Hi all,
I've got this problem on my Dev Phone 1 - the "From" number of any SMS I receive has a form of "+<countrycode><operatorcode><number>", instead of just "<operatorcode><number>" or "<number>". It doesn't get looked up in an address book because of this.
I've never had this problem with any other phone, and it's really annoying - most of the time I have no idea who sent me a message.
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure about the dev phone in particular, but T-Mobile has always recommended storing contacts in that format. Google may have taken the hint from them when they spec'd the OS. In that sense, it might not be a bug, but a feature.

Thanks for replying.
Well, I tried storing the number with +<countrycode>. The result is that SMS senders are looked up correctly, but the incoming call caller doesn't get looked up now. So, it's "either SMS sender name, or Caller name" situation.
I tried it with sim cards from two operators (with different callers / senders), same results.
isn't it one of the main differences between US and UK firmware?

What country are you in?? filling in your profile, would help us without asking question like this.
What firmware are using? stock...modded?
Not sure if this thread helps but take at look HERE

Sorry about that. It's Georgia (country, not the state), the operators are Geocell and Magti. I'm using stock adp1 firmware.
Maybe it has to do with operators using different formats for calls and SMSes.
The calling numbers are in 8<operatorcode><number> format, but SMSes come from +995<operatorcode><number> (I forgot about the leading 8 in the original post, sorry).
Note that my previous phone (Nokia N73), and every other phone I've used, and all of my friends' phones have absolutely no problems with that.

Thanks for the link.
The only place I could find a setting for a country was in google account settings (timezone and an optional country field). Didn't make any difference (I did a sync and reboot).
I found this link, but I'm not sure if it's related - maybe just an old Windows Mobile issue.

hi,
am having the same problem in here ...
sms'es include country code in the FROM field, whilst calls do not !
as a result if I want to have a contact to be rocognised to calls and sms, i need to add two entries - 1st with his number only, 2nd -> with the country code - ....
is there a way ( reg hack ) to make the phone remove the country code when receiving an sms, or the other way round ...
i have had no problems with nokia and SE phones before ... sms would still contain country codes, but for these phones , these two numbers would still be recognized and treated conveniently...

All my contacts are stored as +<country><number> and I have not had a problem with incoming calls not being identified. I am in the US using T-Mo. Phone also properly identified calls when I was using a different sim overseas. Looks like ymmv?
It was fixable in WM by going editing the registry key: HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIdMatch and changing the value to something like 7 or 6 instead of 8. Later on, HTC made it automatic by either grabbing the value from the provider or having a DB of presets for each country.
However, on Android, the problem still persists. More than 1 year later and it's still there, even on Android 2.2.

Actually, I haven't had this problem for quite some time now (I'm on cyanogen 1.6 now). Fixed some time when I switched to JF or Cyanogen, don't remember exactly.
Tried using one of those charge-by-phone solutions where you write your number on a website and receive an SMS that you're supposed to reply to.
The problem is that when I try to reply, the status is stuck at "sending", and it never finishes.
I tried two different services and failed with both. Both of them had a name instead of a number that you're supposed to reply to. The first was named "FREE" and the second "FOR".
I tried to send an SMS to a normal number, which went fine.
Any thoughts on why I am experiencing these problems? On my old SE, using such services worked fine.
Hmm
Has anyone else tried this. Just want to know if it's just mine or all galaxy S.

Hi,
I have rooted my Nook Simple Touch using the latest version of touchnooter and also installed the latest version of WhatsApp from Android Market. Everything went smoothly, from installation to verification of my mobile number and subsequent chatting with friends even. However, the problem is as such:
When I turn off my wifi router, thereby cutting off internet access, a pop up will appear and the exact quote is as follows: "Connection failed! This usually occurs if you have installed WhatsApp on another device with the same phone number. Please reverify your number." It then gives me the option to reverify my mobile number again. I would then have to reconnect to wifi and reverify.
Also, if I were to start WhatsApp, then switch to another app (e.g.: Opera to do web browsing), the pop up will appear after a while of using another app, but not immediately though.
Another case is if I use a task manager to kill WhatsApp, and restart it again, it will also request for me to reverify again.
Just to clarify, I have never registered my mobile number for WhatsApp on any other device except my Nook Simple Touch.
I don't mind having to reverify my number everytime I disconnect and reconnect my wifi, but I have read online that if reverification is done too many times, the WhatsApp servers might permanently block you from reverifying again. Also, if you try to reverify more than twice in a short span of time, it will ask you to wait a certain number of minutes before reverification can be done again.
Does anyone have a working solution to this problem? Anyone has a working WhatsApp on a NST that doesn't ask for reverification constantly?
Thanks a lot.
i had the same problem while ago, then i stop to using it. it would be cool to have a solution for that..

It's gotta be about IMEI.
I don't remember for sure, but AFAIR, nook generates new IMEI every time.
There is fix to make framework to return same IMEI.
Try to search Nook Color for IMEI fix.
Mali100 ported it to NST, I think...
I suspected it was the IMEI causing WhatsApp to ask for constant reverification too, but come to think of it, when WhatsApp is installed on the computer using Youwave, or on the iPod touch, somehow it doesn't happen. Computers and iPod touch do not have IMEI numbers too, but WhatsApp seems to be able to work flawlessly on them. Any idea whether the IMEI numbers generated by them are always the same number? Also, this problem happens whenever I turn on and off my wifi connection or switch to using another app for too long a time, so does it mean that the Nook randomly generates a new IMEI when I do the above actions? Thanks.

I really don’t know if it’s IMEI or not, I thought it might be.
It’s possible WhatsApp uses different methods on different platform to detect device.
If you switch to using another app for too long a time, it’s possible WhatsApp got unloaded completely.
When it starts again it got another IMEI.
If you feel to investigate further – ddms may shed some light or you can try IMEI patch.
Don’t forget to backup your nook.
Thanks to everyone! I finally got WhatsApp working perfectly on NST and WhatsApp indeed determines whether you have changed your device based on your IMEI number. The NST randomly generates a different IMEI every time it is being asked for one, causing the need to reverify constantly. The only problem now is the inability to add contacts. But a simple workaround is to get your friends to add you on WhatsApp first, then you can chat with them.
I would appreciate if anyone could teach me how to enable contacts.apk to work on NST, instead of social.apk being run whenever I hit the contacts app in my app drawer. This would allow us to add our contacts as WhatsApp friends and start a chat with them.
These are the steps I took to get WhatsApp working.
1) I downloaded the latest version of IMEI fix from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766
I must say that it is a really neat program, a big thank you to DizzyDen for this app!
2) I enabled adbWireless on my NST.
3) I ran the !IMEIme.exe on my computer and selected "Update Device", followed by "Generate".
4) Just follow the instructions onscreen and try to reverify (hopefully for the last time...) WhatsApp after everything is done.
5) Enjoy!
wow thats nice. also try go contact ex. it shows my google contacts there and u can add contacts..
edit: i did it, worked but after reboot, it asked to reverify again. did i do it wrong or is it general behaviour?
edit2: now im sure, i got an imei but it changes instantly. i checking with android system info and whenever i open it, it shows a different imei, cant we force it to use same imei on every time?

Nope, mine works perfectly fine with no more reverifications, even after I reboot, turn on/off my wifi or run other apps. I even installed CWM just now and my WhatsApp still remains. Yes, I think your IMEI wasn't fixed properly. To check, you can go to Android Market and search for the app "Show Me My IMEI". Install it, and when you run the app, you can constantly tap on "Show Me My IMEI!" button and see if it changes constantly with each tap. If it does, that means the IMEI fix isn't working. For mine, when I keep tapping the button, it shows me the same IMEI number over and over again, even after rebooting, killing all tasks using tasks manager and running the Show Me My IMEI app again, my IMEI still stays the same, although my IMEI is a weird 17 digit number with dashes at random places in between (ie: xx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxx).
Try running the fix again. The version of the fix I downloaded is "!IMEIme(2.1).zip". Unzip it and run the program following the steps in my previous post, and you should be able to get a fixed IMEI.
Just to add, I've tested WhatsApp functionality by going to different places in my country and logging to to different wireless hotspots and so far I have never been asked to reverify again. I am also able to chat with my friends and receive their messages just fine.
About the contacts, i've tried copying GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to system/app and installed GO Contacts EX but I still can't get contacts to work after following one of the forum threads online.
still no luck on imeime. tried bunch of times with all different program settings. it says your devices already has an imei, it will use that etc, but its changes. i tried to clear the dalvik chace, didnt go. even i roll back my 1month old restore and tried again. the program is keep saying your device has imei. really annoying.
may i ask which firmware version do u use? maybe something about it.
Hi Guys,
This is the issue I am facing after Kitkat update.The phone sends automatic sms to some unknown number for every reboot or shutdown and the worst thing is that for every sms it takes away 1.50 Rs from my prepaid balance.
Anyone knows which culprit app is responsible for this issue?
I tried a lot searching my phone,I cudn't find any such.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
-Thanks
Chandu
He is charged because this rom has 2 programs that sends automatic messages and need to Be deleted.*
Salestatistic and
Salestrack*
You need Root for that.
Also You can shut them down by modify build.prop lines:
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=yes
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=no
You should do both for safety.*
The messages are sent to
00918527214747
00919880938662
Also,for fun,You can change those numbers with any so the messages will Be sent to that number.
The messages contains phone imei,operator code and other things about phone.
The messages are being sent every time You power on your phone and yes,IT charges your phone bill.*

Thanks mate!!!
But the problem is solved for now.Dono how.No more issues with those apps.
Install without SIM, change the lines on buildprop, freeze the system apk's "salestrack" and "salestatistic" with Titanium backup or similar, and problem solved!!
Cant both apps be uninstalled? Or will that result in a mal function anywhere on the OS?

Fix for Gionee phones sending SMS without permission
Here is what you can do to fix this issue. This was provided to me when I called in Gionee Support.
1. WhatsApp "Hi" to this number : +91 8448895071
2. You will get two .apks from that number.
3. Install the two .apks and then reboot the phone.
According to the support person, it would take a couple of hours for the fix to work.

Hi, I have Moto X Style and since I've got the update for Marshmallow yesterday the Caller ID is not working and it's not showing me the contact that is calling me. After the call I can see them on the "Recents" page but when they call its not showing me their name and photo only the number.
After awhile I've noticed that the problems is only with numbers that are saved in my contacts with the country prefix code (+972-...) and when they call me the phone shows me the number without the prefix(without the +972), so I tryed to change one of the numbers to to be without my country prefix and it recognized the number but I cant change all of my contacts so the phone will recognize them.
Does anyone else is having the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

I saw this post before I posted my post and at first when I upgraded to Marshmallow the phone didnt recognize the contacts at all but after I signed out and reconnected to my google account as recommended there, it fixed only half of the problem. Now it's recognizing numbers that are saved in the "local form" with my country code BUT it's still just not recognizing contacts that are saved with my country code prefix in their number.

I have the same problem, the caller ID just doesn't seem to work, but in the SMS it kinda does

FOUND A SOLUTION THAT WORKS and IS SIMPLE !!!! The credit goes to Sasha Medv :
"What solved the problem: I removed all google accounts (in Google settings), and then added them back. After 15 minutes during which I was sure my contacts were lost forever, everything returned to normal, and I even can see the contacts in past calls in the call log. Yay"
no need to wipe partitions, import export your entire google contacts to vcf and other weird stuff - simply do what this guy say ! BAAM !
