Strange statusbar message - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Yesterday, I noticed this strange statusbar message claiming to be from samsung, asking me to tap on the message to send security information to them? I have never seen this message before, is it legit? Or is it a virus of some sort? Has anyone else had this message just popup out of the blue? I have added a screenshot below to show you the message.

that's true, is not a virus but you can choose not to send anything to them

SMS Notification Issue

When i get a new message or a delivery report the envelop appears on the top banner. If i go to the messages and read or delete the message the notification envelope still stays there. I have to click on the envelope and select delete for it to disappear.
Any setting to get rid of this?

I have no solution, but I have been wondering about this bug too. Only appears when you are in the inbox while a new message arrives, but surely this bug should have been caught and fixed ages ago?
anyone got any ideas on this please

Invisible Unread SMS

Hi, I've been unable to turn up any help on this matter with searches but I wonder if anyone knows a solution.
I received a text this morning and I saw it appear in the notification bar, I also saw who it was from but didn't get to read it before the notification disappeared. I went to my messages and the text is nowhere to be seen in either Handcent or Messaging.
Now when I receive ONE new message my notifications say I have TWO unread and the Handcent widget also shows a 2 but still the mystery message cannot be seen.
I've of course rebooted and also tried this app which simply didn't work but if someone has made an app surely this must be a known bug?!
I could delete the message thread I know but I'd like to read the message first and also simply get to the bottom of this strange error, any ideas?
Mik
Anyone have any ideas on this?
So far the only way I've found to get rid of the invisible unread SMS is to delete every SMS thread. However, if I then restore them from MyBackup for example it comes back.
I'd really like to know how to properly fix this.

SMS Text displays straight away on receipt

Hi sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn’t find it. I have a G2 Touch the problem I have is when I receive an sms text message it displays the message as soon as I get it the background fades out and the message appears in a highlighted window along with the sender. What I want it to do is show there is a message in the notification bar then manually go to messages and open it in there. This is the way it happened when I first got the phone and it then started displaying them on receipt. I don’t have any sms apps installed but I just can’t find a way of stopping this from happening. Thank You in advance.

The "Unknown Address" problem

When I receive a text message from anyone, it will display in the notification bar but when i go to view it, it's telling me Unknown Address and I miss the message and who it was from. Can anyone give some insight on why that happens and how to fix it?
Thanks

how to hide messenger and instagram messages from lock screen etc

Hello I have S8 with reno 13.4 .
I want to ask, how some guys on their phones like Samsung s6 S7 when they receive a message from Instagram and messenger doesn't show the message on the lock screen and doesn't show the name of the sender ? For example my gf when she is with me I don't want her to see if someone send me a message on these two messages and say that's just someone send message. But not who send it, I don't want something like that to appear.
How to prevent that?
I been searching almost all the Google but I can't find something.
Maybe I can't find it cuz I don't know how to describe the problem
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the Messenger app, Notification & Sounds, you have the "Notification Previews" ... turn it off. For Instagram you have multiple options: Settings, Apps, Notifications, Instagram...
You can set this per app.
Just go to settings -> notifications, then tap on an app and set the lockscreen notification to none.
Can't tell you the exact terms, I have a German menu.
