Several times when someone has called my X10 in the past few weeks, the phonebook app has caused problems. In all cases, the person calling was in my phonebook.
What happens is that the phone starts to ring, and the blue SE phonebook background displays, but none of the UI elements show up (no contact picture, no answer button, etc). Just the blue background. The phone continues to ring, but I seem to have no way to answer it. On two occasions, the phonebook app has actually crashed (as the "Force Close" dialog appeared eventually).
If it's my fiancée calling (who has a set ringtone), instead the default ringtone sounds. The ringtone doesn't seem to be the issue though, as I have had this happen with my parents calling (and they are set to use the default ringtone).
Has anyone else had anything like this happen with their X10?
hello, I've had similar problems but it never occurs during a call. It happens when I need to make a phone call.
I use ADW Luancher but have decided to use the X10i phone book.
What happens is that, at least two times now within this last week, is that I've gotten a blue sceen (background) with no UI elements on it after pressing the the phone book icon on my home screen. I'll be prompted to force close. After trying again the same issue occurs.
A soft reset was the only way, that I know of, to fix the problem. I wish I could tell know what the cause is.
Also, I used to have the Timescape plugin stopped from booting with Startup Auditor. Now I let the plugin start on boot, but not the actual Timescape program.
Haven't had the problem since. Hope that helped..
- Sent with my X10i
I've had this problem appear while using Zeam, HelixLauncher Donut, and now with ADW. I don't think it's homescreen related.
I used to use StartupAuditor, but stopped and uninstalled it about a month ago. Same with any task killers.
I disabled Timescape updates 2 weeks ago as it never seemed able to connect to Facebook, and have since unlinked all my contacts from their Facebook and Twitter profiles, and just today deleted my Timescape account settings for both services.
The Phonebook app seems to take quite a while (5+ seconds) to display my contacts if it hasn't been opened in a while, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I only have 140 contacts, so I can't think that's the problem.
Hi,
I had the same issue, but when I was trying to make a call.
Deleting the contact and adding it again fixed the problem.
You cold give it a try..
I deleted my fiancée and parents and then re-entered them. We'll have to see if this helps.

I have BA with Xplode's WM6 ROM installed and i have installed HTC Home plugin some weeks ago i found something strange: whenever i sync (i use calendar sync) it changes from vibrate (my default "ring") to sound on.
Also when a calendar reminder appears, it does not vibrate as i have select it but rather plays a sound.
I've never noticed this problem before installing HTC Home.
I've searched and found this threads with similar problems, sometimes the oposite, changing from ring to vibrate, whenever changing something on calendar, but with other phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1994550

It seems that there is some problem with HTC Home + Calendar/Reminder and vibrate / ring options.
Is anyone experiencing the same ? Any solutions ?
JP
I'm experiencing the exact same problem, but I cannot find a solution. I posted it in the ROMeOS forum for the Kaiser and no one had any ideas there. I didn't have this problem with stock. It is 100% reproducible on my device. I leave mine on vibrate 24 hours a day all of the time, however I started noticing (after flashing) that many times my phone would adjust to ring from vibrate. I realized if I ever changed appointment settings (even if I open an appointment, change the time, change it back, and hit ok), it will automatically change from vib to ring. My phone still vibrates whenever there are events coming up, but so far my phone hasn't gone off in any meetings yet :-/
When googling I found this similar post at ppcgeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=190440
Still not much info there, someone mentions some fixes but doesn't say anything more about them.
I tried turning the "Reminder" under Sounds & Notifications settings to not include a "ring" option (unchecked it) and now I can edit calendar events without it changing to ring.
Thanks, i will try it.
JP
Eh I changed the time of a calendar entry today and after hitting ok, it changed the ringer back on :-/ Sorry I must have had a tard moment earlier.
Jason
It happens to me sometimes that creating a new appointment won't change vibrate/ring settings, but shifting an appointment will.
But that doesn't always happens, oddly.
What happens all the time is that when synchronizing with Outlook calendar, it will always switch to ring.
JP
Syncing w/ my outlook calendar does this too. This is getting annoying enough to almost want to go back to a rom from AT&T :-/ I have been searching and searching and I haven't found a solution yet.

Looks like HTC Home might be the culprit. There is supposedly a fix:

dear friends, i have had this problem previously on other winmobile devices and now on the THD. simply & suddenly i stop getting reminders for my calendar appointments, even though they still do appear on my today screen( i use the windows mobile standard today screen). no change in my notification or sounds settings, and despite a softreset. on my old phone imate ultimate 6150, this problem used to disappear after syncing with outlook on my pc, and this time it worked too. but honestly it's beyond me why this happens. yes the problem has been solved, but until one realises what has happened u could miss out on an important appointment. thanks
any ideas?
memaid and sktools have options to rebuild the notifications queue.
Alternatively, search here on notifications - the problem sounds like this queue/list is corrupt.
I had similar problems and the memaid solved it fine.
Well I've just read inanother zforumsomewhere and it works.
Change the time on your today screen, to the visiting time. Accept all changes
Then set it back to home time, and accept all changes.
Viola! the reminder starts working fine again.
But, after a day or two, things are back to where they began. So you wil need a reminder to remind you to do this procedure once in a while
Hi all. Just bought a grand prime from T-mobile Hungary. Sometimes my screen just randomly freeze the notifications appear on lockscreen bugged the app preview doesnt show up app in the screen, notifications area dissapear etc.. I bringed to the service they reinstalled 5.1.1 lollipopp and recalibrated the phone but the problem show up again again... I restart the phone and it's work well for 1 day or sometimes only a half. They gimme back the phone said the problem doesn't show up for them (yeah they will not gonna log in to there facebook acc and start using get notifications, emails, play music etc...), but i started using and nothing changed. I returned to the service 2nd time they did the same thing but nothing changed again. I can't explain in words i didn't even find any problems like this please check the photos on my google drive. Not using harmless app only facebook, messenger, viber and play music.
Is there any way to post my drive folder link.... The forum dont let me do this and u guys will can't see the problem.
Hello All!
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and im all out of ideas of what to do.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Wearable: S3 Rugged
Extra Service: DIGITS
Coming From: LGV20 which never had these issues with the same plans and accesories
So to start, when i got the phone inittially during setup of the google accounts i noticed that my OTP SMS Pushes were not being received, or auto filling the information. I skipped past all of that and noticed that anywhere that OTP text were suppose to autofill in different applications, it would not even when i received the text and got a notification.
So after a while of using TEXTRA which was working fine, one day i stopped receiving ALL text not just mms. I was able to send but never was I able to get anything from anyone. I ditched TEXTRA and went back to the stock Samsung app and noticed that all text were there, even though it was not default. After using the Samsung messages app i decided to go back to textra, heres whats funny. After Textra did it's initial setup, it only showed half of the recieved text from up to that day. Messages were incomplete, some just had one reply from a user and nothing else. So I also tried this with Android Messages and it had the EXACT same message log as textra. Both were not receiving the full logs from the server. Today Android Messaging was working for a good part of the day, then it just stopped all of sudden again.
Can someone help me with this, I've wiped the cache and factory reset the phone. Ive added and removed the multi-line settings in the samsung settings. I've tried the legacy settings on textra. I've called the DIGIT's customer service to see if they could fix it but they made and interesting point that it couldnt be digit because it wouldnt interfere with 3rd part messaging apps. When i switch apps i always make them default, i wipe the app cache etc.
I have a gut feeling this has something to do with something with the default Samsung Messages app and it somehow restricting use outside of it.
I just wanted to reply and say that I've been experiencing the exact same issue and haven't had any luck Google engineering my way around it. For me, I'm seeing the issue with Signal, so I don't believe it's the 3rd party app's problem. I can send messages (SMS/MMS), but the Samsung Messages app is the only one that "receives" them. A strange workaround I found was to download Android Messenger, set that as the default messaging app, then set Signal as the default messaging app again. This worked for a while, but I think the Samsung Messages app recently updated, and it broke this again until I repeated the above workaround.
It's annoying enough that, without a fix, I'll definitely be flashing a completely stripped ROM on this phone once we have the ability to do so to get away from all of the Samsung apps that I can't disable. And don't even get me started on Bixby...

I haven't had any issues with my At&t model...Been using Yaata since day one (about 2 months).
Also, there are some "package disabling" apps in the play store that will allow you to disable any app you want, you don't even need to be rooted. It cost me $1.99 (or around there), but was well worth it! You can even completely disable Bixby, so the button is even non-responsive.
Having the same issue and I may have fixed it. I logged completely out of Digits on the phone (settings/cloud accounts/multi line/hit the ... menu and choose log out.
I have this same issue. No matter which 3rd party SMS app I use I have missing text messages on the T-Mobile S8. Has anyone fixed this? It is driving me crazy. T-Mobile replaced my S8 and the new one does it (not as bad but it does it more than I'd like). How can I resolve this? My friend haf the same issue, he has an unlocked T-Mobile working on AT&T.
I don't use Digits or anything like that... any ideas?
hi guys
all you need to do
go to setings
device maintence
battery
scrool all the way down to unmonitored apps and add your 3rd party sms app
youre welcome
This still didn't work for me and I am having the same exact issues. I have tried installing 2 different 3rd party messaging (Textra and Mood) and both were not working properly. I can send messages out just fine but when I receive them they are delayed (like 5 minutes or longer). Sometimes, I don't get the messages at all. Of course, the Samsung Messaging app (which I hate) works just fine. I have even "Force Stopped" it! What to do?
go into the stock messaging app, and turn off advanced messaging
Has anyone found a solution? I've been using textra for years & suddenly in March I started having this problem but with sent messages. All incoming texts are displayed but my sent texts aren't. I did try the 2 suggestions above. On a note 8, Android 8.0.0,Samsung experience 9.0.
SOLVED. I had the same issues and found the solution. Before you install your 3rd party sms/MMS you need to disable the default messenger. I uninstalled signal, disabled the built-in messenger, reinstalled signal. Now I can receive texts. Also my phone is not a Samsung.
Hi all
I have searched everywhere and I can't find anybody else with this issue... I surely can't be the only one...?
Since updating my Nexus 6P to Oreo I appear to have some apps not show a notification icon or anything in my notification drop down menu. My phone will vibrate as normal but my screen will not show any notifications...
This happens for Outlook (I will receive a normal notification and email preview on my Huawei watch running 2.0 but nothing at all on phone apart from its vibration), FotMob (a goal alert service if anyone is unfamiliar with it) and even push notifications on Facebook (to name a few). WhatsApp and text messages, for example, are working as normal.
I have reset all my notification and permissions settings TNA and even uninstalled and reinstalled the troublesome apps. Same result
Is this just apps not being fully supported for 8.0 or is this a different issue?
I really don't want to resort to a factory reset...
Thanks in advance
The most important thing i hate about Oreo .. is that Power notification control is missing the is so important for me!!

How were the apps installed? If you restored them through Titanium Backup, the device id for GCM push notifications will be wrong.
Uninstall, clear cache, then install the app from the play store.
Hi krs360
The apps were installed through play store. I am running fully stock, unrooted Android 8.0
Thanks
I have the same problem. Gmail is set to blink the notification light - but it doesn't! Argh!

There is something sketchy about oreo notification. Sometimes the LED simply doesn't blink at all , sometimes it simply blink very very slow.
Aquamail works fine
Gmail also doesn't pop up with a notification when the screen is off. But aqua mail does, and the notification light also works.
I think I found the answer to this. Basically it's a change in the SDK that requires the app author to fix. (I know, I just discovered the same problem in apps I wrote.)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43093260/notification-not-showing-in-android-8-oreo
Nothing quite so heartbreaking than to find a singular post/thread on the internet from someone having the same issue as you, only to discover that no solution has been posted and that it's old.
For what it's worth, having the same exact issue. Phone updated OTA a few weeks ago, and at first I was having the battery drain issue but that seemed to get fixed during the patch update, but now I've noticed that Outlook Calendar reminders, as well as Facebook Messenger App Notifications (new messages) no longer make a sound and/or show up as a notification on my phone. This is extremely annoying/difficult especially with Outlook as I have a really terrible time keeping things straight or organized, so I rely pretty heavily on the calendar reminders I set in it for daily/weekly/monthly things.
I could be wrong but I think it's related to notification lights.I wasn't getting anything until I turned it on and suddenly I was.
Hi,
Has anyone come across the solution for this issue? I have had it for over a month now and I really don't understand what the issue could be.
same issue with OREO (ZUK Z2 PRO)
also cannot edit permissions because it doesn't handle a device with plenty apps installed (+800) it hangs and crash / go back to main menu without letting you edit anything in options
