I just switched from windows phone to the lg g3. So far I am loving the switch. My only remaining issue is that windows phone had a feature where if you glanced at your inbox it would clear the "count" on the widget. As far as I can tell all of the android email widgets only show unread messages. This doesn't work for me as well.
Can anyone point me at a widget that behaves similar to the windows phone widget? Basically is shows the count of messages that have come in since the last time email was checked.
I still manage read/unread on the desktop.. but for mobile device this is sure a nice feature.
If you are willing to use nova launcher then you can install tesla unread settings which will provide you unread counters on the corresponding icon. That's what I use and I love it. Here's a screenie:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

I need some input from somebody running the VZW 6.1 ROM.
I don't really use the music feature on my TP2 as it is my "work phone", so I never really noticed this until I made some replacement music slider icons.
Within in the music tab, there is a seperate slider when you select "Library" from the main slider.
As you slide across the music slider I noticed that when the tab passes over the "Playlist" icon, it shows a "HOME" icon instead of a playlist icon.
Making sure I wasn't seeing things, I re-flashed a test phone I have with the stock 6.1 ROM and did not install anything else... and sure enough it does the same thing (see screen shot below).
So what I want to know is this... do I have a bad copy of the ROM or is everybody's VZW 6.1 ROM like this?

Is there a way for me to change the default pictures or maybe hide them?
Also, is there a way to add a scroll bar to that list? I miss being able to skip to say, the "M" names in a few seconds.
I am wondering the same thing. I miss navigating the iPhone dialer because you can just tap on the alphabet and it'll bring you right to where you wanted to be.
*A shameful self bump*
there are other contact managers in the marketplace, you could give them a try. i havnt really messed around with any, so i cant really recommend anything.
what i would suggest is to use your groups, manage your friends in a friends group, family, work and so on... that way you dont have to scroll through large number of contacts... the nice thing about using groups is that you can quickly send mass texts or emails...and if you use google voice you can have different voicemails based on the different groups.
Loving the phone so far. One issue (aside from the low res photos) is syncing with Google +. I have quite a few friends on there and everything is set to sync. On my PC in the circle I am most interested is 10 people. On the phone that circle shows 0 people. Now if I go to the people app and choose to display by Google+ contact, some people show up but not others. I have manually removed and added people over and over, and forced the phone to sync over and over but nothing is working. I even went to google contacts and added peoples profile information there but no joy. Linkedin worked flawlessly, as did Twitter. Aside from trying to uninstall google+ and reinstall, anyone had the same issue or any fixes?
EDIT: Turns out I can not delete the app anyway......
Also if I go to the Circle on my phone it says "10 people" in the top left yet also says no people on the very same page.........

Found a nice unread count app for K9, Message Center. I know some launchers can do this, but I haven't found one that just shows the number. I only use it for K9, but looks like it does a lot more. Can make the "1" any size or color, and disappears if no messages. Can add mail icon if you like that, or filter with text, or show header.... Just not sure if it uses juice, I see it in services running.

UPDATED
I have done some more playing around and found that if you change the setting in Facebook itself to "Hide Declined Events" this also hides them in the exported calendar URL.
Problem fixed!

Hey Team
I have looked all over and found lots of treads on changing what shows up on your phones Calendar but none are quite what im looking for,
what I want is for the Android Calendar to show only the Facebook Events I have accected or not resonded to yet and my standard Google calandar.
What I have tried:
Syncing with all of Facebook: This brings the Events you have accepted and Not answered yet but it also bring every single friends Bithday over, filling you calendar/Agenda with junk
Exporting the FaceBook Cal via URL: This brings over the events without the Birthdays but has ALL events even the ones you have declinded
Does anyone know a way to get the accecpted events (and the not yet replied if possiable) without the BIrthday reminders?
Thanks heaps
P.S Can a MOD please remove this if you think this will not help others,
Thanks
