Hi

I specified to send to a specific number on missed call, and MD sends to that number but also to a unknown number. I can see in my SMS app that the SMS is correct send to the specified number but also to an unknown number and that the SMS app tries to send a SMS several times without luck to that number The number shows as a # in the SMS app and not as a actual number.

Any solution?

Samsung galaxy s21 ultra Android 12.


Thanks

After deactivating Google messages no SMS is send to an unknown number anymore, but 2 SMS is send to the same recipient. Any idea why and a solution?

A guess could be that I have both the stock Samsung SMS app and textra installed. But I can't deactivate either.

But MD shouldn't send text to both apps I assume?

If you can use ADB, you can uninstall both of these using
adb shell uninstall --k -0 [the package of the app]
I think it's the right command.

If the adb command causes the application to behave strangely and cannot be restored by itself, a Factory Reset will restore the application to its original state.

Some manufacturers do not restore uninstalled apps even after Factory Reset, so it is better to disable the apps at first.
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 [package name]

The following command will enable it with a fairly high probability.
adb shell pm enable [package name]

It is better to do pm uninstall if disable doesn't work.

Before doing this any other advice? (my guess is only a thepry, but MD shouldnt send to 2 apps simultaneously anyway - right ?)

Anyone else seeing this?

Personally, I don't think the system app should be easily changed. I don't have a Samsung device so I can't verify this, but it could go wrong.
Disabling and uninstalling with the adb command is at your own risk, and worst case, you may have to Factory Reset and re-configure.

I have disabled it on a Huawei device because of a noisy message prompting for a system update.
It worked then, but that doesn't mean it will work on Samsung devices.

It is all at your own risk, so please think carefully before doing this.

I have 370+ macros (I would say half are disabled/rarely trigger) and I know what you're talking about. Recently, I have created a macro for someone on the forum and forgot to disable it. It looks like this :

The problem was that on my device, airplane mode action is broken. It just prevents me from interacting with the screen until I leave the current app and it doesn't even work. So for 15 minutes or so I was constantly getting blocked without knowing it was MacroDroid.
