I really want to love this phone. And I do really like the screen, and battery life and the smoothness of it, but it's the little things that are bothering me.
With my past Galaxy S6 if there was a notification through an app like messenger or words with friends there would be a little red dot with the number over the app. I can't see or get that on this phone.
I've tried 4 messenger apps and none runs seamlessly. Either a picture from a friend won't download (and I've been on with verizon and 2 Google help calls and it still doesn't work with messenger +) Or the emojis won't work correctly or the photos sent have to be manually downloaded instead of just showing up like in GoSMSpro. Textra is ok but when I want to send a photo the gallery is all jumbled and not compartmentalized correctly. And sometimes I get a vibration and sometimes I don't and sometimes I get the notification of a text and sometimes I don't. It's crazy frustrating.
I've tried Nova Launcher and Action Launcher and I really like them but they don't always help with the notifications.
So am I being petty? I don't want to sound like it but it's just frustrating when you get sent a pic you can't download, in a message you weren't notified about in a app that doesn't show there was a notification.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
