Windows Phone 7.5 suffers from a bug that a special sms message, the phone can reboot, and claims to be a Windows fansite. After that reboot continues the messaging hub also hang if a user tries to open it.
Winrumors claims that the denial of service bug on different devices, to be able to exploit, including the HTC Titan and the Samsung Focus Flash. All devices were running Windows Phone 7.5. By a special sms message to a device to send, crashes. After a reboot, the messaging hub also no longer be opened.
It seems to be a bug in the way the messaging hub of Windows Phone with new messages to handles. The bug also works with Facebook-instant messaging and Windows Live Messenger messages. As a friend as a live tile is pinned down, can also be a Facebook update, the bug is in operation. In that latter case, a user must have in addition, soon after the reboot, the relevant live tile remove, because the device otherwise it will continue to crash.
