled?

I think what should be done is:
-Pull down your notification bar
-Slide the toggle panel all the way to the right
- touch the sync icon to enable or disable sync.

in my Note 2, i went to settings, display, and there is a Notofication panel.
tapped on it, and it displayed all the notification icons that i can enable when i do actually go to the notication screen or not
i dragged the sync icon the display portion of the notification row
closed app
then from the home screen, swiped my finger from top to the bottom of the screen, the sync button is there. In my case it was disabled, enabled and all is working fine
see if you have the same or not
TMobile did an update today. Changed the kernel and baseband versions. I also am missing the sync icon in the pull down menu and my accounts say sync disabled.
I also had that problem yesterday.
I fixed it with inzee suggestion.
I have the Verizon Note2 SCH-I605 and it does not have anyplace to Enable or disable SYNC. I also do not have any Notification settings under DISPLAY.. so I have no idea how to disable much less To Enable Syncs.

Im thinking this might have something to do with the 4.1.2 update. I suspect the ones that posted in this thread and were able to fix the problem did not have the newest update. Can anyone that has the newest 4.1.2 verify they still have the sync icon on the pull down page or either have a Notification Panel in the Display Settings where Icons can be added or removed? I dont.......... Anyone?
Workaround
I could not find a stock solution for the verizon note 2. I ended up adding a beautiful widget for that switch and it worked again.

I've just registered to thank you very much. This was the right answer to the problem:
AFTER updating the Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 from Android 4.1 to 4.1.2 the Sync icon on the top bar disappeared (it was replaced by the "Multi-Window" icon). The Sync icon/tab was there before updating.
I spent many hours trying to find the way to get it back without luck until I did a research on the web (also spending many hours) and then I found your answer, which is correct: you can select which icon will appear on the top bar. I didn't know about that feature. You can even remove some and put others.
It shouldn't depend or be linked to any provider at all, it's part of the Android 4.1.2 O.S. (probably 4.1 too).
So thank you very much once again

It must me a glitch in the ATT update, which doesnt surprise me. They are goofballs.

I didn't know a provider would modify such bascic O.S. options like these.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 was purchased without contract to any provider, and I downloaded the update directly using the Software Update icon in the Apps. (which in fact is a shortcut to Settings ->About this device -> Updates .-Sorry if the English translation is not 100% accurate) It was about 250 MB of download.

Good catch SM.......... so THAT is where they hid it!!
Nice to know but since I thought they had done away with it, I found a neat workaround that I like even better than the original toggle. Its called Widgetsoid.... a real neat app and does many other things
I can't wait to get root. NFL Mobile constantly popping up. EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET A CALL THAT CALLER ID THING COMES UP. Verizon Messenger, etc. WTF. This is ridiculous.
Go to Settings, Application Manager, All and uninstall what you can and if you can't do that, disable.
What is more worrying is all the features they removed.
Aye man be glad you don't have a Galaxy phone lmao, especially S5 & under, those things are filled with bloat from bottom to top and without root are the legit true phone nightmare. S6 improved a bit but not as much as it could've been. Satisfied with my G4 so far, just got it today and not too much bloat, I can live with it.
You can disable most of that stuff right from the application manager section of settings, and you will not see it anymore.
If you want to go hardcore use the debloater tool. I've hidden every app I normal remove with root including concierge.
The G4's bloat is insignificant compared to the Sammy phones man!

That annoying caller id can be semi-taken care of. If you are using an app and a call comes in, you can have it only pop up a much smaller icon that lets you know of an incoming call instead of that humongous annoying full screen caller id. From the home screen, tap the dialer icon. You have to be on 'Dial' or 'Recent', just hit the 3 dots in the top right and select Call settings. Down towards the bottom there is an option "Incoming voice call pop-up" that is unchecked by default. This will give a much smaller pop up that you can use just like the full screen. And if you don't want to see it when a call comes in, you can just swipe it up and the call will eventually go to voice mail. Or you can just hit decline and continue using the app that you were.
Hope this helps some :good:

Did anyone else get the update (today) for Verizons "supports and protection" app. My concern is the "protection" part...it appears to be an antivirus. Fine, with every other scenario, with our possible future exploit...I turned it off/disabled it for piece of mind.

I have disabled protection as well; along with few others. (verizon navigation and visual voice mail)
Huh, I guess I was being dense. Every phone I've had before the disable option was turned off for all the bloat from the get go so you couldn't disable. I just disabled a metric ton of crap on my phone. MUCH better already! Thanks XDA!!!!!!
Yea I use Nova Launcher and drag and drop unwanted Apps to the desktop "App Info", where it goes directly to the option to either Uninstall or Disable. I weeded through all of the App Drawer apps, then dive into the actual Application Manager where I Disabled several there too.
I DO love the Visual VM app, so that is the one thing I like to keep.
For some reason I liked there messaging app better than the LG one.

One (free) alternative to the Visual Voicemail app is Google Voice. You can configure your phone send unanswered calls to your Google voicemail instead of Verizon's. This will automatically transcribe the emails for you. It can be a bit hit or miss, but it's better than nothing! It also lets you play your voicemails individually without having to call in and listen to them all.
www.google.com/voice
DT Ignite
Be sure to disable DT Ignite (uninstall not available). It is used by the cell companies to push apps to your phone without your consent. I was wondering why Cookie Crushers and another app showed up two days after I activated my G4. A Google search turned up an article showing that this app is what does it. At least I was able to uninstall the added bloatware that was installed via DT Ignite.

Yea I used Google Voice and it was nice. It worked enough for me to get a jist of the message but it would be really funny sometimes. I REALLY like Verizon's Visual Voicemail. It is just easy. I like being able to delete multiple messages at once and pick and choose.
@OP, coming from the G2 the Bloatware is about the same. This should be no surprise. I had a Verizon G2 that had official lollipop. I think the apps were exactly the same. I use the same method I used on the G4. I use Nova to drag apps and uninstall what I can and Disable the rest.
There is an actual Debloater Tool, but you have to be careful with it as it lists EVERYTHING. I find it much easier to do it my way. No PC. No Drivers. No risk of removing an important app.

While I do agree verizon should do anything the phone, the extra software they added on isn't 'too' bad once you think of it. I looked at my disabled menu and its about less than 10 apps? It is not as awful as it was on my G2. with a bit of time you can tweek the phone to your liking. Maybe it is Stockholm syndrome but I'm starting to like LG's layout as they have progressed over the past 2 years..I am looking forward to custom roms though
I do not understand why verizon would want anyone to use their messaging app.. all it does is cause confusion and cause people who are unaware they can change default messaging apps to switch to an iphone or something else. I do not understand why they think this is a good thing. the simple stupid solution is always better!
still a bit ticked off that they removed smart settings from our phones (multi user etc). I could honestly live without, but the fact they did it for their personal gain (which actually hurts them) makes zero sense to me.
kinda wished verizon added wireless charging, like the g2... OH well, its a simple enough fix.

Sooo I got the phone last Thursday and am using it on Verizon. I've had a few issues that I figured I'd throw a thread together incase anyone else has the same...
Known Issues that I have:
"GroupMe" application will not update unless I am in the application and clicking on a specific chat. - Worked on every other phone I have and cant even find anything on this subject on google. If someone sends a message in a chat it will not update or notify me. I have to click on the specific chat for it to update. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and cleared the cache. un-optimized it with battery settings, nothing is working.
Fixed Issues that I have:
Phantom vibration. - Almost like a notification is happening but nothing is showing on the screen. Cant figure out this one for the life of me. I even have a notification log downloaded and it just vibrates away with nothing being logged.
Found out it was Verizon Caller ID app. Apparently it keeps crashing and "starting" over and over again. I disabled notifications on it and the vibration went away!
MMS Cannot be received only sent. - I've gone through this extensively with Verizon support. Tried everything on another thread, switched out sim blah blah blah, finally they have opened a ticket with the engineers and will get back to me in 48 hours.
Works now in default app just not android messages......................................
Anyone else having any other issues?
That's disappointing that there are mms issues. MMS on the U11 using anything but the stock messaging app was a complete ****show. I hope you can get more bands than just 13 as well.

Someone on Android Central had Verizon block messaging and then re-add it for everything to work. Maybe worth a shot?
Same here... Unlocked US model. Send but not receive texts...
I've done the same, reset, new SIM, swapped Sims etc.
I'll take a look on AC and see if they have something there for a solution... Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I'm not alone.

I have found that Android messages app doesn't work as you can't select the preferred sim for messages. Having to use stock at the moment.
Somewhere in another thread, there was an adb command I think that set and enforced the default sim slot. Wonder if that would help with your issue, Nestacres? Sorry, I would search myself and link but just checking in on a quick break at work.

Android Messages isn't comiled for usage with Dual-SIM, as Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all Single-SIM devices. If you know how to use adb you cand do the following:
From adb shell run the following command
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
This did the trick on the U11 DUGL as well, and Android Messages could be used and worked just fine. Thanks to @Electronic Punk for pointing that one out to me!

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive.

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.
HTC handle it differently on phone and SMS as they have a button for each sim.

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive. I can pop the SIM and put it in my iPhone x and the texts just role in immediately...I really want to love this phone! Lol

I did everything possible. Even got a new SIM... What seemed to do the trick (and was the last thing I did) was having Verizon block my messages and then unblock them.
Then I could send + receive. Beforehand I could only Send... But beware it does not work with Android Messages.

How did you first activate your phone? If it's not activated properly on Verizon it can fry your SIM card or cause things to not work.
I first swapped my SIM from my U11 and could not make calls but was able to use internet and send and receive text and mms. But just like the U11, I can only receive MMS on the stock apps like HTC messaging and Verizon message+. Cannot receive MMS on third party apps.
But the proper way to activate the U11 and U12+ is to first register your imei with Verizon then you have to transfer your SIM from a Verizon device that has advanced calling/VoLTE in the settings.
The U12+ does not have any Verizon advanced calling or VoLTE setting so if you just pop a new SIM in without first having it activated on a Verizon advanced calling device, it could cause problems and fry your SIM card.
It sucks but that is the best way to activate it.
Manually attached IMEI to SIM, and toggled messages/on/off on my account.
All is well and working for receiving SMS/MMS on stock messages! It worked immediately...
Thanks for the feedback and discussion everyone.

In my case, after updating (purely, after RUU) to v1.21.401.3 I have noticed a few times that after picking up the device and "squeezing" I should wake up, scan my face and unlock my smartphone (I have my preferences set) .
But just the few times after "squeezing" the device does not react at all, there is no vibration.
After the traditional unlocking (applying the finger to the fingerpront or pressing the POWER button) the smartphone wakes up properly.
This happens when the smartphone is not used for a long time (deep sleep?).
But this is not the rule.
I also had ONE total reboot.
On the other hand, the update did not improve in the first few months the best inflections of the volume up button (Vol +). Very often you have to press many times "to surprise", and pressing and holding it to turn up in series - is very difficult to achieve

Is anyone else having issues with the youtube app? Im finding it buggy. To be precise: if I start a video and then turn the phone landscape to go into fullscreen, if I then turn back the phone vertical and come out of fullscreen and then try minimise the still playing video it goes a bit haywire, parts of the screen goes grey and I can't minimise the video. Can any replicate?!

New issue thats bothering THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!
The phone isnt vibrating on incoming calls. I thought I just kept not feeling it or hearing it but nope, the phone literally turns the screen on and it just doesnt vibrate. I don't have battery saver on, and I don't have "Do not disturb" on. Its weird.

Discovered a slight work around since. It doesn't happen if you go in and out of fullscreen using little button in the bottom right. So it only happens with auto rotation.
