Hello all!
I am new to smartphones, have had mine less then a month. It is a thing of wonder, but it has one glaring fault: It does not show me how many unheard voicemail messages I have.
My old plain cell phone was able to do this.
But my Samsung Galaxy S3 has a green phone icon with the number of missed calls (from known contacts only as far as I can tell) in a tiny orange circle on the green phone icon and that is it. No unheard voicemail indicator anywhere. And I have gotten calls from clients using numbers not on my list and they do not show up even as a missed call. I have to dial *86 and go into the actual voicemail to see how many I have.
I really really want an icon that shows me how many total unheard voicemails I have from ALL sources, not just my contacts. My old phone was able to do this.
I do not want my unheard voicemails transcribed into a typed message.
I do not want my unheard voicemails emailed to me.
I simply want to be able to glance at my phone and see an icon with a number on it that shows me how many unheard voicemails I have. It seems really simple, but I have scoured the Google App Play Store and have not found a single app or widget that appears able to do this.
Any help would be appreciated. This is truly making me nuts. I even tried to see if I could make one myself with the Tasker app, but my skills are too low to figure it out and all my attempts have failed. Please help if you can. I am desperate. Sanity is seriously at stake here. It is the one thing I find I hate about my phone.
Thank you!
