Sidekick unknown error on lockscreen

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.

[Q] Market Problem

I have been having this problem for almost a week and and cant fix it. I tried a fresh install of MIUI, and I still have the problem. I have also went back to the old market and it wont even load the my apps page. The problem being is that when I open the market and press Settings>"My Apps" it will blink a sign saying loading for about 2 seconds and just stops at a white screen. Doesn't even show the stock apps YouTube Google Search Ect. Any help??

Try a factory restore using clockworkmod recovery.

[Q] My screen has blacked out. What can I do?

OK, so tonight I decided to install the Atrix 2 Blaze mod. It installed without any issues.
After installing and verifying that everything worked, I then decided to use Titanium Backup to batch restore my apps. This appeared to work, and at the end of the process it told me to reboot. So I did.
Once it booted back up, I was greeted with the lock screen, as you'd expect -- but when I unlocked the phone, all I saw was a black screen and the notification bar on top. No wallpaper, no icons, no widgets, nothing. I could open the task drawer, I could make the soft keyboard appear, I could bring up the "open apps" window... but I can't actually do anything because the screen is freaking black.
But because the notification bar works, I can tell there are things going on. I see my phone checking for email. I see my phone battery decreasing. I see notifications when my google+ or twitter apps detect people are replying to threads I've been on. In other words, the phone appears to be working in every way except that there's nothing on the screen for me to interact with.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a way to fix it? I hope?

Your best bet is probably just to flash the 2.3.5 Stock FXZ and start from scratch.

try re-flashing ?
looks like you loose your home launcher ..

I had the EXACT same problem, everything below the notifications bar was blacked out, i could bring up recent apps, but i couldn't even bring up the emergency dial pad at the unlock screen. Only difference is mine happened when i froze Go Launcher using Titanium Backup. I could tell it was still trying to run Go Launcher coz i could auto-rotate the screen.Sadly, the only option i had was to reset the phone and loose everything. I couldnt even backup my files coz i set USB mode to charge only so it never popped up on PC.
I reckon you restored an app that has a missing component/data and so it crashes at startup, maybe a home launcher, locker etc. Try making a backup then resetting your phone

Same problem here Ill try the fxy method,
any of you had solve the problem?

[Q] twlauncher and android.process.acore unexpectedly stopped.

Hello and thanks for your efforts! I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH - T769 for T Mobile but as I have Verizon I can not use it, so I decided to use it as a toy basically. I did a factory data reset then successfully rooted it using blaze-root-kernel.tar, blaze.pit, and using Odin 1.85 and everything was working fine. I installed Titanium Backup pro, backed up entire phone which was basically just the stock apps, just for the purpose of removing bloatware and if necessary restoring them later. My daughter got ahold of my phone, went into Titanium and froze, and uninstalled the contacts app. I restored it but because it was frozen it did not appear in my applications window. Of course I tried defrosting it but when I would check it still wasn't showing up. Also I noticed that the phone app was gone too. Im not sure if she deleted them, I guess it's possible. I tried rebooting after restoration, nothing. So I did another factory data reset, which I read in a few places would not harm my phone to do so after it's been rooted. After the factory reset it had all the animations and went to screen that says touch the droid to start. I touched it. It said to sign in to google account I hit sign in button and the screen went black and kept showing messages saying twlauncher has unexpectedly stopped and another saying android.process.acore has unexpectedly stopped. I re-performed the rooting process ( blaze-root-kernel.tar, blaze.pit, Odin 1.85 )stil nothing. Any how now when I turn on my phone the lock screen works but when I swipe everything goes black again and the messages (unexpectedly stopped) appear every few seconds. I can however see and pull down notifcations bar menu and play with wifi, bluetooth, gps,etc. Its actually connected to the house wifi right now. I can also long press the home button and pull up recent applications menu (its empty) and I can also enter task manager from here. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Q] com.android.phone crashes during calls after copy/paste fix

The specs: Rooted stock ICS on SCH-I535 (Verizon). So, I was experiencing the copy-paste crash described here, and used this solution to solve it. Ever since that fix, the phone process crashes when making a call. Here's what happens.
1. Open stock dialer, make call. Call connects, but screen is black.
2. Message that com.android.phone has stopped comes up. I click "ok."
3. Icon in menubar disappears and reappears. When pulling down the menubar, the call info is there. Selecting the call (via the green phone icon) brings me back to the black screen, and the stopped message reappears. I can end the call using the controls there, though.
4. Bringing up the Phone app while on the call brings me back to the stock dialer screen, but hitting keypad buttons there doesn't affect the call that I'm on. (i.e., if I'm in an automated system call, there are no keytones received by that system.)
5. When call is ended, it doesn't show up in my Recent Calls list.
I tried installing Dialer One, and get the same results.
Should I just wiped the Dalvik cache again in CWM and see what happens? Other ideas?
I was going to finally upgrade to JB and root (while we're at it, does OTA rootkeeper work here?) anyways, but don't really have time before I'm about to travel again. Any bandaids to fix this in the meantime would be great. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but I had to do a factory reset and re-root, then use Titanium to restore my backed-up apps.
