The easiest way i found is to edit the contact and place the whole name in the 'first name' section.

the wwhole name is already placed int he first name section and the problem remains

this will not help coz the phone sees the space as a distinction bet 1st and last names.wahat he needs is a simple app called "file as FL".im not sure where you could get it but do a search.you might get lucky!

Make sure the name goes to the proper first name, last name field in Outlook Contacts.
And on the editing screen in Outlook, there's a {File as}
Make sure it shows:
John Wane - club
instead of
- club, Wane John

thx a lot guys, I'll try that.

That is normal. Android phones require you to have a google account. The phone uses google for the play store, contact backup, gmail, and more. Most roms let you skip this at first and only ask again if you use an app or feature that requires google. If the rom your on will not let you skip it, you will have to create or sign in with an existing google account.

cmlusco look at this

Ok after dooing some translation with google, i see the issue. Who ever gave you the phone had a pattern lock setup. You tried to many wrong attempts at solving the pattern and the phone has locked. You need to enter a google account to unlock it now. However im not sure if any google account will unlock it, or if you must enter the google account info previously registered by who ever setup the pattern lock. You can go to google.com and register for an account. If your google accoumt info dosent unlock it, you will need to get the info from the person who gave you the phone.

he never did a factory reset. if he had, then that screen wouldnt be popping up. i've had lots of clients come to me with that same problem and a factory reset always fixes it.
what im concerned about is if someone gave him the phone then why is he guessing the pattern lock or password lock?

Mi 6 ask for re-enter device pin

Hi all,
I have problem with my Mi6.
This phone I bought from someone else. I can get to the main screen, do everything basic, everything looks good.
However, when I enter the security settings to set a screen password, the device asks for the device's PIN. I did not set my password before so I do not know the pin. I tried the wipe data in recovery and flash the other rom but was still asked to re-enter the pin.
What should I do next?

It's maybe your google account's password (if you selected to use that as the encryption password in setup wizard - google).
But, if you haven't formatted data when or since you've bought that phone from that someone else, only that person would tell you what the password is.
Format data and set your own password on that regard.

I asked the old owner of the phone about this pin but they are not correct. I will try format data on TWRP and reflash rom.
Thank for your reply

Samsung Account won't work

Hello XDA Community,
I bought an N975F/DS two weeks ago and I didn't notice the sign 'ASIAN SIM ONLY'. Currently I live in Europe and when I tried to put my European SIM, it worked. But I have a problem, I can't access the Samsung Account. Made some research found so many methods but not any of them seems to work. When I try to login into Samsung Account with my SIM card inserted it gives a message 'Processing Failed'
Then after researching I tried a method:
Removing the SIM card, hard resetting, kaboooom I logged in successfuly. But in the moment I put my SIM there I can't do anything, everytime I try to access Bixby or Samsung Account it says that I need to check my internet connection. I lt looks like Im logged in but I cant access even my profile.
Had a conversation with Samsung Malaysia (because after checking my IMEI I noticed that this device is registered in Malaysia) but they couldn't help.
Tried:
Factory Reset
Opening a new Samsung Account
Wipe cache
Clearing cache and storage at Samsung Account and Samsung Experience
Safe mode
Updating my account details from desktop (account.samsung.com)
Still no success.
What should I do ? Is there any way to fix this ?
Thanks for your time

Add Account and Device in Mi Unlock Status says Request parameter error

I've tried everything, please help.. I factory reset a few times, used a VPN, turned on Find device and sync (except SMS and phone because it won't activate my SIM), USB debugging, OEM unlock are all on and it's still the same. Of course I've waited about two weeks... It's on MIUI 12.0.6.0 Global and won't check for updates (says can't connect to network) I'm pretty sure something about its IMEI or something is broken too but IDK how to fix it. I'd love to get some help please

How many hours did it tell you to wait for unlocking?
Are you 100% sure the drivers are installed correctly on your computer and the phone is detected correctly?
When you start MiUnlock, did you click in the top right corner and update the app to the latest version before requesting unlock?
Edit:
When I unlocked my phone, the Mi Account said that the sim wasn't activated but I could still send and receive SMS.
