I received a text containing a picture of words saying "baby did you get this" this afternoon from someone I haven't spoken to in months. I am pretty sure it's a virus. Is there a way to check for viruses on the iphone 4?
I upgraded from the curve to the tour 3 days ago. While I hadnt yet installed my contacts, I recieved a text message from someone that was an image of homer simpson that said, "click here to play." Upon clicking on the message it begins with the lyrics "you are so." then in homer simpsons voice it says "gay." I deleted the message immediatley however, after every single one of my notifctaion sounds, it now pays that message. I tried adjusting all of my sound settings and cant get rid of the sound. This is clearly very frustrating and would love to know how to remove this from my phone.
I've just recieved a message off a couple of contacts via BBM claiming to be a message from RIM saying that the BBM servers are full and if users do not send the message to all of their contacts on BBM then RIM will assume they are inactive users their BlackBerry Internet Service will be deactivated. The text of the message was in blue, and had a link at the end 'www.blackberry.com/inactiveusers' which doesn't exist.
Surley this is a virus? I have deleted the message and haven't sent it on.Anyone else had this message? Is it a virus or is it genuine?
I am using Nokia N 97 with a prepaid cellular account, yesterday I noticed that my prepaid balance was much less than expected, I checked with my cellular carrier & found that several expensive text messages have been sent to 1818. Searching the web I found at[URL]that downloading an illegal version of of the game 'Mosquitos' cuses infection with a a Trojan that infects the phone and sends the costly SMS messages without the owner realizing, but I did not install this illegal program, what I did download from Ovi store was a program called 'mosquito repellant', could this be the cause of trogen infection?
I just want to know if there is a way that I can open my text message "inbox" without haivng to open a new text message that I have. I used to have a droid. When I clicked on the message icon, it would open to the full inbox, just not the conversation with the new text message. I want to know if there is a way I can do this with my iPhone as well.
The bar on the top of the screen between the "select a profile" and the "search magnifying glass" where the notifications pop up not sure what that page is called but in this slide down screen under Text Messages I have a text message that is staying at unread. Even though I have deleted the text message and I've tried everything to try and get it to go away. Today I have a Blackberry Messenger Message that won't delete as well. Does anyone else have this problem and figure out a way to refresh and get ride of it? I've tried turning the device on and off a few times but doesn't fix the issue.
Received Text message failure due to low signal and now my iPhone will not resend the message and will not send any other messages to the same number - all happened after moving up to iOS.5
I Often times I'll get a " message failed" message while trying to send text or iMessages to friends. The only way it'll eventually send is if I dekete tge entire message thread. Any way I can fix this problem on my iPhone 6 plus?
I'm thinking of abandoning the I-Phone altogether because of two annoyances that get only worse, not better, with time. But if any newer I-Phone (I currently have the 3GS) has removed these annoyances, I will upgrade.
1. I want txt alerts to continue (every minute or two) until I have opened and read a text message. Does any model I-Phone allow for this?
2. I want to disable predictive text as I don't like the I-Phone algorhthym for this -- it causes me endless grief. Which model allows for this?
3. I want my battery to last a minimum of 2 days without charging (I've tried all the usual ways of reducing battery consumption and the result does not meet my needs). Does any model I-Phone allow for this?
His text message gets interrupted halfway through by an old message he sent before (be it a previous message from a few minutes ago or from weeks ago!) It only happens with texts from him, no-one else. I've tried deleting our conversation but it makes no difference. It's getting so frustrating cos I have to keep asking him to text me again and a lot of the time I just get another 'cracked' text!
One of my contacts has sent me 2 text messages and I get the audible notification of the message and a time stamp, but only a "white bubble" with no message. I have contacted my service provider and they have conducted tests on my phone and I can send and receive messages. why the messages sent from this one contact are not coming through?
When I try to forward a text message to more than 10 people by using the contacts menu to select the recipients, the message changes from text message to multimedia message.
Since, I do not have a subscription for multimedia messages with my service provider, the message remains in the outbox and never gets sent.
Can someone advice why the text message converts to multimedia message? How to prevent this from happening everytime I send/forward text message to more than 10 people from the contacts list?
Can you get a virus on your iPhone 4? Like a trojan virus or such? Because yesterday my photo app,the camera and video app had put themself in a folder and nobody had touched my phone!
Two weeks ago I got a text massage from my husbands HTC phone. I could see that the message was not for me. He claimed that he never had send the message.I did not pay more attention before today. Tonight I was text messaging with a friend and my husbands told be that he could see all the text in his phone as coming from me. Both what I wrote and what my friend wrote. In my phone I have not send him any messages. What is going on?Do I have a virus ?My phone I a company phone with high security so I turn if off and do not now what to do? Tomorrow I will contact my IT department, but does any one know is it can be an virus and how do I know if it is my phone that is affected?
Recently my laptop got viruses, big ones. and i had connected my phone to my laptop at that time.I want to make sure that none of the viruses has creaped into my phone.So, can you tell me how to scan for viruses.My iphone is 3gs and os is 5.1.1.
I just want to find out that is i phone 5 can get affected by virus. i was browsing website on i phone 5 today . i got a message on my screen that website you recently opened have virus . press OK to repair. but i just closed website and cleared history....

So I have a pretty big problem. I turned my phone off (it was jailbroken) Black Ra1n wasn't working because it has a trojan virus attached to it. I went to the site and I got the same popup message. Can somone please help me I cant use my iphone now until it is jailbroken again.
am hoping someone can let me know if you need an anti virus software on your iPhone 4? I have been asked by my work to ensure that I have one but I don't think that one exists or is needed.looking for firm confirmation of this so I can show something official to work to assure them that it is all covered.
So my N79 is refusing to let me send text messages on the grounds that "Text Message: Not enough memory to perform operation. Please delete some data first". So I went through and got rid of a heap of stuff - songs, videos the kinda things that are big files, and still no change.
My phone memory has 368kb free and my memory card has 3734 mb of free memory.Was working perfectly fine yesterday with more data and my phone stores about 1000 messages pretty easily, several videos, songs etc..
When I click from either the "Notification" screen, or the Text Message List, I am directed to the wrong text messaging thread. This doesn't happen every time, it happens every day, and multiple times, however. Usually, when I reboot the phone, the problem is gone...momentarily.
It seems to happen with random messages. I use Universal Inbox and currently see message from text, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and my AT&T mail.
If I use the stock Text Messaging app, I can open the list of messages and see whatever I can from the preview there, but when I click to open the thread, it will open a totally random message thread. Weird. I'm not that into text messaging, but it does annoy me when I need to use it and I can't open individual messages because the wrong ones are appearing.
I don't know if this is a device problem, a software/app problem, an AT&T messaging problem or what. I'm somewhat ignorant about smartphones and have only had this Atrix 2 for about three months.
I noticed that when I send a lot of text to one person, eventually the sending will freeze and I cannot open a text from this one person. Is this a common issue? I am on ATT and running .296
Is there a way to turn the text-to-speech options on only for caller ID and text messaging? I don't want the phone to tell me every button I push or screen menu that I'm on. I want it only to read me texts and say who the call is from before ringing.
