Format errror 2

Which jailbreak are you using?

Same here, problem started yesterday (24th of Feb, 2016) on my iphone 6 with all software updates (not/never jailbroken), and I have seen the error now at least 5 or 6 times at random intervals, always prompting a darkened screen with "back", "cancel" or "accept" buttons (see screenshot). The phone will activate to display the error message.

Same situation here (iPhone 6 Plus 128GB) - absolute no idea what it could be....

I was travelling from Austria to Germany --> startet after trespassing the Austrian boarder.

Maybe it's an spoof Flash SMS?

From Wikipedia:

Flash SMS[edit]

A Flash SMS is a type of SMS that appears directly on the main screen without user interaction and is not automatically stored in the inbox.^[68] It can be useful in emergencies, such as a fire alarm or cases of confidentiality, as in delivering one-time passwords.^[69]

Warum sollte es sich um einen Virus handeln?

Mein iPhone funktioniert trotz Meldung einwandfrei.

I don´t think that it is an Virus --> my iPhone is still working fine.

Otherwise, it would be good to know which kind of error it is.

Hi all,

I do have the same problem and I also think its related to change network provider. I do have this also on a daily basis.

Any tips?

regards

As indicated earlier, this is a Flash SMS. Report this to your carrier, as they are illegal in many places. You need to work with the carrier about stopping them.

Hi Chris,

thanks for your message!

I got the point around flash SMS, its just curious to me as it started for me first time on 22nd of February 16, so similar to snyderx.

You may know how painful it is to work with the carrier around such issues? Its a painful and long process.

anyway I've been looking through the screenshots I've captured around this and got the error with those providers:

- Vodafone DE

- Vodafone UK

- Salt

- 3 AT

Is this maybe related to the roaming info sms, which might get wrongly interpreted by iPhone or due to bad signal while crossing boarders it might get corrupted?

whats your view on this?

regards

I Doubt it has anything to do with that. Flash SMS is something that just happens, but from what I have read, it seems to happen a lot in Europe.

hi there,

i have the same error here.

started yesterday.

the only thing changed was:

i installed "telegram" yesterday.

regards,
