Help No unread message count?

[roush611]

I just picked up a Moto x today. Traded my HTC One for this phone. I am not getting an unread message count on the stock messaging app. How the heck do I turn that on?

Are you planning on changing the theme or launcher .

I was going to leave it be for now. It is driving me nuts though.

Cause my boy didn't have it or shall i say can't find but he started using go launcher and he got them now . As i told him just check in every app and under notification sounds the uncount should be there

Another way is via Nova Launcher Prime or WidgetLocker

Nova Launcher Prime
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&hl=en (paid version, well worth it)

TeslaUnread
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.notifier&hl=en (Requires Nova Launcher Prime or WidgetLocker. )

So then the stock messaging app does not show this?

no
the stock launcher is what shows this.

only apps i know to show it are Nova, ADW and a few others that I do not remember off the top of my head.

it is a little annoying but you get what you get so to speak.

Funny that you mention this problem. I just picked up the moto x as well and its been driving me crazy. Really amazing how something so small can be so irritating. Did you ever figure out a solution for this? Im tempted to go back to HTC just because this pisses me off so much

The answer is message #5. After you start using Nova Launcher Prime you will wonder how they kept the secret from you for so long. It is THE major change to my phones over the last year.
