[Q] Indian Rom XXDLJ5 writes secretly SMS to india - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
yesterday I flashed the newest rom XXDLJ5 (India).
Everything went just fine.
Now i looked at the connections on my online bill.
I noticed that my phone has written (shortly after flashing the rom) secretly a sms to
this number: +91 9560345888.
Google could only tell me that it is an indian number.
There is no hint on my SGS3 why it has written this sms.
I set this number as spam in my sms app, so i hope this was the last time this happened.
That costs me 0.13€ everytime...
Does anyone have an idea why this happened???
Thanks in advance...

Few people facing same problem but it is for one time only ie for 1 st boot only ....

Every New Official ROM flashed , sends an SMS to a different number as noticed in all my devices after official update.
So thats for one time only where SAMSUNG registers this device of having flashed the official version on their handsets.
This is also introduced in the ICS builds for S2 and Notes too.

Ok thank you so much! Flashed 2 times the LJ5 :/
Not going to touch the India rom anymore. Plus it performs weaker in games than LJ4.

After buying the Indian S3, most operators provide complimentary data packs. I got 3GB for the first two months. So maybe it has something to do with that?

Also the Galaxy Note JB ROM sends SMS
Not only the Galaxy SIII, but also the Galaxy Note N7000 Jelly Bean official Indian (South Asian) ROM sends SMS to the Indian number +919560345888 each time you flash the ROM or perform a factory reset. This has been a mystery! See my post here!

I will NEVER install TW rom on any of my Samsung devices. That really sucks my money 5 months and today I faced this. I have I9301 and loved to flash custom tw roms but my bill increases every month mysteriously for sending sms to this number. Samsung and your little tricks........

[Q][JB] Callers not being able to hear my voice.

Hey guys, I've got this weird issue, which I can't seem to get resolved myself, so I'm here to ask U guys for some help.
Basically I've got the EU version of the S3.
AP: I9300XXDLIH
CP:I9300CEDLI1
CSC: I9300PHNDLI1
Phone has not been rooted, has no custom ROM or anything of that kind. I'm running stock JB.
So now to the actual problem:
After updating to JB, my friends told me they couldn't hear me AT ALL anymore when calling. When both receiving and making calls.
The funny part is that when I call with Viber, Skype or send messages through HeyTell, it all works fine.
Long story short, normal calling -> no-one hears me. Calling over the "internet" -> no problem at all.
So my guess is this is a software-related problem rather than a hardware one?
Anyways I hope someone will be able to help me out, or atleast provide me with some advice!
Thanks in advance,
Raain
Ofcourse it is a software problem. Did you try factory reset?
Or try different mobile operator?

Hey, i am having the same problem too. And i did tried factory resetting the phone, but its still not working. Any other advice???
changing csc to your country will apparently do the trick although csc does wipe your phone but.

do you mean the country i am in or the country the phone was from?
edit: btw, i am trying to flash the stock rom for now
I got the same issue and i am pretty sure it's Jellybean because before i didn't have this issue. My operator is Telfort.
Switch out the modem for the new baseband one. Had the same problem after ICS Odin and wanna lite 5.0 flash.

Odin is not the problem. I flashed my phone with Odin while my father flashed it with Samsung kies. Before the JB update we had no problems calling people and after the update we have randomly problems, while we are making calls we don't hear any sounds. Last time i called a person (didn't hear any sounds too) and after a min or 2 i hang up. I called him back and he said he picked up the phone and didn't hear anything.
Jellybean 4.1.1 is the issue, i hope samsung fixed it on 4.1.2
We shouldn't have to change csc after an update from OTA but hey its Samsung were talking about

[Q] Unwanted txt to India

I have noticed my phone has been sending a txt to +919560345888 which is in India. How do I block my phone from sending an unwanted txt, or how can I block this particular number.

Sounds a bit virus like, or to be more accurate, it may be that you have been conned into signing up for some expensive text service. You might want to check with your provider that you aren't being charged a fortune for the texts. If you take prompt action you should be able to get the provider to refund any charges.
I have found something similar - SMS to 00-919560345888
I was looking over my phone bill and I noticed a SMS sent to 00-919560345888 on the 9th of November - the number seems to be in India (provider probably Airtel, somewhere in the Delhi area).
Doing a quick search here was showing this thread most recently.
During that day the only software that I remember installing on that specific S3 was Criskelo v19 (and there is a post of mine from that day to confirm that) - did anybody else see something like this?
EDIT:
IMHO the original poster should change the title to include the words SMS and 00-919560345888 to make this thread more obvious for other people that have seen similar problems!
i think when you install the india rom it sends registration sms to samsung india or network provider..as here when we purchase samsung phone we get free data for first few months..so each time fresh installation of rom it sends sms..
I doubt that ...

I really doubt that - I consider this story a major problem and I think we should further investigate the owners of that number and how that stuff got injected into the ROM - it most certainly does not look like a company number but instead 100% like a number a hacker would use to signal back the existence of a backdoor - which most likely he could perfectly use at any time with a SMS back to your phone where he most likely has root access!
I'm sure if you ask politely someone will track the number down and nuke the bastterd
Edit: Turns out to be an Indian Samsung service centre.. Nuke it anyway.

Install LBE security master, free app in xda. It will not let any app send unauthorised texts/calls/location data. Hope it helps next time. Thanks.

While I appreciate your generic advice you are probably not understanding what was happening - the trojan is inside a custom (auto-root) ROM, and as such could in theory do anything while the ROM was first booted - the program could not only send SMS in an "invisible" way, it could also leave a pretty much invisible hook/backdoor, and if the program wanted it could also uninstall "LBE security master" or whatever other similar program - and for the record AVAST was already installed - but as expected the program could see nothing unusual since the problem was inside the root-mode ROM!
This was a problem with the earlier jelly bean rom for india LJ5. Due to technical issues this update was withdrawn by Samsung India and later LK1 was released.
Any ROMs based on LJ5 would have this issue.

What is an LK1 and A LJ5 ROM? How can I tell once I get ready to flash a new ROM?
I realize that this is an old thread, but I was just on my cell provider's site to check my bill and there was that number.
I just froze Messaging through Titanium, but how does this crap happen?
What's the best app to use to find out if I have a trojan, worm, back door or Virus. I have Avast but something tells me that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.
I started another thread the other day about my Note 2 automatically resetting three times in two days and something tells me that this is related.
I have an N7100 with Root and the stock ROM and with a Perseus kernel.
Thanks in Advance.

When you say that you know nothing 'about that product', what are you referring to... the N7100, the stock ROM or the kernel... or possibly all three?
My Build number begins with JZO54K.
Same unexpected SMS sent to 919560345888 with Last OMEGA ROM V19 (the one based on an India offical delivery) ... not fair.

I guess you meant 4.1.2, as 4.2.1 is not yet officially, just the leak, hence no OTA or KIES update possible
I think he means he's received the XXEMB1 4.2.1 official update which superceeds the older XXELLA 4.2.1 updare from a few months ago that appeared to be the cause of regular system freezes. I got my device back from Samsung yesterday claiming they fixed it but it still froze 3 times before lunch. Then I got the XXEMB1 update this morning and so far so good. I've been running Facebook and Google Chrome over wifi and mobile data with no lockups.

Quite right lenash, its the standard s3 keyboard which is renowned to be rubbish. On a side note I even bought swiftkey but it keeps deactivating itself. Just one of many issues ive noted since moving from the lt15i arc to the s3
Easy way to find out.
Browse Root with ES or Solid Explorer. Sort by modified date and browse /system/app etc..
You didn't provide enough information.
Who knows what it was.. and as you now know, the wrong place to ask.

I would love a detailed changed log, I was on I9300XXELLA before now i have updated today to I9300XXEMB1 the only thing i spotted was they added more bloatware Play Magazines & Play Music that I can't uninstall unless I root, and now taking Screenshots now feels glitchy!

Receiving texts late.. maybe need a new modem?

Hello everyone.. I am on jelly bean latest wanam build. I have been experiencing texts coming in very late and I have no idea how to fix. I tried a couple of other builds but still had the problem.

[Q] Network issues

Hi everybody,
My friend's mum has an SII which has run into a few problems.
Its always set on Emergency Calls Only. Also, whenever she tries to make a call it gives a message saying that it cannot register to the network.
Build: JZ054K.I9100ZSLSJ
Baseband: I9100XXLS8
I can provide any additional info if required.
I thought it would be a modem-related problem- its something that's come up in the Galaxy S I9000 forums (where I usually am)- but I'm not really sure about that. ZSLSJ is the 4.1.2 rom for Hong Kong. Its stock and unrooted.
If it helps (especially for any NZ SII users who might know), I'm in New Zealand, and the phone's on Vodafone.
The motherboard has been changed as well to try fix the problem, but it hasn't changed anything.
Any help/guidance/advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Really sorry to revive an old thread, but the problem's come back again. It was fine for a bit of time until now- the SII's still saying it can't connect.
Would flashing the NZ 4.1.2 solve the problem? Or is there any other way to stop this happening?
