[Q] Phone Number Uknown ? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my MT4G does not want to show my number under about phone, i sometimes use Tikl but now i cant. Does any one know how to fix this maybe an app so i can set my number?
i also had this problem on my mytouch 3g slide but after installing a ROM i had the optiong to set my number, Maybe one of the current ROMS for the MT4G have this option? if yes please tell me.

i have this too, it's kinda weird but it's not like you dont know your own phone # LOL. Did you check your screen yet?

Yea my screen is good.
I know its not a big deal but it still helps to use certain apps.

why do you need the apps to know your phone number? that really dosent make sense

Sure it does when the app uses your # to link to your know contacts with the app so u don't have to register with yet another user name and password. Idk what rom your running, but go into call settings and additional,settings and put your # there

I am currently running stock, i know about that additional information but it doesn't seem to be there in the stock ROM :S, that is why i was asking if it is there with any of the other ROMs such as glacier or cm6/7

Cm6 and 7 does bro. I didn't have to do it on stock. Shrug

menu > settings > call settings > additional settings > my phone number > type it in and your good to go.

Someone already mentioned this and i already knew about it but the stock ROM does not have this option

theres an app in the market called my phone number. that will do what you need.

I found a way to force the OTA update.

I have searched around and I couldn't find anyone that has mentioned this before. If you really want the JI6 and don't want to use Kies and when you hit the "software update button" it shows "no firmware" I found a way to force it.
*****JI6 bricks a lot of phones. rooted or unrooted... so be careful! I would unroot and remove any lagfixes just to be safe. If you're phone gets bricked it is not because of this method. it is because JI6 has issues. if you do get bricked... check out this thread: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?p=8522603#post8522603****
**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**
If you already have launcher pro:
1) goto your homescreen.
2) menu key, add.
3) hit shortcuts and then activities.
4) scroll down to device management
5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok
6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.
7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.
if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.
1) goto the market.
2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"
3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.
4) install that.
5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]
6) then, follow the steps above
Wao...thanks
Wating for froyo now

Is this for all countries or just the current?
I'm pretty sure its just for the states.
however i was messing around in the settings of that shortcut... and it apears that you can mess with the DM server connection settings and you can mess with a bunch of stuff... so maybe if you change the APN to whatever carrier you are using it would work??
Try it. follow my steps above. goto settings then DM connection settings and edit the network profile apn settings.

This might lead to other cool stuff down the road as well... there are some really cool settings in that shortcut. you can change it to "lab" and "production" profile... so maybe we can get a leaked froyo a little early??

Same thing here! I am completely new on this.
What's launcher pro? I have the American Vibrant but I am using in Germany. Would it work?
This worked for me. Good post. Downloaded Launcher Pro from the market (Free), and then followed these directions. Immediately my 3G arrows were working overtime, and withing 3min I had the OTA available message.

the wssappdmuimain is the first shortcut. Just select it and say ok. It should place a shortcut on your home screen that says device management with a blue and red arrow. Then open that shortcut and hit software update.
Maybe in blind but where is the activities shortcut?

Followed intructions to the T. I would suggest doing it over WIFI.
I click on the shortcut and received the update in less than 2 mins.
Installation over WIFI took 4 mins. Hung at the S screen for 3 mins.
Kept all setting and apps, everything works. GPS locked onto 8 out of 12 sats in less than 10 seconds.
3g signal is increased, wifi signal seems to be increased as well..
Awsome find.........
New to all this.

The list is alphabetical... so... yeah. right under Daily briefing and DataCreate...
are you in the launcherpro activities list?
Well didnt work for me . I hit software update... the same arrow appear on the top of my phone but they disappeared like in 3 secs! Nothing happened afterwards.
As I have said, does anyone has idea if this would work being overseas? I have the American version, because I bought in NY on Craiglist... But right now I am in Germany.

Try this. homescreen > menu key > settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > access point names
What does it say? whatever is selected and if your data is working... write down that APN.
THEN. if you still have the device management shortcut on your homescreen. go into that. select settings then network profile then for the APN change it to whatever you are currently using for your german carrier.
let me know if this works. if it does not and you need to revert the settings the tmobile apn is: epc.tmobile.com

Phone Status wrong number

I just flashed to Cyanogen and my phone status screen is showing the wrong phone number. How do I change this? I had the number changed on my Evo a few weeks ago and the rep had me type some numbers into the dialer but I guess the settings dont stay after a flash.
bump to the top
No one knows how to change this at all?
Search for EPST

Thanks, Ive found alot of info but none of it helps me. I installed EPST 2.1 and it still doenst respond to ##778# or ##775#. I can get to the phone info settings where the SMSC can be changed and it shows my incorrect phone number on that screen but wont allow me to change it.

First do a nan backup then flash a sense Rom, this is The only way the above codes will work, I think. I think you can change it in *#*3282#*#
You will need the msl number to edit it. Just call and ask sprint for it (I think its called msl)

settings - wireless and network - mobile networks - access point names
in there are one, some or many APN's (acess point names)
Its a full page to explain everything, just find out what your settings are, and have a play, and a damned good read on here. after you make a change, press start and choose save, else it wont change till you soft reset. sometimes it seems not to change anyway till you reset.
if you are testing mms and a pic gets stuck on 'sending', , they generally never go, even when you finally get the settings right, so ditch it and send another.

use it for wifi only

Is there a way to use the phone with a rom for wi-fi only use? I don't want my phone number associated with the phone, I did a factory reset and installed CM on it but it still shows my phone number.

If its activated, then it will show your phone number, that info is stored in a separate partition from /data (this is cleared with a "factory reset") and from /system (this is where roms are installed to)
Either use the Ubersonic Inactive Device ROM or cancel/deactivate the phones cellular account.
Even if you cancel /deactivate the account the old number will be shown. The only way to get rid of the number is to remove it with qpst. That is a bunch of work with no real gain. Just don't worry about it and use any rom of your choice.

Even if the phone was deactivated and then wiped, it would still come up?
The phones number? Not the ESN/MEID

Yes that is what we all have said. Yet you can edit out the phone number in qpst. Then only thing shown on a rom would be the esn/meid.

Good question OP, it is a somewhat obscure topic.
I'm not going to try and tell you what you should or shouldn't worry about.
Do what you want.
If you decide it to be necessary here is the concept you need that can be done from your phone.

Do this after ##786#
##YourMSL#
Fill both lines (MDN/MSID) with anything.
Menu
Commit Modifications
Reboot
Done
Now check your MDN
looks like the ubersonic rom might be what I'm looking for, going to give it a try!
Thanks for suggesting that.

Yeah, that's what I would do.
Just got it installed, looks like that is what I was looking for. Going to use it at work with a generic Pandora login for everyone in my area to use. Thanks again for the suggestion!
Thank you to the OP for this idea... I didn't even think to use my old evo as a wifi pandora radio. I knew I kept this thing around for a reason
What I do is toggle airplane mode "on" then toggle WiFi "on". This shuts off the phones radio and some other things that really drain your battery. I have kept mine on for almost 3 days without it dying.

Any way to choose 2G only on the G2?

I don't have that option available on settings.
I have automatic 2G/3G/4G, automatic 2G/3G and 3G only.
Thanks.
Press *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer, go to phone information and change it from there if you can't change it in settings.

Tried that but I get a message saying this option/application is not available on this phone.
Is it because my G2 is carrier branded?
Would a unbranded stock rom fix this and let me change it?
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo It does the same thing as the code.
That?

How did you do that? How can I enable that option?
I guess it was deleted but still shows up for me since I already have it installed. The developer has 2 more versions, this one seems to be ad supported: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.myc.android.PhoneInfoV2Ad
I guess this option might be available if I flash and try other custom roms or kdz from other regions.

I found a way, but cell signal isn't great still.
I read that the antenna is located on the bottom right side of the phone and it's like the antennagate of the iPhone 4. I think they're right.
