I recently updated to Oreo on the Sprint network on my S8 and now all my badge icons have disappeared and I cannot get them to work. Regardless of the app or what settings I turn on the badges do not work. I'm also not getting any edge lighting notifications when the screen is turned off. I have tried hard reboots and still nothing. This is very disappointing as I was hoping the update was going to fix all these issues. Any suggestions to help fix these issues would be appreciated.
Do not complain if U didn't do a factory reset after update.
It's a must on samsung devices after a major update. Sadly.
I have managed to fix this somehow.
I was a trying a few things and have basically managed to wipe my home screens. So need to set up icons and widgets again. It's quite cathartic...
The upshot is that Badge icon notifications are working again.
I think deleting the cache and memory for the Samsung Home Experience and a restart fixed it
Good Luck

Not quite working as it was!
I now get the numbered badge icons which was not the case post upgrade.
However they disappear if and when the notifications are cleared. Very annoying!
I'm also having issues when the notifications.
If I clear the notification bar it clears the badges on the apps. Also if you enter an app that has a bafge, don't read the message the badge still disappears.
I'm fairly confident that wasn't the case before the update.
Edit: sorry, reply to a wrong post.
Factory reset, OR a new phone don't fix it. I've tried both, 4 trips to AT&T, 2 new S8 actives later... still an issue. Samsung tech support (4xs) says it's a software issue and won't be fixable. They tell me to "just wait for the update to fix it." Super annoying they can't get their $#!* together and fix it.

I know this problem pops up all the time, but mine is a little bit different. I have had notifications disabled in the stock messaging program since day 1 and never had an issue. Now, 3 days later, the notifications are popping back up in the stock messaging program and I didn't change a thing. I checked back to make sure it was still unchecked and I was right, it still was. I get 2 notifications; one from handcent and one from the stock messaging.
I had this problem back a while ago on my Droid but I forgot what I did to fix it. Hopefully someone can chime in if they remember how to!
Thanks
In the stock messaging go into settings and tick ON notifications and then tick it back OFF and see if that will work.
Nope, still the same problem.
I've tried uninstalling Handcent in the past and reinstalling, it still didn't fix the problem
Remembered how to fix it! It was when I downloaded Beautiful Widgets Pack 2. There's a messaging widget that it installs and it turns notifications on inside the widget. In order to turn it off you have to go to Widgets / Beautiful SMS Widget / Menu / Turn off notifications
Problem Solved, hopefully if someone else has this problem they can learn from it

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This has been driving me crazy for a month lol. Although I never tried really really hard to fix it. I thought it was weird it kept happening even after I installed a new ROM. But id do a full restore on apps everytime so this made total sense. Thanks again buddy
Greetings!
Haven't come across anything like this elsewhere. Been scouring the interwebs for solutions but to no avail. So, I decided to make another XDA account since there's always an error here in XDA when requesting for a new password, thus can't log back into my old XDA account.
So, anyone knows a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance!
NB: can't post outside links unless already got 10+ post here in XDA so no screenshots uploaded
Need more information. I've not got my S7 Edge yet but I used one in the shop and the status bar is 100% transparent, so if your new device has lost it's transparency, you must have installed something or done something to it. Have you installed a new launcher that doesn't support transparent status bar for example?
Just the Liquid Cloud live wallpaper which I have been using with my S6E+ flawlessly
That will be it then. It's probably not compatible with Marshmallow or the version of TW the S7 comes with. If you remove it or change to another wallpaper the status bar will almost certainly return to full transparency. Then see if there is an update to the wallpaper.
For the benefit of the doubt, reverted to its static wallpaper but still no changes
Reboot. Then, if no change, uninstall the live wallpaper and reboot again.
Haist! Did everything you mentioned. Still there! This is driving me nuts!
Appreciate the quick response. Think I will just commission my S6E+ back until someone got this sorted out!
Maybe, wipe cache partition? Just like what I did back then when my Samsung Pay was acting up weird which solved it
Clear launcher data and, if that doesn't work, remove the apps you have installed one by one. It's bound to be one of them.
If all else fails I presume you haven't done much on the phone yet so a factory reset is always an option. Power off, then power on with volume up and the power button to go into stock recovery. Select factory reset. You will lose everything on the phone though. I also suggest you remove any memory card just in case.
Just use nova launcher

Could it have something to do with the font change ?? you are clearly not using the default one
Clean cache and force close system ui, reboot and it should fix it!
The Status Bar turns gray when you turn on Power Saving. Turn off Power Saving and it should return to being transparent.
Power Saving ON:
Power Saving OFF:
Also, don't force close any of your UI or system elements unless you plan on rebooting. Your device will be unstable until you reboot.
Well, you've just saved me a lot of trouble! Thanks! Didn't know S7E's TW would be giving me such pain. Didn't encounter such thing on my S6E+.
Thank you for all your thoughts, guys!
Glad it's all sorted out now, bruh!
That gray status bar was really starting to p*ss me off! I used to keep my phone on power save mode all the time with Lollipop and never had that issue. Wtf Marshmallow?!

Do you have power saving turned on? I noticed on mine when its enabled the status bar looses its transparency and goes grey.
Turn off the Power saving Mode and It Goes
Xposed module Flat Style Colored bars
Xposed module, "Flat Style Colored bars" solves the problem while power saving is on.
I tried it on my note 4 and it worked. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on other phones...
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been rather disappointing thus far...
I couldn't disable heads up notification without disabling notification entirely. I tried searching around and apparently there was a fix for S7 but doesn't work on S8. It would be great if somebody can come up with a sweet solution without rooting.
Anybody else experienced duplicated home screen icons despite disabling the app drawer? I have 3 icons of the same app and uninstalling one will get rid of all...
Hello, I recently (ish) got the LG G6 H872 T-Mobile and I have loved it so far. Everything works wonderfully and smoothly. Transitioning from a Nexus 5X which means stock to the LG G6 was slightly tough because all previous phones were also stock Android. It's also weird not having Oreo... Anyways, I love everything except for this one bug which I can't seem to fix or find a fix for. Trust me, when I say I've tried because I normally don't ask people for help because I like to try to fix things myself.
What's wrong; In the quick settings, I have enabled the volume and brightness sliders and that's okay. But when I slide down to show the tiles, the sliders stay there and overlap the tiles, which makes it annoying.
Here's a video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sI7JyAkNXLwStVBNPIryK7Oni43HI68F/view?usp=drivesdk
What I've tried: Everything but factory reset. If it's possible to fix without a factory reset, then I'll gladly take it. But if not, I want to wait for Oreo to come out to see if that fixes it. I have restarted the phone, restarted System UI, and some other things like disabling and enabling features, but nothing has seemed to work.
How to recreate: I honestly have no idea, I apologize.
Thanks in advance,
HansAnonymous
Edit: I've fixed it by myself... ?
How to fix: I've somehow turned off fancy pulldown animation through the SystemUI Tuner app from the Play Store and to fix, you just simply turn it back on.
If mod could close thread, that'd be great.
mayby its a theme problem change to default
I searched thoroughly and couldn't find a thread or a fix. Where do we edit the quick settings in the notification pulldown? Mine is blank, and I don't readily see it in Settings, nor is there an edit function in the pulldown. Suggestions?
You don't have the editing pencil icon on there?

Nah, it's straight blank...
Someone else here solved that by rebooting the phone. Afterward the pencil icon appeared and they were able to set it up. Can't remember which thread at this point.
I've rebooted twice. No success...
Pull down the notifications and then pull down again on the (blank for you currently) quicksettings section and you'll see pencil that lets you edit

Oddly enough, I was able to get the quick settings to show up on the lockscreen. I edited it from there, and voila. It's a wierd glitch...

Thanks for this. JUST picked up mine and was going crazy since I wasn't seeing the toggles. Very odd that it comes up blank like that out of the box.
Hey I found out the issue here. I had the same thing happen with the T-mobile variant. I did a factory reset and restored my google account and it was still missing. I did a second factory reset and didn't restore and sure enough it showed up. I then did the oneplus restore and nothing changed. I then got the phone unlocked and still no issue. After a restart everything was fine and then I did a google restore. I chose only to restore call logs and messages. The second it was done the quick settings disappeared again. This is clearly an issue with google and this device. Not sure if it's a T-Mobile issue specifically

Ah, thank you, that fixed it for me. Mine was looking just like yours. And when I locked the screen and then pulled down the notifications drawer, a pencil did appear which let me fix it all up.
I think I might know what broke it for me. When I upgraded my OnePlus 5 from OxygenOS 5.1.7 to 9.0.3, I still had jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] by JRoot3D.dev installed, and it was changing how many quick settings tiles are shown after one swipe down (in the single row). I think it was essentially doing this:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_qqs_count 8
When I used the app to change that number, all my quick settings tiles disappeared. The app has not been updated in a while, so I'm going to keep it off my phone until it's updated for Android Pie
Just as a quick update on this. This is still a problem on the T-Mobile device on 9.0.13 fully stock.
I guess this must then mean that the quick setting cannot be hidden on the lockscreen...

Actually, I think I found a better solution here.
The trick seems to be that on the unlocked version of the shade, the pencil and user switcher icons only show up when you expand the QS panel. However, if you don't have enough icons in the panel to force the need for the additional row (there is a little hint that shows up when you drag an icon that indicates that you need at least 6 icons), then you can't swipe it down, and there no icons or any warning of any sort are shown.
The shade on the lockscreen doesn't appear to enforce that icon minimum, so the pencil and user switcher show up fine (perhaps this is due to the fact that on the lockscreen, the notifications themselves don't live in the shade as they do when the device is unlocked).
It also seems like older OOS versions didn't enforce that icon minimum, so if you only had, say 4 icons (not sure who would do that), then did an upgrade, you would have this strange behavior.
