[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HaveAnEpiphany:
I recently upgraded to a 4.4 ROM on my Sprint SGS3. After flashing the new ROM and getting settled in to use it, I was unable to get rid of the annoying Sprint voicemail notification. It said I had 7 voicemails.

I've used Google Voice for my voicemail for several years, so I didn't believe that notification was true. But I decided to disable Google Voice and dial in to the Sprint system just to see if anything had ended up in there. It was empty.

Try as I might, nothing would eliminate the voicemail notification, and there was no way to "swipte it away."

Not finding anything related to the SGS3, I ran a site-wide search and came across this thread for the Nexus 5.

I've been a fan of Ghost Commander for a long time, so I used it instead of FX Explorer, which is what PaulB007 (the author of that thread) used. Ghost Commander has a "Root" mode built in, which was required in order for me to successfully navigate to the folder and file mentioned in that thread.

ROOT is required for this fix. But since it happened to me after flashing a new ROM, presumably that's obvious.

On my device, here's what I did:

Step 1. In Ghost Commander, from the "Home" menu, select "Root mode". If prompted, grant Ghost Commander "superuser" privileges (I did this for only 10 minutes to keep myself from bumping something during another session later).

Step 2. Make sure you've navigated to the root:/# location. Select the /data folder. Inside it, select the /data folder again. Ghost Commander should show your current folder as root:/data/data#

Step 3. Tap the "com.android.phone" folder, then find the "shared_prefs" folder. Find the file named "com.android.phone_preferences.xml" and long-press it. Ghost Commander's context menu that appears has an "edit" button which you can press to make edits to the file. That's what I did. If you want to be extra careful, you could "copy" that file and make yourself a backup, which would probably be wise. What can I say? I like to live on the edge sometimes.

Step 4. This is where what I did differed greatly from what PaulB007 did. The file on my device was fairly long, so rather than replace it's entire contents, I located the line that showed the voice mail count. It read:

<int name="vm_count_key_cdma" value="7" />

Ah ha! The 7 voicemails!

I changed it to read:

<int name="vm_count_key_cdma" value="0" />

Then I hit the menu button on my device, chose "Save" then hit the back button to return to the folder.

I skipped most of the other steps mentioned by PaulB007, but I did follow his 11th step:

That was as far as I needed to go... the notification disappeared after force stopping the phone app. It has not reappeared!!

A big thanks to PaulB007 for posting the fix on his Nexus 5 device.

As an aside, I don't know if it makes any difference, but the ROM I recently flashed is based on Cyanogenmod. Something similar has happened in the past with some other ROMs, but I've always been able to clear the voicemail notification with typical fixes (rebooting, reconfiguring Google Voice, etc.). This time, it obviously called for more extreme measures.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulB007:
Hey man, are the settings sticking for you still? My success with this method seems to be ROM dependent and refuses to stick sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulB007:
Edit: seems the "<string name="vm_number_key_cdma">xxxxxxxxxxx</string>" lone is important for the nexus 5 at least. You'll have to let me know if it made any difference for this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HaveAnEpiphany:
Well... I'm not entirely sure.

Last night I drove out of range of Sprint's network and "hopped" to a roaming network and back. I happened to look at my phone and noticed the same notification: 7 voicemails. So... I checked the file and found that it still showed my edit:

<int name="vm_count_key_cdma" value="0" />

Weird. I was expecting to have to make that change again.

So I killed the phone app, and the notification cleared.

Drove back home... same drill (hopping to roaming and back). No new notification.

So it's too early to tell what's up. I haven't flashed a new ROM or anything (nor do I plan to for a while)... so I'm taking a "wait and see" approach. Would love to hear anything you might learn, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rickshan:
I tried it on CyanFox 4.4 and it didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HaveAnEpiphany:
Looks like this fix isn't working. The notification keeps returning when hopping to Roaming and on reboots. I had thought perhaps it wasn't related to the ROM, but I'm on CyanFox as well. Time to bring it up over there...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
cant seem to get this to work on 4.4.2 ROM Mokee. :(

Try leaving urself a voice mail from another phone. Then go bak and delete it. It should clear everything up.

SGS3 with CM11

I have the same voicemail notification problem with my GS3 running CM11 and I cannot find the com.android.phone folder anywhere even while running a search with ghost commander or ES File Explorer.
[Off-topic] MansonDroid:
Well I didn't see anything like this.. So here it is. I have a question too. I have an idea in my head that I'm not sure how to accomplish. What I want to do is have an htcp (small form factor) mounted to the underside of a coffee table with a touch screen fitted into a slot onto the top. I also want to have the PC push videos/games/etc to either a TV or projector. That is the part I am stuck on. I'm not sure how to push content to a secondary display without it being hooked up to the PC itself. I looked into chromecast but it seems too limited even with it being "rooted". Do any of you guys have an idea on what I could do? Devices and such? Thanks in advance! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TheManii:
Topic in title, I would like to request:

A screenshot of settings -> about device edit: done

A dump of the initial rom

I dont own a z ultra, so I cant provide any steps for how to do the 2nd part.

I assume you would unlock it and (hopefully) the currently existing custom recoveries for the OEM ZU would work on it.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Hi i have a simple question what about games that doesn't suported controller ? Is there a button maping that simulate the the touchscreen and hardware button like JXD device ??
[M.O.J.O. General] MCZ.userSDK:
The controller has a few different modes. There will be GameSmart mode for games that support controllers and for touch screen games, there is Mouse mode. Games like Fruit Ninja are still playable in this mode because you move the left analog to swipe across the screen as your normally would.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Ok ok but for games like ultimate stick ninja or flashout 3d ? you need to touch more than one button so mouse mode won't work.

My question is :1/ Is there a way to emulate a touch screen with the controller ?

2/ if not is the mojo compatible with tincore keymapper or apps like that ?

thanks
[M.O.J.O. General] Mad Catz Rich:
We have been speaking to the developer of tincore keymapper and there may be other options that we introduce in the future. Right now the focus is on enabling gamepad support natively within games. It's not just us that are pushing this either - Google and Nvidia have been part of the general outreach and you're going to see an explosion of new games and updates for older titles over the next 6-12 months that bring controller support on Android to the fore.
[M.O.J.O. General] Dead-neM:
Hi buy my mojo today thanks for your awnser i think i'm gonna root it etc ...

Dear all,

We are glad to inform you that the new version 1.2.1.329 of Phone Profiles has been just released.

With this release ringtone problems reported by a few users are hopefully gone! For these users, ringtones selected from the Phone Profile applet are not replaced by the "Windows Default" sound anymore.

Profile selection from the Today screen has changed a little bit:

Stylus: you need to Tap and Hold on the Today Item in order to display the popup menu.

D-Pad: a quick click on the Today Item immediately displays the selection menu. You can also use Left and Right button to cycle through the available profiles. In this case the selected profile will be activated 1.5" after the last click.

How can i know what bootloader i have (locked or unlocked) ??? Please help !! :confused:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
First, you should have searched for this, it's been covered many times throught the L9 forums. Not trying to be harsh, but XDA really pushes using the search feature, several times, before making a new thread. Anyway...

To answer your question -

Open your dialer app. Enter, 3845#*XXX# - where 'XXX' is your model number, ie; 760, 765, 768, 769. This will activate the devices hidden menu. Scroll down to 'BootLoader Unlock Check' and press it.

[HTC Droid DNA] jaawerth:
Hiya folks, bit of a problem. I never bothered to root or unlock my DNA (it's been getting the job done nicely with a few non-root customizations, and I have other gadgets to tinker away with). This morning I accepted the OTA update from Verizon, and now it's bricked - stuck on the HTC splash screen.

I did a soft reset, cleared the cache partition, and performed a hard reset - no dice. Called Verizon and HTC, no help - I can pretty much do a repair/replacement if I'm still under warranty. I'd really rather avoid going down that path, as I think I'm barely over the warranty (though I can hopefully get them to honor it if I'm within 30 days).

Is there any way I can still flash this back to an older stock, having never unlocked it? I can only get the thing into fastboot mode, and all of the instructions I've found are for when the phone's been bricked after rooting. adb can't seem to talk to it at all, probably because it's in fastboot. Is it safe to attempt using an RUU or some sort of image to flash it using the fastboot utility?

Since it's already bricked, I went ahead and made a go at it using an older RUU, but it quick before even trying, claiming I needed the correct version of the utility. It's possible I did it wrong, though.

Any help would be much obliged! This is what I get for not rooting/learning how to do this stuff earlier...

EDIT: Before this newest update, my phone had the most up-to-date stock ROM. It was fully charged when it performed the OTA.
[HTC Droid DNA] grimmkt:
Exact same thing happened to me last evening...except I'm rooted with S-off.

[HTC Droid DNA] jaawerth:
Aha! Much obliged. I searched for the right RUU and couldn't find it, and completely missed that thread - I was using the wrong search terms. Downloading now - I'll update tonight once I know if it works. Then I'm modifying the crap out of this thing!

Sounds good! let us know!:good:
[HTC Droid DNA] grimmkt:
I can't get the phone to connect in fastboot. I keep getting a "driver failed to load" type error when I plug in the USB...the device is never visible.
[HTC Droid DNA] jaawerth:
Worked like a charm! The download took awhile, but once I had it downloaded it was easy.

For others searching for this issue:

Once you have the RUU, just install Android Development tools (specifically fastboot) and enter

>fastboot oem rebootRUU

>fastboot flash install IMAGEFILE.ZIP

Terminal/command prompt on the computer side told me it was finished but the phone was stuck at the very end of the progress bar. I waited a while few minutes, and when it didn't move I risked doing a

>fastboot reboot

and we were good to go.
[HTC Droid DNA] jaawerth:
Arise, thread!

So! My phone never bricked again, but a few weeks after I performed the RUU with the image linked earlier in this thread, I started to see the problem that early DNA's started to have with it randomly giving a "no SIM card" error. I'd had this issue when I first got the DNA, but at the time I just went through the normal phone replacement process to resolve it. Imagine my surprise when it came back after flashing! It's now reached the point where I will lose calls because of it, and will often have to reboot/toggle airplane mode to get data back, so I finally got annoyed enough to post.

Presumably this problem is because the image I flashed from is the original DNA image with the drivers that cause that SIM issue. So my question is: if I s-off, root, and install a custom ROM, will that take care of it? Or is this particular issue so deep on the driver level that I need to find a more recent RUU?

I also have not yet tried a new SIM - because of the timing of the problem, I'm slow to believe that it's related to the SIM card, but I suppose it isn't impossible.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
The only way I have seen this permanently resolved is to get a new Sim tray from HTC. I got one and my brother did too and I never get Sim card errors like I used to. Just go to their website contact their support and ask for one and they send it out for free no questions asked.
[HTC Droid DNA] jaawerth:
Thanks, may as well give it a try. What's odd is that this problem hadn't happened at all with this sim tray until after I flashed, which really makes it sound like a software issue. Still, worth a shot!
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
It's a known hardware issue in the DNA. When they give you a new Sim tray it's thicker and it holds the Sim card in place better resulting with no more errors.

Still the same.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjKr1z:
You should change to 480, not 420.

Try it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idanbc:
how can I change the camera dpi only?..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjKr1z:
Using Xposed Installer > Download > App Settings

After that, enable the module.

Launch App Settings

Your camera should be fine after that.

So, the question is, after change to 480DPI, is normal right? So I assume not hardware problem, only DPI problem.

Did you manage?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promiseofcake:
I think it would be prudent to have a specific subject related to Spotify for this. I feel that many apps use DPI as the indicator for tablet mode (ex. Gmail) so I'm not sure what Spotify is doing but I am also curious. I will check on my TF201 and report in.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daman09:
My guess is that it looks at the build.prop, don't really want to mess with it, because I probably don't know what I'm doing.

There isn't because neither my phone and tablet got an update on the market when the new features were released.. it was all aready coded in- and i think its just reading the hardware config and enabling features remotely.

I'm using Paranoid Android on my Nexus4. I tried to us PA's Hybrid Settings to set the per app DPI for the Spotify app too 600p, which will force many apps to switch into the tablet layout. However, I did not have any luck getting Spotify to change into tablet mode. I also enabled the Force and Large toggles, which is necessary to force tablet mode for some apps, but didn't have any success with that either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrandser:
My best guess then is that Spotify determines what kind of device you have from the android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, wich provides the device ID.

I have no clue about how these things work, but if the Spotify app is installed on a tablet, the read phone state permission, what happens with it?

LOL. goddaMNit, this thing is really annoying, and also, i have very nice playlists on Spotify so I don't mind the shuffeling :) But still, i'm kinda obsessing abot this thing.

Have you noticed a significant improvement in performance since doing this? I'm really tempted to root, because the sluggishness of this tablet (god I hate admitting this) is becoming increasingly annoying and apparent. I wish we could get rid of it all together.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] spexwood:
I did this about 10 minutes after taking my tablet out of the box, so I really can't compare it now to how it was before. The magazine thing was bugging me right out of the box though.

I don't notice any of this so-called "lag" that everyone complains about. To me, this tablet is super fast and smooth. So either I just don't know what this "lag" is, or what I did actually helped (I froze Knox and a bunch of other stuff, so maybe something did help?).

BTW: I should note too that my previous tablet was a single-core Tegra CPU. After the OS was officially upgraded to Android 4.0.3, REAL lag was a part of everyday use for me (it took about a second to switch between home screens!). So after coming to this quad-core CPU, any lag is most likely not seen by me. Everything seems super fast. So basically, I may not see lag simply due to my experiences with a true laggy tablet.

Sorry I can't be of much help.
