I'm having a weird issue with my voicemail shortcut on the home screen. I try to hold down on it to either move it, edit it or remove it and it doesn't respond. All other icons work as they should. Anyone have an idea why only the voicemail app is having this issue?

Keep trying. You just have to press it just the right way. Never takes me more than 5 tries....
Same issue every time I try a fresh ROM. It is a peculiar and annoying, yet simple to resolve issue. Just keep trying.

I recently started having this problem where I keep getting 2 notifications for texts after using 2.1
I use handscent sms and turned off all notifications from the default messaging app but they both still notify me of a new text. Its annoying itll vibrate twice, ringer twice. plus I cant even get the default sms thing in the notification bar to go away unless I manually clear it. Never had this problem for the months I had this phone before the update.
Anyone come across this or know how to fix it?

Google always works.
google brought me right to this post. so at least the next guy with this problem will be able to fix it if anyone has an answer....? I cant be the first one with this stupid double notification.
seemingly, after disabling notifications, removing the messages shortcut from the homescreen does the trick, although i havn't tried this myself.
you wont loose the messaging its still in your APPS list.
just tried it and it does work

I had the problem for the longest time. I eventually found out that it was the SMS widget in Beautiful Widgets that was causing the problem, even though you hadn't activated it. Uninstall Beautiful Widgets and see if it works.

yep it was the beautiful widgets sms thing thanks a lot man. I didnt have to uninstall it I just went in to the options and turned it off.
Simply open messaging and select setting by pressing menu key...
Disable notifications...!!!
Worked for me. ;-)

i had the same problem a while back too. and by disabling the notifications it still didn't work. what i ended up doing was clearing the SMS center number under network settings and retyping it in manually. worked like a charm

Is anyone else having problems with widget locker? Sometimes it'll randomly stop working and the screen becomes black except for the status bar, then I get a popup that it's frozen so I hit force close and i have to hit force close for it close. I usually have to reboot after it closes for it to work properly again.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Yes I'm having problems as well lots of force closes... what do u mean "widget locker"? When an app or anything really malfunctions open the app drawer and long press the app. It will pop up a little box, click app info and then u can force it to stop.. this should alleviate the need for reboot..

Widget Locker is an app. It's a lockscreen replacement. For some reason money FC's and freezes a lot. Its the only thing that's giving me problems.

I seem to have that issue with "money" a lot also.
Sorry couldn't help my self. Sorry you are having issues, but I can't run WL even on stock... it's very buggy for me.
GL, Slim!
I have noticed CM7 and MIUI both have problems with Super User keeping the permissions set for apps that require root access. I find a lot of the apps that require root permissions act this way. Try turning off root helper in widget locker settings if you have that enabled and see if it still happens.
i did have an issue with giving root access to widget locker. the app would freeze, but once I did a reboot and tried again it worked. Now the only issue I have is I can not expand the notification window from the lockscreen. Never had an issue on stock GB, or using eclipse rom. but with CM7 i can not get to the notification window from the lockscreen.
oh oopsies sorry about the typo i just realized. anyways, i'll try the disabling root permissions when i get a chance. its comforting somehow to know that it's not just me
I have the same issue. Disabling the Root Helper fix it.
Before taking it into the sprint store. I was hoping someone in here has some input.
Stock Photon.
This morning my wifes photon got stuck getting into the home screen. It unlocks but all we see is a black screen with the status bar icons on top. Battery is full. I tried to take battery out, same issue.
I could see the home page when i use the power button but very slightly. Anyone know what could have caused this? And is there a way to uninstall an app using google play store through a desktop? After a while we get the force close from magic locker and the phone restarts. Im assuming its magic locker causing the issue.

I'm running .211 on a razr and when I press a quick contact on the homescreen it comes up with the text messaging app in the background instead of just the homescreen also after I make a call and hangup it goes to txt app instead of the homescreen I have to press home after I hangup. Is that happening to anyone else? It seams really weird like after i hangup a call i have to press the home button again to get back to homescreen.
Bump...anyone else have this happen with a contact shortcut on there desktop?
It could happen if you are using a launcher app and have not set a default launcher.
Just a thought...
You could try using back and backing out of the messaging app and then do the routine again and see if that works.

Ya it doesn't start doing it until you start the txt app for instance if i reboot the phone and don't open the text app it doesn't do it until the text app has opened but this just doesn't seam right im just trying to see if this is how ICS is or if i need to wipe and start fresh.
Does anyone else have this happen on there phones?

It happens using the default launcher and using apex set to default im just trying to see if this is normal behavior for ICS .211.
Can someone try to put a contact shortcut on one of there homescreens and test this out for me? When you press the shortcut does the TXT app open up in the background and then when you make a call and hangup from the quick contact does it just go home or does it go back to txt app then you have to press home again to get to homescreen.
I just want to figure out if this is normal or somethings wacky on my phone.
Is this a bug? I can's see this as being normal as it is very annoying...
Hi is anyone else having this issue with RR 2.6
1) When you are in the Messaging app and you have a message open for example, if you receive a new SMS whilst the messaging app is open, you dont hear a SMS notification?
2) Also holding down the power button to bring up the power menu, i select silent mode, yet i still hear some sounds like calendar notifications etc. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
Ah hang on ive figured out number 2. Still have the no notification of new SMS prob though.
3) ive noticed that when charging, when it gets to 100% it doesnt say fully charged. Just keeps on charging. Anyone else had this?
Ok update:
2.6.1 seems to have resolved the motification sound when messaging app is open.
Another issue is why is the messaging apps box where you type the text only only line and there is no enter key?
I take it no one has come across the SMS notification thing then? It just doesnt make a sound when you have the messaging app open???

Happened to mine too when I was with RR v2.6 at least once a day. But now it's all gone after updating to RR v2.6.1.
Dude instead of posting and posting why don't you just edit your comment? Did you see the xda noob video?
