New iPhone convert and this update is great. The lag in the camera was getting super annoying. Hoping people can answer a few of my questions here to help me with the last few things I can't figure out.
I MUCH prefer the Gmail app over the mail app and have moved it to the favorites app bar down the bottom, however I can not find out how to get it to display the "1" when a new mail message comes in similar to the samsung mail app. The new messages shows up top in the notoifications but not on the app itself. This is a huge dissatisfier for me now.
Group chat is working between 3 of my friends (both iphone and not) so I was excited to see that Android/Samsung has this capability as I was concerned about the singluar back and forth. I have tried it with a group of other iphone users and the original message get rec'd/ i recieve it but i do not get any of the subsiquent repsonses.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance!
Samsung apps put the notification number directly on the icon but that's specific to samsung and is not part of android. I think go launcher may have that option. Really it's just one of those things you get used to not having. It bugged me at first but not anymore. With the notification system in android and my beloved blinking LED i'm a pretty happy camper.
How are you doing group messaging? Just like regular texting?
Personally I don't even have a texting plan. I use google voice and everyone ONLY has my google voice number and not my AT&T number. I text with that and all texting is free. However I text so rarely I could count on one hand the number of times I do that in a year.
My family and friends have taken to using messaging apps that are free and work much better than texting. Suck as KiK, Touch and Whatsapp. They work across several different OS's. I highly recommend taking a look at those and getting your friends to use one.
