I love 2.1 compared to 1.6 but two quirks I have that are bothering me are:
1. The headphones sound really distorted. When I watch videos I can hear the background noise but noone talking and lots of distortion. I tried the stock headphones along with 2 other pair that do not have mic's.
2. When I get a sms I get 2 notification sounds and 2 messages in my status bar. So I went into the options of the standard messaging program and turned notifications off. This would be fine but the notification will stay there until I clear it because its not the notification for the standard message app. I searched high and low and cannot find out what is sending this 2nd message.
Note: I don't have any third party messaging apps on the phone. The two icons that pop up is a new smaller icon for the message app in 2.1 which disappears when I turn notifications off. The icon that will not disappear and which I can't disable is the old icon from 1.6's standard message app.
Does anyone have any similar problems or have any suggestions? Thanks!

I've selected a certain sms notification sound through messaging but when i recieve a text message it plays the default notification sound. i've also noticed when i go into the messaging settings and try to change the sound it jumps from default notification to whatever sound i selected on its own. any help would be great
now it seems that my phone picks which sounds to play. its only in messaging though
there seems to be similar issues that other people and myself seem to be having with email notification

Hi,
I've had my SGS3 for a few weeks now and I've noticed one issue that keeps happening. When I receive a new SMS I either don't get a notification OR it show up late. If I open the messaging app, I'll often find that there are new messages in there but I won't have had a notification either on the top bar, on the homescreen icon/widget or on the lockscreen.
Is this common and are there any known fixes? I've compared my messaging settings to those of a colleague at work who also has an SGS3 and they're exactly the same.
For now I've switched the Handcent SMS which covers most of the problem but it means I still don't get a notification on the lockscreen when I receive a new message.
My handset is a UK model, software build number IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8
Thanks,

Hi all,
A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.
First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?
Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
no one?
Hi guys, I have two small things bothering me in an otherwise incredible experience up until now:
I have root access if it helps.
1- Whenever I am playing music through my headphones or loudspeaker and a notification comes in, the music stops so the notification can play and then the music resumes. It's incredibly irritating. I know there's a fix by putting the phone in vibrate mode, but I'd rather not do that. Is there any way to override this?
2- Whenever a notification comes in, the headup notification bar comes up. But whenever that happens, the notification vanishes from the notification dropdown itself. It's annoying because when I have "5 new messages from 3 contacts" on WhatsApp I have to wait for the headup notification to timeout and for it to go back into the dropdown. If I swipe sideways or up on the headup notification it disappears altogether (wont be back in the dropdown).
Hopefully those can be fixed. Thank you in advance!
1. No visible notifications on Notif. bar for any new messages, Whatsapp, Mails etc. All these can be seen only in drop down notifications. How to get them on top of Notif. bar. SIM Status, Net Speed, Clock, Battery is only showing in top. Not New Notifications.
2. How to Enable auto call attend when connected in headset or bluetooth. Couldn't find an option.?
Please Help.
