    Okay I have a Samsung galaxy S5 and every once in a while it will send a random text message to some one on my contacts list that says you need pro to use this feature. Any body have any idea what's going on here ?

    Malware comes to mind. Scan with anti virus.

    Hi jimbo0706, Have you tried a 'Wipe Cache partition' ?
    Have you installed any Apps recently?
    You probably already know how to uninstall applications on your Samsung Galaxy S4:

    Tap Settings. | More. | Application Manager. | All.
    Locate the application to be uninstalled.
    Tap the application entry.
    Tap Uninstall.
    Wipe Cache Partition
    1. Turn off the device.
    2. Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
    3. When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
    4. When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
    5. Press the Volume Down key to highlight "˜wipe cache partition.’
    6. Press the Power key to select.
    7. When the wipe cache partition is complete, "˜Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
    8. Press the Power key to restart the device.

    Take care to read the menu as the font is very small.:eek: I've carried this out procedure on my Galaxy S4 and all is OK. Neil.
