1) Open the Messaging app>Menu>Delete>Select all at the top and delete.
And/Or
2) Try deleting data of the messaging.
This worked for a colleague of mine but in her case, she had a '1' stuck for both messaging and call log.
Seeing as the call log also shows messages, this might work for you too.
Good luck!

this happening to me... but in message

me too. us cellular version.
i found clearing the ram works till another message.
also go to settings. then hit developer options, you should have the "Dont Keep Activities" unticked. (works for some)
with that i found the battery doesnt last as long.
i sure this is a known issue and will be fixed soon i hope
my specs;
baseband=r530uvxlf9
let me know i want to get this figured out and fixed asap

I have tried clearing the ram, clearing phone app data, clearing messaging app data but still the same issue! Do you have any recommendation beside factory reset as I am not in favor for that option

me too have same problem ,, please help

same problem here, don't want to factory reset..this is very annoying from a flagship phone!

Same problem here

I have same problem on message, though so far I've been able to clear it by rebooting. Seem pretty dumb. I wonder if any bug report has been file to Samsung.

i also experienced this problem on messaging. i factory reseted the phone. it worked fine for a while but then again samething started happening..the second time i cleared all data on messaging app, unchecked "do not keep activities" in developer options. seems to work fine till now. and also make sure you dont have any unreaded conversation on "whatsapp messenger".

GREAT! IT WORKED! THANKS A LOT!
The 3 'clear data' seem to have only wiped the call log. Anyway I had backed up everything using Titanium PRO.
I called myself to get a missed call, the '1' appeared again, and then disappeared when I opened the log again. Hopefully the bug won't come back!
Thanks again!

I also found that if you clear the call log it'll fix the problem. It comes back once in a while but is easy to clear.

Hi, thanks! it worked with only clearing the 1st 2 data.
What i did was i cleared the 1st 2 data, worrying that the 3rd would delete all my contacts.
so i synced my contacts with kies into the computer. after disconnecting the phone the notification was gone.

Only clear data from BadgeProvider

Thanks Nexus!
I had the problem with a 1 stuck on my Phone icon [Samsung Galaxy S3, GT-i9300, Android 4.1.1]. This was a problem that persisted across the update from Android 4.0 to 4.1.
I followed a single step in your proposal:
-Clear data from "Badgeprovider"
And added step:
-Enter Phone app and exit.
This removed the badge, which seems fairly harmless I guess no backup is necessary for such an action.
Not to add flamebait, but coming from iOS, things like this gets on my nerve. Since I'm new to Android, I don't know if this is a bug coming from Android or from TouchWiz or something else Samsung slapped on. Please tell us if this is one argument to run vanilla Android on the S3!

Try....Settings - Application manager - All - BadgeProvider, Clear data and restart phone
it worked for me

SGS3 problem with losing all sounds

Hello,
I bought recently the new SGS3 and after a week or two of using I noticed the phone loses all the sounds despite all of them are turned on and not being on minimum. After a while the sounds get back and everything works fine. At first I thought it might be from the settings because I set up silent mode for all notifications and I thought it may turn all the sounds off, despite it normally shouldn't. After playing for a while with the phone I realized the issue appears randomly without any reasons while I was playing game or simply navigating through the phone. If anyone had experienced the same issue or have an idea what could be the problem (software, hardware, settings, OS, etc) or how it can be solved, please respond. Any answer is appreciated as the problem is quite annoying as I'm missing calls because of it.
Thank you.
Phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S III
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - I9300BOLF1
Kernel version - 3.0.15-782020
Build number - IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
P.S. Restart of the phone doesn't help as I already tried it. The issues is related to all the sounds not to the vibration, the last works fine.
Backup data and factory reset.

Thank you for your advise JJEgan, unfortunately it didn't help neither. Yesterday I did the factory reset and left it as it is, didn't restore any of my previous settings or apps, didn't install anything additional, just wanted to see if the problem will appear again, and unfortunately it did.
Anything else I can try or I should take it to a service?
Thank you
I have the same problem with notification sounds. The problem appears when i turn off notifications on apk like im+ or Yahoo messenger. Is there any other solution rather than factory rest?

Google Voice Notifications

Has anyone experienced problems with GV notifications? I don't get them while my phone is off, but as soon as I wake it up, the notifications appear. Any suggestions?
You may have power saver mode on and have selected shut data off when screen is off. I unchecked that and it worked fine for me. I'm just saying that happened to me. May not be whats happening to you.

Seems to be an issue with many people. Deleted text and voicemails somehow show up in your inbox. When I long press to delete them it actually gives me the option to "undelete". Not sure what is going on.

[Q] Can't answer incoming calls

Hi,
[I'm posting here because I'm new at xda-developers forum and it won't let me post into the development threads.]
Yesterday I installed a new Beanstalk ROM (with Android 4.4.2) on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100). Everything worked well from the beginning except... that incoming calls could not be answered. The phone rings, and a rectangle shows at the bottom of the screen, without the number / picture of the caller (even though it knows the caller because it's in the contacts). It seems like the screen stops responding the moment the phone begins to ring. Also, there are no "Accept / Reject" buttons to drag the rectangle to. The only thing I can do is press the Power button to lock the phone, but it doesn't help - pressing it again to wake the phone brings me back to the same state - phone still rings, but nothing can be done.
A google search revealed that the same problem existed on a Nexus 5 device, and Google suggested to do a factory reset. So I did... and after that, I could answer incoming calls. But a few hours have passed, and I made a couple of reboots (manually), and again - can't answer incoming calls. Does anyone have a solution?
There was another small issue, which is much less important - after logging in to my gmail account, the apps weren't automatically downloaded, as with other ROMs.
Thanks,
Shlomy

1) reboot to recovery and then do wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then reboot the phone and see
2) Also open the phone app and go to it settings (press the menu key for the same) and once there Scroll down to 'Interface' heading and there uncheck 'Non Intrusive' and see

Thanks a lot for the quick answer! Is this supposed to solve the problem entirely? The factory reset solved it for limited time...
Can you also please provide a link that explains this?

There is no link ma8, ALways a wipe cache/Dalvik will solve many issue's for u, give it a try and see.
Also u can check other KK based roms like 'Slimkat' or 'Omni' for instance and see

Well... I did (1), and it didn't solve the issue. I'm not sure what it was good for - when I install a new ROM, does it come with a cache? I thought all these custom ROMs come with no cache (and Dalvik cache) at all and these are filled-up when booting the ROM for the first time.
I also did (2), and this solved the issue indeed (giving up the non-intrusive interface which I don't need anyway). Thanks a lot for your replies!
I don't like to check other KK ROMs as long as this one is okay. I think the ROM is really great.
Thanks again!

Although (2) solved the main issue - I can now accept or reject calls - I am still interested to know why the "non-intrusive" dialog doesn't work for me, while it works for others using the same ROM on the same device. I see the incoming call card, with an icon (that should show the picture of the caller), but nothing else in this card, it is just white with no buttons.

[Q] How to backup contacts from phone?

Note : This is my Mom's phone. It is not mine.
The phone (Galaxy S 2) suddenly have popups of "unfortunately" notification that keeps on looping to pop out every time i tapped ok.
The phone get extremely slow and i cant access the setting or other ui.
Lets just say that the touch screen is not working. because i cant tap other interface except the notification area.
My mom said that her contact was saved in the phone but not in the google.
So what im trying to do here is, hard reseting the phone to the stock rom but i need to backup all the contacts and I cant do so.
I tried connecting to the SAMSUNG KIES but it takes lifetime to connect.
Any solutions?
sorry for my bad english.

Anyone else got this issue?

I have the Huawei Mate 20 Pro unlocked. However, one major bug that is annoying me so much to the point of potentially changing phone is when I get a notification that I received say for example an email, I swipe down to see the preview and then I have to press the Delete button several times - Im talking sometimes 6-7 times - for it to delete the email.
Anyone else got this issue and any ideas how to resolve it?
Cheers
Robert

I don't have this issue with any app and first time I see a post about it so guessing most people are ok.
You might want to try the option to reset phone settings (doesn't wipe data or apps) to see if it fixes it?
Same issue. Happens with Gmail. Except I think the issue is more of a delay (for me atleast). After pressing delete, I have to wait several seconds (usually over 5 seconds) for the notification to disappear).

Dont know about the other guys, but tried this, plus it was happening on my first LG screen mate 20 pro and then on 2 replacements afterwards so dont think its the phone, personally I think its a bug in the OS but doesnt appear to be widespread.
