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?

I remember using a few roms on my HTC Evo that allowed me to setup an active sync account while disabling the required pin unlock screen. Anyone know how to go about this on the SG3?

I don't know about any ROMs that have that baked in, haven't looked for it specifically. However I've always used Enhanced Email which allows you to skip the requirement, used it on the SII E4GT and now also the SIII, works like a charm. Only downside is being locked to EE for exchange email, although it's a pretty great app, so not that big of a deal for me. Just tried out touchdown, which enforces the pin on the app only, so you don't have to lock the whole phone.
If you do find a 'baked in' solution, or ROM hack let me know, I'd be very interested.
Hope this helps a bit.

I asked the same thing yesterday, here's the thread I was directed to:

Worked like a charm, no more pin lock for my Exchange account.
My wife and I have i605's. Some apps look different on either phone. The most notable is Facebook. I even took the apk straight from her phone, completely different look. Logged in as her on my phone, didn't change. Logged in as me on her phone, kept her look. That convinces me it is phone specific, but why? We're both on Mean Bean Reloaded v.5. A few other apps have done this in the past. It's bugging the hell out of me. :cyclops:

Have either of you used Xposed or anything similar to tweak the DPI settings?
It isn't just DPI. I mean like her action bar is at the bottom of the screen, swiping left and right goes to different menus, and even action icons look different. It's really odd
Is it possible our phones are identifying differently to the Play Store? I'm grasping, I know.

Certainly is a strange phenomenon. The reason I mention the DPI tweaks is because it can cause the app to display itself in tablet mode or something. I'm guessing you'd know if for some reason your phone description was changed in your build.prop. When you go to 'about phone' in the settings do both phones read i605?

Yeah. I checked it after she got home. I can't think of any good reason. Doesn't hurt anything, just kinda makes me OCD. I HATE when I can't explain something.

I can certainly understand your frustration. Especially if hers is better somehow.... I would ask if she was maybe using the Facebook beta app, but you said you even took the apk straight from her phone. So that would, to me, as I'm sure was your thought process too, eliminate the possibility of the Play Store recognizing your phones different. I've never used MeanBean to know if there is something within the rom doing it. Strange, sorry nobody seems to have an explanation.
I just checked. Even her desktop layout looks different! Is there some beta program done by them? I've only had an account for a couple years, and don't even care about it. I'll email Facebook and see what they can tell me. It appears that it may be account related, but then I'd think it would change logging in on my phone. It's confusing

They do have a beta program you can sign up for.

I couldn't find it, is there any way I could set different notification sounds for DIFFERENT people on FB messenger?
So that I can tell who texted without actually checking it... anyone? please?
Not an option as of yet that I know of but I have not used it years due to no one I know using it.

Hello everybody!
Ever since I bought this phone (Pixel 6) the assistant has never worked. Considering this is a Google phone, one would assume it would work no issue but joke is firmly on me!
I have been researching and have seen mixed messages from many websites where some users have the issue, others no issue! I have seen some people say to reinstall the Google App (tried this, didn't work) and other people said to completely restore to factory which I don't want to considering the hassle of getting everything back in order.
Does anybody have anything else I might be able to try?
Thanks in advance

I have seen this happen with a different launcher installed. It happen with me using Nova launcher back in the beginning of using the P6. Nova fixed the issue a week after people complained.

No the Browser should not block it.
But since you brought up the Brave Brower.
Did you disable Chrome?
I think the assist only works with Chrome. I am not a100% sure.
I am going to step aside and let someone else help. I really am just guessing at this topic.

I didn't disable it, I just never used it.
I did open it just now and tried to use the assistant with it and it didn't crash immediately. You might be on to something.
Maybe I am missing something though, if it was a browser based issue, why would that impact my ability to open say Spotify or "check the weather".
Maybe it's some other Google system/service I am after breaking?

I use Duck Duck Go browser.
I have tried the Brave browser a few months back for a short time.
Side note; I use Brave browser on my pc, because edge gives me trouble with networking for my smarthome devices and nas.
I am also having this issue after rooting and modding a few things. Reverted the changes but I am still having the issue. Updating Google App and downloading Google Assistant doesn't seem to do the trick either. Anyone with some insight into the issue know what's going on?
quick update - I installed Alexa to see if that would work, and it too doesn't appear to like me
Starting to think its a service based issue instead of a particular app.
Anybody who has guidance please chime in
Are you completely stock, no custom rom, kernel, Magisk mods?
Alexa will increase your four letter vocabulary to a new level.
Do you have the assistant set to more than 1 language? For me having the assistant set to English and dutch causes it to constantly.
I figured out for me it was dozing google play services
so, update on this. Firstly, I only have it using the one language.
Secondly, I got an update yesterday for the google app from the playstore and it appears to have fixed whatever the problem was!
