Texts (SMS) Are sending With A +1 international Code - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When sending text messages(SMS), to my contacts, They are ending up converting to a different format like if it were international friends. Because each time, the messages are being sent with a +1 international code before them.
Also because of this, my texts aren't getting delivered to my contacts .
And I have to often have to start a new thread with manually putting a zero(0) before sending a text each time.
I'm using the stock Message app.
P.S: This issue started when I updated to latest G900VVRU1ANI2 4.4.4 update.
Anyone else facing the problem or faced in the past and got it solved?

Why are you using a Verizon variant in Karachi? you should have one of the international versions.

The OP in the below linked thread is having the same problem as you:

Yes he has described the same problem which I'm also facing that's why I have already posted on his thread about the solution if he had found any.
BTW, You guys didn't face this problem?

Well if it is a GS4, then you are in the wrong sub-forum. lol
But no, I've never experienced this as I am using a VZW GS5 on a Verizon plan and network. It's probably because you are outside of the US that it's trying to input the +1 for you, and that's not going to work in Karachi.

Oops, that was a typo. I did buy a Verizon GS5 used.
No it was working perfectly fine before. The G900VVRU1ANI2 update created this issue.

Is it possible to Downgrade to the stock 4.4.2 Verizon firmware From 4.4.4 via ODIN ?
1 thing more: How do you find out whether you are having the Verizon Galaxy S5 variant or the Verizon Galaxy S5 Developer Version Variant?

I've never faced that problem. And I know you posted in that guy's thread. That was kind of my point of posting that link. No need for you to start a whole new thread of your own which is the exact same as that other guy's thread.

I just flashed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and forgot to do the NCG kernel thing, and then went back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 just fine. Worth a shot I guess. GLHF.

Anyone found a fix for this?
I really liked the NI2 update. Its buttery smooth and fingerprint scanner works really well !

Anyone?

Dev-Edition & Roms

Hey all been out of the loop for a little bit and I have a question. With the phone being as locked down as it is I was thinking of getting the Verizon GS5 Dev-Edition. Can I use ROMs and/or Kernels that are in the main GS5 forum?
Thanks for the advice/help in advanced!

If it's the Dev Edition and once rooted, I would think so. I could be wrong.

Appreciate the quick reply! I'd imagine Kernals might be hit or miss but ROMs would be ok but I could be wrong on both accounts and I just wanted to make sure before I bought it.

Either way, the Dev edition is the way to go. There is a custom build in 'Original Android Dev' for the VZW S5 down a couple subforums that is confirmed stable.

Yea I saw the Kernel but there aren't any ROM's in the Verizon forum, the main GS5 forum is hoping though so I wanted to make sure I can actually do what I intend with the device given the money. Especially since I know the Dev-Edition will never get official updates from samsung.

I'm curious myself. I just purchased an M8 but if we can flash ROMs from T-Mobile/AT&T/Int'l/Etc onto the rooted/unlocked S5 DE I'd probably buy that instead.

From what I'm reading it should be ok as long as we use a Verizon kernel because the Intl version seems to also have the Snapdragon 801.
Waiting for someone with experience to confirm though.

I'm not sure. I will receive Sprint S6 next some days. I will update after trying this. We will know that soon.
i get the unfortunately ssu.apk has stopped working , any way around this ?
A better way and one that worked is to use the GalaxyTools apk

worked brilliant and sure shot. v3.18 works on lollipop.

Bad news, there is no any Custom ROM for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
I will work around then posting results.
Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ) is an easy way to do it.
If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.
I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.
Hope this helps spme...
Thx!

Hello! If I understand it correctly, after I unlock it, I wouldn't be able to upgrade it.to Lollipop anymore? Am I right? Asking, because after the upgrade it will be locked again.
Thank you!

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

[Q] Any hope for rooting N900V lollipop?

Is there any new hopes for rooting updated N900V (lollipop)?
The lollipop update just drains my battery. I miss my old rooted 4.4.2.
Is there a way to rollback and root?

I am also looking to root my sm-n900v on 5.0 lollipop because I cannot stand the Verizon nonsense clogging up my device. Also, I leave for Europe on the 9th and was hoping to use local sims instead of Verizon international. I was under the impression Note 3 was unlocked for this kind of use, but when trying to use a local sim in Mexico, I was told the phone was locked. Is a rooted phone necessary to switch out and use an international SIM? If so I must scramble to figure out another option as I was hoping to root my device, not understanding this was not possible. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I agree. Leading us on but no root.
I'm waiting too
So there is no possible way to root a lollipop Verizon Note 3? That is a bit crazy but the only reason I wanted to root was to remove the pre-installed apps. Please update if anyone has figured out some way. I wish these phones didn't come with all this bloatware. The Samsung apps are fine but Verizon are the ones I'd like to get rid of or at least some of them. Thanks!!

There is no root for the n900v 4.4.4 or later versions, and it doesn't seem anyone is working on one.
At least that was a direct answer! ugh just bummed out now because I was forced to come back to this phone after my other one got a tiny splatter of water on it and freaking DIED.
I really wish someone would

is it possible to flash a custom kernel on the s5 even though it has a locked bootloader? i was looking online and saw that some people were able to do it with other phones but they said it varies on the phone itself and the kernel

No, it won't work on our Verizon/At&T model. It will work with t-mobile and sprint and Verizon Dev edition. Dev had banned the project so everyone is moving on to ktoonsez's kernel, which again worked on everything except for our Verizon 900V model. Bottom line, you can't flash a custom kernel onto a locked bootloader. We have many variation of model S5, make sure you are looking at Verizon (SM-900V) and AT&T (SM-G900A) which have locked bootloader.

Flash AT&T Firmware on (US) Unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge?

Hello all,
Apologies in advance, I have been away from the flashing scene since Nexus 4 days. I recently purchased a US unlocked S7E from Best Buy. I am wondering if:
1) Can I flash the AT&T firmware so that I can gain wifi calling, and other at&t features like HD voice?
2) Would there be any drawbacks to doing that?
I purchased unlocked since I am considering switching to T-Mobile soon. I heard that T-Mobile wifi calling and HD Voice work out of the box with stock, unlocked firmware, but apparently AT&T doesn't work without the ATT firmware... Is that correct?
Thanks,
Flashed the AT&T firmware on a TMobile S7e to get those features and have had no down side to the change.

I've gone back and forth a few times no Samsung pay issues either. This does not yep Knox. If you are on the U phone make sure you flash the correct version of the att firmware. Not sure if the U phone has V4 bootloader or not yet.
