I have been using Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T since last one month, but recently i noticed that Mail count icon (bubble) is little broken when it displays the count of unread emails.
Is it something which is fixable or it's a deeper problem. Please look at the attachment and guide me.
Also, I am not sure if this has been the issue since the beginning because i never noticed it.
Anybody. Please tell me how should i tackle this issue.
Same Here.
Yep. me too. Seems a common issue, sometimes it comes back, a reboot fixes it,
clearing data fixes it, removing and adding the icon fixes it etc. etc.
But no one solution.
Any ideas anyone?

hi all I am posting this as an "official" question in this section because it's a known issue and it's not been resolved. this issue was briefly (and by that I mean "very few replies") discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055407
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or some more hints.
to sum things up:
- in a threaded sms conversation, upon sending AND receiving a message the small contact pictures (both yours and your interlocutors') flash one time (like if they were reloading: you can briefly see the grey android default "no picture" icon meanwhile). this didnt happen on elder builds, and when it happens the phone lags.
- it can happen from time to time that after this strange reloading the pictures won't load anymore and immediately after this, the app will loose sync with contact names too: you'll end with phone numbers anymore like if you had an empty phonebook.
I have found the culprit to be not the messaging app but the contacts app. when this happen, i "just" need to go back to home and tap the contacts app. sometimes it just displays a black screen, sometimes i get a FC message about com.android.process.acore. after pressing the FC button the app will restart and both contacts and messaging will return working normally (although still with the weird reloading thingy).
as far as things go it seems that
- hard resetting / wiping data does not help
- removing and re-adding the google account sync does not help
- it happens on 354 too
- not all users (very few, it seems) are affected by this
- there is no weird backup & restore voodoo procedure implied in the affected streaks
the small amount of users affected by this issue leads me to think we are, in some way, doing something wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated really. thanks in advance folks.

I've the same prob. i was thinking it maybe from my rom (simple streak 1.2) but looks like its not.
yeah it seems to be an issue related to android 2.2.2 (I didn't have this problem on stock 318 rom). I have done some more tries yesterday but I didn't come up with a solution. I even tried to desync google account, remove all contacts etc, and create a new test contact with random picture, well as soon as I insert the picture the problem reappears.
I forgot to mention it in the op but go sms pro seems unaffected.
Contacts app in StreakDroid 1.9.1 does this as well.
I'm going to try and roll back contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk and mms.apk from stock 318. I have checked the filesizes and they actually are slightly different.
well tbh I am 99.9% confident I will end up having to reflash my phone but oh well..
i'll report back!
EDIT: so here's the news. replacing apps didnt work. ROM 360 is still affected by the issue.
back to the drawing board...
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.
I purchased this app and I am having an issue where it wont save the settings.
I posted on their help page saying I couldn't get it to save my settings and thought maybe I was doing it wrong, and got this reply.
Hello,
you are not doing anything from. This is a well known problem on some Samsung devices, since the update of Android version 2.2.1. The settings of some apps are not saved permanently. Once this problem occured, this will happen again and again.
As the problem seems to be caused by a bug in Samsung's version of the Android OS I am afraid to say that we can't do anything against it. We hope that Samsung is about to fix the reason of this in the future. Maybe you can contact the Samsung support, that they hopefully
accelerate working on that issue.So unfortunately your device is affected by this problem. Some people told us that a factory reset helps them out of this really annoying problem, but I won't guarantee for anything. That's up to you.

Now I have been running the Galaxy S since launch day and my Galaxy SII since December. I frequent the forums here daily. Yet I have never seen or experienced anything like this happening before. Is their reply BS or have I missed something in my readings? And if they are correct, is it fixable with a hack? I really like the program.

Weird. I use business calendar, and haven't noticed any issues with it not saving settings. I honestly don't make too many changes to the defaults though, so maybe it's something you are doing that I am not? If you want to give me a specific case that you can reliably reproduce, I'll give it a shot to see if it loses that setting for me as well...
All I have to do is open it and it goes right to the 'Welcome to Business Calendar' page nearly every time. I change the week to start with Sunday and the day to start at 7:00am, then when i reopen it goes back to the welcome page and my settings are gone.
Oddly it did that for a while, then it seemed to not, then it started again.
It does it for sure right after a reboot. I stopped rebooting to see if it would fix it but it doesn't.
I was considering switching to CM7 to see if that fixes it, but I like ICScrewd.
have you tried reinstalling the app? Maybe something happened during install. I also have Business Calendar and never have any problems with it (and I've changed the settings in the app, just as you are trying to do)

I'm also running ICScrewD (2.1, with Entropy DD 3/7/12 ATM but also with Siyah .13 for a while). Just tried changing week start day to Sunday (actually, shoulda done that a long time ago ) and could not duplicate your issue - closed out and re-opened, and it opened back up to the calendar.
As my friendly nemesis Mr. NYYDynasty said (yeah, I live in New England, I'm a BoSox fan ) it could be a bad install. You might also want to try clearing app data from
menu>settings>applications>business calendar>clear data
before remove/reinstall...
Good luck.
Thanks guys, I will give that a shot. I pretty much figured I would get better advice and help here on XDA than I would from the developers help page.
I will post back what happens after i give it a bit.

Well clearing data didn't help. As a matter of fact, there is nothing showing in the data indication before I clear it. 0.00B. Do you guys show some kind of volume on that data? I have nothing there or in the cache.
Its not saving anything in there I guess? It will work fine until I close it out. If I force stop it and then reopen its back to the welcome page.
I will try deleting and reinstalling.
edit: Nope, didn't fix it. I did have 16.00kb in the data section after a re-install and save so I was hopeful and it even showed that amount after a reboot but still went back to the welcome screen and lost my changes after the reboot.

Fwiw, I show 160k for data, and zero for cache. Not too many calendar items at the moment.
I got no clue though why it isn't working...

I run this app with no issues. Have not seen the behavior you describe. Do you by chance have both the free and paid versions installed at the same time? If so, delete both, reboot, and just reinstall the paid version. Just a wag....

I purchased the app straight off. Never tried the free version.
Deleting data and uninstalling has proven unsuccessful so I guess we are out of luck here.
I guess the developer was correct in saying some Samsung devices have an issue with it.
I am happy with the way my phone is set up right now but if I change the rom I will give Business Calendar a try then. Maybe a wipe and reinstall would change things. I am kinda holding out for CM9 before I do that though.
Seems to have been fixed when I switched to CM7 and then to RockRatts Cobra v2b. That leads me to beloved its not really a Samsung issue but rather a formatting issue.

Hello all! I have a little issue, just bought the HDC Galaxy S4 Legend recently. Great phone.
The problem I have is that, when I receive a call from someone (even though they're saved in my phone contacts, in the phone memory, their name doesn't appear, but the name appears fine in whatsapp and when they text me and all i receive is the number).
I've tried various roms, settings etc, but no joy. Right now i'm using android 4.2.3 fluffy rom (have attached a pic of the software and kernel. Which seems to be the most stable and with air gesture etc. Which works fine apart from the one issue.
I'm on T-mobile UK. And have also tried turning google/other syncs off etc, basically everything. If anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
*P.S. Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section etc, my first post.
Big thanks to anyone who could possibly help. :good:
For almost 3 years now, around the time I purchased my Nexus 6 in December of 2014, I've had delayed notifications. I always thought it was a Nexus 6 issue but it seems I was wrong.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Having recently purchased a Note 8, one thing I was really looking forward to was no longer having these delayed notifications. From the moment I set everything up, the issue was and is still present - even on a brand new, unmodified Note 8 purchased directly from my carrier (Telstra, Australia).
This has lead to me to look further into the issue and to finally get to the bottom of what might be causing it and hopefully, get it fixed.
From what I can tell, pretty much anything that uses Google's Cloud Messaging, which I beleive is everything from Gmail to Facebook, Google+ and many others, the notifications will be delayed. Sometimes only a few minutes, sometimes much longer.
Anything that doesn't rely on GCM works perfectly fine. For example, if I use Nine (an Exchange client app) and connect to an Exchange server, those notifications are always perfect. I'll get notified within seconds of receiving the email.
My partner, who has the exact same phone (Note 8) as well as Gmail and Facebook setup, receives notifications instantly (within seconds) and has never had the issue on previous Android devices either. So it's not a carrier issue, nor a WIFI issue, nor a phone issue. It is something directly related to my Google account.
Has anyone ever come across this issue that has been able to successfully resolve it? I've seen a couple of apps on the Play Store that apparently let you fix the issue but you need to be rooted in order for the apps to run. This is simply not an an option.
Given all testing points to something Google Account related, where would be the best place to start looking for a fix?
NOTE:
- I don't use any battery optimisation or task killer apps nor anything related. Never have.
I've come across the following information. It appears as though it may be something to do with this: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/fslYqYrULto/lU2D3Qe1mugJ
Although this looks promising, it doesn't really explain why it would affect some and not others. My partner who is using the same phone with the same carrier, connected to the same WIFI networks doesn't have the issue.

I've never had this issue before, but I've had friends that ran into issues similar to the one you've explained. I'll be sure to ask them what they did to resolve them, and get back to you when I know!

Thank you!
I haven't made much progress here however, I can confirm my carrier is actually taking the time to do some thorough research themselves and ensure there is actually nothing wrong in the background.
