New to this community. Long time lurker. This site has come in clutch many times for my smartphone needs. I have a Note 5 & after searching the web for a way to bypass the FRP all i found was outdated methods and other ways the wouldn't worked for me. I have a OTG USB flash drive (not the cable) and I'm unsure of what firmware my phones on. Im not even sure of the model number as well. I'm also on mac and was wondering if there is a way to bypass the FRP or a way of figuring out the model number or firmware so that i can potentially rollback the firmware and use a older method.
have active sim inserted
emergency call 112
when connected to call swipe right or left
and select messages
send a message to a random number 1234
in that message send a link to the web
if you got this far PM me

Hi all,
I found this site by searching on this question. I have a friend that needs to block a number. As many of you know the cell companies will not block numbers. In looking around I've found programs that you can load into win based phones that will accomplish this. These smart phones are a little out of their price range. I want something that will just disconnect the call. The silent ringer to voicemail will not work in this case as the person leaves highly insulting messages and they would rather not have to go through 20 messages to get to the one good one.
i have found some references to Nokia phones that have this option on their phones under the "Security" section. I went to the Verizon store but the counter help was worthless. None of the phones that they had on display (that I could look at) had that feature. I'm thinking its a newer version of firmware thats not loaded by verizon by default.
Is anyone here using a phone on the verizon network that has the ability to add numbers to a blocked list? If so can you please post the name and model number of the phone. Please also post if you had to download a new/different version of the phone firmware. I'd like to get my facts straight before I recommend anything to them. Maybe a smartphone is the only way to go.
thanks for any information you can provide
Not a phone, but good software...
PocketMax PhoneAlarm allows you to block any numbers that you choose to blacklist. It has an option for pick up/hang up (immediate - phone doesn't even ring) as well as send straight to voice mail and/or reply via SMS. (It will also block text messages.)
I use it and swear by it. hth
There are plenty of programs out there that will block calls and sms.
Search for "BLACK LIST" or "BLOCK" in Windows Mobile and you'll turn up alot of them.
thanks for the reply's guys. At this point a smartphome is a little out of her price range. If it keeps up I'll just spot her the cash once i get a few checks in the bank. She's good for it
I'm also gonna pop into one of the bigger verizon stores around here and browse their phones to see if i can find the elusive block feature
I use my blacklist in SPB Phone Suite, then shoot it over to youmail.com where they hear a "your num. is blocked" message then hangs up on them.
I use the HTC Sensation XE
GREAT PHONE! I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab and tried the Iphone and the Motorolla Razr. and find the HTC to be simply the best.
At first my battery was draining fast but now I see an improved duration after having it fully discharge and charge 4 or 5 times.
I use email check every 5 min, wifi and bluetooth always on, along with the HSPDA network.
Anyway, I have just one "hicup". The stock email client is very good but I cant find the option to "search" for an email by sender or subject... Have I missed something?
The phone numbers are not recognized, that's weird: all of them are in the phone book under " + country code and phone number"
But i receive calls without the country code and without the name of the associated number. I also receive messages from known people when their number is registered with the country code and unknown when they are registered without the country code....
Which means it needs the country code to recognize the sender of a message but they call, they are not recognized because their number rings without the country code
Any help?
Hi,
I have a problem that someone here might be able to help me with. I have recently moved between countries (say from country A to country B). I keep WhatsApp under my phone line in country A, because the vast majority of my contacts use that number to contact me. I still pay a small monthly fee to keep the line. Initially I had no problems with WhatsApp, I simply inserted the new SIM card from country B into the phone I brought from Country A.
However, now I have bought a new phone (Moto X 2013 (=no SD slot) and I am trying to link WhatsApp to my usual number, in country A. Even though I still own that line, I can't receive any SMS/calls from it in country B. Unfortunately, WhatsApp doesn't let me use alternate methods of verification. I am stuck with using my old phone (Galaxy s3 mini) for WhatsApp.
Is there a way to move WhatsApp from my old to my new phone, in a way that no verification is required?
I have the same problem with Telegram, but (unfortunately) my contacts use WhatsApp the most.
Both phones are rooted. The new one has the bootloader unlocked. I am willing to tweak these features if necessary ( I will need proper guidance though, I have never played wit them before).
Thanks
Hi guys,.
I bought samsung galaxy s6,

Thanks

The IMEI # should be on the back of the phone. Text is pretty small.
^ What he said.
Backside of the phone, at the bottom.
You can find both IMEI and S/N there (Very transparent text though so not easy to read)

Cool, but I don't know what format it needs to enter on Samsung website, I registered a Samsung account and try to register this phone but when I am entering and clicking submit its not accepting it, if I need to include slash(/) in imei number which I enter and also how many digits long IMEI numbers are.
Thanks for reply fuya
You should only need to type in the 15 digits

Thanks
Hello,
I observed that my Samsung S7 does not block calls from my other Samsung A20e (different phone number, of course) and vice versa. I have entered the phone number from the A20e in the address book on the S7 and then ticked that number to be blocked. When I call my S7 from my A20e, the S7 rings as usual and the caller's details (from the A20e) appear as usual. The same happens (on both devices) when somebody else calls either of the devices, despite he is on the list of blocked callers on both devices. This is not as it is supposed to be.
The S7 is stock Android 8.0.0, rooted, whereas the A20e is stock Android 10, non-rooted (the OS/root status on the A20e should not matter, though, for the S7).
Actually, I do not want to install a caller blocking app, since this should work out-of-the-box. But, alas, it currently does not.
Does anybody of you have the same experience on the S7 and maybe even found a solution? Thanks a lot for your hints and help!

Tap phone icon, tap recent, tap number from A20e, tap info, tap block.
Block the number in both its forms, dialing local and dialing internationally. Example 07917348408 (local) and +447917348408. (International)

When I try to add the local number, a (red) message appears under the line with the to be blocked local number, saying:
Number is already blocked.

I.e., I cannot block both numbers (local and international). The dialer app obviously recognizes them being factually the same. Hmm, I am lost, it seems...
PS1:
I tried something different: I added the local number to that contact, so it has both - local and international. Interestingly, in the list, the "blocked" icon immediately appears for both the local and international number format. In the list of blocked contacts, the contact appears as just one contact (as I would expect) and only with the international number format. Now I have to try calling, but have to leave now for a while. I will report later, if that helped.
PS2:
Nothing helps so far, i.e. even after adding the same phone number with different format in the list of blocked contacts, the call gets through. Very strange, isn't it?
Has somebody observed the same problem and found a solution?

Then it's a network issue, the number isn't being tagged as blocked on the network.

What do you mean with "tagged as blocked on the network"?
The call gets to my phone and there it should be recognized as a to be blocked call. Where exactly do you suspect the problem? Is it something with the provider or (as I suspect) locally on my phone?
If the problem is on my phone (actually on both a Samsung A20e and S7, both with different Android versions), I wonder if it is a problem with Samsung's phone app or something else that interferes. Do you have a hint how I could narrow this down?
Again, thank you very much! :good:
