What is the deal with notifications/categories? One name listed in messages? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I never designated this name into the notifications for Messages, and I don't get it. Randomly appearing categories??
Why did this name just appear with its own notifications options? What the hell is going on with this phone/version of Android?
Obviously the marked up, crossed out item is someone's name.

I don't use the Messages app and don't have this problem. However, I did do some research for you and found a post that might help you figure out the issue.

Unknown Text Message Received

I was wondering if anyone has this happening to them.
For the past 2 months I have been receiving unusual text messages whenever I go into my contact list. They come in pairs. First one says it's from 900-080-001087 second one is from 900-080-001089. Both messages contain the following text:
"//MIM:android:25110SY 52 Please Log in again."
The only difference is the "25110SY 52" portion (the "25" and "52" portions are different between the threads). And if you look at each of the messages' threads, the "25" portion increases sequentially with each message.
I went to the "accounts" section in the phone's settings but everything shows that I am still logged in with no problems or errors.
Could this have anything to do with Google's new 2-step increased security measures? I have been using them since they first came out. If so, how can I stop this from happening?

oh yeah... I forgot... I have also been receiving blank text messages from "Unknown" user for the same amount of time as the other weird messages. . Could this be related to those others? And yes... I did not install any new apps before this started happening. So I am at a loss as to finding a solution to this very annoying problem. Any ideas?

Its Morpheus. The Matrix has you. You have until the 25th to find your way into the heart of 52nd Street. There you will follow the white rabbit....

Never experienced this, but I was receiving messages from "Oz mail" whatever that is. They were really long, and they wanted me to reply to them. But by replying it would charge you for an international text.
It sounds like the messages i got when my backup assistant wasn't setup right.

[Q] not getting email notifications

A few days ago i stopped getting email notifications for my subscribed threads along with new ones I add. I am sure it is set to instant notification and I have not changed any settings, it just stopped. Anyone else have this problem recently? any ideas on how to fix it?
My dad had a similar problem to this one.
Best I can say is double check your settings in your mail app, and then (if you're using android) go into your system settings >> accounts and sync >> mail app of choice (if it's there, I know Gmail is for certain) and be sure that it's checked and then sync your phone again.
In the rare event that the hosting server went down, obviously that would prevent you from getting your messages. There could be network problems somewhere along the way as well, though that's also a rare occurrence.
I am not getting emails from xda at all, on my phone or computer, both to my Gmail. It just seems weird that it stopped all of a sudden.

for me it turned out that it got marked as spam. I think it was because I got so many in one day.
You woudnt believe it but right after complaining here it started working.
I am facing a similar problem...
Although I did receive email notifs today, for almost all my subscribed threads (its set to weekly)...
However, I am not getting auto-subscribed to new threads that I'm replying to...
This wasn't the case earlier...all my subscribed threads appear in one place in the xda app...but now I need to separately subscribe to each of them...

Anyone resolve this ? It's just started happening to me

[Q] monitoring app for rooted phone

I rooted my phone and my wife's. She's been hiding things and deleting messages and sending off pics of herflself and deleting them. I tried using a recovery app. But is there something that I can install on her phone that's will stay hidden so I can monitor what it is she is up to? Something that will save the text logs and pictures. Or activate her front facing camera. GPS... I want to make sure I have all the evidence I would need to confront her. This happened in the past as well and I didn't have enough proof. She played it off like I was the crazy one.
I've searched but figured some experts would point me in the right direction. Hoping to save my marrage before its too late.
Thanks.
Well for finding old picrures, theres diskdigger app. Uhm... Besides that, idk

I used dr phone and it took so long and it kept showing all the current pics and not just the deleted ones . wasn't until I used discdigger that I found what I was looking for. but being the free version it didn't search for much. and hard to view everything ion the little screen, and it requires me to have her phone for long periods of time.
I know there has to be something out there I can install once and get the info sent to my phone or pc.
since I only have small windows of time to have her phone(when shes sleeping) I practice on my phone. install what apps I wanty to use and try them so I know what it is im doing when I get the chance.
a keylogger would be a start but I want to know what texts are coming in as well.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but recently when my phone broke and I still had to text people; I went to the Verizon wireless website, under 'My Verizon' is a tab called 'Send a message', enter your wife's phone number followed by her account password, and then it should be empty if this is the first time opening this. From here you can send and receive messages. After your initial login, all messages will be stored. It shows deleted as well. Finally, if you do happen to send a text from this online, sent messages will not show on her phone. Beware as she will still receive the incoming texts.
-Hope this helped! Good luck with your searching

[Q] message not sent notification

Hello, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Can anybody point me to a thread that solves the irritating "message not sent" notification that comes up every once in a while? I fixed this issue once, but forgot what I did. I've been searching through the forum, but couldn't find the answer. I've tried clearing the cache, and I know I've seen elsewhere downloading the handcent sms app, but it says it isn't compatible with this device.
I'm pretty sure my previous solution found a way to identify the specific messages that didn't send and just delete them. The annoying notification, however, just takes you to the messaging app and doesn't lead you directly to the offending mssgs. Anyone know the solution? Thanks.
I can't be alone in observing this... No one else is has had this problem and solved it?
Doesn't sound familiar, did you check your outbox? It may be stuck in there...
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Let me clarify: this is for text messaging only. Is there an outbox for that somewhere?
Aha, text messages! I don't believe there is an outbox, but you may find that one of your messages wasn't sent. That may require some scrolling to find it... depends on how many you've sent...
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
A lot, which is why I'm trying to find a more efficient method than scrolling through all of them. I know there is something because I figured it out before, but I can't remember what worked.

phone number formatting issues

Anybody know what might be going on here? Ill explain. Also wanted to note that I never had a problem with this issue until about three weeks ago. basically my contact list has two or sometimes three numbers listed for each contact one for Google and one for Samsung and what I'm noticing is that some are formatted like this (985)***-**** and some are formatted like this +1985***-****. sometimes when I send a text message by just choosing from the list quickly I'll send a message that no one will ever receive and I know this because later I'll get a text from that person and a new text entry won't show up with that person's name and picture just like the previous one. I've actually had a three-week run where I didn't notice it and just thought somebody was ignoring me for three weeks. I tried one of those number formatting apps but it hasn't seemed to fix it. Anyone have any advice or ideas in this area? Thanks

You'd probably just have to delete them manually and check if your contacts are syncing duplicates because they are stored on the sim, Google , and Samsung .... I'd just disable sync from the quick tab notification bar.
