Finally found a great app to give missed event reminders. Works for Gmail, Google Voice, SMS & MMS, email, Google Talk and something called K9 Mail.
Reminders are very configurable. It can make a sound, vibrate and/or even flash the screen for a brief period (default is 1/2 second - it will show your lock screen).
Lots of other options to customize, and all seem to work on the Streak!

Does anyone know how to get the number of messages to show next to the contact's name in the stock SMS/MMS app? Thanks in advance.

I do not see an option for it, which leads me to believe that you will have to use a 3rd party SMS app if you want that feature.
Hey! try usin go sms or handcent sms from the market!
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I would defiantly give handcent a go its got some pretty good extras also like multicoloured notification LED light depending on event and also you can show a SMS when the screen is locked for quick reply.
Well that's the thing, I meant without a third-party app, like it is on stock Android. I've had Go SMS, but I prefer to have notification icons that actually match with the app, I guess.

This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
Facebook updates.

The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.

Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?

I assume you have tried rebooting?

It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.

I would love to have repeating alerts for missed calls, texts, and calendar events. I found a reference to having Tasker do this but before I go this route I wanted to see what other apps people are using for this function?
Agreed. I should probably take the time to figure out how to do this with tasker, but if there is a simpler solution it would be nice.

Try "NoLed" it has lots of options and is very easy to setup.

Missed Call Reminder looks like it may do the trick. Going to try it out...
Anyone use this app yet?
Try Missed Message Flasher Free, in the Android Market. I been using it forever and I love it.

Easy reminder does texts and missed calls. Calendar alerts I am not sure of.

noled has the option to have audio only reminder notifications
GO SMS has settings for this.
i found an app called Flashlight Alerts (search on xda) but it flashes your camera flash when you receive a text or phone call (sadly theres no way to have it repeat a flash every few min to remind you though, yet)
I'm now to the android scene,andsoup. so far I think it's pretty cool. But one disturbing thing about the optimus is the way it handles voicemail. The is no visual voicemail integrated into the dialer, using a separate app sucks- especially when it's an att app that doesn't seem to load.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

It's not built into the dialer, but Google Voice is a solution that loads and works well. It also tries to transcribe and emails those transcriptions to you
Google Voice also has an option to display your voicemails in the call log screen.

I'm using the ATT app and it works flawlessly.

I've been using PF Voicemail + on my old GS2 with good success and over the few days I've had my OG it has worked just as well. It also transfered my old messages and missed call log when I made the switch as a bonus. Not sure if that was the app, or the result of TiBu. Either way, no issues I can see so far on the OG.

I managed to get Google voice to work with the MMS app with the app GV integration, but it's really hit and miss. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't, and it slows the device down. Is there a better way to combine GV and the MMS app? I have tried every texting app but none are as fast and simple as the stock MMS app. Any suggestions?

I'm also trying to get this figured out. I used the GV Integration app as well, however it doesn't work in Android 4.2.2, so it isn't an option anymore. Right now, I'm using Messaging + Google Voice, which is very similar to the stock app, however, it doesn't have that nice pop-up box like the stock one.
Well its working for me but I get no notifications in the stock sms app. I think it might be because the app is not in the actual /system/app folder. I would find out by moving it but I don't know where jackpot has the system apps installed to.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Well I found the parent app for sms and tried moving to system/app but I didn't know that everyone had this problem with 4.2.2. Right now I still use GV integration but since SMS gives no notifications, I just enable gv notifications to at least know I got a text and reply with the SMS app.
I have used that app before but the notifications and buttons in the app are horrible looking to me so I prefer not to use it.
