Anyone know what this is? Kinda has me scared...(virus? Malware?) - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Just randomly appeared. What makes me concerned is how there is no app name or option to view the sent data.

Not sure if you want to do this or not but usually when you hit Send Email, it pulls up a bug report through your Gmail account and you can send it from there. Inside there, you'll be able to see where that email is going and do some Googling.
There are always LBE, Avast,...that have firewalls and SMS/MMS blocks. If it didn't say SMS in the screen shot, then I wouldn't be too concerned. But it does and that means that you are probably constantly transmitting somehow. But to where............ Find that app that is sending SMS back to the Mothership and uninstall it ASAP.

Thanks woodrube. I clicked the "send email" button and NOTHING happened. ( I did it with all radio communications off ie airplane mode just to be safe) and since nothing at all happened... i fear. So i just rebooted the device hoping it wiped out any outstanding task something had to do. I did open systemTuner and couldnt find anything that looked suspicious under the task manager. If it comes up again after my reboot im hard reseting.. i dont care Thanks for the recommendation. wonder if anyone else will post with this same notification thingy. Oh thats also whats weird, it showed up in my notification bar and clicking it brings up that popup.

Sent SMS keeps resending, can't delete!

The title says it all really. And the woman that I sent the text to originally is getting really peed off!
Any suggestions on how to get at the offending text & actually delete it from the Outbox? It's constantly there!
I had this happen to me once. I had to HR the phone to get it to clear. Nothing, not even a SR would clear it.
Dave
I had the same problem haha and the girl was getting pissed, hard reset was all I could find to fix it
Dang! What about software to delete from PC?
I used to have this problem when i had a wizard... what was happening was SPB Pocket Plus would terminate the messaging application, then when i would open it back up to write a message to someone it would resend a couple of my previous messages.
That was resolved by adding the messaging app to be excluded from SPB Pocket +'s feature to shut down apps upon pressing the close button. I think now SPB has realized this, among many other task manager apps, and u don't need to add the messaging app to a 'safe list' because i haven't had to do it forever.
Then it happened to me later but that was a problem with the network.
i'd go ahead and do the hard reset... :S

Did the msg say "I will stalk you"?
It says "Will do"....... hope the other 'alf doesn't see it & draw her own conclusions!

Odd. New mail indicated. Can't see it.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.
Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?
Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.
I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps

[Q] Handcent

So ive seen handcent all over the fourm and people talking about how great it is. So i downloaded it and i admit its amazing. The only problem ive run into is that when i get a message is shows up in handcent and the stock text program. How do i disable that so my phone only uses handcent?
In the stock messaging app, you need to go into settings (when it's open hit "menu" and then "settings") and turn off the notifications for receiving a message. Back out of it, and you should be good-to-go. I personally turned off all notifications in the stock app.

Much appreciated I though that there might be a way to totally disable the stock program because they will still pile up in there wont they?
Yea, the messages will still be in the stock one. The way I understand it though, all the messages come into/out of a single spot. The messaging programs (Handcent, the stock one, etc.) just look in that area to let you text. So you can just remove the stock one from being linked on one of your home pages, and then you never have to see it again. There might be a way to remove that program itself, but I don't know it. It doesn't bother me though since I just don't ever open it and instead use Handcent.
You could always uninstall it via adb if you are rooted. Search "how to remove bloatware (or unwanted apps)" or some variant.

Just don't delete it! LOL! Trust me! That and don't delete Facebook out off the phone either. Those were BIIIIIGGGG mistakes. LOL! I won't ever do that again. Good thing I do nandroid back ups before I try experimenting with removing stuff.
Anyone having touble with Hancent opening since 2.2? I have at least a 30 second lag when I launch, almost like a memory full issue.
I have the stock notifications off and am not rooted.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
jfk
freeze it thru titanium backup like i did! u can defrost it any time!
I've tried Handcent a few times and it seems OK but has a fatal flaw. My wife and I use txt-to-email and back. She send my a txt on vtxt.com and I reply through my SMS service straight to her email address which pops up on her Blackberry. Handcent won't sent messages to email addresses.

[Q] Keeps asking to link contact info

Hey,..
You know the icon you get in your notification bar when the phone found a link between facebook contacts and phone contacts and whatsapp contacts ect.,
Then you click link it or dismiss.
I like this and works well.
but the last couple of day its been failing and annoying me.
there are 4 contacts its keep asking me to link.
over and over again.
doesnt matter if i link or dismiss.
i went tot the user in my phone list and linked them, seems to be good.
and then some time later it asks me again..
everytime the same 4.
Anyone else have this or know what this might be?
Its really really really annoying!
Thanx m8's!
On my phone I notice it appears briefly then goes away again a second later, like it's loading the info. It's never really bothered me though.
Have you tried deleting the 4 contacts and then adding them again?
I had the same problem for weeks...I had o2 listed in my contacts with various numbers (customer services, top up, overseas cs etc etc)
bugged me so much as no matter what i did, dismiss or request link it would keep coming back listing the same contact multiple times...ended up deleting the contact and not replacing ...didnt happen again ..
same here... whatsapp repetatively notifies me of contact links although they are already linked and there - drives me nuts. what should I delete? the contact on the phone or the contact on whatsapp ??!?

Text message already filled in

I have been having this problem for quite some time now, the problem is that when I try to text a few of my friends, the text entry box is already filled in with thee text from a text message I was going to send but never did. This is very annoying and I NEED it to stop, anyone else have this problem? If my description isn't clear I'll try to illustrate it more clearly.
Say I go to send a text to my buddy, J. I start typing in the entry box "blah blah blah. blahhhblahhblahh." However, i do not send the text, instead I hit the back button (probably had to check something before i finished the text, and never ended up sending it to him.) Now every time I goto text J, the text entry box is always already filled in with "blah blah blah. blahhhblahhblahh." I have to delete the text and then start typing what i wanted to. I've tried just sending the "blah blah blah. blahhhblahhblahh." when it is auto filled in, however, it keeps reappearing. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
You have to backspace delete the entire unsent message contents before backing out of the unsent message or it will show up each time until you do.

well I backpace out of it now and then back out but the "blah blah blah. blahhhblahhblahh." still comes up. Any ideas on how to fix that?

I had this exact problem when I first got my incredible2. Your phone has saved that text message you backed out of as a draft. Try hitting the menu key on your phone when visiting your messages. There should be a tab to hit caked " drafts". Hit that and you should be able to delete them. It's been awhile but that's what your issue is. Maybe someone else could chime in with things exact steps

Just did what you said, had a bunch of drafts of the undesired text. Deleted them all, problem still exists...any other suggestions?

had the same problem and was SUPER annoyed. I think its just a dumb bug in the default Messaging app. I switched to GO SMS Pro (free in the market) and haven't looked back. Way better than the default, in my opinion
I've been using TextSecure for some time now and haven't seen this problem. Keeps your messages encrypted as well so you can keep snoopers out.

Try restarting your phone after you do that. It seems to help, at least sometimes. Last time I had that problem it did.

Im with pioneer. Go sms is way better for texting and other messaging. I would still want to find the problem though
Sent 2 u via Incredible 2
i had the same issue. I deleted all drafts, then restarted. But I've since moved on to Go SMS.
.
all you have to do is clear cache of "messaging" app in android management and close the app and restart it. It will be fixed
Such a pain in the ass...
I hate the way HTC implemented this.
