Temporary fix for 'Stagefright' exploit

Now, as we wait anxiously for our beloved OEMs to slowly update their softwares to patch for Stagefright, we are still vulnerable... UNTIL NOW! Here's a temporary protection for us, living in the slow ring of OTAs:

1. Open your messaging app.

2. Open your messenger's settings.

3. Disable "Auto receive MMS".

4. Repeat for all your other messaging apps.

5. DONE!

- If you're plainly lazy, download "Textra" messaging app which comes with in-built Stagefright protection!

FAQ:

- Any battery impacts?

Shouldn't be, so long as you follow the steps correctly.

- What if my weather shows "??" or "Unknown"

Go into the Widget Settings and Force Update

- My location isn't accurate!

Manually tell the widget your location, don't use auto.

- The weather isn't accurate!

For now, there's no choice as it isn't powered by the all mighty Google or AccuWeather.
