[Q] Recent call list keeps showing all texts and calls - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi,
This is a little annoying thing that keeps happening randomly. In my recent calls list I have it set for showing "All calls" only but it keep reverting to showing all calls and text messages. With me texting a lot it gets annoying to see all of that in there, thats why I prefer it to show just calls. I can change it back to "all calls" but day later or sometimes few days later it will go back to showing everything.
Was wondering if this was a glitch or if I am doing something incorrectly, and how could I fix it.
Btw I am running stock rom, no root, on the latest update from Verizon. This has been happening basically for about 6 months now (possibly since the big update to JB)
Anyways Would appreciate some help.
Thanks

Strange activity on my Fuze..

I have noticed some strange activity on my phone. Seemingly random (no rcv'ing texts, voicemails, etc), the hang up button and the middle button will light up and the call button will flash. This happens when the phone is sleeping and when I am using it. Its almost as if I am rcv'ing a call, but no one is trying to call. Any ideas?
i noticed the same thing. i think its a notification for a new text message or voicemail.
well, I suppose that is possible however I have no new texts, no notifications that should be going off at the times it is. Buggy? I run ROMeOS Fuze edition with no manila, but I noticed it on another rom (NATF maybe?)

[Q] Anyone have issues with notifications not occuring?

I'm wondering if anyone else is missing notifications for calls, texts and emails. People will text me and I won't get an audible notification or an led blink. Same thing for calls. It doesn't do that all the time but over the past few days I've missed calls and text messages for hours because of this. I am running the stock OS rooted.
Thanks for any replies.
So nobody has issues with notifications not working but me?
Yes, I have the same issue. Seems to happen if I don't go back to the home screen before a screen timeout. If I let the screen time out within messages and then get a text from some one I already have a message from I won't get a notification.
Using Sense-o-maniac latest version with bricked 1.5 kernel.
No big issues on stock rom on my phone, but sometimes when I get two messages from two different people at the same time it goes a little mental and only gives a notification for the other txt. Then, later I discover I had received two instead of one messages.

[Q] Phone only rings for about one second and then stops.

After upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed when recieving a call that sometimes my phone will ring for about 1 second and then stop but continue to vibrate. I am not using any quick cover or anything. This doesnt happen all the time but it does happen quite often. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stock on 5.0 (i have deleted my cache partition and the problem still persists)

Are you using a custom ringtone?

No, just the stock tones. I find it happening sometimes with my SMS messages as well but not all the time.
Update: I have since unlocked my bootloader (wiped) and rooted my phone and the problem still persist. Seems like I'm not alone, I have starred this so hopefully someone can see it. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81178#makechanges
Anyone have any suggestions that I could try?
update
I had thought I had fixed the problem by re flashing the stock image of lollipop, the problem went away and my phone started to ring again but shortly its back to only vibrating. I noticed that the little vibrate symbol was popping up in the status bar whenever I received a call, even when I turned off the also vibrate for calls option. I then remembered that when I use the volume butler app and set it to my vibrate profile that symbol would also pop up. I uninstalled volume butler and everything seemed to be working fine. Next I Checked the play store for comments regarding the issue and I noticed two things: There was a recent fix "ringtone changing to silent upon first install" and it said that the app was installed onto my device and not requiring an update even though I had just uninstalled it. So I decided to open it up and it was as if I was starting the app for the first time as none of my previous data was in there for testing purposes I decided to set up the same profiles that I had before and try calling my phone and my phone rang like it should, weird. Perhaps I had two versions and that was the one that I originally uninstalled is that even possible?( I could have sworn I had updated it,as it was under the up to date app list) Regardless, I uninstalled it again and everything is still working as it should. Hoping that this was was the culprit I will continue to test my phone and see.

[Q] Hangouts doesn't notify me unless I exit a thread

/I've never had this problem with Hangouts before, but now if I am SMSing a person, and I put my phone down, I won't get any notification of their next texts, even if my screen goes to sleep. I keep missing messages because of this and it just started happening recently, since I got my new Note Edge. (Though, I also updated all my apps with the new phone, so it could be an app update and not something in particular with the phone. ) My GF says she is having a similar problem actually. Any settings I'm missing or fixes I need to look into? Also, is there a way to get persistent notifications back?
I've noticed this as well. Annoying

Time in notification bar doesn't update and delay in receiving SMS.

I just bought a used S8+ and set it to factory settings. Installed all apps and it looked to be working fine. Now I have 2 issues which I can't troubleshoot myself sk any help would be appreciated!
1. The time in the notification bar freezes and updates in irregular intervals (sometimes it freezes for mroe than an hour). If i turn on or off automatic time it refreshes. The time in the widgets and on my lock screen are correct!
2. There is a HUGE delay in receiving SMS messages! It takes up to 30 minutes to receive an sms, which isn't that great when you want to verify your number in some apps....
If you can help with any of these problems, I'd really appreciate it!
I had this problem, not with my S8+ but with my S7 after looking everywhere trying every app, cleaning, resetting i came to the conclusion it was my carrier who messed it up. Maybe flash it with a stock rom and see if that is going to fix the problem.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking about something like that. I'm going to try and see what it does without ny sim card. The SMS seems to be the sms service and app that were in power saving mode.
Ii hope you will figure it out, always it's the best if you open a thread state what you exactly have example
i have SM-GF955F - Oreo 8.0 - CRB7 - ROOTED
The troubleshooting can go smoother
