Make sure in the stock app and in settings, notifications and sound that stock notifications are off

thanks guys, no bueno. It's very strange, I went and changed the sounds in the stock notifications, and turned them off again, and it still gives me the stock notification, with the stock notification sound. It's like it's coming from some where else but where? This just started about a week ago, I don't understand because I've been using handcent forever

Did you install anything from the market that can control notifications?

just figured it out, part of a beautiful widgets update pack had a sms widget, didn't even realize it. I actually wiped everything, used titanium back up, and added apps one by one texting myself in between each add to find it! I did that 18 times before I got to it. Oh well, it's funny now, but it really pissed me off!

hey i'm having the same problem that you were having and i wondering if you remember which beautiful widget you needed to delete that was causing the double notifications. Because this is driving me insane.

Hey I've found out exactly what widget it is,so no need to answer. For anyone that might have this issue. When you download beautiful widgets they came come with a sms widget also. You have to long press on your screen, select widgets, then scroll down to the beautiful widgets there should be a beautiful widget sms. Select that and then the option should come up which has the notification options you need to turn off.

smart bar and hiding apps...after uninstall, their still gone!

so there are a few apps in my drawer that i would like to make disappear...not disable! i downloaded smart bar, because it said it could hide apps, and their hidden alright...and disabled! i quickly uninstalled it and now theyre not showing back up and idk wat to do
grr
on a sidenote, im sure i can get this fixed (i have a nandroid of like 20 minutes before i tried this), but is there a solid option for hiding certain apps in sense?
tia
also, i went to manage applications in hopes to clear the data and theyll reappear...but their not listed. i cleared senses data (because in order for them to take effect, it asked to restart sense) and still no go
starting to get worried guys.

Disable sms notification

I have disabled all notifications in the stock messaging application and I'm still getting the icon at the top bar.. Even when I click on it, it doesn't disappear unless I click "clear". How do I prevent from this icon from appearing every time I get a message??
Did you by chance install beautiful widgets pack 2? That drove me nuts for a few hours, till I figured it out

Get rid of the app icons on the notification bar on Virtous?

Hey yall, I just got my G2 and I've already modded it out the wazoo, the only question I have at the moment is how do I get rid of the currently running apps on the top of the notification bar in Virtuous? It's really bugging me.
Not much of a sense fan here, but I'm assuming you have to turn off notifications for each app inside the app settings...
Not the notifications...this rom has a kind of task killer built into the notifications window

I've seen this same question asked several times, but have yet to see an answer posted. So I will go out on a ledge and say you can't.

Im running Virtuous 0.8.1 and dont have any apps in my notification bar, are you sure its not an app you installed apart from the Virtuous rom, there is no built in task killer that ive found apart from the andriod "Manage applications" or the "Running services" in the menu/settings/applications drawer, but both of these do not put anything in the notification bar.
He's talking about the row of recently used apps in the pull-down notification bar. This is a 'feature' of the new version of Sense - the only way to get rid of it would be for the ROM devs to remove it.
I'm sure you could tinker with something like the framework or something to disable it, but I wouldn't know the first thing about it. There's no easy way to do it, basically.

Oh, yeah, I have those too, dont really seem to bother me though, not a task killer just a link to recently used apps like you said.
Ugh....It's really bothering me...enough to possibly go back to CM6

Like I said in my previous post, about there are others with the same issue (doesn't bother me), but if enough of you contact HTC about this, they could possibly add an option to show or not in later releases.

[Q]Calendar widget?

I just got ADW launcher and I need a calendar widget to replace the stock one.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I'd like one similar to the stock month calendar widget. One that shows the whole month, some kind of bullet or marker on days that have an event, and some kind of text box showing the event for the day you touch.
Thanks.

I second that question/request. I wonder if theres a way to use the stock one with other launchers, it seems to be the only stock widget thats missing if i remember correctly.

Actually there's a couple more I need to find replacements for too.
The task manager widget that displays the number of active apps and takes you to the task manager if pressed.
And the double clock widget that will let you display two different clocks, with time zone and location of your choosing displayed.

Thanks! I'm trying it out right now. There's still a few things from the stock one I miss though. It doesn't have a widget with a text box on the bottom that can show the whole event. Instead it shows small text in the day box that gets cut off, and you have to click on that day to see the whole event title. The tasks seem to be a little limited too. Like you can't add a location that you can navigate to later. I'm gonna keep playing with it though. Thanks.
i use the Go Launcher EX Calendar widget, it's simply the best available out there

yeah I saw Go launcher yesterday during my search and told myself I gotta try that one. Looks like a lot of good stuff on that one. I especially like that task manager widget that they have.
Thanks for the recommendation AllGamer! I'm using Go Launcher now and loving it.
lilant510, if you're still missing stuff from the stock, I suggest you try that one. Has everything I was missing from stock and more. Better than ADW IMO.
AllGamer,
Do you use the Go launcher toggle widget? Does it work ok for you?
When I press the GPS toggle, it goes to the GPS settings menu, instead of just automatically toggling it off/on.
The 4g toggle sometimes does and sometimes doesn't work also. Seems to depend on if the wifi is toggled on with it or not.
Wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
i do not use the Go Toggle
because the ROM already has all the on/off switches i need build in

they also have a Transparent skin for the Go Calendar Widget, it makes it really elegant
I've used literally ever launcher available to date and imho Go launcher is the absolute best! And all the Widgets that come along with it put it over the top. There are so many skins fir the Widgets and I use the calander widget which is my favorite.

widgets dont update??

Hello
I am hoping someone can help? I have recently upgraded from htc one m7 to 16gb lg g3. I am ising the stock launcher. My issue is my widgets dont reliably update. I use timely alarm clock, but the widget rarely shows the right time.. I use facebook, but this rarely updates and sometimes locks up. I use a battery percentage widget, and this rarely updates...
Any ideas, as i have never had this problem on any phone or tablet??

Do you use Greenify? Or any other battery optimization app as such? This usually happens when you "greenify" (hibernate) the apps that have widgets.

Thanks for the quick reply. I dont use any battery saving app, or greenify. I have never been concerned about battery, as normally have a charger nearby!!
Any other ideas??
I am not using any battery saving apps..

Hello Do you mean your widgets don't update with updates from Google Play Store? If so.. Open Play Store and tap on the installed app. Then choose 'automatic update'. Also make sure that your account sync is turned on.. From the pull down menu select the 'Sync' button.. Hope this helps :good:

I don't use the clock widget but if you tap on the widget.. Maybe you can change the settings as to when it updates? As for the battery widget.. You can try this ... It places a neat looking colourful battery icon on the top left of the screen or you can opt for the widget .. Do you have your sync turned on?
This affects all my widgets, not just these 2.. Sync is on.. On my nexus 7, my old htc one, my old s4, i never had any problems?? Desperately. Trying to avoid a reset.. Even facebook does not update reguarly.. Sometime it locks as well, so i cannot use the widget to post or open facebook..

Come back after you've reinstalled the widgets or resetting your device. Let us know if you've solved this annoying issue
Great news. All working now.. Tried nova launcger and that worked fine, so guessed it was a problem with lg launcher. Went settings, apps, lg home and reset it and ckeared cache. Set up hone screen again and now all ok!!

Congrats mate! Glad you finally got it working.. Enjoy your device :good:
But it's really strange that the widgets gave you issues on the stock launcher
same issue, same fix
Stock launcher and widgets went dead. Cleared the cache on the 'home' app, and everything came back and sped up a bit too.
