[Q] Alarm notification in top bar - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi,
I use the standard alarm on my Galaxy S3 to wake me up in the morning.
When it goes off I usually just press a button on the side to turn it off. Since a few days, after I've done this there is a notification in the top bar, and a message when I swipe it down. (see screenshot below ) The message reads (mine is in Dutch): "Alarm - You can stop alarms or put them in hiberna.." where I suppose the rest would be "...te by going into settings.." or something.
The annoying thing is this message is a permanent notification and it isn't possible to swipe the message away or I haven't found a way to turn it off. The only way is to reboot the device. Not too much trouble, but kinda trivial to have to do this every day just to get rid of a notification
The phone just recently started doing this, so I'm guessing it came in with a recent update or something.
Any help would be appreciated!
Dries

Long press the notification, then press App Info. Uncheck the Show Notifications box.

Thank you for the reply!
It won't let me uncheck the box, but you did gave me a way to get rid of the notification; as I can "force close" the app. I then have to remember to start it back up, otherwise I won't wake up on time the next day
If there's any more help, I'd be glad to hear it!

I honestly think the best solution is to find a better app. I'd recommend Alarm Clock Plus. There's a free version you can try.

I just installed it. Thanks for the help!

I've never seen this one before.
I would clear data for it and see if it continues, but it looks like you installed another alarm app. I personally am using Timely now. I like the compatibility between TW and AOSP ROMs, the syncing feature, etc.
I would freeze the stock clock app if you're not using it anymore. Wakelocks you don't need.

[Q] How to hide the side-bar in the Gallery?

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to hide the sidebar of the Gallery when you are browsing pictures in the Album?

No. You have to use quickpic. But you loose the air view functionality. ..

Bummer ! I enjoy moving pictures easily between Albums in the stock Gallery. Maybe they need to have this functionality in the next upgrade.
I wonder if if anyone is seeing a bug similar to what I'm seeing. On this same gallery side bar when I attempt to scroll up and down the list keeps resetting itself back to the last selected folder. If I'm doing something wrong then please tell me as this is very frustrating!
Swipe left and the sidebar will be hidden. Dunno if that is a new addition or not.
I did not know that thank you.
Neither did I til last night. Just happened to slide my finger left and the sidebar disappeared. I wonder what other stuff I can do that I don't know about yet
swipe left doesnt work foe me

It doesn't work for me either.

It's work fine for me: Good:
How do you get it back? I actually liked the gallery side bar
It worked for me. I wonder why it only works for some and not for others.
It sounds like it. Swiping to the left does not restore the album sidebar I want too.
It works. Just needs a little practice.
Swipe on entire screen to the left to hide it.
Swipe similarly to the right to bring it back.

[APP] 3 Must have apps! (Light Manager, S-pen Gesture, Pop-up browser)

No credit, just found these on the note forum, and thought they were amazing so I'm sharing them here!
Light Manager (Control the LED Notification, simple, easy on the battery. Will upload a picture with the color settings I use as the defaults are not set for our phones.)
Pop-up Browser Invoker - Toss this in your Multiscreen bar, and you can always pop a mini browser up!
[ROOT] BEST APP EVER! I was looking for a way to add a simple Home gesture to the built in commands that the S-Pen has. (Hold button, draw arrow or line) This app will let you set up much better gesture support!
GMD S-Pen Control
Added picture of settings for light manager. Well tried to but the app won't let me. Will try posting a new comment with the pic.
Yeah, I used lightmanager for a couple minutes and was happy that it appears to be our note2 friendly version of lightflow. However that notification in the status bar is way over the rop. Have you found a way to get rid of it?

Hey, first check that that the colors are actually different. Mine has almost exactly the same color as SMS. If it's just not going off at all then please direct your question to the th re ead linked in the OP. I just found these apps, I'm not the dev hehe.

anyone else having issues with poweramp?

I'm on latest omega, 24 I think it is.
my poweramp has a really weird issue, my 'Song's list option is hiding under the 'Folders/Library' banner at the top. its only when I put it into landscape mode that I can even see a little bit of the bottom of Songs. check out the pic

the second issue I'm having is when I longpress the call button on stock samsung headphones it doesn't skip tracks anymore, I have to use the 'use double/triple press instead of long press' advanced menu option, I'd prefer to use long press.
I had this issue on omega 23.3 as well. can anyone else tell me if this is a common problem?

Yea i have the same issue with the menu. Untick settings>look and feel>menus>bottom action bar and it should go back to normal.
Dont know about your second issue sorry.
Same problem here, I just unticked "Action Bar" in Look and Feel > Menus as a quick workaround.

Thanks guys, you should see the responses poweramp support team gave me.. felt like I was talking to a bunch of monkeys.. lol
saying things like 'try scrolling down derp derp'
after I sent them pictures and then a side by side comparison of how it works on one phone vs mine.. then they said 'clear my cache'... lmao
should have went to xda first. I think I might just install a working version of poweramp from before they messed it up. anyone know the last fully functional version?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi, I think you're using Omega v34 (latest build) and I've been using poweramp since I was still using SGS 2. Long press to skip track is no longer working in JB 4.1.1 and up because by default it's suppose to bring up Google Now. In other ROM without Google Now implemented it should work just fine. About the issue on lanscape/horizontal mode, I don't have it. I'm using poweramp build 2.05 488.
Edit: Like those fellow xda members said, removing the action bar should fix your problem with landscape mode

Lock screen rotation bug

My wife and I both have a GN2. Mine is running MyRom and she is completely stock (no root or anything).
She has a problem with the lock screen. Sometimes it will try to display in horizontal mode when the phone is being held in portrait orientation. This causes the lock screen pattern to be cut off.
I have never had this happen on my phone but she had to get her phone replaced (different reason) and it did it on both phones. She has to restart her phone to be able to unlock it.
I tried to mock up what it is doing but my artistic skill is lacking...

I wish I could screen shot because I've experienced the same. But I still just swipe up to unlock and it works just fine. You know how on nexus services the jelly bean clock where the hours and minutes are a different font abs one is bold over another is a description of how the display looks

Check her rotation settings, smart rotation and all. Im sure u already did that and it made no difference but its always the first thing to do.
From my experience whenever thst happens its because of excessive background apps are open killing the processor. Does she kill apps at all? Restarts the phone from time to time? Tell her to kill apps instead of backing out, hold the home button and the right buttin should kill the background apps and thr left bitton will take u to the ram and frees that up by clicking another button.
You can also download advanced mobile care on the phones and it has an option to kill apps when the screen wakes up, slight delay before input, bit it kills background and app processes. Good luck and report bavk

screen on with text message

Hey guys I've made the jump from the s4 to the g3 and gotta say so far I'm loving it's an awesome device, one thing that I miss from the s4 though is the lock screen turning on every time I got a text message, is their anyway to do this with with the g3? while I'm at work I turn the phone notification sound to silent so I'm not constantly hearing it go off instead I would just look over and see the screen go on, if I could get that working on my g3 then it would be perfect thanks for any help
I use the app Nils Lock Screen Notifications ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget) to get lock screen notifications and to turn my screen on when a notification is received (so long as the phone isn't covered).

Confused
Hello, I recently purchased the G3 as well except I am having the opposite problem as you. Out of the box my phone does turn on the screen when i receive a text message and I wish to disable this but cannot find an option to do so. You say yours wasn't doing this at all out of the box? I feel as though i have poured through every settings option and can't disable this.
Have you tried messing with these settings?
