Hi all,
Did a OTA update recently for HTC Sensation
Currently software information are:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Software number: 3.32.707.10
Bugs discovered are:
1) when playing music in lock screen, clicking the previous or forward button for a few times will automatically pause the music. No effect with clicking the play button to resume the music. Have to unlock the screen, go into the music app, press the play button there. At the same time, there is a popup message which says: Your phone is up to date, There are no updates available for your phone.
This happens frequently and i am annoyed with it. Rebooting does not solve the problem. Unchecking the scheduled check option under settings > about phone > software updates does not help as well.
2) the native messages app that HTC notifications does not work when any sms are received even though the settings are done properly. No notification sound, no vibration, no notification preview even when options are checked under settings. Tried using Go SMS and Handcent SMS, the notifications work, but messages typed in the popup notification when not in the app itself does not send out the message at all. which means i have to open the app and go into the thread itself to type out the messages to send.
3) SMS problem again. I realised an earlier message that i sent in the morning has been resent again around midnight. When i scroll up the thread to look for the earlier message, it cannot be found. The message showed up as the last message sent. Check with the recipient, and they confirm they have received the same message again. Messages sent from random timing are picked and resent again. This is really annoying. I am spamming people without actually doing it.
Has anyone got the same problem?
Is there any solutions to it except doing a factory reset?
No confidence that doing a factory reset will correct these bugs.
Miss GB as there are no bugs at all.
Where is this being released?
oh FFS not another thread about HTC OTA bugs, there are already loads out there, why create an entirely new thread

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 got my G2x about 2 weeks ago and I'm having a problem with Google Voice. The app isn't refreshing in the background. What I mean is that for it update, I have to actually open up the app and then it will refresh. Background is enabled, I double checked. I'm currently using the leaked Gingerbread ROM from Modaco but I don't think that's the issue since I'm was having the exactly same problem with the stock 2.2 which came with the phone. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
I'm also having problems downloading Apps. Sometimes when I try to download an App, it would go from "Starting Download...." to "Downloading...." then just suddenly quit with no error messages at all.
Hate bumping my own thread, but does anyone know what's going on? Getting really annoying to constant have to manually check for texts.
Do you have Synchronize Inbox and Inbox Notifications enabled under the Google Voice App settings?
Yup along with Vibrate
Did you somehow accidentally enable the Do Not Disturb feature in the app or maybe online in your settings?
"Do Not Disturb" is unchecked on both the phone app and the voice website.
So I had a Note previously, WhatsApp worked perfectly fine.
I notice now that there are a lot of weird notification issues now. I ran some tests and this is what I've found.
Screen On - Clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. Meaning, WhatsApp is not running in the background, not running at all. I use my girlfriends phone to send me 10 + messages. I get NO pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing happens. I then launch the app and see that I have 10+ unread messages under her name. I click to read the messages, and exit back to the home screen (either back arrow or home button). I send another message from her phone, and NOW I see the notifications.
Screen Off - (sleeping but app is still in the background) - I send a message from her phone, get NO push notification. But... as soon as I hit the power button to light up the screen (wake from sleep), I get the notification in the bar. I read the message, clear the notification bar.. then put the phone back to sleep. Same thing happens. While the screen is off, I get no push notifications until I turn on the screen.
Anyone having weird issues with WhatsApp? It can't be the app because it works perfectly normal on my Samsung Note. I'm thinking ICS broke it some how.
The notifications works fine for me with whatsapp. The only thing is that when I hit clear in the notification bar and haven't read the actual message, the notification will reappear again.

Same thing here just happened with me on my HTC ONE S , if screen if off and whatsapp is running i get no notification, however as soon as i press the power button immediately i get notified and the weird thing is the notification sound is the default ringtone while in whatsapp settings i have another tone set. Whatsapp was working fine. I tried reinstalling, force stopping, rebooting.
My phone is stock rom no root any help would be appreciated
EDIT (SOLVED): Disable Fast Boot under power options in settings, disabling it fixed my problem (Read it somewhere online)
I have problems with notifications when wifi is on. No problems w/out wifi
I have exact same issue on my Xperia Arc...with or without Wifi...I have ICS 4.0.3
I think it is phone independent issue...
i think you all should stop closing all apps from the task manager and everything would be fine.
you cant shut down all apps and then expect from them to work.
(at004 solution could help too)
Sorry to revive this thread, but I have a solution to the problem (I think) and I thought I might share it.
Some routers flag push messages as "Anonymous Internet Requests" which the NAT dismisses. This will effectively kill push and you'll only get your messages on the next sync.
To counter this problem you can forward the google push port to your phone.
You'll need a static IP for the phone. The port Google uses for push messages is 5228 on TCP.
Good luck with your problems!
ahh.. i got the notification problem.. there is no sound or vibrate for incoming whatsapp messages..
this happen affter i update the apps.. damn!

This happens on my brand new nexus 4
This used to happen way back when I first got my One X, but it is solved now. I thought it was because I had rooted and gone with a newer build, but I got a replacement One X stock with 2.20 and notifications work fine when screen is off.
Same issue in my nexus 4
I'm facing the same issue in my nexus 4.But this is applicable to the application which having the same properties of WhatsApp.For eg Viber.
When we are in the screen of Whats App and Viber i'm getting the notification otherwise not..
I also noticed one more thing unless we open the application the data notification in the signal bar is idle. I don't why its like that.Usually it should be always active.

Same here, with the same phone and running CyanogenMod 7.2.0.
Also seeking help on the same issue.
Seems there's no point to use this "instant" messager with this defect.
Go and complain with the makers of it as you have paid for it and using a custom ROM is 100% supported...
This is a users forum guys. If you install custom ROM some things may not work as on stock ROM.
We share experience and knowledge but not complaining about the product or demanding for a solution.
Go to WhatsApp website and tell them about the issue. I doubt they read this post.

So I was THRILLED when my phone told me that I could download and install ANdroid 4.1.
Sadly, I experienced very visible and annoying bugs. I chatted with HTC support the other day and go a reply today. Guess what? They want me to send it to service. HA. HA.
Just want to confirm and see if any of you have ANY of the following bugs:
If I'm in a call and notification area get something new, the graphics are bugging (it gets a diagonal line through the notification line).
If you, for example, listen to music and have just sent an sms / tweet and changing track on the lock screen, the latest notification will flash in the notification line.
Lock screen disappeared (Related to TrueCaller. I have contacted them, but the bug was not in ICS)
Graphics not fluent at all (feels like Project Butter is missing) / Slightly slower than ICS
When you have an Exchange mailbox and set sync on "Push" and receive new mail, the phone notifies several times, sometimes twice and sometimes "reminds" every 5 minutes
If you get 2 sms immediately after each other from the same person, only the first sms will show. If you wait a while , the second pops up.
Messaging app crashes sometimes, just when you sent a message.
Of course I have done a factory reset after the update, but these bugs persist.

Hey all, I've been having trouble with Messages on my Pixel 2 and curious if I'm alone (currently on version 3.9.039 but has been happening for 6+ months with previous versions too).
The pattern is the same every time, and happens almost daily. I'll type out a message into the box, hit the arrow to send, message disappears from the box (like it's sent), but then doesn't show up in the conversation. If I go back to my list of conversations, a portion of the message shows in the preview as if it's still a draft. But if I touch the thread to go back into it, there's nothing in the message box and it's still not showing up in the conversation. My only solution is to restart the entire device (forcing the app to quit and re-opening doesn't help). After a restart, go back into Messages, message still shows as a draft in that particular thread, but then when I touch it to go back into the conversation it now shows a portion of the message in the text box, I can finish what I intended to say, hit send, and all's normal.
It's quite maddening to have to regularly reboot just to get Messages to cooperate. I've tried searching around generally for tips, but this particular issue is hard to describe in a way that returns any useful hits.
Anyone else experience anything like this?
Thanks
I've been having the same issue. No idea how to fix it. Also running the latest Android Messages on a Pixel 2 on Google Fi.
