Always On Display keeps showing missed call counter

Self explanatory.
If I've missed a call, it shows on my AoD (which is good). But even when I clear the notification and/or go to my call log and clear the counter within the launcher itself, it still shows on the AoD. Only a system restart seems to clear it.
Everything is stock on my S7.

Didn't have that problem myself but mine just doesn't work at all. Could yours have something to do with the dialer?

Quite possible, but not sure how. I use Nova Launcher and everything else is stock.

For what it's worth I'm also using Nova launcher and seeing the same issue on a new GS7.
Drives me nuts!

Doesn't it go away after going on your call logs area, or does it require a reboot?
I cant remember what I did

I've had the same issue using Nova Launcher with a Galaxy S7 Edge. It turns out it's just a conflict between the launcher and TouchWiz itself, if you go to Settings > Applications > Default Applications > Home and change it from Nova back to TouchWiz, give it a chance to load up and everything, tap on the dialler to clear the little number that appears over the icon, wait for that number to disappear then make Nova your default home launcher again and hey presto the little notification on the always-on display will be gone.

Thank you also had the same issue with my Galaxy S7 Edge with Nova Launcher ( Paid Version ). Worked exactly like you said
- Go to Settings -> Applications -> Default
- There select HOME and change it from Nova Launcher to TouchWiz.
- Check your default caller app ( that green one that comes with samsung ), delete all logs for safety
- Go back to Home as described above and change back to Nova Launcher
Thanks for Asauz!!! was driving me nuts this issue

Cant seem to get a custom launcher to stick since I updated to Marshmellow

Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? I can hit the Nova app icon and it will set it the launcher. However, as soon as I hit the home button it reverts back to default. Additionally when in Nova Settings, I tap the header that says tap to set Nova as default launcher, for a half second it acts like it is bringing up another screen momentarily but then stays on the main settings screen. It does the same thing when I scroll down to the Select Default Home where currently Huawei Home is set. I have tried other launchers additional to Nova including: Google Now, TSF, and Smart Launcher. I am currently running the latest update of Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1, on a GEM-703L, running Android 6.0.
Thanks for any help.

Try this:
1. go to settings > apps>advanced>default app settings

That fixed it! Thank you so much!

How to set a new launcher as my default launcher

I can not set a new launcher as default. It only goes right back to the factory launcher after I hit the back button. In settings, apps, the xperia home launcher isn't even set to default for me to clear it....... Whats going on?

Emui 5 app drawer missing

Hi guys I just updated via ota from hi care app to b360 on my frd-l09 and I tried to use the app drawer home style but the app drawer is missing .. The actual space for it in my dock is occupied but I can't press it or find the drawer button in the widgets or something.. Any ideas on how to fix it ?

I assume you already selected the drawer home screen style in the settings menu. Do you use Emui launcher or you use other like Nova. If you use the alternative, try clearing its app data and uninstalling it.
If that does not work I suggest backup everything and factory reset. You can use Hisuite for this so you dont lose your app data. Make sure to not restore any alternative launcher app(Nova, others)

I normally use action launcher but wanted to switch to stock ..does it affect the emui launcher ?

I used Nova myself with pixel style drawer before EMUI ota. It does not affect my EMUI 5 launcher. I havent used Action launcher in a while and i dont know if you use gesture or shortcut for your drawer settings before.
BTW if you factory reset try using Hisuite as i have difficulties getting my phone backup from google in the phone setup menu.

Enable it from homescreen settings

I did enable it from the home screen settings and instead of having an app drawer I got a blank space.. That's the problem

Maybe something went wrong during the upgrade. Restart the phone
If the issue still remain, I will suggest that you factory reset the phone.

Do a factory reset

It is settings. Settings -> Home Screen Style -> select drawer.

Nova Launcher switches to One UI when i clear recent apps

Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James

Yes , it's because since Android 10, the nav bar and recent UI are managed by your default launcher. That's really infuriating I know. But if you root your device with magisk, there is a module called QuickSwitch that allows you to set a third-party launcher as the nav bar UI provider.
Hope that helps
