anyone know what this is??????

Did you install and setup Sprint email for push and then removed it?

These are the SMS triggers to cue the device to do an auto-sync with Seven's servers. So when an email is sent to your account, they send this "trigger" to wakeup the device. It's basically simulated-push.

If not that, then it is related to the Oz messenger as that operates on the same principle: when you go into idle/standby, your direct connect to the IM server is severed. Sprint then maintains your presence on the IM network. When someone IMs you, a SMS trigger is sent to wake your device and it comes through looking like a new IM.

The benefit is you save a lot of battery power. The downside is delayed push emails and/or new IMs as you are relying on the speed of Sprint's SMS servers, which by all accounts are not fast at all. Plus, if you remove the program without disabling settings, you will still receive these SMSs as Sprints/Seven's servers are still polling your email accounts. (Likewise, it could be just an error with either of those programs not "reading" the triggers for whatever reason).

Now that I think about it, I get a text everytime I get a new message in gmail... even tho I deleted the program.. can it still be forwarding/pushing messages?? how do I turn this off?

Right, so your best bet: reinstall the program and re-setup your account. Then disable push and turn off auto-sync. I would then reboot the device and reestablish the connection. Then I would delete your account then remove the software.

I get that 9114 when I pay my cell phone bill over my cell phone the numbers after should be a confirmation number

I was getting these too ... a simple way to get them to stop is :

Go online to your sprint account and block text from 9114..

that's what I did ... don't get them anymore

My wife's phone which is clean of any added apps has been getting these 9114 txts since about 30 minutes after i activated her mogul. they have come a few times a day over the last 3 days. Again there is no app installed on her phone so this isnt caused by any 3rd party app.

The delivery settings for the Sprint email program are chosen on your side (on the PPC) but are stored on Seven's servers.

So in order to properly remove the program and prevent this, you must disable Push (notice it should force an update at this point to change the server settings). Then deleting the account in the program, which will also force an update to remove your email account on the server. Then delete the program.

If you just block these numbers, you may block the IM program and won't be able to use Sprint Email in the future unless you unblock it.

Also, if you are still getting these from a improper Sprint Email uninstallation--what it means is your email account is still being polled and accessed on another 3rd party server. If you're comfortable with that, then by all means, but I prefer to limit access to my email accounts by 3rd parties

Well I blocked the text (9114) and still get the push email from my gmail acct ...

for my problem, I just re-installed the Sprint Mobile Email and save the setting for having push email off.



ever since then, no more 9114 texts.
