Why do I have 2 different mail notifications?

I am not sure what is going on here.
Firstly, I use GMAIL as my email account.
I have on my home screen the icon for my mail. However, in the top left hand corner of my home screen is the @ symbol and it tells me I have 100+ email messages, but when I look at my actual email icon on the home screen, there is no notification of any new emails.
When I drag down the @ symbol from the top left hand corner of my screen to look at the 100+ emails, it shows me my inbox, but there are no new messages, just the messages I have already checked and read.
Is their a way to eliminate the @ symbol notification system and only use the widget on the home screen to inform me of new incoming messages real time?
Thank you,
Whiteice
The notification with @ is from Gmail app. the shortcut on your homescreen is from HTCmail.
So if you get a notification like @ then open Gmail app. then you will see your mails.
you can disable this notification in the settings for Gmail.
Also try to manually synchronize your gmail application : use the menu button to refresh or go to the setup to disable the notifications.

Stock Calendar Issues

I cannot create new events in the stock calendar app. If I try to add an event when I select save the following message pops up:
"Loading Calendars"
>Insert circle that rotates similar to an hour glass
And that message with the rotating circle will stay there indefinitely if I let it.
Any ideas on what would cause this? I also have Yahoo, Outlook and Google calendars that I cannot get to sync with the stock calendar app.
All set. The issue was in the "All Apps" tab "Calendar Storage" was disabled. My first thought was to go into the app and select enable but that button was missing so I went to the 3-dot menu in the top-right cornet and selected "Reset App Preferences" which enabled Calendar Storage. I then launched the calendar app and it works fine now

[Q] How to disable internal SMS app icon notifications?

Any idea how to disable integrated SMS messaging app? Its somehow bugged and when using Hangouts as default SMS app, it still shows icon badges with new messages count. So even when I read SMS in Hangouts, it still shows count on app icon. And even when you open msg in internal app, it doesnt mark it as read, so count doesnt disappear.
Edit seems like quite problem, because sms app is integrated to dialer/phone app. So its not shown anywhere in system separately, so I cant controll what it does. And it doesnt allow to disable notification numbers on icon...

this problem is solved in actuall hangouts settings..
Check it or replace default messaging app in settings..
Got latest hangouts, its default SMS app. Done this one first.
But still messages goes also to internal SMS app and as they arrive, they are marked unread regardless what I do in Hangouts. So MSG app shows icon badge. Only way is to delete SMS in Hangouts, then they disappear from internal app.
Pinch the home screen and pick More Settings, then find Badge app icons. You should be able to turn them off from there.

Switched to nova launcher because of this, works fine too [emoji1]
Nova is my favorite and beats the EMUI IOS launcher, I must have an app drawer.
I cannot change the default message app at all
Like the title says I don't even have the menu item in Settings to do so.
I have downloaded 8sms and Textra but neither of these or Hangouts will successfully change from the default app. All can read my texts and the text history but I cannot send. I am tired of the default app which I think is poor and also the Android emojis which I cannot figure out.
Regarding emojis I've tried downloading different font and keyboards with iPhone/twitter/Samsung/Whatsapp style emojis but they are all changed into android ones in the actual messages
I have an L09 running Nova launcher with build B145.
Please tell me someone has a trick...
THANK YOU

I disabled the badge icons some time ago when I found the possibility of doing so by chance... now wanted to enable again and I couldn't find WHERE I had done that!
Thank you

No music lock screen controls

That's one minor issue for me
Hmm, I somewhat have this problem, too. Google Play Music has lock screen controls, but Amazon Music does not. Haven't tried any other of the apps.
I only tried Spotify, I can pull down the notification screen and see a small widget to control but I was hoping to have the full lock screen with the album art
the default music app has lock screen controls. (see attached screenshot)
i checked it with PIN security screen lock & Pattern security screen lock
I have this issue as well. I tested it with Spotify. My finding is that once a notification is "read/view" it will not show up in the lock screen anymore. Once the song finishes and switch to a new song, the notification comes back. If I starts Spotify and stay in the app the notification is available on the lock screen.
I decided to install "next" lock screen by Microsoft while I thinker with modifying the framework and system ui.
I got a Spotify notification widget in my lockscreen (i still wish it was a full screen album artwork) . Go to settings, notification center, notice management and then find Spotify and make it important... I also noticed I changed other apps like Instagram and Fb messenger and other ones were listed as other. So I changed it
If you go into Spotify then go to another app your notification widget will disappear until the next song.
Edit:
If you're rooted you can use my modded SystemUI apk if you use some of the popular music streaming app..

Please use Ambient Display "Smart activation" in Lock screen preferences.
