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

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...)
Hey,
Someone posted this screen capture on YouTube! Seems legit.
The first changes I can instantly notice is the white background everywhere & they have added Night Light (finally). Can wait to get the update! Excited?

Yeah user who selected to join beta program already receiving oreo this day
In settings
OnePlus 6 black background
OnePlus 7 Pro white background
Can you tell me how to make the settings screen black with the OnePlus 7 Pro ?
Found it never mind
If you're talking about the theme, it's in the settings under display.
Apparently the latest version of the software will try to force a dark theme on other apps also, like Instagram, etc.

Apparently I must have missed the memo, my Instagram is still white background, lol
me too, lol. but he might mean in the Android Q beta. I believe since Q is going to have dark theme now, one of the features is that it also tries to force certain apps into dark theme as well.

Hmmm...That could have been from the Q Beta review video I was watching, ignore me, carry on
So I've upgraded to Android 10 and I'm sure not all Google apps that support the dark theme are working, or is it just me. For instance I thought the boot screen was now dark too? Mine is just the same as before. Google Chrome and Now are still? white also. Is the assistant meant to be white? I've got dark mode turned on, did the update OTA.

Did you enable system darkmode? Or global darkmode? System darkmode is just theming. Global darkmode sets the default.
Tried that, still the same!

Just as title states, looking for Facebook and Instagram to be black, the recent updates are supposed to work with Android 10s dark mode and they aren't?

I had to enable the "Nuanced Dark" theme in customization AND also also enable "Override force-dark" in the developer options. I am having problems with text not showing in the messenger app this way but so far that is my only issue I have came across.
Hope this helps
