EMERGENCY !!! How Can I Retrieve a Deleted Number? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i got a htc inspire 4g running absolution 3.7 (based on cm7). someone called me on my phone yesterday and had the number on my call log.. i didnt save it. by accident, i deleted the number from my call log. is there any way to get it back? is it still stored in my phone?

Ask your mobile operator
Ask your mobile operator to tell you the number of caller who called you, they might have that info in their servers. Tell them it is very very very very important to you, otherwise they don't bother to tell you anything. You have to make them believe that it was actually very important to you.
This is a long way out, but it might work.
I don't know any way to retrieve that no.. So wait for some other person on xda who can tell you a solution.
But my solution, use it when nothing works. Because my solution might work.

hi apourvi.. thank you for your reply.. the problem with asking tmobile this is that i'm on pre-paid with them.. i'm no longer a regular customer.. i called them saying that its an emergency and the whole nine.. but they said it was impossible to get me the number since i'm on pre-paid. let me know what you think.. thanks brother.

Search online website of your provider
Go online to your provider, check if they have some 'login' or 'register'.
Go online to your provider and look at your history there. They might provide some info on your mobile records.
And I think there should not be any problem in retrieving a call log for your provider, even if your on Pre-paid.
For e.g. if police have suspect a phone no. (in case of crime cases), they ask the provider for call log info, and they get it, whether its pre paid or post paid.

Questions about verizon specific software

maybe someone can help me. I flashed nuerom 2.0 build 5044 and everything is working beutifully. And before i get flamed i am not able to use the search function as it never finds anything regardless of what of what i search for.
However i cant seem to receive pics mail. now im figureing that since this is a sprint specific software that the proper files are not in place to make this work. does anyone know where i can get them or if there is something i can change to make it work. kind of annoying not being able to recieve pix mail.
Also my GPS seems to be working, sort of. I cant seem to get a fix but it will search for satellites and usually finds 2. I am using googlemaps. is there a better software or a patch or fix to make this more consistent.
And lastly i am receiving a popup prompting for a username and password when i got to access the web. I can click cancel and it lets me go right through but its an annoyance and really bothers me. I wasnt given a u/n and p/w and it doesnt appear i need one. Can i stop this from happening.
Keep up the great work everyone who is contributing.
MMS is not cooked in to the nueroms. I don't know of a way to add it without it being cooked in to the ROM.
You can use another software like Live Search or TomTom.
Just put a check mark in remember password. It should stop asking.
thanks appreciate all your help. your previous posts helped with my phone as well.

[q] need help!!!!!

ok this is my first thread yay! i know. But i think i have an app that is making phone calls from my number but its not showing up on my call log but it shows up on my bill and the number is 8505830466. i tried calling it and it asks me what number i would like to dial. i would love to know what i should do! should i wipe everything and reinstall the rom or will they still have the info to keep making the calls? or call verizon and have them block it? thanks for any help that is given!
here's it on my bill
Google search shows some people saying its a political party #. Just sign into verizonwireless.com and block it. Solved.
thank you so much! ill try it out
Yes, agreed...mostly. I saw the same Google results. However, noted that my GV# is almost identical to this mystical 850#. I'm wondering if it's related buggishness (?!?). If so, wonder where I'll find more about it. Also, I recall someone else's input that the call /had/ been identified and related to GV, by their carrier (seems to me it was VZW). And furthermore, the rep allegedly stated that the policy was that there were no billable minutes for the number. Here is the indirect link to one of the more helpful insights I've found, IMHO; from the Google Groups: http[://]goo.gl[/]d9JO6 Good luck in your resolution(s).

[Edit]
When I spoke to VZW Customer Service yesterday [/not/ IT Support], the rep mentioned that the feature, "Call Blocking," was part of a $4.99 monthly package called "Usage Control," or something similar. ~:sDs:~

[Q] call forward from and to specific number

Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..
@ OP
Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Same here @ OP
Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..

I'm not sure if it functions, but you could give burnerapp a try. I guess there is no other way to spoof your real number, cause that wouldn't be possible w/o modifying cellular network.
Skype offers, after purchasing prepaid credit, a phone number, that you can use from the skype app. If you just use messenger, like WhatsApp, and you own another phone number, maybe this will help.
/edit: too late

What are these strange numbers.

Galaxy s21 and my security seems to be an issue. What is this phone number doing here and why would it be toggled on to receive my messages. Thanks again everyone I hope I'm just being paranoid.

How do you expect anyone here to know what that number is? Why is it toggled to receive your messages? We don't know, you are the one that uses the device.
You are asking questions that we don't have any clue how to answer.

It looks like you have received a text from that number.
Your SMS app allows you to mute notifications from that number.

Oh I don't know, maybe someone has seen this type of attack before. Maybe someone does know how a phone number can even get attached in the manner it did. One thing I'm confident in is if anyone has any positive thoughts on the matter it would be a great help. Certainly though I can see this has upset you in a way that was not my intent. My thought was perhaps others who own an s21 are seeing the same thing or perhaps they are not. Lastly, your right, it is my device. A device that I didn't put the number on there and I have no idea how to remove that switch or input or whatever it's called. However, I do apologize for triggering your anger and will try to keep that in mind for future post. Thanks again and be safe.

Ya it's just odd given the issues I've had in the past. Why that number of all the numbers and contacts that I have this number that I've never seen before and is nowhere else on my phone is somehow attached itself to my phone. It won't let me remove it and it appears that if toggled on that number would receive notifications of my messages.

Who's upset? I'm just saying that we have no way of knowing what the number is or where it came from. Yes, someone may be able to explain "how" the number got put there, but, ultimately it got there through someone using the device(whether you or someone else) and that someone somehow allowed it or granted something access somewhere(whether they were aware of it or not) because android doesn't just allow anything to randomly apply itself to an android device without being granted access or given permissions. It is from some app that you installed, an email that you opened, a message you answered, some kind of multimedia content that you opened or something like that. Android doesn't allow things that were not expressly allowed by the user, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Hence my reply about you being the one that uses the device. Review your usage and trace your steps back to whatever may have been the thing that you allowed or clicked on unknowingly.

They probably have the option to block the number also.

Well I believe it migrated over after rest and I restored my messages. The solution was to clear the cache and data of my messages app. The input is no longer there visibly at least. I will continue to battle those who wish to usurp my authority and permissions that encoded in my device. Thanks again.
that number is samsung's account verification number according to true caller id as to how it got there no idea..
