It isn't in CleanROM either. I know you can still send a scheduled e-mail, but the option to scheduled SMS I believe should be in messages screen -> menu -> scheduled messaging.
Maybe this feature was taken out. There are plenty of market app substitutes, though...
Like a calendar appointment?
Yeah I've tried everything to get it from the stock text application and nothing. Plus I know I can use a third party app but I really don't want to go that route if possible. Vzw always finds a way to screw up something for me.ugh.
What are you trying to accomplish. A message to pop up on your screen at a certain time/date?

No, we're supposed to be able to schedule a text message straight from the messaging app, this is so frustrating to realize that such a great feature apparently was removed by vzw. This must be why they were last to get the note 2...removal of things we could actually use and branding it into oblivion

Let's say I needed to send a text out to someone at a certain time but I'd be asleep at that time, I could schedule it to send the text to that person at that time...

I've never understand wasting the time to get upset over something this simple.
There has to be 50 different apps that can do this. In the time it took you to type this, you could have installed one of them and scheduled the text to go out...........
As far as I know, this was never an advertised feature of the VZW Note 2, and honestly, this is the first I'm hearing of it.
Check out the review on gsmarena for the n2. It was a business feature for the n2. Works much like scheduled emailing

I have tons of apps, but hate third party messengers. Even if didn't, I wouldn't want to install something I don't really want for one feature. That being said, if it's somewhere in the phone, I'm sure it could be brought out, like blocking mode, etc. Time will tell

I don't see Verizon anywhere on that. Also, if you're reading reviews, 90% of the time, they're for the international version, which is going to vary as far as software and sometimes hardware. If you really want to know where it is, ask VZW, as they made the final call on it being included or not.

To imnuts' point, that clearly says Galaxy Note II N7100 which would be the international one. That does not say the Verizon i605 was going to get that feature.
Meh, most of the roms are built off the international versions, right? I don't see this included in any of their roms. Op was just asking if it was there. They didn't advertise scheduled emailing, but it is there. Odd they'd have that feature, but take out sms. Probably cause one uses data and the other one goes towards their unlimited texts. Anyways I was just showing where people would get that impression. I never stated specifically that it was for vzw, but an advertised feature of the note 2. And yeah we all know how vzw does things their way. But can anyone confirm this feature is indeed on stock sms? Then it might be as simple as pushing the sms apk over.
I appreciate everyone's responses and yeah I just hate to have an app that isn't needed if the feature was just left in...I might just root this thing and try to add another messaging app from another version if possible. Like this isn't a MUST have thing for me but I can't figure out why it's not here. Whoever pointed out that vzw left it as a part of the email because that consumes data vs unlimited texts makes perfect sense.
just you go sms, has everything you will ever need including scheduling messages.
If it really is on the international version then I dont think it would be that hard to get it on the VZW version, but thats a big if. I havent seen this on any of my phones in quite a while, then again I havent specifically looked for it either.
I would think if it was on the international version it would be on the CleanRom or Beans versions that are based on international roms.

I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .
jje
OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?
Actually nvm that browser mod will not work with ics. Even states in that post "should be comparable with 2.3.x roms.

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.

Hah thanks for the laugh xD
Anyway, I should have worded that differently: "Have you flashed a ROM that helps with the multitasking issue".
Most of them do, but if you don't want to flash a ROM some people reported that if you change the setting within developer options to 'At most 4 processes' for the background process limit it helps alleviate this issue.
This is by far my biggest problem with this phone. From what I've heard, stock ICS doesn't have the same issue.
Yeah, it pisses me off when I scroll through a list and go out of the window, ONLY to have that damn list reload back to the first item.
There HAS to be a way to get rid of that permanently if stock ICS phones don't have this problem?
Yeah, the multitasking is the only issue I have with this phone. Reminds me of the fail WP7 has with multitasking :/
Yeah a lot of the issues with this phone can only be alleviated through rooting it and flashing a custom rom. As I stated in another thread with my opinions of this phone and the pros/cons, this phone requires the user to root it in order to have a pleasurable experience.

Which is really disappointing. We shouldn't have to root in order to get things like this to work properly. If HTC is going to place a button dedicated to a specific function on their phones, you'd think that function would actually work.

No one is arguing against it, we are merely providing solutions to the problem. Furthermore, if we want to nitpick the button isn't a 'multitasking' one, it simply brings up a recent apps list. That being said I do hope HTC fixes this. It seems to affect all the Sense 4.0 phones. I know the One X has this problem by simply looking at their forum and from what I tested the One S at T-Mobile while helping my parents get a new phone, it seems that the S also has the same problem.
Rooting and flashing roms hasn't fixed my multitasking issues..I think its a deeper sense issue..I've manually adjusted min free settings with no luck..so Im assuming that its Kernel related buried deep..its my only gripe with this otherwise perfect device..and some people actually like its killing of apps..although it doesn't seem to free up any extra ram ...edit - hasn't the issue been resolved with the att hox with an ota? I thought I saw that somewhere
Yep rooted and romed. I dont want to say which one because u don't think it matters. Non of it would bother me so much if my new phone wasn't slower than my old one.

The worst is when I play Sega's Sonic Adventure app or open up stumble upon and every single time I go back to the home screen, sense has to reload. I've never experienced that with my Xoom.
Are the ROMs effective at fixing the multitasking issue? That, ps3 bluetooth, and otg support would be the only major reasons I'd root my phone (maybe titanium backup too for contingency). I'm not root shy, my OG EVO was rooted two weeks after I got it, but, in the long run, everything seems more consistent when running completely stock, and I can pretty much find an app for everything I need.
Also, do you guys think that if we send in enough complaints that HTC would get its act together for the jelly bean update?

I'll also have to agree that rooting and. A custom rom still don't do much to alleviate the issue. Chrome still reloads every time I come back.

Where is this secure box? These messages were a key piece of evidence in a lawsuit and now they are gone.

i'll just hack the crap out of it, and stream 80+ gigabytes of data monthly to piss them off. unlimited data ftw.

not sure if this will work on s4, obviously its for the s iii
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/0...g-wifi-notification-on-the-verizon-galaxy-s3/
and obviously we will have to wait and see, once the verizon version comes out.
i'm surprised they don't force wifi when available :silly:
Just a quick tip to temporarily stop in until reboot is hod the notification from the drop down, tap app info than tap force stop. It will get rid of it until a better root method is provided

I would take this response from the chat representative with a grain of salt. Verizon doesn't tell them much and they are notorious for providing misinformation. Take the S4 pre-orders for example. It seemed like everyone that did an online chat got a different answer as to what time they started. While it's likely that Verizon will force this WiFi notification on us, I really don't think this can be taken as a confirmation. The chat representatives most likely have not seen the Verizon model, nor is it likely that they've been given very much information about it.
Just trying to be optimistic here, although I'll be surprised if it doesn't have the ongoing notification.

Exactly. Chat reps are the pond scum of the Verizon food chain. Don't trust them for any sort of technical / non-basic information.
Although I would assume Verizon will keep this notification to annoy people who use too much network data.
i see it as a way of getting everyone off their 4g network so i can hog all the bandwidth

So it tells you to turn on wifi? Or turn it off?

This isn't really the first we've seen of it, the previous gen flagship phones had this on Sprint by default as well (S3/EvoS). I don't remember how the S2 worked but I'm inclined to say that the "Sprint Connection Optimizer" became big in early 2012.
You and I may be against it, but there is a good case to be made for mobile data offloading onto your home/public WiFi connection. If anyone cares to read some interesting opinions on this, head over to S4GRU: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2...ta-on-wifi-even-though-you-pay-for-unlimited/ (starting at post #6)

Constant nagging to connect to WiFi.

I agree, but this should classify as nontechnical, basic information that even they could process.
Sorry about the horrible quality photo this is what they are talking about

This mod was discovered for the S3. I have followed the instructions and verified that it works on the S4 also.

I was able to "open as text" in Root Explorer to modify the original file. Saving the file from there automatically created a .bak of the original.

My question is why would you want to disable them? If a presidential alert was ever issued I think you'd definitely want to know about it as they are not issued often at all.

On my old Droid X I used to get Emergency Alert System Tests under the "Presidential Alert" heading. They were obnoxious. Not to mention the fact that I simply don't use my phone that way and prefer to get my emergency preparedness alerts from other sources. Oh, and I also have a real problem with .gov cramming this useless nanny-state garbage down my throat.
You want your "[propaganda] alerts" that's fine, don't turn them off. Some people want them turned off and the link above explains how.
That's strange that you got common EAS tests, as I have never received one in my history of owning a smart phone or any phone for that matter. I think it would be a wise idea to keep them on there just in case you are not around "other sources" if something crazy happened. Just my two cents. But thanks for the contribution, I am sure there are other people that feel the same way.
Are we supposed to believe any message that comes through those alerts?
You guys do as you want, I just hope not tax payer money will be spend rescuing you after you fail to heed the warnings.

lol yet taxpayer money goes out to pay for the systems to send these texts out. i don't need a text to get a tornado warning; there's 2893489234893 weather apps on android that do it, along with the fact i own a weather radio that specifically alerts me for it. i don't need my cellphone to do it from the government.

Welt it never hurts. The weather apps I find can have a delay and if a tornado is rilling my way id like to have as much warning as I can get and as many warnings.

In all the time I've been a smartphone user, I've gotten test alerts every once in a good while, and the only emergencies I've ever gotten was several flood warnings, despite the fact that in that realm of time we even had tornado emergencies and ZERO EAS alert on my phone.
This shouldn't even be a conversation. If you statist sheeple want your paranoia alerts no one is stopping you. Yet you have this retarded mental breakdown that those of us capable of self reliance and critical thinking need to be convinced to see things your way. You just can't deal with the fact that your view isn't the only one, can you?

Not really, it's just tinfoil hat club conspiracy theorists like you that have to denouce a tested and proven method of keeping the general populace safe. Did you throw your FM radio out the window when it started giving weather alerts?

Looks like the oxygen is pretty thin up there on your high horse.
It's ironic that you mention critical thinking skills because your rant is clearly and concisely demonstrative of a lack of said skills. You may want to study up on logical fallacies because you've relied on them heavily.

The reason nobody is agreeing with you is not because of your stance, it's because of your attitude. Even the people that would normally agree with your point of view most-likely closed the topic and shook their head because you're coming across like a spoiled teenager telling his parents he doesn't need their help and wants to do things his own way.
If you don't want the alerts: Wonderful; however, calling people that see a need for the alerts (or at least understand the reason for them) statist sheeple and [mental retards] is beyond reprehensible.
Oh, and read najaboy's response...then do a google search for logical fallacies. It's like you're just going down the list while creating your argument and demonstrating every one.

Just wanted to point out that this is not a "Presidential" alert, it's an "Extreme" alert, which ARE able to be unchecked by default.
I usually am really good with words. But this thread has left me quite speechless... Closed before the President reports anymore weather....
