Stock messenger disabled - still have 2 notification icons - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've searched a bunch in reference multiple notifications from 3rd party apps and I have found no solid solution.
I'm using Go SMS (previously used Handcent with same issue) and I'm receiving two notifications.
Before posting, PLEASE understand the stock messenger notifications are disabled and it has been frozen. Every response I've seen to this, someone suggests turning off stock messenger app notifications without reading that it has already been done.
I have included pictures. Go SMS is the blue icon. I took two screenshots, one with the stock messenger app enabled and one without it enabled to illustrate my point. The black icon is the mystery icon while the envelope is the stock app.
If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it. If so, I hope this post clarifies this issue and helps out others. Thanks ahead!

have you tried rebooting? Force closing the application?

Yes, I have rebooted, reflashed my rom, uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared defaults, cleared cache, and even stopped using Handcent all together, switching to Go SMS instead. All still pose the same problem.
When I click on the mystery black icon, it takes me to my default text message application on Go SMS and did the same when I was using Handcent.

So when you turn your phone on those notifications are still stuck there correct? Have you tried flashing another rom? or flashing the same one again.
Oh unless your not rooted..

I am rooted, yes. I have reflashed my rom and seen no improvement. Unless I misunderstood your post, it's not that these are "stuck". What I'm saying is that I'm getting this weird black icon even after the stock text message app and its notifications are disabled.
Since clicking on the black icon takes me to my current (Go SMS) text message application, I'm further confused.

I have no idea lol. Im sorry.
Free bump.

What Rom are you using

I have had that before on my phone. It was quite a while back and I "think" it was part of another application I had downloaded but I don't remember which one... maybe back track what you have downloaded and uninstall til you find it. Worth a shot...

This looks like the pop-up you get when you are on the phone talking and get another call and is giving you the option to send a txt to the caller. The option is there in the stock ROM which I am sure is carried over to custom ROM's.
I have never seen this pop-up but others have. If you have a custom dialer that may be why.
go into Settings > Call > Phone settings (or similar for a custom dialer)
I believe this is a setting within the MIUI rom... I could be wrong though.

Really strange repeating text...from 1969! HELP!

The other day I went to unlock my phone and it wouldn't respond at all, no backlight at all. I tried holding down lock button to reboot but still nothing, so I pulled the battery. After it rebooted, I had a text notification (i use handcent). This is what the notification bar read:

Going into the handcent convo list, I see this message from "Anonymous", notice the date of receipt:
[/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]
When I click the convo I'm taken to an empty message, no text at all. Also, I cannot delete the thread, nor can I blacklist it, choosing either of the options does nothing. I've tried erasing it in stock messaging too-nothing! The most annoying part of the whole thing is that all day long I keep getting text notifications for this same message! What the hell is going on?!
I think those are messages from T-Mobile...in your specific case, it seems to be messages regarding your visual voicemail. I have no clue beyond that, but I would just delete them...I get them regularly from T-Mobile, for various reasons...and they always from some random numbered sender, like 4444, or 5117, etc.
And check and see if you have a setting in handcent that automatically adds a contact for any messages from senders not already in your contact list.
Oh, and your screen blacking out and not being able to turn back on is a different issue alltogether. I don't know what rom or kernal you're using, but on MY particular phone, which does not handle overclocking or undervolting well, if I undervolt the low frequencies, I get that problem. Also, some kernals have the low-end frequency set at 216. On my phone, I've found that if I keep it at 216, I get those problems...so I bump it up to 312 or higher, depending on the rom. And then adjust my screen-off profiles in setcpu accordingly. Of course, it could just be a bad flash in your case, as well. Just things to look into and test.
Hope this helps.
P.S. : I'm an idiot, because I didn't even realize the issue with the text being dated 1969, lol...sorry for my irrelevant rantings.
Linux time starts on the day after 12/31/1969.
Maybe you can run a SMS backup, wipe all SMS messages, check the backup for this phantom thread and delete it. Then run a restore.
I've been getting these since yesterday too. Some have my contacts names on them. They won't delete also. I'm using handcent.
Odd. I got this 2 days ago along with a few other blank messages from "211" and friends from 1969 time stamp. They never went away. What I had to do was go into Titanium, backup and wipe the SMS/MMS/APN Dial Storage data. When looking into the MMSSMS.db file that was backed up, it was a gaggle **** in there. A LOT of old text messages I thought were deleted, but weren't. I can only assume it's an error with the mmssms data base.
Since the wipe, there has been no anonymous 1969 texts that re-accrue.
Had same problem and did a battery pull with phone on then reinstalled battery and powered on. Then I could delete but had to delete all threads. So far no more problems.

Is there a way to do this?

I was using BlackBerry 10.2 the other day and noticed a few things I liked and was wondering if there's a way to get them on the Nexus 5:
1. Ability to click on toast notifications (say of a text message) and respond on the spot without leaving the app you're in.. is it possible to do this on the Nexus 5 anyway?
2. Text message previews/calendar events on the lockscreen.. is it possible?
3. Split calendar to show calendar on top, schedule on the bottom (see pic below) - Any app that replicates this or option in Google Calendar?

1. The SMS app Textra let's you reply from anywhere without exiting the app you're in. I'm sure there are plenty of others that do as well, but Textra is what I'm using.
2. Yes. If you drag the lock screen left you'll move to another screen with a '+' sign on it. You can then add widgets there.
3. There's likely a ton of calendar apps for this but Jorte comes to mind as one that has a split view like that.

Thanks! How would you rate Tetra in terms of fluidity and responsiveness? Also, when a message pops up, is there a slight 2 second delay when loading the pop up after the message is received? I tried a similar app in the past and it bugged me that there was a delay when I saw the notification in the notification tray.
Textra has been pretty good so far through a week of use. No major lags, stutters or anything like that. SMS and MMS work fine. I'd say its as good as or better than the old stock messages app.

[Q] Twitter notification tone

Is any one else having problems picking a notification tone with Twitter? Every time I pick one it just goes back to default. Thank you for any help.
Yes I posted the same problems.. and now I'm getting no notifications
Download fenix instead or the new twitter from www.apkmirror.com

the latest APK does the same - reverts back to the default. One option my wife thought of was to change the default to silent and then change the notifications in the other apps.
There are many other apps but none will push the notifications outside of the app for the tweets of people you request because of the Twitter API.

I have the same problem. The button to save the notification sound setting is missing (and exiting the page doesn't automatically save the change).
any resolution on this subject?
No there's been a few updates but no fix for this on the s6. I reported it to twitter but I suppose it's not a very big issue really
Still not seeing any resolution on the latest build 5.69.0
Same issue on the note 5
Here we are 6 months down the line and they still haven't fixed it.
Set "default notification sound" in phone settings to the one you want for Twitter then change notification for messages to the one you want for SMS msgs.
Sent from my SM-G920F
The problem is there is no OK button on the notification sound dialog box on the GS6/Note 5.
My wife has a Note 4 and the same Twitter app version has an OK button which successfully changes the tone.
My Note 5 doesn't have an OK buton. Backing out is the same as the cancel button.
Note 5:

Same problem on the Samsung S7. This is really annoying. Please somebody fix this problem
Agreed. Seems like both a minor issue, and because it has lingered for so long, a very annoying one.
Even the Default/Messages setting workaround upthread is a no go for me, because there are apps (i.e. my local news app that send breaking news alerts) that give the Twitter sound with that setup.
Seems this should have been fixed a long time ago.

Download es file Explorer. Remove the app defaults for twitter/media storage. Open twitter and go to notifications. When it pops up the app to use choose es file Explorer and browse to ur customer notification. Works for me on s7

Notification problem on Facebook App Tap Login Screen

Hey guys, I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out.. Probably a week or two ago I stopped getting logged out notifications, I use the Tap login (saved password login) where it shows your picture and you tap it once to log in, the problem is it no longer shows the red dot with the number of notifications waiting anymore. Here are the things I've tried.
Going to APPS in Settings and checking that "Show Notifications" is enabled, which it is.
{
"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"
}
Went to in-app Settings and Notification Settings (assuming that even has any effect on Logged out notifications I'm not sure if it does or not.) Still appears to be ok settings.
Other things I've tried:
Clearing FB app cache.
Clearing FB app data.
Unintalling FB app completely (including files left after uninstall)
Reinstalling FB app.
Clearing Cache from Recovery Mode.
Factory Reset from Recovery Mode.
None of which has fixed the problem.
Here are some details that may be useful:
Phone: ZTE ZMAX2 (z958)
Android OS Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Facebook App version: 180.0.0.35.82
I thought maybe FB broke something in one of their updates or something but everyone knows FB has next to nothing as far as support, they do have the "report a problem" on facebook but you always get an automated reply and never really know if your getting anywhere by reporting it. Also the developer email on google play but again with so many users I imagine the amount of support emails I doubt they are able to monitor them efficiently.
Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what the problem could be? Could it be an android setting somewhere that is blocking the apps logged out notifications? Or possibly app not syncing?
Any help would be appreciated.
bump... Anyone?
