Google Voice Unread Count Widget

Download the latest version of google voice. They've finally included an unread count widget in their app.

I thought about attempting this, but I only really need the Google Voice Unread count notifications. I do just fine with the Gmail notifications that I get now. I'll be watching this and hopefully a better solution for JUST getting the GV notifications.

EDIT: Actually, I thought I understood your post, but now I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure it would meet your needs. If you didn't want to mix text notifications and gvoice notifications to the widget then just don't set up the filter to forward your text notifications to your Gvoice dedicated inbox.

A real GV unread widget just launched
search for "google voice unread count" or "feokala" in the market.
The widget does everything described but in just 1 widget. It works great

Actually, the new google voice app has it's own unread widget. No need to pay for a market asp. Thanks for digging this dead thread up though?

I guess i am missing this, unless you are talking about the GINORMOUS inbox widget, that gives me way more info than I want. Am i missing something? I would just like a widget that shows unread message count, nothing else, well maybe also the google voice logo....

Are you talking about the "g2" version? The one with the HUGE WHITE inbox that is ugly as all get out? I would not classify that as an unread widget, that is much more, and much bigger, and did I mention, much uglier?

Exactly, the widget is way to busy. I purchased the Google Voice Unread Count app and it works great. You can use the google voice icon with a simple unread count on the edge of the icon and have the option of including sms and/or voicemail.

How do you apply this?

I'm using the GV Unread Count purchased widget, and not overly happy with it. It has delays before updating.
I'll quote the post above...how do you apply this?

Gmail Unread Widget PROBLEM!

whenever i click on the Gmail Unread Widget that i create, it goes to the first email, and then i have to back out to get to the inbox.
i would really like it to just go to my inbox when i click on the widget.

Are you talking about the home screen or the lock screen?
For home screen status bar, Paranoid Android is the ONLY rom that offers this feature. They call it "Do not disturb" feature. It blocks any ticker in the status bar.
I requested for this specific feature to be included in a variety of roms but no dev responded so far.

Hi,
That is called the notification area. Which is the same area as the clock, date, etc.
And what u want used to be available on older SMS apps.
It may be available on Handcent SMS app or GO SMS app as well, but I'm not sure since I haven't seen that since HTC sense ROM.
It was a privacy setting on the SMS app.
I'll do a search and get back to u.

[Ask] notification category?

You can use an app called "sms unread counter". It only applies to icons on your homescreen. It works for calls, sms, and emails. As far as I know there is no way to do it in the pull down bar just with icons on the screen.

If I'm not mistaken Android kind of does this on it's own. I know if I get an email in my status it shows the notification. Then in that notification it can say +5 more emails. Then I can drag down on that notification to see the other emails without fully opening them.
You could try the app floatify to see of that will help you.

Yeah, through the same app the notification should not create a new notification but instead increase the number on an already existing notification.

hi Lokke. thx for reply
unfortunately calls, and sms is what i barely use. in other hand, such email, bbm, twitter, chat group is what i mostly use, and sometimes in group chat or community chat (bbm, line, whatsapp, and else) new chat just for new information about whats going on if that case i just slide to close notification. but sometimes also new important information come, and i barely see it because it stack with another notification

hi lolcakes, thx for reply.
thats what i thought, and i'm pretty sure if notification only per app not per new notification, it will come in handy.
=============================================================================================
on the other case if there is really no app or way to do it, i think this will be bring new idea for developer to make such thing like this, is not like iam demanding, commanding, or asking for the developer to made it, but consider it as an opportunity to make small step for android, because for me it will be usefull, and i hope for the rest who own an android devices. i mean come on guy, is android, free to do whatever it suite you, the problem is i even dont know where to start. lol

Notification Badges

Hey Guys,
I am yet to receive my HTC U11 but I just wanna check on a few things regarding notifications :
1) Do you get unread badge counters for emails, sms, missed calls, Whatsapp messages and Facebook? It is supposed to be like a red counter if I am not mistaken. Just want to know if apps like Facebook and Whatsapp get this too.
2) The Notification LED light is only RG instead of RGB yes? Would like to confirm on this.
Thanks in Advance Guys!

Hello,
my 2 cents: if you use Android Messages instead of HTC Messages, you do get a red badge counter for unread sms.
As for the notification LED, I think I've read somewhere thats it's RGB, but having received my U11 only yesterday late afternoon, I can't confirm...

Thanks man. I am more interested to know if Facebook or Whatsapp has unread message counters on the icons.

I get badge notifications for stock email, Twitter, and Next handcent SMS widget. None for Gmail, Facebook or instagram. Of course the last three is the App's fault, not the phone's fault.

That would be a first. HTC LEDs are always RG.

Confirmed RG only. Even the Red seems more Orange to me.

Has anyone found a way to display Badge count on the Facebook App?
Most of my other main Apps works fine. Only Facebook does not display any Badge Count.
Thanks!

Don't confuse the fact that HTC uses only two notification LED colors (green and amber) with the number of actual LED color components (RG or RGB).

Did you manage to find out how to turn on badge count for the facebook icon? Like yourself, only my facebook is playing up. Very annoying.

I can't say for sure that it will work with the Facebook app, but the current version of Nova Launcher replicates the notification badge functionality that Android "O" is going to have. So, if you're okay with switching to a different launcher, you might give Nova a try and see if it works there. (I'm running Nova on my U11, but I neither use Facebook, nor the notification badge feature, so I can't speak personally as to how well it works. Sorry).

There also the Tesla Unread companion app to Nova launcher

Thanks guys, I'll look into Nova (it's got some good reviews).
I just find it frustrating how existing functionality (coming from a Samsung Note 4) isn't supported by a new Android device. Petty but annoying.

What functionalities are you referring to?

I can't get Nova to display any unread notifications using any of the three options (dynamic, numeric or dots). Very frustrating. This works on the LG G6 but I suspect it's because it is only on 7 not 7.1. Has anyone gotten this to work with the U11?

Again, check out Tesla Unread app
Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk

I am using Tesla Unread. Doesn't work.

Hmmm . . . it's working for me. Maybe a permissions issue under Settings?

Hi all - I just got a HTC U11+ and having the same issue - no notification badges for Whatsapp or Facebook, Gmail etc. Why is this? It was there on my HTC 10. Does Nova Launcher mean you can't use the stock background and layout of the phone? Or is it possible to override Nova Laucher and use just Tesla Unread?

I got mine working with Nova and Tesla but wasnt using the standard background. To be honest, even though it "worked" the notification badges were rather sporadic and frustrated me.
So much that in the end I sold the phone and bought myself a Samsung Note 8. Guess what? Everything worked straight out of the box! HTC please take note (pardon the pun).
My recent experience will make me think twice before ever choosing another HTC product again.

Really?? That's so frustrating that they'd remove this feature - it worked fine on my HTC 10. Don't understand the thought process. I love everything else about the phone and personally am a big fan of the HTC/Google Android and less keen on Samsung. I feel dubious about using a third party app to completely replace the home screen, just for the notification feature (especially if it only works sporadically...)
