Hi,
One of my friend lost her smart phone she did everything to block the telephone and all that. Now, somebody is using fake id with her name and had been using Whatsapp with her name and using her contact number.
Is there any way to deactivate that account ?

When you lose a phone, first thing to do is inform all your contacts (via SMS from another phone) about the lost phone. If you do this, then all your associated contacts won't mind or ignores the messages or calls received from that number, as they'd be knowing its fake (I guess a Contacts Backup has been made into computer or synced with Gmail). And the next thing to do is, inform your Network/SIM operator and block the SIM. Anyways I'm still not sure, whether Whatspp will work on blocked SIM's or it just needs a working number at the time of its activation?! Have a look at these --> Whatspp FAQ, and see whether something mentioned on it helps.

well !! she tried contacting whatsapp support team through mail and the response is still awaited. The contacts have been informed about this but still using fake status and propagating wrong things about a person cannot be permitted.
I wonder if there is a way to deactivate the account using website or some software etc
I'm assuming you can't get a new simcard with the same number? And than have the old one in the lost phone blocked ofcourse. Cause than you could just reactivate whatsapp on a other phone which makes it unactivated on the lost phone.

I have an unlocked US variant S6 SM-G920T with Baseband (G920TUEU3COK1).
I have been using it on Tmobile without issues since Cyber Monday.
But now, randomly, when I get a phone call from a contact that is already in the phone, I see the number on the display rather than the contact name. After I either answer or reject or allow to go to voicemail, and then go look at the call log, the contact name is displayed. This is getting annoying as I keep ignoring calls that I would like to take ( and sometimes need to take).
Only thing I've tried is to clear data and clear cache in the contacts app.
Phone is not rooted. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Couple of questions:
1) Is it all contacts, or just some?
2) What type of contacts are they? Phone contacts, Gmail contacts or some other account?
All my contacts are stored in Google. So they were synced when I setup the phone. The issue seems to be random, but more often than not. I tried clearing the data in the phone app as well. No luck.
Thanks.
Update: I have just seen that this issue is for all incoming calls when the phone is in a LOCKED state.
When the call comes through while I am using the phone the contract shows fine with the name.
But still no solution in sight.
I love this phone for so many reasons, but there are too many times I've sent a SMS (either in Messenger or Honor's stock app, Messaging) and the send fails. If I try again, it'll usually go, but I don't think it should ever happen. Any ideas?

try checking the message center number etc in message settings. Cal your operator to confirm. Might happen when you switch to a new phone.
please read
check message center number if not entered call your service operator and ask for number also check mobile network,
no issue with phone problem is with your sim card
I've had this issue more and more with Android. It is very quick to decide there is no connection and will fail to send. Had this happen many times with both this phone and Nexus 6p.

Check APN settings with your mobile operator.

Yes. Make sure your APN settings on the device match with your service providers. Call them directly to confirm this #. [ns]
I have same issue with Cricket. Huawei support was no help. Basically told me clear the cash and check APN. I use Cricket and there is no option to change it.
I guess I need to stick with Facebook app for messaging

have you tried resetting APN? or factory resetting?

Is that app region specific? I suspect it is and depending on your device version it might conflict.
Was there ever a resolution to this problem? I'm getting the same thing on Fido in Canada with the correct APN, correct message center number and the amount of time to factory reset. And the time it would take me to set everything up again on this phone would take far too long for me to justify a factory reset.
This issue just started today for me, I've had the phone for a while now... Maybe 2 months
I suffered the same problem. I gave up and ended up installing the non-bloated Google's Messenger application to send SMS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging Now I have fully working SMS'.
i have problem in sending sms. SMS NOT SENT appears. actually first time when i was sending an sms then i received an option please tick, to not send, it will cost, and i also tick on another option that KEEP ALWAYS my PRIORITY mean not to send an sms from my phone if it costs. now i cant sms to check my balance or any other information. plz help
I bought a brand new s7 edge, USA unlocked version (no carrier specific) and activated it on PP. I had to buy a Pp nano SIM as my previous phone, a verizon S5 , used a micro sim.
Activation went smoothly. My phone rebooted and "programmed" the SIM and I was immediately able to make calls, use data, and send and receive messages.
Then a few hours later, when sending SMS texts, my phone would get stuck sending texts, then after a few minutes report that the message could not be sent. I could retry over and over and it keeps failing.
Now for the strange parts..
1. The recipient is actually getting my texts despite my phone reporting it wasn't sent.
2. Sms works normal if I am on a call when I hit SEND.
3. Mms works normal in all situations.
So I have tried many things.. restoring to defaults, clearing system cache, resetting phone to factory defaults in bootloader.. Turning 4g data off, turning wifi off, and pretty much anything else you might find a on google search. .nothing solves it. I spent hours on PP support calls who had me do everything again, they reset / reprovisioned my sim which made it activate again.. still nothing.
It's driving me crazy getting 100 failed message errors a day.
I am thinking next I may try getting a new Sim.
Another option might be setting up a SIP caller app to use for messaging, like Csipsimple, but I'm not sure what settings to enter for pageplus, or if they even support SIP text & calls.
Please help! Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hello,
try clearing the data of the sms app
or else try another app from play store to see if the problem is from the buildin app
Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that yes I have tried that as well. I have cleared the SMS data several times and tried a couple different SMS apps like Google messages, Facebook Messenger, and a few others. They all have the issue.

Thanks! I think you are right about the root of the problem. However the solution may not be so simple for me. The command *#*#INFO#*#* does nothing on my phone. I'm trying to find another way to edit that setting but having trouble. I'll keep searching but it sounds like a new SIM car might also solve it?
First take out your sim and check if its OK my friend asked me about an exact same issue with a note 3, I told them to take out the sim and try another one, we came to know that the sim was damaged by a way or another

Thanks, I'm happy to order another SIM, however one thing that confuses me is how would the SMS go through fine when I'm on a phone call? If the message center number or sim were corrupted shouldn't it fail on a call as well?
Hello again, a corrupted SIM will surely cause both messaging and calling issues, i may recommend to test another SIM to check if the problem still exist, it yes, then it's from the SIM
and no, the message center isn't related to calls

But I would like you to check another sim if available, since it's more like a phone problem and not a sim hmmmmm
Unfortunately I do not have another sim, so I ordered a other one to try and activate with.
Got my new SIM card and activated it today, still having the same problem.. ?

Hope, any more ideas? I'm fresh out!
Is there some way to use a SIP or similar app to send SMS through using my normal number?
Or how about rooting my phone to try to hack the message center number or maybe the SIM card ?

Did it happen after an update ?
my question is are you trying to send to your friend or to a premium number such as a service provided by your carrier ?

No it did not happen after any update, and no premium messaging of any kind.
Again the message does get to the recipient, its just my phone giving me the false error that it wasn't sent.

Try turning both WiFi and mobile data and trying to send
------
1.Install Handcent SMS
2. go to send message settings > delivery report
3. Here you can delete undelivered conversations and end your "messages not sent"
This app seems to work also.
----
Also check your network signal
---
Do another factory reset and try handcent again

Have done all of the above, still not working .. haaaalpp
With Handcent I can set it to not vibrate or set off my message notification sound on failed messages, which helps.. but I still get the popups saying it failed.
Again I have to stress that messaging works fine when I'm on a call, where mobile data is not available.. but if I disable mobile data while not on call, it still fails to send. Surely this must suggest a possible solution, although I am not adept enough in Android to say what that is..
Hello,
Message app > settings > more settings
can you capture what do you got there ?
My phone is displaying incorrect number on *#*4636#*#* menu. I think because of that reason I'm unable to update my SMSC number and hence not able to send messages.
Can anyone one suggest me what to do, as for using banking applications I need my sim to send messages.
I don't want to reset my phone as in case it didn't worked, a few apps I Have been using for transactions will not be able to use them as well.
I have tried everything, nothing worked maybe because the phone is detecting an incorrect number, I tried to put the sim on various other phones, all are detecting it with that incorrect number.
Please help, Thanks.
