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)

Hi,
A colleague of mine just bought a Desire HD but is running into some trouble after installing some golf GPS software yesterday. I'm not sure which ones he uses, but he told me his gps software crashed, and he had to reboot his phone because the 'sync' icon was stuck in the status bar.
After the reboot, all received and sent sms'es on his phone were resent to the original recepients.
When he tried to call me from the number in his contact list to explain the problem, the phone dialed a completely different number?
Another thing he showed me already a few days ago: every phone call he makes or receives, automatically gets an entry in his contact list (with the SIM card icon). No idea how this happens?
I suspect only a hard reset might solve these problems? Or does anyone else here have any idea what's causing this?
Firstly you don't really need to install any GPS software, htc's own software comes preinstalled.
& i've had the resending messages problem a few times but after the latest OTA update it hasn't happened at all
Recently, my Galaxy S5 will refuse to send a SMS unless I reboot the phone, this happens at least once/twice a day.
The text message will constantly display the round spinning sending icon, then a notification will say text failed to send (resending doesn't work)
S5 is on Three, not rooted - Three sent a SMS to me a few weeks ago addressing this issue and that simply updating the phone would resolve it... except my phone was already up to date.
Is this an issue with my phone or should I contact Three about this? - (try and demand an early upgrade with 8 months left lol)
Many thanks
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

I want to start off by saying I have 1 or 2 group messages that go on throughout the whole day, every day. When I first got the Verizon S7 edge, I had zero issues for the first three days. All of the sudden, at least once a day, there is an issue receiving and sending group messages. I can't link it to anything specific besides it happening most when the group chat is most active. 11 people in the chat are sending multiple messages at a time and then I'll send a message at the same time and i realize mine is not sending and then I stop receiving everyone else's messages. If I go to the individual participants chat in my texting app, there will be a bunch of messages that are downloading. This has happened to me in the past with other phones, but its usually linked to having bad service at a certain time and simply turning mobile data on and off will fix the issue. I cant link it to anything this time, it happens randomly. It doesn't matter where I am, if I have 1 bar or 4 bars, if wifi is on/off, bluetooth is on/off. The messages eventually start coming in, but I dont know what causes that to happen either. I could restart the phone 4 times before it helps. The only thing I can say is it happens most often when the group chat is most active. I'll also mention that this wasn't an issue in the first 3-5 days of using the phone. Below are the steps I've already taken to try and resolve the issue.
1. Wifi on/off
2. Mobile data on/off
3. Restarting the phone
4. Tried 4 different texting apps - Hangouts, google messenger, samsung messenger, verizon messenger
5. Factory reset
6. New SIM card
7. Swapped the phone out for a brand new one. Issue started again with the new one after 3-5 days.
8. Enabled every app that was disabled
9. Activated/deactivated advanced calling
10. Called Verizon tech support - We replicated the issue and thought it was due to "delete old messages" being turned on in the settings. Tech support thought the phone was trying to delete old messages at the same time I was receiving a bunch of texts and everything would get stuck. Everything seemed fine after changing that, but it happened again a few hours later.
11. I've run out of options
I had the Note 5 before this and had zero issues with that phone and I've never had an Iphone.
Please help
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.
