Smart Alert?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So one of the big things mentioned pre S3 release was this smart alert feature, where your phone will vibrate after you pick it up if you've got any missed calls etc. I thought that might be pretty useful so I switched it on but I've never got an alert.
Just now I had a missed call and 2 sms arrived and when I picked my phone up ... nada
Anyone got this feature working? I've checked the obvious (as in yes it's switched on in settings) but can't see any other type of config for it.
Cheers

Setting, motion, smart alert switch in that menu

How do you Terminate Voicemail Notification?

Guys, this is really annoying me so any chance of a little help please...
Today I received a notification of new 'Voicemail'.
I didn't know the number (hate it when this happens as there is a charge every time you listen to the message).
As it happens the message wasn't for me but I was still charged to listen to it.
Anyway, if that is not enough what is annoying is the voicemail notification simply will not go away from the top bar.
Every time I reboot the phone it first starts to play out loud the voicemail notification and the only way to terminate it is to pull down the notification bar.
Thing is what's further annoying is no matter what I do I can not remove the voicemail icon and notification from the top bar.
When I click to listen to the voicemail it simply tells me I don't have any outstanding voicemail so I then hang up but the notification will not go away.
I have been to the T-Mobile web site obviously there is nothing there and on the phone I have dialled 150 Option 4, 1, 1 which is meant to stop voicemail (I think).
Help please..... It is driving me crazy.
I also want to know
It drives me crazy
I am with fido and I have a voicemail notification and it does not want to go away
I erased the phone 2-3 times, I left a message in my voicemail and then I deleted
no matter what I do the notification is there.
I tried the same with my nexus one and atrix but I dont have any notification.
It seems to be the phone itself
Just a long shot, but have you got a txt message that relates to having a voice mail, if so try deleting?

Well, in a weird sort of way I am pleased I am not the only one who is having this issue (apologies prince_72). It shows the problem is not isolated to either my phone or some form of settings.
In answer to morg01 ~ no... as a protection to my profession once I have received and actioned any text messages they are deleted. So it can not be a previous message that is the cause.
If the blessed thing has not disappeared come Monday I will speak with T-Mobile to ask if they have an answer.
However, I think they will most probably point me either to here or here but all these do is terminate voicemail, not handle notification.
I'm hoping it is something as simple as their system that is reactivating the notification despite the fact the last one I received I deleted.
We'll see.
I had this issue along with the com.android.phone crashing issue and they just switched my phone out in the shop. It might be time for a replacement?

Time for a replacement! That's a bit harsh.
In all other manner the phone works absolutely perfectly.
I have the issue too, I don't have carrier vm set up (i use g voice) but I forgot to set up voice after doing a wipe and got a vm. It asks me for a password that doesn't exist and wont let me delete the notification.
I dont think a replacement is a solution.
This is a software problem and I think the problem has to do with the software
implementation of the voicemail implementation.
If I put my Fido sim card to my Nexus one or Motorola Atrix I dont get the voicemail notification.
Also just to reply to morg01 I do get text messages along with the voicemail notification at the status bard but I delete the text messages I receive.
The problem is how to remove the voicemail notification.
I have a feeling that the Baseband implementation is wrong.
I got the phone from Europe and I dont think it supports the special features from Fido.
Just to mention that I dont have Name Display as well.
I would have to wait for the Canadian version to appear and to flash the modem
but until I wait that I will be really happy to remove that stupid ugly notification
I've been using Google Voice for the last 6 months. It's not always perfect, but you can read a transcript of your mail. And it's free and reversable.

Finally I fixed the notification problem
My carrier (FIDO) has two voicemail systems. One is for Iphone with the visual voicemail and the second is the reset of phones.
I used to have the second. It seems Galaxy S II does not really work ok with the more standard. The CSR switched me over to the visual voicemail and now everything works ok.

Haptic Feedback vibrate issue and Go SMS pro Issue

2 Issues Ive seen with the evo LTE so far
My haptic feedback vibration seems to rattle the phone. Its normal on phone calls and SMS receives, but it feels loose during haptic feedback. Anyone else's liek this?
Second issue is with Go SMS Pro. I keep getting text messages where Im receiving a message from "matt" but in my go sms inbox it shows "sue" as the name. If i watch the notification bar while the message is received it is correct, but its mixing them up with the wrong contacts in the inbox. Anyone else see this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but its still doing it. I did notice if i task kill Go SMS, then restart, the messages revert to their proper names, but it starts doing it again.

i have the haptic feedback issue as well. When texting, i initially thought that sound feedback was on, but it was the vibration motor clicking for some reason.
I hope its not a big deal..gonna be annoying in class

1 - Same here, I didn't notice it yesterday but the more I use the phone the more vibration it has. It's funny that this was posted, i was just thinking if the phone is going to vibrate apart.
what about the go sms issue?
I thought I was the only one. I noticed the vibration issue too, I had this problem with my OG EVO and I tried to take it in to Sprint but it was too loud in the store for them to hear it. Anyone know how we can deal with this?

My vibration is also very loud had to turn it off for all notifications and all haptic feedback, now I noticed I have a have a dead pixel on the very top of my screen to, anything else wanna go wrong?
I think I'm having the vibration issue as well. Has anyone's gotten worse since first noticing the issue?
When it comes to Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.3, the problem is that GoSMS uses vibration settings from "vibrate on screen tap"
Solution:
- System settings>Sound>Vibration intensity> and set "vibrate on screen tap" as you like.
- If intense vibration on screen tap bothers you, you can completely disable it at the bottom of the sound section (..>Sound); just uncheck "Vibrate on screen tap".
I use a Perfect Keyboard which allows you to adjust the vibration level for the keys (along with many other customizations.) As far as GoSMS, I used it for a year up until last week and switched to Chomp. I didn't have issues as you describe with Go, but whenever I would send an MMS, it would repeatedly show up as a draft that I would have to remove over and over. I also grew tired of the bloatware with Go and constantly being signed into GoChat, which would screw up my texting. Their themes are loaded with airpush as well and now they are charging for features that were once free, such as contact pictures, private box and backup. Chomp is a much cleaner experience with all the features I need, including Facebook contact pics, without the garbage of Go.

smart call does not work correct

for me this option and function isnt so important, but i tried to use it. when i have a sms open from one contact and i put the galaxy to mz ear, the galaxy begins to dial, but not the contact from the sms, it dials an other contact.
anybody the same problem?
Not that I've used thus much, just a few times. But the first time I tried it it did ring the wing person. But the few times since it has worked.

Unfortunately the new motion options are still immature! Direct call, double tap and the smart stay don't work most of the time, i hope they get it fixed in their next update!

Missed call notification bug on Dual SIM S9+

On my dual SIM s9+ I seem to be experiencing a weird bug with missed call notifications. Quite often no notification are shown for not answered calls. I only realize that there was a missed call when I open the phone app.
I was not able to identify any clear pattern that leads to a bug but close to 50% of missed calls on my device do not result in a notification in the status bar and the on the always on display.
Anyone experiencing the same bug? Is there any workaround?
Same here. Unbranded DualSim S9+, ATO
Workaround:

This notification is not deleted.

Yes
Yes. I have also been facing the same issue since I bought this phone. I can barely get missed call notification...
Okay – I switched the Caller ID and spam protection to ‘off’ after reading about this on another forum and all is goos now. Tested with it ‘off’ and badge and notification shows....toggled it to ‘on’ and tested and it shat itself....must be a bug

Can you please share a link to the other forum where the issue is being discussed?
Thanks for the tip. I will test switching the caller id and spam protection off.
Same here. Someone did understand if it's a permanent bug or can be solved somehow
I had this exact problem, go into caller id and spam setting then select the 3 dots at the top and select stop using the service, it will then prompt you that it will delete all saved data select ok. Then switch it back on and it now works. So far this fix has worked all day. Let me know if this works for you and if it stops working ?
I tried all the remedy in this thread but still no luck, I got sake problem. No missed call notifications in my lock screen, or in small notifications bar at top after I unlocked phone.
same problem since the launch on March 9 .... scandalous and the last update of Friday does not solve the problem ...
No info? impossible to inform Samsung?
Thank you
I chat with super guys from Sammobile, he opened a poll and contact Samsung, vote on the site Sammobile history that Samsung sees that there are people who have this problem ...

Nico.
I had the same thing. Called Verizon and they talked me through it. The option is hidden so deep I don't know how anybody would find it. Go to settings, notifications, advanced, then menu button at top right to show system apps. Mine had 3 Phone options, select the second one and there's an option to turn on missed call notifications. Vzw had me change the importance to Urgent.

Issues receiving calls and text

I haven been noticing that I been missing a lot of calls and getting delayed text messages once in a while I am currently running on the t-mobile network here in the US. I have a one plus 6t as well and I tested it and I receive my calls with no one mention that my phone has went to voicemail. I have even performed a hard rest to see if maybe it was an app or a setting and still continues. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Call log shows no missed calls and asked several people to text me with the time they sent out the text and it's delayed at times for over 30 minutes thanks in advance
I've had an issue similar, no one could call me until I call them first, Just went straight to voicemail everytime someone tried to call me.. I think it has something to do with the Wi-Fi switch because I turned off the Wi-Fi and turned it back on and it corrected itself. I could still receive msgs but where delayed until then.

Hi mate,
I had similar issues (at least with delayed text's) when locked. It was a battery saving issue, just make the Messages always run without power-saving option enabled.
Had issues with calls when Call over WiFi was enabled (enabled by default), disabled it and now works flawless (even with VoLTE).
Yea, been having this issue since I replaced my S9+ with the Mate 20 Pro.
My MintMobile SIM registers as T-mobile on the Mate 20 Pro. Most of the calls I don't receive and my wife says it goes to voice mail after first ring.
Where in the settings I can make adjustments to help eliminate this issue? Thanks!

I'm having the same issue on MintSim in the US. Messages seem fine but sometimes calls seem to go straight to voicemail. There is no calls over wifi setting on my phone as far as I can tell (and no volte) so I would be interested if there is a fix for this as well. I never had the issue with my P20 Pro but it's happened several times with the Mate 20 Pro.
I'm tempted to manually input the MintSim APN settings but since the signal is very strong with the default T-Mobile settings I'm not sure how that could help.
I'm using the MintMobile Ultra APN settings. If I default to the T mobile settings, mms don't work.

This only happens to T-Mobile and most likely related to WIFI calling, incoming calls goes to voicemail right away for me sometimes (both Note 8 and Mate 20 pro), but my wife on AT&T never had this issue

Strange. With the default T-Mobile settings mms works for me and my signal app shows a stronger signal than with the Ultra settings.
Which signal app are you referring to? For me, I usually have to turn wifi off for mms to come in or sent out. It doesn't work when the wifi is On, with either the T-mobile or Ultra APNs.

Hi everyone,
Did anyone find a solution to the problem? I still have an issue with text messages and calls. I'm wondering if I should get a new phone....
Actually I just found one. I believe it has to do with Wi-Fi calling being on. Normally this option is supposed to be usable under settings and mobile networks, but since I'm using T-mobile I find the option completely off the phone or so it seems. I downloaded quick shortcut maker from the Google play store. Once opened I just typed in the top search bar Wi-Fi. From there you'll see 3 icons, a phone, settings, and wifi. Select the settings icon, scroll all the way down. Now you should see 2 entries that read Wi-Fi Calling, select the first one, the click on the middle button that says try. Wifi calling should be enabled, just switch it off and that should be it. Attached some screen shots of the process so it shouldn't be difficult. I was going crazy when people said they tried calling so many times but not one I receive or messages that are delayed for up to 30 minutes. I hope this solution helps anyone in this situation
Wi-Fi calling on my Mate 20 Pro is grayed out. So that cannot be the case for me.
Yea, my wife gets very upset when she calls me. Out of 10 calls, just one will come through. She will leave a voice mail, and hours later I will get the notification.
Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk
You selected the first one? When trying the second wifi calling option in shortcut maker the wifi calling was greyed out and the slider didn't work at all
Same issue
I've been fighting with my Mate 20 Pro since the day I got it. I'm on T Mobile. Some calls go to voicemail, some calls make it through. It's hit and miss. I haven't been able to find a common denominator. There's also a cellular data issue with the phone. When streaming video, the connection will suddenly drop out. The phone shows good signal, but it loses data. Turning the cellular data off and back on again fixes this issue. I think the data issue may still be related to the Visual Voicemail issue that T Mobile has with these phones. I was able to get Visual Voicemail to work (mostly) but I think the data is still affected by the Visual Voicemail issue , albeit to a much lesser extent than then it was before. I've been in contact with T Mobile and they have no solution to this issue. They did a sim card swap for me, but the issue persists.
Same sort of problem here. I'm on a KPN business contract, have been for many years. Never a call problem with the mate 9 and 10 but if people call me on the m20pro they don't hear the dial tone so they usually hang up thinking my phone is switched off or something. This really sucks!
I loved the m10pro especially but the m20pro is not my friend due to the calling issue and the really crap LG screen.
I've posted this issue on T-Mobiles Forum in hopes of getting them to take notice. Here is the link.

So far this seems to be working but 1 day without any missed calls is still too early to celebrate.. Thanks for sharing what you found--the missed calls were driving me crazy.
There's another option that I disabled in Hope of fixing the call issue. I attached some images of what to look for. The option was enabled by default so just click on the slider to disable
