[Q] How to clear number in search - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I texted someone that I'm not suppose to as per my GF. So I go into message and delete the log. But the number still shows when I dail a number. For example if I type in the keypad 60455 the whole number would show up 6045557777. I need to get rid any trace of the number. Thanks in advance
btw i posted this in the ATT S3 forum too but thought I might get more response here. So delete the other one if you have to mods. Cheers

Format ur phone..!! This will surely help...!! Backup the contacts u want in ur google account.

Try clearing data on the phone apk then, also you could try backing up all your contacts and wiping contacts storage
Also try finding the thanks button.....it makes us kind helpful folk so much more willing to help

Settings/application manager/all/phone....clear data

For me deleting an entry in the call log does the trick and the number is not shown anymore...

Tried that..no luck.

Throw your phone away, for the sake of your GF.
Anyway, I guess since none of this is working you can just back up everything and wipe/re-flash.

im on the latest mean rom and when i press *2 it force closes??? anyone else having same problem on mean roM?? is there anyway to fix.. thanks
Why not post this in the mean rom thread ?? The dev gives great support for his rom. Also you will more than likely get better feed back from fellow members who are also using the rom as well.

Ohhh well hmm that's a bummer. Have you tried clearing the data on the dialer ??? However back up your contacts first. By pressing people in the dialer. Or open up contacts. Then press menu and export contacts to your sd. After you clear data on the dialer you might have to restore them. Try that and see if it helps any.

I think you need the Sprint Zone app loaded for that to work. Didn't someone post a leaked ICS Sprint zone in another thread?
Sent from my HTC Flyer using XDA Premium.
I know this might be a silly question, but did you wipe before flashing? The huge jump to ICS pretty much demands a full wipe/superwipe or you're gonna have a bad time.
If not, I have no idea what it could be. I'm on Meanrom and I'm not having the problem myself.

A factory reset is AFAIK the only thing that helps - or using an alternative Launcher like Nova or Apex.

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.

The issue you are having is related to contacts, Try making it to settings and clearing the data for contacts, that should fix you right up.

You could try changing your password to your google account from a computer and hopefully your account will become disassociated with your phone to allow you to clear data for contacts. OR ultimately doing a factory reset which will get rid of everything.

[Solved] Is an application incurring charges on my prepaid SIM?

Hi everyone!
This is oreo27, I used to be a moderator in one of the more popular Symbian modding oriented forums. I recently switched to Android and I got most of my resources here on XDA. Firstly, I'd like to say that the wealth of information in this forum is amazing! I learned the basics of modding and was able to root my device and understand a lot of concepts in a matter of hours. :good:
In any event, I seem to be having an issue with the Galaxy S3 I9300 I'm using.
I only use this phone for the applications. The prepaid SIM I've placed is only for the data usage (paid daily) and I don't use it at all for SMS or calls. I've noticed that my prepaid top up/credits/load (whatever you call it in your place) has been reduced for no reason. I'm thinking that an application may be sending an SMS/making a phone call which is causing the charges.
My question is this, is there any application that can monitor/block outgoing SMS/Calls? I've resorted to messing with application permissions and I'm afraid that I may screw something up or worse, miss whatever application is causing this. I could call the carrier but I want to make sure these charges are not coming from my end first.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

No, we don't. You are charged every time you use data. However, I was on a 24 hour unlimited data promo at the time the charge was incurred thus the suspicion of a rouge application sending an SMS/making a phone call.

If you use it for apps only a lot of them connect to the internet to work properly so will use data
You could try something like this app here to monitor usage it may help, you can search the play store for data usage app and you will get a lot to choose from if this one is no good for you.
You could also pull down the notification panel and turn off Mobile Data if not already done, its another thing to try to see of it stops the data charges being incurred.

The comments were left for the OP as he stated he was on an unlimited promotional data plan when it happened 'was on, not is on' and he pays for a sim but only uses it for data, not calls or text messages so what I linked him to will allow him to monitor this, if he does not find it helpful then really it is for him to tell me, or not bother responding, either way its his choice.

Yes, an SMS notification is sent to you to confirm the registration. It happened several hours before expiration. Unfortunately, I've already deleted the message by updating the device to 4.3 and wiping the device :angel:

Yes, I was on unlimited data when it occurred. Is there an application that can block all other applications aside from the default, from sending an SMS or making phone calls without my knowledge? That was the actual application that I was looking for. Sorry for the confusion.
That's the only explanation as to why the prepaid top up was reduced. Thanks for the prompt responses.

No, it hasn't thankfully.
In any event, I've resorted to manually revoking permissions of applications that have, in my best judgement, need of Sending SMS using an application called App Ops 4.3 / 4.4 KitKat. That should sort things out. From my understanding it's just a native application on 4.3 and above that's currently not accessible. I've been using it since today and everything seems in order.
Thanks to all the prompt responses

"Introducing Smart Notice" won't go away

So I'm using the smart notice widget on my home screen, and for whatever reason, the introductory card that explains what Smart Notice is pops up multiple times every day. Even if I tap OK or the X button, I'll still keep getting the notification for it. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a way to get it to stop?
Is no one else having this issue? Surely I can't be the only one. I've been searching for a way to fix this, but clearing the cache for the widget doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot! Just for reference, the offending folder's name was "initial_guide_my_concierge." For me at least, but you can modify or remove just about any card from that directory.

Yeah I made an update zip for it a few days ago just in case I need to put it back for any reason..
Make sure you read the request box, there is a small checked box on the lower corner. Don't uncheck it, then press ok.. And it should not show you it again, this is the same for all the help tips.
