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..
I have a GS3 running a custom 4.1.2 ROM called BoneStock. I just got the SW2 and after charging the watch turned NFC on and followed the instructions in the manual (downloaded the SmartWatch app, downloaded SmartConnect, touched the back of the phone to the back of the watch), which started the download of the SW to the watch. Everything seemed good.
To start getting notifications I downloaded WatchIt and it installed on the watch as well. All continued to seem good. I then sent myself a text from my wife's phone to my phone and after a second the message popped up on my watch. Things seem really good at this point.
Things immediately went bad though... my phone seemed to reboot, and then the touch screen seems to be locked, as I can't swipe to get past the lock screen. The screen occasionally turns itself on. The lit icons (back button, and menu button) lights up. I get notifications on the notification line at the top of the phone. There is a white hand on the notification bar (I believe its the Accessibility icon).
I have tried rebooting my phone. I have tried pulling the battery. Neither has helped. I have turned the watch off, hoping to free up the phone. That didn't help. I tried going into recovery and rebooting the phone from there. Didn't help. Hard to believe the very stock custom ROM is the cause of this, but open to any suggestions and hoping someone has faced and overcome a similar problem. Hoping I don't need to replace my phone, also hoping I don't need to return my watch.
UPDATE: I was able to get my phone up and running by getting into Recovery (TWRP), doing a wipe that brought my phone back to the original state.I will have to start over and try again to pair the watch and phone, and get it to catch notifications... this time without killing my phone.
Anyone have any thoughts to why my phone and watch didn't play nicely together?
(1) Is it due to the custom ROM?
(2) Did I make some major mistake when I paired the phone and watch (using NFC)? Should I try using bluetooth?
(3) Did I make a mistake setting WatchIt as my notification SW?
Any help would be much appreciated. I bought the SW2 at Best Buy and they have a 15 day return period, so any advice and guidance over the next few days would be much appreciated!

Newer update... I started over, this time using Bluetooth instead of NFC, and using the Sony messaging notification for texts instead of WatchIt. While I accidentally found the distance between phone and watch wasn't as far as I had thought, the watch picked up the texts and almost immediately if close to the phone. So good so far. My next need... native email.
I knew the SW2 only worked natively with Sony phones so I switched to K9 on my phone and downloaded K9 For Smartwatch for the watch. I didn't get any notifications appear on the watch. I will try again this AM, but am I missing a step or extension or setting that enables the watch notifications?
I also downloaded the Sony callhandling extension but didn't have time to test that, but again, I am wondering if I missed a step or setting with that?
Lastly, if I do try to use WatchIt again, is there a correct step by step process, like granting accessibility, or setting it up that only specific apps or processes send notifications, or anything else that will avoid freeing up my phone?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cant really help with custom roms, but I have android 4.1.2 aswell and watchit interacts with some other functions wierdly. Did you accept the watchit in Easy accessibility settings? It must be turned on. And i recommend to let watchit only notify with the apps you really want. Otherwise it will notify all time like "text was copied to clipboard" etc.
What is your email application? Gmail smart extension works fine with gmail (obviously). But after you have downloaded the gmail-app, you also need to add the adress for it by clicking the installed app from sw2 control center from the phone. Probably same with K9?

Thanks for the response. And yes, the GMail extension has a checkbox (checked) for my gmail address.
I switched from the stock email on my Android phone to K9 Email client since I saw it had a Smartwatch app (extension?) that I downloaded from the Play Store. But it doesn't have a similar checkbox that you can check from you can check accessible from the SW2 control center. I did read that the K9 for Smartwatch only reads notifications from the Unified Inbox and to make sure that the "Hide Special Accounts - Hide the Unified inbox" setting under Display is not checked... confirmed it is not. I also ran across a setting in K9 under Interaction that says "start in Unified Inbox" hoping checking that setting may help. But so far, no email notifications.
I may need to brave trying Watchit again. This time trying to not accept all notifications but instead only choosing K9 email notifications. But very interested in any other suggestions and advice, especially from anyone that is using K9 as their email client.

I dont know k9, but i didnt get the stock email app (icon: envelope with @-sign) working with sw2 neither with watchit. Watchit only notified me when i was sending a message, but never notified received messages. So I had to start using gmail-app instead of that stock app (envelope with @ sign). Watchit also interacted with the stock app, and the stock app started to talk back to me when deleting messages.
If you use gmail, why not just using the gmail-app and that extension for sw2 instead of using the stock email app?

Dang, tried WatchIt again, and tried using K9 and then switching back to the stock email app. Neither seems to push notifications or WatchIt doesn't seem to catch the notifications. And then the phone froze again.
Do people using WatchIt see a white hand in their notifications bar on their phone. One shows up on mine, and when you pull down notifications it leads you to Accessibility > Talkback (even though Talkback is not checked and WatchIt - JB is checked ).
I am getting tired of having to restore from Recovery and rebuilding my phone. But not catching emails on the watch is a key use case for me... without it, I am returning the SW2.
I may try bringing it in to Best Buy and seeing if someone there can solve this. But I know folks on XDA are smarter than the BB people... so any and all help and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Seems like there has to be a way to see email notifications (POP3 via Comcast). Without it, the watch is less useful to me. I do have a GMail account and the GMail notifications work great (very useful since I use Google visual voicemail). But most of my email use is the Comcast account. Without being able to see those, I will look at Pebble, or even return altogether and wait.
I have the default email app working with watching. I have email and exchange services enabled. Not sure if that'd work for pop3 mail though as I don't have an account to test with.

Watchit
- no i dont see any hand on my phone (maybe it's something to do with the custom rom?)
- there is problem with Watchit and talkback. I think it's more android related than app related bug. My phone started sometimes talk back to me, but I got rid of it on this way: when watchit was activated in Easy accessibility, then I went to settings -> application -> all apps -> google text-to-speech and cleared data. It may still interact with samsung processes i think, because if I use stock email app (that one which has envelope icon and @-sign) my phone keep talking me back. I dont use anymore stock email app. I didn't get it to notify me about coming emails.
- right now im only using watchit to notify me about skype and sms forwarding.
Like I said before, if you use gmail, don't use stock email app (that one which has envelope icon with @sigN). Instead of it, use the other one "gmail-app" and it works great even withouth watchit or k9. With gmail you don't need k9/watchit because the gmail smart extension works fine. If you are using some other mail than gmail, then wait and see others to give their instructions. Just don't install the watchit anymore if it causing huge problems.

When you say "default email app", do you mean that one with envelope icon and @-sign? How did you get it to work? I have tried days with watchit but no.. Only notification I get, it is when sending a message and my watch notifies me "sending" ... "sent"

Thanks again. I will give up on Watchit. Is there a different Notifications app/extension that works almost as well as Watchit? I did see Augmented and while the cost really isn't an issue it sure looks complicated and doesn't have a good look (someone else described it as causing "eye cancer"). But willing togive his free trial a shot. But are their any others... eg Notification Pro, or eNotifier, or ?
If there was a way to have my Comcast email appear in my Gmail inbox I'd go that route. Or if I could get K9 to work, since it actually consolidates other email including Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

So you are rooted... that is helpful info, thanks. On which phone? I have been really happy with BoneStock and waiting to see if the dev offers a 4.3 version. Though also tempted by some of the newer 4.4 KitKat ROMs.
Hmm... a glimmer of hope. It appears you can send POP3 email to Gmail:

Samsung adds a lot of their features by hooking into the accessibility settings, especially prior to 4.3. It messes with other apps that use the accessibility. Your best bet is to use a 4.3+ based rom so you can use the notification access setting. If you really don't want to do that then you can try Wristin which is similar to WatchIt, but it will probably not work right either.

Thanks for the response. The good news is some devs just appear to have cracked the Samsung/Verizon 4.3 OTA update and a first rooted unlocked ROM has appeared. Hopefully I will be able to at least move up from my stable 4.1.2 to 4.3. In the mean time I will try having my email all come in through Gmail. And research notification access services in the different phones and OSes.
btw, where did you see Wristin? can't seem to find any info on it/them...

There are a few people complaining of seemingly random reboots, myself included.
I have bell stock, unlocked, unrooted.
It started to happen at almost my second month mark with this device, while listening to Spotify or Tapatalk browsing or simply just idle, just noticing the bright startup screen all of a sudden. This reboot occurred once or twice daily.
I repaired the phone using the Sony pc companion, I also restored all of my settings and most of the apps.
No undesired reboot for almost 2 weeks, until moments ago, listening to google music thru Bluetooth (which I do most of the time anyways.)
I have kept a quite small number of apps while waiting to see what triggers the reboot, nothing you'd consider risky, I'd mention Nova launcher, aquamail and tasker. I haven't install yet greenify, lux, call recording app or the like.
What I did do lately (yesterday and the days before), I uninstalled or disabled some of the bloat, nothing of importance I think. Here's the complete list of disabled apps.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Honestly, not used to these reboots, while I've seen some in the past, they would be pretty rare, on rooted and custom roms.
Is this a common occurrence among the z5 folks? Any idea what triggers it? It looks like being soft related, but have no idea really, perhaps someone more knowledgeable attempts to address it?

Never happened to mine, although more than 200 apps installed. I would suggest do a factory reset using PC Companion...
Xperia Z5 E6653
Never had a reboot here.
Can you check in diagnostic if there is an app acting weird?
I might enable back all app and check if the reboot persist or remove tasker and try.
One more thing u can do ia trying ur phone in safe mode.

There was no application information in diagnostic pages, however it asked me to send app usage data to Sony which I did. I assume it might help when this happens next time.
I reenabled a few apps and will see what happens next.
My last factory reset happened precisely 9 days ago, according to same diagnostics. I have counted the user apps, 48 apps in total, I could remove maybe half of them without any remorse

No reboot on mine either if I'm honest.

no reboot here aswell...using it for 3 months now.
No undesired reboots also.
I see. I was under the impression that this was a more common occurrence. My bad.
Will probably attempt another factory reset if can't fix otherwise.
Until then, please ignore this thread.

I actually have had random reboots. I've also had moments where the screen refuses to wake up properly. It'll switch on but stay black. It hasn't happened in a long time, though.

I've had a few on my first unit.
Did the screen turn fuzzy like a snow storm on an old TV? (I don't know how to describe it, u know what I mean)
I got mine replaced because of faulty camera lens and display, now I haven't had one single reboot (other then the reboots I requested myself obviously)
I get some (when overheated or sometimes while switching from cellular to WiFi or WiFi to cellular).
Not to bad 90% of the time, though supper annoying when it happens while listening to music/podcasts.

I wouldn't mind a random reboot once in awhile. It is advised to reboot it yourself once a week anyway.
When it started to happen here it was kinda annoying, at least daily. It mostly occurred while listening to music via Spotify, but I also had it reboot while chatting in hangouts and once while talking to a bell agent..
So yeah, I'm trying to prevent the daily occurrence to happen and so far seems to have worked. After the steps I mentioned yesterday, no reboots so far and I went through pretty much everything I do with my phone.

I saw my phone rebooting once when I put it in pocket, I do not think it caused by overheating. I thought maybe I accidentally hit power button.
But thing went strange when it did not recognize wifi. I found it lost every wifi password spots.
Every other apps still are fine (I do not any problem except wifi problem). My phone is E6653 with newest .200 firmware.
I think I just encounter once (but very serious), and I am not sure whether it reboots any more times when I do not know.
on z5 , random reboots are related to xposed. if you install xposed , you will get them

Not entirely true. Yes, this can happen but I haven't event unlocked my BL, let alone rooted and flashed Xposed; yet I've still have reboots.

I very much suspect the random reboots to be related to disabling one or several apps shipped with this device.
I am trying to see if it's easy to spot the first one that will cause the reboot by disabling one at a time and waiting for eventual reboot.
Probably isn't too worthwhile since next big update is around the corner and hopefully fixed by then, I was thinking if somebody else might join the search for the offending app? It can only help, I think, trying to reproduce the issue and signal it to sony devs, just in case they don't know about it yet.
So some means to investigate this are:
A) disable one app at a time, manual reboot for good measure and wait ~ 24 hrs; if reboot doesn't occur continue with disabling the next app
or B) disable a bunch of apps, see if the reboot occurs on your device.
We are only interested in those apps sony decided to be install in system account: Album, File Commander, Music, Privilege Plus, PS stuff, Video, What's new, Xperia Lounge, etc
If you can reproduce the issue, report back with the apps disabled and your firmware version. I will try to put together the results and see if we figure a pattern or simply send the data to sony.
rock on!
Try not disabling sony account manager and fb things.

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.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
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

Samsung+ forum maybe they could help
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.
Thanks.

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.
Resolution to "Device Health Keeps Stopping"?
Did you find a resolution to this problem? If so, what action was taken?
Thank you

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.
Hi. So ever since i got the poco x3, my phone has been feeling uncomfortably hot. Its warm to the touch when unused and uncomfortably HOT with light tasks.
Upon delving deeper saw that the Google Contacts Storage process (part of Android Core Apps) is taking most of the battery. Thus resulting in heating up and getting an SOT of less than 5 hours. I have about 9000 contacts in my google accounts (7000 + 2000 in seperate accounts).
Ive tried everything and am unable to solve the issue.
1) Tried clearing cache and data and re synced all my contacts. Didnt solve.
2) Tried using a third party dialer and contacts app. Didnt solve.
3) Tried dividing those 7000 contacts in 3 seperate accounts. Didnt solve.
4) I have tried to remove all battery optimizations from the contact sync processes and phone processes. Didnt resolve.
5) Factory reseting from recovery. Didnt solve.
Ive been using the OnePlus 6 for 2 years before this and Relame 6 for a few months before this and never faced this issue despite having so many contacts.
Im running 12.0.3. Global Rom.
What can I possibly do to resolve this? getting rid of those contacts is not an option.
Also, secondly, my Google Backup is broken. No matter what I do its stuck at waiting to backup. I used adb to trigger it and it does back up but only once. Next day it gets stuck again. Any ideas for that?

I used ADB to make the google drive backup available and after a restart this option became permanent available to me in settings. I did it about 1 week ago and I just check it out and is still available.

Hi. Thanks for the response. My main issue is actually the heating+battery drain. Im traveling this week and it is going to be a pain! I can live with manually backing up. Do you have any suggestions for the heating? Seems like call log backup/restore is also consuming battery since I've force stopped contact and phone app and started using another thrid party dialer app.

hm, seems to me that this is miui12 issue, since your older phones didn't have that and it was working... I'm wildly guessing here, but you could try two things:
1. disable synchronization - it's possible that miui12 is trying to sync that many contacts and for whatever reason its cpu/resource consuming, or failing silently and trying again, and again...
2. disable miui12 optimizations in developer menu
and see if any of this help... don't forget to reboot your phone after any change you made and let it settle for a while...

Hi. I've tried both these options. Disabling sync results in the call log/backup eating up that share of battery.
Miui optimizations are off for all contact and phone related apps. First thing i did. ?

ok, but i mean disable miui12 optimizations globally (there is one switch for it in developer settings) not only for certain apps... Did you by any chance disabled or uninstalled some bloatware from Xiaomi? Probably not, but uninstalling some part of system apps could also be responsible for this behavior...
Or you can unlock your bootloader and flash some pure Android ROM and see if that helps... I was only able to cope with MIUI12 for two weeks and that was it for me... I am now on NitrogenOS and couldn't be happier... no more Miui schizophrenia for me, thank you very much...

Waiting for the bootloader to be unlocked. Applied for it. Is the Nitrogen OS stable? My custom rom experimenting days got over ever since I shifted to OOS. Would like to stick with one fully working stable rom.

well, it's still beta, but I can't tell bad word about it, if you go for NitrogenOS, you'll get responsive and fast dev, who's get things done faster that you can think of, excellent battery life, stable (I didn't have single random reboot), for me everything just works, and what is not is fixed within 24-48 hours, I am also talking about A10, since dev is currently working on A11 (it's flashable, but considered alpha)... also NitrogenOS is only custom ROM where you can choose which gapps you need to be flashed, all other ROMs have preinstalled gapps, but if you prefer that ... test this or that, only you can tell if it fits to your needs...

Last time I had such an issue, one or two of my contacts had characters in one of the fields Google very much didn't like, so could be a good way to check that as well.
