So, I got this problem that every freakin' night the alarm goes off at 0430 even the alarm is set at 0800. It also goes off at the time specified ( 0800 ) but it also goes off at 0430. What the heck is the problem, is there a hidden alarm on the phone or what?
No, at one point the phone's alarm was set to that time and never shut off properly. Trust me, most mornings I am ready to throw mine across the room in hopes it explodes from all the wrong alarms lol.
Best way to control it I have found is to be sure to turn off the alarm, not just the soft key disable, go into the alarm and switch it from every day to off while that time is still set. That way it "usually" clears out of the memory by time I set it again the next night.
That said mine will still at random go off at times it has not gone off at for weeks. I am wondering if syncing it with the PC will sync the alarm schedual of nothing and clear it out, since rebooting does not work.
There are other third party alarm programs I have heard of but dont remember names or results people have posted about them.

This has already been previously answered. Install SKTools and clear out the notifications queue.

Which does not always work in mine.
sktools won't let me clear the queue. It says that entries are deleted but they are still there.
Any other advices?
SKTools
hrmmm.... There are some ok documentation write ups on it, not really sure all the problems that cause/correct the alarm problem. It's such a big one, there are a lot of people that have just gone with a different alarm program completely.
A thought, when I first tried SKTools, I didn't actually do it right, then I re-read the directions on the forum post and realized I had not done it correctly. But what has worked for me, is when I go into the notifications queue, and scroll all the way to the bottom, I select EACH entry for clock.exe Then on action I choose Delete Marked. Seems to work until it happens again, due to missed alarm, or whatever else seems to cause it.
Hope that helps...
I would like to set my Kaiser to send pre-written text messages at specific times, does anyone have any idea about any software that does this? Or anyway to do it on the phone now?
For example, next week, I'll be traveling. I would like to write a text wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, and then have my phone send it to her at 8AM her time, which will be 3AM my time.
Or, as another example, being able to set it so to send other people I work with reminder texts, about deadlines or whatnot, without my having to keep track of doing it myself.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

you are in luck because I have found this recently for my kaiser and it works great. Does scheduling and group texting and you can save the groups too.
Ah, that's brilliant, I'll give it a try.
Muchas Gracias!!
How do I install this.
yes, I am abit new

OK, this is frustrating as hell, do any of you professionals have any ideas??
Each night, I send three to five messages to the same person, say at 0300, 0305, 0310, and 0315.
Almost universally, the first message is delivered, as I can see it crossed off in the Scheduled Messages section of PowerSMS, and it also appears in the Messaging program as sent.
However, the remaining messages, although crossed off as sent in PowerSMS, do not appear to have been sent, and do not appear in the Messaging program as sent?
Any ideas? This is the sole reason I bought PowerSMS--to send scheduled messages to the same person, but it's only sending the first one.
I've tried everything. Soft resets. 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes between messages. Leaving PowerSMS minimized. Closing it entirely. Leaving it open on the desktop. Plugging the phone in, leaving it unplugged but with plenty of power. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sends a few messages. Most times, it doesn't.
Frankly, this is annoying. The phone works. Messages coming and going are not an issue, EXCEPT when PowerSMS is involved in sending them.
I posted much of this on the developer's site, and his only comment was: "That seems odd, and I don't have an answer for you right off the bat because the behavior is unpredictable. Does it help if you space the messages out a bit more (i.e. try to send them 15 minutes apart instead of 5)? Also, can you soft-reset your device to ensure the memory is clean and nothing else is running in the background? Then see if you can get it to send yourself 3 messages in a row 10-15 minutes apart. One guess is this *may* be related to the power management features of the device. It gets woken up at a certain time, sends the message and goes back to sleep and tries to wake up too quickly. Maybe this is causing the problem?"
Anyone here have any thoughts? What he says makes sense, but I have no idea where to go from there.
What version are you using? The newest version is 1.3 and it may fix the issues.

Having a weird problem with the Android app for Google+... I left a messaging conversation, and it keeps popping back up when I go back into messenger. This is the case on my tablet, and phone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing is working. Suggestions?
Bump.

Open google plus
Go to messenger
Long click on the conversation you want gone.
Select leave.
But make sure you are logged out on the other device.
I hope this does what you need.

I've left this conversation several hundred times over the last 4 days. It keeps showing back up. I've cleared data on both devices, and my tablet is actually turned off right now, so logging out isn't the issue.
I have been trying to recreate your problem.
So far, no luck...
Only thing I can think of, maybe the problem isn't on your side but on the side of your conversation partner?
According to google the only way to get back in a conversation is when someone invites you back in.
When you leave a conversation, you’ll no longer receive messages from that conversation and won’t be able to access or view the history of the conversation unless you’re invited back.
Since one-on-one conversations are between you and another person, there’s no way to completely leave them.
I'm just guessing here. Sorry, I wished I could help you.

Might be it, but it was a one liner and it keeps coming back.

Maybe best to post feedback to the google plus app people themselves ? I don't think there's a problem with your setup, just a bug on google's side ?

Hey All,
Got an obscure message / chat from an old friend. it was over Facebook messaging - I was using my HTCOne. We messaged for a bit then he asked me to download a chat app called SKOUT. Sounded odd, but my friend is a DJ in LA so, he's always finding new trendy crap to socialize with.. so I hit the link.
The app took over my phone. It began rifling through my contacts and pounding out random weird emails to everone. Example: From me: "Hey I'm going to buy the Jeep" sent at 4am my time. Stuff like that. I got on with support at Verizon, and we started clearing caches. There was 12kb in apps that had to do with texting or chating that could not be cleared. The 12kb cache areas was written to FB messenger, google+, gmail, and messages. How it was written was a mystery. Since we couldn't clear the cache we did a factory reset on the phone but he 12kb cache was still resident in all those apps. No virus scans that the tech guy had could kill it, so I'm getting a replacement phone under warranty in two days.
Even after the factory reset my phone is still sending out bizarre messages to old girlfriends, old bosses.. It's pretty ****ed up.!
I just wanted to get the word out.

Hi Ffej4ord-
Very sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with the app. Skout never accesses your personal contacts or sends messages without consent, so I'd love to explore this issue more. Please reach out to [email protected], or feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected] as I want to resolve this for you.
Sorry again, hope to hear from you soon.

Situation Update: 10/24/13
I've read everyone's comments, and I'll be the first to say, I don't know what happened. Perhaps it was too harsh to say SKOUT was a virus. Tensions were running high on my side. I think where I'm leaving this - I believe someone used SKOUT as a method for obtaining my personal information. The 12kb cache area within messaging is normal, and in all subsequent test on other phones, this 12kb cache is not able to be cleared. This leaves me a bit frustrated with Verizon support who not only switched out my phone for not being able to clear that 12kb area, but repeatably told me over the phone they they were able to clear that cache on their side. AGAIN.. This does not appear to be the case in looking at other phone's messaging cache.
I have my new phone now, and everything seems to be working properly. No one is telling me that I'm messaging them weird things anymore - so I guess I'm good..?
I'm out.

Browsing on this site I just got a pop up saying private chat request from skout apparently 3 miles away. Clicked OK and it took me to skout on the play store???? Very odd but seems very virus like to me.
Skoutspam several times a day
My work has GSM phones in our offices. A colleague installed the app and removed it. But still we recieve spam from skout via his phone.
The annoying thing is that our phones recieve messages as a phone call whith a computer reading it aloud.
This happens maybe five up to ten times a day!
My cousin installed Skout, too, and now his phone is sending Skout links to his contacts. How the hell are the devs not in jail yet?
Has anyone seen this App permission monitor pop up while doing something completely normal and keep letting you know every time you use it? For me, I'm using Google Messages as my default SMS app, and this thing pops up telling me "1 apps have been detected using 1 permissions" and lists Messages | SMS.
OBVIOUSLY.
What's even stranger is that I went to app permissions and it says that Messages is authorized for SMS, just like I okay'd it when Messages was set as the default SMS app. What gives? I think this might come in handy when an app goes rogue, using permissions without me saying it was okay to do so, but in this case, it's like saying "water is wet." When you click on the notification, it says that Messages has been using permissions in the background.... What?
Any thoughts on how to okay this with App permission monitor so I can text without this warning all the time (and no, I'm not about to hide notifications of it since it could be helpful in the future).
Go into Settings > Lock Screen and Security > App Permissions Monitor and turn it off.

Not helpful. Please read what I wrote again. I think the app could possibly be useful, but it just needs to be corrected.
You can actually go in and tell it to not report permission uses for specific apps instead of turning it off completely. Instead of clicking the rifle just click on the words so permission monitor and it'll give the full list of apps and you can shut off reporting for apps you trust.

THANK YOU. This is what I was looking for. I didn't know what you were referring to at first, I was just getting the notification because I didn't see it in Settings (there is so much stuff in there now, you just about have to use the search feature for everything these days!), but now that I found it, I clicked on the words, not the toggle switch, and set Messages to NOT monitor. Perfect, thank you.
I am kind of confused. What did you search to make it go away? This is getting so annoying because it is always telling me textra is using SMS and I am not sure what to do to make it stop. Like you I would still like to keep the monitor on I just wish it would stop telling me what I already know.

I was a little confused as well so this is what I did to correct it.
SETTINGS >> LOCK SCREEN AND SECURITY >> APP PERMISSION MONITOR
From there you should go down to the android Messages app and toggle it to off. That will disable giving the warning every time you send a message.
Hope that helps.

You do know they legit just told you how to do it.... you dont have to be mean about it. and then stating "THIS" is what im looking for.

I suggest playing around in your settings and everything to get the most out of your phone.

I am assuming you are using a 3rd party messaging app from the play store?
I am still getting the notifications even though for instance Contacts is allowed to be used by Android Messages, I get the notification everytime I send or receive a text.
I tried turning the monitor off completely, still getting notifications.
All since I upgraded to a new Samsung patch last night on my S8+.
In fact I got the notification just now after I toggled the setting to off...I checked and the toggle is back on.

Can Not Thank You Enough! I could not figure out how to get that to stop to save me and my OCD couldn't take anymore of those notifications as it was always about my chosen text app. Turning off all didn't work why I didn't think to try just the one is beyond me. So thanks again and this is why I love this Forum!
