What launcher are you using? Because this has nothing to do with the power control widget, nor does it affect it in any way.

That is correct. Blacklist the messages and you won't see them or have a notification sound or image in the bar.

The new voicemail showing up on boot is a CM6 issue with some phones. Nothing I can do about that, some phones just have that ghost notification

so i flashed the voicemail zip the other day i got the app. but it doesn't work. If i call my cell phone with another phone it rings and i don't pick up. Than instead of saying you have reached the sprint voicemail box and so on it just says the person you have called is not in service and sometimes it doesn't say anything and just hangs up. Also i put my number in as the voicemail number and if i call voicemail from my phone it takes me there and says to put my passcode in, so its working but not if someone calls me. Why am i having this problem?

Type *38 into dialer, and then Cal yourself from another phone again.

This is a first for me. I can't find the actual App so I can click and listen to my Visual Voicemail. Do I have to call to get my messages, or are they downloaded to the phone and I'm just missing where they are?? Thanks.

The app should be there, try flashing again and tell me how it goes.

Handcent - VVM
I have installed the Sprint VVM and Handcent. When I get a voicemail I still get the text message through the messaging app that comes with the rom. So, it does not have a chance to block through Handcent. Any ideas...

In handcent, long press on the text thread from the VVM number. Select blacklist, and the notifications from the messages will stop, along with the thread itself being hidden.

I did that but I still get the messages through the normal messaging not Handcent. Do I have to do this in a certain order? I have tried rebooting the phone. I had someone text me to see where the message would come to and it shows up in Handcent but the notification in the notification bar takes me to the normal messaging not Handcent.

Can you disable the stock messaging in the rom?
Thanks,
David

Go into your messages app, hit menu, options, and then uncheck notifications. That way you don't get 2 notifications for every message, you only get handcent's.

[Q] Serendipity 7 issues

I'm having a couple of issues with this rom. 1st is the email apk I installed from the web site is when I get new emails (exchange) they apear in the notifacation bar like normal but they just keep counting new ones in the bar everytime, I'm up to like 90 something in a day.
2nd is the video camera, when I select limits for mms and start videoing the screen will go black and say the camera application has failed. Any ideas?

have you tried to flash again. in my experiance sometimes just flashing is easier than trying to find the fix THEN apply it. may mess other stuff if you dont know what your doing. if a Re-Flash does not work then you will have to go this rout and find out why its not working. i had that email thing happen.....it actually took me a lil digging to find an email APK that wasnt giving me some sort of issues.

Yes I have tried to reflash twice with the same result with the email problem and video camera problem as well.

well then if the camera works on other roms. i will just pull the camera files from there and paste them into the appropriate places and see if that helps the FC's
but thats not as easy as just picking another Rom.

S7 doesn't have the 30fps fix if thats is the video problem you are refering to.
Friends don't let friends flash and drive.

I'm having an issue with texts and calls not turning the screen on. On any other rom, when I get a text, the screen lights up to show the lockscreen for a few seconds. Doesn't seem to be doing that on S7; is there a setting for that? Also, calls will ring/vibrate for several seconds before the screen turns on to allow me to answer.

I wanted to try S7 but I do not want to lose functionality of my front camera.

sounds pretty simple, skunk.
you flash S7. If you lose the cam, the flash something else.
mikeymike is also around, especially in the i9000 forum.
he may know more specific what mod/files is needed.

Must be some 3rd party app you installed.
It has either "draw over apps" rights (Settings->Security->Draw over apps) or even root rights (if you are rooted).
remove the permissions one by one and reboot to find the culprit app

I hope it's an app but I uninstalled everything I added to the device yesterday and it's still there. It goes on and off periodically. A reboot didn't fix it.
Yellow font 'offline' in a gray bar.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes... Exact same thing.

I have the same issue on my Pixel XL. Just started about 15 minutes ago. Haven't downloaded any new apps in at least a week.

Can you guys go to settings->developer options: running services and send a screenshot of all running services?
also are you guys rooted?
Also pulling a logcat might shed some light into it.

Well this is both scary and good. It just stopped. If it starts again I'll take screen shots and post.
No I'm not rooted.

Well cancel that... It started again... Incoming requested info.

I'm having this problem on my Pixel XL. As soon as I deleted "Zedge" it went away. I redownloaded it and I am trying to replicate the "offline" message to see if it goes away again when I uninstall Zedge.

@Nsain1 got Zedge installed as well. Wonder how it can draw an overlay though without the "draw over apps permission".
ES File Explorer is also often a goo candidate when it comes to weird ads and such.

I stopped using ES Explorer a long time ago. It's not installed on my phone.

So I uninstalled Zedge and ES Explorer and rebooted. The message is still coming up. I appreciate the suggestions. This is odd for sure.

Not rooted. I wonder what app is causing this, it will notify offline even though i am connected to wifi, and it will not show up if i will turn off wifi.

Zeke125 - By chance you don't have control 4 do you?

How to stop incoming calls from preventing you to use the phone?

Hi...
I finally got the phone 3 days ago, but noticed that when i get incoming calls i can't use the phone untill the call ends or untill i answer it, what stopping me from playing / writing messages of even use Facebook app untill: 1. I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.
I had other phones that i could just press the "Home" button and continue with my things.
Is there any solution for that?

I can't find the dialer in playstore, i downloaded from apkmirror and i can't install to my phone. Maybe can y help me?

Ahh yeah you need a specific one. This works well
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-root-google-dialer-10-1-161735957-t3636608
grab version 17 or newer

Great thanks
But the problem is that i think i have to root the phone, because even after installing the latest version and allowing permissions to the Dialer app i still get the calls from the default HTC original dialer.. Im using the last version (17)

you need to go into app settings and make google dialer the default phone app

Iv'e put the dialer as default everywhere also in the app category, it still only shows the calling icon on top of the screen, also won't show any contacts names when incoming calls..
Did you got this to work in your phone perfectly?
Aren't there any other apps that can be used instead?

Yes it works perfectly.
Set as default, enable all permissions for it and it will work fine. Plenty of us are using it without any issue. What do you mean by "only shows calling icon on top of the screen". That sounds like the google dialer which is what it is supposed to do and not take up the entire screen.

I don't know, it just wont work properly on my device, i did all what you said above and restarted the device and still.. i only get the icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen when call enters.
I gave up and downloaded "Drupe" - wonderfull app really does the job well and also looks great (cost me about 4$ - worth it), better than the default HTC's app.
Thanks for the help!

You have to go into setting>application>Phone>application>Phone application, select the app you installed, then you may see the different calling screen when you call someone / receive a call. (not a football fan so installed normal v17)

[HELP] Notification Badge numbers not working

The notification badge numbers arent working for me. Already changed the config, but it's not changing. Even if i select "circle", they dont show up. Anyone have a suggestion about how to fix it?!

Have you tried checking the actual notification settings for any certain app to see if "Show App Icon Badges" are enabled? (See 1st screenshot)
Also, try installing a different launcher (Lawnchair) to see if they show?
I use Lawnchair and mine are showing fine.. (you need to give notification permission in Lawnchair settings.

My phone same as yours last time... Notification count not showing.... Install different launcher there is notification... I have to factory reset it...

Good to know... Only disadvantage is the notification will gone if you open the apps... Eg if you have 10 unread whatsapp when you open whatsapp all the notification is cleared... Other phone when you open whatsapp notification is still there unless when you open the chat itself.... The unclick chat will still show in other phone...

Yes, i've also noticed that. Didn't like it too, but... what can we do? \o/
at least i'm able to see the badges on icons again and it makes easier to check the apps that have new things for me
