It's a security message letting you know that an app or app's you have installed is also trying to send a large amount of SMS messages - If it's not an app then despite what others may say both myself as a company owner of IT Security and now Sony as per their warranty paper would advise you make sure you have no malware installed

My 1st option would be if in doubt click deny - 2nd to make sure try Avast security from the play store and run a scan - Should it come back you are clean then you have an app or app's trying to send messages for what reason I have no idea

At the time I got this pop up, I was texting a friend and we were texting each other rapidly, and hence, I faced it. Malware or anything of that sort had nothing to do with it. If there's any way to disable this, it'd be great.

I read somewhere that there's a default limit set in JB after which this pop up is triggered, like say, for example, if 50-100 texts are sent at a quick succession, it's been programmed to pop up. If there's a way to increase this limit and somebody knows it, please share it with us, thanks

According to sources on XDA the only way to get round this it 1st to be rooted then install this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamf.smslimittool.donate

However direct from the site it's free found here

My device isn't rooted and I don't see myself rooting it anytime soon. Any app for non-rooted devices, Thommo?

Thanks a lot, though!

Non that I can find and this is because been rooted allows you to edit some file - The app mentioned is an easy way to edit the file

Quote from Google

"The rate limiter was an intentional introduction in Jelly Bean (4.1) and the settings can not be altered by users. Device manufacturers have the ability to alter this limit in their firmware, but they have to balance heavy texters against protecting users against malicious premium rate SMS sending applications.

You may wish to contact your device manufacturer to see if they can raise the limit in their firmware."

Looks like Sony can do it! Request to Sony:

Please increase the messaging limit if you release an update in the future! Thanks.
