[Q] Live Tiles do NOT update on homescreen. - Windows Phone 8x by HTC

For about a week, my email tile on the homepage has failed to launch the email. It just refreshes the screen back to the previous page (hoempage). I tried from All Apps menu as well, same, it refreshes the screen and takes me back to all apps.
My text messages tile shows no new messages, but when I dont have service and failed messages it still turns to a sad face. Right now, I have new texts that I have not checked but the tile just shows a happy face, no notifications.
Mail tile always shows 1, even if I read an unread mail item (once it finally lets me open mail).
When contacts call, their name does not show up, only the number.
I was also having a problem launching People information when I selected a contact, it would fail as well and refresh the screen.
Media messages have always come in as "Get media content" links and would never download. I think this is a seperate issue.
I have all the latest updates.
I made a post here to someone with a similar thread: http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows...nly-stopped-launching-htc-8x.html#post1825365

[Q] briefing panel sidebar... nothing ever shows up

Can someone explain how on earth the notification sidebar works?
It always says no notifications on there. I see the weather, a little checkbox and the word no notifications
I have few missed notifications checked such as caller name ID, email, fitbit, gmail, hangouts, google inbox, instagram, google messenger (texting), phone, snapchat and whatsapp.
Whenever I get something from these nothing ever shows up on there. I do see them scroll on the main sidebar when it scrolls.
Any help gents? I just don't get it.

Try to restart the phone... I had the same issue a couple of times and, after restarting, the bar came back to work properly. It should be an annoying bug
Could be you already seen or cleared your notifications panel.

A restart fixed it. Guess it froze...
Same thing with CNN. it locks up... I took it off, but a restart would fix it I bet.

[Whatsapp] Notifications only show the lastly received message

Hey everybody,
I guess it has sth. to do with moving to android 7.0 recently (but I'm not entirely sure it has occured on every tested rom since then); my whatsapp notification from lockscreen or drawn down status bar just shows the last received message from a contact, instead of summarizing them to, for example, "2 new messages".
And when drawing down the whatsapp line in notifications, these new messages would have been shown in particular; in my case, nothing happens.
I think you all get the point.
Gmail or other apps still function in the used manner.
This is quite annoying since you read sth completely out of context from someone, until you open the whatsapp chat just to find out he wrote you a novel before.
Thanks.

At a glance widget not working

Hey everyone,
I've just picked up my new Pixel 2 today and it's great but...the At A Glance widget doesn't seem do anything except show my calendar. Long press doesn't do anything and there is no options for it in the home settings.
Any suggestions?
Edit: ignore this. I've just had updated my apps and it now seems to be fine
I'm having an issue as well. It is only displaying the day, month, and weather. I have things on my calendar but it never displays them. My appointments will show up in the notification bar but not on the home screen. Any ideas?
I've already long pressed and made sure my calendar events were enabled.

I'm having the same issue on on Pixel 2XL
I think what worked for me was allowing Google Now access to my upcoming events and location info. If you go to the Google Now screen and play around with the settings there it should work.
So I added a test event in the calendar app and it worked. So am I to assume that only events created within the app will show?
I contacted support and they verified my theory. It will only display events created within the app. If it gets added via the web or any other means, it will not show.
So, if a colleague creates an appointment and invites me as guest, the event is shown in my calender (as usual) but At-A-Glance won't show it??
And how do you toggle the weather to be shown or not to be shown? Long press only offers me calendar events and traffic info.

Regarding the weather. Try going to your google now feed and hitting the 3 dots in the top right corner. Then look for "customize feed" and hit that. Then scroll down and under "weather" hit "view all settings". Then where it says "weather updates for your location" turn it on. If it is already on, turn it off then back on. Now go back to your google now feed and pull down to refresh the feed. Now go back to your home screen and you should see the weather. As far as turning it off I think you can just turn off the "weather updates for your location" setting but I think you need to reboot to make the weather disappear.

That's dumb. I rarely if ever create an appointment from my phone. I usually do it from the web on my desktop. It should read from your Google Calendar regardless of where you enter it from.

My at a glance widget displays events added via the web, not just created within the app. It only displays the events starting shortly before the event. However, the widget appears to behave differently for different people.
Support is not the most reliable source of information.
I had this issue with my brand new Pixel 2, But I fixed it. To fix it first go to the Google app page in setting then go to the storage, manage space and then clear all data. After disable it enable it and it should start work.

Question NotiStar problem or how else can I turn notification feed into iPhone-like?

Hello, I switched from iPhone to Galaxy A52. Instantly noticed that notification systems are different: on iPhone, I could just scroll down into infinity; On Galaxy, it shows only a few recent notifications. So I installed NotiStar — it solved half of the problem, but new problems appeared:
When viewing from the lock screen, notification bubbles are transparent: I can see background, clock, etc. — way harder to read notifications.
On iPhone when I open notification it brings me directly to the source. For example, I receive a message from a friend, click on it, and it opens our chat. Notistar just opens the application. Most of my notifications come from Telegram, where I have like 100 channels and chats — it becomes tedious to search for the right one.
Sometimes my notifications get duplicated. Happens like: I receive a message in Telegram but don't open it, it appears in Notistar. Then I receive 2 more messages. Somehow they are logged grouped with the first one. The process repeats until I view or clear the received message from the notification center.
Please, tell me, how can I fix all that? If not with NotiStar, maybe with another app?
TL;DR: I want a chronological scrollable notification feed, that will bring me to the right chat when clicked

Question Popup notification issue with GMAIL

here's the scenario
1. I receive an email from AAA
2. pop up shows with sender AAA and part of the message
3. I receive an email from BBB
4. instead of popup with sender BBB I still ee a pop up with sender AAA
Anyone has noticed the same issue?
I think the notification is compressed to show only 1 notification (within that same app) rather than listing out the emails that you received for that app.
For me I see list of emails I received so I see all the sender names (AAA, BBB, CCC, etc. with one line content detail).
I recall that it's a setting for the notification that you have to change to list outrather than show only one.
Try ... Settings > notification > Advanced Settings > Show notification icons > select All notifications
There a new always on display update out maybe maybe there's a notification fix in there
I can't seem to get it to install keep getting the error
app not installed as package appears to be invalid

I'm using the COMPACT style.
Gmail by default does not have popup 3nabled though, so I had to change this into settings.
As I said, what is strange is that whatsapp or other messaging apps work ok: first popup I see A, second popup I see B, while with Gmail it's always A, that is the very first I receive.
I'll try to get a screen recording.
