[Q] Whatsapp registered number - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Pros out there. Question - I'm getting a Google Nexus 6 and if I install whatsapp in this new phone, I would require a verification number to register my current phone number. Is it possible to transfer my whatsapp in my old Samsung S4 (with the registered number) to my new phone? Keeping the old whatsapp number is for contact purposes which I don't wish to change. Hopefully someone would know how to solve this technical question.
Cheers.

Just type in the ild number on the new device(and number?) and wait for the message on the old number(and device)
Or put the sim inside new phone and register. Then take it out.

Yes but the problem is my old phone sim card is no longer available. What should I do?

If the old phone is available you can transfer wa to another number(check in optiony under account)

Yes my old phone is still available. So the situation now is, I have a sim card with number (0123) in Samsung S4. But the whatsapp number was registered under my old sim card number (0456) which is an overseas number that is no longer available but the whatsapp is still functional.
If I buy a Nexus 6, can I transfer my whatsapp + old number (0456) into the new phone? Do you know the steps?
Cheers.

What does any of this thread have to do with the LG G4? This is not a Nexus 6, S4 or Whatsapp forum. Was this forum just randomly picked to post this in?

Change language & Contacts Question

I'm sorry if these are known question, I'm not an HTC Tilt 2 owner.
My dad owns this phone, I'd like to change the language to Spanish but nothing seems to do it. Any ideas?
Also he got a replacement phone as he wet his last one. What is the easiest way to transfer contacts? I downloading the Windows program but I think I need Outlook which I stay far away from. Is there any other way?
Thanks!

Unless he backed up his phone, ie. Sprite or kept his contact info on the sim card you will just have to manually build back his contact list.

[Q] selling my phone and concerned about identity and username

before i hand this evo over to the next owner is there anyway i can remove my phone number and @sprintpcs.com username?
i just flashed the latest rooted stock odexed rom and am meeting the buyer at a sprint store later today.
Factory reset the phone. If you're referring to the data under the ##data# menu, I don't think that stuff will change until its activated on another account.
You may have to get the phone deactivated, because it may still be registered to you. You can delete all the data on it, but like if you call it, it'll still have your account registered to it; so do that, and if your friend has sprint, they'd have to add that phone to their line.
Never mind .....

thats just it , its not a friend its a craigslist ad i had. ive wiped everything i could find over and over . we are meeting at a sprint store so he can verify the ESN so im looking out for both of us (had a scary issue a few years back with a guy that bout my touch pro)
so my 1o digit phone number will be there and my *********@sprintpcs will be there until he activates it on his account? whats the risk in that?

Once again, you have to deactivate it from your account for that information to go away. You have to call Sprint and remove it from account. They will send the necessary provisioning information to the phone to remove the information.
If I am wrong, please let me know but this is what I had to do for my last two phones when I sold them on Craigslist.
Get the MSL reader out the market. ##RTN# (786)(ReTurN) enter msl. Select reset, and youre done. Don't turn phone back on or it'll reprovision as long as its attached to your account. My preferred method to program if customer doesn't care / new device.

Well if the guy is a real creep, he could attempt to hack into your account, and he'll have your number.
Or call and say I forgot my passwords to my account, sales rep: number on the account, -given- boom, entry.

If you log into Zune, you should be able to go to purchase history and see if the download occured. Also, you can go to Windowsphone.com, click on your account and see the same downloads.
What you say about the AT&T section though indicates a potential problem. If the AT&T section and/or the Nokia section is missing from the marketplace, it indicates you may not be provisioned correctly. All Windows Phone users get Marketplace. Those special sections, called Storefronts, are available only to validated customers of that carrier, hardware or OEM. It may take a few hours for them to actually show up. If yours is not showing up, then it indicates a connection is not being correctly made. I'd call AT&T and validate your data connection is correctly set up. Been alot of that going on the last 4 days, but now that the phone is released to the public, we should see less of it occuring.
Good Luck
Ive got a problem with a CC that expired. They let me update my expiration date but not the stupid CCV code... DUH. So I ended up adding a different card.
Check https://billing.microsoft.com

Did you call billing...you should have been able to edit the credit card and validate it online.
I logged in to Zune and found my purchase history. However there aren't any registered devices. Do I need to sync the L900 with Zune on a computer? Could that be why I can't download/purchase new apps?
Thanks!

YOu don't need to sync, though it makes it easier to see. The results you're looking for are pulled off of your account with Microsoft. As long as your zune account and microsoft account are the same ID, there's no worries.
However, if you go to WindowsPhone.com and log in, this is the uber site. You will see your information here, and be able to see your device, and potentially reinstall most apps from this site.
Go to Microsoft.com/windowsphone. log in with your Windows Live ID on the right side. You'll see your registered name appear. Click here and choose account. You'll see lots of stuff.
Problem solved: As you suspected, the phone was not correctly commissioned. Called AT&T and worked through it. We're good now! Thanks again.

What are the odds NONE of the blog sites pick up this provisioning thing as a resolution? Apparently little bandito's are a better story.
I suffer the same'ish issue. I'm not able to purchase apps via Windowsphone.com but I can buy apps via Market Place on my phone.
Unfortunately the 1-800 number for Zune support has been disconnected. I have not been successful finding a way to call Microsoft billing support to update my ccv#.

The 1-800 number was only for WP7 support....not mango and above..they've moved on.
I see your problem...the billing site for MS has removed the call options.
Try this.....chat support. I'm told they will call you back with billing issues.

Let me know if this works or not...I have some friends in support....
I clicked a big THaNKs to you alodar1!!! Support cleared it up. If you go to xbox.com and visit your account there you can edit the CCV # of you credit card, or any other part of your card.

A side note though....this only works if you are also an xboxlive customer. If you are not, then this does not always work.
Apparently, Microsoft is still bringing all the variations of the Windows Live ID together....still not there yet.

[Q] Will phone "reset" when activated w/ a new number?

I'd assume this is the same for any phone but I have an old phone that I gave to someone to use with their number. It's currently deactivated because I got a new phone and activated this new one with my number.
When she goes into Verizon and activates my old phone with her new number will it "reset" the phone? Will it disconnect my facebook, twitter, gmail, etc. account? Will it delete my contacts?
Thank you very much in advance!

I want it to reset..or disconnect my google, facebook, app stuff at least. I lost my phone and had to buy a new one and then my old one was found. Someone is using it for a few days and I want to make sure my old texts can't be read and my passwords for all of my apps, access to email, google voice, etc. are all disconnected.
When she activates it with her new number does it make her sign in with a new google account? I know my photos will be on there and stuff but basically everything else google/phone related.
Just boot into recovery and do a factory wipe/reset.

HELP! Cant sign into Huawei account.

I just got my new Mate 20 X and cant sign into my Huawei account. It says I have to link a number with it but, whenver I imput my cell number it never sends me a verification code. I had a Huawei i.d. but, it isnt giving me access to it. I live in the US, im using ATT, and the phone I have is the EVR-AL00.
I'm guessing that, since the phone is the Chinese variant, it's looking for you to verify your Huawei account using a phone number with the format for that region??? I think I ran into the same problem with my Chinese P8 Max and Mediapad back in the day.

Unfortunately, no. Once I realized that my number just didn't play nicely with Huawei's servers, I just gave up. Maybe, somebody here knows more about this and can help.

Try to change to use email to send code instead of phone. This is what I did. If I remember correctly, I clicked the phone number or something below, I was able to use my gmail instead.
Same for me,but with Email Account works
Nice. Good to know that email works. Thanks.
