[Q] SMS / Text Issues

Hello All,
Need Some Help. I am using Verizon Galaxy S5 in India. I am on Global Mode with Data Enabled. I am able to use Internet / Calls and everything else. The issue that I have is that I am not able to send out text messages / SMS messages. I tried through Hangouts and Samsung Messaging as well, but none works. I am able to receive messages but not send. The only way it works is that if put in the phone number directly without the country code.
For eg:,
If I want to send a text to 9800000001 then I can send only if I put in the number manually in the text message send menu. If I have that number stored in my phonebook with the country code +919800000001 then it is not sent. I cant update my entire phonebook to remove the country code from the numbers. So basically I cannot reply back to text messages received too as they come with the country code.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 - NHA Build - Rooted - Stock ROM.
TIA.

This is something that has been happening with all builds of 5.0. I believe it was fixed with 5.0.1 or will be with 5.0.2?

It seems there is no such build !

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900V/ acording to Sammobile there is no Build 5.0.1 , is there ?
I've also had this problem using my S5 on straight talk's lte network, which piggybacks off of verizon. The only 5.0 rom that works for me is the international version, but it's not a very good rom otherwise. I'd really like to use MOAR but not being able to send sms is a pretty big problem.
I had the same problem with my Verizon Galaxy S5 in Albania.
I could not send SMS if the number started with +355 (355 is Albania country code)
and all incoming SMS had the country code so it was really frustrating.
After 2 weeks of searching for a solution i found it in androidcentral
can't post the outside link so here is the solution.
It is simple, go to phone dialer > Settings > Call > Assisted dialing
Inside assisted dialing where it say Reference country select your country.
than edit Country code by adding a + in front of the number there.
You are done just don't forget to turn Assisted dialing On.
Thanks
Thanks Man. You really saved my day! No more unsent messages because of this reference country.

[Q] Incoming Number shows, no contact name though in CONTACTS

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 (SM-N910H) Unlocked.
O/S: Android 4. 4. 4.
MacBook Pro, APPLE Yosemite 10.10.2.
I upgraded from the SAMSUNG NOTE 3 to the fantastic NOTE 4. Awesome phone!
However (problem is not Carrier dependent):
All my Contacts are saved with the international dialing code format (+44 *** etc).
Local calls received, which come without the international dialling prefix, only number shows, no contact name though number is in my CONTACTS.
All SMS Text and all international calls are okay, as these come with the international dialling code and phone recognises the number and Contact.
Currently, the only workaround, which I find unacceptable, is to save the Contact name and number twice, once with the international dialling code, and another as it would be received as a local number.
This is unacceptable, as it would mean doing this for every single number I have, otherwise when I travel the overseas numbers (now local) would not show a Contact name.
So grateful if someone has a solution (without ROOTING my phone), otherwise I will have to give up my beloved NOTE 4.
BTW, I have on my phone 7,500 Contacts, never been a problem when I was using these SAMSUNG phones: NOTE 3, S5, S4, S3, and S2.
Please note: Phone is unlocked as all my phones are, and this issue is not Carrier dependent.
Just tested and added country code and gave it call , showed name without problem
Try this trick , remove your google account restart device and set it up again and restart again and see if this will work , happen similar problem before in note 2 that wont show numbers without country code

[Q] Contact Not Dsplaying

I recently upgraded from the SAMSUNG NOTE 3 to the NOTE 4. Awesome phone! Running: Android 4. 4. 4
But there is a problem:
All my Contacts are saved with the international dialling code format (+44 123 etc).
When I receives calls in my local area, which come without the international dialling prefix, only the number shows, no contact name though it is in my CONTACTS database.
Any SMS Text and all international calls are okay, as these come with the international dialling code and phone recognises the number and Contact.
Currently, the only workaround, which I find unacceptable, is to save the Contact name and number twice, once with the international dialling code, and another as it would be received as a local number.
This is unacceptable, as it would mean doing this for every single number i have, otherwise when i travel the overseas numbers (now local) would not show a Contact name.I have 7,500 Contacts, never been a problem when i was using the NOTE 3.
I understand from a couple of others using the same phone they are experiencing the same problem. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Please help

Contact list Bug

Hello guys,
i'm facing a strange problem with my s7 edge, it just mix the contacts number randomly. Many times i'm trying to call someone and when i do i found that it's not the one i'm trying to call!! after a deep look into my contact list i found that the phone is copying another contact phone number to another contact name, i will have two numbers under the same contact name, and when i press edit i just see the original number, the other number "the one the phone copy it himself" isn't there! i tried to show only my device contacts or google account contacts but still same problem.
Any ideas! thanks
This has never happened on my edge. Are you using any third party contact apps or dialers?
No just the regular contact app
