Missed Call Not going away - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

i currently have the ppc phone edition and everytime i have a missed call...there is an icon next to the service icon that has a picture of a phone with an exclamation mark on it. When i click it it sez the # of missed calls n it allows me to click on view or close..
when i click view and view the missed calls and i go back to the Today Screen, the missed calls button is still blinking although i've already checked my missed calls
is there a way to get rid of this?
thanks in advance

SMS Today screen # wont refresh

Hi,
I just flashed my ROM and the message icon on the front page (today screen) occasionally shows that I have one or 2 messages in my SMS/Text area, but there in fact is nothing at all inside (folder is empty). How do I refresh and remove the number 1 or 2 icon next to the message image on the SMS today screen?
Thanks for your help.

Sometimes it does this with MMS i found. I just go into the message and fiddle around and then it goes. I dont know if thats the real reason for it but it fixed it for me!

Gotcha And Is there a way you can add custom sounds to the Alarm or for Incoming text messages? I searched other areas of the forums and I converted it to .wav, however, the file still wont appear in the Alarm "Ringtone" dropdown box. This is the same case for text messages under Settings > Sounds and Notifications as well
EDIT: I guess I'll use gAlarm. If anyone has a cab or fix for the SMS/Text issue im having that would be great. I'm using Shpes rom. Thanks.

No there's nothing there. Does anyone have any ideas please? It shows "1" message in the SMS/MMS Inbox but there isn't anything in the folder. On the bottom it displays SMS/MMS 0 Items.
EDIT: I've also tried using the "Clear SMS/MMS message tool under settings, however, there seems to be 1 message stuck and I cant get the icon off my today screen Any help would be appreciated.
May be you can just text yourself a msg , and when you receive your own msg , see if the icon makes any change .

How to not dismiss calendar reminders

When the screen is locked, and a calendar remidner pops up, is the an option other than dismiss or snooze? For some reminders, I don't want to keep snoozing, and I don't want to dismiss cause it'll disappear. On the htc magic I would unlock the screen, check the reminder and then leave it or press home and it would stay in the notification pane until dismissed. But with the hero to even access it it seems I need to dismiss it. Any way around that?
On a completely unrelated matter, when you're talking on the phone and someone rings you, is it not possible to check the number afterwards? Seems that it doesn't register in missed calls.
Cheers.
I can answer the second question, when you go into your contacts (People shortcut), you can scroll to stuff in the bottom. When you slide all the way to the right, there is your call history. You can check incoming, outgoing and missed calls there.

Checked there, it doesn't seem to list missed calls that occurred while you were talking on the phone. So I hear the call waiting beeps, they stop, I end my call, and there's no record of the number that rang during my call.
the calendar thing is indeed a bummer, there should be the possibility to deactivate the alarm AND leaving the reminder unread, so it stays in the notification bar. i am wondering that i didn't notice this by myself yet, since i used to use the calendar this way all the time...
as for second question: just tried it, i see the missed call in the status bar, when i click on it i see it in the call history as missed call. i also see it when going by contacts -> most left icon in the bottom slidebar.
so far: 1. issue is a real annoying issue, 2. issue isn't a problem at all
hmm, thanks, maybe the beeping was in my head and not a call that was waiting!
On the calendar issue, seems to be an htc sense thing, as it worked fine on the htc magic that was plain android.
To not dismiss a reminder dont slide down but press the menu button on the lock screen, it removes the lock screen and takes you into the main screens.

Tried that, it still dismisses (or snoozes) the reminder. Which reminds me, in the calendar options, you can change the reminder display from 'show in notification bar' to ' show as alert' but both seem to do the same, at least when the screen is locked?!

What happens if you just hit the power/end button to turn teh screen off and then turn it in again?
same effect as snooze, pops up again a bit later

Text Message Notification not working correctly

Not sure what's going on but lately, for some reason, whenever my wife and I get text messages, the notification only rings for half a second instead of the full notification going off. It's really easy to miss. Anyone else have this problem?

In messages hit menu and go to settings. Scroll down and uncheck the option to delete messages after a certain amount have been received. Message tone will now play in full.
We shouldn't have to uncheck that option to get full message tones. Kind of stupid. Is there any other way around it?

[Q] How do I fix phone and messaging issues?

When I came back from an overseas flight I finally got signal and 30 text messages flowed in, but I cannot view any of them. When I click the messages icon which has the number of missed texts, it takes me to the messaging screen but it is all blank with nothing there and nothing loads. Also when I tap the phone icon, I can only stay on the keypad, if I click recent, favorites, or contacts, nothing loads either. I'm not sure what is going on but I cannot make calls to anyone unless I memorized their number prior, and I cannot view any text messages. I can only see the quick preview of a current text on the top of the phone. Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this! Thank you!

Stuck voicemail notification

I have a voicemail notification on my S that just won't go away.. It says "some notifications cannot be cleared" even though I have no notifications on my phone.. Restarting makes no difference. Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance

you have to go to the voice mail notification and swipe it own and dismiss it by it self
I have the same problem. I tried doing it thru the watch and it is still there
Yea, its greyed out in the notification itself.. Its just stuck
I had to factory reset my gear to get it to go away. I think it has something to do with the new update
Took me a minute to figure it out - here's how to fix this issue in about 3 seconds.
Go to the voicemail notification on your Gear S.. long press it until the little red minus sign appears at the top right corner, and "remove" the actual screen itself (it doesn't get rid of your notification screen don't worry, it just deletes the voicemail notification)
Profit.
Ha!!!! That worked!! Thank you
Thanks
Worked for me as well. Thanks.
This is really weird. Thank you for the tip. It works, but it is soooooo strange!!!!!
There are two different sources that the trigger the VM notification indicator on the Gear - the phone and the Gear's discrete VM. If you look at the indicator it has two different icons (a phone and watch) so you can tell where the message resides. Clearing the VM notification when it comes from the watch is fine; it deletes like every other notification. The VM notification from the phone is the one that gets stuck and has to be deleted by long pressing it. I have Visual VM so disabled VM notifications from my phone to my Gear since they're redundant any way. Visual VM notifications on the Gear work fine.
Awesome So much frustration , solved with such simplicity
This did not solve my problem. I can long press the notification, but no option appears to let me delete it.

same here
model : SM-R730T
If that's the case, then you have to power up the watch, not connected to the phone, and check the WATCHES voicemail. Then delete it after listening to it.
