This isn't a huge problem because everything works but it is an annoying item that seems like it should be able to be resolved. I have a widget created in Zooper for the counts of my sms messages and three gmail accounts. The issue is, that the widget doesn't update unless I turn the phone off and on again. So for example, I get an email and it shows a 1 next to that account. I go in gmail and read it. I press my home button to come back to the screen and the counter is still at 1. This doesn't change to 0 until I turn the phone off and on. It also will go to zero when the the minute changes on my zooper-made clock widget.
Any idea how to get my counts widget to update when I've read or cleared my notifications without having to turn my phone off or wait for the minute to change?
I use tasker for a few things and was hoping there was a way I could just set up a task that when I exit sms or gmail apps I can do a force update, but I haven't figured that out.
Thanks for you help
im facing the same problem dude hope a support would be able to explain
I think it's because zooper widget update value is set once per minute. If you will look closely widget updates when - unlock from lockscreen after some time or every time minute passes. It's solution to prevent battery drain. It don't monitor other states than minute change.
Can that be changed ?

Have been doing a bit more customising and almost set up properly but still a few hanging issues:

Sometimes when I unlock the phone, the brightness is set differently even though the ambience of where I am is the same, sometimes it could be dim and others bright and it doesn't really change.
Not fixed - CM7 issue
The Email app doesn't appear to be the best. It's very dark, is there any brighter theme available or maybe suggestion of another app for pop3 mail?
Not really an issue - APP Issue
I'm using GO SMS and unfortunately I'm still having an issue sending group messages, I've the option to seperate each message to each person into its own thread, sent a small group text, only to maybe 10 people yesterday and it split it into 4 separate threads, only 4 separate contacts who I sent it to as opposed to the 10, so where did the other 6 go? I couldn't check delivery status or anything.
Not Fixed -Possible App Issue, possible CM7 issue
Also with GO Dialer EX, I assume it's because I've over 1,900 contacts, but it freezes quite a lot if I'm going through my contacts/groups/adding new etc. Also you can't see the individual times of consecutive missed calls from one contact and if you have a missed call notification in the notification bar, clicking the notification used to clear the notification and bring you to the missed call screen, now it just brings you to the missed call screen but you have to go back to the notification menu to "clear" the notification, again, this didn't happen in sense and clicking to see the missed calls also cleared the notification. I also miss being able to just open up the dialer, press call on a blank field and it would call the last dialled, also with the way the call log is, I don't like that it groups the contacts together, I much prefer being able to see a log based on time only. Also by grouping the contacts together, you can't just click on a recent called contact and it will go to phone them immediately as you could with sense.
Not Fixed: App Issue, plus now discovered, if you have 2 missed calls, clear the notification and get 1 more missed call, the notification will come up again but say 3 missed calls
I miss the fact with Sense, you just clicked the clock and you got to your stopwatch/countdown timer/alarm straight away. Is there any way to get this back? Clicking the clock now brings me to a screen that isn't much use.
Fixed: App Issue - Got a separate stopwatch/countdown timer app and use stock alarm and using Go Weather widget
The included Calendar app widget has a few annoyances, you can't click a number to go straight to dialpad with from within an event, only 1 event is displayed in the widget and to go into details of that event you've to click into open the calendar first and then into the event. Again, the sense calendar app was better and you could also scroll through the events from the widget itself.
Fixed - Assigned swipe up and swipe down action to open calendar from home screen, this makes it just as quick as before to open the calendar app and gets right into the app, also I can now just click numbers and it opens the dialer, not sure what the issue was before but it's working grand now
Twitter widget is also worse than it was in sense, it only shows one tweet at a time as opposed to sense which you could again scroll down which is much handier if you're looking for say updates from AA Road Watch while stuck in traffic and you can just keep your eyes open for the AA logo on a scroll rather than clicking and clicking and clicking to see if they have any updates.
Not really an issue, I don't even use twitter that much
Calculator is too basic compared to sense one too
Fixed - Real calc
Another thing is I used to like to have "camcorder" shortcut instead of "camera" (I just feel it's better to have instant access to record something rather than photo it). You could easily then switch to camera if you want to photo something, there was no camcorder shortcut so I downloaded one, but it opens only the camcorder alone, as opposed to the same thing that you got when clicking the camera, in which you could easy switch between camera and camcorder. Any way to start that same thing, but just in camcorder mode by a shortcut?
Not really an issue, added camera and camcorder shortcut to home screens
Can someone also tell me if the CM7 "File manager" does the same as Astro? I installed Astro before realising there was a file manager there, guess there's no need for both so can I uninstall astro again? I'm only a very basic user that would be copying/pasting and installing apps via astro, so if this can all be done via file manager, I'll just get rid of Astro
Not really an issue, seems astro is better though, you can select multi select files in a folder to edit.move etc and just looks to be more options in general.

A few more issues then using Go Dev Team apps:
on froyo, I had handscent and loved the way if I got a text, the led would be a permanent blue until I read it. I checked this option in go sms too but it doesn't seem to be working at all. I tried flash on at 300ms and then off at 0, I also tried at 300/300 and it didn't seem to flash at all.
Have also noticed a bug in go sms where a different contact name could appear in someone elses text, which happened before with Handscent on froyo, was hoping it would have been fixed. I wonder is it go, or a bug with android itself that's causing this.
Hoping I can sort the above not fixed issues so any advice would be appreciated, the LED notification thing is a strange one, just doesn't seem to work at all for go sms but it may be something conflicting with the CM7 settings or stock settings? Any feedback appreciated!

Note & Thanks
Not sure what your reply means, are you on the dev team for go/cm7 or something? If so, have plenty of suggestions and bugs to report
So i am using the go widgets calander, was previously using jorte on my mytouch4g. i am used to being able to setup a default notification time for any appointment i put in my calanader (ex: 15 minutes.) However i noticed i didnt get any notification today for 3 things. upon further review you only get notifications if you go and set them manually for each event when added. i searched all around the phone for a spot to adjust this so i can go back to normal of just throwing a quick start time for my appointments and go. no luck. anyone else having this issue? anyone got any advice?

I've been wondering why Samsung didn't put this option in also. I miss notifications sometimes and then I realize I never set a reminder to go off. That's the one thing I miss about htc's calendar. Just have to program myself to remember to add the reminder.
I've been having issues with the default email client. Any time I recieve an email notification, the moment I go back to the email app it will FC first hanging the phone for 5 seconds. After I open it, it works fine until the next email comes in and the process starts again.
If I turn notifications off it works just fine. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?
Yes.
sent from my sm-900t.
Good to know it isn't just me. Does anyone know a solution (other then getting a different email app which I will probably do anyway)
Did you freeze/remove any apks? For whatever reason the stock e-mail apk and all the Magazines-related stuff (the thing that starts when pressing home button on home screen or when swiping up from the bottom on the stock launcher) are very much intertwined, to the point that if the Magazines stuff is not available the stock e-mail goes all kinds of wonky.
Hi!
I've been using this phone for almost 2 months but there are things I still haven't been able to figure out. I'm wondering if I just don't know the trick or if it's just not functionalities available with the phone / OS.
How do you take a screenshot? I have tried volume down + power, power + home, installing apps, nothing worked
How do you blacklist a phone number in the stock call app? I can only delete the entry in the history or add it to contacts
For the stock weather widget, connected to Accuweather, I can only update the weather info when GPS is enable (which doesn't make sense!) and even so it updates to data from minimum "10 minutes ago". Did I miss some settings somewhere?
Thanks for the help and sorry for the noob questions
Screenshot - volume down & power. You should get a bar at the bottom of the screen that lets you delete the screenshot, accept it, edit, etc.
I don't think you can block a phone number with the stock dialer app.
No idea about the weather widget; I've never used it.

Screenshot can be taken with three fingers. I use my thumb, index and middle finger and pinch the screen. You can change this in the setting -> gestures & motions.
Not sure about your other two questions.
Hi there
Sometimes when I receive an email the notification will not show up on the phone, that is no sound and no led notification.
However as soon as I press the power button or unlock the screen the notification will pop up.
It is almost as if the device goes to sleep state when screen is turned off.
The emails that I miss at times due to this problem are time sensitive and really important for my work.
Such delays are at times resulting in direct monetary loss.
This was never an issue on my Galaxy Note 3 from which I have upgraded.
Can anyone of you guide and assist me as to which settings need to be changed to get it to work properly.
Many thanks for your time.
I have a simmilar issue here. Some notifications show up normally, like mail and facebook, but other apps only show notifications if i have they are opened.
It's like the system is forcing close those apps.

Still haven't found any solution.
Things I have tried :
1. Going to Power Master > Battery Mode > Balance
Thinking that in other modes it would kill background apps to save power.
2. Went to Power Master > Autostart Manager > Added apps I need notifications to start on system startup.
Apart from the mentioned problem, I see another one.
I opened What's app notification setting and turned Group Notifications off and Message notifications are set to show silently and minimize.
However the app itself changes the setting and forces messages on screen by itself over riding my changes. Have been happening since a long time now no matter how many times I change the settings.
Update if you can find any resolution.
