Really strange repeating text...from 1969! HELP!

The other day I went to unlock my phone and it wouldn't respond at all, no backlight at all. I tried holding down lock button to reboot but still nothing, so I pulled the battery. After it rebooted, I had a text notification (i use handcent). This is what the notification bar read:
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Going into the handcent convo list, I see this message from "Anonymous", notice the date of receipt:
[/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]
When I click the convo I'm taken to an empty message, no text at all. Also, I cannot delete the thread, nor can I blacklist it, choosing either of the options does nothing. I've tried erasing it in stock messaging too-nothing! The most annoying part of the whole thing is that all day long I keep getting text notifications for this same message! What the hell is going on?!

I think those are messages from T-Mobile...in your specific case, it seems to be messages regarding your visual voicemail. I have no clue beyond that, but I would just delete them...I get them regularly from T-Mobile, for various reasons...and they always from some random numbered sender, like 4444, or 5117, etc.
And check and see if you have a setting in handcent that automatically adds a contact for any messages from senders not already in your contact list.
Oh, and your screen blacking out and not being able to turn back on is a different issue alltogether. I don't know what rom or kernal you're using, but on MY particular phone, which does not handle overclocking or undervolting well, if I undervolt the low frequencies, I get that problem. Also, some kernals have the low-end frequency set at 216. On my phone, I've found that if I keep it at 216, I get those problems...so I bump it up to 312 or higher, depending on the rom. And then adjust my screen-off profiles in setcpu accordingly. Of course, it could just be a bad flash in your case, as well. Just things to look into and test.
Hope this helps.
P.S. : I'm an idiot, because I didn't even realize the issue with the text being dated 1969, lol...sorry for my irrelevant rantings.

Linux time starts on the day after 12/31/1969.
Maybe you can run a SMS backup, wipe all SMS messages, check the backup for this phantom thread and delete it. Then run a restore.

I've been getting these since yesterday too. Some have my contacts names on them. They won't delete also. I'm using handcent.

Odd. I got this 2 days ago along with a few other blank messages from "211" and friends from 1969 time stamp. They never went away. What I had to do was go into Titanium, backup and wipe the SMS/MMS/APN Dial Storage data. When looking into the MMSSMS.db file that was backed up, it was a gaggle **** in there. A LOT of old text messages I thought were deleted, but weren't. I can only assume it's an error with the mmssms data base.
Since the wipe, there has been no anonymous 1969 texts that re-accrue.

Had same problem and did a battery pull with phone on then reinstalled battery and powered on. Then I could delete but had to delete all threads. So far no more problems.

[APP][2.2+] Etext (SMS to Email and Back)

Hello all,
I just released a free application/service that forwards your SMS messages to e-mail addresses you define, and also sends responses back when you reply to the received e-mails (coming from your own number). Etext uses Google's Cloud 2 Device Messaging (C2DM) to notify your phone without polling every x minutes, hence the Android 2.2 requirement. It's designed so that it can actually replace the default SMS application's notifications, and to be able to reply to incoming messages from any device that's able to receive e-mail, no matter where you are.
The application is brand new on the market, so it would be great if the XDA community could give it a try. Screenshots and a more thorough description can be found on the Android Market (or should I say Google Play). Below is a link, and a QR code that you can scan on your device. If you have any questions or suggestions you can always post here or e-mail me!

Hey!
Did a quick test this and it works well Will do more tests soon.
Was wondering what the real purpose is. I mean ... wouldn't SMS be more reachable than emails given that for email a net connection is necessary, while it is not necessary for SMS?
I'll be using this to have a record of my messages in my mail and occasionally to save a wee bit on my message bills!

It bugged me that I couldn't receive SMS messages or reply to them when I was using my tablet (or any other device for that matter). That's basically why I started working on the application. It worked pretty well for myself, so I decided to implement C2DM and release it on the market. A plus is that I can now search for a name on GMail and get the text messages as well.

Encrypter Decrypter - My second Android app

Encrypter Decrypter is my second Android app. Again, this is a simple app but does what it needs to do perfectly.
Encrypter Decrypter - My second Android app
This app can convert your text in a reasonably secure text.
Note: Saved files are saved in /sdcard/EncryptorDecryptor/Encrypted_Texts
Compatibility: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and above
------------------------------------------------
Features:
- Encrypt and the encrypted text is directly copied to your clipboard
- You can directly share the encrypted text too using Email, Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.
- For large text files, the files can be opened using a file manager and the encrypted text can also be saved to text files (This is the reason why the read and write permissions are required by the app)
- The new Tabbed UI (swipe-able tabs)
Please check it out. I hope you like it.

Seems nice, but you need to add a more strong crypto

Certainly. But my primary aim as always was to learn something new. I try learning new things and implement them.
I know Java pretty well, but I'm new to Android and it's APIs. So building a strong crypto would meaning working more on the Java part, whereas I wanted to spend more time getting hold of the 'Android part' of the programming.
Usually I take up 4-5 new things to learn per day, and if possible implement them together to build a simple app. But seeing the good response my friends and family are giving me on this, I may look forward to building up a stronger crypto. Can't completely ignore building up basic algorithms!

[Q] Skýpe - Auto Download Feature

Hello. First of all - i know about the Virus Risk...
Is there a way, that Skype AUTOMATICLY Downloads Files, WITHOUT ASKING?
I don't want to confirm always to download a file.
And Virusses are not important...
because nobody sends me a Virus!
The Reason - sometimes i can't recieve the Files because i didn't accept them. I don't know why.....
I searched in the Internet and Found out, that the Feature existed once! And also, the Skype of 2012 looks much better! It did show the Number of Online Contacts, Icons in the Context-Menu and it's design was simply much better! I truly loved it that time ❤❤❤❤❤ But now....

Duplicate Filenames
... AND IF THERE IS A DUPLICATE FILENAME,
then the file must be AUTOMATICLY renamed.

Foreign, Unknown Users
And yes, surely! Files must be also accept automaticly from every User!!! Including those which aren't in my Contacts!!!!!
But Yes i know about dangerous files.
So now my idea is - files from Unknown Users go to Quarantine.
But that's not very important.
The most important thing is:
Files get Downloaded Istantly Automaticly.
If i get a File, whose name already exist in my Skype-Download (Reçieved Files), then the File also should renamed without prompting me.
Just Download and Rename Automaticly.
And allow Files from every user. (Also they should be downloaded automaticly...)

Skype is still OK for me...
But that time far back in 2012, it looked much better ❤

Sending messages to the Echo/Sound Test Service... THAT WAS A FUN!
and it's also been very useful!
It was quite useful to make Quick-Notes and telling this Service your biggest Secrets

(Thank you, ẌDA, you finally fixed this bug with the Pictures and the Description, that only [ÎMG="Image esrcription]http://www.ExamplePictureLink.net/Example.(gif,png,whatever...)[/ÎMG])
I know someone, that had fun to offend this Service. Her insults were Terrible, Horrible!
But now... messages to the Soundtest Service aren't „available“ but you can see the messages, that you once wrote. They are stilll availible.

That good old time...
Skype Extras and the The Counter of ONLINE MEMBERS!!!!! I miss it....(:crying::crying:
)
.....

Skýpe with Cleverbot
would be a nice idea!

Nothing!
I can Not finde the App in Google play.

Quick WhatsApp Message already does this. If there any advantage using your app? Just trying to see if I should change it. Thanks
