ADW EX, text messaging loading troubles - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I just switched to ADW ex and I love it... no lag, nice features, however when I get a text message and press the messaging icon sometimes I have to press it 2 or 3 times before anything happens. This is not an issue of the screen not registering a press since the icon lights up when I press it, but nothing else happens after that about 1 out of 10 times.
Also, even though its checked in the options, I get no little red "1" on the icon when I have an unread text. Not sure if others are seeing these issues on the note.

are you talking about the message icon on your dock or homescreen?
Make sure there is an app associated with the icon. If the icon is on your dock....double tap the icon and go to edit. If it is on your homescreen, long press icon and then go to edit.
On the pop up make sure there is a program associated with the icon...like mine says GO SMS Pro in the gray box next to the icon. If there is nothing, then you have no app there. So then just tap the gray box and choose applications and then your messaging app.
make sense?

I was having this same problem, delete your messaging shortcut and recreate it, it seemed to fix the issue for me.

No need to delete. Just long press edit and assign application. You can even change the icon.

Yes you do need to delete. When editing it it shows the right information, but doesnt work, recreating it seems to make it work correctly, atleast for me.
I tried editing it like you said first, it was correct. But i'm a noob so maybe i wasnt looking at it right

OK, as long as it worked good for you that's what counts

welp, good call on delete and recreate. that worked great.
It was just really strange how it would work only part of the time. now its 100%.

[Q] cant stop 2nd message notification

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?
(oh and I tried a search but the xda search engine is down, it's down like 50% of the time I try to use it, so please no harsh remarks about a repeat post if this is one)

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

Odd behaviour

Have a look at the photo below. My SGS2 always does this on startup. Anyone else seen this on theirs?
Is your home button is sticky? I've never seen this happen except when I hold down the home button.

No it is all working perfectly. By the way I am not referring to the Task Manager coming up but to the dock buttons changing icon/app.
Might be something to do with the phone scanning the SD Card on start up for icon images, if you've set a custom icon for the apps in the dock.
Try to install everything again, maybe work.

Oh, actually that happens every time I boot as well but it always corrects itself within 30 seconds or so.

Well that looks like stock touchwiz, so the icons can't be custom.
If what you mean is that he may have set custom apps then you might be right. If the apps that were wet are on SD, they might not be available when booting so it will pick some random ones.

Phone is completely stock. Usual "Phone", Contacts", "Messaging" and "applications" icons appear after about 30 seconds as is said above. None of these are on the SD card. It just strikes me as odd that they change and always to the same apps.
I also have the same issue, noticed it started happening only after I put exDialer and exContacts previously before reverting to stock Phone and Contacts. Haven't found a solution.

Icons or menu items remain "touched" after using homebutton

Hey guys,
after I press home button and go to home screen, 3 of 5 times happens that usually first icon from the left looks like it's being touched by my finger. For better explanation, see attachment. When I touch somewhere else, blue rectangle disappears. This happens also in Messenger app, or Nova launcher. I really don't know where the problem is. Factory reset solution would be on the last place.
Thanks a lot, I hope I explained it well.

Help with app taking over lockscreen???

Yesterday for the first time I got a strange new lock screen I don't remember installing.... When my phone (Nexus 6) is plugged in, and I wake it up, at first I get my regular stock lock screen. But, when I unlock it, this new strange lock screen appears in its place (the first image - which says at the top "0 Words typed today" and "1% beat global users.") When I tap the three-dot menu in the top right, I get the second screen (says "Boost Charge" and gives me option to uncheck.)
Does anyone recognize this? I guess it's possible it's malware of some kind but I am generally pretty careful. It seems like typing stats, but I only have google keyboard, swiftkey and touchpal installed, and none of those seem to be causing this as far as I can tell.
I would like to avoid a factory reset if I can help it, but I don't like the idea of something I didn't choose being on my phone..... Any help as to how this got here?
Same thing happened to me.
Found out it's SwiftKey. Wasn't even using it, so I just uninstalled it.

I've got the exact same thing. Annoying as hell. Don't have SwiftKey installed. Mine I believe is coming from TouchPal.
I got this to stop without uninstalling TouchPal. In TouchPal settings, go into General Settings and disable Daily Summary, which causes another annoying pop-up screen once a day. Then click on Power Boost and disable that. Exit, exit, exit.
I think the Power Boost, um, feature? is causing those random pop-ups.
Hope this helps somebody else. The keyboard itself is pretty good, so I'm sure some people won't want to uninstall it.

Yep, it's TouchPal. I found the Boost Charge one, but hadn't noticed the separate Daily Summary setting-thanks for the heads up.

Dialer notification dots stuck?

Basically whenever I miss a call the dialer shows me in a notification dot for example if I miss 2 calls it shows 2 in the top corner of the apps icon, however they won't go away and are now slowly building up.. I've called the person back, click on the missed call, went through and cleared call history, force stopped the app etc. Doesn't seem to do anything, any idea? Thanks
I have the same issue
Sent from my J8110 using Tapatalk
It's not just the dialer, it's ALL of the apps that allow notification dots on the home screen. There's not even a specific pattern when they do or don't do it. Very frustrating, especially since I've turned notification dots off.

The only temporary solution I've found so far is a full reboot but definitely not worth the inconvenience, really annoying...

Same problem on my Xparia 1. I deleted cache, stopped the dialer app and so on but no luck. Only a factory reset solved the problem for me. That's very annoying.
