Hello Everyone,
I just noticed this one on my Atom.. Looking on Start > Settings (Personal Tab) > Phone (Phone Tab).. My previous mobile number is appearing on the upper left side of the screen. Whats weird is that im using a totally different mobile number now.
Also, When i send text messages or received one.. The mobile number that is appearing is the old one and not the new one. Ive already tried using Hard Resets as well as reflashing due to this issue but to no avail.
System is working perfectly fine its just that this is bugging me.
Anyone experience this issue and probably a fix?
Thanks and Have a nice day everyone.

I have a really annoying problem with my Orange M3100 (hermes).
Intermitently, but almost every day now, the phone freezes up when a text message comes through, i.e. it will not switch on from standby mode.
I have to reset the phone, and I lose the text message. It can really screw my day up if it was an important text!
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm looking for a ROM upgrade, but afaik there haven't been any releases from Orange yet. Do any of the other ROMs (i.e. HTC TyTN) have newer sections? I'm guessing it may be a radio ROM problem, but can't be sure of course.
Also hoping crossbow leaks for hermes soon, in case that sorts it out.
Let me know,
cheers,
Joe
I used to have this problem with my Universal.
I had removed the "Messaging" icon from my today screen to make space for other today plug-ins. Since the day I had put the Messaging icon back on my today screen, not once has my device frozen on receipt of a new SMS.
In case you too have removed the messaging icon from the today screen, I strongly suggest that you put it back.
Hope this helps and regards
I had a similar problem with an old MDA2 in which case it was caused by an incompatible SIM card which was old (Version 1.0)... I went to my Cell provider and they exchanged my SIM card with an upgraded one (SIM Version 3.5) and all my SMS problems went away!
My 2 cents...

Thanks guys, but my messaging icon is still on the today screen.
Not sure about the sim card. It's the one that Orange sent me when i bought the phone, so I'm assuming it would be compatible. How can I tell what version SIM it is?
at least on mine it has V3.5 in big letters on one side of the chip...
@ Joehood
Did you manage to resolve this issue or are you having to live with it happening occasionally?
I have noticed this on my device and it occurs only occasionally but when it does it always coincides with a SMS being received and when I'm in the middle of writing one.
Do you have any 3rd party apps that may be causing this?
I have running, PhoneAlarm and PhonePad. I am currently running SPB Mobile SHell but this has happened before installing this. Also occurred in WM5 and WM6.
I figure it might be PhoneAlarm so might try living without to see if this might be the cause, but find this a very useful app.
i got a similar problem on my JASJAM, not being able to send messages right after receiving a message. used to have the phone crash after receiving a message too. i've upgraded my radio and ROM (now using Black Majik and radio ver 1.43) but the problem's still there. still hoping and looking for a cure, hehe...
Whenever I've had this problem, it's been because I'm connected to a bad wifi connection when the text message came in.
If its a good wifi connection that is working properly or if I have no wifi connection, it doesn't happen.
I searched and didn't find anything quite like what I am experiencing, so I'm making a new thread about it.
I got my G1 a few days after the release and up until about the 5th of this month I would always get a new mail notification within a few minutes of receiving a new mail in my gmail inbox. Sometime around the 5th it started taking significantly longer to get notifications (if at all). Around the same time I changed from the stock theme to Gloss Suite (not sure if I switched theme before or after the problem started...). Another thing that I had noticed was that my contacts would not sync at all; I kept receiving the error "Sync is currently not working. It will be back shortly." when trying to sync from the settings menu.
Prior to theme switch I had JF1.41 RC33, I moved to 1.42 RC33 for the Gloss Suite theme. I am now using haykuro's 5.0.2H build and am having the same issue with gmail notifications. Sometimes I get them within a minute (normal) and sometimes it takes hours (if I even get a notification without a manual refresh). Everything else on the phone seems to be working as it should be.
I am just curious if anyone else is having a similar problem, or if anyone knows what is/can be causing it. I may try reflashing to a stock RC33 after work and see if the problem persists.
edit: Sent an email to my gmail account from my work email, and it took 22 minutes to get a notification.
i had same problem but only noticed it with my contact list. It just wasnt there, and i couldnt even add a new contact. i had jfv1.43 ADP1-1.1 Holiday update. I went back to the version before that and my contact list is back and working great.
I pretty much had the same problem on my rooted phone, my emails weren't getting pushed to my phone. I called up tmo support and they manually switched me to a different cell tower and it started working again.
It still happens every now and then though. Tmo support said whenever i notice it happening to: hit the menu button > settings > wireless controls > mobile networks > operator selection > then pick tmo and have your device re-register on the network.

Cool, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
Hi,
I updated my ROM as soon as it came out in January.
I have been using my HTC HD2 on and off over the last two months due to its niggles but thought I would give the phone one more chance.
To my dismay again - I having issues with sending and incoming text messages.
For example
There was about a 3 hour window today where I suspect I was not receiving any text or sending any.
I noticed this because I phoned vodafone to give me an automated SMS message to tell me how many mins I got left. But after 2 attempts and left it for 90 mins, no messages came through.
I also sent out a couple of texts but noticed the delivery reports were shown as not delivered. These were two several different people.
So I thought this must be my phone then.
I switched off my phone and back on again, voila the messages I had sent were delivered 30 secs after my phone was switched back on.
I phoned up Vodafone again to get automated text message - viola the sms came within 5 seconds.
Question
What cause the cessation of incoming and outgoing messages in that 3 hour window? Could an app/update running in the background could have caused this?
Is this a common issue even with the latest official ROM update? Is there a fix?
Please help as this issue along with short battery life is making me thing whether to get rid of phone.
But I also love the other features of the phone - for that reason I want this fundamental feature of sending/receiving SMS message to be resolved.
Thanks -rant over
that sounds just like the original sms problem.
did you use backup software when you upgraded? with the wrong settings, when you restore it can cause problems by writing back some old system files.
could be as easy as a hard reset.
no I did not use any backup software. literally just installed the new ROM and then had to install all my programs manually in again. any ideas? it does seem like the old sms issue as the problem is much less frequent but annoying nonetheless lol.

Sorry to hear all your disappointing references your having with your HD2.
I not long after getting myne when had rom 1.48 and now 1.66 never have had any SMS problems(although a fix was installed by HTC straight away apon purchase)
I then installed a app to disable Sence Sms (sorry cant find where i got it from) being processed by Sence as it created a few limitations i liked in windows sms .
Any way by shifting the total responsibility back to Windows Sms functionality > i have never to today experienced a single problem with stuck sms.
I hope this helps.
but my problem is very intermittent. could a program running in the background cause this issue
I have an O2 HD2 which came with ROM V1.43 i had no issues with sms. I installed the V1.66 ROM...still no issues! It may be something to do with your network? might be worth trying a different networks sim card to prove???
I thought the same but i have no issue with my old phone. strange huH?
Hey guys,
Have a US Beta AT&T unit running 1.6 on Rogers. My Caller ID/Display works fine with my sim in any other phone. On the Streak sometimes it will show up as "Pay phone" with no number showing. Sometimes the number will show up after in the call log, others it wont. Sometimes the call display works perfectly fine.
For example I tried calling my Streak 5 times from my home landline, 3 times the Call Display function worked as it should, 2 times it showed "Pay phone".
Could this be a setting problem? I have done a factory reset and it did not help at all. I have tried searching and have not come across any solutions yet. Any help would be much appreciated
I had this problem before too... LOL Pretty funny cause it was my wife calling my on her cell phone and she was standing right in front of me when it happened.
1) Check your contact folder and clean it up. I noticed my contact had people from all over the place that I only emailed in the past.
If that doesn't fix it,
2) I installed FacebookSync so anyone on my contact list can have the right info with pictures.
Doesn't happen to me anymore.
I tried facebooksync which didn't hep. Did a few factory resets and even wiped all contacts. Nothing helped.
Upgraded to Android 2.1 and the problem instantly disappeared
So.. Story begins..
I bought my S8 a few months back.. Worked flawlessly (Stateside).. Then I came overseas and the problems began.. I requested my service to be suspended by Verizon and after doing so my phone began to freak out.. I don't know for sure if this is the cause but having just received my replacement device and experiencing the exact same issue. Could it be possible?
Issue: No matter what I am doing on the phone it will freeze for a split second then appears to refresh.. For example.. If I am typing an email, as I am writing my keyboard locks up and the phone becomes unusable then it jumps to the top of the app and then I can continue .. It is SOOOO frustrating because for example.. SnapChat: While I am writing and the screen freezes and refreshes, I lose everything I wrote.. If I'm scrolling through Facebook .. It jumps back to the top..This became more frequent and even more annoying! Even if I am in the settings menu scrolled all the way to the bottom.. it freezes for a second and then jumps to the top of the app.. So.. I began removing apps I thought could be the cause of the problem.. I cleared the cache on the phone as well as the apps, reset settings, removed/re-added Google accounts, even tried some developer options to scale down the graphics, background processes etc.. No avail.. I finally caved in and contacted Verizon who put me in touch with TechCoach app to remote in a see the issue for themselves.. All the troubleshooting steps they walked me through, I had already done.. So they sent me a replacement.. I set the new phone up, installed the software updates, just a few apps to test and sure enough same issue! Then I wiped the phone again.. didn't install any software updates, I left it bare bones and even set the phone up as new (no restore from Google)... So as I am writing this TechCoach wants to send me yet another replacement device.. But I'm certain the "Certified Like-New" S8 they send me will end up doing the same thing.. What it appears to be to me (No expert here) is that once I came overseas and suspended my line.. There's some service/app that is trying to push/pull over network data and since it's unable to do so it's causing the phone to glitch? I mean I really can't think of any other reason this could be happening .. Furthermore, I tried different Wi-Fi connections, changed performance modes, disabled many "enhanced features" ... Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated while I wait for the replacement device.... Thanks XDA!
Update:
Verizon had to reactivate my line before they could send a replacement... So I asked the rep to keep my line active to see if the issue persists.. Would you believe it worked flawless as it did when I first bought it without issues.. So my theory was right!!! Some service running in the background is attempting to refresh without connectivity.. I'm now going through every system app to disable and test ... more to follow!
