When you say you're getting it every time you get an email, what do you mean? In other words, every time you get an email at your Sprint email account, or are you using the Sprint Mobile Email app, etc.
Also, please do not bump threads within only hours of the last post. A bump post should be at least two days from the last post in the thread.

Hi Everyone... I'm new to this forum. I have received the following text messages in the past 12 hours.... What do they mean? It is annoying...
I keep getting these text messages too, and they don't have anything to do with email notification. Anybody figure out why we're getting them?

Lovely indeed. I started getting these text messages yesterday. They seem to be increasing in frequency.

Has anyone else called Sprint to see if they know what's going on with these texts? I called once several days ago and the CSR I talked to knew nothing about them. Since there are several of us that are getting them, it seems more likely that it's something from Sprint's side, no?

Is anyone still getting these? Mine stopped for a while, then today I've gotten 5 so far.

Maybe it's an encrypted message meant for someone else. :scare::ohcrap:

Well, you can always block them.
Log into your account and go to Text Messaging under My Online Tools then select settings and preferences. You can block numbers there.

Here's an answer on how to stop them:
BuzzAboutWireless.com (http://forums.buzzaboutwireless.com/baw/board/message?board.id=OffTopicRantsandRaves&message.id=123#M123)
Still no idea on what they are other than "BREW" is a programming language used by a lot of smarter phones...
"BREW is Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless, aka a way of writing programs for some types of mobile phones (mostly Verizon). If what follows looks like garbage, and there's a lot of it, then it means something is trying to send you a program via BREW. I don't know the specifics of it, but i'd assume the gibberish is either the program itself (if there's a LOT of it) or some kind of code to tell the phone to go get the program."

Yesterday I received more than 20 of these 9114 messages. I called Sprint and they were clueless. After reading this forum I placed a block on the number. We'll see if it actually stops the flood. THANKS to all!

9114 is the 'Push' text message alert from Yahoo. It's trying to tell you that you have Yahoo mail.
You can block these. Either through the Yahoo mail site or on sprint.com. If you don't have time to block them yourself online, you can call customer care or tech support and they can block the messages for you.
Hope this helps! :)

Thanks so much. I put a block on the 9114 number via the website and it seems to be working. I didn't realize that these might be push alerts. If they are, the whole SMS thing could get very expensive - or drive everyone to pay the extra $15/mo for unlimited messaging.
Thanks again for your response.

I am now getting this problem as well since I signed up my centro with versa mail and yahoo. I am trying to get on my online tools but when I click on that it brings up a blank page. I called sprint to see if they could block this damn 9114 and they didnt know what I was talking about and I was very clear about it. Anyone have any ideas do you think I should just go to the store???

Hate to bring this back from the dead but I actually know why this is happening. It's a problem with Sprint Mobile email application that comes with most phones. It's actually quite helpful since it will allow you to get push email (ie instant email or blackberry like email) straight to your phone. The problem is if you uninstall the program or stop using the program without resetting your email information on the server, it will keep sending the email (push) notification in the form of the 9114 text message gibberish. I have the Touch and found out through trial an error and noticing that the texts come at the same time I kept getting emails.
A more decisive fix instead of just blocking the text message sender is by using the Sprint email program and re-enter your infomation for your previous email account. If you don't remember just start sending emails to your various email accounts (allow a few minutes between each) and wait to see if you get a text from 9114. When you find out which email it is, you should register with that same account again.
Once you have done that select re-register under the menu. Don't enter anything after that. It will clear your info off the server and now you can uninstall the email program AND you will stop getting the texts.
So in short, don't blame the gmail or yahoo, it's not their fault. The program is really to blame although it's a symptom of push email which is nice to have for free.

I just activated a 9C last night and these started right away.
I haven't checked but for awhile last night both phones were receiving the same text messages.
I wonder if Sprint is still pushing emails to the Rumor(?). I didn't clear the phone before deactivating it.
I'll try checking which email account is doing it and maybe blocking as a last resort.

I switched to an 800w and I think I'm still getting these from the mail account set up on my Centro.

I got three of these in a row yesterday after I deleted my sprint mobile email. so either the emails are still trying to come through (if it happens to be in relation to email) or the system doesn't realize that I have deleted my sprint mobile email...however...you can block these messages through sprint.com. :headbang2
login-->my online tools-->text messaging-->settings&prefs
from here you can block any unwanted senders, including shortcodes. :) the person sending you the message (or system) will get a reply back that you wish not to receive text messages from their number.

Right. If you delete the SME application without first removing the accounts you have set up on there, there's no way for the mail servers (yahoo, gmail, etc) to know that you no longer have SME, so they'll continue to send alerts to your phone. The best way to fix the problem is to reinstall SME, re-set up the accounts you had before, and then remove them from SME. Once that is done, you can safely delete SME again and you shouldn't get any more of the 9114 texts.
