Yellow LED Indicator Light Wont Turn Off - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I cannot figure this out either and it is driving me nuts. I don't see any missed calls, messages, or texts. I have closed out all programs through task manager and the yellow LED still persists. Could this have anything to do with getting rid of the terrible Samsung factory messaging app and replacing it with Go SMS Pro?
Thanks

Have you restarted the phone?

I am unrooted. Am I supposed to be unistalling the factory Samsung messaging app (which I am not sure is even possible) or Go SMS Pro?

I just uninstalled Go SMS Pro restarted the phone and reinstalled Go SMS Pro. Hopefully that fixes it. Why do you believe that sequence fixes the issue?

[Q] Xda app notifications?

Is anyone else having problems with the updated Xda app not pushing notifications to your phone? I was able to get subscribed thread notification alerts before, not they've stopped.. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing app data and cache, etc Any ideas?

Same problem here on HTC Aria! It's throwing me off big time because I rely heavily on them. Uninstall/Reinstall doesn't fix the problem. I was trying to find a way to contact the dev about it, but there is no option in the app itself or in the market. Any suggestions?
Edit: I have found the dev email and notified them of the problem.

[Q] MAPservicesamsung process stopped

On stock ICS with factory reset. This happens randomy a couple of times each day. Never happened on GB.
Same on my friend's phone. Any suggestions?
I had the same issue when I tried sending text messages or opened my inbox. It caused a lag of 10-15 seconds.
It seems to be related with bluetoothmap.apk.
I never use bluetooth, so I wiped the bluetooth appdata and deleted all the bluethoot apps with titanium backup (made a backup first just in case).
This fixed it for me.

Download the package file, Reflash your official rom via odin, not over kies.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure if that will work for borchgrevink.
In my case the problem started to occur because I flashed the original rom with Odin.
For me this issue was caused by restoring data using Titanium backup for SMS. To fix you MUST never restore data this way. Instead use SMS backup and restore app.
Better still install go SMS and uninstall stock SMS app using TB for good!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Well this happened to me when upgrading to ICS without reset, and also after a factory reset.
Never happened on GB. Is it an OS bug or rogue app?

I don't want to root either and I keep getting the same problem. Anyone who has the this should contact Samsung until they fix it, they should treat us better after we buy their expensive phone. The Chief Exec of Samsung Mobile is at [email protected] they'll fix it is a few people email in.
Just emailed [email protected] let's see if they reply back

One thing I miss from my iPhone... Is there an android alternative?

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.
Sent from my A200 using xda premium
Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

Contacts not opening

I have the galaxy S2 but, it's the SCH-R760. What happens is when I tap the contacts app my screen goes black, then pops up the message android process acore has stopped working. My phone is rooted. It's been rooted for a few months now, and this issue just started last week. Anybody have any ideas on the problem, and a fix?

As Skype does request to access your contact list it is proably related to that.
You might have to try setting your contacts as a default.
I noticed in the past that sometimes it would ask me if I wanted to call contacts using Skype or Phone so my assumption is that somthing with the defaults is causing it to check Skype but it is also causing it to crash
So you're guess is the default contact app got changed to skype right? That makes sense. Whenever I dailed out it asked if I wanted to use skype or the dailer. Thanks

This happened to me once. I had no choice but to delete contacts data from settings and then restore from old backups....
Everything was OK then.

Issues with the new Google Hangouts?

So, installed it to use it as my default text messaging application. However, one issue. Before I got it, I always received pictures. However, now I'm not receiving it even through my stock application. Anyone else having issues with MMS?

Sadly it will not allow me to send pictures either. After I try to, it somehow prevents me from even sending SMS until I restart my phone. Maybe I downloaded a bad Hangouts?

The strangest thing, is that even my stock messenger won't even receive MMS. That's why I'm confused if Hangouts did something, it's on Verizon's end, or if it's something else entirely.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, the new Hangout makes it so even the stock messenger doesn't get MMS. So until that's fixed there is no point. Unless you never ever get any MMS.

i cant send mms in hangouts, but i can send it from a different app.
And i can recieve mms(group messages as well as picture messages) in hangouts no problem
I installed it and it was working fine yesterday and now my entire phone can't send any texts. It can receive them but texts fail through any app, from stock, textra, or through hangouts. Help?
I've noticed that a weak signal won't send sms through hangouts but will send via messaging app. Not sure why, but I'm frequently in low signal areas and have to use the default messaging app to send. MMS and SMS seem to work fine with good signal. I'm on the newest release.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here is a suggestion: It used to be that when sending MMS your 4G will turn on automatically. Instead, send something while 4G is on and WiFi is off. It has been working for me.
