Hello,
New Galaxy S6 Duos doesn't show names from address book, just the phone number.
The problem exists for two different mobile operators.
No duplicate entries in Address book.
Address book is set to show only names from Google account.
Full factory reset, deleting Google account didn't help
All phone numbers are written in the format: +XXX XX XXX XXX
Worked fine on several different phones.
Numbers written in the format 0 XX XXX XXX are recognised and name from Address book is shown.
Bug in the dialer SW?
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback!
In the meantime I managed to upgrade to latest FW using Smart Switch (not sure what Emergency Recovery is).
Now I have:
Android version: 6.01
Baseband version: G920FXXU3DPBT
Build Number: MMB29K.G920FXXS3DPDH
I was very optimistic when I saw new version exists, however the problem still here (
Don't know if I should start all over again... factory resets, Google account deletion, etc...

When you're in the Smart Switch app, in the top right corner there's "MORE" click on it then click on "Emergency software recovery and initialization" then you'll see two tabs, click on "Device initialization" and follow the steps.
Your phone must be in download mode and must be connected to the computer, it doesn't have to show you that your phone is connected, just proceed.
Good luck.

You're right, yesterday I did "Emergency Software Recovery", not "Device initialization"
Today tried Device initialization.
Couldn't go through checking Model name and Serial number.
It keeps saying: Please check model name and S/N, and enter them again.
Btw if I intentionally misspell SN, message is different: Unable to find model name, S/N... on the server...
I took S/N from label on the back, also checked via *#06#, they coincide. It's S/N, not IMEI
One more detail. Back label says model name is: SM-G920FD, while in Settings it's: SM-G920F.
Smart Switch doesn't recognize SM-G920FD, only SM-G920F.

It says SM-G920F because you probably have a ROM which is for this model and yours is supported.
Eh, you sure you typed the correct S/N with CAPS? (Do it with caps)

I saw somewhere mentioning the bug Samsung SW incorrectly identifying phone model, this could explain...
I tried SN many times, with CAPS, yes.
I definitely put it right, I think it was recognised but was associated with different phone model.
As I said, when I intentionally misspelled it the error message appeared immediately.

After (quite) some time the picture is more clear now )
The problem was resolved only after I flashed European firmware.
Recently I bought S8 (SM-G950FD, region BRI - Taiwan) - the same problem. And the same scenario - nothing helped until I flashed European fw.
Looks like Asian Contacts app cannot parse correctly phone numbers that look like +[country code] XXXXXXXXX, while European app can.
Hello everyone.
Sorry if my questions are silly, I'm quite new here... and I need some explanations.
I bought a phone ( reconditioned, on PriceMinister) that I'm having some trouble with.
The main issue is that IMEI (MEID) written on the back of the phone does not match the one shown when i dial *#06#. Still, the S/N is the same.
Also the model written on the back ( SM-G920F ) does not match the one when I enter Odin mode, ( SM-G920P)
1) Is it safe to name my IMEI N° here or elsewere on the net ?
2) Is it possible that I changed this IMEI myself, being unaware of what I was doing while flashing TWRP, or some ROM that I randomly tried ??
3) What tools can I use in order to know what is really the model of my phone ( TWRP SM-G920F alias zerolfte does not work, but zerofltespr does. Still the Pi3 ROM works when I state the model being SM-920F !)
Thank you for your suggestions.

My friend got his phone's frp locked and the phone wont go past the Samsung logo. Like a good friend, I took his phone and flashed it with stock ROM from androidmtk. It boots up fine. After loging in with previous id, The network doesnt work. The imeis in *#06# are generic and different than the imei in the back. I think the firmware is not the right one. The phone doesnt have any network bar and in "Emergency calls only: mode.
What can I do? I am not that good with these stuffs. I used odin to update Galaxy s7 successfully once.
I would appreciate if you guys can drop a link to appropriate firmware.
Model: J710FN/DD
FCC ID: A3LSMJ710FN
SSN: -J710FN/DDGSMH
Also if there is anyother way to recover imei please let me know.

I have two Samsung Galaxy S6 phones. One is with its original hardware. The 2nd one has a replacement motherboard bought from a vendor on Aliexpress. It mostly works except the Samsung Galaxy Store refuses to run. In CPU-Z, the 1st phone's model is reported as being a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T). The 2nd phone is reported as "BASIC (zerofltetmo)". I believe this may be related to being unable to use the Samsung Galaxy Store. Any idea on how to fix the model or my problem running the Samsung Galaxy Store?
very strange
please post :
- Service provider SW ver :
go to :
setting/about phone/software information/Service provider SW ver
and
post the 5 first characters of your S/N and i'll will decode it
regards
Thanks for your help!
Here's what I have:
about your S/N :
about Service provider SW ver
if you have not someting like this

or maybe with :
- device version:
on dialer : *#1234# or *#12580*369#
it's difficult to ansewer
I went to:
setting/about phone/software information/Service provider SW ver
and got the attached screenshots.
I don't see a Service provider SW ver.
I dialed both strings
*#1234# or *#12580*369#
And get "Not registered on network"
Let me try putting a valid SIM in the phone.
I put a valid SIM in the phone and was able to make phone calls. But nothing else changed. In particular, setting/about phone/software information/Service provider SW ver gives the same result.
sorry but very hard to help you more and why the second device have not acces to the galaxy store
Thanks for trying.
As a followup, I decided to start from scratch and reinstall the entire ROM using an image downloaded from samfw. It worked! Everything looks normal now and the phone is much more reliable.
