I do not have this problem on my phone.
Do you have problems calling or texting the contacts that are added in this way?
Kind regards, Stefan.

Stefan,
No problems calling or texting.
If I edit the contact removing the double dash, it returns after edition. If I look on Google Contacts on my computer there is no issue.
Thanks
Laco.

I realize this happen with numbers with 9 digits plus area code (in Sao Paulo, Brazil, we have 9 digits cell phones numbers).

Just added the contact: 011988883333 and saved it without dashes here.
When I edit the contact also no dashes are present.
I see you say you are from Brazil.
Could you try to add the contacts with your country code +55 infront of them?
Just to see if it saves the number with dashes aswell?
Think the correct number would be: +5511988883333
For example myself Iam from the Netherlands and mobile numbers are 10 digits long:
0612345678 adding my country code +31 the number would look like: +31612345678
Also: Do you save your contacts as local contacts or?
I do save them local myself.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Stefan
Thanks for your reply.
I registered the number with +55 and the "double dashes" appears too.
I am in Brazil but my phone is from UK and I am using UK English as default language. Is the number format related with language? Based on what you said your phone does not format the number you typed.
My contacts are on Google Contacts and there the number is fine like on my iPhone I sync too.

you don't really expect us to be able to see files on your local disc drive...?
ok ok,I know now...please look at this picture,there is no sync option to receive e-mail
That is manual send/receive of e-mails (pop/imap e-mail account). This types of mailaccounts cannot push e-mail to your phone.
If you want to receive your e-mail directly on your phone after you received it in your mailbox you need push mail (like Exchange).
There are some free e-mail hosters that provide free Exchange (gmail), so try searching for it here in the forum and with google.
oh...That comes with useless mail in X1??Thank you

Phone Number Format: How to change?

In Brazil the following phone number format is used:
+cc-aa-nnnn-nnnn (c = country, a = area code, n = phone number)
Although I bought my phone here the phone number is in the US standard: + cc-aaa-nnn-nnnn. Is there a way to change that?
Btw... I'm using English as device language.

You'll need to change locale (Settings -> Locale and Text -> Select locale) from English US to something else. Try English UK if you need to use English as device language.
Thanks Scott...
I've used Windows Mobile for years and trust me, I couldn't be happier with Android. But I think the only thing I'll miss is the possibility to fix such things in the registry
[EDITED] - I just check your suggestion. It works but it changes the overall language on the device. That is not what Iḿ looking for. I really wanted to be able to keep English and set some kind of preference for the phone number formal
I'm still looking for the same solution. Any idea?
solved so fast.
I've downloaded and isntalled this app. There are some options as number formats. I used the most appropriate one for my country and it works like a charm now!

Go to settings and choose "PIN off" ... I've tried 1111 and it works
Honestly.. Is there any payment method that is anonymous? If you really pay that with your credit card or PayPal then it's not longer anonymous..
Just my two cents..

It basically shows a preview of any internet url, not sure about webpages that don't have photos. The preview kind of sucks as it's limited but somewhat gives you an idea. That way you don't have to click on the url to figure out what it is if it's not familar to you.
One example, one of my lil brothers used to send me youtube links that were gorey, etc. He knows I don't like viewing them. Now he can't trick me anymore.
Or if you happen to receive spam texts or texts from parties unknown you can get an idea of what the link is instead of having to visit a url that might be harmful. I don't know, I've never received spam texts or from people I don't know but just a thought.
I can see how it can be annoying to some but at least we have the option & can turn it off as desired. To add, the stock Gallery has a new feature I've never seen before (maybe the S8 had it, I don't know). If you take a screenshot of a website it'll include the url so you can visit tge page again in the future. I have it turned on but have not tried it yet.

Cell Broadcast (NL-Alert)

Hello,
I'm the owner of a Huawei P20 Pro in the Netherlands on the T-Mobile network.
In the Netherlands we use a Cell Broadcasting system called NL-Alert.
Now my problem is, the broadcast the signal on channel 919 and in my Huawei settings it is set to 4371.
I have really no idea how to change this.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings from Amsterdam!

What is your software region? Did you de-brand your phone?
I work in the Cell Broadcast industry and in many countries the broadcast channel is pre-set by regulation trough Cellular Operators. You might need to check this with T-Mobile.
I am from the netherlands also and using tmobile/tele2 and on my p20 pro it did work but last msg i got was on dec 3rd.
Received 2 nl alerts yesterday, on tmobile no issues

I think 3rd of December was the last test day for NL-Alert. They do it now twice a year. Would you please be so kind to look, on which channel you are (4371 or 919).
Thanks!

Search in English for "Emergency" and in Dutch for "Nood" in de system settings and you will probably find it!
