Hi,

I have a strange problem with my Xperia S: I have constantly popup windows opening, showing the location of (I guess) the nearest cell phone tower. I already tried to turn off all location settings, but the popup still appears, sometimes every 2 minutes.
I also did a firmware upgrade already, no success either. Does anyone have an idea where those popups are coming from???

Goo to know that I am not the only one :)

Can you maybe post a list of apps that you have installed? Maybe an app is responsible for those annoying pop up messages?

Cheers, will try tonight and report!
Is there maybe any Android app which can change those settings on the SIM / change the settings with the operator network?

NO CHANGE

I tried putting my sim in an old S40 Nokia and disabled cell info display as well as deleted all info channels (including CH50), but still getting these Cell Broadcast messages. Looks like we all have to wait until ICS for things to improve.

The new Cell Broadcast option in the latest 6.0.A.3.73 firmware should resolve the problem I think.
