[Q] Number Blacklisted from Text app, no password to unblock

Stock Evo Stock txt msg app
Long story short. A friend got blacklisted on a friends Evo by her jealous bf. She cant figure out how to unblock since its asking for a password. Im thinking he must have typed a password, so any way around this?

It's blocked in the phone and not with Sprint? If that's the case then I'm sure a factory reset will do the trick.

Correct, its blocked within the app only.

I honestly had no clue we could even do that. I'm digging through my Evo trying to find that option, not finding it.
Are you 100% sure it's part of the messaging app? Could you tell me how to do it?

Its through the messaging app, its not my phone. Im just trying to help this poor girl In stock app its under settings somewhere, Im running CM6 so cant replicate this.

Have you seen it with your own eyes or are you just relaying info that came from her? I'm digging through this thing and I can't find it anywhere. Also, I don't know why you would need a password to unblock someone on your own evo.

Sounds like Handcent...

Can you block handcent from being seen as an app on the phone?
And could you possibly delete the contact, and just make a new one? (Will that work for sprint blocked and handcent blocked?)
could deleting handset (if found on phone) fix this issue since she doesn't know such password?

Can you, probably. More likely it's the widget she knows to use and doesn't realize it. Walk her into the applications under settings.
And could you possibly delete the contact, and just make a new one? (Will that work for sprint blocked and handcent blocked?)

Won't work if sprint blocked the ten digit number.

My bet is yes.

[Q] WhatsApp and exchange unit

Guys, good morning!
hope you can help me but I found a problem when trying to install WhatsApp again.
By switching device and install WhatsApp on my new phone with the same phone number, it says I can only use the same phone number in one unit.
I searched the internet and saw that when you install WhatsApp several times, it blocks that number and you can no longer use it.
Does anyone know any solution to this problem?
Thank you in advance for all the help

Maybe its bcoz you are still logged in on ur old phone,thats why its saying you can use this number in only one unit(device)

I did a factory format on my old phone ... researching the developer's website it says that when it does many installations it can block the account ... I believe it was this ... is not there any solution? thanks once again!

I haven't heard of any blocks from whatsapp, are you trying with the Google Play download?? If that's the case you should try downloading from whatsapp page, there is usually a slight newer version.

[Q] 4.2.2 Voice Text Not Working - help!!

Just installed 4.2.2 on my VZW GNex, using a stock, rooted rom.
Now the feature where I could say "Text Bill - Hi I'll be there soon" and it would generate a text message is not working. It correctly translates the text but just does a google search.
Am I missing something or a setting ?
Your help is much appreciated.

How are you attempting to do this so I can try and do it myself? I dont ever start texts that way.
EDIT: Actually, i think its part of Google Now.

Thanks.
Press and hold the mic button so it comes up (from the regular google now) and say
Send Text to xxxxxxxx Please call me back
It should generate a text message.

You tried it in Google Now right? Or from your homescreen, if you have the search bar enabled at the top, tap the mic and start speaking. You said tap and hold the mic botton. I dont know what button that is and I wouldnt think to tap and hold it.

Yes that is how I use it. I have found others having the same problem, many others not.

Hmm. Maybe it has something to do with some settings somewhere. Maybe some kind of sync option that allows it to know your contacts. In all of my google settings for all of my apps, I give Google access to everything. I'm not worried about them stealing my info. lol. So maybe its some odd setting you need to change.

I am open with Google also.
and guess what, all of a sudden it's working.
I wonder if there was a google hiccup sometime or other.
Who knows.

Works perfect for me though. Even I had a problem last night. Apparently it's fixed.

S20 just wont get home up or chat features.

i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters

Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

I havent found a work around yet. Ive tried a bunch of different stuff and no luck. For now im using google messages with chat on to make sure i get all the texts. Ill keep trying different things every few days to see if it ever changes.

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.

Huawei video notifications

Try looking for the culprit app then go to notifications and disable.

Thanks. Yes, that's what I normally do. But I had checked the apps list twice before posting my question, and it was not listed there. I checked again just now, and wouldn't you know it: there it was in the apps list. I must be getting senile
