[Q] S4 keeps giving me text alert "New Message" but no message.. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Argg. Verizon S4, keeps telling me that I have a new message (Messaging app, sms), dated 3-24-2013. I click it, and it opens a blank New Message page to type a new text. Never goes away, comes right back after rebooting, or if I clear it, after a few minutes. The text app icon always shows a "1" as if I have a new message waiting.
Any idea how to solve this? I don't have any drafts, and I cleared the messaging cache.

Blank message from Anonymous sender after MMS

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.
happens in miui on go sms too

No SMS over 160 characters?

Have any of you been able to have your note2 send a text MSG larger than 160 characters. I can't. Nor do I see an option to fix. Big text messages just fail to send.
In my other phones the MSG would simply be broken up and sent as two, or three separate 160 character messages.
Called Verizon rep., they say google is aware of the issue and a fix would included in next update. Simple work arounds, use different messaging app or limit text to under 160 characters.
Just wondering if others are experiencing this, is it an issue on other note variants?
I have had no problem on mine sending texts over 160 characters. It does split it in to seperate texts and the character amount counts backwards with a slash and the number of texts it will send. So if I send 181 character text it will show like this 139/2. Meaning I have 139 characters left until it switches to the third message. I use the stock messeging app. I hate to say try a hard reset and see if that clears the issue. Not sure why you can only send one text at a time. I am rooted stock with the all app multi window working. And I have the vzw note 2 so your issue sounds strange to me.
I'm rooted as well. Funny enough it's working now. It didn't work this morning. Yes I had good signal strength, strange
I tested again. If a SMS message with more than 160 characters does go thru for me, the person receiving the message recieves the 2nd half first.
Is this just my note2.

[Q] Messaging and Contacts

Hello:
New to Android and the GN2. I'm using the basic Messaging and Contacts apps. A somewhat annoying issue has come up.
I start a SMS message thread using info from Contacts. At some point after the exchange of a few messages, the person's name disappears and only their phone number is in the Messaging display. It happens for all messaging threads.
All the messages are to people in Contacts and I can restart the phone and the names then reappear. Then after a few more message exchanges, the names disappear.
Am I missing something basic here?
Thanks,
Ron
Weird. I dont know crap but if it happened to me I would turn "direct call" off under the motion settings and/or clear the "messages" data under settings> apps> all apps> clear data

4.1.2 update questions, messaging changes

I don't have a note 2 right now, but probably will soon. I have a couple of questions about the recent update. When I had the note 2 a few months back, I had something that bothered me about messaging that I wanted to find out was changed or not.
When receiving a picture message with text included in the same message, does it still show a slide show or does it now allow you to view the photo without saving it and going to the gallery to see it?
When sending and receiving group text messages, does it allow you to view all sent and received messages from everyone included in the group within the same thread, or do the messages come in sorted under the individual contact's name even if they're in your group message?

It still appears as a slideshow, it did that on my S3 and RAZR MAXX as well.
As for the group messaging I want to say it all shows up under one tab together but I may be wrong as I have only use it once.
Why is this not posted in Q&A?

I've recently noticed the slide-show thing too. Is there another messaging thingy we can install to get rid of that annoying problem? I saw that someone posted the ASOP one - does that fix this ??

Getting an ACK back from the phone in case user does not have WhatsApp installed?

Hi we want to send delivery status messages to users using whatsapp, but, if the user does not have whatsapp installed then we want to know so that we can send a simple SMS message.
How can we get the info back to make that decision?
Thanks in advance
Simon
