SPAM SMS Messages being received on APX NEXT radios


Error

APX Next receives SMS in Smart Messaging App and once open the SPAM message, not able to exit the Messaging App without reboot the APX Next radio.

Root Cause

Root cause :- SMS/MMS capability was removed from the Android 10 build previously. It appears, on Android 11 this service is moved to a different makefile and included in the current release.  
 
 
 
 

Workaround/Fix

The SMS/Text message issue was addressed in two-ways: firmware and wireless communication carrier configuration.
(1) the Android SMS/MMS application was removed from APX Next releases with Android 10 and will be removed from APX Next releases with Android 11 and
(2) the cellular carriers can filter messages to prevent unwanted  SMS/MMS text messages.
 

The issue was identified and fixed during SR2022.1 development testing back in December 2021.

Upgrade to R4.40 or higher.
