Non-Typical Duplicate Reminder Scenario - Touch Pro, Fuze General

At first glance, this seems like a simple problem: duplicate reminders! We've all experienced them. There is plenty of software to deal with them. They are usually very easy to fix.
But I have a duplicate reminder issue I just cannot figure out on my Touch Pro. I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this.
First of all, it doesn't appear to actually be duplicate reminders in the traditional sense. There is only a single entry in the Notification Queue (confirmed in MemMaid and dotfred's task manager). So, please don't reply with "download memmaid."
What happens is this. Every so often, I get a calendar reminder pop-up that appears twice (ONLY the pop-up appears twice -- in the calendar there is only ONE appointment). Basically, it will show "two reminders" and I can flip between them by press left and right, but they correspond to the SAME appointment. I can postpone one and the other is still there. I can postpone that one, but they'll reappear at the next interval. I'm not sure what happens if I postpone one and dismiss the other. I imagine they'll both dismiss since it points to the same entry in the NQ.
It seems to happen most often to recurring appointments (but not always). Each time a dupe recurs, I get two nice little pop-ups. Sometimes deleting the recurring appointment and recreating it fixes that. Sometimes rebuilding the notification queue in memmaid will fix non-recurring appointments (doesn't help recurring).
But this is very annoying because I can't find a common pattern or solution.
Things to note:
1. ActiveSync'ed to Exchange 2007 with Push enabled.
2. Syncing last 30 days of calendar appts
3. Nightly MemMaid clean (every NQ options selected except "rebuild" in my nightly because I don't want postponed reminders to pop-up in the middle of the night)
4. Stock Sprint ROM and Radio
Anybody have any clues? Thanks!

Duplicate Notifications

I've been getting a ton of duplicate notifications on my phone the last week. I'm on WM6 and have only installed S2U2, task manager and memmaid. Since installing those apps, I've noticed that I get duplicate appointment and alarm reminders.
I've used memmaid to clean up dups but they keep coming back. I did not notice this prior to installs of these apps.
Any ideas?
Had the same problem since installing memmaid, get at least 2 repeat notifications for each diary reminder
Had the same problem. u must remove the corrupt notifications by hand, using memmaid. Just go one by one and see what does not make sence.

Home screen doesn't update appointments

Hi,
I think a similar problem has been asked earlier, but I've had no luck. My "Rappy" won't update appointments correctly on the home screen. And no, I don't use the big clock so that only 1 appointment is displayed - I always use the small one. The bug has no clear pattern as far as I can see - but usually the home screen shows only 1 of tomorrows appointments (when I have 4 that day - and no all-day appointments). Sometimes, but rarely, it displays some of tomorrows appointments, and after 0:00, some of the next appointments may appear.
I use TouchFlo3D yes, but even turning it off, the bug is still there - so it's probably not TF3D. I've checked the options for today, and even changed the calendar options (even though TF3d overrides it and removes the v next to Calendar). I've tried changing today time-out to something else than 6 hours - no luck. I've tried editing or deleting the appointments, and making them over again - no luck.
Any ideas? I've recently hard-reset it and it messed up all my text-messages - so I'm hoping there is some other way than to hard-reset it again? Also, I'm probably kinda weird but I like the simplistic look on Home screen with the small clock - it's simple and fast to see the clock and upcoming appointments (when that works ), and don't really want to install something to replace TF3D. (Still a n00b ) Still, as I mentioned earlier the bug also happens while TF3D is disabled.
Any suggestions?

Verizon S3 Notifications go off multiple times- how do i stop this?

I have the default calendar set to not give me and sound or notification and i have the paid version of Business Calender set up to notify me when a reminder pops up. The problem is, i have it sent to go off 1 time and 1 time only in the settings(repeat disabled), yet it repeats itself until i open the notification which is very annoying. This same issue happened on the default calender with Business calenders notifications/sounds disabled.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this, its getting ridiculous when my phone goes off constantly for meetings until i force it to stop. On my thunderbolt, i never had this issue with the same app.
It seems like any notification is doing this(had other apps going off multiple times also)
Rooted with stock PROPER Remake of Full Rooted Stock Image (aka Root66)
Found out it was the sound file i used, a .OGG file from my old thunderbolt. Converted to MP3 and the issue was solved.

Samsung Interface Not Updating

All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Security Issue - "Syncing Messages"

I used to work for a large tech company. I installed the security software on my phone and gave permissions to enable me to accept email shortly after starting a new position with new management. My phone began acting interestingly (as did my superior and those who would have access to my phone's data). It began phantom vibrating (two short successive bursts) and it would randomly show a "Syncing Messages" notification icon for about 5 seconds at a time at random times when I would use the phone. After putting the "Notification Log" widget on my phone I learned that the short visual-notificationless phantom vibrate was a "Syncing Gmail" notification. I removed a certain email address from my phone and the phantom vibes ceased. The "Syncing Messages" notification, however, persists. And randomly sometimes, when switching apps, the icon used to represent the app in the menu will be a Android system icon instead of the app icon. This is completely random.
The people that would've had permissions over my phone are highly skilled programmers in Linux and what not. I know it's far fetched to think they would've hacked into my phone (and still are). For additional context, I once permanently deleted an old Facebook profile (not just from my phone but from the ether) using my phone and when I confirmed the deletion via an email that was sent to me, Facebook told me I had initiated the deletion FROM A LINUX DESKTOP.
Attached is a photo of the expanded "Syncing Messages" notification within "Notification Launcher".
I'm curious what you think. Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I was just reviewing this post and the page went to the white dropped connection webpage with the shrieking Android guy. Again, could be coincidence, but also maybe not.
