Phone number in about phone???? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM MY NUMBER. FOR EXAMPLE IF I CLICK ON TIKL WHICH IS A WALKIE TALKIE THAT GOES BY YOUR PHONE NUMBER IT WONT LET ME USE IT BECAUSE, MY PHONE DOESNT RECOGNIZE MY TELEFONE NUMBER.... DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PROgram the phone number into the phone, sorry about the caps lock didnt notice.... im using simple mobile....thanks please pm me on this if you know anything about this thanks

It would have been actually helpful if you stated which rom you used. But ill take it as CM7 as its very common problem.
Settings> Call Settings> Additional settings> My phone number.
So when you assign it there it shows up under about phone.

if you google your question, it would suggest calling tmobile to configure the sim phone number for you...im running on stock. or just use facebook contacts

Did somebody know how to disable functionality in Phone mode that is sending Your Phone number ID, to the call receiver?....or in other words...is it possible make anonimous phone calls?..
tnx
There are 2 ways. Ask your provider to permanently switch off caller id or go to Start - Settings - Personal - Phone - Services - Caller ID - Get Settings - No one

Of course, you realize that the Cell Phone company still knows you made the call, and whom you called? So it is anonymous only to the receiving party, not in any permanent sense.
Yeah, we should fix that too ! No more bills (Big OR small) :lol:
should be interesting in fact....aha....thanks to ZERIMAR... i was able to redefine the settings avoiding to send ID nr. to my frends......
Didn't the GSM network have anoption never to show Call-ID, unless you put some code in front of the tel.number ?
Or was it the other way around ?
Instead of permanently disable Call ID forwarding through Phone->Settings as suggested, in Italy we have also a code you can put before the number you're calling that disable the ID just for that call. The code is *06#. Maybe other countries are using the same code too, don't know.

Yea it is but if i want t permanently hidden , i should redefine all numbers in phone memory adding this code in front...and then if somebody is calling me, ID is not going to be linked to the number in phone memory......better set up everything in the the phone functions directly....

where is mobile justice

where is mobile justice in the tnt 2.0 pro at thanks
You can get it here - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
I'm still trying to figure out exactly why anyone with a wizard (or any model that doesn't have GPS integrated into it, which is most of them) would want to use it anyway. The only thing you can do with it is send text messages to whoever stole it that will show up on the screen without them actually knowing that they recieved a text message. Doesn't seem like much of a deterent to me.
programs/accessories/MJConfig <<<
Just curious, I went to the Mobile Justice site and it implies it only works on GPS enabled phones. Will it still work on a MDA, and if so, will it transmit SIM information so you can identify the thief or provide information to the police so they can track it down?

You haven't looked to see what all the program does... Sure we can't use the GPS part, but the main feature is you register your SIM card(s) to MobileJustice and if someone was to put in a SIM card that isn't registered, when the phone reboots it will send out an SMS to devices you have registered. You will then have the phone number of the sim that is now in your phone.
And yes, you can then send SMS to that phone number in a formatted way (if you enable this feature) and text boxes will show up on the phone...
I've also put in a request with the author to have another reply type message so you can send an SMS to the phone and it will reply back with the IMSI of the SIM card currently installed (so you can report both the IMSI and phone number to your carrier. Hopefully you keep your IMEI number safe someplace already so you can report that as well).
So this is a very capable freeware program for the Wizard. We just can't use the GPS feature (although if the thief hooks a GPS device up to it, that may work. Anyone with a GPS attachment that can test that?)
Sorry mfrazzz, I for some reason forgot the fact that it sent you back their phone number also.
Another thing that would be cool if the programmer could add would be if it sent you back their sim contacts, that way you could start calling all of their contacts and let them know that their son/daughter/employee/spouse/friend or whatever is a thief and possibly find out the persons name and maybe even their address in the process. That way you could notify the police exactly who stole it as you're filling out the stolen phone report.

Actually I think its been requested for either that, or access to the PIM database (too much info I'd think for that though).

Cant change Caller ID display setting :( helpppp

Hey guys, dont know why but when i go to Settings/Phone/Services/Caller ID/Get Settings, its on NO ONE, but yet people still see my number, when i try to change to Contacts Only, and than OK, when i come back to the screen its back on NO ONE, but yet again still phone number comes up. I need to disable this ASAP! i cant have people seeing my number for work purposes becuase i call alot of clients and dont want my number exposed like that
bumpppp ????
I don know about your country's telco. But then as for my country, Call ID display is dependent on the subscriber services. We will have to subscribe to Caller ID no display in order not to show our mobile no to the receiving party.
So to me the caller ID in the settings does not applicable to me.
well im on Tmobile in USA, and i was always able to switch it, but i dont know what i did or installed, but its not working anymore
I thought this was an operator setting?

mystery bug -using an access code to dial internationally - TouchHD/WM6.1

Hello,
I often use an access code to dial internationally, and once I am connected to that access number, I have to enter the number of the person I am calling.
I have an HTC Touch HD with WM6.1pro and cannot find a way to do it. If I connect to the access number, then at the prompt go to my address book and dial a second number, it assumes I want to have two separate calls and puts the access code on Hold... which is not what I want! I do not remember all my friend's numbers, so I do have to use the address book.
With my old nokia n95, once connected I could go to the menu and say I want to dial a DTMF which is the tone you hear when dialing a normal phone. This allows me to follow on with calling the number I need while connected to the call.
Is there a way of doing this on WM6?
I have a kind of work around. I edit my international friends phone numbers as a "car phone" and the numbers look like this
02081802828 p 0027115555555
the access code, then I add p to pause then their number.
The HUGE problem is that when I dial any of my international contacts, the phone displays the same person... so no matter who I call internationally, it always shows a photo of my friend Ian, and displays his name instead of the person I am actually speaking to. I think this is a bug where WM6.1 only looks at the first 11 characters of a number, but the problem is, all my intl numbers have the same first 11 numbers.
Help MUCH appreciated, thanks,
Mark.

Don't know if it will work... but you coud try (using Advanced Config) to increase the number of digits used to "match" the numbers in the contacts... for example to 18 or 19 numbers... but I cannot immagine what other "consequencies"could happen...
Let us know !

Hi Kostas
It seems that the problem is actually with spb Mobile Shell and not windows mobile.
When I dial using the windows mobile dialler, it gets the name and picture right, but when I use spb's dialler it shows the wrong person and name...
I will chase it up with them... and thanks for the good idea, unfortunately the Call ID Match does not help the problem.
Efgaristo!

TiKL Push to Talk Walkie app?

I don't know if this is something I just need to be patient for or if there is a simple fix for but I can't get TiKL Push to Talk Walkie app to work for my HD2...
When I start up the app it prompts me with the following:
"Your phone is programmed with an empty number.
Verify it by going to your home screen ->Menu->Settings->About Phone-> Status->My Phone number.
Please call your carrier to get it fixed before using TiKL."
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Do they have that app in the market
I use Tikl with no problems with my HD2 Android. Any build, and I've used almost every one, except the eclair build. It's a great app, which I mainly use when I'm driving... so no more text and drive =)
What I know is that you can only talk to those who have android & Tikl installed. you must assign a contact or contact(s) who you want to talk to. Of course, like I said, the others receiving the call / connection MUST have Tikl.
Works fine for me I was able to tikl with MT wife yesterday with cm6rc1
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
Im on TMOUS and running mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1 w/ radio Radio_2_12_50_02_2.
I know all the requirements. I It will let me choose the contact... but when I click the talk button it prompts me:
"Your phone is programmed with an empty number.
Verify it by going to your home screen ->Menu->Settings->About Phone-> Status->My Phone number.
Please call your carrier to get it fixed before using TiKL."
again.
When I go to home screen ->Menu->Settings->About Phone-> Status->My Phone number. It says unknown....
Thats where my problem is and I dont know how to fix it.
i have tried every build out there....still no success with this app. everything works accept this app....when i go to use it the connection just drops and and then i have to re-establish a connection...everything else woorks fine on the phone....im using miui android, 2.15.50.14 radio with evo cell rom....could you help?
I never got that app working either, but I have had HeyTell working and it's great.

not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9140524#post9140524
i posted how i got mines working.
If you boot into wm you can set your number in the settings there, which saves it on the sim for android too. This got it working for me.
