Need a TEXTING app that shows unread count on the icon. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

So, was using TEXTRA with no issues and then the problem, The icon showed that there was ONE unread message. I deleted the app, reinstalled, same issue. So, now I look for an app that can show the correct number of unread messages on the icon. Thanks!

Clear data on the app

Did that, no luck. Actually, emailed the developer and he said it's a known issue they are working on.

Ohhhh ok... Well there's plenty of apps out there. I use hangouts. Never had any problems with it

Try "unread count" from the playstore

Sms not being sent

I installed Go SMS because i love the features especially the pop notification. Using the app, I've come to realize that text messages are not being sent. It just stays there and never sends. I looked at HTC's messaging app and the text also displays there are being sent but never sends.
Has anyone else had a problem sending texts with GoSMS?
I uninstalled Go SMS and using just the default to see if Go SMS was the one causing the issue
maybe I am the only one.
I've had this issue as well. Sometimes it will just say text not sent and never send.
Other times I will get an error saying text not sent but it did indeed send so I end up sending two of the same.
Best thing you can do with this is pull the SIM card and re-insert it. This problem, if existing, affects more than just people who use GoSMS as GoSMS is just a skinned texting surrogate. Sure, it sends and receives texts, but it does so using the frameworks of the main messaging app on your device. I've encountered this problem with the main messaging app, and I just pull the SIM or put it in airplane mode for a few seconds then take it off and it's fixed it every time.
Hope this helps.

Does the issue go away after doing that or does it come back? Should I turn off the phone when I remove the sim or should I do it while it is on?
If a text doesn't send for me I can still send one right after and that one sends fine.
so for the past 2 days i used HTC's messaging app and everything always sent. just now i redownloaded GO SMS and the second text i sent, it did not send so it must be something else

it's an uglier app but I did download it. So far so good
For what it's worth, gosms works fine for me other than the recipient used to get duplicate messages. I froze the stock messaging app and changed gosms settings to control text delivery and it's been all good so far. It's not an ics compatibility issue, it's sense. Hope that helps

I will keep this in mind. I haven't rooted my phone so I can't freeze the message app.

So i have found out what is causing my text not to send. If I reply to a text using the pop notification while I am in another app like Google Chrome or draw something, the text does not send. When I go to go sms, I can see the green arrow showing that it is sending but it never does. The only times I can successfully 100% of the time send a text from the pop up notification is if I am on the home screen instead of within another app. Can anyone else test this for me to see if I am the only one with this issue?

I had the exact same problem with duplicate messages. the freeze worked for me. i had no more issues with messages being sent but i no longer have root access so i can't confirm if that would have changed over time. I have no issues right now.

So even if you reply from the pop up notification while within another app, your text message sends?
Since there is no way to root the AT&T HOX without it being discovered by htc/at&t, I haven't rooted and therefore can't freeze the messaging app

Not sure if you have solved your problem yet, but ChompSMS has worked well for me since the latest update to cater to some of HTC One X's quirks.

I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

I'm having the same issue with texts not sending from the pop up window. It doesn't happen all the time but enough that it's annoying and I always go to the app to make sure it sent, which kind of defeats the purpose of the pop up. I haven't noticed whether it was when I'm in another app or not. However, it's not that it just doesn't send, it's totally lost. There will be no record of it. Other times messages seem to just get stuck sending and I have to click edit and resend in order to get them to go through.
GO SMS has also become very laggy. I can't really type when it's sending or receiving a message. If I'm typing during this time, it's delayed in showing what I've typed and auto-correct and word suggestion don't work. Also, when I leave a conversation and go back to the main screen, it takes several seconds to update the threads. Long enough that I can click on one but then it takes me to the wrong one because it's updated. I thought maybe I just have too many messages. I've set it to limit messages to 700 per thread. Anyone else experiencing these issues? I think I'll try Chomp again until these issues are fixed.

GMail says I have 3 unread messages but it shows only 2

Hello,
many times happened that GMail unread count messages notification indicates I have 3 email to read, but it shows only 2 of 3 unread emails.
I solved pressing the refresh button so far, but it doesn't work now.
How can I solve?
had this problem too.
go from Inbox to Labels then choose all messages and this is where your last unread message should show up...
Yes, I've actually noticed that if I go in all mail I see that message. If I am not wrong, this happens only for certain messages. Strange!

Happened to me too once. I solved opening gmail with browser and reading the mails.
Inviato dal mio HTC Desire S
I don't think it's an issue, just that there's an unread email you missed long ago Like fonpacific me said, go to Gmail on your PC and read the email.
Reading the email on the pc is not a solution. For sure I can do it, but it is not absolutely normal that I see 2 unread messages but the counter says 3.
The email is not an old one that I missed long ago. Actually it's just an email I've received few minutes earlier.
As far as I can see, this only happened with a particular message today.
I think it may be related to background syncing. For me this problem shows up more often if I have background syncing turned off. But may be a bug in Gmail app as well.
Well, I've noticed that this mainly happens only with a certain type of e-mails. They are are all bugreport (bugzilla) notifications (e.g. KDE bugs, or Gentoo bugs, etc.). And background syncing is always on, for me.

Hi,
You can clear data for the Gmail app and it should function properly and you can then see the unread mail and the app should function normally henceforth. Happens to me almost always when i restore Nandroid backups. Let me know if it worked
to all, just click refresh and there mails
Sorry for my English. You have to change the settings how many days back you want to synchronize. Messages that are unable to see the extent they are not what you set.

Handcent Shows Sending Double Text (doesn't actually send double though)

I have an odd problem. I'm using Handcent as the default SMS app instead of Hangouts. When I send a text, it shows double text in the app, but it doesn't actually send out double. The other side only gets 1 text which is cool. however, it is pretty annoying and takes up a lot of screenspace in the app.
When using hangouts to send text, it doesnt show double. Handcent recently updated it's app to support kitkat. Anyone else have isssues like this using third party SMS app on the N5?
No issues at all using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47147720&postcount=23
Confirmed, also having this issue with Handcent. Can't lose Handcent without losing popup message notifications, so I'll deal for now

Seconded, also looks like two texts are being sent in handcent
Solution
Hi,
I had this problem also but think I figured it out! Go to Settings>> Apps>>All Apps >> Google Hangouts and Disable it. Then restart your phone. Things are working well on my Nexus 5 now when I send and only one message is shown in Handcent.
I had the same issue, and I corrected it by uninstalling the Handcent Emoji addon... If you have that installed, it tends to not play nice.
HTH!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I tried both suggestions, disabling Hangouts and uninstalling the emoji plugin (rebooting after each), and neither corrected the issue. Hopefully Handcent fixes the problem in an update soon!
I removed handcent and then reinstalled it and set it as default sms app before opening it the other day which resolved the issue for maybe 2 days then it just started showing double texts again
I had the issue, I removed it for now giving Hangouts a try.
I like the idea of 1 application to handle the functionality.

GO SMS also had this but it stopped out of no where..
I just removed Handcent again and once again reinstalled it and made it the default sms app in settings before opening up Handcent and I'm back to showing one sent text again
Having the same issue, usually a reboot solves it for a minute or five. sent email to developer
i posted a fix one post up although lets hope they can sort it with just an install

Yes, i have also this problem. did anyone fixed this ?
I am having the same issue and I have made a little discovery: the thing only happen (at least for me) when the mobile data are activated. Yesterday I was turning crazy with Hangout that doesn't rung, handcent that made me send double sms and go sms that shows the popup window.
So I installed Go sms and deleted the other two apps: today when I was using my phone with mobile data enabled, it sent two sms (the other person received only one). Than turned off data, enabled Wifi and the issue stopped. It's quite weird
It's all happening to my handcent after upgraded to 4.4 I am getting double text out but not actually sending double to the receiver

I had this issue. Could never get it fixed. So instead I use 88sms. It took a bit to get used to it cause I've had handcent since the G1 but 88 has a pop up too and it doesn't seem to lag at all like Handcent seemed to do sometimes.

Notifications - Don't automatically clear...

I have a question about the clearing of notifications. I have the international version. I have noticed that when I get a notification, say a text message, or an email, when I click on it, it takes me to the application. I look at the message or email and go about my business.
The notification still shows in the shade as if I haven't looked at the message. I have to swipe it clear. I don't have this problem on my other phones. It's kind of a niggle with me right now. I enjoy everything else with phone. Anyone else having this issue? It happens with stock messaging, google messaging, sometimes with inbox, nine mail, mailwise mail, stock email app...

no. If others aren't experiencing this, perhaps I should reset, and re-road my apps. Wonder if it has to do with LED-Blinker pro....it's an app I have installed that controls the LED notifications similar to light flow...that'll be the first app I remove...
and the culprit was LED-Blinker Pro...removed and issue is gone...

Allo&Messages notifications

I am not receiving notifications for Allo or Google messages. Have tried everything I've seen online. Anyone have these working? If so how?
I have found you have to either manually enable it per app or tell the phone to allow all.

I have tried both and those two do not work. I get all other notifications
Same issue, also for discord.
Same here for Hangouts and I am sure a few other apps.
For Hangouts send yourself a message but don't open it, you'll then be notified when new ones arrive.
Try disabling the MIUI battery saver for the specific app.
Tried that doesn't help.

Notifications are fixed in the China dev rom, just installed it and immediately started getting notifications on Allo, discord and Hangouts. A ton of additions as well! slider customization is now in the settings as well!
Mine magically started working last night. Someone sent me a text (my Google Voice goes to Hangouts) and it sat unread for several hours. I opened it then poof, all Hangouts notifications work now.

Yes dev rom is a huge difference. Can now rock it as my daily. Getting notifications and using fi and att.
I figured out the solution to this. Messages is listed as the default app but isn't. From Messages, mark all as read, it will then display a message at the bottom asking to make Messages the default. Press yes and notifications start working.
