Can you get an itemised bill from your carrier? they usually list all the out going calls you have made

Vodafone Romania provides all your calls and sms info if you have an account on their site, if your provider has this option it would be easy for you to identify the number, but i guess you don't have that option, since you would have already though of that.

i recently changed my network. i am currently on prepaid plan(was waiting for a next gen nexus to come to the network before i sign a contract). I think asking them to send me a bill would be too much hassle(the number is worth the hassle but i was looking for a more immediate results) that is if i successfully manage to get through to a human being on what they call their 'customer service'.

Hi, i just got the S2 a couple days ago and it's an amazing phone coming from an Iphone3g.
I was wondering if it is possible to install 2 whatsapp program on the phone? the reason for this is that i have 2 cell phone numbers, one personal and one work. i switch sim cards on weekends. i have separate work and personal friends, i don't want them to interchange and know about my other numbers.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
from what i understand
when u switch the sim card whatsapp starts again like u just installed it
Yes i understand whatsapp still works when install new sim card in the phone, but the phone number does not change with the sim card. That's my problem and i hope an expert here can let me know if it's possible to have 2 whatsapp or advise me an alternative solution.
You could try moving the apk to /system/app and then installing one from the market (/data/app). I've never tried anything like this so I'm not sure if it'd work.
Why don't you mail the developer...

So i guess its not possible to install 2 whatsapp, i'll email the developers to see if they have a solution.
Thank you everyone.
From experience....
I switched sims....and whatsapp thought i was still on my old number...until I was bothered to re-install it.
There have been a lot of whatsapp updates since then.. don;t know if it still works like that
I have 2 numbers and 2 phones and that works becuase each phone has its own gmail account therefore its own apps market.To have 2 WhatsApp on the same phone with different numbers probably might work if you put another gmail account in "My Accounts" and see if it can sign in and open its own apps store account but 2 WhatsApp on the same phone wont work if they share the same gmail/market account.
Ironmit,
Yes it's still the same, switching sim cards does not change whatsapp number.
Thank you everyone, i have emailed the developers and waiting for their reply. i will post results as soon as they get back to me in case anyone has the same problem as me.
Same problem need two whatsapps in one phone

TB's App Profiles Feature?

Titanium Backup has a feature called App Profiles which basically allows you to have "two (or more) instances" of an app installed on your device. So you would create a new profile for WhatsApp and sign in with your 2nd number. Then if you want to go back to the 1st number, just switch back to the first profile. I'm not sure if that would work as I haven't tried it but that's an idea.
EDIT: I tried this out and it worked. You can even have a widget on your homescreen to easily and quickly switch between profiles.
Yes, the Titanium Backup App Profiles feature is a very good workaround, thanks for the tips halogen_guy.
Just one thing is when the profile is changed, the other phone number cannot receive messages. It would be great if we can make both numbers able to receive messages at the same time (dreaming).
Not complaining, at least I can use Whatsapp with my secondary phone number once in a while. I'm very happy now

No, i dont think it will work on non-rooted devices.
It needs Titanium backup to create multiple profiles and it NEEDS Root access

The mobile is able to receive sms but when trying to send a new message i get a sending..... status and that's all. The message is not send.
I have checked the Message center number it is Ok
When changing my SIM to another phone ......it works
I contacted VODAFONE to send the setup.....they did it but nothing
I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE.
Does anybody knows something?
Service stopped or anything?
Backup all your stuff and perform a factory data reset...it will fix the issue.

Hi snest,
I have the exact same issue, since 5th-Feb-2012. It seems to be related to the stock messaging app. Don't have a clue what went wrong, but it just stopped sending messages. I have no issues receiving though...
I've checked my logs and I didn't install anything. Perhaps I did some updates, I'm not sure...
I also called Vodafone PT to check if everything was ok, and it was.
So I decided to start my own testing in order to try to narrow down the problem.
1st test: different SIM. No go, same problem, which means the problem is on the phone.
2nd test: restore the latest ROM backup (CWM). It worked. I was able to send/receive SMS flawlessly. The only problem was the backup date... it was 2 months old. My bad.
--> At this point I realized that the problem was on the messaging app. Something messed with it.
3rd test: Install a messaging app from the market and re-test. So I flashed the current ROM back (I backed up just before test #2), and when it came up I re-tested. No go. Then I installed the Handcend Messaging app from the Market, tested, et Voilá. It works.
I tested the stock messaging app once again and nothing, but from Handcent works like a charm.
So it's proven: the problem is on the stock messaging app.
A hard reset will solve the issue for sure, but before going there I'd like to try to reinstall the stock messaging app, if possible...
If your S2 is not rooted yet, a hard reset is the (only) way to go. I don't see any other way to solve this...
Cheers
Hi, I had a similar problems a little while after I installed handcent. SMS stopped sending. I had done some messing around removing bloatware with titanium prior to that, so assumed it was something I had done. I went back and defrosted all the apps I had frozen, but SMS still not working :-( I then thought to reinstall handcent, after which the problem disappeared , so in my case it was the other messaging app causing the problem!
My advice would be to try a different SMS app and see if that fixes the problem. Might be enough to get things going again.

This was the reason why I installed Handcent - to try and "wake up" the stock messaging app. Handcent works flawlessly, but it didn't solve the original issue.
I never had any other messaging software installed before, and my bloatware was removed a long time ago (October 2011) right after flashing a new Android version (2.3.5). So this was not the root cause for the messaging app to stop sending sms...
Go SMS Solved the problem?
Hi All,
Thank your for your replies.
I installed the Go SMS and merely resolved the problem of sending SMS.
But still I can not sent via stock messaging apk .

Try clearing data from your Messaging app from menu > applications > manage applications.
Unfortunately cleaning data did not solve the problem.
Factory reset. Or do a clean flash of GB stock rom.
Same difference, pick your poison. You may not like it but that's the only thing that's going to fix the problem (unless it is a network/apn/sim problem).
Most probably the Message centre Number has got corrupted...
Do this..
Open messaging ... Menu... settings..scroll down to Message Centre..
Note down the number ...
Either contact the network service provider...or first check the network provider support forums...to see if the number is correct...
once this message centre number has been corrected..you should be able to send messages...
I dont use Go SMS... but if you see the number there...you can copy it to stock messaging app..
I forgot to update this thread... Sorry.
I managed to isolate the issue, and found that the problem was on the messaging app itself (mms.apk) that somehow got corrupted. I tried to reinstall from an old APK backup, but it got worse, it stopped working completely.
After several hours and many tests, I ended up restoring a 2 month old CWM image (equivalent to a Factory Reset). Then I fully restored a 2 days old backup (Titanium Backup) leaving out mms.apk. Problem solved.
In your case, my advice is:
1. Install Titanium Backup from the market and perform a Full Backup (to SD card, otherwise you'll just loose it);
2. Factory Reset;
3. Setup the basics, access the market, and install Titanium Backup;
4. Full Restore (all files) EXCEPT mms.apk.
This is the only way to have the messaging app to work again with minimum (acceptable) data loss. Good luck.
Excellent advice Mnico
Pls Help!!
Hello Guys!! I need some help here on how to be able to send sms. I tried using Handcent and Go SMS but to no avail. However, what confuses me is that I can send sms using a different carrier sim(Like Globe and Sun. Am wondering if im missing out on anything to make it work.

Hi macnaque.
Your problem is slightly different from the one that is being discussed on this thread... and a lot easier to solve as well.
It seems that your problem is due to a simple misconfiguration of the Message Centre number for your main carrier. Try the following:
- Boot the phone using your main carrier SIM. Then open the original Messaging app, and open "Settings". Scroll down to "Text Message (SMS) settings" and compare the number you have set under "Message Centre" to the one provided by your carrier. (you may need to check their website or call the customer support service to get it)
I had this same issue just 5 or 6 days after buying my S2. Somehow the last digit of the Message Centre number just... disappeared. Never happened again though.
Same issue fixed
I had the same issue on ShoStock rom on my SGH-I777, Put my sim in another phone and was able to receive messages just fine, BUt when I had my Sim out, I did a simple reboot on my phone and then put the Sim back in and rebooted the phone again and everything works just fine. I am pretty sure it had something to do with the efs folder and the IMEI number because when the sms wouldn't work, I could not open the efs folder but after the reboot and the sms working I can open the folder and view the contents,
I had the same problem. I tried everything and only installing rom by odin works for me.
So he wanted me to root his Samsung Galaxy SII and I did that and threw the first ICS ROM I saw on there. So I flashed Neutrino ROM on his phone and it worked fine and I noticed that he had no contacts.
Well I was like crap! And went to put it into recovery and restore the nandroid backup I had and it was bricked when I turned it off and I couldn't turn it on.
So I eventually fixed it and it's on some stock firmware but he still doesn't have any contacts.
I copied his entire Internal SD card to his computer, is there any way to recover the contacts?
I only learned after I deleted his phone that he had all of his contacts stored on the phone itself and not through google or his SIM.
I think the answer is "impossible" but if there is any chance I could fix his phone that would be cool.
' fix his phone ' is not the right term in my opinion.
What you could try is just doing an advanced restore of the nandrois backup with the data while using a STOCK rom but seeming as though I've never had this problem I'm not sure that it will work.

I tried to reboot into recovery and the phone stopped working and became bricked. I finally flashed a ROM on there with Odin but now the back and search buttons don't work and he can't make or receive phone calls.
I know it was the wrong ROM but I can't find the right one either especially for Odin restores.
Is your brother more physically developed than you? If so I recommend buying him a new phone and going around all his friends and getting their contact numbers. If not, pretend like he never gave you the phone and call him crazy.
Honestly, your explanation of the problem, like most threads, sucks. Nobody can help you unless they know exactly what you did, just try and restore the backup you made. You made it in CWM right? If you can't make or receive phone call though, that sounds like a worse problem. Wipe the phone and flash a stock ROM, that's the best advice anyone can give with the information you've supplied.
If contacts were synchronised with google you should be able to download them from google account. Hope this help.

Recently my s3 quit receiving text messages. took it to the att store and it started receiving texts so I thought it was good, well i then find out i was only receiving some texts. along with that i was not able to get any mms texts. put my sim into an my brothers iphone mms messages worked. called att, they say it must be a hardware issue and they sent me a new phone since mine was still under warranty.
So what is the best way to "copy" my phone to the new one? I dont want to simply copy my apps i would like to transfer everything, settings numbers, logs, everything I have setup on this phone for the last 6 months. I was thinking about rooting and doing a nandroid (done that before with my g1 and xperia s10). but since im sending it in if they find it rooted that voids the warranty right?
let me know what you guys think, and thanks.

You could always just reset counter, and flash stock rom which includes removing root.

Yes nandroid. Keep it on external sdcard.
And you will need to install stock firmware and unroot your device. Search on Google for unroot i9300 and you will get a xda forum topic that has video tutorial for how to unroot and reset binary counter as well as device state. You will need to reset all three and u r good to go.

ok been reading for hours for a third time... this time for more specific fixes/info...
i have a SM-N900v Verizon Note 3 on Straight Talk using AT&T towers.
took a little bit to get the right settings but its up and running. the stock settings on strait talk did not work.
anyways been using it for a few weeks now and for the most part works but here are the issues ide like to solve...
Contacts not working...
numbers comming in all have a + in front of them and are treated as international numbers +xxx-xxx-xxxx. with this the numbers dont match my contacts list so i dont see who is comming in and i cant just hit and call back.
* tried prefixer app doesnt work
* tried many settings in the call settings/assisted dialing there were 2 settings that seem3ed wrong and i fixed an left...city/area code was 157 i set 570 and national number length was 11 i set to 10
* Installed Twitch Contacts and had it clean up and change all my contacts to (National Format) (xxx) xxx-xxxx and all my incomming calls had contact names!! i thought i solved it... but not only did those calls call out as international but all my contacts anyplace did.. (sigh) so switched my contacts back to (International Format) +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx then i can dial fine but incomming numbers dont show or match up with my contacts again and they dial as internation calls.
* Changed fr4om global to manual and chose the at&t tower. nope.. changed back.
another issue
Phone Activation this sim card is from an unknown source...
i can kill it but comes back everytijme i start. can this be my issue with contacts? maybe it thinks im from outside usa since it can id the sim?
and...
Voice Mail Update...
Wont Go Away!!!! i have to kill it!!!
im not dumb... maybe real ignorant concerning cell phones... i have a computer repair shop and been in business 18+ years and i need to learn alot more since phones and tablets seem to be the computers of the future... and im already doing screen repairs but i need to learn more... so here i am... learn me =]
Not sure about the solution for the contacts, but for the SIM notification, if you are rooted, then you can freeze the VZW Setup Wizard app and that'll kill that. It might even help with the other situation, though not sure. If you aren't rooted, then killing it after each reboot is the only option.

ive never rooted a phone. can i trust towelroot? and what measures do i need to take to secure myself after i root?
it seems like after i root my note 3 there sould be a config file someplace i can change that would remove the + or at least set it to +1 wich i also think might fix this.

Yea, Towelroot is safe. It only works on those phones with the kernel date that is June or older. You'll want to install SuperSu https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu so apps can't get root permissions without you allowing it. You'll probably need to use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux if freezing or renaming the apk (I don't recommend uninstalling because you might need it again later) doesn't stick after rebooting. If you are worried about root after that (I wouldn't, but personal preference), you should be able to uninstall everything and use SuperSU to unroot and nothing else will be affected. This method won't trip Knox so your warranty won't be affected.
but i still havent found a fix for this... does anyone have know what files i need to edeit to fix this?
