it's a verizon thing. they charge like 1.99 a month IIRC for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Akronevan2:
The Verizon variant, along with most of the others, comes with a carrier supplied visual voicemail app that you must opt in to in order to access your voicemails from the app, instead of calling for it. I pay for mine, so I would like very much to get it back on my phone. Any help would make my day!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serinety:
Um... Use Google voice. Superior to Verizon visual voice mail in every way.

Using vzw visual voice mail is like using Verizon navigator instead of google maps...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hitman3984:
have to agree with this. it's also what I use.

So I've spent an entire day searching and studying and finally went ahead with cf root successfully.

Now that my phone status has changed to 'modified' i'm trying to figure out how to use triangle away to sort it out.

Ive downloaded the 2 files from here:

http://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

I've installed the apk (dunno what im meant to do with param.tar), it said it needed an addon from the internet, downloaded and installed it. but it says 'status cannot be determined, we need to reboot into a special bootmode.'

despite my best efforts im unable to find a noob's guide to using triangle away. Some help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Hit the button underneath the bootmode message; your phone will reboot and you can then see your current flash counter. You are also at that point able to press a button to reset it

(FYI, if you ever decide to flash a kernel with Triangle Away support [GalaxSih, Perseus, Siyah, and NEAK come to mind, although there's more that I don't know about] you won't have to reboot)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
Hey thanks for the quick reply.

So i hit the reset button, rebooted and reset the counter. after rebooting the status was showing up as 'scanning' for a while.

I went ahead and did the factory reset with cwm (for practice in case something went wrong and i had to reset it for warranty in the future)

After setting up the phone the status shows up as 'modified'.

What am I doing wrong?

I do apologize for the noobishness but it appears ive been at this for far too long.

[Nexus 7 General] IceColdKila:
So I notice this more and more after someone on these forums mentioned it. But the colors on the Nexus 7 are off. Like Reddit or Google search results Blue links are slightly on the purpleish side. Can they even fix this via a software update ?

That being said its nor horrible to where I need to return it back to the store, but it puts a big down sid eon something I look at all the, now I am always comparing my colors to other Tablets.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
I don't think Google is thinking about it. They are just busy in RMA
[Nexus 7 General] SoHaunted:
As of right now it's unknown, they haven't made any announcements regarding the color calibration issues, but having faith in Google I'm sure they've caught wind of the color problems and hopefully will release an update with a fix.

Wishful thinking.
[Nexus 7 General] SoHaunted:
Someone's butt hurts.
[Nexus 7 General] oldblue910:
I think Google learned from the backlash with the Nexus S that you don't change a device's color calibration in the middle of its lifecycle. Google did that with the Android 2.3.3 update for the Nexus S. 2.3.2 and earlier had nice vibrant colors that really showed off that Super AMOLED display, but the dark grays were a bit purplish at low screen brightness. They released a "fix" in 2.3.3 which completely changed the color temp and the result was washed out colors and a general yellowish color tint which made it look like someone pissed on your screen. This pissed countless people off, and Google has never done anything at all about it. As of Jelly Bean, they're still using the piss yellow color temp on that screen.

Trust me, you don't want Google to fix this.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Lolz, very nicely described. It does looks like piss.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Color on mine looks fine to me - I would not want them to change it.
[Nexus 7 General] angermeans:


I would say no. In fact I wouldn't blame the display problems on software at all. I would blame them more on ASUS hardware. My Prime did a lot of the same thing (although much much worse). They just don't use the best components and being it is a sub $200 tablet I would bet the display isnt all that nice to begin with.
[Nexus 7 General] EdWood110:
Actually,

I had not a single problem for 2 weeks, then I installed games that make use of the Tegra 3 videocard...played 20 min a game and suddenly....gray screen, washed out colors...after 10 min watching a video, suddenly the screen is back to normal and crystal clear.

Since playing those games for a short time, even the screen is gray and bright when I boot...or the battery symbol is popping up when the tab is turned off.

I suspect a hardware problem and something maybe went to hot inside and it is broken now. Also, along with the gray screen, I got ghosting as well. :( Will RMA mine.
[Nexus 7 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Its kinda hard to tell for me.. im so used to AMOLED displays.. like the GS3 and Galaxy Nexus that i own.. also the One X has me spoiled.. but when i look at my two year old HTC LCD display i don't notice too much of a difference between the Nexus 7... but after a video or such i start notice light blues look a bit white.. like the facebook icon.. and the Orange on the headphones of the Google Music icon looks a bit greyish ..
[Nexus 7 General] Semantics:
I have no color issues at all. I wonder if I just got lucky?
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
or you have not noticed it yet :o

Personally I hope that you might have good piece of hardware unlike many of us.
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
There's an issue with the way the stock WebKit handles the display which isn't seen with other apps. I compared Chrome with Perfect Viewer here. So yes, there's a software problem. This might not account for all the variability people are describing, and there might be multiple software issues (see below), but it's certainly an important element.

That's an issue with the PRISM technology in Tegra 3, as discussed here.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
If you didn't notice it until someone pointed it out to you, then it may just be in your head...kind of like a psychosomatic illness.

[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Agreed about mine looking fine
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
I'm willing to bet it's just a bad batch issue, just like the users with the bezel clicking/unsticking and the backlight bleeds... especially after one user on here reported they took their old N7 back and before leaving the store, they fired up the new one to compare the two side by side. At that point they realized just how bad the old N7 screen was and just how sweet the new N7 screen looked.

I personally am quite happy with my unit, and have noticed the same color quality from other Nexus 7's that friends of mine own. In comparison to my newish laptop, it's remarkably similar in terms of color accuracy. That's also just comparing my laptop to it with the naked eye, but still. Food for thought.
[Nexus 7 General] JD914:
I don't know the color on my device seems just fine. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm figuring it's a few rotten apples that have this issue.

Ok so here is a good idea. Lets throw up some screen shots of battery life.

List the rom and any other mods or settings used to get the life you got.

Rom aokp by task&ktoonsez

Mods none

theme gun metal cobalt

Auto brightness on

And I am constantly roaming

30 min tapatalk

20 min YouTube

20 min phone call

30 to 40 text

15 min browsing time

20 min on twitter

20 min Facebook and what ever else I'm forgetting

Major thanks to task650 and ktoonsez for the rom. these guys know what there doing.

And I am not using any apps like juice defender or any tthing else to help with battery life. I'm just using the crap out of my phone. Not once did it even get so much as warm.

Stock ROM with quite a few apps disabled. About 2.5 hours of screen on time. Mostly on wifi but spent about 2 hours roaming while driving through the desert. First day was TERRIBLE - so bad I almost took the phone back. It dropped 40% in about 30 minutes because of all of the running processes but it seems to have squared itself away.

ok, so Ive read the battery tips thread. Ive done all I can to help save battery. Yesterday my phone did not last 11hours that was with 3 hours total usage time. I have a 4300 mah battery. I am trying another one to see if it was bad. I have juice defender free, advanced task killer and use the built in task killer too. Sometimes my phone gets hot but will cool down after I stop using it. I dont use my phone for that long of a period of time. I play words with friends, check craigslists, some email, I have email set to check every 30 min?, send some texts. I had an 18 hour day yesterday, so 11 hours is not good esp on a 4300 mah battery. With my Evo I had the sprint 2500 mah? extended battery. That lasted me all day and I had 50% when I went I went to bed. I had tons of apps installed on that phone. This one Im scared to install any more, as my phone doesnt last as it is.

My original battery didnt last long either. My husband has the same phone and he is using his orig battery. His phone lasts him all day. He will sit and play games on it for hours. I just dont get it.

Download "Longevity Battery Saver Beta" from the play store. It's improved my battery life considerably. It also has a "phone only" mode which you can enable when your battery is low and you aren't near a charger. This mode allows disables everything except phone calls and texts. It also alerts you if an app is using an unusual amount of battery life. I'm also on Clark's FreeGS3 rom, but you don't need to be rooted to use this app.
