I just got an Honor 8 today (it's preowned), and after I inserted my sim card, Provision Messaging popped up. It asked me to allow it to make and manage phone calls. What is it, and what does it do? Why is it there? How can I get rid of it?
Please help.
Thanks!

Never heard of such thing. Perhaps messaging (sms) app asking for permission?

Hey it's very important. Provisioning messaging installs APNs for services like MMS. I got the same when I first installed my SIM. Just give the permission and allow it to install.

Thank you very much! I had never seen or heard of this before, so took away its permissions. I'll re-enable it. Thanks!

I recently flashed JB to my atrix 2 and i have the following problems :
1. Whenever I receive a text message, the app adds a prefix to the number (+40 in my case) and it won't recognize the person's name because they appear in my contact list without the +40 in front. How can I stop it from adding that to the number?
2. I tried overclocking using this method, but it won't do anything. I have a 1.0 GHz device (sadly) and i tried both 1.1 and 1.2, but they don't do anything. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
I also have a problem with the GPS, but I don't think there is a solution to this one, as i noticed that i'm not the only one.

1. Here's the problem. I already disabled Assisted Dialing and it worked for calls, but did nothing for texts. I have no idea why.
2. In the meantime, i found that post myself and it worked. Thanks !

Thats weird.. its working fine for me with text messages too.. Try a cache and dalvik cache wipe from custom recovery, maybe that'll sort it out..

Just did that. No difference. I'm starting to think that my only chance is to modify all the contacts to that phone number format I also tried with other messaging apps, but still no difference. This is frustrating.

Ok, I mightve found a solution to your problem..
Select Assisted Dialing in Phonebook/Settings/Assited Dialing and then Select your country code, this will automatically add the country code to all numbers (i think) and sort your problem.. Hope this works :good:

That also did nothing. I think there's no way to fix this but changing the numbers manually. Is there some software from motorola with which i can do this from the computer?
Also, thanks alot for trying to help me.

Hmmm.. Maybe if someone who hasnt messaged you yet texts, that name might be shown.. or you can delete that thread and ask him/her to message again..
Don't wanna extend this, im just assuming possibilities now.. hope things work out :good:

Do you have contacts database on your SIM Card?
-- If the answer is: yes - you sync these contacts with your google acount, and then erase the sim contacts, reboot, set your gogle account as defoult in People --> Menu --> Contacts to display. It's work for me.
-- If the answer: No. I dont have any idea.

Hey Folks,
The story starts with this:
I started my whatsapp in Sydney when I was studying offshore. Obviously it is a +61 number with my GNEX. Now, I have graduated and now back to my home country using a new +852 sim. I have no issue using my +61 number for my whatsapp with my +852 sim.
But now, N5 is coming I will be one of them to rush for the phone.
The problem is:
Once I get my N5, I will have a new phone but not the +61 sim (at least not functioning), I would not be able to get pass the verification later on even I root the phone and uses titanium backup...
Seemed not too related to N5 itself, but just wondering any workaround from the great XDA members and developers =]
Cheers,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I tried restoring WhatsApp with Titanium Backup, it doesn't asks for verification anymore. This was several months ago though, so I'm not sure if it still works just fine now.
Just make sure the app is on its latest version from the play store before creating a backup, and cross your fingers :fingers-crossed:
If all else fails I guess you can use your Galaxy Nexus as a wifi only device?

This only works if you're using the same SIM card / number, if not it will ask for verification.
The only way is to make a backup of your messages from within the app, then copy the folder "whatsapp" from your sd card to your new phone.

Actually, when I did that it was from an old Nexus S to my Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi). So I don't think it matters if I'm using the same SIM card since my Nexus 7 had no slot for it. Also I didn't copy the whatsapp folder on my /sdcard. Just a simple backup and restore using Titanium Backup did the trick.
Nonetheless, like I said it was several months ago. Not sure if it'll still work, but I think it's worth a try
If it still fails maybe try copying the whatsapp folder like adam1000rr suggested :fingers-crossed:
Thanks guys, I am now thinking of how whatsapp is detecting the verification need... if I am able to bypass this, titanium backup should work.

Hi mate, got your Nexus 5 yet? I am in the same situation in that my whatsapp was originally registered in HK (+825) on a Galaxy Nexus and I don't have access to my SIM card right now while I'm travelling. Tested today 03/11, it all worked fine for me on the Nexus 5, just make sure both phones are rooted so you can install Titanium Backup for this to work.

Hey buddy thanks for that, I managed to use titanium backup to get my whatsapp back online...
Nexus 5 just as sweet as kitkat (didn't have 32gb in hk tho)! Now I have Force close on wechat "people nearby" and go keyboard. Other than that, it is just perfect =]

Hi guys,
I have a new issue. Continuing my story... I managed to get my +61 number whatsapp account on my N5 via titanium backup but now I HAVE LOST MY N5! My heart broken and got one back immediately (32gb haha). Now the issue is, I do not have a titanium backup of my N5 (of the +61 whatsapp account data) but only my GNEX one (which obviously outdated). When I am trying to do the same trick, it asks me to verify my new N5. Obviously the sms verification does not work nor the "call me" verification.
I don't care about the whatsapp conversation anymore (as it would be impossible to retrieve as the history is stored in the phone itself due to the whatsapp nature). My little wish is to have my +61 number back as my whatsapp account....=[
Please, my fellow XDA Developers and N5 buddies, give me a hand... I could buy you guys a bear if there is a fix..
Thank you...

I only just started using Whatsapp -- I'm curious, what does it matter which phone # you have? Is the only reason to "recover" a phone # you don't actually have anymore the convenience of not telling all your friends about your new #?
My Oneplus gets "This is a lost phone" message intermittently every day with my loud ringtone. It stops when I press the okay button. This is despite me having it in silent mode.
Since this happens only during my office hours, where I have to leave my phone silent always, I am unable to investigate it rather than just press the OK button and it disappears.
I have my device manager activated in the phone. Thought it was previously my Theftie app which was activated, which I deactivated but the message keeps coming on every day.
Any way how to stop this?

next time as soon as the incident happens , can you check which wakelock was running ? Use wakelock detector app from google play.
It would be interesting which application is invoking this event !!
I did download wakelock detector but it says it needs root access since KitKat upgrade. Maybe will root it when time permits.
Meanwhile had another instance of the event, when I received a text from an number not in the Contacts. If I remember correctly, it happened yesterday as well when I received a text from a number not in Contacts list.
Really annoying that it happened during a meeting.

Got it in US, but I have now moved back to UK though.
Still have the same problem, but have figured out that it happens when I receive a text from a number not on my contacts list. Have not had a chance to root it though
Make a Backup and do a factory reset.

Just throwing out ideas here, are your Locations turned on ? Maybe since it came from the US and you moved to the UK it "sees" that you are not in the US anymore and that is why it is doing this ?

I do have the Location turned on most of the time. Even when I got it in US from oneplus directly, I have used my same UK sim there as well on roaming.
I have done a backup and reset and it sill happens!
Block the text number and uncheck the settings in device manager and change your gmail password. If it still works after a factory reset and make sure you do not restore your software. It sounds like what I do to my son when he does not pick up the phone I make it ring and I do it through device manager because I have his info...
Did you initially bought it from OnePlus, or did you buy it from another user?

How many text numbers can I block? SInce I am in sales, I get many calls and texts from numbers not in my contact list.
I have unchecked the settings in the device manager and deactivated it. Changed the gmail password a week ago as well, and the problem persists

Yes, done all that is possible. Only thing remaining is rooting the phone (i dont want to unlock the bootloader for that thought)
You could try doing a Backup und then a factory reset.

Quit sure you can block quite a few... If all of what we have suggested still does not work may I suggest you selling your phone and buying another one. Hey try putting sim card in another phone and see if that phone has the same result
So I downloaded an app that allowed me to spam sms to someone however upon uninstalling it I have discovered that I no longer can send sms messages from my device. They don't mark them as failed or anything they just never are received on the other end. I imagine that somehow the smsc gateway settings got changed but I can't find out how to view it or change the value.
I don't want to have to factory reset my phone but I will if all else fails. Can anybody help?
btw I have boost

I am a little bit confused here. And the app you are talking about somehow was interferred with your original sms app? Look you need sms service and sms app. Perhaps worth extracting from kdz. I might dig those out for you. For example myself, I am using the messanger and services from Marshmallow AICP even on my GF2 and it's working like a charm. The thing is if you haven't srewed the services up, bro.

Issue solved. So I have two sims in the device. Main is att, secondary is Verizon. My att media text wasn't coming through when I had Verizon selected for data. As soon as I put att back for data it worked.
