country code causing text messages to fail

HI everyone.
Sorry for the second post in a few days, but this is an annoying issue

I have a verizon galaxy s6, and I am currently living in Belgium, using belgian sim (carrier BASE). I don't think this issue is unique to the country or the carrier.

The problem I am having is that when I receive a text message from a belgian number, the number that shows on my phone has the country code: +32 xx xxx xxxx. I can get text messages like this, but when I try to reply, the message fails. (this has happened on every number ive tried to respond to.) The only way I can get my texts to send is by making the number into a new contact, and removing the +32 country code. The same goes for when i'm trying to call, I have to remove the country code, if I keep it, the call fails. I've tried turning on and off assisted dialing, and I did a factory reset on my phone. Ive tried dialing US numbers and they have also failed, so it's not forcing the +1 country code on my numbers while calling either.

This is a huge pain, because it forces me to make a new contact for every single new number, even if its not a number I need/want to keep, and go in and adjust it manually.

Thanks for the help, it's very appreciated.

Chrome Device Support Library causing ads

Hello, long time reader - finally decided to post.

I bought the Note 5 on launch day, and have overall been very happy with it, especially after debloating. I had been noticing over the last couple weeks that a lot of websites would have ad choice ads on the bottom of the pages, through Chrome or through apps that use WebView. It was only on certain sites. When I went to my own personal sites, I would never see the ad so I was sort of thinking it was the site. But the more and more I saw them, they really seemed out of place. I dont use many apps on my device, and am very careful what I install so I was not worried about malware.

I finally decided to start disabling things to see if I could get these ads to stop, and sure enough, when I disabled Chrome Device Support Library (assuming it came installed as I did not install it), the ads went away.

Does anyone have any similar experience? I am missing anything by disabling this? I just want to make sure I don't have anything additional that would have caused these ads.

Thanks in advance for any info.

AOSP ROMs causing data connection issues

I've tried two ROMs so far, Xenon and CM. Both the latest build. I did them after a fresh RUU, using TWRP 2.8.7.0. The only change I made was to install the VZW firmware that DigitalHigh provided in the OP of his GPE ROM. That was needed to ensure that I could install the newer TWRP and the lollipop roms and whatnot.

Anyway, data connection is incredibly spotting. Half the time I have nothing, then it's the R for roaming, and occasionally when toggling APNs and airplane mode I can get regular data for a little bit, but it never lasts long.

Has anyone encountered this before? What can I do differently to fix this?

Samsung Keyboard App causing up to 32% CPU usage

Hi everyone,

My Tmobile Note 4 lags and freezes quite a bit. I've done many things to include a hard reset, but the lag is back. It can get bad sometimes. So I decided to install Trepn Profiler and the CPU usage for the Samsung Keyboard app varies from 10-30% when the keyboard isn't being used. I tried Greenify, but it won't force close the Samsung Keyboard app. Why is this program using the CPU this much when it's not being used? By the way, the Samsung Keyboard app is always at the top of the list on CPU usage.

In either case, what are your thoughts and how to fix this? What's the best way of tracking down apps that cause this beast to slow down and lag? I have too many apps loaded to uninstall them and track down the culprit or culprits one by one.

Thanks,

GP

ROM Manager causing soft brick/bootloop

Since I already posted the problem and the question I wanted to ask, I'll copy it to here.

My Matrix Smartphone D4090(apparently a chinese ripoff off HTC) with Jelly Bean on it, rooted by Kingo, broke down when I used the ROM Manager to change the boot animation. By broke down, I mean it got soft bricked. All I can do is turn it on(which leads me to nowhere), use the chinese recovery or the "No command!" recovery. I tried factory resetting on both ways multiple times, but nothing happened. As I don't have a backup, I'm pretty much f*cked when it comes to the stock ROM. So, can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop?

Phone specs(as much as I remember, it got removed from the shop, so information may lack):
512MB RAM
1GB ROM
1.0 GHz Dual Core
Jelly Bean Android
Camera 2/0.3 MP

Apps installed before the bootloop(again, information may lack because my memory isn't great):
Xposed Framework
MyDogs
ROM Manager(Clockwork&the one with the golden wing on the icon)
Facebook Lite
APUS Booster
Kingo SuperUser
Titanium Backup
Skype
InBrowser

Don't remember anything more before the problem, sorry. I'll edit if I remember more.
So, to summarize the question:
Can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop/soft brick?

Thanks for reading this post if you did, and it'd be VERY appreciated if you could offer useful information on these questions. Again, thanks.
