I know this may have been briefly covered before in Dutty's thread, but 300 pages are a bit more than I want to re-read. Also this issue is present in the official HTC 6.1 rom.
When I receive an MMS from someone, it will either start a conversation with their phone number (even though they are a contact), or it will take an existing conversation and convert the name back to the contact's phone number.
I thought I read there was a way to fix this by formatting the phone numbers a certain way in your contact list.
If someone could tell me how to fix this, it would be great. Also a program that changes the format of phone numbers in bulk would be great to, if that's really what I need to do.
Apologies if there is a thread like this somewhere.
I assume everyone going to the 6.1 update will have this issue. I would imagine a sticky would be quite useful for this, unless there isn't some other kind of 6.1 sticky on issues already.

The ones in my addy book in this format +15555555555 show up with the name most of the time. Any other format they just show the number. It seems if i have no other messages from the sender, even formatted like above, they will just show the number. As of yet, I have found no easy way to fix it other than changing all my contacts.
As you have stated that there is a discussion about this in an existing thread you need to do into that thread and use the search function found next to "thread tools".
If you want to extract that info from the thread and either update the wiki or create a new "[SOLVED]" thread with it in the first post the whole community would be grateful.
Please don't create a new thread asking someone else to get the answer when you already know where it is.
Hi there,
It is always a difficult consideration, "shall I start a new thread on this?". But, I thought it would be good to have this information available to everyone. Please don't discuss specific ROMs or Radios in this thread. Just discuss the effects flashing has on your IMEI and/or Device ID.
Being new to flashing the following question came up. What happens to your IMEI and "Device ID"... (not "Device Name") when you flash a new ROM on your mobile. I asked this question in a specific ROM thread and the answer was... "not sure".
This may be an important question to consider before flashing your ROM. Example, my (paid for) Route66 GPS software and maps only work with my specific "Device ID". This is not the same as your Device Name. This Device ID is unique to your mobile (quoting Route66 support team).
This Device ID can not be found on the sticker at the back of your mobile below the battery. So, it seems to be some hardware or software generated number. On my mobile it looks like the following:
9934xx27xx089013B
(The xxx-es are just replacements for some other numbers.)
My IMEI number looks like the following
358xxx010xx4859
(The xxx-es are just replacements for some other numbers.)
I learned that the IMEI number on the sticker may differ from the one stored in your phone. If you press *#06# on your phone your 'stored' IMEI will appear. In my case the following showed up:
358xxx010xx485901
Note the additional two numbers not found on your sticker. Flashing your ROM or Radio can have an effect on these last two numbers I understand. They are some kind of version indication. So if you need to keep the same "full" IMEI number for some software to run on your phone the following question needs to be asked:
How will flashing the ROM or Radio effect your IMEI number?
How can we change the IMEI back to the original number?
Back to Device ID
In addition there are several questions unanswered regarding the Device ID.
Where does it originates from?
Will the Device ID change when flashing a ROM or new Radio?
Can it be changed back?
Do you have any experience with this? What effect did it have on your software? Did you compare your IMEI and Device ID before and after flashing? Do you know how to change the numbers back? Write in this thread please! (again I am new to flashing and if some of this information is not correct please let us know)
Thanks,
Moved this out of Rom Development as it has nothing to do with that topic, and would caution users against posting their IMEI numbers on a public site. That being said, please feel free to discuss the effects to your heart's content.
This page (click link directly below) was generated by the Spec Device app, running on the second phone in my signature:
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=5da0-f9af-35c1-ab480033c587
If it's not there, then the website may have moved it The title of the page should read, samsung GT-I9100.
There's a lot of information here, and I don't know where to look. As you can see after opening the link, none of the lines say, "Chipset name". That would be too easy.
To avoid any confusion, please refer to Owner's Comments for the phone's real name, as was given on its box.
The difference between this, and what you'll read under General Specs / Manufacturer / Model, is my own doing -- an attempt to get Google Play to stop telling me that apps compatible with Android 2.3.5 wouldn't run on my phone. When I sideload these "incompatible" v_2.3.5 apps, they run just fine. I thought letting my phone identify itself as a more-common brand might help.
? Can anyone please point me to the line that gives this phone's chipset, and much appreciated if you could also decipher the abbreviation into a recognizable company name ? ?
Bump!
Ok, new to xda so thought if I posted here and it WAS in the wrong topic then at least I wouldn't make a COMPLETE idiot of myself.
I HAVE tried looking and because I'm male (genetically inferior) I just CAN'T find what I'm looking for!
I AM looking for a post that lists a typical build file for say a standard Android tablet with a simple descriptor for each line.
I KNOW this sounds obvious, but all I can find are posts that say "this line can be altered to increase this" or " to stop that"
I am just looking to find a build file with simple remarks for each line.
F I can get this then I can then search each line MYSELF to finds out the specifics for the line I need!
An example would be...
ro.build.fingerprint ........ (Specific to a device and explains what carrier,os version,make etc)
This is just an example!!
I am NOT after a post which is specific to ANY device, just a list of "Commands" with variables for the commands that are commonly used in a "base" build file.
I KNOW it will depend on android version (as each revision CAN include new commands) so for a base line, I am currently using 4.4.2.
As I said, I'm new to xda and I'll probably get slammed for not finding the right postn(that probably already exists) but BELIEVE ME I HAVE looked where I thought I should.
Sorry for rambling.....
Richiety.
I was struggling with finding how build props are used and found searching for them in source code was helpful.
I even learned about some build.props I wasn't aware of that way.

Hello,
The Galaxy S7 has multiple variants and builds. Normally when asking this kind of question, you should include the model of your device. That way anyone wanting to help you actually has the knowledge to be able to do so. Phones have different internal parts, memory space, and so on. You can find your model number by doing the following:
- slide down the notification bar, sometimes you may have to slide down twice depending on the device. Click the gear in the upper right hand corner. "Settings"
OR
- Access your app drawer or all apps section and find your "settings" section/app. Most of the time it will have a icon of a gear, or three lines that resemble on off switches. Older androids sometimes use just have three lines (as the settings icon)
- Find the section labeled "About Device / Device Info" its usually labeled something similar if not exactly. Open this section
(Galaxy phones usually have this section at the bottom of your "settings" section)
- Somewhere within this section, there will be a label that reads "Model" and that is your specific variant which is needed in device specific situations.
* Take Note of this for future reference. You might think okay ill remember that. But when you come to realize your devices model number may be XDA-2017T1 and you look for something pertaining your device. You will also find something like this:
XDA-2017
XDA-2017YP
XDA-2017YP2
XDA-2017T0
XDA-2017T2
XDA-2017T10
Assuming that you will continually update and/or customize your phone. You will probably just memorize this, along with other important information. Some important things you should include while researching is as follows (the top two are very important)
1. [Model Number] ex) XDA-2017T1
2. [Android Version] ex) 6.0.1 Marshmallow
3. [Baseband]
4. [Kernel]
5. [Chipset]
6. Is device "rooted?"
7. Is the bootloader unlocked?
8. GSM or CDMA. Older devices even use IDEN
Those are only some.
* I also want you to know that im not trying to lecture you, or give you a hard time. I am honestly trying to help you and in order to successfully help you I have to ensure that you know things, or mention things, that is important to do. So your device isnt broken, or you get information that is correct but incorrect for your specific device.
But back to the topic originally referenced.
Q) "Is the program Dr. Fone able to bypass the screen lock security measures on the Samsung Galaxy S7?"
A) Based on limited information that is device specific, and the current Supported Devices section from Dr Fones documentation
"No"
• Dr. Fone doesnt have the capabilty to bypass your screen lock. They will probably include the S7 within a period of time due to it being a main stream phone though.
• Remember this; locks can and will be broken. Just because a vulnerabilty hasnt been exposed or discovered doesnt mean that its 100% secure.
• Keep current with OTA updates, keep in tune with tech type news.
• Encryption is vast subject, but I can refer to it like the "invisible magical ink" That was popular in the 90's. The light that reveals the ink to the naked eye, is your password. The inabilty to see the ink normally without a specific tool, would be encryption. So if someone cracked your password, your encryption would also be disabled. I linked more information below, for you to read. I still dont fully understand encryption myself, nor do I believe or trust it.
I based this information assuming your device is the SM-G930. It is accurate as possible but not guaranteed. Do realize with the information I mentioned and with the question you asked. I was able to do a simple Google search and almost immediately found the answers. Try to figure things out before you ask in the future. You can repeat the process of not researching prior to posting but typically your post will die. If you get stuck and have put forth honest effort, the great people here at XDA will probably help out greatly. I hope I have helped you, and you now feel better about your concerns. please pay it foward.
If you feel ive helped or gave a honest attempt to help. Hit the thumbs up, that is the thanks button.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot to mention the model of my S7, it is the SM-G930F on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, thanks for answering me.
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that a commercial program can unlock a phone.
I hope that this way of circumventing the locking of smartphones will be solved, because malicious people could use it to unlock phones that do not belong to them ...
The only way to protect yourself from this program is to install an application that protects personal data.
Thank you again for answering!
Wondershare Dr. Fonefor unlooking thr screen.
Wondershare Dr. Fone is a powerful instrument to regain iPhone lost information, it can help scan and recover them from iTunes or iCloud copies in case you've got backup your iPhone into iTunes or iCloud, or it helps you regain contacts directly from the device. Besides it's harmonious with iPhone 5s/5c/4S/ / 4/3GS and it might recover 18 kinds of content such as pictures, videos, contacts, messages, notes, and phone log, voicemail, voice memos, calendars, reminders, etc.. :good:
I agree with you. A commercial program available for a few dollars can unlock a password protected phone. What is Android/ios waiting to solve this threat?
