On the lockscreen, on the second slide down thing there is an ! with unknown beside it. After you unlock the phone you can't find that notification any where!
Already checked the notification bar and went and cleared the ram. Still the same. Does anyone know what it is trying to tell me or how to clear it?
I have factory reset the phone one time and it went away, but then came back in a day.
That's where the date goes. I see "unknown" there occasionally. I assume that this is because the phone hasn't gotten the date from the cell network yet, but still has the time cached internally. For me, it generally goes away after a bit.
The one time it didn't go away fairly quickly was when I had Handcent SMS installed and had configured my phone to use it and it's notifications, generally disabling the stock Messaging app and it's notifications. It stayed "unknown" while I had Handcent installed. When I removed Handcent and turned the stock SMS app back on it went back to showing the date.
I didn't test this rigorously, and have no idea if it's causal or just a coincidence. Has anyone else observed behavior like this?
thanks
I'm sure that it's handcent then, I haven't uninstalled it yet. But I bet that's it.
Thanks for the reply. Contacted handcent support about the bug.
I don't think its a handcent issue. I've had the same problem. The only way I got it to go away was to open the stock messaging app and view my last conversation. Then its off the lock screen. Try that. If it works for you...its an issue with stock software. I've had a fewb problems with the stock app. Wish I could just remove it lol

Found it
It seems if you turn off notifications in the Stock messaging app it gets cranky.
I turned them back on and it shows the time on the bottom lock screen.
I then went back and turned them back off and the time stayed, we'll see how long.
This is beyond annoying.
Screenshot, please?
Happns 2 me too glad 2 know I am not alone...

i think that this is a common thing, whenever i dont check my text msg or randomly click the power button, i would see the "!" at the bottom screen..dont know why
I had this problem too on my Sidekick 4G. I am using Handcent but I don't know if that's the cause for me.
What I did to solve this problem: I went into the stock messaging app, into the menu, where I chose "Browser Message". (This menu option is not always present, but apparently shows up when you get a message from your cell carrier.) There was one message listed, and I deleted it. After that, my lock screen displayed the date again.
When you get mms messages, it goes to the stock messaging app as well, so just go in the stock messaging app and view it in there and it will go away. Or, before your SD card loads, messages will go straight to the stock messaging app. Just view all your threads in there, click each one, and the unknown will go away.

I just got my Infuse on thursday and installed the Refuse mod on Friday, then over the weekend I installed Handcent SMS to replace the default messaging app.
It works great and all, except it doesn't save it's settings. Sometimes it will keep the last settings it had, but other times it just randomly decides it wants to pretend like I've never ran it and delete all of it's settings and shows me the release notes when I open it.
Is there anyway to get this to stop?
It happend to me too. If its a big deal to you I use infused and it dosnt do it.

Well I guess I'll switch to Infused then. I like how you can theme Handcent and customize it a lot. I tried chompSMS since I heard it was more or less the same, but I don't like how they have ads and would rather donate money to a dev making a new ROM here than someone making an SMS app.
Is it possible to back up all of my apps/data for them and then restore them when I get Infused running? I don't really want to have to go through and download all of my apps again.
You can use TB.

Awesome, thanks for your help!
I was having the same issue with Handcent and I'm using Infused 1.2.1. I got tired of dealing with having to reset all my setting and specifically the notification sound. I moved Handcent and all its plug ins onto the phone and it didn't fix the issue. Now I'm using SMS Go Pro and I haven't had any issues. It's just as customizable as Handcent IMO.

I'm using Infused 1.2.1 and I have it on the memory card and its working perfectly.
Go sms, handcent and sms pop up all reset after short while. I got fed up changing my fonts and settings and I don't use then anymore. Very frustrating.

Hmmm, interesting. I don't know how you have yours setup but it seems like you have it much like I had mine. Every time I would reboot, the icon would disappear from the dock. It also would arbitrarily change the notification sound to this weird long ass notification tone that I could not stand. I like Postbox not whatever the one it was selecting. I reflashed the ROM and wiped cache and it still did the same thing. No issues with SMS Go pro (for now) so I'm sticking with it.
I know this is a little old, but I was having issues with Handcent resetting all the time...here's how I fixed it. You have to be rooted...after you uninstall the app, go to the dbdata folder, then database. find the folder that is com.handcent, etc. Delete it, then reinstall the app. My bet would be everyone that's not having issues have only installed it once, and never uninstalled it.
I don't know about the settings on handcent but I use go SMS and it works awesome and is very customizable. Hope it helps.

I have the Infused ROM 1.5.3, and every so often I'll go to type something, and no letters will show up in the text box! The keyboard thinks it's typing, and even the predictions show up sometimes. However, no text is ever typed into the text box. Sometimes restarting my launcher fixes it, but lately I've had to resort to restarting the phone. So frustrating. This happened on Infused 1.5.0 too, but it seemed to go away. Now all the sudden after upgrading to 1.5.3 it's happening a lot. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

this might sound weird but i swear the only problems i have with my phone are when im connected to our microcell. texts failing, keyboard not working, widgets not responding, calls not calling until 7 minutes after i hit "call."
Not sure what causes it or what to do to fix it but I have had the same problem on Refuse 1.6 and 1.7 mainly when using Andchat (irc client) have encountered it less in yaaic but have never experienced it in other areas of typing (messaging, browsers and such)
Sorry not of help but its not just u.
I've had the same problem, with no ROM on my phone at all, rooted stock. However when it happens to me i can just hit back until im at the home screen and then open the text message app up again. It always works when i do this. What keyboard are u using? ive got the "Android 2.3 Keyboard."
i have that keyboard, too. and the samsung and swiftkey. none of them work. what's even more bizarre is that it seems as though when i'm connected to wifi AND the microcell, i can't send texts or make calls and that's when my phone freaks out and the keyboards don't work. i turned off my wifi today and my texts finally sent and i haven't had an issue since.
Yeah had the same problem. All I did was just closed my text and reopened it. Kept doing it until it worked again.

Same problem
I've had the same problem since I got my phone, I've been searching for almost two years on how to fix this problem, usually people don't believe me when I post on this. It seems to get worse the longer I use it and eventually it gets so bad I have to reflash my phone. I'm pretty sure its an app that I use, which would explain why I don't see it at first as I don't backup my apps, just redownload them when I need them. Is there an easy way to get a list of apps from your phone that we could post and cross reference? It doesn't matter which keyboard I'm using. It seems to happen mostly with the default SMS messanger, though it might just be that I use it the most and thats when I notice it, it does happen occasionally with other text fields.
Just as described, the keyboard won't type when I initially open it. The keyboard seems to be working, predictive text works, but nothing appears in the text field. If I wait, type on the keyboard a lot (maybe thats just part of waiting) back out of the keyboard repeatedly or restart the app it seems to fix it temporarily. It doesn't seem to matter which apps are running when it happens.
Any ideas people?
I was constantly having this issue on the GB ROMs I used. In both revenant and infused it would happen. I could recreate it by letting my phone lock while the keyboard was open. It always happened to me in stock messaging and Google Voice because I would pause trying to think of what to type. It became so annoying having to kill the app responsible or sometimes restart my phone that I decided to switch back to JB. I'm on the unofficial CM 10.1 now and haven't had one issue with the stock keyboard or Google Keyboard.
I never did try another keyboard or messaging app. You could try forcing your phone to stay awake longer if you notice the same thing I did. If it's just happening randomly then I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you besides that the jelly beans are delicious; you should give into peer pressure and try one.

I have had this issue with my Infuse also, running CM 10.1 Cyber sgs-IV style ROM. It isn't as bad as some of y'all though, it seems to just hang for a few seconds while I'm typing, then the words will catch up. Only seems to happen when I have between 200-500 messages in a thread, so I was thinking it was a memory issue.. but I'm no developer.
I've used GoSMS for some time now. I love that i can customize it to my hearts desire and that it has a lot of themes. I ran it on GB with no issues. But I've tried several ICS ROMs and they all seem to cause lag and freezes. Fort some reason the pop up function and the app are not in synch. One is faster or slower than the other causing the app to freeze and force close on occasion. Has anyone had this problem?
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I use it with superlite 5.0 and have none of the problems you are having. You could try fixing the permissions via CWM or trying a cache/dalvik wipe. I would bet fixing your permissions would solve it.
Haven't had that problem but just had to delete gosms today because NO texts were going through. The second I deleted the app everything started again. Also when pressing on a contacts picture to call, numbers don't show up only what seems like code does.

I am using GO SMS with ICS stock leak and all is fine. Messages recieve and send normally. MMS is the same as well, all working correctly. I am also using the GO EX Launcher. Not sure if the two in conjunction with each other makes it more stable and usable or not though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
I used it with the stock ICS leak and Cool Ice mod and both had issues with the pop up message feature. I'd reply to a message and all was normal. Hours later I got no responce back and checked my texts to find nothing was ever set.
I suspect it may also have been a system SMS problem on mine as well though, even with GoSMS gone i would have constant missing messages, force closes, send errors etc..
I am running Sense Team Perfection, with Go Launcher and Go SMS. I have no issues with MMS or SMS.
Any chance of getting a logcat of errors for what people are having issues with? It might not even be GoSMS that is having issues...

I am having the same exact issues with my phone.
my phone is not rooted, its running the stock ICS, AT&T update.
I installed go sms and disabled the notifications in my regular messaging application, and now I receive no notifications in go sms unless I am in the actual program and it is running.
any ideas or advice?
i was running gosms on skyICS 4.2F6-2.0B and it worked fine. the only issue i had was on ocasion i would get double notifications. (stock sms and go sms) but everything else worked great.
I believe that gosms runs in the background all the time so i ended up deleting it. but that might be the reason for not recieving texts. Did you check in the advanced settings to see if there was a run in background option?

I just went in and found that feature to "Enable GO SMS run persistently" was checked. Still having the issue.
Im using go sms pro with Apex Launcher on stock ICS 4.0.4, no problems at all & the themes work just fine.
Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.
Go SMS working fine on my SR with 4.0.4, although I don't recommend the Go Launcher - seems like a waste of system resources to just get some neat home screen transitions that result in lag and hang-ups elsewhere. Love the customization of Go SMS, and it just feels more robust overall than stock SMS/MMS and other replacement apps. Got to be careful though, if you freeze or disable the stock app, MMS can start acting wonky and it may effect other functions also. Best solution is to set Go SMS as the default app and turn off the stock app's notifications so you don't get duplicates.
Would also recommend MightyText, which works fine with Go SMS (and better in my opinion than the Go SMS Web SMS feature), so you can text from a remote web browser.

Go Launcher kept crashing and making my phone lag so I am only running Go SMS. I have GO SMS set as the default, the stock SMS app notifications are all turned off as well. Still no clue.
I find that I am able to receive messages with notifications while I am in GO SMS, but if I happen to force quit, its like ICS stops it from running in the background. Which was never the case on GB.

Ahh I see. Man I can figure this thing out, I have changed every setting, reinstalled GO SMS multiple times and still no solution. I mean I have literally changed everything. Ever since this ICS update I have had nothing but issues.

I've been using this phone for a year and a half now. Updated the phone to KJ6 when it came out. Modded with Adrenaline shot and lagfix. Phone been treating me well until yesterday. I was still using it like normal before I went to sleep and it was running normal as well. The next day, the phone is a messed up (kinda). The home button doesn't work anymore. It doesn't bring me back to the "Desktop" when I hit it. Lights up and vibrates when I press it. Holding it doesn't bring up the recent app menu. I can only exit apps by hitting the back button. Only time it worked is when I'm on the phone, It does bring me back to the "Desktop" when I hit it. Another problem is the power menu. Everything's gone except for "Power off" (no flight mode, etc). Lock screen disappeared, I don't use any pattern lock or password. So I normally would have the gray screen I need to slide off the screen when I hit the power button, but it's gone now. The big problem is, I can only dial out with the phone. I cannot receive any phone calls. Data, text messages, wifi all work fine, not sure about GPS. Anybody had this problem before? Is there any fix for it? If not, I guess I have to just wipe everything, flash new rom and hope for the best?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
I had that phone about as long as you and never had that happen before. I'd try running the gremlin remover and that should clear up any problem you have with the phone
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I agree with falcons2 try the gremlin remover, but if that doesn't work maybe you should look into some of the ICS roms that have soft keys.
Good Luck!
So I guess I am going to flash new rom. There are so many roms out there and I'm not sure which ones are good. I would like my phone to be fully working, so I guess ICS is out. That leaves GB roms. I'm looking for something with pretty good speed, stable, clean and good battery life. Suggestions??

That's a little harsh! Assuming you don't need TVout ( ), most of the ICS ROMs are "daily drivers" at this point in time.
I would say Valhalla black is probably the best GB rom personally, or even Valhalla Black FB edition
Here is VB > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404863
And here is FB edition > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598561
Raver said he MIGHT update VB (please don't bug him about it though), but as-is its an amazing rom with unmatched battery life imo
Main reason I can't do ICS is because wifi calling doesn't work (I think?). Other than that, I don't see any other problems with ICS.
Just wondering how the Barebone KJ6 runs? It's almost stock so I can't go wrong with it? Just need to add back whatever I need. I looked at those VB roms, both look very good to me. Thanks for the suggestions
Love Valhalla black, but if you want more stock gingerbread, then go for Valhalla final... black is based in final.
