Hi all, first post as I only found this forum tonight while trying to figure out what my phone's doing. Hope you don't mind - I am a big windows phone fan and I continue to use my HTC HD7 with Windows 7.5
A while back my phone downloaded near 800mb of data (when not connected to wifi) which ended up costing me. I never figured out what did it as I have minimal apps and no updates were done (that I know of). I have disabled background apps in the settings too.
Lately the back cover has been getting warm on the very odd occasion and battery draining a tad faster, even though I haven't been using it. (Perhaps it's getting a bit old, I can't discount this, but it is seldom).
Today it sent out a whole lot of text messages to random people. The texts were very random and old. For example my neighbour received a text that I'd sent him 15months ago. I phoned my provider and it doesn't seem to be a problem at their end.
My first thought was virus but I have read the topics re: this, and read that it's extremely near impossible to hack a windows phone.
Or is it? This is all very strange! Does anyone wiser than me have any thoughts?
Much appreciated
Dave
