Re: S7 Edge not showing notifications in tray and "recent apps" button and settings button dnt work

Hey all,
I bought an S7 Edge almost 2 weeks ago and for the most part the phone has been perfect. But I did have some problems, mainly anytime I would use the "IHeart Radio" app the phone would restart and while that was annoying I just dealt with it. However now, am I'm not sure they are related, neither the recent apps (or multi-task) button nor the settings button in the tray at the top doesn't work. Also, I hear notifications come in like texts or news alerts however they don't show in the tray when I pull it down.

I've done a bit of googling up to this point with nobody else experiencing quite what I have and was wondering if anybody else has had these problems, or if anybody knows a fix.

Just so you know I've uninstalled any apps that I had installed just prior to the issue starting, and yes I've restarted.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Guys i also have thuis problem at my activiteiten i only have Activaring mobile service thats the only optioneel i have please help me thnx

This fix worked for me to.

The activity I used for the Nova launcher widget was called 'Setup Wizzard.'

My issue now is that this has re-occured twice. The fix is quick and simple (click the icon I created, got through setup), but does not seem to prevent a re-occurance of the same issues. Has anyone else seen this issue happen more than once? Anyone found a root cause?

Thank you so much.

In my case, the SetupWizardTestActivity was not there, but I chose SetupExitActivity, my screen flashed and everything was back to normal!

It's 2018 and I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 running Android Oreo 8.0.0
I had the same problem and this solution still works!

Just created an account here at AndroidCentral so that I could thank you for this elegant solution.
Simply the thought of backing up my data, factory resetting and then reinstalling everything was giving me shivers. Thankfully due to this solution my problem was sorted in 10 mins flat!

Excellent job! Keep up the good work!

Dude!!! I can't tell you how delighted I am to have come across your post. I literally just created an account to convey my gratitude.

Thank you very much. Your method works like a sham. I don't even own a Samsung Galaxy. I guess it work on just about any Android device.

Gracias!
