Ah ok, I cannot remember turning that off. And I also cannot find (also not on Google) where to turn it on again. Where is that option at? Thanks for your fast answer.

This question gets asked at least 10 times a day. The U.S. versions don't have that option, I wish ours didn't.

Clock while screen is off

Hi
I bet someone has also thought this but is there any way to show digital clock on screen while it's off? I've seen this on many Nokia's and it's great.

No need to be mean. Maybe an image could tell you more about the feature those other phones have:

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but If you mean the feature inside the default clock application it quite isn't the same. It doesn't lock the screen from touches and It won't activate when you lock your phone.

Well as far as I know, the idea is to light up only pixels needed, not the hole screen. I was thinking it's the feature of oled screens? Those Nokia phones doesn't drain battery because of the clock. I had Nokia N8 before SII and it's battery time was great.
For example check this app: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-sleeping-screen
I used it in the pass and it didn't drain my battery notably. So once again the idea is to light up the pixels needed, not the hole screen.
This is the app for you.... http://goo.gl/24ULV

[Q] Need help identifiing an indicator icon in the notification Bar

Hi,
Since this morning, I've got a new indicator icon in my notification bar (at the upper left corner, the arrow with a minus sign in it, see this screenshot :https://www.dropbox.com/s/e68h3jsh9nc0m6v/2012-06-11 21.10.50.png).
Does someone know where it comes from ? I thought at "Ring scheduler", but this isn't the usual ring scheduler icon :-(
Thanks Seb
This is the icon for "notifications disabled", it simply hides the notifications. You can toggle this behavior in the shortcut list [next to energy saving, it's the letter "i" in a circle] when dragging down the notification bar.
Can't see the pic for sone reason but sounds like notification. Flick down the status bar and turn notifications back on.

Search is the only solution. Generally scanning the threads on the GS3 forums doesn't work. Too many official indian/UK/Australian/new Zealand/canadian/Singapore etc threads all over the place.

A small padlock in the far right next to clock
Any ideas please?

Request to Devs (T-Mobile)

Can you guys make it so that there's a music shortcut in the lockscreen when the music is playing - like you'll find in Sense ROMs?
Bump.

you should probably just look around a little bit dude. check out my aokp rom thread. there are tons of icons/shortcuts you can add to the lockscreen.
I'm guessing that he means so you can pause/play from the homescreen.

Bingo. Pause, play, rewind, fast forward from the lockscreen.

does touchwiz pull down on notification not give you music options? Don't have phone yet, just going off CM9 ICS options.

It does give you options in the notifications, but he wants to have the options on the lockscreen (I assume because you can't pull down the notification if your phone is locked by methods that are more secure than swipe to lock).

Gotcha makes sense. I'm surprised it isn't available stock.

Just use PowerAmp, that has an awesome lock screen app.

Actually, I have the standard lockscreen. But, it doesn't do it from the lock screen. It only does it when I'm using the phone with another app, not from unlocking the phone.

I was wondering if theres a way to remove the stock text notification and add a custom one.... the att one really sucks... thanks i appreciate any help !!!
Flash a custom rom like oakp or aosp or cm?

@ranger captain thanks broe just found it on the sms settings i appreciate the help.... thanks again broe
do but only works for emails and other notifications... bug not for text...
Bro, set up things how you like them then reboot to see if the old preference is cleared out and the new ones stick. Its worth a shot.
Open messaging app, hit the menu captive button on lower left and click settings.

Sprint connection optimizer disappeared after marshmallow update?

The last I knew when I was on lollipop ,the option was under settings>mobile data> automatic connections. But I don't see the opt-in anymore and I don't see it in the apps section of the phone even under disabled apps. Someone please help me asap.
