Favourites in edge panel vanish and can't update the panel - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my favourites edge panel lost all its shortcuts and stopped letting me update it. If I tried after I selected some apps as pressed Done, it would go back to either a blank panel or the old shortcuts.
I tried force stopping the panel and deleting its data which reset it back to the default favourites but I still can't update it and it went blank again.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did you fix it add it is very annoying as I regularly use the shortcuts on the panel.

BTW this only happened since I updated my T-Mobile Edge to Lollipop

This happened to my Verizon thats still on KitKat. I have cleared the favsedgepanel in applications then reboot and i get the panel back but its at the default with no sms or gallery. Im was wondering if it has something to do with the gallery app being updated to Pictures, but since this also happened to you last month im having second thoughts. Any other ideas out there folks? Id hate to have to factory reset.

[Q] calendar notifications

Alright I think I'm stuck for once. Facebook calendar notification of birthdays will not go away from the lock screen. I cannot uninstall facebook or freeze the program because it wont let me without root and TB. I've changed all my facebook settings and friend stream to not sync calendar and done a couple of reboots. These events wont show up in my calendar now either google or phone sense calendar anymore but im still stuck with the popup on lockscreen. Even when i drag the notification to the ring it brings me to calendar and the event doesnt exist anymore according to it.
Is there a way to get rid of this short of factory reset/root TB and freeze. My beautiful lockscreen is made ugly with this and would like to find a solution. Thanks in advance.
Hey, I had the same problem. What i did to fix it was to go into calendar and untick everything except the calendars I wanted. I also went to the lockscreen settings and chose them. After that, just restart and you should be good to go
i will give it a shot and report back.
edit: it was the lockscreen settings under personalize that did it for me... thanks again still getting used to sense coming from touchwiz.

favorite apps edge panel has gone blank

the favorite app edge panel has gone blank. I tried adding my apps to the panel but it doesn't show up on the edge. I did a factory reset and the panel came back and I was able to edit it the way that I wanted to but after a week the panel went blank again. I go into manage panels , I select the favorite app panel , i try to drag my apps to it including the original apps.... phone, contacts email, internet, camera.. select done close the application check my edge and the panel is blank go back into the application and the edge panel is blank again... this is the only panel that does this...I have Factory reset the phone 3 times and have monitored the apps that i have installed ..everything works fine but after a week my favorite app panel goes blank..guess its time to call tmobile for a new phone.
The same thing happened with my yahoo sports panel. Always says click to add interests it whatever, but when I do, the teams I try to select are already there still. Then it goes blank again within minutes. Since I don't really care about that panel I've chosen to ignore it, but I am wondering why that started happening.
Same thing....

[Q] Is this normal?

I am a new Z3 owner (D6603, rooted, locked BL on 23.0.1.A.5.77) coming from a long list of Samsung devices. I've noticed two small things that bug me and wanted to ask if these are normal.
The first thing is, for lack of a better word, keeping apps in the background. For instance, if I am in the twitter app, click on a link to a story which opens in Chrome, then share the story via email by way of chrome's share function, it then opens my email app. When I'm done sending the email and hit the back button, instead of taking me back to Chrome, it returns me to the home screen. This is different than every other Samsung device I have. Those will return me to chrome, then hitting the back button again returns me to twitter app. Basically it reverses the complete path. I'll admit this might seem silly but given my normal workflow of going from app to app, returning on the same path is important. Is there some setting on the Z3 that I need to set to enable this behavior?
The second has to do with notifications. If I have multiple notifications, as expected, the icons for each notification appear in the notification bar when the notification window is collapsed, but as soon as I click on any one of the notifications, the icons disappear from the collapsed notification bar. If I expand the notification bar, all the notifications are still there, but the icons don't show when the notification bar is collapsed. Is this normal for the Z3?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi there
Regarding your first problem: I actually just tried this with Facebook (clicking a link), open Chrome and sharing it via Gmail
and it behaves just as you said you wanted it to, it brought me back to Chrome and then back to FB.
That notifications disappear from the status bar (collapsed notification bar?) is really unusual.
Never happened to me before, neither did I hear/read about such problems.
I'd suggest to either check if some apps are causing this (like apps which handle notifications)
or reflash the firmware through recovery (but a different, maybe your own created zip) as I think
the first problem is a system failure.
Maybe someone else can help you better, just wanted to let you know that this isn't usual for the Z3
Settings, Personalisation, Clear viewed notifications
Edit: The default setting is unticked btw, so I guess you must have changed it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you! That took care of the notification problem.
So I just noticed the back glass panel on my phone wasn't fully glued at the factory. Kind of a major defect for a waterproof phone. Shame, I really like the phone but sending it back for replacement. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the recents problem. Thanks everyone.

GMail Notification in Status Bar is WONKY?

Don't know how else to put it...
I noticed that if I double-tap the gmail notification on the AOD, I will be taken directly into the email message but the gmail notification does not clear/get dismissed if I just hit the home button. It will dismiss if I hit the back button within the gmail app and go back to the inbox.
However, when I receive 2+ gmails, the notification works properly and dismisses immediately when the app is launched from the AOD notification shortcut.
I thought it was just my phone but I tested it out on my wife's S8+ as well and the same issue <-- she hadn't noticed since she didn't know the AOD notifications were shortcuts...she thought they were redundant notifications so she would just click on the notification through the shade and enter the app (which works correctly and dispatches the gmail notification promptly).
This only occurs when you receive ONE (1) email and enter the gmail app thru the AOD notification. <-- I guess it's a bug (or does Samsung intend to say it's a feature????). Being kinda OCD, it bugs me. But I had to make sure since I just performed a factory reset as my gmail app was crashing on me all day and only a factory reset cured it (yes, I tried force disable, clear cache, clear delete from both the gmail app & google play services; remove account and add my gmail account back; nothing worked except for a full system factory restore and then a manual set up)...<--Ahh, I miss being able to TWRP, use Titanium Backup and do whatever the hell I wanted with my Nexus 5 (and the only reason I had to let it go was that it won't hold a charge for more than 4 - 6 hours tops now).
Roll call and let me know if you guys are facing the same issue. I'd like Samsung to fix it since I don't face this issue on my Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 tablet.
Thanks!

Notifications won't clear from status bar?

Hi Everyone,
Since the middle of last week I have a number of notifications stuck on the status bar. No matter what I do they won't go away and overlay any new ones making them almost impossible to read. Also the time on the status bar is always 11.09.
When I swipe down none of the apps showing are displayed, so I can't clear them that way. There are 5 apps showing, an alarm, a email alert and 3 game alerts. When I go into any app the bar clears and the time is correct, but as soon as the home screen reloads all the notifications come back.
I've rebooted the phone but they just come back afterwards.
It's vanilla Mix 3, not rooted, nothing new installed running the latest updates.
I really don't want to factory reset and some of the apps take a while to set back up!!!
Anyone have an idea on how the clear this??
Thanks.
Could try some of the options here. https://m.wikihow.com/Clear-Message-Notifications-on-Android
Also could try clearing data on your launcher app.
Some launchers also have a reload built into the launcher settings
