I'm still very new to android but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this same problem. whenever i swipe left/right at home to back/forth between diff. desktops, the contacts and call button do not go away. It's particularly annoying... Has anyone else had to experience this? is it a general android problem? Is there a fix for it?
I have attached a screenshot. Look at the bottom how they are overlapping.
Are you sure they're not part of your wall paper?

looks to me as tho you've installed launcher pro, and havent set it as the default home launcher, what u can do is download an app such as Home Switcher, and choose launcher pro as the default launcher for the phone, this should get rid of the default Blue launcher which is what you are seeing in the background
i installed launcher pro before and then restored the phone to factory settings because it happened a few days ago... so after that, i decided to stay away from launcher pro because i figured it might have had some bugs since the Atrix is brand new, blah blah blah.. Well, without touching launcher pro, it just happened again earlier today... I didn't install anything either. I might have unplugged the phone or something but other than that i have not installed any new apps today... I cannot remove it through the apps and it's not a part of the background... What can I do to fix this? There has to be some easier way than reseting to factory everytime? anyone else have any ideas? am i the only one experiencing this so far?
I still get the same problem... I find that when I go into the running application 'Home' and click clear data, the problem is solved. My icons and all my desktops are also cleared... Is there some sort of config file I could edit instead of losing my icons everytime this bug occurs? I also don't have launcher pro or any other launcher app installed atm.
i'd do another factory restore if not take it back to ATT if u bought it from them.
were you rooted before, and did you install the custom rom?
Both times it happened, I was rooted. I never installed the custom rom. I'm still trying to look into what's going on and see if I can find a config file that I can edit to change it.
Same problem with my new ATRIX
Hey everyone, I just bought the Atrix last week and had problems with it freezing right out of the box. The next day I noticed that the direction arrows that pop up when switching screens would pop up and overlap my call and contact buttons instead of them dissapearing just like he said. So I went and got it replaced yesterday and all last night and all today my phone was working flawlessly and I was very impressed and thought I must of had a dud until just now my phone froze while playing a game. GRRR not this again So I was forced to take out the battery to restart it and then I scrolled over to the next screen and the stupid arrows were overlapping the call and contact button again I think this must be a common problem. Two phones in a row this has happened. This is kind of pissing me off. Surely more than just the two of us must have this problem? And no I haven't done any of the things you guys said could have caused the problem. The first time it happened I hadn't downloaded anything other than facebook or ebuddy.
I was super excited for the atrix but now am wondering if I should have got something else.
So it turns out that it may have been a program called mixzing music player thatwas causing the problem. After having some problems with the app I removed it and reset my phone and the problem has resolved itself. If anyone with the same problem has mixzing on their phone I strongly recommend using something like winamp instead. My phone works great now and Bell finally released an update today aswell
I have a strange problem - I have LauncherPro (with customized dock icons), BobClockD3, and MinimalistText, running at DAS Bamf Remix 1.6.3. I get notification sounds but then when I go to open my phone, they do not show up in the top notification bar and I have to go to messages/Facebook/or whatever to see that I got a new message. I am not sure if this is due to LauncherPro because I noticed it after I installed it, but I tried checking off the "Missed call count/Unread SMS count/Unread Gmail count" under Preferences -> Dock Settings, but since I have customized dock icons, I am not sure if it will work or not... I even tried unchecking them, but I still do not get any notifications on the top of the my phone, which is strange. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated!
Other phone information that may prove useful:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)
Build Number: 1.13.605.7_Das_BAMF_Remix_1.6.3
Software Number: 1.13.605.7
Nevermind, after a reboot and re-installation of LauncherPro, everything seems to work fine. Strange that it happened... Oh well. Thanks anyway!
Actually, now I have a slightly different problem but it still relates to notifications (so I did not bother making a new thread). On LauncherPro, I checked off all the notifications in Preferences -> Dock Settings -> Dock Notifications. The Gmail and the Phone ones work - when I have a new mail or missed call, a little red bubble appears next to my custom icons in the dock that tells me so. However, for SMS, it does not appear. I believe I remember it appearing one when I first used it, but it has not appeared since. Any idea on what I should do?
Also, is there an app or a way to make it so when I get a text, the screen on my phone lights up? Thanks! Any help is appreciated! (Sorry for this noobish questions)
Bump (still cannot find any solution).

i have the same problem with the same setup. haven't found an answer yet either.
I mean, it's such a small problem and it really is not a big deal, but since I have noticed it, I have been trying to find a solution and since I cannot find any, it is just eating at me now, haha. It's like a personal mission to try to fix this problem.
same here. do let me know if you found a solution.
i'm thinking ill uninstall launcher and see if that might be the problem.
thanks
You mean uninstall and then reinstall or just uninstall completely?

dont know what is the cause. i unistalled launcher pro. still with no positive effect.
This is strange... I am going to continue looking. Do you use the default messaging that comes with the phone or do you have an alternative app for SMS messaging (like Handcent or something like that?). I am thinking maybe a different messaging app might work with Launcher Pro, but again, I would have to experiment and test it out... Although I do like the stock messaging system, I would want to try to keep that.
Bump - does anyone have any advice on the problem?
Go sms pro will light up the screen when you get a text. It works well for me. The other problems I am not sure about. I have the same ROM with launcher pro and no problems

Go SMS Pro? And you are able to see notifications on the bottom of Launcher Pro when you receive a SMS? I was looking around for a new messenger system, but I saw Handcent, Go SMS Pro, and a few others and I was not sure which people think is the best. I guess it is personal preference and I will give some a try... Thanks! Does anyone have any opinions on Handcent vs. Go SMS Pro vs. others?
I am going to try Go SMS Pro after I try to update my radio/try on a new kernel in the next few days, and I will let people know if that works or not.
EDIT:
I installed Go SMS Pro, relocated that shortcut on my dock, and after a few items and changing the icon around and putting the SMS Notification off then on again a few times, it finally worked. I feel maybe the HTC Messenger gives the LauncherPro dock problems at giving them notifications when messages come in? I have no idea. I like Go SMS Pro though, so anyone reading this, I recommend it. Thanks to everyone who helped!
I'm having a small problem with notifications on CM7.1.
Ever since the upgrade to 7.1 I've noticed that I do not get any notification sounds on any of the "Google" apps. These include Talk, Gmail and SMS. Whatsapp does have sound.
I had a look at the following thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300333, but that problem seemed to have sorted itself out.
I have also tried the "sdcard/notifications" solution given on another thread, but still no luck.
Does anyone have an idea what can be wrong and how I can go about fixing it.
Any help will be appreciated.
First, let me say I did search for this issue and couldn't find an answer. I saw that one user had asked the same question in the original CM7 nightly thread (not the twice weekly), but never received an answer. Sorry if it's been answered elsewhere.
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly from Sam3000, although this isn't a new issue. While on a call, SMS notifications play through the rear speaker, causing the person on the other end of the call to hear it as well, interrupting them. I've dug around all the settings on the phone itself and can't find a fix.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there any sort of flashable mod to change this? I'm using the stock messaging app, as I actually prefer it to GoSMS and the like, but if using a 3rd party app is my only hope then so be it.
Thoughts?
Hi, after using my HTC Hero since it was launched I finally recieved an SGSII at work.
I really love the phone, and have been able to tweak most things to my likings, but the iPhone-wannabe-ish SMS thread viewer is definately not to my taste. No big issue, ofcourse, but I'm still posting about it in case some of you skilled Android-hackers/users have an easy solution. On my Hero I really loved the look of the SMS app in FroydVillain (Froyo) and Decked (GB). I'm honestly not sure, but I think they both ran stock unthemed SMS apps. Black baground, white text, clean interface without those silly bubbles. I've been trying to do a Google image search but haven't found out how the stock SMS app really looks in ICS so I don't know if the cartoonish iPhone-bubbles are from TW or AOSP.
I dont want some bloated and ugly SMS apps like Handscent or Go SMS that I've heard cause problems like duplicate sms-es.
Also, since the phone is my eployer's I want to avoid flashing/rooting it, so simply installing mms.apk from a different ROM is not possible afaik.
So, any suggestions? I guess I'm sort of hoping someone already compiled a binary/apk based on mms.apk that can easily be installed and used as the default messaging app.
