Messaging Notification Help

When I get a text message I get this notification in my drop down bar that when i tap on just takes me to handcent, but it won't go away without me hitting clear in the drop down bar. it isn't the handcent notifier either. i don't think it is the regular messaging.app notification either as it wouldn't open handcent and it'd go away when I tap it. Here is a picture:

Did you make sure that notifications are shut off completely in the stock messaging app?

Yeah when I first installed. I can't even find the messaging app in my app drawer now. This has to be some sort of other notification because like I said it sends me to handcent and will not go away without tapping clear.

I'm really hoping someone here will be able to help me with this. It is annoying beyond belief I even had to disable my handcent notifications to stop the double notifications. I can't even check the default messaging app because it seems to not be here anymore, i don't even see it in system/app(s)
thanks guys
Edit: Incase you have signatures off I am running Cyanogen 6.1
Edit 2: Found messaging. Forgot I had it hidden with launcher pro. Notifications are definitely disabled on it too.

Update on this: I've went through every recently installed program and can find NOTHING that indicates some sort of notification. This is *really* bothering me because if I just reinstall CM6 I can't do a full system + data restore with titanium pro because i'll just be in the same boat.

I had this same issue with Handcent, and uninstalled it. Never knew why it would do that, so I turned to chompSMS. No issue since.

So I restored to the 21st (2 days before it started happening) and picked just a select few apps to restore, without data and solve it. I guess my only option now is going to be to do a wipe and fresh install, but I just don't feel like doing that right now. Really wish someone would figure out an easier way to do this
Edit: Guess i'm going to go ahead and wipe and reflash. Will let you know the results.

Yea well I can comfortably say an apparently doesn't cause it since when it happened to me I hadn't installed an apparently In days.

Ah okay. I don't think it was an app honestly. My belief is that it was some sort of corrupted data file. After I wiped and did a fresh install and redownloaded all of my apps from the market it works just fine.

Its something to do with gingerbread. It deleted gallery for me, then messaging and today it deleted the clock. I took it to Verizon and they are sending me a new one. Hoping it has Froyo on it. May be something you could look into if you want froyo possibly.
You have to do a factory reset from the bootloader to get it to come back i think. Thats what did it for me.

It has nothing to do with Gingerbread, but rather the Gingerbread update. Most likely, it has everything to do with Sense and an update HTC did to it.
Good luck getting Froyo on it too.

Just ran the update. I had already done a factory reset and my clock was still working by tapping the widget prior to this update. After the update my clock still works but I still don't have the clock app in my app drawer. So I still either have to tap the clock widget or search for the clock app to get to it. Haven't noticed anything different yet.

Yes you have to factory reset the phone after the GB OTA update. My market disappeared and gmail after the OTA. Factory Reset fixed everything except for alarm clock. One can do it through the settings>sd and phone storage.

The alarm and clock app will most likely be broken until HTC fixes it. They know of this issue. Factory reset will not fix this.

Update is rolling out now. Check and you'll have it.

I assume those running a rooted GB Ginger Sense ROM for example should avoid updating ?

[Q] Strange "missing icons" bug with Ice Cream Sandwich?

Has anyone experienced this bug? I've seen it about 3-4x already. I can't pinpoint what's causing it. I think it might be due to the use of live wallpapers but I'll update if I can find the cause.
Anyway, what happens is when I wake up the phone, there will be ZERO icons or widgets on my home screens. There is absolutely nothing!
Also, when I open up the app drawer, there are no icons in there as well!
There are 2 ways to get it back to normal again. I can open up the task manager and open an existing app that way and then go back to the home screen. Or, I can reboot the phone.
Anyone else seeing this?
UPDATE:
It just happened again, screenshots:

If you're still on stock and haven't unlocked your phone, I'd suggest taking it back to the store for an exchange... Without rooting, the only answer I might be able to provide would be temporary at best. Besides, if this is happening out-of-the-box (i.e. nothing done to it by the user), then you've been sold a defective product. What you're describing is not normal behavior for this device by any means.

This happens when a game or app uses alot of RAM (Deadspace, Shadowgun etc) but it should redraw I'd it doesn't its odd.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Just came in to say something similar happens to me, but its only temporary, and only one icon. I started a thread about it back in December, but didn't get any responses.
It usually happens on my phone when:
a) I install a new app from the market
b) I exit an app and go back to the homescreen
Scrolling to a different home screen will make it reappear.
This is the only 'bug' I've noticed on my phone, and I believe it is related to software. I'm not returning my phone because of it, I'm just waiting for 4.03 and hoping it gets fixed...
BTW, I'm on Stock 4.02 rooted (LTE)

same issue with a tablet
I'm having the same issue that you have described with an ASUS Transformer tablet TF101. The only way to recover is as you have described. I'm downloaded Beautiful Widgets (none active) and will remove, but as you've noted that it didn't resolve your issue, I'm not hopeful that it will resolve mine.
BTW, I ran honeycomb on this tablet since October and NEVER had this issue. I received ICS as an OTA firmware upgrade three days ago, and have had this problem repeatedly since.

Market fixed at 240 dpi with other LCD densities in build.prop

Hey guys,after a while I realized that quite a lot of people prefer lower than stock LCD densities on their phones.At first I thought it was stupid,until I tried it and now I can't go back to 240 without swearing because everything is too big.
My problem,as everyone else's,is with the Market not showing apps as compatible.So two days ago I stumbled upon this guide for modifying the Market.apk.I did everything the guy said to the letter(although I signed using Signapktik on my phone instead of SignApk),and it worked at first.I don't know how and why,but is stopped working after a while and it still doesn't work.I've modified more Market apk's,including the newest 3.5.15,but it still doesn't work.
Below is attached the latest one I made.I think,if someone can do something to help,many people will benefit from this.
Thanks in advance guys!

Bump!

Lol, is somebody else confirmed is working just for some time or for a long time? From which thread is that guide? This market issue is really, really a big pain for me. I will be glad to help you and other somewhat to fix this issue.

Yay!Someone cares! Lol

Yes,this thing with the Market is a pain in the butt.The guide was just what some guy in the Android Themes and Apps section followed to mod Market 3.4.6 .In his thread reports were the same.It worked for some time and then stopped.I think it didn't work for everyone though.
However,my knowledge on apk editing is less than minimal.So I hoped that someone more knowledgeable than me would take it from here.I tried and,for the time being,failed.Maybe I will try again tomorrow...

Turns out that there is a temporary solution to density problems with the market.We just have to follow a certain procedure.So,supposing we all want to lower our lcd density and not increase it,we should do the following in the given order(as LordClockan's IceColdSandwich rom says-it's based on AOKP I think):
i)Using whatever method you like(I prefer Root Explorer,but you can also do it via other apps or even adb) change ro.sf.lcd_density=240 in your build.prop to ro.sf.lcd_density=160.
ii)Reboot.
iii)Once booted,go to Settings>Applications>Application Management(Or whatever,my menus are Greek)>"All" tab and find Market/Google Play Store.Clear its data.
iv)Go back to your homescreen,open Market/Play store and hit accept in the prompt.
v)Then again,change your lcd density to whatever value you want.Mine is ro.sf.lcd_density=200 for example.
vi)Check if it works.I suggest searching for Mobile Odin in Play Store because it shows up as incompatible with non-normal densities.You can check with any app you know that is incompatible with low densities.If it works,you're okay.If it doesn't,repeat from step (i).
I found that,if not followed to the letter,it won't work,so don't skip any steps.I hope this helps until a permanent solution shows up.Unless this is a permanent solution after all...

I haven't tried the above method yet but this version of the market works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23336920
You'll need to make sure market updater is uninstalled but thanks for this, next flash I'll try this out.

Well,I'll make sure to give that a try next time I get trouble(almost sure I will ).Thanks
However,what makes the method I posted effective,is that it will work with any version of the Market,new or old.I for one am using latest 3.5.15 with no issues.

Can anybody help with the issue i am having in touchwiz. Changed the density to 200 and get following screen issue.

Well, yes: TouchWiz isn't designed to run on any resolution, so you're having this problem. The Email app and Dialer are smaller than normal - they're not handling other densities than 240. Strangely, Messaging works just fine.

Thanks. Oh well back to 240
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Why ? unless you have poor vision (which I can understand), everything looks much better at a higher density; you should see it on 160, it's like a shrunk tablet
Just get a better launcher (Apex Launcher or Go Launcher are both good) which can be adjusted for the new screen density and you're good to go ! perhaps get a new email app and a new dialer if their small size bothers you.

Tried launcher pro and it was fine. But the issue with email and dialer would annoy me.

[Q] How to get lockscreen back to stock in stock rom?

I can't believe I am actually asking this as a question. But I was neither capable to remove some 3rd party lockscreen from my gf's entirely stock SGN (rom-wise), nor did I manage to google for help.
Tried Go Locker and LockBot. I can choose a different Lockscreen but this new fella is now before the one I try to get rid off. So we actually have 2 lockscreens now. The 2nd one is easy to switch back off but the one below stays right where it is.
Here's what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, you can set the phone to lock pattern. Works fine except for the lockscreen that again succeeds all other lockscreens. It's always the last barrier before you can use the phone.
Please be so kind and let me know where else to look for turning it off

The lock screen app your using, need to be deactivated... if that cannot happen, go to settings----applications---find that app----open it-----and press clear defaults-----bang problem solved

Thanks for the reply. My girlfriend says she never installed a lock screen app (intentionally). I was suspecting the range of Go products but uninstalling most of them (after going through all of their settings) didn't help either.
The question is what app might have caused it. And why isn't there an app that lets you default to stock? That's why I installes Go Locker and LockBot in the first place.
Actually this is quite a tragic flaw in Android. My gf totally diggs her shiny new SGN but is totally pissed by this lock screen. She never wanted it. She hates it. Now she starts hating the phone. She said she wanted a replacement...
