I can not say that I have. Do you have Sprint on your lock screen?

Yes I do have sprint .....
been getting them after flashing Damages ROM ..but I'm on pancake now and get them..

I've been experiencing this too. I get daily texts from The Weather Channel (i know, odd) and I get 2 messages: One from TWC number, and another with the same contents from Hiddenaddresssender.

I never gotten those WTC text messages..
but whenever someone sends me a picture and I download it...it looks like it's downloading, then it shows me the "hiddensenderaddressr" message..
I uninstalled Handcent to see if that's the problem though....

Have you all tried damages rom and then reverted to a previous version?

Well I'm on Pancake ROM and I don't plan on using any 2.1 ROM's until we get one that doesn't mess up our phones..
I just used the stock mms app and it got the same message..
so it's not Handcent...

Used to get it all the time. Either your wifi is on when you're receiving a mms or you have the dreaded mms issue. You could try ##3282# , but most likely you'll need to hard reset.

"has any of you" lolol

Wi-fi never on though, what will ##3282# will do? just a hard reset???

The last build I used I was able to send and receive MMS while connected to wireless... it may have been the Fresh Eris build though.. I thought it was DC but I could be wrong.

##3282# just re-activates your phone. Its not a hard reset. You wont lose anything. Id try that first before a hard reset. In my experience its just a temparary fix though. It will most likely happen again at some point. Does your phone have the htc logo on the back?

yes I have the HTC logo....i don't have one of those "with Google" phone..
by re-activating it ...is that the same thing as doing the PRI Version issue?

No. Its the same process theyre using to fix the data service issue.
1. Open up your Dialer and enter ##3282#
2. You will be asked select either View Mode or Edit Mode, select Edit Mode.
3. When you are asked for a password you must enter your MSL.
4. Select Username then click your Menu Button
5. Click Restore
6. All of the Data Settings for your account will be restored and your phone will reboot.
7. When it turns back on and Sense UI completely loads then a message saying your phone is being activated will appear, the process takes about 3 minutes.
8. After your phone has been reactivated you need to update your Profile and PRL from settings.
If your phone skipped the activation part you may need to call customer support and tell them that your phone is telling you to continue activation.
Thats pretty much it. Your phone will reboot twice and then you can send yourself a mms msg to see if it worked. If not youll need to hard reset. Like I said its a temparary fix. I finally told sprint I was tired of having to hard reset my phone all the time and they sent me a replacement phone with the google brand. No problems since. If you call tech support theyll walk you through the same process after having you pull your battery and send yourself a mms and some other useless trouble shooting procedures.

Just did it...thanks alot amigo...
vamos a haver si eso lo arregla el problema...espero que si!

Rom doesnt matter. It was happening to me even when I was using stock and pretty much every other rom I ever used. Only other thing to do is the hard reset. I researched this issue pretty much since I got my hero last year. Nobody seems to know why. Like I said if you complain enough to Sprint they might replace it for you. Or the official release may fix it. Or maybe damages latest will do the trick. He says hes got it all figured it out...

Looks like I'm going to have to wait for the 2.1 update though..
Damages latest didn't do the trick, flashed it last night and it was the same thing..

[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?

[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?
The message is still in my Samsung Galaxy S2 inbox and contains this:
message size:32kb
expires: 9:04PM, Oct 25
Download
where "Download" is a clickable button and when I click it it changes to "Downloading", then after a few moments it changes back to "Download".
Any idea what it might be?

So you downloaded unknown software from a suspicious number onto your phone because it told you to?
Ummm... Quickly You need to pm me your bank account details and any applicable passwords plus personal identification information. If someone is going to scam you and get all your stuff it should be me, at least im honest about it, plus you have to now cause I asked you to.

Yeah, but nothing happened after, android didn't prompt me to install anything. Is it possible that it installed by itself? And how can such a message arrive to me anyway? Do you think its from an installed app??
My phone is 100% stock and not rooted. What in the heck is this? If its THAT easy to get a security hole, then that makes the market a scary place!

Whats the file name? go to where your phone stores downloads and find out. if nothing is there check running applications. Is anything running that shouldn't have been. can you provide a screenshot of the text message?

I'm shocked that you presses download, not knowing where the message came from. Were you THAT curious?
I hope nothing is going to happen to your device, but in the future, you might want to ask first before pressing anything.
Sorry I couldn't really contribute anything helpful to this thread, but I couldn't resist.

You're Fine
I think you're fine. I just recieved a similar message from 1. I think it was someone 'replying all' to a mass text because a second later that message from 1 disappeared and was replaced by an actual text. PS, I'm not an expert.

You might be right. Turns out my girlfriend sent a mass text and I was on the list. I ended up getting several more that day. None of which would auto download.

highly avoid
I would highly advise to stay away from and advise you to not download any type of text message that comes to you from an unknown phisher or source.

same issue sorta
see i have been getting texts like this myself it started just yesterday when a friend said he would send me a video of something (mms video) and so i never got it but instead a number listed as 1 had sent a message with no subject it was a download. i asked my friend to send again and it went through to his number instead just fine (hes using an iphone) so i just deleted the conversation with the number 1 and moved on but then my girlfriend sent a video to me and the same thing happened. im curious if its an error having to do wth the sending of video or if its something more concerning. (my girlfriend is on android) the whole thing here is taht they where sending me a video and that i got a message that i could download supposedly a video using the number 1 instead of from the person who said they where sending something(its concerning

Well that was rude. Way to be a ****

I've gotten that text message twice on two different phones and my phone auto magically started downloading? My phone is fine after every time but it's just so weird to me my recent message sent to me and then dissapeared

[Q] stolen phone need help

Hi guys.
Please help, my phone was stolen earlier today and my SIM card is removed from the phone.
My gmail accoount is still in use and I have my IMEI number.
Is there a way to find out the phone number of that SIM card that uses my phone, so I can text this someone or try to call it?
have some data on the phone which is very important for my work, can't afford of losing it.
Please help me if there is a way, gmail daschbord also does't show that new number in use.
Please help.

Prevention is better than cure,
Apps like finding your lost phone or clearing your data if stolen are pretty useless, a simple factory reset removes everything.
Some of my friends have auto sync on for dropbox, so any pictures taken gets sync(in the event where the thief snap a duck picture of himself it gets sync to his account).
Basically unless u have a sync app installed, there isnt much hope to repossess the data.
As for the imei, not sure as where i am from it doesnt really matter, if your phone gets stolen, you downgrade to a 3690 until u can save up for a new one.

Thank you Fear. know that prevention is better but I messed up.
hope there is a way to find out that number, just hope that it wont be late.
my work is gone...

There are some of the things you can do-
If you had any remote tracking enabled software in phone use it.antivirus companies like Kaspersky/NOD32 enables device stolen tracking features and allows you to remotely swipe,sms from the stolen phone through online web management.
If your gmail account is in use.use the Gmail account activities for the last login information.you can track based on last logged in IP that who and from where its getting used.launch the police complaint and with phone operator too.the more proofs the faster response.

Something like prey would have been ideal. p r e y p r o j e c t d o t c o m
And you should always backup important information.
Just try to remember this in future. Your phone and all your info are gone, sorry.

An IMEI number is useful if the phone connects to a carrier's network.
I'd contact your carrier if you haven't already.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using Tapatalk

Sorry, forgot to mention before. If you report the IMEI to the police then they can stop it being sold on to second hand shops. Doesn't help your situation though.

first thank you all for the help.
tried with the carrier and the police but no luck. they blow me off both of them.
ploce says to wait, carrier say call the police...
but I wonder, in my gmail account I could see my number, why can't I see another number that's using my phone?

What carrier? Did u backup to drop box or anything? If u have the imei report the device stolen to carrier. At least they can deactivate phone so they can't use it anymore. As for getting ur data back you might have to kiss it good bye.

found a file called smartcall. Does anyone know what it is?

Hi, i have found a file called smartcall on my phone. When you click on it it goes to my Microsoft word documents. I've noticed over the last three or four weeks I've had notifications by e-mail that someone has tryed to get into my Microsoft account. I have no idea how it got on my phone or what its for?? A really strange thing happened to me on the 12th.Jan. Two friends of mine plus my dad were sent text messages of some photos of me that were taken from my CM security which takes snapshots of people trying to get into your phone/tablet etc. Well sometimes I put the code in wrong more than three times and takes a pic of me. Someone has managed to get hold of those pictures and sent them via text. Also there were a couple of map references showing where i live saying I need help!! Can anyone please tell me what's going on here. I have explained to my phone providers that it wasn't me who sent the texts. Even though it showed my mb number it wasn't me as my phone was completely broken. It's all very bizarre and scary.

"Device Health keeps stopping" message popping up?

Hi, I'm currently on the AT&T carrier on Oreo 8.0.0 ( G955USQU2CRC5, latest update ) and a random message pops up randomly saying that "Device Health has stopped" or "Device Health keeps stopping".
The only option is "Close app" and when I hit it, all it does is close the message for it to pop up again randomly.

Anyone else having this problem and/or have a solution?
Could this be part of the 8.0.0 update?
Every time I Google this message, the only thing I find is posts about S Health which I don't think this is.

I'd look through your apps under settings see if you find it select show system apps as well. Delete data if you find it. It's something I would've done.

That's the thing, nothing under apps, even with system apps enabled, shows under "Device Health." The closest thing I have to this is the one for Samsung health and I've already tried to clear cache, delete data, force stop, etc. It doesn't do anything.
I've tried resetting the phone, reflashing the phone, resetting app permissions, and making sure I don't download too many apps, but it always ends with the same result.
I'm starting to think this is an AT&T specific problem or something, so I might try reflashing some other version later.

Try this. Go to device maintenance under settings, then on the top right click what looks like a piece of paper you'll see apps that keeps crashing. Maybe you'll find it there click on it and it should take you to the app information. That is if AT&T phones have it

I have the same issue, have had it about a month now since I got Oreo.
This past weekend I did a factory reset. The issue was gone for about 2 days, now today it's back. I looked in the updates app lists and nothing updated that looks like it would be causing this.
All I really know is this is annoying as hell. Some days I know I click that error off well over 100 times, probably over 200. Most times it pops up you hit it 6-8 times to clear it.
edit - S8 here - Also RC5 version

I have fixed my phone, but it's a bit extensive and maybe not worth it depending on what you do on your phone.
I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255
and used the unlocked firmware and so far, on Oreo, I haven't gotten that message.
I also don't have any bloatware from AT&T so that's also a plus.
Just a thought, though.

So, simply unlocking it and not having ATT apps did the trick?
What about Samsungs apps?
I've rooted in the past but haven't done so recently, I'll definitely look into this.

Samsung apps are installed and they work, just no carrier specific bloatware.
Also I believe that the phone is not actually unlocked, rather it only uses the unlocked firmware.
Just follow the "Carrier Switching" section with the XAA CSC code and then the "Flashing Unlocked Firmware" if you want to do what I did.

Did anyone find a solution for this? My ATT LG Phoenix II is doing the exact same thing and has been for the last couple weeks except it does it every 10 to 15 seconds so the phone is basically useless. I can find no Device Health application on the phone or even one that looks like it might be causing this.

No. I didn't use it for a couple (few?) weeks and the next time I used the phone it still did it, but a LOT less often. The way it is now is just mildly annoying, not making the phone useless like it was. I assume there was an update that made it better but I really don't know what for sure.

Solution found?!
Good afternoon,
*
I believe I discovered a resolution to this issue. I work for a City Government as an IT Specialist in our Mobile Device Support Unit. I handle over 3000+ device for all City employees. We've come across this exact problem about 3 times since Oreo rollout. Our standard device for all employees is the Samsung Galaxy S7. We've attempted a bunch of different things, from wiping the device completely to flashing an older version (Android 6.0) on the device to no avail. Previously we found that once EVERY APP on the device was updated along with the Software, the issue was resolved. However, as of today, I was working on another one of these troubled devices. I updated E_V_E_R_Y_T_H_I_N_G and the pop-up still showed. So, I told the user I would just replace the entire device and Smart Switch his content to the new phone. While I was in the transfer process (already switched the SIM) I noticed the troubled device didn't receive a single pop-up. This got me thinking, so I waited and tested the device some more without the SIM and didn't receive a single pop-up. This led me to believe the issue is likely correlated to Service. I had read on other websites that generally this issue is related to AT&T Samsung devices. Some solutions were to flash a vanilla OS (without bloatware) to cease the annoyance.
*
After reinserting the SIM into the problem phone, I almost immediately received the pop-up.
*
SO! I went diving.
*
I came across a strange setting I hadn't considered / seen / wasted my time to read. It was to turn on and off AT&T Mobile Network Diagnostics. GREAT! If I have this "Device Health" issue and it seems to be tied to a data connection, this setting makes sense! If there is some error with the sending of diagnostics to AT&T then it would only make sense to receive this type of error. What even IS "Device Health?" So once I turned that off and reset the APN I haven't received the pop-up since.
*
I am sure by this point my post is
*
TL;DR
*
Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > and turn OFF "AT&T Mobile network diagnostics"
*
Go to Access Point Names > (3 vertical dots top right corner) > Reset to default
*
Since doing that i haven't seen the pop-up.*
*
Cheers

Did everything except, there's no "AT&T Mobile network diagnostics" to shut off.
Still have the same problem.
