Unknown icon - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My friend has an SIII and she seems to have an icon at the top in which she can't get rid of. I have tried restarting the phone and force stopping apps in the Running Applications list and still cannot get rid of it. Can anyone provide a solution? I apologise in advance if this is a noob question.
Cheers,
Oscar

Ok that was definitely a noob question. Turns out it was the notifications being off. Silly me

Voicemail Notification Won't Go Away

I've had this voicemail notification that's been saying I have two voice messages but when I check it says I have none. How do I get rid of it? I feel stupid for asking but it's super annoying. So far I've reset the phone, pulled battery, etc with no luck.

Call your self from another phone and leave a messages. Then use your cell and delete the message. This should reset the counter
Worked great, thank you!

Gentle shutdown app

Hi Folks,
I have a MK802 Android PC dongle on its way. It has no on/off switch so powers up when it is given juice and is shut down by pulling the cable. This is the same as pulling the battery and is a pretty violent way of doing it.
Is there an app available that does a gentle shutdown and allows Android to clean up before it goes?
If not, would someone like to write one?
BTW, apparently the device comes already rooted.
Many thanks.

I could but the MK802 is going to be connected to our main TV and my wife is going to be using it too - do I have to say more?
I just need something quick, easy and idiot/blonde proof.
Thanks!

Quick question

I was wondering if the juice defender app turns off your data when your screen is off?
Thanks

No need to turn data off, just install AOSP Helper if you're rooted and let it fall back to 2G whenever the phone is idle.
That will save your battery while still having you synced and connected.
I don't really know how to root my phone. I am also don't know the answer benefits of doing it.

try starting with the Guide .

Benefits of root is it gives user a deeper level of system access allowing more tasks to be carried out and more useful apps installed . It of course voids warranty unless cleared from phone .

Folders rearranging???

Anyone else having this issue? Icons inside my folder automatically rearranging themselves sporadically?
It has been happening since I got the phone and it is getting REALLY annoying.
