I have read and tried everything, nothing seems to make the alarm icon in my notification bar go away.. It's driving me CRAZY! Can someone please help?
Delete all your alarms in click app. Doesn't work? Try deleting the data for the clock app under application manager in system settings. Then reboot. Still doesn't fix it. Flash your firmware again or factory reset.

You have no active alarms set up? No scheduled ones?
If I disable my daily scheduled alarm the icon disappears immediately.
I've deleted the alarm app I had and also cleared the cache and data for the regular clock app.. Nothing worked.

Are you sure it's not the stop watch or timer icon from clock app? Maybe you turned that on by mistake? Try a factory reset from settings before flashing firmware. Faster and easier but not as clean.

What "alarm app"? You aren't talking about the built in Samsung alarm clock?
Sounds as if this 3rd party app you installed screwed something up.
Do you have a screenshot of the Samsung alarm clock?
Try setting an alarm through the default Samsung app and see if a different icon pops up or it just stays the same. If it stays the same let the alarm go off then turn it off when it prompts you.

I no longer have a 3rd alarm app, I deleted it. This is a screenshot of the Samsung clock app.

Yeah, it's a weird issue man. We're you using a third party alarm app at some point? Do your alarms still work like normal? Pandora is a infamous app that causes an issue like this, do you have that installed?
Also check through all audio apps like Tunein Radio which could potentially cause this. Also delete any clock or audio related widgets from the home screen.

Yes at one point I was using a 3rd party alarm app. I'll go through all my apps and see if I can find out what's causing it. I'll let you know what I find.

handcent??
short answer: no.
hand cent and other messaging apps just read the messages out of the stock app.
if you remove it then you won't get any messages. but nandroid and try it, don't take my word for it
You can turn off all notifications in the stock app and use handcent. It will show up in your app drawer but other than that it's like it's not there.
im getting 2 notifications on my device. i desable the notification on the stock app but still shows up.

in the stock app make sure in menu/settings you uncheck auto retrieve as well as received notification.
i did. i was reading in this forum that it was the beautiful widget

If you have everything turned off in the stock app then yea, it's beautiful widgets giving you that notification.
I do not have it rooted, nor do I have a 3rd party launched on there, I downloaded a text widget app which I believe may have something to do with why its doin this because it only started doing it when I tried to apply the widget to one of my screens, I have also tried to turn of off and then it back on but no luck.
Can anyone tell me there is a wah to access the apps and they to delete it by pluging it in and doing it that way? Would really hate to have to recover to a previous version
I don't quite understand what is going on. Does your launcher force close only when you try to put the widget on the screen, or does it force close on booting now?
If it is just when you put the widget on the screen, then there is something wrong with that widget and you can just uninstall it.
Sorry,no it does it now even when I boot

What app or widget?
I think it was literally called text widget, it was 4 stars and had over 10,000 dls so I didn't think anything about t I guess
this is the app I dl'd
https://market.android.com/details?...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50VGV4dCJd
well I was able to get it fixed by just spamming the settings button and was able to get to the applications and manually un-install it
I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks
Could be something to do with Google Now. Check the settings

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.
Whenever I turn on my screen, there's a Location Found notification appearing on my lockscreen. Any clue how I can disable that?

Is the location switch in the drop done menu on /
if yes, then turn it off and the issue should stop.
If no, then you need to find which app is asking for a location fix. It could be weather app.

Definitely want to keep location settings on. Curious how I could tell what app is prompting the notification though.

what apps do you have that rely on location ?
try disabling one by one till the notification does not appear.
Do you have a partner as I use this to see where my wife is using the android built in app, and when I do this comes up on her phone, so maybe someone is checking up on you?

It seems for some reason I don't get the motion effect option toggle anymore when I set up a static wallpaper.
When I first set up the phone, the option was there. Then after a few hours I tried another wallpaper and now the option is permanently gone. No restarts, clearing theme cache or resetting settings manage to bring back the option toggle. Not even using the same picture.
Anybody else experiencing this?

You're a friggin genius!!! Thank you. That was bugging me to no end.
Thanks, I was wondering where the option had gone! It must have been cleared when I tried the Pixel launcher.
I had the same issue today, where I couldn't understand why the motion effect was gone. Then I remembered it had something to do when I installed Nova Launcher. I tried the launcher but I didn't quite like it so I deleted it. I went to settings and checked if touchwiz was checked on and it was not. Always Make sure touchwiz is your default home screen. Simple little thing that can really make you go nuts. It's working great now.
Perfect Solution

Motion Effect Issue
Hi everyone,
I called Samsung technical support and they told me within 2 mins now to fix the Wallpaper Motion Effect Issue.
These are the steps to follow..
1- Settings
2- Apps
3- The top right hand corner has a tab with 3 dots, hit that and go to "Default Apps.
4- Go to "Home Screen
5- Final step is, after going to "Home Screen" make sure "Touchwiz Home" is selected. If it's not Select it and that will fix the "motion effect" issue.
??
Hope that helps.
