How do I get my wife's GS3 on Jelly Bean to stop sending her mobile number along with all her text messages??? I have the option turned off on my phone and her's, but it won't go away?? She is the only contact I am having an issue with, anyone else run into this?
Check if you have multiple phone numbers in her contact. If you do then it'll display which number its coming from.
Otherwise this sounds like something you should post in the gs3 forum if its only her phone.

I will try to remove the home number and see if that helps, thanks!

BINGO! Only store one phone number per contact and that solves the issue, thanks again!

I apologize ahead of time if this is an easy problem, but I haven't been an Android user for a very long time.
Everytime a new text message comes in, there will be a notification stating so. After I read the message and even after replying to them, the notification is still there and won't go away until I hit clear.
Is this intended for the notification to continue to notify you even after you've read the text? I actually have "Received notification - Show notification in status bar when messages are received" turned off.
Thanks in advance.
Are you using stock sms or something else?

am having the same problem and I and using the stock sms. When you open it from the status bar and then you go to sms it still shows as new until you open it up again.

Same. I have to go into the message and back out a few times to clear.

Yessir I am. Anyone able to resolve thus issue or not have an issue at all? I'm on stock with 0 updates installed.

same here, i have to stay and leave the message open a second longer or reopen it. I guess we're too fast or something :X
When you open msg's from notifications panel,widget,app.drawer or switch to them via holding home hit the menu and go to all msgs then hit the menu key once more and chose mark as read.

This has been a common HTC issue since my Touch Pro 1 days...too bad we don't have root to fix it.
My icon on the top won't go away even when I click clear. as soon as I shut the screen off and back on it pops back up until I go into the messaging app and then the conversation

Damn really? The original EVO didnt have the issue
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Don't see how its a common issue when mine operates as it should
Locked & Loaded
mine does it also.
Same here. My Evo4g didn't do that, stock or rooted. I deduced that its a bug, and am hoping it will eventually get fixed up.

It is most likely a bug found I. Certain batches of 3vos. Possibly the pre ordered ones....

Ummm...no. I RUU'd awhile ago and it still happens. It's a bug, yes...happens only when opening from the widgets or notification bar...just saying, it should affect everyone.

If you read through the thread you would see that multiple people said they didn't have the issue. I don't know exactly what causes it but it isn't happening on all phones.
I got it here too. Didnt have the issue on my OG EVO
Every time I receive a picture in an MMS I get another message from "Anonymous" no subject. I open it and it say "message not found" I receive the message multiple times until I delete the original message. This happens in the stock messaging app and in Chomp. Uninstalled Chomp and it still happens on stock.
Rooted running UnNamed v1.0.1
Bump for some help. This is really annoying

Does this happen when you try to send a message to certain people, or just one person in particular? I wonder if maybe it's a read receipt notifying you that it was delivered? I'm on a custom ROM so I can't check. Try going into messaging, hit menu, then select settings.
Otherwise, maybe it's a carrier issue.
No Trojan this happens when I receive picture messages. From anybody on multiple carriers. May be an at&t issue. I think this happened on my Infuse too but don't remember if I ever resolved it

It happened to me on my Atrix. I found if I ignored it and didn't open it, it actually deleted itself. As far as I can tell, it's related to read receipts. Unnamed Rom doesn't offer the ability to request them and I don't think Stock did either but I also don't use a 3rd party messaging Application. Try turning off Read/Delivery Receipts on your device and see what happens.

From what I have been able to tell, it is a Carrier Issue AND read receipt issue.
Anyone found a fix for it yet?
Happened to me today, we both use GoSMS but I think she has enabled delivery receipt.
did you happened to fix it?
I love how people are complaining that this was brought up again in another thread, which in fact led it to being locked even though there is no answer on this board. It is really annoying getting those messages. I have searched "blank anonymous", "blank message", and just "anonymous". Only two threads come up that are related to this issue. This one, and the one that was just locked. So if anyone truly has an answer to this issue and doesn't worry about trying to look cool by insulting users, please provide the answer, or at least point us in the right direction.
Thanks
I found a way that worked for my phone. I'm using ChompSMS and I would always get those and they would keep popping up.
All I had to do was open Chomp settings > SMS & MMS Network > MMS Network Settings > set "auto retrieve" to UNCHECKED.
I cant confirm that this will work (especially if you dont use Chomp as default), but it did work well for me. Good Luck

I've tried that. It doesn't do anything. Once I download the mms I'll get the anonymous message.
I've had this issue when I was on my Captivate. I tried flashed a few different ROMs and even went back to stock and the issue was still there. It was one of the reasons why I upgraded to the GS2 before my contract expired. However, the issue appeared on the new phone. The real problem was that my SIM card was messed up. Once they replaced my SIM card, everything was working fine again.
anyone found a fix?

Hi,
Upgraded to the S3 from a Desire HD, after their shocking decision to drop ICS.
One quick question, on the HTC you touch a contact and it starts dialing. On the S3 it opens the contact and you have to click dial again... This throws me every time!
It there anyway to change this behaviour? I want to be able to just touch the contact either in the contacts list or call logs and the phone to start dialing and not open the contact.
I using stock ICS...
Thanks,
Kiz
set up a few favourites in contacts then open fav tab in contacts I'm sure there's a way to always open favourites instead of contacts tab. anyway then you will see phone icon next to their name one click call.
workaround but ye

swipe your thumb from right to left on the contact (in phone book and log) to text or left to right to call him/her.

It's like that for a reason. One thing that throws me about Sense is that it's always wanting to dial someone. What if I want other options??
But, like the poster above said. Swipe right to dial or left to message contact.

You're absolutely right. When using HTC phone, I always accidentally click a contact while scrolling the list of contacts and it start calling the person. Very annoying. This will never happen in Samsung phones

Great, thanks guys.
I've had sense phones now for 3 years, so got used to it! For other options it's a long press.
Honestly, they had me with brand loyality and would've gone for the One X if they didn't drop ICS for DHD.
But, I'm liking the S3 and I live with the swiping!

Anyone experience this? My gf will text on her LGOG and when she receives text the wrong name pops up but under the #info it shows the right names #. You think having her contacts transfered over from her iPhone to her Android at at&t is causing a problem.

I had this happen a couple of times after flashing new ROMs. It seemed to fix itself after a couple of reboots.

I had this happen when I had the same number saved under 2 different names. I'm not sure how it happened, if this is the problem just delete the wrong one and it should fix itself.

My wife is seeing the same problem on her phone. She will send a text to somebody but the reply will say it is somebody else. Rebooting the phone then assigns the message to the correct person. We have already checked the contacts to see if there was any duplicate info, but that is not the issue. Might just run a custom rom and hope that fixes the problem.

I thought about going that route, but ended up just flashing Vanilla RootBox on it instead. Haven't had the problem on that rom. Now just the occasional reboot.
I had this problem this morning received text from my wife under my coworkers contact info as though it came from him. When I replied back under his contact info she received the reply. Very frustrating. He hasn't replied to any of my text this morning. May not be receiving them.
So out of curiosity, let's say I had received a text message from a new contact, and then S-OFF -> installed a custom rom, would you say that my contact is completely lost or would there be a possible way to get it back from the full phone backup I made prior to unlocking? Anybody knows a good hypnotist? Maybe I'll magically remember the digits

How about doing it the smart way and writing the number down. Then just use sms backup plus to save the messages. You can also just save them as a Google Contact and sync your phone so you'll get the contact saved. Perhaps you might want to do all 3.
Press my thanks if that helps. :thumbup:

I was sort of hoping google contact would've saved it, but I guess I played with my phone too quickly after receiving that text message and the sync did not happen.
Lesson learned! (or maybe the NSA kept a copy for me? lol)
Log into your carrier account (my-tmobile, etc) to see the numbers you've texted. You can write it down from there.
