Open Myself, click on edit button (guy with pen in top right corner), than click on add new, enter your new number and save. After that edit it again and delete old number, save. Another option is factory reset.

No, no & no, tried all that before I posted about problem! I joined XDA Developers to see if there is a work around, i.e. a question for a programmer/developer,

You cannot delete "Myself" as it is not an actual contact.

Did you pressed "done" after you changed the number?

Right I have just figured out that this number is the original number, I got O2 to change it to a different number, (which I am using), I bet there is no way to change it but gonna ask O2 Support, thanks for all the help so far peeps, I will get back to let no how it goes.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

We'll I've just got back from talking with o2 guru's, it seems there is no recovery it needs flashing, but because it's over a year old I will have to pay them to do it, I am going to start a new thread as I wish to do it myself but have no idea where to start, thanks again peeps for ur help

My contact Numbers duplicated by it self ?

some times i find my numbers in contact book are duplicated by it self and also if i want to do backup for them the contact numbers total become 2500 number at the time it is not more than 700 number ??!! please any solution ?
Note:
i only display the phone contact numbers .
if synch with google contacts, go to browser, navigate to google contacts and use merge duplicates.
If you use alternative means to synch contacts google/search those, someone else might have had the same issue and solved it someway or another. Here on XDA or elsewhere.

Wht you mean by its not true? Its working.

thanks bro,
@topicstarter give more info, if none are true, how did you get conta ts on the phone? Also check if the double contacts are not double, but in fact saved in different locations.
If office 360, just guessing here, there are two threads where people have succeeded.
If only one gmail, use the merge feature and then sync phone. You might have missed this step last time.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe you activated the contacts saved on the phone memory and the sim card.
So it shows double contacts.
Try to disable one on the settings.
My bad, didnt read the last line. Lol

Or Maybe! Lol, you ticked multiple in contacts to display, this should be how it looks like.. tick only one

[Q] Soft Keys don't go away

As the title says, when I'm on the lock screen, the home and back button are already visible. This is annoying, is there someone else with this problem? Maybe a solution? Everything is stock. The strange thing is, when I try to make a screen shot of it, they go away...
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
That's totally normal. The softkey bar is always present, since the softkeys are essential for operating the device.
No I mean, when your on the lock screen, that bar is supposed to be all black. Well not anymore, the back and home button already appeared. They should appear when the device is unlocked.

I don't think it's supposed to be all black. It isn't on my phone, and it wasn't on any other phone I've seen.

You're correct! I apologize. I must've mixed things up. I checked again and indeed the bar is all black on my lockscreen as well.
Stock Android 4.1.2, but I found the cause of it. Unbelievable, it was the Sony smart key app. When I installed it the problem happend. And guess what, now u deleted the app, the bar is back black. Can someone else try this to see if it is just my phone or it is the app?

I was having the same irritating issue...and also found the Smart Key app to be the culprit. It occurred on .140 as well as AT&T's .120.
After deleting Smart Key, the problem has not returned.

Calendar notification sound

I have a new Moto X developer edition and have 4.4.3 on AT&T.
I have used Zedge for changing my notification sounds but have found and issue were I can not change the default sound for the stock calendar app.
With the stock sound options will not change either.
I searched but didn't find anything.

....Open the calendar app, go to settings, and change the notification tone there.
See the screenshot. Zedge can't do this for you - you need to do it from the Calendar app itself...

Upon further research, this is a known issue. See here for several potential work-arounds, specifically post #12 (if you are rooted). Additionally, there is a paid app mentioned in that thread that will allow you to set a custom notification without root.

Well working perfect now tried to screenshot with my above post but had to start a new xda account and can't add images due to low post counts. Have been searching all day for the best 5.1.1 rom to get exposed back but this little jewel might keep me on marshmallow.... But I'll probably change my mind n an hour lol
can it be ported to kitkat or lolipop?

I did. Does it have to do with service searching meaning acrually the network? If i drill down what that service has, there are a bunch of various services not related to network.

I checked the service under the running apps and it seems that it is triggered by the following : com.samsung.android.sm.widgetservice. Not sure if that helps.
What widgets do you have running ? And how often you set them to refresh such as weather app
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
I think the specific one has to do with the smart manager. I had it before as well. The thing is i removed the widget but the issue remains.

Try safe mode with your current setup. it will basiclly prevent all 3rd party apps from running and if you don't get the same drain then its not from samsung but rather from a bad app.
Turn on safe mode
- Turn the device off.
- Press and hold the Power key.
- When 'Samsung Galaxy Note5' appears on the screen, release the Power key.
- Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
- Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
- Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
