[BUG in Marshmallow?] Accidentally blocked premium messages - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidentally tapped 'NEVER ALLOW' when asked to choose between 'ASK AGAIN', 'ALWAYS ALLOW' and 'NEVER ALLOW' for premium messages and I can't seem to find the setting in the settings to change it back. I am on Marshmallow. Anybody can help? Thank you.
EDIT: I installed Google Messenger and when I tried to send a premium message, I got the same popup again but this time I pressed ALWAYS ALLOW and everything worked fine. Although, the normal Messages app is still blocked from sending these premium messages. Here is a screenshot of this popup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I need to change the setting on the normal Messages app. I can't seem to find the setting and it most probably is a bug in Marshmallow.

The only fix I could get is to factory reset. There's a missing setting which forces you to do so.
If you got this problem, your only option is to factory reset.

Yeap, there is a bug here. The only solution is making factory reset

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I was forced to download another application to send text messages, because i can't do factory reset yet. But, I've noticed that the lock works only on the number on which clicked "do not allow"

No there is a way to do it.
Found the solution.
Go to application manager
Then go to the top right to more then hit show system apps
Then go down to messaging services
Once you're in there go to the send premium sms and select always send.

Help with Skype (I searched first)

Simply put, I cannot get Skype to work on my Touch Pro.
I can use it to chat, but the option to talk is there, but I cannot select it.
I found a few instances of this happening on Windows Mobile 6.1 around the web, but no consensus on how to fix it.
Can you elaborate a little as to why it does not work? What happens when you open? Have you tried the obviouse which is to uninstall and soft reset and re-install? Throw a little more up so we can help you. _SDL
I did try to uninstall and re-install complete with a soft reset, yes. I also tried this with both versions of Skype mobil offered on Skype.com.
Basically, when you launch the program, a list of your contacts are displayed.
I can click on a contact and bring up their detailed information.
However, I can only click to chat and cannot click to talk. The image below is taken from my home computer as I do not have the screen capture feature installed on my phone. Now on my phone the red phone icon would be grayed out and you are not ale to click on it to do a voice call. You are able to fully click on the chat icon, though.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have the same problem, I think.
You can sign in OK, but all of the contacts appear off-line (even though I know they are not). If a contact is selected, the chat button is enabled, but the voice call button is disabled.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no effect.
I tried changing the options (Wifi on/off, etc). No effect.
Yes, exactly.
Sorry I cannot edit my post to fix the image, but I keep getting a server error.
Doh!!!
The answer was that I had my status set to "offline".
Set it to "Online" and it works OK (except that it uses the back speaker - that's the next thing I need to get sorted).

[Q] Re-enable location services consent?

Hi All,
I'm have been banging my head in search for this option but not able to figure it out. Few days back, I had accepted the following popup and also selected don't show again checkbox:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I want to re-enable this popup for my mobile. Is there any setting I can change and get it back?
Another issue I am facing is that my phone cannot remember the last selected "Location mode". Everytime I switch on location by dragging the slider, it goes to "high accuracy" mode instead of previously selected "device only" mode. Is this a known issue or am I the only one facing it?
I am on Stock Lollipop rom - LRX22C.
Thanks.
It defaults to high accuracy when you switch it from off to on again. As for how to re enable the pop up message, im not sure how to do that, besides flashing the system image that is.

Thanks for confirming. Can you help me with one more thing please, if we select "Disagree" on this popup, does it go to "Device only" mode? Unfortunately I am not able to test it out on my phone right now, and could not get any concrete answers on google search either.
I'm talking to Google support for bringing back the pop-up. Seems like even they are not aware of how to do it, and trying to figure it out with me. Let's see.. I will post the resolution here once I have it.
Yup, if you select disagree it does go to device only.
Managed to figure it out myself. I have posted the solution here..

How to stop (SIM) pop-up messages from keeping the screen on indefinitely?

Hello everyone,
In my country, carriers would send those annoying pop-up messages (I think they're called class-0 messages?). This has been the case for a couple of years and they won't stop no matter what you do. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal with my previous phones; I just learned to ignore them.
However, with my A30s (which I've had for a few months), I'm facing a critical issue where the screen will turn on for the message and never turn off unless I close the pop-up or manually turn it off by pressing the power button. There are basically two types of those messages:
1) Ones that show up after a call is ended (very annoying but avoidable if I remember to close the message after ending the call):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Ones that show up randomly (sometimes at night while I'm asleep. Screen stays on overnight and drains the battery):
I couldn't even tell which app is responsible for displaying those messages. I checked the permissions for the messages app and the phone app, disabled the "draw over other apps" permission for the messages app, installed Google's messages app and set it as default (since I can't uninstall or disable the main one) but the problem persisted. I also checked the permissions for the "SIM toolkit" app but there were none. I tried disabling the notifications but the option was grayed out.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these messages?
Note: I want to avoid rooting the device or installing a custom rom.

Question The messaging app notifications not showing up on the lock screens AOD help needed?

Must have toggled some setting that I can't figure out and now my message app notification icon is not showing up on AOD All other apps like missed calls or FB msg are showing up normally
Any ideas?
They don't show on AOD, but what about the lock screen?
Is it all your text messages or just a specific one? I'd look under Settings>Notifications. Look around here, maybe you ticked something in here.
Also, you can try wiping the Messaging app as well. Your text messages will still be there, just have to set the settings up in the app again.

Thats what i mean they don't show on the lock screen I've searched under Settings>Notifications and everywhere else like 25x and can't find whats causing it.
It started after I setup a pattern lock screen and then deleted it and set it back to swipe to open

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it these options you have maybe changed to hiddel
If you use face unlock and give it authorization to go straight to the home screen without swiping it hides all the notifications on the lockscreen and makes little icons instead
