[Tip] Removing Chinese Characters from the Messages and Phone apps - Lenovo K900

Some people have complained about Chinese characters showing up in the Messages and Phone apps when a contact is selected. This post tells you how to remove those characters.
-----------
The problem stems from the Contact Manager. You'll need to change the settings from there.
1) Make sure you're running ContactManager V2.4.321+. If not, you can update it by opening the Contacts app and then going to Settings - About and hitting Upgrade.
2) Now go to 'More features and settings' from the menu button. Select 'Location', then deselect 'Show operator information' and 'Display number's location'.
Your contacts should now show up without any Chinese characters.

thanks man, it helped

thank you, it s working!

I am not getting 'More features and settings' in my Lenovo K5 Note ? Any idea ? My Contact Manger version is 5+..

[Q] how to add my photo to native sms app ?

Hi all,
when i send a sms my photo do not appear, i have a grey square...
My profile is set correctly whith my photo.
Bugs ???
Check if you don't have your number also on SIM card.
Checked, my number is not on sim card or on phone contact, only on my profile.
contact/menu/+/myprofile
any idéa ?
Great, so on list of SMS click on your "gray square"
Standart SMS/MMS application:
It request you about adding contact <your_phone_numer> say yes, fill some stuff what you want and click again on "gray square" on top, chose picture what you want.
Handcent SMS
It forwards you to Account configuration, where is first menu "Account picture" so just select picture, that you want to use.
In native app sms/mms, that not work if i press on gray square nothing takes place
just an orange border is displayed around gray square.
I have installed handcent and all work fine...
I think that it is a bug of native app...firmware is v10b
Strange.... If I tap on contact which I know, it shows me ikons for call, contactlist, sms and sometime for email if I have configured it. If I click on "unknow" person, it ask me, if I want to add add "xxxxx" to contactlist. I have Neojn's void. based on V10a
Yes that work for me too with unknow contact, i have no problem for add a picture to a contact but for ME not work...MY photo do not appear at right of Me:blablabla...
In same way like for other it worked for me. Try remove your profile information from phone and make sure that you haven't stored number elsewhere and try again.
I tried several times this does not work...
factory reset -> not work...
on French forums several people have the same problem...
Little hazardous solution, but you can try install mms apk from me, for try if it helps.
But backup original apk, or better do nand backup.
Thanks, i test now after a nand backup
Not work, i try to install and i have error msg: app not installed
and if copy your file to system/app icon of sms not appear...
tomorrow i try void rom...
Same problem with void rom, it is really strange....
i have the same problem.....

LOOOL, you will not believe!!! I was thinking about and I figured out, that here can be only one differences between each other and it is language. I chosen English instead of czech and guess what!! It didn't works. So, dou know some other language or can I write "how to" in czech?
I have the same problem. Italian user.
I think, that creating new contact with picture and yours phone number (without country code) should be enough.
so i figured it out ! you go to phone dialer > contacts > menu button > more and my profile and there u go
i allready try this method but not work on my phone...i don't know what to do
for me its work only with handcent...
I think it si a problem of sim card, Mine is more than 15 years old...
On parameter/ about phone/ status/ my number phone is unknow...

[Q] Sms recovery - how

I have deleted important sms few days ago and I would like to recover it if its possible.
The most importat is the numer which sent this message - the number is not in my contact list :/ (in adroid there is dial list so its no problem after deleting sthing)
any chance to solve this issue ?
I'm not sure, but...
if you haven't activated delete immediately in settings there should be a menu in inbox, where you can go to your deleted but stored SMS.
unfortunetlly I have "on" the direct delete the messages so the "deleted messages" are empty

[HELP] Contacts problem

Why is it that when I change "Call Logs" "View by" to "All Calls" it changes it back. I close and reopen and everything is there again instead of just calls. (like text messages etc). Also for some reason I changed my contact list to not show contacts from this app called "voxer" but same as call logs everytime i exit that phone book. and reopen they are back. Its like everything changes back..
I'm having the same problem.
A friend of mine with an S2 said the preference doesn't save and you need to use a different dialler/phone application.

[Q] SMS on hangouts not working

Guys tried sms from hangout but when I go to settings in the hangouts app.
It doesn't show me the SMS option whereas I can see the SMS option in
My mobile motog2 which also has the same lollipop versionas of my n9
Now what?
I'm using hangout version 2.5.83281670
I'm using the n9 lte version
Somebody please help
on a tablet you will need to have a google voice account and that its linked to hangouts
Dude... I hava done everything... For reference please check the attached screenshot of my hang out settings
Oh the whole section is missing.
On your phone, under the settings for your account does it list both your phone number and your Google voice number?
i've got the same problem
If you look at Settings > Wireless & Networks > More do you have a "Default SMS app" set? As I understand it until there is a default app set ( the Hangouts app) then in Hangouts > Settings menu will not have an SMS option (just displays your account name and "Add Google account")

For this to work, your GMAIL account needs to have GOOGLE VOICE enabled with a PHONE NUMBER.
I'm not certain, but you might also need to have HANGOUTS DIALER installed.
When you do that, a new section will appear in the settings menu (after the google account synchronizes), BELOW the "HANGOUT NOTIFICATIONS" section, called "GOOGLE VOICE - {your google voice number}". In that new section, you will find two checkboxes; "Incoming phone calls", and "Messages". Add a check beside "Messages", and you will have SMS over Google Voice.
