Any way to remove the; clear defaults instruction? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Anyone found a way to remove the extremely annoying 'clear defaults' notification that shows each time an application is selected as default to carry out a task?
It makes no sense to me, why they haven't put a 'do not show this again' check-box on it.

annoying AND persistent
Hello. Please tell me you found a fix. This is beyond annoying. I am up to Day with it.
Thanks.

Do you want to change to notification tone or remove it? You can just turn it off in settings if you just wanted it off.
edit: I see the files in /system/media/audio/notifications but don't know where the defaults are for events....sry.

You know, when you select the notification sounds asking you if you wanna use the android sounds or some other files. I clicked the "use by default for this action"
I would like to undo that.

I haven't seen that prompt myself.
But if it was from an application (or system app) you can go into settings->Applications (click the menu key to filter and see system apps)->Click the application that you want->scroll down and click "Change defaults".
Next time the action is performed it will prompt you for your default action.

That's where I get stuck. I'm not sure which one is the one for system sounds.
Nevermind...It was the "Android system"
Thank you!

[Q] SMS Notification issue

Hello
I have upgrade my HD2 from 1.66 to 3.14 - stock european rom (danish). No extra's except Cookies hometab.
I have searched, and searched and found answers, but sadly they do not work here.
Issue: SMS Notification: SMS Sent successfully (translated)
I do not want it. And i cannot seem to turn it off.
I have looked into SMS -> Settings .... and there is no mark in the SMS Delivery Report (again my translation). Tried some registry changes found using google, and still the I get the notification.
So the question is: how to turn it off ? Is it possible ?
tia
mvh / best regards
I had the same issue, and I could disable it.
When you're in the settings tab, use the Menu soft key and click the Plus menu item (it should be the only one), to access the Windows Mobile (i.e. not Sense's) control panel.
From there, you should be able to navigate to (roughly translated, I use the French ROM) sounds and notifications(sounds and alerts ?), then navigate to the second tab. There is a drop down list where you can select the "SMS sent" notification, and then, uncheck all the boxes to stop notifications.
When this is done, just press OK at the top left corner of the screen to save the changes, and return to the manila (sense) UI.
I hope this solves your problem.

Hi and thank you.
I tried it, but no effect.
It is not a big issue - just a small annoying one
so I can live with it.

Guys from HTC will probably never make SMS working perfectly on HD2. Fixing one thing, break another. These annoying notifications happen because of a missing registry entry. Just add it manually:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
"DisableSMSSuccess"=dword:00000001
Worked for me.

And for me as well. Thank you.
Perhaps something for Tips & Tricks ?
If you don´t want to mess with the registry there is a cab file that does it for you.
http://www.4shared.com/file/9eCnZJR4/SMS_zend_popup_uitschakelen.html
It´s in dutch but it works with any language.
I installed the cab to disable the "message sent" notification, but since then the sms conversation mode has stopped working. When I receive a message I can see it on the messages screen but when I tap it the screen opens with the top half of the screen blank, where the sender's message should be displayed. The bottom half of the screen shows the reply section with "Tap to add text".
Uninstalled the cab and soft reset but cannot get back the conversation mode. I seem to remember someone posting about a similiar issue with an earlier rom, but despite searching I can't find it.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
Edit: deleted all my messages and now conversation mode seems to be working again
Fix worked
This has really been bugging me since upgrading too..reg fix suggested works a treat with no ill side effects, thanks!
i created the registry key and it worked.
Thanks a lot!

can you write me what do i add?

change ur rom...
i added the string manually and all ok
In some cases you need to set following value, too:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSNoSentMSG"=dword:00000001
Hi. Its a common problem. I called HTC Support and they said that is an error in this ROM upgrade. They still dont know if an upgrade will come to fix the proglem. It probably will. I had the same problem so I "Downgraded" the ROM to 1.66

Stefan

[Q] How to hide "learn about tilt" message in internet browser?

Every time I open the web browser, it appears a pop-up window with a "learn about tilt" message. I've searched in google, in the settings and in the manual, but can't find anything about it.
It doesn't disappear after doing the tilt movement in any web.
Does anyone know how to hide this annoying message?
In this popup, you have a box to tick, so it doesn't show again (I think, because I just had it once !)

Yeah... I didn't realise that I could scroll down in that message.
Thanks.
Regards.
You're welcome
That's probably because you were using it in landscape mode^^ I think that in portrait mode you don't have to scroll to see it

Help with app taking over lockscreen???

Yesterday for the first time I got a strange new lock screen I don't remember installing.... When my phone (Nexus 6) is plugged in, and I wake it up, at first I get my regular stock lock screen. But, when I unlock it, this new strange lock screen appears in its place (the first image - which says at the top "0 Words typed today" and "1% beat global users.") When I tap the three-dot menu in the top right, I get the second screen (says "Boost Charge" and gives me option to uncheck.)
Does anyone recognize this? I guess it's possible it's malware of some kind but I am generally pretty careful. It seems like typing stats, but I only have google keyboard, swiftkey and touchpal installed, and none of those seem to be causing this as far as I can tell.
I would like to avoid a factory reset if I can help it, but I don't like the idea of something I didn't choose being on my phone..... Any help as to how this got here?
Same thing happened to me.
Found out it's SwiftKey. Wasn't even using it, so I just uninstalled it.

I've got the exact same thing. Annoying as hell. Don't have SwiftKey installed. Mine I believe is coming from TouchPal.
I got this to stop without uninstalling TouchPal. In TouchPal settings, go into General Settings and disable Daily Summary, which causes another annoying pop-up screen once a day. Then click on Power Boost and disable that. Exit, exit, exit.
I think the Power Boost, um, feature? is causing those random pop-ups.
Hope this helps somebody else. The keyboard itself is pretty good, so I'm sure some people won't want to uninstall it.

Yep, it's TouchPal. I found the Boost Charge one, but hadn't noticed the separate Daily Summary setting-thanks for the heads up.

[SOLVED] Turn off suggestions from settings in Nougat?

I really don't need to dismiss "on body location" yet one more time. Is there a way to turn off these things that appear unbidden at the top of Settings?
I'd like to stop these annoying messages too. Anyone know how to turn them off?

It took me awhile, but I think I've come across the solution.
First, you need to set up some kind of screen lock (not just swipe). I just used a "z" pattern. Next, tap on that annoying nag at the top of settings. This will lead you to some blah-blah. You need to enable this useless feature (which probably does not work on the NT anyway....) and then reboot.
Return to Settings>Security and look for "Smart Lock". Disable on-body-location. Now go back to your screen lock setting and return it to what it was (swipe, in my case). Reboot.
So essentially you need to enable the feature, reboot, disable the feature, reboot, and you're good to go.
Go to Settings and if the nag is still there use the three dots to banish it. It's gone for good :laugh:
That worked. Thanks a ton for the tip!
