[Q] Data Roaming notification is annoying; can I disable it? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Whenever my phone switches to roaming on V I get this notification that my data connectivity was lost, even if I'm connected to WiFi. When I return to Sprint the message persists, i.e. it doesn't go away until I clear it.
Q: Can I disable this message somehow? It's friggin' annoying to have that little triangle in my notification area every 10 minutes (I don't get Sprint signal in my office, there is a V tower on the building literally next door).

I was trying to figure this out myself. I don't see anywhere in settings for us to turn it off though.

I also find this notification annoying.
And searched without any luck.

I too would be interested in learning how to disable this annoying 'feature'.
Thanks

Random Roaming/No Service

I just rooted and unlocked both my phone and my girlfriends. I did exactly the same procedure for both. Then I flashed viperROM 1.2.1 and runandhide's button remaps. It's also worth knowing that the phones are sitting side by side. Both have the latest PRLs and did a profile update on mine as well, also tried to completely deactivate and reactivate.
Now that the background info is out of the way, here is my issue:
Randomly (I tried to find a pattern, none emerged) my phone will go into roaming and the network operator will switch to "31000". Except it isn't roaming, the phone does not work at all, I can't place a call or use data (I do have data/voice enabled under roaming guards). The strange thing about this is that my girlfriends phone which is literally right next to mine has full bars. The issue lasts for about 1-10 seconds and then it's back on the Sprint network.
Here is a screenshot of when it happens:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What could be the cause? Faulty phone? I'm flashing back to stock to monitor if it happens there, I will update. Does anyone have any insight? Should I replace my phone?
Try disabling LTE and Roaming
I was having the same problem. I tried updating PRL, etc without effect. Finally went into "Settings" > "Mobile network settings". I disabled LTE ("Network Mode" > "CDMA only") and Roaming ("Roaming" > "Sprint only"). I haven't had any problems since. I'm wondering if it was a fluke and the problem will return. Hopefully someone else can verify/reproduce this solution, since this appears to be a huge issue.
Thanks for posting
I have experienced similar problems...I will try to adjust roaming settings.
I have noticed my phone will go into roam for no reason.
My phone is not unlocked and not rooted.

[Q] Samsung Dive

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

M8S - Massive data downloads from Google Play Services (XPOST from the HTC sub-forum)

Hi guys,
I hope someone here can help me figure out a solution to this problem. It seems that every time I switch on my data (4G, 3G, etc.) Google Play Services suddenly kicks into overdrive and downloads an insane amount of data for no reason that I can figure out.
My first indication this was happening was when my mobile operator turned off my data a few days after getting the phone because I had already hit my monthly limit (3GB)! I switched off my data until my new bill arrived and when I turned it back on again on the 14th of this month, it started happening again. I went into settings and selected "restrict background data" and this stopped it, but my phone wasn't working as I expected it, as I'm sure you can imagine. Over the previous weekend, I was staying at a B&B. I turned on data for an hour and unselected "restrict background data" so I could use the phone like normal. I left the phone down for that hour doing nothing before I remembered I left data on (the horror!) and discovered it downloaded a further 300-odd MB's in that time.
I've attached some screens for you to look at. This is a new phone, but this behavior is totally alien to me. Can anyone help?

RESOLVED:
Called HTC Support and they were as surprised as anyone would be. They reluctantly decided that the best, even though the most primative, form of action here would be Factory Reset.
It worked, so I'm glad I have my phone working as it should now.

Speakerphone-like always on status bar

Hello everyone. I have a problem that started a couple days ago.
On the status bar it s an icon that looks like speakerphone is on, and it s there always.
I searched a bit, but I do not have the "speakerphone issue, meaning that when I answer a call, all goes normally. Also when I activate the speakerphone during in call , 2 icons appear and they are slightly different.
The only way it goes away it's when I enter the call settings, but it reappeares seconds later.
Here are some screenshots.

Looks like you have WiFi calling enabled, disable Wifi and tell me does it disappear? Its weird as you don't have all the WiFi calling symbols.

I disabled and enabled wifi and rebooted the phone a couple of times with no luck
It just does not go away? How can I disable the wifi call?

Charge Indication screen keeps showing up on lock screen while charging.

Hey guys,
I've got the S6 Edge and have recently noticed that occasionally a screen pops up indicating the charge status on the lock screen when I'm charging my phone. On the screen, it has a round and green charge meter. Under that it says which type of charge it currently is doing: speed, continuous, or trickle. Then there seems to be a big ad for installing Samung +. I had previously never seen it before. To my knowledge, I've never changed settings that would enable it. I'm currently trying to disable it, but I don't see the option to do so. Could it be associated with a specific app? Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I've got two screenshots of the indicator I'm talking about, but the system won't allow me to attach them until I have 10 posts.)
(I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I tried using the search function and was presented with mostly Quick Charge issues. If so, send me to that thread and I'll delete this one.)

My wife's phone (Moto G 2015) is having the same issue. No idea what it is and we've uninstalled a ton of aps already.
This started happening to me today and I've figured out from another forum that it's because I had a Go app installed. I had Go Weather installed which I've used for years because I like the widget. Unfortunately it gives no indication that it will alter the lock screen and there's no option to turn it off which I find unacceptable so I've had to uninstall it now.
