Hi guys! I recieved my 4.2.2 update OTA a couple of weeks ago and since then my facebook icon shows me i have two ghost notifications. I tried reinstalling the app, clearing the app's cache, clearing the phone's cache, but the facebook icon still has a two on it. What can i do to make it look normal?

I feared you'd say that. Isn't there anything else i could try before wiping my phone? And if there isn't any other option, could you please tell me the best soultion to back up the rest of my data (non rooted).

[Q] Unable to load stock SMS app.

I received a text and I went to view it and my phone froze, I locked and unlocked the screen and it unfroze, but when I tried to view the message, the thread just says loading and will not load any messages. This is the same for any thread of messages I try, but when looking at the messages at a glance I can see the preview of the most recent message, yet it wont load. I tried restarting the phone a few times, but the problem is still there. I can see the preview of the most recent message, but still cant view the thread. However, I can send messages and view the entire thread by downloading a third party app (Whatsapp in this case). Anybody able to shed any light on why this might be/possible solution?
I really hope to get out of this without restoring the phone...
Thanks!

go into settings/applications then find the messaging app and try clearing data and cache.

Forgot to mention that I also tried this, did nothing.
But thanks for the input!
I've been searching and have only found one other thread about this problem. No answer on there either. I also have the problem where it doesn't notify me of new texts and the camera app crashing and not working till I restart the phone.
having same issue
I really wish there was more feedback on this issue because I just started having this problem today and this is the only thread I've found that addresses this topic. It started doing it out of nowhere. There was nothing that I could think of that I had done before this occurred that could have caused it. I'm tryin to avoid a factory reset. I have TiBu backups of everything but the fact is that this shouldn't be happening IMO. What should I do?

If you've tried clearing the app cache and data, I don't think there is much else you can do. Just bite the bullet and factory reset.

First off, thanks for your quick response. I did clear the app cache but the clear data was grayed out. I figured I would have to do a factory reset but I wanted to see if anybody had a resolution to this issue first before I did. Thanks again. Guess I'm bitin the bullet

[Q] Nexus 5 Notification DRAWER wierd images

Hello intelligent people at xda
ok, so here's my problem: (see attached images)
the notification drawer on my nexus 5 is acting strangely. Its not displaying the notification (widget) as it should for any notification widget that has play, pause, stop etc. such as Play Music, Tunein, and Viral. The widget also fails to update. (If I change the track, it fails to update the name.) The controls WORK i.e. i can still pause, skip track etc. however, there is obviously some glitch/bug with this.
All other notifications that don't require "active" controls, such as gmail, hangouts etc. working normally...even if i expand it.
This problem came totally out of the blue! The only "tinkering" that ive done with my phone today is that i removed xposed framework COMPLETELY (flashed the included disabler.zip) because i missed ART (dalvic feels sluggish). After i switched to ART, i noticed this issue. So then I switch back to davic to see if it persists - and unfortunately, it does.
Plz help me (a noob). Any suggestions to what i can do to fix it?

yes if you directly flash..
no if you use titanium backup to backup your apps
and apps like super backup for messages,contacts and call logs...
your internal storage data like movies,pictures will not be wiped...
all your apps will be lost but you can backup and restore them via titanum backup...
read the Rom thread carefully before flashing if you are new to flashing roms..
please dont skip any step in rom thread

Reason why notifications stop working after a little

Some of us have it, some don't. This seems to be a NON Samsung device thing.
Right now what is happening is at first install Notifications DO NOT need ATNManager to forward them, they work just find with only gear manager. But after some time and a couple notifications (changes on case to case basis) notifications will just stop forwarding. Every now and then they will come back, if you're lucky.
I've been screwing around with ATNManager after finding a bug (posted here) and found that clearing the cache for the app fixed it. I could forward 1 notification before I had to reset cache on ATNManager.
I applied the same idea to the Gear Manager app (not Connection Manager or Gear2 or any of the other) and my notifications magically started working again. Both had a cache size of exactly 68.00kb.
I hear there is an australian Gear Manager that fixes this issue, but I can't install Samsung Apps to download actual updates so I can't install it to test. If someone can get that version of the Gear Manager can you please post the APK?
When I read the title of your post this morning, I thought "what the heck he's talking about?". That was after my notifications worked flawlessly for ~10 hours in a row. Then, a couple of hours later, they stopped. Now I understand exactly what you're talking about.
I did try clearing Gear Manager cache (and not Connection Manager or anything else this app installs). It didn't help.I didn't have ATNManager installed, as I didn't need it before. Should I try to start messing around with it?
EDITED:
I figured out rebooting the phone brings the notifications back. That's a good enough solution for me at this point of time...

Just reboot did the trick.
It's getting quiet here. For me a reboot doesn't always help. Clearing the Cache doesn't help as well. Sometimes there is actually no way to get the notifications working.

Hi. This won't help. Notifications stop whenever they want and there is no reliable way of reactivating them. Sometimes reconnecting within GearManager may help, sometimes rebooting the phone. Sometime nothing at all helps - even not clearing caches, etc.

Apps and data disappear frequently

Hey Guys...I have an Xperia E1 and have started getting problems with it.
I had installed a few apps but they frequently disappear at random intervals!
I have no idea what's going on! Sometimes, the icons on home screen,widgets,etc also disappear!
BTW, by apps disappearing, I mean they get deleted completely! I have to re install them again and they disappear again after a while!
The phone has 4.3
So, Do i hard reset it and hope for a change or are these a part of the issues in this phone? I've been waiting for the kitkat update but it doesn't seem to release any soon though a leaked pic suggests its sometime this month.
make a factory reset and see what happens.Its a strange bug.

Just updated to kitkat a couple of days before and then did a repair consequently in lieu of a factory reset.
So far so good will wait for a a day or two to confirm that the bug is gone.
Thanks for the quick reply :good:
Can confirm that there are no issues now hat I've done a repair. Kitkat is smooth as butter except for one bug.
The hangout app never seems to permanently stay as my default SMS app. It keeps switching to the default android message app...
Stranger still is that twhen the switch happens, the notifications tone doesn't play. I have to open the message app to realize that i have a message.
Is it just in my case or is anyone else facing the issue?

U11's clock & phone calls stopped working after Oreo

Hey there,
I updated my U11 to Oreo yesterday and got a little surprise. The clock is completely out of sync and shows different times in the status bar clock and in the lock screen (both are off) and phone calls aren't going out (and sometimes in)
The dialer just doesn't respond and looks like that:
