Sticky missed calls notification - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

My phone APP keeps showing the missed call badge even though I have opened the app and checked the missed calls. Badge seems to clear after a certain number of days. I've looked to see if I could have turned the badge off but don't seem to be able to find this setting (if available).

Are you using stock or custom ROM? Which one? What dialer app are you using?
One thought that comes to mind is that you are running a custom ROM with a built in dialer but have installed the Google dialer. In a case like this, you med to make sure your dialer is set to be the default.

Totally default ROM with the only exception of the nova launcher . It started if I am not mistaken right after the android 10 update.

mine is doing the same, notification disappears if I tap from lockscreen or if I unlock phone then go to dialer app & tap the missed call, but if I don't tap missed call then it will only disappear if I reopen the dialer app a 2nd time. Also running stock Android 10 with Nova (though it is beta ver 6.2.0)

Happens the same on my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, stock Android 9 (Android One), with Nova Laucher.
Started after the July update.

Same on me. Nova and Android 10.

It's gotta be the Testa Unread App that comes with Nova Launcher. I can clear the notifications if I open the app and quickly turn off and back on the Phone APP notification.

If I'm correct, Telsa Unread only comes with the paid version of Nova.
This issue also happens with a frind of mine that is using Android Microsoft Launcher on a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, Android 9.
On the other end, my wife, just like me on a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite with Nova Launcher (paid version), Android 9, never experienced this issue.

I have this same problem, running stock android 10 and nova prime (paid version). They clear a few days it seems, haven't figured a workaround or shortcut to get them to clear just yet.

[Q] Is there a way to make the ticker work?

With the original tw launcher whenever you're using an app or game *for example Angry Birds* and you receive a call it shows up on the ticker. But when I use another Launcher *for example Go Launcher* and I play Angry Birds and I receive a call not only does it not show up in the ticker but it stops the game and the screen changes and shows me who's calling. is there a way to make the calls be show on the ticker while on Go launcher and using an app?

I've been looking at that, off and on,
For the last three months, with no headway. Trailblazer looked, and says its hard baked into tw. If it can be ported to go, I haven't figured it out, yet.

Hmm.. Well whenever you have two themes installed *For example Launcher 7 and TwLauncher and you haven't yet decided which to choose as default* the apps show the call in the ticker. But then let's just say I decide to use Launcher 7 as my default, then it stops working and the screen changes to the call. That confuses me.
I've posted on this topic before somewhere on this forum, but don't remember where.
The Touchwiz launcher has to be running for incoming calls to come to the ticker. I, too, find this feature indispensable on our phones.
I use LauncherPro. I have created an invisible shortcut to an "activity" that launchers Touchwiz launcher after I've rebooted my phone. Touchwiz comes up, I hit my home button and LauncherPro comes right back up. I never see Touchwiz again, but the service necessary to send incoming calls to the Ticker continues to run until I restart my phone again.
I tried GoLauncher but went back to LauncherPro. I can't remember why I did, but it might have been because I was unable to make a shortcut to launch Touchwiz. I don't remember.
So, I just have to remember to launch the shortcut anytime I've restarted my phone, and I'm good.
Touchwiz doesn't show up in the normal app list, so I needed the more granular set of options that "Activities" in LauncherPro provided.

I recall that work around. For me, it made the phone sluggish. But, that was also on a 07, which was a leak. Maybe it would work better with 09. I might give that a try again, and see what happens. I'd still like to come up with something that is more native, if I can eventually figure it out. But, for now, that is probably the best we have.

Yeah, I have no doubt that the majority of my complaints about Trailblazer101's mods making my homescreen respawn all the time were related to running two launchers simultaneously....although I'm fairly sure I tried NOT loading up TW and I still had incessant homescreen respawns.
It was your suggestion, that finally solved all of my life's problems. Using Rom Toolbox to cut out all kind of unnecessary crap running virtually eliminated my respawn issue altogether.
I think my phone runs excellently now...even with TW running in the background.
But don't let that deter you. I'd LOVE to find a way to launch minimal software for the ticker-incoming call feature as opposed to running TW fully.

certain launchers will have them. mostly paid versions. their are apps like notifier apps that put the badges their or a pop up notification like the iphone pop ups. them also look like the iphone app icons, maybe golauncher has the badges and a theme for the icons
and i think their called notification badges.
I know Nova Launcher Prime has that feature with the TeslaUnread app.

Can't you just do a little bit of thinking/reading for yourself? It even has the process in the app description!
Anyway, buy Nova Launcher Prime or WidgetLocker (it won't work without one of these) then install Tesla unread. After that, enable TeslaUnread in Nova Launcher or WidgetLocker Settings > Unread Counts.

Turn off Default SMS & Call Widget on Lock Screen

I do like the stock 4.3. Its much smoother compared to 4.2.1.
But what I don't like is the default SMS widget that shows up on the locks screen when we receive an SMS.
Same goes for Miss Calls.
The sms is displayed on the screen itself, so basically anybody could read the sms as it arrives (I dont like putting lock).
I know, there is a setting to disable sms display but that will turn off the displaying of the message on notification bar aswell.
So is there any way to turn off that widget ? I couldn't find any yet.
Infact, this whole lock screen widget thing is not so cool because, as per my experience, if I put widgets, the phone takes up a while (1-2 secs) to wake up.

if your on a rooted device,then probably you can freeze that widget using titanium backup or linksd. or on a unrooted phone you can also disable it. settings>apps

sorry I dont know which app/process it is because I don't own a Samsung device!

Had the same question as thread opener. I'd prefer to use dashclock to handle this kind of things, non that Samsung stuff. And, at the same time, I'd like to keep text content readable on notification bar. Is this lock screen notification disposable somehow? I see nothing that could be related to it in settings
Note 2 N7100 - DN3 ROM @240 dpi - MK4
I took the other way to solve this one..
I have actually installed Textra sms client and I have kept the stock Messaging app aswell.
So, now on, the new sms is captured by Textra and displayed on status bar like before. And if I want, I can use stock sms to reply or read, but I prefer textra now. In case you prefer textra, u can actually turn off stock Messaging from App manager and permanently use Textra (or any other sms client) as a replacement.:laugh:
Just install a 3rd party SMS app and disable notifications in stock app.
Donnt be bothered about RAM when using a powerhouse such as Note 2

I managed to obtain what I needed with rom toolbox pro using its auto run manager function. Make system apps visible, than look for a package named com.sec.android.app.keyguard and disable the first receiver, whose lengthy name ends with "missed widget provider". No more notifications on lock screen taking the place of my widgets (namely dashclock)!
Hope this helps, fell free to ask for clarifications if needed. No side effects noted until now, but I seldom receive text messages since WhatsApp has been invented, so it hasn't been tested much. Cheers!

Badge Notifications in Oreo

I just updated to Oreo and noticed that now when I dismiss a Notification the badge from that app goes away too...
In the previous version this didn't happen, anyone knows how to avoid the badge from the app disappearing?
Thanks!

You can't stop it from happening unfortunately. Your other option is to install nova launcher and use tesla unread counter app, which is from the same guys.

I was also wondering if there is a workaround for this.
To be honest, this is the most stupid thing I've ever seen in a software update, now if you put the notifications to silent for - let's say- Facebook, you will never get the badges on on the app icon.
In Secure Folder, it is the same, which defeats the purpose of the secure folder (hiding notifications), so when I enter secure folder, now I have to check each app for conversations or messages or any other notifications they might have.
Samsung should provide the option to unlink "clearing notifications from the panel clears the badges", and also silencing and app notification doesn't prevent it from having badges.
Nova launcher, it works, but the tesla is inconsistent.

While this may be an "upgrade" to people with stock android, it's more of a downgrade to people who've already experienced the app badges before Oreo. The main reason I am/was a fan of app badges is so that my notifications can be turned off and I'll see I have notifications based on the app badge. I hope Samsung will at least add the possibility of choosing to show app badges for apps that are put to silent in a future update. Right now they just seem pretty pointless.

I just think it's a backwards move and if they're so adamant of it at least give the option to allow unread badges even if notification is swiped away

I really dislike this change and am considering returning my Galaxy S9 because of it. There's a thread over on the Samsung forum about this as well if you want to subscribe to that one to keep track of this issue.
Galaxy-S9-Questions-and-Answers/Notification-badge-icon-not-working-on-Samsung-Galaxy-S9/m-p/288959#M52
I'm glad I found a forum on this issue...
This definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction. I liked that I would get new notifications in the top panel and if I swiped them away, the badge Icon would still show that I had an un-opened message. This was very useful because in situations where I was doing something and I couldn't check the new message right away, I would clear them because I still wanted to see if any other new notifications would come in after, the badge Icon would remind me to check later, if i forgot, when I had time to view or reply to that message.
This feature needs to be added back asap, it should be extremely simple for them to implement and it should be an option anyways for us to link or un-link the notification panel with the app badge icon.
Keep this forum going!
This is simply ridiculous! Gone from an almost perfect touchwiz to nova launcher ... i'm really upset.
For a lot of users Nova Launcher with Tesla Unread also has an issue with unread badges. Particularly with the Gmail app, but also with the native Samsung email app. See the recent reviews for the app on Google Play.
If you contact Tesla Coil (developers of Nova/TeslaUnread) they will send you an updated apk to side load. This didn't resolve the issue for me but YMMV.
But at least they are working on it. But i really liked the touchwiz look. Mainly the folders aspect not reproduced by nova.

While installing the updates they will show the small animation when you swipe the notifications the bagde will get clear.. before installing also in the changelog it is mentioned.

Thanks Mike. TU Ver 5.1.0 still not working for me. Have cleared caches, uninstalled/reinstalled (twice), etc. etc. Still have persistent unread badge stuck on Gmail app, even though I have read/deleted emails.
Turning badges off/back on in TU does clear unread badges temporarily, but problem re-occurs when new emails arrive.

Nova launcher tesla unread does not show count badge for Email app

Could be a nova launcher issue but is anyone running Nova launcher with the tesla unread addon? The email app is the only app where the count badge is not working. Anyone else experience similar issues? On my galaxy s9, it works fine. S10 it does not.

You need to enable notification dots (obviously with message count) in the settings (the samsung one), this will enable Nova to do the same thing (with its own theme) without tesla unread
