Always On Display keeps showing missed call counter - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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

[Q] Edge Ringer & Nova Launcher Help?

1. I loved when using the phone the phone call would ring on the edge panel, since the recent update it pops up on screen (not the edge), any way to have the phone ringing on the edge only?
2. I've been a long time Nova user, it's been crashing a lot lately. I'm assuming it's because I have the flip cover case and when closed the edge panel lights up causing Nova launcher to crash. Anyone with Nova crashing issue?
What version? I have sprint, and the latest update does not remove edge ringer and NOVA launcher works great for me. I don't have the flip cover car though.
Thanks. I have the TMobile.

Settings scroll all the way to the bottom to call (click it). Then call related popups...
You are awesome! Thanks.
Btw I figured out the problem, under setting accessibility I turned on Voice command causing the call to pop up full screen.

Lock screen replacement on CM12

I've been running CM12 for a while now and the only thing I dislike about Lolipop is the lock screen. I really miss widgets and apps on my lock screen. I installed C Locker (Pro) which I had used on a different phone running KK and it works much better now on Lolipop. It is very customizable, I am using transparent clock/weather widget, calendar widget (Scrollable) and a number of app shortcuts. The only gotcha was I had to delete the Android guest account otherwise when I would unlock it would go to the Lolipop lock screen. You can setup up a lot of gesture actions, and click on the lock button turns the phone back off. Mine is probably gaudy and way too colorful for most but that's how I like it

I couldn't remember exactly so I went through it again
1- Switch user to the guest user in settings (have to go through initial setup for the guest user, I skipped everything I could in the setup process)
2- then go to back into the users in settings
3- instead of choosing your main user account to switch back to, select "remove Guest"
At this point, it switched me back to my original user, but the touch screen is not responsive
Pull battery and replace
once rebooted, go into C Locker, turn it off and then back on.
Then everything works fine.
The guest user will still show up in users, I guess it recreates it.
Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot for your quick reply but i found another way to disable it In Clocker ->Security->turn off default lock screen.. and you are done with it. But in this case you will miss out those beautiful floating notifications on lock screen.

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!

Events & Ambient Display

So I have a daily recurring event set up to remind me to do something every day. In the morning when the notification pops up I always just dismiss it. What's weird is that on the ambient display, the event still shows until the event time has passed (8am). It shows even after I've dismissed the reminder. I have no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts?
I noticed this last night. I believe you can long press on the Date/Weather widget > preferences > uncheck the option(s). I just changed mine this morning so I can't confirm but I think that'll change it.
i'm not sure which widget you're referring to. i don't have any on my home screen.

It's the default date and weather widget on the default pixel launcher at the top of the home screen.

Correct, guessing you can access the setting somewhere else but that is the only place I am familiar with.
You can get to that sub menu from the main launcher settings too. And if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you'd have to temporarily change your launcher back to stock pixel launcher to get to those settings

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
