Default Weird 9650 Notifications Issue

Hello,

I just bought a used 9650 to replace my Android Moment, and it's been great except for one cosmetic issue. The font for some notifications on the home screen (when the notification bar is expanded) sometimes turns black and is hard to read. I am running the latest Sprint OS (.600) for this device and am on the default theme. Any ideas on how to fix this other than a wipe and restore (I have already done this)?

Thanks.

I'll say restore to factory settings using BDM & then install new OS & see if that works.

The .600 OS is incredibly buggy.
I recommend heading over to the Hybrid section, and loading OSBB 6, 7 or 8. They fix the issues.

I'd recommend using .587 instead of .600 if you reload the OS.

Skip these hybrids, they don't solve anything in 587, but they do create issues.

Thanks for the help! Looks like a wipe + .587 is the way to go.

You can get .587 from here. So far it seems to be working all right.
