do you have another phone that is logged in to the same Google account? I had this and it was a legacy of not having read the emails on the other phone for some strange reason! Read them, cleared data and all was good

A factory reset is AFAIK the only thing that helps - or using an alternative Launcher like Nova or Apex.
try clearing the phone.apk data and reboot
Sent from the asylum
Data is cleared from settings/appmanager then find phone and clear data.
and reboot as slaphead said

I had this one before thinking about it, and it was my carriers voicemail that had caused the problem I think, I seem to remember phoning them and getting them to clear the call log or voicemail data, and it was sorted
Sent from the asylum
So what should I do right now ?
I'm totally confused
Btw I guess I didn't activate voicemail coz didn't use it

Check if this works:
Open Messaging>Menu>Delete Threads>Select all and Delete.
This fixed the issue for a colleague's phone. Might be a message which is stuck and not showing up in Messaging.

if you mean to delete the icon of it and drag and drop it again from apps ,
well the ANSWER IS YES i did , and i wonder the icon itself in apps menu stuck with no. 1 too like the other one
I had this and tried everything to clear it but unfortunately the only thing that worked was factory reset. Even reinstalling a later firmware didnt clear it.
Your apps are all redownloaded after thels reset, but you will lose anything saved in Your folders on the phone memory.

SMALL TRICK FOR HIDING "last seen" on WhatsApp.

Hey Friendz can we really hide "last seen" on WhatsApp..??
.
.
.
Yes there is a small trick, which i found out yesterday..
For me i have a samsung galaxy 5 and no internet on my phone(but it also works on phone data plan) i use Wifi, the trick is for me to have wifi on so i can recieve messages and once i do, i just turn off my wifi and then open the whatsapp message. after that you can even type a reply if you want send it, close whatsapp completly and start your wifi again. it wel then send the message but you wont have come online, my friends still think its freaky that i was last online 3 days ago while im still talking to them the only downside is that you yourself then cant see when someone else was last online cause to get that information you need to be in the message and online. hope this helps.

thanks! It's much better than the previous method!
But it would be better if it can automatically connect whatsapp again when I return to homescreen, so that msg can be sent and last seen can be hid as well!:fingers-crossed:

yes that you can just take another phone add a contact that you want to see and you can spy their status without being seen! I'm surprised you didn't figure this out obviously you can do many tricks for this. one is saving multiple data profiles for whatsapp and it requires root
another way for anyone, stock unrooted phone, is installing and uninstalling or clear data, change sim etc etc

you need to use titanium backup, make a backup of whatsapp. Then delete whatsapp data and create a new account with a new phone number.
You might need to move the old backup from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup saved as .tar.gz to some other folder and then you can swap whenever you need to change profile.
I hope you can understand what I mean!
maybe I'll try it
thanks! It's much better than the previous method!

[Q] Instagram blocked my device

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

Hello everyone who have the same problem with me. My S grand2 disabled too, but my instagram still active, i can still login on other device/bluestacks.
Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.

How to keep only 500 sms per contact ?

Hello.
This is my issue : I was on 4.1.2 with more than 50 000 sms (from 2009 to today, i'm nostalgic ) .
My phone was very slow, so I decided to update it on 4.3 (maybe it will not be slow anymore ?!), but it's worse : my "message" app crash 1/2...
First, is there a solution to keep my 50 000 on my phone without the fact that my SGS III is slow ?
If it's not possible, how to keep only 500 (for exemple, could be 200 etc) per contact ? Because i'm gonna have maybe 2000/3000 sms, and my phone will not be slow anymore.
How to do that ? Because with SMS backup and restore for exemple we could choose a date and just restore sms before the date, but I don't want that, I want to keep for exemple 500 sms for each contact.
Thanks in advance,
Hugo.

Yes i put the 500 limit messages, but as I restored them with Sms Backup & Restore, they are not deleted even they are much than 500.
For exemple, I still have more than 9000 messages with my favorite contact... Howw to "force" the delete ?

Yes I have backups, but why deleting all threads and restore all of them would resolved the issue ?
I mean if the app wont chop down your messages then the only option I see from here (I maybe wrong but the route I have taken) is to delete all messages then the 500 limit should stick as your messages repopulate as you use it.
I did just find this
