- I have an iPhone 4.
- I downloaded Windows Live Messenger from the Apps Store via my iPhone4.
- It was working fine for a week.
- This morning I was having a discussion with two people via the app on chat.
- My MSN IM is a @hotmail.com account.
- One of the persons I was communicating with has a @live.com account and the other has a @hotmail.co.uk account.
- Shortly after the conversations, I started receiving notification messages from Messenger on my iPhone, it was the same conversation I was having with the @hotmail.co.uk account user. It kept repeating the notifications of the messages over and over.
- I received upwards of 500 notifications an hour, all of them were from the conversation I had with the @hotmail.co.uk user. It just kept repeating 4 of the messages over and over again, hundreds of times. It did not do this for the conversation I had with the other person.
- It does this even if I'm not logged into Windows Live Messenger on my iPhone4, it just keeps alerting me of messages for Messenger regardless.
- I deleted Windows Live Messenger off of my iPhone 4 and reinstalled it, twice.
- I turned the iPhone 4 off and on multiple times.
- I Deleted my history, my cookies, and cleared the cache numerous times on my iPhone4.
- The only way to stop the influx of messages is to go into SETTINGS, NOTIFICATIONS, MESSENGER, and turn SOUNDS, ALERTS, and BADGES to OFF.
- I do not receive these messages on my PC where I also use Windows Live Messenger.
- To test out something, I downloaded an application for iPhone 4 called ebuddy and accessed my @hotmail.com account for instant messaging and it DID NOT give me these repeated messages.
- I reloaded the Windows Live Messenger application for iPhone 4 again, and it still does it.
