Random text message.

I just recently flashed mikrunny's v1.01 and ever since I did so I keep getting this random text message from the number 6250 and the contents usually say either vzwnmn:1 or vzwnmn:2. At first it didn't bother me but now its starting to annoy me. Any idea of what it means/is.

Does it seem to happen when you get an email in your non gmail , email app
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

kinda i use the regular mail app instead of the gmail app just cause i like the layout better. but yeh sometimes i would get the text and there would be an email. but the other times its just the text message and not an email.

Its was am idea Verizon had to let you know you had an email...turned into a bug. Forgot how to disable it lol
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

There are two ways to disable it. The easiest is to go into the message, push menu, and select block messages. I think it will ask you to set up a password, so do so. It will then say no messages found. Press menu, block list, and then press the plus button, and add 6250, and press okay. Then back out, delete the message, and you should never see another one again, until you flash a new rom.
The second option is to go to the my verizon website and go to the sync options and turn it off, but I always have trouble finding it and it doesn't stick between flashes either, so the phone way is just as good.

Thanks for the help. I love this community. Probably the most helpful out there

No issues here. Stock 4.0.1, 4.0.2, Gummy 0.9.0 and various kernels.

I use WhatsApp and have had no issues whatsoever... I am able to receive texts from people who aren't in my contacts, etc. Running 4.0.4 (Axi0m Patient Zero)

WhatsApp works fine... only gripe I have with it is it doesn't have the capability on Androids to only show one checkmark instead of 2 when a message has not been read yet.
iPhones have this capability, and as far as I know, blackberries do too...
but oh well...

Check if your whatsapp sync is set to ON in the "accounts & sync" under settings.

Uhhhh, no it doesn't. Send a message to an Android phone. It gives you two checkmarks straight away, even if the person hasn't read it yet.

No, I've contacted support on this, they say that's by design with no plans in changing it. It gives two checks right away even though you haven't read it yet

I can confirm the single check mark is very much a feature in the android version.. turns to two when read. you might think it doesn't if the person you're messaging is reading the message instantly.

With all due respect, I think you guys are missing something here... I've already spoken to support and the 2 checkmark issue effects only sending a message to Android phones only. A screenshot does not do anything as I have no idea what kind of phone the recipient has.
1. If THE RECIPIENT has an Android phone and a message is sent to them, you will see 1 checkmark instantly, followed by the second checkmark a second later, regardless of if they read it or not. The only time it will not show the second checkmark is if the recipient phone is OFF.
2. If THE RECIPIENT has an iPhone, it will show one checkmark until the person reads it. According to support, this is caused by the way iPhone's handle the messages.
I've already had an email conversation with WhatsApp Support/Developers about this issue, and they effectively recognize the issue as Android's handle the notifications differently than iPhones.
So if your phones do it as intended (Recipients are Androids), then you obviously know something the actual Developers don't.

I just told you the recipient has a galaxy Nexus. even now, the double check mark hasn't shown up since he's probably sleeping. why would I lie about this?

Ok thats the whole point... he may be sleeping with the phone off....
Listen... it BLATENTLY states what I am trying to say in:
www.whatsapp.com/faq under "What are those green checkmarks next to my messages"
"We are glad you asked. These green checkmarks are actually very important since they function as message delivery acknowledgement indicators. Here is what they mean:
One checkmark - message successfully delivered to the server.
Two checkmarks - message successfully deliverd to the device of the chat partner. (note: this does not indicate that the message was read, just that it was delivered"
Not much more I could say to that. After speaking to the developers, they have no plans on changing this, and the reason why iPhones function that way is because of the way iPhones handle messages.

it means, his galaxy nexus doesn't have connection now (3g/wifi disabled, or phone off)
if the phone was on, and the 3g/wifi was enabled, u will see the 2 green marks right after the 1 green mark..i can confirm u this
also when a user receive the message in the background, he can open the notification or not (or also he can have the phone in the pocket and not unlocking it), thats why it doesn't mean the message is read..android can receive the message even if the phone is in standby with screen off, this doesnt happen on the iphone i think
will be nice if in the future they add a third green mark to indicate the message is read

If I still have it, sure. I'm not at home right now, but i'll check my inbox when i get home.
It was a while ago though.
Fact remains, you could test this yourself... as I did, with my Galaxy Nexus, My Wife's SGS2, and my friends iCrap.

Whatsapp users! Be aware.

Guys, today after school I saw that all the statusses of my contacts were error: blablabla. I tried to refresh (in whatsapp) with no luck.
After receiving the following message, and after forwarding it to 18 ppl, i refreshed again to look if it would work.. It did work. The statusses of my contacts were back. I am just posting this here for you guys to get the statusses back. I am NOT trolling, I tested it on my phone, my sisters phone and my dads phone. I know the blue icon and red icon doesn't make sense without an app update or something like that, but the point is, after forwarding the message i got my statusses back!!( of my contacts!)
The message:
Before you read this, go to your contacts and look at everyones status! Should say error: status unavailable.
Hello everyone, it seems that all the warnings were real, the use of WhatsApp cost money from summer 2012.
If you send this string to 18 different on your list, your icon will be blue and will be free for you.
If you do not believe me see tomorrow at 6 pm ending WhatsApp and have to pay to open it, this is by law
This message is to inform all of our users, our servers have recently been very congested, so we are asking your help to solve this problem. We require our active users forwarded this message to each of the people in your contact list to confirm our active users using WhatsApp, if you do not send this message to all your contacts WhatsApp, then your account will remain inactive with the consequence of losing all their contactsMessage from Jim Balsamic (CEO of
Whatsapp) we have had an over usage of
user names on whatsapp Messenger. We
are requesting all users to forward this
message to their entire contact list. If you
do not forward this message, we will take
it as your account is invalid and it will be
deleted within the next 48 hours. Please
DO NOT ignore this message or whatsapp
will no longer recognise your activation.
If you wish to re-activate your account
after it has been deleted, a charge of

We are also aware of the issue involving
the pictures updates not showing. We are
working diligently at fixing this problem
and it will be up and running as soon as
possible. Thank you for your cooperation
from the Whatsapp team”
WhatsApp is going to cost us money
soon. The only way that it will stay free
is if you are a frequent user i.e. you
have at least 10 people you are
chatting with. To become a frequent
user send this message to 10 people
who receive it (2 ticks) and your
WhatsApp logo should turn Red to
indicate a frequent user. Am sorry had no option!
And check now the status of every individual contact is showing :
Status : error
-------
Copy and paste from before till error and send it.
Good luck.

whatsapp is pure crap. it's a shame that everyone I know uses it which means i have to use it too

Well ironically my contacts have "Error: status unavailable" on all of them, but no problems sending and receiving messages. Its probably just a server error.
Well, I just did a refresh and all status's are back to normal.

LOL.
Deleted these craps from my WhatsApp inbox and all my status were back.

This. I had the same problem (not that I noticed it to begin with) and a refresh fixed it.
Ignore the OP.

Why do people fall for chainmail bullish*t? I still get tagged in pictures on Facebook saying to share this picture to continue to be able to use Facebook for free. Go look on FB page before logging in. "It's free and always will be" right on the homepage lol.
Or my PS3 inbox FULL of spam messages saying the exact same thing.
For future reference, anything that EVER says to share this with X amount of people in order to do this or get that is false. Nothing but spam.

For the same reason millions of books and websites and blogs and posts are written that are full of nonsense.

Group text

Ok I feel really dumb already. I'm having a problem with group text. Even if I create one they still don't come back to my phone correctly when they respond. It's like I'm getting double messages. Is there a way to change this or should I just try a 3rd party app. Feel like suck a newbie and this isn't my first rodeo.

For whatever reason, you have to turn them on. Go into your inbox > settings > MMS settings and then go all the way to the bottom. Check the box, make sure it says your phone number, and hit ok. You should be good to go.

Still getting emails

Ok so I'm getting way too many emails so shut off the settings ( I thought) were the correct ones for the emails I was getting.
Anyway long story short I've shut all notification email off and email from admin and users, I'm not getting as many but am still getting at least 20 a day
Is there any other place I need to check besides the user cp that has email settings ?
Cheers
