Frustration - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I've had 24 hours with my new Verizon Note 2 and it's been very frustrating. Coming off the N7000 I figured it would be a breeze to set up, not the case at all. Without getting into exporting and importing, some of the issues I've been having include the following:
K9 will not work with my primary gmail email.
No wifi button in the pull down header.
Screen only 4 icons across.
Text msg icon will not refresh after looking at a text. Have to turn restart the phone for #of messages to disappear.
Google Voice widget only works sporadically. Rarely downloads the audio.
I hope some if not all of these are solvable. But so far I've had not luck...

All those quick buttons on the pull down header and NO wifi.. that's mind boggling to me too. I'm waiting for root and some roms to fix that I guess.
4 Icons across.. I loaded up Nova Launcher. This huge screen has way too much open space stock. With Nova I added another column and row of icons. Looks much better!
I'm having NO issues with the txt message icon refreshing after opening a text. I did notice that my brother's Note 2 (on sprint) has this little bubble that appears on the lock screen above the app message icon.. a small bubble that's pretty clear that has a "1" in it for the new message. I couldn't find that on my phone.
I can't comment on the others.. I only use Gmail and don't use the GV widget.

I've been using Nova Launcher to change my grid and app drawer (decided on 5x6 I think). The same should fix your notification count for unread SMS/emails/calls.
Beautiful Widgets has a toggle widget for a ton of stuff, Wifi included.
I like the native Gmail app. Love the widget.
Not much of a fix for any of your issues, but they're good alternatives until we get rooted/ROMed.

I like Nova Launcher but I don't like losing some s-pen functionality. I'll stay stock till rook comes along. I want to add functionalty, not lose it.

What S-Pen functionality is lost? I've running Nova, and so far I'm able to use the S-Pen in all of the same ways as I can when I'm using the stock launcher.

Page buddy would be one. I like S-pen page buddy popping open upon removing my s pen. makes it convenient for others in my household to pick up and use the Note 2. Headphone page buddy is nice too.

That's not so much S-Pen functionality as it is a function of the stock Touch Whiz launcher on the Note 2. It's similar to losing some of the Touch Whiz widgets when using a third-party launcher. So yeah, by using a third-party launcher you do loose some from functionality from the stock launcher, but you retain full S-Pen functionality.
Personally, I turned Page Buddy off as soon as I received the phone because I found it annoying. But I can see how it would be useful for some people.

Does it work with any accounts? If so and not Gmail it's probably configuration. K9's pretty popular so if all N2's couldn't use it to access Gmail I'd imagine more people would be complaining. You can set up GMail via ActiveSync in the stock e-mail client and get push notifications. Using the stock client also gets you native multiview support.
No wifi button in the pull down header.

Try removing the Google Voice app and reinstalling it. Don't know what to tell you about the MMS counter.
I know it's a pain in the ass but you may want to hard reset your device and see if any/all of these issues are present without your apps on it. Not all apps play nice with JB.

The WiFi toggle isn't there on the Verizon version of the Note 2. Instead of the toggle, we get the annoying ongoing notification about WiFi seen in the attached screenshot. Verizon did the same thing with the Galaxy S3.

Is there an app that makes your data connection look like a Wifi connection? (jailbroken iDevices had something called 3G Unrestrictor). That might solve the stupid popup.

That won't get rid of the ongoing notification. When you connect to WiFi, it changes to say that you're connected to WiFi. It stays there regardless. The only way to permanently get rid of it is with root.

Wow. Sorry guys. I just assumed simple stuff would be unmolested from the international version. VZW seems to enjoy adding their special touches to their versions of various devices.

For the wifi notification just longpress it and hit app info. It will take you to android system. Force close it and the wifi notification will be gone until you reboot.

Just use a home switcher app and switch simultaneously between tw &nova.
I'm gonna try this.
I'm gonna switch my default to tw and delete all screens except 1 of course. But stay on nova. Then when I pull out the s-pen hit home and go straight to the buddy Page.
Either that or create an entire Page in nova with s-pen apps & their corresponding widgets.

List of useful apps - verified to work on the Note

I thought we could list useful apps we've installed, and a quick summary of why. While browsing the Market I see a lot of comments "doesn't work with X", so I figured since we are blazing a new trail with our Notes we can save each other some aggravation and list ones we've found that definitely work.
Missed Message Flasher by TomatoX. Calendar only gives you one notification of an upcoming appointment, this lets you get multiple notifications until you stop it. Works for missed calls, texts, calendar and many others. I found the test notification in the setup does NOT work, but it does work for a real appointment. Haven't tried it with texts, calls yet. Edit 2/21, so far it doesn't appear to work with texts, let me know if you find otherwise. May try other options tonight. Edit 3/5, I'm still not sure I'm getting repeated notifications for anything other than calendar items, still testing.
Opera Mobile by Opera. Can't stand that the built-in browser can't identify as a desktop browser, but Opera Mobile can.
GPS Status & Toolbox by EclipSim. Nice real-time verification of all of your GPS stats, accelerometer, level, compass. Nice bonus, shows battery stats too (temp, %).
HotSpot Toggle by Mehdy Bohlool. One-click activation of the wifi hotspot. A little annoying that it doesn't line up with the other icons on the home screens, but it works.
XiiaLive Lite by Visual Blasters. For streaming ASX/WMA. I have a lifetime Internet account with SiriusXM. The sound quality from XiiaLive is much better than the SiriusXM app - the bit rate from the Sirius app is awful. I'm using this with a free online service called MusicDock. Use their "Windows Mobile" site (mentioned at the bottom of their home page) along with this app and you are golden.
Equalizer by Smart Android Apps. Simple, but works to modify the audio output, including on Blutooth.
Added 2/22
Battery Indicator by Darshan Computing. Same as Battery Percentage but is half the size (1/2 MB vs. 1 MB) and is easier to read IMO. No way to modify the stock indicator w/o rooting, so for now I'm using this instead.
CPU Spy by storm717. Very small. Lets you see how much time your CPU spends in each speed, including how much time it sleeps. If your battery is draining quickly this will let you see if it is ever sleeping.
Added 2/29
Word Feud by Berthussen IT. Scrabble-like game.
Added 3/05
AirDroid by SAND Studio. Way better than Keis Air - ability to transfer files, txt messaging, etc via wifi.
Music Volume EQ by K & K Design. Works well, autostarts, includes features other than just a basic EQ.
AndroSensor by Fiv Asim. Displays outputs and current draw from all of the sensors in the Note, including barometer.
Added 3/13
Screen Filter by haxor industry. Much more effective than using Dimmer (listed below). Allows you to dim just as much as you want, or as little as you want. So you can go really dark at let's say 20%, or if you just think the stock auto-brightness is a little too bright, you can permanently apply a 75% filter to dim it down just a little and still let the auto feature do its job. I'm currently trying that. Only problem is as you get to the really dark settings you get a noticable gray coloration to the whole screen - minor and an acceptable trade-off. You can set up multiple home screen shortcuts for multiple settings. Can work along with Dimmer but it is pointless, I just uninstalled Dimmer.
Added 3/23
Screen On by Konstantinos Polychronis. Keeps the screen on for selected apps, or when charging. For instance, Google Maps where you don't want the screen to turn off (and loose your position). This is a tentative recommendation - at first it was flaky (didn't keep the screen on) for some apps but seems to be better after rebooting. I'll report back after a while. After selecting your applications from the list don't forget to enable the application with the checkbox in the upper left corner.
Calendar Snooze by Bitfire-development. Adds lots of snooze options to calendar notifications, more initial notification options and more reminder notification options. I still use Missed Message Flasher for text and Google Talk, but I turned off reminders for calendar in MMF and use Calendar Snooze instead. Mostly because it allows you to set a pattern for vibrate instead of having just one long vibration. I notice it better when it pulses several times.
Added 4/9
Increasing Ring by sashomasho. Increases the volume of your ringer and/or clock alarm, so you can start off completely silent or nearly silent and increase the volume over time. Gives you a chance to grab your phone and answer or reject a call without it blaring at top volume on the first ring. Note that it increases the volume based on your current ring setting so make sure you turn your ring volume below full volume or it will appear that the app isn't working.
Can recommend but don't use anymore
Dimmer (Night Mode) by geekyouup. One-click ability to dim your display as far as it will go. The stock brightness slider will only take you to "30", this takes you to "10". A noticeable difference especially in a dark room. Screen Filter (listed above) works much better and is more versatile so I removed this app.
Can no longer recommend
Equalizer by Smart Android Apps. Would randomly stop modifying the audio stream even though the app was still listed in the task manager. Also had to re-start after every reboot. Found another equalizer (listed above) which doesn't have either problem. Also I think it sounds better.
SiriusXM Internet Radio by SiriusXM Radio Inc. Doesn't let you force a specific quality, and found an aftermarket solution (listed above) which sounds much better.
Battery Percentage & Temp by Global Developers Adds a battery percentage display as a permanent notification. Battery Indicator (above) is easier to read and the app is half the size of this one.
Please list your own useful apps...
Good list, although this probably belongs in the Galaxy Note Themes and Apps forums.
Some other adds:
Skitch - Evernote add-on that supports sketching. A lot like S Memo, but it has a bit deeper integration with Evernote if you're using that.
iAnnotate Lite - Download from the Samsung App Store to ensure Galaxy Note compatibility. Great tool for marking up PDFs.
Currents - Works great on the Note. The bigger screen really lets you take advantage of the magazine-like layout similar to what you see on a tablet.
I'll add Sketchbook (Mobile) to the list. Pro is still tablet only.
Also, Fruit Ninja and Spirit HD, both of which I've found are great with the S-Pen. The latter locked up and crashed last I played, though; not sure if this will be a recurring issue. EDIT 2/22 - Skip Spirit HD for now. The crashing is consistent, closing the app after two or three levels every time.

Likewise. I use Tweetcaster Pro, a lot better than all of the twitter app out there.
I use Mr. Number for blocking spam / private / blocked numbers. But for some reason the app thinks I'm not in the US, hence why I'm having issues with it at the moment but it's still working regardless.
Streamzoo / MyTubo - for picture editing. Not close to instagram but it does the trick.

Lol.....indeed.
Made a few updates to my list.
For anyone that uses a bluetooth headset and is tired of pocket dials, Proximity Service works well to keep the screen off while in the pocket. It takes a bit to get used to it with regard to how you work with the device, but it is less of of an issue with the Note than it was with my LG Optimus.

[q] Use Voice search instead of S voice

So, if you have ever tried s voice, you probably understand my frustration with it. I much prefer googles own voice search. Is there anyway to map the s voice double click home button to the google voice search instead? I miss my search key.
looks like for now...You just have to either use the widget...or long press the menu button.
BTW...since i don't use S Voice...disabling the double tap cause no lag when hitting home now. B-)

Google search widget?
Hey fellow galaxy s3 owners! Hoping you can help me find the google voice search widget to put on my home screen on the gs3. Neither me or my wife think S Voice works as good as Google Voice Search but I cannot find the widget on either of our phones. I know I can put the long search bar but I just wanted the mic button. Thanks for your help!
Forgot to mention both phones are using Go Launcher EX and are not rooted.

I know about the search bar. What I am looking for is just the microphone widget by itself. I don't want the large search bar taking up that much room.
I kinda figured out a work around for just displaying the Microphone widget. Add the full length bar widget like in jgalan14's screenshot and then resize it down to a 1x1. Doesn't look great but at least the google voice search widget is on my screen for easy access without having that large bar.
Copy and pasted my post from another forum that was only about an hour ago..
I was bored and started playing with the google voice search to see what kind of quick answers it would give me at the top of google..to see if it could be a google now lite or something. It did alright.
Then I thought...hey why not give Svoice another shot?
I'll click search the web
umm...this looks odd...i'll click view desktop version
I guess this wouldn't be that bad....if i could actually zoom out and make the text smaller...which i can't do.
Holy ****. :bowrofl: I said the first time I used it there has to be some kind of settings error or something thats not allowing this thing to work. It couldn't tell me how tall Lebron James is, kept cutting me off, told me there was a network error after i asked it to turn wifi off. The first two times I asked it to turn wifi off, it asked me who i wanted to call. It sometimes missed or even added simple words I never even said (the, of, or etc) Couldn't understand basic words, made Corvette plural....If you click search the web even the google webpage is all fubar. All zoomed in and you can't really change it or make it look right. Basically looks like viewing google on a phone from 5 years ago. Not to mention sometimes the app becomes unresponsive to the voice command. I sat there and said my unlock command 30 diffrent times in every different tone and volume you could imagine until i finally just hit the button.
Holy hell this has to be the worst app ever made lol

Maybe install Vlingo and use it's widget? I think it has a microphone widget.
I cannot remember if you can tell Vlingo to use Google search though.

this has to be the worst app i've ever used.
I've been playing with it the last few minutes sitting here wondering how in THEE HELLLLL did they get it to work so well on stage? And it wasn't *that* bad in the demo's...it passed the woodchuck test even.
I can confidently say this thing will give you an answer less than 5% of the time. I've gotten maybe 3 or 4 answers and when I do get an answer it gives me a huge long list that I have to scroll to the top to actually find the answer.
90% of the time if it acutally understands what you are saying it says I'm sorry I dont have the answer, would you like me to search the web?
It mishears you a lot too. Cuts you off every now and then. Seems you have to hit the button or say the wake command between every single question with the app open too.
I have asked it the most basic questions in the world for the last 10-15 minutes and the only answers I got were to- When did Mickey Mantle die and who is Michael Jackson, and what a stock is worth. Every time it finds an answer it takes 5-10 seconds to give me an answer, and thats on wifi.
Could answer me all sorts of common knowledge sports questions, music questions, questions about who owns a company or a team. Who makes the Corvette, when the first mustang was made, how tall Lebron James is (which was also demonstrated to work)
I almost refuse to believe the app is THIS bad. I've fiddled with settings and nothing has improved. Its almost as if they want you to click search the web every time so they get some kind of hits or credit or something. Its just baffling.
I completely agree that S Voice is as bad as on mine and my wife's phone as your experience jd. It is THAT bad. lol You have to just laugh about it. :laugh:
Install Nova launcher. You don't have to use the launcher, but it makes available shortcuts that you can use in any launcher.
Use the shortcut, "Nova Launcher" (available under "Widgets" in TW Launcher), and choose voice search.

You can also try using the shortcut, "Activities," scroll down to "Voice Search," click that, then click, "RecognitionActivity." That should do the same thing.

List of changes on Kit Kat for the G2 (Vodafone DE)

I think this deserves its own thread so more people will be able to get a better view of the Vodafone Kit Kat update which i got today as an OTA ( D80220A DE 16GB ).
1. Auto brightness works perfectly (although it's a bit dark in low light conditions,maybe my eyes have to get used to it)
2. Knock on is instant, works perfectly and it's 100% accurate and successful (led light flashes cyan instead of white)
3. Auto account sync now works perfectly(it used to refresh randomly)
4. Battery life is actually better
5. Some apps run faster and they have the 3 dot option which first appeared on 4.3 I think?
6. Locations services and gps have merged to a single toggle button but you can still switch to different modes. Also more battery efficient.
7. White icons on status bar and transparency for status bar + front touch buttons on apps that support it

Issues:
1. "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error showing up after each boot
(Note : Reportedly a hard reset fixes this)
(Note 2 : I confirmed that SwiftKey causes the error and it should be resolved by an app update.
Vote for the bug here: http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...stions/5560697-foreclose-on-lg-g2-at-t-kitkat)
2. The Bluetooth process is running even when off but i don't see high impact on battery life as others mentioned.
Eventually people will report the issue and it will be fixed in a future update.
3. Noise and hissing when playing music with earphones and the stock player.
4. Sometimes,when plugging in the headphones the sound comes only from the the phone speaker and only way to resolve this is by rebooting.
(As for the lower benchmark scores after KitKat i've never tried it and i couldn't care less)

Additional thoughts:
This update is more like an "under the hood" job ! Phone feels smoother and stable overall, many small issues have been sorted and a few details here and there were refined and polished, resulting in a stock Rom the way it should be done. In short words I'm very satisfied.
Feel free to ask me questions
Regards!

True I don't either!
+1 You can swipe up the notification panel from everywhere, even from free space - on Jelly Bean, you had to grab the bar at the bottom.
I'm not sure if this is KK related or it has been there before but when I receive an incoming call while I'm browsing a small window pops up with the caller info and 'answer' and 'reject' buttons so you won't get interrupted by calls if your doing something which is a really nice feature!

Wao this is a very positive review regarding update. Seems like it was well worth the wait.
I'll be very glad if Auto Brightness is working fine now.
Two questions
1. Opening threads in messages app seem to take a second in JB. Any difference felt in kitkat?
2. Photos taken as portrait come out as landscapes in PC and have to set them as portrait again in windows. Kitkat solves this?

It's faster like 1/4 of a sec than before that's y i didn't use the stock sms app but it's ok now @Cienight Music playback uses less power definitely.That was a major kitkat change and LG applied it well here.I listen to alot of music so I know.
anyone know how to get rid of bluetooth running in background even though its not on?
I found that the rotation on home screen from portrait to landscape is smoother.
No widgets redraw or stutter like on JB.
Thats a good thing..

there was a suggestion to choose only bluetooth from the battery saver items and turn it on immediately but i tried that and it doesnt woek.
Can you try swiping the navigation bar downwards? I saw a video about a KK review on G2 and he can hide / show the nav bar by swiping gesture. Please confirm?
The bluetooth service doesnt seem to run on the Korean version guys.Maybe they fixed it?
I found another issue guys tho i dont know if its only on my end:
When using the quick window case there was supposed to be music controls when playing music with the stock player,no?
Anyone that can confirm this?

Cannot disable S Planner Notifications!

Am using a UK Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Kitkat and the latest versions of all system and 3rd party apps.
I have Samsung's S Planner notifications switched OFF.
However, if I create an event with notifications using either Google Calendar and/or my preferred calendar, Business Calendar Pro, S Planner notifications still pop up/sound. IE, I get multiple notifications for the same event - very annoying!
Even if I FORCE STOP S Planner, it re-enables itself after phone sleep or reset and the notifications switch back on!
NOTE: The 'Show Notifications' checkbox in the 'App Info' dialog is ON but greyed out, so cannot be switched OFF.
Is this Samsung trying to force their apps on us or is it a bug?
Many thanks!

Simplest way Open app info for S planner... See if the show notifications is highlighted... If yes then untick the option... It'll never show notifications again till you enable it back again...

Not rooted, and yes, I have disabled the app using FORCE STOP. It re-enables itself. That is the problem.
(This problem is recent and since some software upgrades from Samsung, and possibly the Kitkat upgrade of a month or so ago.)

Am sure this is a Samsung issue, but many thanks for your help. I know that under normal circumstances, your tips would work, but there appears to be a major bug in S Planner or their underlying firmware. I have found other references to this problem online going back a few years, so it may be unique to specific combinations of Android version, device, apps etc.
I'll write to Samsung and see how good their tech support is!

Hello,
I've got the same problem since the last Kitkat upgrade one month ago on my Galaxy S4.
I've tried lot of things but the S-Planner notification re-enable themselves after phone sleep or reset.
Did you get a chance to have some more informaiton from Samsung support?
Thanks

...and sold my otherwise excellent (but too large to use one handed) Note 3 and bought a used Moto X, which a) Has no notification issues (in fact, it has the smartest notification system of any phone - Android or iOS) b) Fits in hand nicely. c) Is very well thought out.
Bought a Note 10.1 2014 32GB Black LTE for my stylus work, and it's superb. No notification probs, but then I have not installed any 3rd party calendars, it only has S-Planner on it.
solved
Here is a solution that worked on my Galaxy S3: install system tuner pro, go to system apps and freeze s planner, I did it, rebooted, tested and the obnoxious s planner no longer shows up when a calendar event triggers a notification. Probably you have to be rooted.
I had the same problem on a note 2. In my case, it was solved by opening the s planner apps, going to settings, and disabling notifications there.
Hope this helps.

No, that doesn't fix it as notifications turn themselves back on in S-Planner after a while (not even after an app update).
If you remove all calendars from S-Planner (to remove the stimulus of the notifications) then Google Cal doesn't work, which drives aCalendar+ that is my main calendar app. I only use this because in S-Planner you cannot copy an event, if you could I'd stick with that.
Note 3 on Lollipop.
Just to clarify, I opened the splanner apps and then went to the settings within the app to disable notifications. I didn't go to system settings / apps / splanner / disable notifications (I tried that first, but it didn't work).
Strange that it doesn't work for everyone!

I'm using a Note 4 right now. I see what you mean when it gets greyed but what I also noticed is that if you go to the App Manager, you actually see TWO S Planner's. One of them, which is 32.00KB large, has the options greyed out but if you look at the one that's 0.00B large, it will have those options available. I don't know if it works though. I just tried it now.
EDIT: The app is still in the app drawer. So I guess what I'll do is go to menu/Calendars and just disable my google calendar so it no longer syncs.
EDIT 2: Never mind. Scratch everything what I said. This is ridiculous!
Hi everyone,
longobedience is right, it's actually within the app that we can operate S-Planner notifications.
Here's the screenshot =>
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm actually just testing it right now.

I am still having this issue as well. It seems to be the only app you can't disable and I am really sick of getting 2 notifications for everything (I use Google calander but keeps syncing to s planner no matter what I do).

AOD Customizer Module [UPDATE: 11.20.18 v1.0.2]

This is a simple yet cool module to customize the AOD Display on the Galaxy S7. Only S7 is supported currently because that is the phone that I currently own and can test with.
Whats it do?
As of 3.8.18:
- Allows for a text label to be displayed below the icon. This text label is of the "title" parameter from the notification itself. If the notification uses a "RemoteViews" layout, then the "title" parameter will be empty and no label is shown. It works great with Textra SMS and Snapchat to show who they are from. I can customize each notification per app but need a list of apps to further support.
- The text label is fully customizable, text color, size, and maximum width are fully adjustable.
UPDATE: 6.22.18
- Added a crap ton of stuff.. See screenshots
To Do:
- I might add long press on icon to clear notification (if this is possible, I think it is though.) <- Not possible
- Also, possibility for full customization of the clock and positioning of everything. As of now, the defaults are fine with me personally <- Still thinking about this, might make it so you can literally make your own
- Music controls always on bottom of display (maybe) <- Moved to below notifications due to reasons

Hi
I have an s7 (SM-G930F) but with the AOD layout I have... the text is almost completely gone.
For ideas you can maybe look at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-galaxyxmod-t3410719
All I miss is the grouping of same notification. For example: I loved too see the Facebook-notification-icon with just the number of notifications below that. Instead of like 4 separate notifications-icons.
And maybe how it could add a picture to any AOD layout.

Hmm, my layout did that the first time too, but I fixed. Can you send me your aodservice apk? Also sorry for the "PIZZA TIME" that was my default if a title couldn't be retrieved xD I thought I got rid of it, guess not xD.
As for the grouping, I saw in the code, there seems to already be a method there. I will see why its disabled but I can always add my own.
But what I am understanding - 5 people message you via Facebook messenger, you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it? I can do that, thats quite easy. I prefer having all 5 expanded with the names, so I can reply to one. Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?
Replacing image is no problem, just know that it will consume battery faster when a non black and white image is present.
Hope you can add s8 support someday, it looks kinda cool

Suggestion for future function: add a second or even third line of notification icons instead of the plus sign on stock.

Do you know how many notifications are required before that plus is created? I noticed in the code a "Max notifications" variable. Adding the feature of multiple lines shouldn't be too difficult

Sorry for the late reply.
Wow I see my screenshot was pretty big.. Didn't see that on my mobile
Didn't even see the "'PIZZA TIME' either.
I see in your second post you already do grouping? That looks good.
"you want one icon (the apps default notification icon) with how many notifications that app has below it?"
I don't really understand this one, but if I get 2 notification I would like to see 1 icon with: (2).
"Would you also like an "expanded view" option? Say you double click on the icon, and a new window pops up with the individual notifications present? Or maybe a triple click, or even a swipe down gesture?"
Sound good. But double tap is already a function on the icon's. So maybe long press or something? Or make it an option in what way to acitvate?
AOD apk is attached.

Haven't noticed yet, will check when I wake up in the morning, that's when I have a lot of notifications. Lol
Lol, took me 10 mins, still haven't figured out how to attach a screenshot.
Anyways, only 4 icons were shown before the + sign was introduced, but I think that's because my icons ass more spaced out due to long titles(didn't use title wrap in the app), and out of the 4, 2 were grouped notifications. Hope this is useful.

Yep! Its definitely 4! I found the code. Now just gotta figure out how to add a new row.. Shouldn't be too bad. Just gotta find time. Have a paper due and an exam on Friday.
Also, for the notification title that is really long, I can make it so it scrolls across instead of wrapping (i think, things behave differently in AOD due to making sure the device can deep sleep)

Great idea for the scrolling titles!
But can you make it optional, because not everyone would want it that way.
