Is there any way to get rid of this annoying popup when I receive sms from businesses etc with "unofficial" numbers.

Well, I've never seen that. But I have Hangouts set as my default SMS. Just a suggestion.

Has been set as default sms for a long time now. It never used to do it, this started with the lollipop update. It's annoying as hell.

Well I looked a bit more into this problem, saw that it's not just HTC One M8 related, but more to do with international numbers codes, apparently Hangouts/Google doesn't implement all of them(yet) but mostly just use the US short number system.
There was talk about Google fixing the issue and bringing out a fix for it but nothing as of yet.
Hopefully there is a way to disable this notification without depending on Google??? If anyone has any idea on how to...?

Bug - Messaging not showing the text I've typed

Anyone else notice this one? Whilst typing the text doesn't actually show. In the screen I'd just typed "we're" as you can see in the predictive box above the keyboard. The text isn't showing though.
Had this about three times over last week. Not seen any other threads on it but sorry if this is a repost.

I've had that problem on a few Android phones. All you should have to do is close out of the messaging app and then reopen it. Also, I just remembered that I had this issue on my Xoom as well. It kind of sucks when it happens, too. It seems like they don't really know about it or how to fix it or something.
Doesn't seem limited to messaging. Apparently tapatalk does it too. Its pretty confusing. Especially when drunk...

Uninstall the app, reboot the phone, download the app again, sign in and see if the cures it.

I thought the clock means scheduled message.

Really, wow I didn't mean to schedule any messages. How do you schedule a message?
So I went through that thread and deleted a few messages. I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but the clock changed to a green dot now.
I think I figured it out. I think that is their Google Talk status. I've never used Google Talk and didn't even know I had it, lol.

I'm pretty sure that is in fact what it means. I remember with my G1 that would happen sometimes. I think the orange means they are away and the green means they are online. It is kinda cool if you have limited texting because then you can just gtalk them if you know they are on.

I would be so happy if ROMs had a setting like this

{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Especially for experimental/unstable roms....
This would be nice lol
I never see apps force close messages usually..
Uninstall the apps that force closes.
FCs should be annoying! If they aren't annoying no one will complain and make the dev fix their broken app.
The iOS is strong with this one.

I agree, it's kind of nice to see which apps are force closing so something can be done to fix it, rather it just keep crashing and trying to open in the background, draining your battery.
Although I entirely agree with a "don't popup again for this app" option, for testing early roms and such.
I think a toast notif would do just fine.

Would it be possible to have a contextually aware mod for the S3?

The new Moto X is said to have contextually aware abilities so you can say 'okay google' anytime and it will listen to what you say. It would be similar to Google Glass.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get something like this for the S3?
Isn't that Google now? Which our devices already have? That's the command phrase.

Yes, but with this you don't have to even touch the phone to activate Google now.

. Take note of the only option with the check... Don't know if anybody would want the battery drain associated with your phone constantly listening every time your screen is on so honestly I don't see anybody putting any effort into this...
Hm I wonder if having it always listening is going to drain the battery on the Moto X.
It depends how they implement it...if it's like wifi connections with the constant polling, then yes.
