Unread mail icon in topbar - HTC Excalibur

I'm using Ricky's ROM with topbar, and I can't seem to get rid of the unread mail icon near the top left. When I look at the sliding panel that has missed calls, voicemails, unread emails, etc - they all say 0, but the icon won't go away. Something I'm doing wrong?

I get this sometimes as well. If you know what app created the icon (Outlook, TXT message, 3rd party email, etc), then you just need to click on it and then perhaps click on the message again (even if it is read). It *should* disappear after that.

You HAVE unread messages somewhere Double check....

Whenever you reboot your phone or turn it off and on, refresh the screen, whatever, it will not display any numbers or info next to your missed calls or messages. It is something stupid about the system. It doesn't keep track in a good way of missed calls or what not, but then again, I can't think of any phone that does this well. Most phones that have this type of setup where it displays your messages or missed calls in a panel, don't have the ability to save that info once the phone has been rebooted.
I know this happens to me, it's just the way things are. You just have to roll with the punches. Sorry.
If you are running CHomeWeather, when it updates the plugin, it reloads your homescreen, so this might be what's causing you this problem.

Sorry to jump into your thread with a question, but I've just bought my dash, and already enjoying v23.
my question is what is the 'E'? (is it email? how to get rid of it) and anyway to disable to up-down arrow in the top center?

Yes, you did. The "E" is for the Edge network ("G" is for GPRS.) The up/down arrow is for the JOGGR scrolling feature. You can disable it in the JOGGR settings.

it seems to be a threading glitch.
viewing the message sometimes doesnt reset the notification icon.
As stated above, quickly click on the text message feature in the panel and quickly followed by the end key. WOrks for me.

Has anyone a solution to disable email notifications that works?

I have tried the solutions that came up here on a search but none of them work. How ******g hard can it be to stop notifications popping up every 5 ******g minutes??????
I am using Microsoft's own piece of ***t software and, for reasons I won't go into now, I am going to continue using it so solutions, and not recommendations to use other programs, would be extremely well received.
Many thanks
Have you tried Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifications and ticking/unticking the desired options for messages?

I have the same problem. I'd love to hear from someone who has actually solved this problem.
Sorry all, but I am confused.
I dont have the popup.
Start - Settings - Sound and Notifications - Notifications Tab, Messaging: New Email message.
Took the ticks out of:
Play Sound
Display Message on screen,
Flash Light
Vibrate
All I get now is a notification on the HTC Home Plugin:
Using toms B&B 4.2, and email through an exchange server.
Hi! I'm using Tom's 4.2 with an Exchange server too. And of course I disabled everything as you suggest. What I get is:
- on HTC home, the count of unread messages.
- an "unread" email icon on the top bar
- a "Notifications" text in the left soft button
- when I click it, a popup appears reminding me I've unread messages, and I have to dismiss it.
All of this is overkill for me. And except the HTC home bit, it's all in the original ROM too, so it's a WM thing, unrelated to Tom's ROM.
What I want is:
- only the unread count in HTC home.
- if it can't be removed, I'd settle for the top bar icon too
- NO notifications about unread email. Save the notifications only for the urgent stuff. I don't want to have to dismiss the popup before I can use my left soft button for other more productive things.
I hope that clears it

Notification Bar

Morning all, got my desire 2 days ago and still trying to get used to it after leaving my HD2. 1 thing i am annoyed at is the apparent inability to turn the notification bar off for sms, received/sent and STILL get a sound/vibrate.
I have found the settings in messages and handcert as i use that as my default sms now.
If i remove the tick from notification bar (in messages menu) and the sound 1 is ticked but then grays out. Nothing is shown or more importantly HEARD even though its ticked but grayed out. I have done the same for the handcert but it seems the notification settings in the messages program override the handcert ones.
Basically i want to have NO notifications on the notification bar but for it to make a sound and vibrate. Can it be done?

You could try duck tape?
Seriously its only fully visable if you pull it down, can't you just ignore it?
no really helpful that, i can ofc course ignore it. but being a non winMo i thought you could edit it so it just never showed up. i'd just prefer not to have to drag the thing down and click clear every time i send/receive a msg.
not asking much for such a customisable phone or so i thought.

If you read the message the notification disappears...
And you can change your whole ''desktop'' except the notification bar as far as I know.
Maybe a rom cooker can edit the android files but out of the box? No you can't change it. Sorry
And many people see the notification tab as a plus, and I do to I really have
a hard time imaging getting annoyed with it so sorry for my first response but it goes in the list of (for example)
1. I hate androids open source way of doing things, wich really is a virtue of android. 2. I hate htc sense (then don't buy it)
thanks for the reply.
I am just slightly annoyed that changing the settings in the original messages settings conflict and over ride the handcert sms ones. gonna try chomp and see if those settings can take priority over the default messages app.

You can set the settings for each program, if you want to turn off notifications, you can do that.
I have turned off notifications from the deafult messaging app and uses hancent's notifications.
If you dont want any og those apps notifications you have to turn them both off

WidgetLocker and Go SMS Pro problem

I am using WidgetLocker along with Go SMS Pro. I really like the popup feature, but I dont want it to popup when I am on my Lockscreen in WidgetLocker.
I causes me to miss out on some sms because when WidgetLocker locks my screen again after the popup GO SMS think it is because I have read the sms, and then it removes all notifications of ever receiving a new sms.
When using stock lockscreen the popup is visible after unlocking my screen, but not i WidgetLocker. Any solution to get this working? It works find with Handcent, so I guess this has something to do with GO

Go into WidgetLocker settings, and then Popups. Click the box that says "Hide SMS Popups" and see how that works. If it doesn't work, you might have to figure out the package name of the GO SMS alert and do "Hide other".
Hide sms popup doesn't work, go sms seems to override it.
Under "hide others" I got rid of the popup, but it also removes all kinds of notifications from GO SMS. I used com.jb.gosms
This is a bug in GoSMS. GoSMS is prematurely dismissing the notification when their activity is paused, even if the activity is paused by the system like during an incoming phone call or when WidgetLocker takes over. The Android API provides onUserLeaveHint specifically for an activity to use to know if it should dismiss the notification or not, however GoSMS does not use this.
I've contacted them multiple times about this issue and received no response.
A user has reported a work around, though it's suboptimal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13407339&postcount=1195
The work around with gosms/WL to make the led blink on new messages is to always have an unread text. Use whatever means you want, sent yourself a text; I use something simple, "DO NOT ERASE". Upon receipt, do not open, or if you have popups enabled, press 'to do', which leaves it marked unread. Now, for any new texts received, the led will always blink.

how about just putting the gosms widget on the widgetlocker lock screen? That way the last message received will always be there.
I am not interested in having a sms widget on my lock screen.
Regarding the "fix", my phone dont have a notification Led. It this wont be sorted out soon I guess I have to look for a different SMS app, even though I think GO SMS is the best one (except from this bug).
Have you tried Noled? I haven't tried it with GoSMS as I use Handcent but I don't think Go will overide it's notification once activated.
Rather than start a new thread, thought I'd ask if anyone else was able to hear their notification sound when receiving a message as I haven't

I'd say give his suggestion a try anyway. Even though the phone doesn't have a physical LED, the OS itself still supports it, and that might be more important than anything. It's very possible that it'll still work.
gosms released an update yesterday which supposedly fixes this problem.
Hmm, no update in marked for Go sms as I can see
That's weird mine updated and is working fine now
The update showed up today. It is better now, but the popup still gets on top of WidgetLocker, but now it dont remove the notifications when the screen get locked again.
Only thing missing now is "quick compose"

[Q]JB messaging problem

So, i have following problem when receiving sms :
If i, for example, have more than 5 messages from same person (long enough so i have to scroll from first to last), when i recieve sms from that person, when i open it via notification bar, it switches to first message, so i have to scroll all the way down to last one.
Everything is stock JB...
p.s. It looks like this is only happening if i open that sms from lockscreen directly (by pulling notif bar and opening it). If i do it with unlocking screen, it switches to that (last) message...
Help

Giz: The version of Jelly Bean that we have right now is a developer preview, right?
MD: Yes, it's a developer preview so it still has a few bugs that we know about, and obviously a few that we don't know about, but when the devices actually begin shipping in a few weeks you'll see a lot of additional polish go in.

Duplicate Text Notifications on Quick Reply

I am having an issue/annoyance with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S9 and I hope you all are able to help. My device is currently setup so that when I get a text I receive the notification in the bar, I am then able to pull the notification bar down to read a portion or all of the text and am given the option to reply (a short message) directly through this feature. When I do this and click the send arrow and very quickly thereafter I receive another notification as if I had gotten a new or different text when in fact, when I slide the notification bar down, it is just just my own sent text being shown to me. Hopefully this makes sense to some of you. It is really annoying to me. I always thought that in the past if you did a quick reply the notifications would auto go-away unless you actually recieve a new/different text message.
Any insight?
Thanks
Bro, it's not an issue, it's actually helpful in a lot of ways.
For example if I had to reply to an important message without being "online" on whatsapp, I can send many messages from just the notification panel, so I can see the whole conversation from there without opening the app. I think it's a very handy feature.
Simply when you reply to a conversation and you don't need to utilize this feature, just swipe the notification to the left/right and you won't see a notification unless you recieve a new message.

So swipe away the notification once you have sent your message, happens here too if I leave the notification there after replying
I don't see the benefit
I don't use WhatsApp, but regardless I don't need my notification light to keep flashing as a result of me replying to a text via quick reply feature. Like I said, it's just an annoyance for me that I don't recall dealing with on any of my galaxy devices and I was merely trying to see if there was a way to toggle this "feature."

Why can't you swipe the notification away? Two people have already told you that will stop it

Yes, I can read and that's what I already do. The whole purpose of the thread was to see if there was an option to toggle this useless feature off. I would have already read and/or replied to the specific text, thus not needing to have to REacknowldge or "swipe" the notice away for a second time...leaving my light flashing until I go to it 2 times.

You should explain in your first post what you have and have not done so people know before replying....
No, no toggle other than disabling notification LED altogether either system wide or for that app
Phone is obviously thinking your reply is a new message, which in a way it is, although already reading it should inform it that you have read it and it is not new, but as it does not, keep swiping and report to Samsung

this might actually be a sprint issue. the app that you use to do your quick replies, do you know what its called? my S9 doesnt have a feature like that on it and its running the may security patch update, so its not on an old firmware and just missing a new feature.
glitchy stuff like what youre experiencing can be often solved with a factory reset

It's not an app, it's literally the notification pulldown which you can reply from, when you receive a message and pull down the notification to read it, under the message is a reply button, press that and it opens a little reply text box on the notification dropdown, when you press send and turn off the screen it flashes the LED to say there is an unread notification which is actually your reply still sitting in the notification dropdown, only way to stop it is to swipe away

edit: i also verified that the intended recipients got my replies. no notifs for my outbound messages on my device

You have hit the nail on the head! This exactly what I am referring to. No app, just default texting app. Exactly as you described.
SM-G960U on Sprint Network for me.
Most up to date software I believe, at least that's what my device tells me.
