[Q] Persistant 4G LTE icon on Bonestock Rom? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

All,
Just installed Bonestock 3.0 rom. But is there a way to get rid of the persistant 4g LTE icon when I'm on Wifi? It's not a big deal, but it does take up some retail space. I think I read somewhere its because of some Verizon app that cause the 4g LTE to be persistant. I forgot what app causes this and which to uninstall to get it back to normal.
Thanks!

Look for the "canid.apk" and freeze/remove it

Were you able to confirm this works? I am interested in this as well. Thanks!

That's the app that causes it. It is in fact it popped up since md3 ota.

Tried looking for canid.apk in titanium backup but didnt find it.

I remember reading when MD3 came out that the app called "Caller Name ID" was causing the issues. Just deleting it might not be a good idea. After a 10 day "trial" VWZ will start to bill you $2.99 a month unless you opt out. You have to unsubscribe from the service first and then uninstall the app. This has to be done from inside the app from what I remember. I'm sure a google search could find the info needed.

That was exactly it. I disabled the Caller ID app and it is back to normal.

It's also known as canid.apk, don't know why you had trouble finding it maybe it the application manager.
Be sure to disable it on your Verizon account because they will charge you.

Xda app keeps disappearing

My xda premium app keeps disappearing for some reason maybe its AT&T uninstalling it. Is anyone else having the same issue? I'm currently on non rooted stock rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Lol no att is not uninstalling it. By ut keeps disapearing what exactly do u mean you know there is more then 1 home screen right? Is it possible it on one of your other home screens? Did u open the app drawer and scroll through your apps and not see it as well?
I've had this happen myself the past few days ever since I started messing around with some roms. For me, I'd go to click on the app shortcut and it would say it doesn't exist. I'd have to go back into Market and reinstall. Very odd issue and its happened around 3 times.
The last time it happened was when I went back to stock like I am now. I am still rooted though.

Nope. Just had this issue pop up again after I did a nand restore from stock. I couldn't access the app, it no longer showed anywhere on the phone (/system/app, Applications, etc.) and yet the Market showed it was installed. I ended up having to install the free app and then uninstall that to then reinstall the premium one.
Not had an issue like this with any other app.

[POLL] Tethering & AT&T Visual Voice Mail

Alright guys,
As most of you may already know, AT&T has been sending letters out claiming that users are tethering. I want to start a poll and see out of all you that received this letter or text. How many of you have AT&T Visual Voice Mail installed on your phone. Doesn't matter if you use it or not.
Reason being is that if you guys haven't seen the permissions for VVM this is what two of them are:
Network Communication:
View Network Connections
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected
System Tools
Retrieve Running Apps
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. This may allow the app to discover information about which applications are used on the device
Reason for this poll is to see if VVM is what is notifying AT&T of the "Tethering" Activities.
To clarify on the poll answers:
If you have VVM frozen then consider it as not having it installed.
i use vvm. i used foxfi and got the letter. sad.

With AT&T VVM installed, I was using the built-in AOKP tethering and I got the letter.
I have VVM and have used the Clockworkmod Tether app, which does USB tethering, never gotten a letter.
Alright, you guys are going to love this. So I just called AT&T about the letter. I figured I'd stick with the "play dumb" approach. I said I didn't know what it was about and I couldn't figure out how to tether anyway. Blah blah blah.. he said that when tethering use is reported over the network, the technicians verify it through "multiple redundant verification". I told him that after we got the letter, I tried to see if I could tether and that my phone wouldn't let me. He then stated "well, there are lots of apps that can let you tether," and he proceeded to rattle off a prepared list of apps including FoxFi and a dozen or so others.
This is where it got interesting. He proceeded to tell me that according to their technicians, "You're not even using the stock firmware". I replied, "the what whatter?" (sticking with my "play dumb" approach) and he responded, "You know, the stock operating system that came with your phone or that AT&T updated over the air."
If you use their apps, they can see everything. And it can't be long before they figure out a way to see everything without secretly spying on you with an app.

This kind of meshes with a conversation I had the other day with my AT&T contact. He said that there's been a lot of effort lately put into finding rooted devices on the network and getting them off.
I think at this point we can safely say that any AT&T-provided stock app is to be considered spyware, and should be removed from the phone entirely (not frozen, deleted with phone caches wiped) the second you root.
That said, there's nothing stopping them from putting silent tracker apps elsewhere in the phone and hiding them completely. Here's the fun part: the contracts don't say anything about rooting the phone, do they? If they start kicking root users off the network or forcing us to change off of unlimited data because we've rooted our phone, they'd be begging for a class-action lawsuit.

Especially when the US Supreme Court ruled that it was completely legal for us to root our phones. They just don't have to provide technical support for rooted phones.

Delete it entirely using Tibu. VVM is not a critical system process, and I don't trust that app at all.
I've been going through a lot of AT&T apps and most of them have the spyware on them.
As for being able to know if you are running stock firmware or not, I'm shocked to hear that.
As a community I think it's safe to say that no AT&T app can be trusted. They are using something to be able to gather information, we just have to figure out what it is.

It's pretty safe to assume that this and all current AT&T apps have spyware built in.

Lost bill to carrier option in Google Play

Did this happen to anyone else? I've called at&t and they said to call google so i did and they said to call AT&T. Frustrating! I've even tried wiping my phone and still that option is gone. Any ideas?

I know its working for me now. You might have to update the play store (current version is 3.9.16)
You can usually force it by clearing data and cache for the play store, or you can search xda for the apk and manually install it.

Yes i currently have this going on. I too have called att and google and they both said to call the other. I've tried a factory reset twice, cleared all google data and edited my build.prop a few times and nothing. I have also tried different versions of the play store as well. Its frustrating as hell. When i want to use carrier billing instead of a credit card i have to take my sim card out of my a2 and put it in my old infuse and it works fine. I'm going into my local att store this week sometime and getting a new sim card. Hopefully that will work but i highly doubt it.

Not sending or receiving SMS/MMS and data

I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

[Q] Sprint Visual Voicemail with cm 11 nightlies?

Hey all,
So I'm wondering what everyone (that is using cm11) are using for their voicemail as Cyanogens don't come with an app for it. I know there are 3rd party options like Google Voice etc but I really liked the one sprint has. I've downloaded several of the sprint APK's (possibly not for my phone model though) that have been posted and while they do install and work....sometimes.
All too often though when the voicemail ends and i press the back button my phone makes incredibly loud 56k modem-like sounds including long high pitched tones and just plain crazy ass ****!
This will continue for about 15 seconds until I hard reset the phone (or possibly forever but I've only been able to take 15 seconds of it before I'm forced to shut it down or smash it).
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Does anyone have an APK for sprint VVM or just the plain stock voicemail app?
I'm willing to try another apk if it is specifically for the xt897c but now that my model is xt897 because of cm 11 would that cause an incompatibility?
Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have tried searching the forums for a few weeks now but haven't been able to find a resolution.

Thanks bud. Appreciate the extra effort! Installed it but getting FC with it so far so I may need to do a fresh cm 11 when the next nightly is out.
Sort of on topic question, when you use this vm app do you receive a text from a 4 digit number telling you to call some other number (verified through sprint tech on the phone that the area code isn't used by sprint so it must be 3rd party but I've tried 4-5 completely fresh/clean rom installations and everytime I get a version of sprints apk I start getting those strange texts instead of the regular vm notification.
I definitely don't need a text telling me to call some 10 digit number everytime I get a vm lol. I'm asking you guys because I think its probably something on my account and not the phone but so far none of the tech support staff I've spoken with can figure it out.
Btw did you qr, apk, or zip install the app?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app
i have the exact same issue as slim brady high pitched modem sounds and annoying notifications and i also used the file found in the thread referenced above for install and also am running cm11 nightly. there has to be a fix for this ???????????
