New message from unknown - Galaxy Tab General

I turned the option on in messaging to have it speak the name of the person sending you an SMS. I since turned it off, but now every now & then the tab keeps announcing "New message from Unknown" even if there's nothing being received whatsoever.
Any ideas?
I'm running Rotohammers JME firmware.

Annoying notification

I have a notification message telling me that I have a voicemail on my MDAPRO and it just wont go away! I have checked my voicemail on numerous occassions and ther eare no messages.
I have re-applied the OS and it just keeps coming back to haunt me.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

I remember reading a similar problem you had before. Did you recently transfer and use your SIM on another phone?
The other person used his or her SIM on another phone when he/she got the message, but transferred the SIM on his/her Universal, creating the same notification you now are experiencing.
The solution according to him/her was to put the SIM back to the phone where you originally received the voicemail message and delete it from there. Once that you are sure there are no more messages, then put the SIM back to your Universal.
I get this sometimes with Orange UK.
Just call your phone provider and ask them to clear the notification from their end.
It basically happens when you delete your last message in your voicemail and you lose reception in between the time you finish clearing your voicemail and your service provider sending the voicemail indicator clearing flag.
The problem I usually get is if I am on international roaming I sometimes dont even get the flag coming up so messages build up (even when I come back to the UK) and only know about it when someone complains that I havent called them back after they left me a message.
Maybe this is just a problem with Orange UK ... not sure
It's not a problem with O2, they don't use the voicemail notification system, they just send a text!

SMS Weirdness

I'm in the UK on O2 and today I sent some SMS and just noticed the last few were stuck at "Sending" and had been that way for hours. I deleted them and tried again. Same problem, regardless of the recipient. So I toggled Airplane mode on/off. Still no luck. So I rebooted. Once the phone came up I got two notifications along the lines of "Unable to send message". I can now send OK.
Now perhaps this was my network playing up but I'd been receiving SMS fine - and making calls - all day. I've never seen this behaviour before and the fact a reboot cleared it makes me wonder if it's a bug with the messaging app.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Until today I'df been happily sending and receiving SMS with no issues since I got my N4 last Thursday.

I'm on AT&T here in the states and I send hundreds of texts a day and have not run into this problem at all. I had one delay with an MMS that sent about an hour after I had initially sent it but other than that, smooth sailing.

I ran into the same problem today. Rebooting your phone should get it back working. If not, enter your phone settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Tap on Phone information and scroll down to SMSC:
Click on the Refresh button. You should see a number that looks like this: "+1206XXXX..."
This number is carrier specific.
Me too

Me too. Rebooting and updating smsc didn't help. I tried to undo my actions to the extent I could remember but to no avail. For instance, I had disabled various inbuilt services viz. Pinyin, Korean keyboard, cell broadcasting, exchange, email etc. Re-enabled. Zuk. I had uninstalled Contacts+, reinstalled. Again, nada.
But Contacts+ is able to send normal smss. That is definitely intriguing and I would love to figure it out. Can someone assist?

[N9005] Samsung Note 3 LTE - Calls from unsaved numbers causes Contacts Storage error

I searched quite a lot in this forum and elsewhere to have none of the suggestions to work. Moreover, this error is specifically caused by calls from unknown numbers and I couldn't find such an error to be reported anywhere.
Problem started after rooting the Note 3 Lte version [N9005XXUGB0D3]. Everything seems fine except that a call from an unknown/unsaved number causes the 'Unfortunately, contacts storage has stopped" error appears and the dialog box pops up four times. Worst is, if the call is received from an unsaved number when the screen is off, the dialog box pops up in the background making it impossible to respond to the call or the diaglog box itself because the screen turns unresponsive. Even the back button won't work but only the OK. I have to wait till i miss the call, and the dialog box is still there, after the incomign call screen ends. No point to save all new numbers as it is practically impossible, but to have all new number to display a name like 'unknown' might solve it, not sure though, and I do not know how to do that either.
Tried clearing contacts' cache, data, disabling google+, deleting all device contacts and google contactsl, rebooting after each trial attempts.
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.
Same problem here.
I'll try re-flashing an original ROM if don't find an answer by tonight.
=/
Edit: cleaned the Contacts App Data and Cache as a workaround, didn't have problem until now

Samsung Gear S2 Classic "Unknown" notification

Hello,
Since two days ago i keep receiving a random "unknown" notification on my gear s2. When i choose to show it on the phone, it gives me an error "failed". The icon of the notification is like a message (sms) and the sender is "unknown". The notification appears at random times and has no connection (that i noticed) with actual notifications. I have tried the factory recet on my gear but with no success in removing it. I tried the support of Samsung, but they told me to have it physically examined. The examination will show nothing is wrong (as here where i live, they do not do a good job). The gear and app are both updated to the latest version and nothing has changed before i started to receive the notification.
Update: the notification can be reproduced after locking the phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3) or while having any event, with screen on (i.e. phone call initiation, sending messages or other)

Message fails

Hi I'm getting message failed on a regular basis,I sometimes get the message to go through but on other occasions it fails anybody else get this problem?I'm using mi 9t global stable thanks...
I have noticed the same issue today, messages were failing, had to restart the phone that fixed it temporarily I guess.
PS: I am on latest Global version (10.3.11)
I still get it after reboot but I noticed the 0 was missing from the start of the phone number so I manually typed the number and now it seems to be working....it's strange because the number is full in the contact details and I can phone straight from contacts but not text as it just fails with certain contacts ...
Same issue, I fixed it when I put another SIM card from different company but I cannot activate it with my primary SIM
This issue is getting worst, upon sending a text to someone I receive failure message after a while but regardless of failure, receipient receives multiple duplicate texts.
This needs to be fixed have also tried google messaging app and issue seems to be the same.
If someone come across a fix then please do share here. This is annoying as whenever i send out a text to someone they receive it a million times at least
I might of fixed the issue,in the contacts number at the top Of the message screen the 0 is missing so if I send a text it fails but if I go to contacts directly and send a text it adds the 0 and message goes through....
Seems like i have found the issue, its related to the network. Whenever i select 4G/ LTE as preferred network, i face the above described issue. SMS gets stuck at "Sending" and eventually fails resulting in multiple texts towards the receiving party. However, when i change the network to 3G or 2G, everything seems to work normally.
Not sure what to do in this case. Looking forward to suggestions.
I have exact same issue Got no idea how to fix.
