Strange. My phone number shows up fine. Silly question - you guys both have T-Mobile SIMs in your phones right?

Hahaha, so what gives then?
When I dole out blackberrys at work (T-Mobile) only about half of them show the phone number. I think it's a T-mobile issue.

Haha yeah it isn't a big deal at all, its the least of my problems with this phone right now haha, trying to get root with permission denied staring you in the face is hard to do hahaha
it happened to me also...a reboot fixed it...it was weird though...it happened after i installed the new market and after reboot the # showed up but the market reverted to the old one...idk if it's connected or it was just a coincidence...
Some of the apps need to read the number from the phone for them to work properly
So this will cause an issue for sure
I have tried rebooting and it doesnt seem to fix the problem at all
It has something to do with the sim card. You can call T-Mobile and have them resend it to the sim. If that don't work just get a new sim.

Mine shows unknown number too. What are the odds of us all have an issue with the sim card? Could it just be a gingerbread or nexus s bug?
May (or may not) be the same issue....
If your phone number isn't recorded on your SIM card then android won't display a number (Stating the obvious I know....)
Just grab an old(er) phone (Sony Ericsson seem to work ok for this) and add in your number to the SIM. I think the menu option is something like "My Number".
If you search the Nexus One forums, there should be some non-crap instructions....
May also be of help:

I have this problem on a o2 uk sim. the phone also fails to collect the network time and date values. Could this be something to do with the gps issue I'm having? Maybe its not reading the mobile network properly?

Might be related to o2 not sending the info over their network. I've not managed to get this to work on my N1 as of yet - will try and confirm on the S later today.

Should be able to yes, but for Data only of course.
Has anyone actually tried this yet? I'm on T-Mobile, and if it would be possible to swap my SIM between my phone (Nexus 4 on order) and the 3G Nexus 7, I'd certainly buy the N7. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this.
If AT&T screens out the IMEI it won't work.

T-Mobile is already confirmed to be screening out the IMEI of the Nexus 7.
I do see you have posted in the Springboard forum. In theory the Springboard SIM (trimmed) should work fine.
Any update on At&t cellphone sim working in an N7?
T-Mobile Sim tied to IMEI
I just purchased T-Mobile's prepaid data plan. There's a couple of things. When setting up the SIM, they did require a IMEI to activate the data. Without it, it showed T-Mobile as the carrier on the lock screen but never pulled data. And T-Mobile's SIM rules require that if you do prepay, you must reload/use it as frequent as not having a 90 day window between uses/purchases... otherwise the SIM will be deactivated and you'll have to do it all over again.
Hope that helps.

I think that's because, when you give T-Mobile an IMEI on prepaid, they use that to determine whether they are going to provision you a voice or data line. You can still probably use that SIM in other tablets or maybe even mobile broadband devices. Unclear whether it'd work fine in tablets or phones with IMEIs they don't recognize. They'd probably block it if you put the SIM into a phone they recognize.

The SIM they gave me was specific for their data only plans.
Nonetheless, I think the system doesn't differentiate between types of SIM until it gets activated.

Hey guys. I saw a Nexus 4 (16GB). It had the baseband version of "m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.33"
I live in Pakistan so i have no 3G/4G/LTE (yup we're that backwards!)
This phone couldn't detect my 2G operated SIM Card :/
Where it detects and worked well with my Galaxy SIII
Still haven't bought that Nexus 4 (buying it 2nd hand).
A person confused me in saying that is was a "CDMA PHONE AND IT CAN'T WORK WITH UR GSM SIMs AND ROOTING/MODDING WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS"
Is he telling the truth? This phone was actually a bargain for me and had no problems whatsoever in the Hardware/Software wise other than the above
Can someone please elaborate this? thank you

He is completely wrong. Nexus 4 is GSM only, with no CDMA variant. If your SIII worked, I don't see why the Nexus 4 wouldn't. It appears to be running an older radio firmware, maybe updating it to 4.2.2 would help.

Pretty much this. Try flashing a newer version of the radio.
Maybe your friend was right (backwards, but right). Your carrier might be CDMA. I know there aren't a lot of carriers that use CDMA outside the US, but maybe your carrier is one of the few. I would try updating the radio first before completely giving up on it though. If you can find out whether they are CDMA or not, that'd help decide whether you can use the Nexus 4.
Oh, and "ROOTING/MODDING WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS" is kind of misleading. Yes, technically, flashing new ROMs can affect the signals and stuff, but if you flash a ROM that has had plenty of testing, you'll be fine. Just pick a semi-popular one.

What's the version of android? If it's 4.2.2 the baseband should either be 48 or 54. 33 is an old one.
Does calling work? Or both calls as well as data don't work?
If it's just data you need to make sure data is enabled in settings and also your operators APN is present.

I have flashed 2 different images downloaded from Google and have even tried to install CleanRom. My issue is I get LTE data and can even receive messages, but absolutely no calls in or out. *#*#4636#*#* shows emergency calls only. This same sim works on my old phone still. My APN is exactly the same as my wife's Note 3 so that isn't the problem either. Can anybody help me figure out what is going on and how to fix it. Thanks

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
Is anyone else noticing the caller ID and spam protection setting turning itself off?
it's very annoying anyone solved the problem?
just tried clearing the data for the hiya system app will update if this seems to clear the problem
Just noticed it after seeing your thread, mine was turned off as well. I remember turning it on couple of days ago. Perhaps it might be controlled by the carrier end ?

And our unlocked Snapdragons are still the red headed stepchildren with no update.
The pop-up came some days ago but I didn't turn it on because of :
- if the call isn't from one of ùy contacts, it is masked or unknown, and I know what to do about the former.. not answering.
- As it is obviously a samsuing service, I don't see the point of putting myself more in the hands of a conglomerate than I'm already and I don't see how reliable might be the said service, considering that the official callers black list is a mess here in france (I let you decide for you guys in your respective countries).
My point is : are we SO busy, SO amateur, SO lazy and SO mobile enslaved to jump on every notification from our devices ?
can someone point out where this setting is? I searched for call, caller, and spam in settings to no avail.

Open the Phone App, tap on the 3 dots on the search bar and then open settings. If it isn't there then its disabled by your carrier if you have a carrier branded phone.

give the man a cigar, verizon calls it caller name ID, but the real head trip is that their customer service people typically don't know it exists until you explain it functions like the old landline automatic caller ID, it costs $2.99/mo, but i've had it literally ever since i bought the moto z and it still mostly worked on the s10+ to this day, i love having it too, people call at random i answer "hi steve, don't spam me again you prick" and hang up, dude calls back later freaked out i knew his name already, worth the $2.99 easy for the giggles.

Well, everyone is different. In my case I also prefer not to pick up when a number is blocked or the nr is not in my contact list. However, I regularly get calls from Dr's, hospitals or other people related to the care of my parents, so I like the opportunity to be able to distinguish one of those calls with that of a recruiter or some company that wants to sell me something.
