Download Icon Stuck On In Home Screen Top Bar - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After downloading an app from the Market with my AT&T Captivate, the download icon - the little white rectangle with the red downward arrow above it -- stayed on in the top bar of the Home Screen. I have removed the app, then reinstalled it and no change with either operation.
I tried a battery pull several times and no change. Anything else I could do instead of a factory reset? Phone is bone stock.
Thanks in advance.

try clearing the market cache?

Thanks, but I went to the Market App and it says that you cannot clear the cache - but that power cycling might help. I am not clear what that means.
Seems like any app to clear the cache is for rooted phones only and I am not rooted.
Any additional help would be appreciated.
Thanks, again.

FIXED
Someone had apparently sent me a download of some photo app that was hung up under Downloads in my browser. I found and cleared it and the icon disappeared.
Thanks!!

Voicemail notification will not go away

Per title I have a voicemail notification that will not go away. I have tried reboots, power off, wiped dalvik, wiped cache. The clear button does not show up to clear it. A search did not reveal an answer. What else can I try? Thanks.
edit.... I am on enomthers latest.
Just in case any one else runs across this I was able to clear it by switching from ADW to the stock launcher and then sending myself a new voicemail which got me the clear button. Couldnt get rid of it just by switching launchers and the same tactic did not work with ADW.

"N" icon pops up every time...

Hello, since I've rooted my phone (stock rom 2.2.2), I have an annoying glitch with the "n" icon popping up on every icon/app installed after I rooted my phone, when I disconnect it from USB (after it scans the SD card, and memory and apps in the notification bar)
No matter if I've already launched those apps, it still pops up on their icons (i'm talking about the little "N" in a blue circle)
What could be wrong ? How to correct that ?
Thanks ! :good:
EDIT: only the modded camera app (from there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785a ) and superuser app have the issue, and only in the application menu... they do not show the "N" icon on the home menu. So weird ?!
Is there any way to get rid of that "N" icon popping up only on those 2 apps ?
I have to say I dun really know the cause of recurring N
but I once had same problem of recurring N in specific apps that I had froozen n defrosted by Titanium Backup!
try them after deleting app cache and data. It worked for me!
if that doesn't work, we'll go for more desperate measures!!
"N" pops up whenever you install new apps, once you start that app, it should disappear. Your issue seems to be weird, try clearing cache and re-boot your device.
.... I don't understand what's the N icon :/
N → New

'N' isn't actually icon but a small overlay over real icon. It is kind of notification which shows a installed app hasn't yet been started/run from app drawer!!
You are still on froyo right? Its normal.. try clearing cache, dalvik everything.. or, just ignore it.. hehe.. happened to me once..

Can't download updates after 5.1

Just updated to 5.1 lollipop. When I try to update any app from the play store the download begins, I watch the progress bar star moving across and the download arrow up in my notification bar animated. Sometimes it gets to 40% sometimes to 90% but then the download arrow in the notification bar disappears and the progress bar stays stuck.

Try cleaning data of Google play store and services, if no go try factory reset.
Will I lose all my user data if I do a factory reset? Is there a way to factory reset, yet keep my data?

Backup your stuff and then proceed?
I gave it a shot and didn't really lose much. Yay Google!

Missing navigation bar button icons

Has anyone else had this weird issue? Recently I applied a Samsung theme from the store and the navigation bar button icons dissappeared but the buttons are still there and functionable. Tried re enabling all disabled apps, wiping cache from bootloader, rebooting, applying stock themes, just about everything. Factory reset fixed the problem but than it reoccurred. Going to follow up with a screenshot.
Did you double tap the dot in the left corner of the nav bar?
If so, swipe up from the bottom, the nav bar should appear, double tap the dot again.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not missing the navigation bar. It's just not displaying anything in it. Just looks like a transparent bar. The only thing I can see is the little dot on the left to lock it. Screenshot below.

So, it now does it without applying a theme?

I can't get the icons to show up again without factory resetting the device, soft reset does nothing.. Tried restoring from backup that occurred before applying the theme, and it's still broken. Re enabled all disabled packages, no luck..
Ok, that is an odd one.
Hope you get it worked out. I'll keep looking.

How about in Safe Mode? If it doesn't there... youll know it's an app... or something after your initial setup.

Still occurs in safe mode Thanks for the suggestion though.
Same thing happened to me when I installed one of the black navigation apks on here. Factory reset was the only way I was able to get them to reappear.

u can just uninstall the apk app from settings then reboot. icons will show

I was using a black navbar overlay apk, however I tried removing it and rebooting without any success. What's interesting is that I just Factory reset my phone and the black option for navigation bar still persists. Did they add that back in or something?

they had black in factory rom, but when u update firmware it'll be gone. i think.
Sometimes my nav bar icons would dissapear when my blue light filter was turned up very high.

Did you by any chance install a transparent navigation bar apk? I found one and installed it and this same thing happened. I went onto Settings/apps and found the com file, Uninstalled it and rebooted and it went back to stock.
It's possible one of the overlays I installed in substratum contained a transparent nav bar and I didn't notice or something, so maybe by removing the black navbar and rebooting I wasn't addressing the real problem. That sounds feasible, in the end I ended up just doing another factory reset and all is good. Thank you guys for all of the suggestions, I'm fairly certain this was the issue. So maybe avoid transparent nav bars for now
