I think he meant after the factory reset, his phone started downloading all his apps back in it.

Okay that didn't work. Guess ill have to go to Verizon.

Yeah because I'm all out of ideas. Last thing, take out the sim and re insert in the phone just for no damn reason but who knows. Tell Verizon your issue and the warranty should cover you getting another phone.

Which 3rd party apps are you installing? And how many Google Play accounts do you have?

Okay I did a factory reset. It went away but as it updated the apps it started to do it again.

Guess I have to figure out which one it was.

If you could have a friend near you you could factory reset and then install one app at a time and send a text after each to catch the culprit. This could be time consuming though depending on how many apps you have.

In your app drawer you 2 messaging apps....one is text messaging and the other just says messaging.....they are both stock apps......go into the one that says messaging...or it may say messages and go into the settings and disable notifications.....hope that helps

If your using handcent just go into the stock text messaging app then settings and uncheck notifications

Okay I got it. If you long press (LP) the notice in the drop down box it will give you a option to shut off notification and which app it is.
It was Beautiful Widget.

It's crazy cause I've always had that app. This all started with the 4.1.1 update.

Hey Staxxx,

Glad you got your issue fixed, but i'm having similar troubles! I just got my S3 this week, so i can't say whether it did or didn't work before the update or not.

But i don't actually get a notification in the pulldown, just the audio notification, two of them. I've tried everything, as detailed in my thread here http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/250613-double-sound-notifications-sms.html. I don't have Beautiful Widget, but i guess it is something that i have installed, and will have to go through one by one, like you first suggested to figure it out.

Definitely seems like a new issue with latest S3 update though

Ahaha! That was easier than I thought! I just picked out the four or five apps i downloaded to get different ringtones (Funny SMS, Ringo, etc etc) and unistalled them, and it stopped!! So it was obviously one of them.

How bizarre, but thank goodness it's stopped!
