Go SMS Pro not showing unread message count!

Hello!
I just upgraded to an HTC one S. I noticed that after I downloaded the GO sms app it will not show the unread message count on the new message icon. I had a G2 and it worked fine. I don't know if this is an HTC phone error or app error. I disabled the message notification for all sms messaging apps. I also downloaded the GO EX Launcher still no notification. Please Help!
 
If you're talking about the little number that shows on the messaging icon, you have to download Go Launcher Ex Notifications separately. It's a whole separate app.

This is only if you are using Go Launcher. No need for this if you are using other launchers AFAIK.
 
Yes. I don't see where it shows the number of new messages on the "new message" icon. It used to show that on my G2.
 
I downloaded the Launcher app and still doesn't work. I am wondering if another program or something is blocking it from working properly.
 
As I said, try enabling the message count on the Go SMS settings. I think its now disabled by default when you install it. If you don't know where that is, go into GO SMS>press menu button>settings>click on "advanced" at the top of the screen>notification settings>default notification settings>put a check on "unread count".
 
I enabled unread count, so I will wait to see if anything changes. I sent GO sms pro an email a couple days ago so hopefully they can shed some light on this as well. Thanks for your help on this Chanchan05 and GMash!
 
It still isn't showing up on the top of the screen but it shows up on the GO SMS pro app. I don't think the feature is allowed on HTC one. I will have to do some more digging around on this one. So frustrating.
 
when i go to notification settings i don't see " the unread count " box. Another problem i have is when i get a new message, while my phone is locked , the message wont go across the top of the screen like it use it. you have any suggestions for that?

There is no unread count check box on the latest version of Go SMS on my phone either. I wish this was not taken away!
To show inbound message content in the status bar try going to: settings> advanced> notification settings> default notification settings> then uncheck notification privacy mode

I have the same problem. It was working until I updated my Galaxy S2 the other day. I also have unchecked the privacy box in notification settings
 
For anyone having problem with their notification (like no sounds or message alert tone not working) after installing GO sms pro, here's what i did. hope it works on your phone.

1. Go to your original 'messaging', uncheck the "notification" in its setting..

2. Go to your Go sms pro, go to settings and look for advanced setting. uncheck "PRIORITY MESSAGING".
