Hard Reset? It may just be a glitch in the iOS. Has this started happening since you downloaded a new app maybe or even a new tone?
hard reset? you mean resetting the settings?
It started happening since I updated a bunch of cydia apps, but I think I already reverted the changes and still notificaions are broken. the funny thing is that messages are marked as new when I launch messages.app or bitesms, and other notifications from other apps show fine
Hold down the sleep/wake button at the top and the home button (press at the same time) and keep holding them pressed untl the Apple logo appears (ignore the "slide to switch off" that will appear)
so you call reboot a hard reset, huh?
I will try safe mode
