receive dubious mms Solved

Question

Hello,

I have a SonyEricsson XPERIA ARC S (Android) and for the past few hours, I have been receiving a MMS every minute from a hidden sender, yet with no attachment (neither photo, audio, nor video) and the text is always the same "expiration date expired". I keep getting it in a loop all the time, and I believe that the fact that I no longer have internet (3G+) corresponds to the time of the first message. I'm quite afraid that it might be a form of virus and, whether it is or not, I hope you can help me...

Thank you in advance

Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 8.0.1

PS: I have already tried turning my phone off and on again, of course, and it didn't change anything at all.

Hello,

I have the same problem as you for about the same period.
I have a Sony X10 Mini Pro and I'm receiving about 700 texts every night, it's a nightmare.
I don't know where the problem comes from, despite having called my service provider, whose advisors are, forgive me, completely useless, and having done all the updates, nothing works.

Anyway, I'm lost and I feel like smashing my phone.
If anyone has the solution...

Hello,

First of all, I apologize for leaving the topic while I've resolved the issue quite some time ago.

For my part, it was neither a virus nor an operator issue. I noticed over time that every time I received an MMS, my internet connection would drop for 5 seconds and then return to normal. It turns out that I had downloaded the ChompSMS app, and it must have had a bug that caused me to receive a "ghost" MMS continuously, and at the same time, my connection would drop with each reception, eventually leaving me with no connection at all.

I uninstalled this app, and after trying almost all SMS applications available, I have never experienced this problem again.

So hastalavista67, if you've downloaded ChompSMS, that's probably where the issue is coming from; otherwise, I really don’t know...

Having originally posted this topic for my problem that I've now resolved, may I mark it as Resolved?

Hello!

You’re lucky to have solved that problem ^^
It’s true that connecting the dots, I realize my phone also has issues as soon as I receive an MMS.
I haven’t downloaded ChompSMS, but other apps that are apparently harmful to my phone.
I’m going to clean it up a bit, hoping this inconvenience will just be a bad memory.

Thank you for your response, you have been a great help!
Take care.

Hello everyone,

I know the post has been inactive for a while, but I just encountered the problem and solved it on my own xD

After a call to Orange, which was pointless. I just remembered that I had installed another SMS app that morning instead of the default one.
And that's the problem, the MMS were going to this app instead of the original one (yes, because I'm slow to decide to change a default app).
So uninstalling or permanently using the new app is mandatory in this case.

Best regards,
Florian
