Words with Friends ongoing notification - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I stumbled across another thread that went unsolved (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37479033) and was wondering if anyone had the same problem? I've been able to clear it on rare occasions though.
As you can see, there is no clear notifications button since it is apparently an ongoing task. So far the only way to fix it is to obviously just turn them off. Any ideas?

Same Problem
I have the exact same issue. I contacted Zynga support to see if it was a bug, but they had no idea why it was occurring. The last response they gave me was "We forwarded a report to our team for an immediate review in regards with your game issue. Rest assured that a fix will be applied with the soonest time possible."

When are HTC gonna fix the text bug???

Today, I was caught out for the second time by the unintended SMS recipient bug, where you go to send a text to someone and the phone selects a totally random contact. Normally I'll spot it before I send but it's an accident waiting to happen. This time, I sent a romantic text to my friend instead of the wife, last time I sent a text to the ex instead of my wife! No damage done thankfully but it's totally unacceptable and I've had my phone since Oct 2009. At this rate I'll need a new phone before HTC fix this bloody issue.
When Google finally acknowledged the issue recently I raised (a third) support call with HTC who said they'd fix it when Google issued a fix. Recently Google have started rolling out a fix to 2.3 Nexus S users. Anyone have any intelligence when (if?) this is going to come to 2.1???
never heard of this problem
As above. I havnt heard of this bug effecting 2.1....
Ive heard it effects 2.2+
Hate to break it to you, but the hero is basically dead to HTC now. It has been superseded by so many phones now, HTC are never going to provide any further updates to it. The best you can hope for is a dev will integrate the fix into cyanogenmod 7, if they haven't already.
I can assure you it does affect 2.1 and I've seen various other people say so in other threads. The mate I sent the wrong message to has a Magic and he says it affects him too - not sure what version of Android he's running.
I hadn't seen Google refer to the issue as specific to any particular revision but, if people have been reporting it since June and a fix has been rolled out to 2.3, it would seem to suggest a fairly generic issue.
Like many people I'm pretty disappointed with HTC but I may still stick with them for my next phone as I have an aversion to Samsung and Motorola.
What carrier/country are you in? i also own a magic and still have never had this problem?
I'm on Orange in the UK, dunno what network my mate is on.
To be precise (because there are two bugs really) this is the one where you go to a contact details, select "Send message" and it takes you to the conversation thread for another contact. It would appear to occur randomly however it usually seems to affect texts I send to my wife. This could be because I text her more than anyone else. However once it has done this once it will affect that contact (and not others) until I reboot the phone. I reckon it's some kind of stack issue.
I've had this happen once or twice. Wasn't a huge deal but yeah I've noticed it on 2.1 haven't on 2.2 though

May have somethign to do with the amount of conversations stored? i rarely have more than 3 due to flash nightlies EVERY night
Upgrade!
My hero received an OTA update today taking it to software level 3.36.405.1.
The only posts I've seen relating to this update indicate that it fixes issues to do with the Peep app. MF that, what about basic stuff like making it send messages to the right people?! Anyone know anything more about this upgrade?
Edit:
I noticed that the upgrade added a bunch of bookmarks to my browser, which I was thankfully able to delete. For all of yesterday I even thought that ordering my bookmarks alphabetically would finally persist but no, today they're back in the order added! I mean, if you're going to bother with an OTA update why wouldn't you fix something like this? At over 6MB I'm guessing there have been some other changes with this update, time will tell if the text bug has been addressed but I'm thinking this is just a HTC update rather than anything to do with Android?

[Q] Stock Email text wrapping issue

Hi all. I have the sg2 and I love it. Running Calkunlins E4GT v2.8.1 Rom and it flies. Great battery really nothing to complain about until you have to read an email. I use exchange server for business and rely heavily on my phone for emails. I have called Samsung, chatted with Samsung and emailed with Samsung about this issue and none seams to know what I am talking about or how to resolve the issue. I came from the HTC Evo and this was not an issue. I have tried several different ROMS and I have checked with other people who have the same phone and we all have the same problem. Frankly I am surprised there isn't a fix or more people complaining about this. The issue is the text does not wrap in emails and a word will be broken and split between 2 lines. This makes it very annoying to read emails on my phone and I read a lot of emails. I have attached a screenshot of an example. If anyone know how to resolve this issue I would love to know. I have tried looking in all the settings for a way to format it but I cannot seem to find anything. When I called Samsung they basically told me they didn't have a solution and they were sorry. When I chatted with them they told me to call, and when I repeatedly emailed them about the issue even after I told them in an email that when I called they had no answer they continuously told me to call. They had no interest in attempting to figure out why this is happening. thanks for your time.

Notifications woes

So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here
neowin.net/forum/topic/1163306-android-notifications-woes-with-whatsapp/[/url]
Which eventually led me to post here so.
Edit: just figured this is posted in verizon gs4... is there a forum for international unlocked 9500? would a mod be so kind to move it without deleting this?

Galaxy S4 Screen Problem

Hi Guys,
I bought a verizon s4 2 months ago and everything was running smooth
Suddenly for the past three days, my screen has progressively deteriorated until just a few random coloured pixels remained
I thought of reporting it to verizon when i found a small crack adjacent to the volume + button
I have uploaded a couple of photos but im not able to share them as im a new user:
h-t-t-p://imgur.com/Yp0TIPN,MxdoNk0
h-t-t-p://imgur.com/Yp0TIPN,MxdoNk0#1
When I accepted my fate and started blaming myself, my friend then looked it up online and found that many people were having the same problem
It seems that the reason is hardware malfunction. I even tried master reset suggested by some people online but it didnt work.
Im pretty sure that if i'd send this in to samsung they would've said this was a hardware damage and charged me money for their mistake(from what i've read this did happen to many people)
I just want to report this issue and being a huge samsung fan im greatly disappointed.
If anybody else did have this problem please post under this thread. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Duly noted. I wonder if I can get squaretrade to send me a check instead when my phone decides to take a 600 ft drop.

Galaxy S4 problem
Hey Dude,
Sarcasm Received, but the phone was perfecly running at 3 p.m. but when I went to a meeting, came back and opened the phone again, it blacked out. There was no chance for the phone to have dropped 3 ft. let alone 600 ft. The pixelated colours started showing later. I apologise for not attaching the video of the other guy having the same problem, it is in my second post. Please take a look and let me know your opinion.

Screen tearing on CyanogenMod. Any fixes?

I'm just gonna post the text off of an unsuccessful reddit post I made, go to sleep and hope I wake up to something good. Night everyone.
"imgur.com/a/4xjZW
Galaxy S3 INTL version. CM11 M12. Was actually experiencing this ever since I got CM on it at M7. Don't remember it being a thing on the stock ROM.
Anyone else ever get this? Suggestions, solutions, fixes, anything?
I'm guessing it's some sort of a driver issue? It's mostly when transitioning between something, as in from an app to home, the other way around and so on. But I also get it within apps as well. For example I don't think I ever had a clean image-fade to black-image transition in Asphalt 8 when waiting for a race. It always seemed to go off in those blocks. Sometimes it's happening really often, other times it seems to be pretty smooth."
I'm having something similar. Please help us.
Thank you
CM11
EDIT # 1 : Today I went to service center for this issue, and they said the problem in the motherboard issue. Sadly, I have to change the motherboard which cost me.
Anyone?
