Anyone having problems with the unread email notification on the lockscreen?
Mine often reads wrong. When i unlock the device it may say that i have say 3 unread and thats what show on the email icon however the notification on the lockscreen will read a different number.
any ideas?
I had that problem 2
I solved it by going to my account and mark all unread to read.
Mail in garbage was my issue.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
do you mean there was an unread email in your 'trash' folder on the phone that caused the problem?
Also, do you know of anyway to 'select all' when trying to delete mail? i am trying to get rid of all the mail in my trash folder but dosent seem to be any simple way to do it without ticking every email.
hmm still says i have 1 unread email on the lockscreen even though i have gone into each account and ticked them all unread and then read again. I come out of the application, lock the screen press power to wake and it shows 1 unread email again!
Maybe power off and then restart?
Hrmm, mine doesn't show mail notifications on the lockscreen even though I've enabled them, turned them off and on again, rebooted :/

Does something like this exist? I find myself many times clicking on an email which I really don't need to read just to mark it as read because this way it'll still tell me the email's subject in the notification bar if I keep it to only 1 unread email. When there's two or more it'll just say [email protected] (#).. Anyone understand what I'm saying?
EDIT: I ended up disabling gmail notifications altogether and just downloading the "gmail unread count" widget to simplify things. Thanks.
Take a look at Gmail Popup.
It gives you a popup similar to SMS Popup and you can mark it, delete it, favorite it, etc right from the popup window.
I love it since we don't have an LED.
I have seen this issue on other phone forums via search, but I seem to be the only one with this happening on a Vibrant. Every time I get message the yellow icon comes up on the notification bar but then the old school white message icon comes up too and the drop down just says I have unread messages.
I tried turning off the notifications in the messaging options but that removes both the yellow envelope icon (I want that) but not the unread messages (white postcard). Even after "read" the messages it stays there until I hit clear notifications then pops back up when I get a new reply.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? I am rooted running the stock ROM with the recent OTA update.
I also checked the SIM for any stored or saved messages and at one point deleted every text I had.
It sound slike you have another msging app installed - like HandCent or something.

Hi, I've recently installed handcent sms to replace the default messenger on my P500 flashed with void rom.
Now my problem is that every time I receive a new message and read it with handcent, the lock screen still shows that I have an unread message. I've pretty much disabled everything I can in the default messenger settings but its still no good.
So anyway around this problem? Will I have to uninstall messenger? If so, will that have any adverse effect on my phone?
I had same prob.
I removed handcent then reinstailed and rebooted, that fixed the problem for me.

i have the same problem with my p500. but i will give my shot to this solution.. thank you. hope it will fixed my notification in my screen. even if i don't have any unread messages.

UPDATE!.
not working ... still i have notification in my homescreen when it's lock.
I have an issue similar to this. When I get a new SMS message, my lockscreen will say "651 unread messages" and then that text will scroll down and disappear and be replaced with "1 unread message". It's not a huge issue, but it is annoying. Anyone find a way to get rid of this double text? I have notifications turned off in the android messaging and all the regular stuff you'd expect done, yet this persists...
i have the same problem, the workaround is to remove the default messaging app.
However this broke MMS for me, I was unable to receive them anymore!!
Any other solutions?
Remove lock screen message notification
Regarding this bug what i observed is..,
1. To remove Notification like "1 unread message" on lock screen, you have to open default message app and close (this is annoying though).
2.Till now i didn't find any solution even after Uninstall > install > rebooting....
3. One thing we can try is deleting default message app, this is not possible unless your phone is not rooted.
and I tried this with both Handcent and GO-SMS pro, and currently using Go-SMS pro..
Anybody comes up with the solution (other than point 1) let me know..

There is no good solution. The default messaging application is hardwired to the lock screen.
- uninstall the stock app
- replace or hack the lock screen
Bug LG if you want it fixed.
Thanks for the info.., I'm still a noob...have to spend some time to learn Rooting n all other stuff.... later will try to delete stock app..
I've got the same issue but I found a way out i.e. use the pattern lock. The unread message count won't be seen on the lock screen
When my phone is lock and I put my hand over the sensor the screen comes up showing me the preview. It will show text notification icon, gmail icon and work email icon, but there is a Missed call notification, then next to that is an EMAIL notification. I have a work and personal email accounts set up on this, but the email icon next to the missed calls always shows zero even if I have unread mail in both accounts. Does anybody know how to set the email notification on that screen to actually show the number of emails?
Nobody has any answers for this issue?
This problem only began happening yesterday but i do not recall downloading anything new or changing settings. I will attach a screenshot (with sensitive info blanked) which shows what is happening. I use cloudmagic for email and textra for texts. It has always just shown the messages from each simply with the person its from and the body of the text below. However now i am seeing duplicated of both texts messages and emails (not whatsapp duplicated though) . One is the normal textra/cloudmagic notification but the other is the more blank looking one of each, with the grey icon - See screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get the second almost blank (except for sender) notification turned off for both texts and emails. Thanks
You are also getting notifications from the stock apps. Simple. Go in and shut them off

I have set the 'email' app to show no notification from this app in - sound and notificiation area and also in the app area listed unticked show notifications. Same for default messaging. Is there anywhere else this needs to be done?

No telling as I am sure we have different devices and different setups. Could be something got corrupted. Try making sure that all things are marked as read and then clear the cache in the apps and reboot.

It seems that your third party apps are conflicting with system apps thats why you receive duplicated notifications, however you can go to application manager in Settings and set default apps of your choice, hope this may solve your problem
Thanks so much for both of your replies, still no luck yet!
Long press the notification and then hit the info button that will tell you what app it is and allow you to disable the notification.
Ok that was helpful and its make me discover the weirdest thing, both notifications are from the app i want to use. So for emails its cloudmagic and it sends me the usual cloudmagic notification - with the sender and body and also sends me the second grey empty notification. Whats wierder still its the same for texts, double notification, one the normal textra notification, the other greyed out and also from textra. So none of the stocks apps are sending the dual notifications
Actually just noticed it only happens ont he lock screen, not int he pull down notification area. I am using smart launcher
