Strange text activity on my phone - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Any help to explain what happened would be very much appreciated.
1) At 10.42 am this morning i was driving on a country road near devizes in uk with no other cars around and intermittant phone signal.
2) I received a text "google verification code" that came up on my car's system (toyota system linked by bluetooth to my huawei p20 pro).
3) Surprised (because i wasn't trying to log into anything at the time and my wife was at swimming lessons with the kids so not her) i pulled over to check but i could not find a copy of the text on my phone (but i took a picture of it displayed in the car).
4) on returning home i contacted:
A) Google said change password but not them
B) Huawei said change password but not them
C) Virgin mobile say phone does not appear to be cloned
Anyone got any ideas? (I have changed the password from a different device and received the relevant Google confirmations for doing that)
Any idvice gratefully received and thanks!

It is SMS sent by Google to verify your device to use RCS instead of SMS. You'll find that text in the Archive.

Cant send any messages?!

EDIT: for whatever reason it started working just after i posted this from my tilt but if anyone knows, i would like to know possible causes.
Yesterday it was fine but now i cant send any messages (like email and sms but phone and internet are fine) on my tilt. I go into messages, and try to send a new message but all the text fields wont let me type anything and the "Add recipricant" menu option is greyed out.
As i said i was able to send a text message yesterday. the only things i did today that wasnt normal was use TrackMe. i recorded a few gps coordainates offline because i had no signal. then when i got home, i soft restarted because my signal wouldnt recover (and i knew i could get a signal here). then i uploaded my offline positions.
now im here. since active sync wont work on my company laptop, i was going to email the kml to myself and thats when i noticed i couldnt send anything.
has anyone experienced this before or know any ways to fix it (i already tried a soft reset).

[Q] How can I disable "after call summary" ?

These days I’m on vacation using a pre-paid connection. I actaved a data connection on it and started getting these usage summary notifications every few seconds (e.g: Data charge is xx.xx, your available balance is yy.yy, valid until dd/mm/yy). Its really annoying because if I keep the phone locked for like an hour I am presented with 50 odd such messages that I have to press OK before being able to use the phone . When I called the technical support, I was told that it is a phone feature usually called “After call summary” or “call summary”, that can be turned off from the phone itself. Since they don’t carry any android devices he couldn’t help me where to find it. I looked around myself, but couldn’t find anything . Can someone help me with this ? Thanks.
Guess no one knows about this feature or how to disable it?
some one help me with this too..
Hi. I don't think it's a device feature. And if it's a "call summary" then it shouldn't inform about data plan. Try searching for a disabling code on your operator's website.
I have a "call summary" enabled - it pops up after a call, and I can disable/enable it only with a USSD code defined by operator.
Remove Call Summary Screen on Verizon Galaxy 8
I was getting an annoying call summary screen on my Galaxy 8s. It appeared to have the green android messaging icon in the call summary and splash screen. I use the Verizon massaging app. I therefore disabled the android messaging app and the issue disappeared. If you have another android, see if you can replace the android messaging app prior to disabling it.

LG G Watch R frustration

Hi everyone; I bought the LG G Watch R on Monday and, since then, I have been becoming increasingly frustrated with it: it seems that the only thing the smartwatch is good at is telling the time. Thus I am posting here, hoping that some of you may have had the same issues I'm having, and may know a solution to any of them.
First: I understand the watch is supposed to turn on when I move the wrist to look at it; however, it only does so ~5% of the times, while in other cases a violent shake is necessary to wake it up (most often, though, the only way is to tap the screen or press the button)...
Second, connection issues: when I'm speaking to the watch, it often happens that it starts recognizing words, but at some point stops and complains of being "offline" (while, instead the, phone it's connected to is on a very good WiFi connection); other times it says it's not connected to the phone (while the Android Wear app on the phone says it's connected). This may also happen after it has recognized all of the voice input: for example, after I tell it to set up an alarm, it shows it has recognized the correct input, but then goes "offline".
Third, inconsistency between what's displayed and what's really happened: after asking it to do a certain task (be it send an sms, answer a WhatsApp message or whatever), the watch often says that it was not able to contact google, or that I should try again "on the phone", while instead the action has actually been performed correctly! For example, I once sent the same SMS 4 times in a row, because it kept saying it hadn't worked.
Fourth, voice recognition: as of now, I have not been able to send one SMS without repeating it at least three times... Actually, this is probably not related to the watch itself, but rather to the google voice recognition software: I am Italian, thus the voice recognition language is set to Italian (I would gladly issue commands in English, but if I suddenly started to send all of my messages in English, most of those I know would think I've gone crazy: it would be nice to have the option to distinguish between a "commands" language and a "content" language); this means that, first of all, I have to say everything at once: for example, I must say (the italian equivalent of) "Send SMS to [contact] hello", because if I only say "Send SMS" or "Send SMS to [contact]", it doesn't work (I was excited about the new feature of 5.1.1, which has a list of contacts: it should theoretically be possible to choose the contact, hit "Send SMS" and send the message, but unfortunately, this causes the "Android Wear" app on the watch to crash unexpectedly).
Then, I have friends whose surname is made of multiple words, some of which may also be "first names" (for example, "Fabio" is a first name and "Di" is a preposition, but "Di Fabio" is a surname): this completely breaks the voice recognition algorithm, so that when I try to send an sms to "Alessandro Di Fabio" saying "ciao", I get an SMS sent to some other "Alessandro", and the text of the SMS is "Fabio ciao".
Punctuation is not always understood as such: for example, saying (the Italian equivalent of) "dot dot dot" sometimes results in the expected "...", but other times it is transcribed literally.
Finally, odd things can happen: if I try to send an SMS saying "ok, grazie!" (i.e. "OK, thank you!"), the text that gets sent is only "ok" (maybe the voice recognition thinks I'm thanking it?), and sometimes, even though the input is correctly parsed as "Send SMS to [contact] [text]", a Google Search starts...
I understand that voice recognition, after only 50+ years of development, may still be in its infancy, but it seems odd to me that the release of a device which nevertheless completely relies on it may be allowed or even conceived, given the current state of the art (if this is the current state of the art).
I know this may seem a rant (and it partly is, since I feel that I have wasted 200€ on a glorified toy watch), but I'm posting here for three main reasons: first of all to understand if I'm alone (maybe I got faulty hardware, even if I don't think so); second, to advice those who may come here still undecided not to buy the device; and finally because sending feedback to google or posting in its "community support" forums didn't have any effect (not even an automated mail saying "thank you, we got your feedback!"): is there someone else I should try complaining to?
1. Change to always on, accelerometer is a little buggy sometimes even on the moto watch same issues.
Connection issues and voice recognition, if I was having those I would return the watch for a exchange unit could just be a bad watch.
Hope that helps some

Letter to Carjoying on Bluetooth.apk issue

Hello Mandy,
I'm emailing back because of the issue with the bluetooth.apk. I notice on the new firmware (May 25) they completely took away the actual bluetooth selection in settings and made it completely dependent on the bluetooth.apk your company created. This would be ok, however the application doesnt allow you to connect OBD2. Especially since the device (OBD2) doesnt allow you to change the password/pin. It keeps saying that the device has disconnected.
Also, it would seem as though that the bluetooth.apk doesnt send ANY information back to the phone to tell it to start a call. This is suppose to happen. I should be able to dial a number through the bluetooth.apk or even through "Ok Google" command and it send the information to the phone but it doesn't. Also, there should be a text messaging app that is similar in the process except it should depend solely on our voices to type the message and send via bluetooth to our phone and then send to the contact. This would be a true hands free app that everyone is looking for.
The Bluetooth app should be getting contact updates from google sync contact but some how this has been a problem since day one, but never addressed. I'm going to go ahead and post this in the forum.carjoying.com forums, but also post it to xda-developers.com forums to see who else is having these issues. I was actually not happy when I found out the new rom update (25may2017) had more issues that the last firmware update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok guys, I know that there is a modded bluetooth apk someone is passing around, however that app keeps causing me to have feedback problems. When making a call, the receiver gets loud feedback on their end.
If would be awesome if I could get a lot of you to email in if you havent already about the bluetooth.apk. It sucks and needs to be fix. Let me know if I should have done something different. Thanks.

Verizon note 8 on AT&T Calling error!

Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a weird issue here. I have a note 8 from Verizon which everyone knows comes unlocked. I am using it on AT&T and everything works well except for one thing. For some reason when I receive phone calls from people, it shows on the screen with a + sign in front of the phone number. So if someone calls me that is in my contact book, it will not show their name since there is no + sign in my contact book. So also now in my call history if I try to call that number back it sounds like it is trying to make an international call. I have no idea what is happening. Data, texts and calls work but instead of getting a call from 9999999999 I get +9999999999.
Please help me out here, I love the phone!!
Zachary
I've read about this issue before. Googling 'incoming calls show +' gives you some leads.
In short it seems to be related to Dialling Assistance settings (note spell error, is as in settings...). I couldn't find those via the regular settings (used to be accessible via settings in Phone app), but I could via the app 'Shortcut Master (Light)' ...
Search for 'dialing' and then launch:
'com.android.phone.operator.usa.AssistedDialingActivity'. My settings (N950U1) are as per SS...
Try playing with these settings.
