My Iball andi 5k panther is sending SMS automatically everyday after every few hours.I just get a pop up saying Message sent, 1 RS deducted.It doesn't show any number to which SMS was sent I do have built in app permission manager as it is running on android 4.4.2 and I have denied permission to all outgoing sms.So there is no question of any app sending out SMS at least that's what I think.This is a fairly new mobile and still under warranty. I am using Reliance as my network provider.I called reliance cust care to check if any VAS services got mistakenly activated from their end but they denied any such services. They also gave me the number where messages were being sent. I tried calling that number but it never rings and just get disconnected. Since this cell is still under warranty I took it to the store.At first even they looked puzzled but then they formatted my cell which cleared all the downloaded apps leaving only the default apps which came with the mobile.After few hours again a message was sent out and I got the same pop up Message sent 1 RS deducted. I don't know what to do.This seems to be one of a kind problem.Please someone help me.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am planning to go back to the store since it is still under warranty but I have very little hope considering the solution they provided me the very first time. I downloaded few apps apart from the default apps and they all seems good like MX player, whatsapp,Hike,Adobe reader & Smart App lock.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Looks to me like there's some built in app that's operating behind the scenes. You could do some further investigation if you root the device, but rooting the device will almost definitely void your warranty so that probably isn't a viable option. I'd return to the from which you bought the phone and let them know that the problem is still occurring even after a factory reset, meaning that the problem lies with the stock firmware. Honestly, I'd be asking for my money back, this all seems very shady to me.
Good luck!
Update from @[email protected]:
Hi,
Thanks for your reply to my post regarding my Iball mobile sending SMS automatically to an unknown number.Just wanted to let you know that recently I installed 360° antivirus in my cell and after in depth scan it listed COM.STS as a Trojan which is deep rooted in my ROM.It also explained the Trojan as (1) Forced auto start (2) Send SMS without warning (3) Steals users personal information (4) Users risk permission that do not comply with software attributes.It also detected system vulnerability which included Fraudulent text broadcast.
Now I have the proof and can get this cell replaced with a new one.Just wanted to post this as an answer to my question but for some reason my thread is closed and I don't know how to open it.So I chose to send you a msg in pvt.
I would appreciate if you post this as an answer to my question so it could help someone in need.

Is anyone having problems with MRing and their Treo 750V / 750C??
The problem I am having is, whenever I have MRing installed, it prevents my treo from connecting to the internet and alse prevents it from sending Multi Media messages. I thought initially that it was a device or network issue, but after doing a hard reset on two seperate treo 750, connecting to the internet and sending MMS successfully, I then re installed MRing and immediately began having connection issues. FYI MRing is a ringtone manager from Motionapps
MRing problems
I had the exact same issue. I un-installed MRing, and it went away. Somehow, MRing is "hijacking" the phone/data connection, most likely in order to correctly intercept the call to add the ringtone.
No issues since I un-installed. I did NOT do a hard reset, FYI, just un-installed.
Steve
thanks for the response, have you found any other ring tone manager that used mp3 from the sd card like m ring does? ringo mobile says it can do that, but it copies a small peice of the song onto the device memory ( i don't want that). I really like m ring, but it was really frustrating to not be able to send MMS or get on the internet with my 750
Add MP3s
I just added MP3s using the Settings->Sounds & Notifications->Manage tab, and added them from the card. It works fine, and there is enough memory on the phone to easily support a couple of MP3s for ring tones, etc.
I sent a support request about this into MotionApps the same day I replied to you, but no response as of yet.
I like mRing's ability to manage everything from one place, but I need the data connection. Until they fix that, it's staying off my phone :-(
I E-Mailed Motionapps on the 15th of March, but I have not received any response from them as yet. I did copy music onto the device memory, the ringtones work great, I am only missing the ability to set individual tones from SMS contacts. Any thoughts on how to do this?
SMS tones
No, I don't know about that one, sorry. I still haven't heard from MotionApps, though, and it's Mar 20.
here is the response I received from motionapps, it seems to have worked
"Hello ,
Thank you for your e-mail and sorry for delayed reply.
Our development team has been working with this issue and unfortunately they were not able to recreate it in our lab.
However, we would recommend you to try to disable mRing from Today screen by selecting Start > Settings > Today > Items tab and uncheck mRing.
mRing should disappear from the Today screen.
Could you please try out now your internet connection and let us know if it is working correctly?
Best Regards,
Sanja

I'll give that a try!
Thanks.
here is the lates reply from Motionapps
"Hello,
Unfortunately the test you performed means that there is an issue with mRing on your device. When disabling from the Today screen you will no longer be able to use mRing for phone call ring tones; only SMS notification will work.
Therefore, until we resolve the issue we can offer you a refund or a different MotionApps application if you prefer. Please let us know about your decision.
Also, we would like to invite you help us identify the issue considering that we are not able to recreate it on our test devices in our lab.
Please let us know if you would like to beta test.

Interesting. The results are as I suspected (no mRing on Today screen means no custom ringtones as mRing is designed to do).
I still have have no email from them regarding the exact same issue, so if you have contact with them, let them know you are not the only one with the issue.
Refer them to this thread, and they can review for themselves. I would be willing to assist. I like the concept of mRing.
FYI, the same issue I have with Vito AudioNotes.
If I set the automatic call record, I can connect only the first time. To reconnect to gprs/umts I must soft reset my treo.
I spent many time to find this!
This issue is only if the autorec is enabled.
At the moment, no solution from Vito Technology.
I'm having this same problem with my AT&T branded, brand new Treo 750.
It took me forever to figure out what was going on, I thought AT&T cut me off or something!
I guess I'm going to try Ringo.
[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?
The message is still in my Samsung Galaxy S2 inbox and contains this:
message size:32kb
expires: 9:04PM, Oct 25
Download
where "Download" is a clickable button and when I click it it changes to "Downloading", then after a few moments it changes back to "Download".
Any idea what it might be?
So you downloaded unknown software from a suspicious number onto your phone because it told you to?
Ummm... Quickly You need to pm me your bank account details and any applicable passwords plus personal identification information. If someone is going to scam you and get all your stuff it should be me, at least im honest about it, plus you have to now cause I asked you to.
Yeah, but nothing happened after, android didn't prompt me to install anything. Is it possible that it installed by itself? And how can such a message arrive to me anyway? Do you think its from an installed app??
My phone is 100% stock and not rooted. What in the heck is this? If its THAT easy to get a security hole, then that makes the market a scary place!

Whats the file name? go to where your phone stores downloads and find out. if nothing is there check running applications. Is anything running that shouldn't have been. can you provide a screenshot of the text message?
I'm shocked that you presses download, not knowing where the message came from. Were you THAT curious?
I hope nothing is going to happen to your device, but in the future, you might want to ask first before pressing anything.
Sorry I couldn't really contribute anything helpful to this thread, but I couldn't resist.

Moving to Q&A
I just received a txt from the number '1' also.
Subject: its time
Message size: 12Kb
I use handcent and it is set to auto retrieve mms. It said downloading for quite some time then I deleted it and blocked the number.
Sent.
You're Fine
I think you're fine. I just recieved a similar message from 1. I think it was someone 'replying all' to a mass text because a second later that message from 1 disappeared and was replaced by an actual text. PS, I'm not an expert.

You might be right. Turns out my girlfriend sent a mass text and I was on the list. I ended up getting several more that day. None of which would auto download.

highly avoid
I would highly advise to stay away from and advise you to not download any type of text message that comes to you from an unknown phisher or source.
same issue sorta
see i have been getting texts like this myself it started just yesterday when a friend said he would send me a video of something (mms video) and so i never got it but instead a number listed as 1 had sent a message with no subject it was a download. i asked my friend to send again and it went through to his number instead just fine (hes using an iphone) so i just deleted the conversation with the number 1 and moved on but then my girlfriend sent a video to me and the same thing happened. im curious if its an error having to do wth the sending of video or if its something more concerning. (my girlfriend is on android) the whole thing here is taht they where sending me a video and that i got a message that i could download supposedly a video using the number 1 instead of from the person who said they where sending something(its concerning
Well that was rude. Way to be a ****
I've gotten that text message twice on two different phones and my phone auto magically started downloading? My phone is fine after every time but it's just so weird to me my recent message sent to me and then dissapeared

I'm not sure exactly what your problem is, are you saying you are just seeing the msg "Messaging is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?"
If yes, you are just exceeding the number of msg you can send in a set time, (normally this is 30 msg in 30 min in most phones, I believe). It's a security measure to prevent malicious apps sending lots of msg. It can be changed in some phones/rom easily but needs adb commands in others.
Maybe you changed this setting previously, to a lower number. Either way you are probably just sending more messages than this limit is set to. If you are not then you may have a malicious app.
Why are you looking at "net send" & microsoft cert, is it related to that app in the background? Does it send sms & that is causing the pop up? As I said I don't follow, please explain more
I believe I have stagefright I have some sort of third party running over my phones. Its not just the 1 phone its all

Simple answer
A noobie hacker (like me xD)
Is using a simple open source sniffing app. When it is turned on, chrome blocks the request.
Based on practical experience, nothing more
BTW go to your router admin panel page and reset your password and disable WPS and enable mac filtering
Hello, I'm a normal (not expert on rooting etc) android phone user and even after googling i couldn't solve or answer my question/issue. The past phone I had was an xperia z3 compact. This phone was able to send mms automatically (even with data off i could see the lte working for a few seconds and then the mms was sent it stopped). Now with my latest phone Lg Q6 i need to put the data on (and off) each time i want to send or recieve and mms. I checked on the Android messages app and my lg q6 has acces to my network. So i believe it should be able to also send mms automatically but it doesnt. So what is it? As i said i did some googling and i found nothing. Some people said it was the apn, and i checked, is the same info that i had before. I don't want to download any 3rd apps either. I know that i could just leave the data on but i don't want to risk it as i have a small data plan.
I contacted lg, google and Fido. Fido and google said that Lg is the one that should be able to help me with this (even if the app is from google) so i call Lg and they suggested a reboot, and factory reset. Still the same.
I have the idea is like some coding (ors something like that) on the app that doesn't allow it. After reading some forums i saw that HTC and some samsung phones also send mms automatically.
Any ideas on what else can i do?
Thanks!
Have you tries all the tips on this website: http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/how-to-automatically-receive-mms-picture-messages/
If you have and it's still not working, then I think it may be a factory problem.

Hey everyone,
I got thru doing a factory reset and installed all the Play Store app updates on my Samsung SM-J727T1 a little while ago. I use Metro PC for my cell carrier, and the few times in the past I've never received a email like the one I got a little while ago.
It looks like it's sent to someone with a LG Cell and I only have the Samsung. Could anyone when they have some free time take a look at this and see what u think it's something for my phone.
