As a non-USA user of the Atrix, I'm finding a few little issues with it formatting phone numbers as 000-000-0000 when in Australia we generally format them as 00-0000-0000. Does anyone know of a way to change this?
+1 on this same thing.
I really hate how ics changes de phone no.
Any way to disable it?
Change you region in the settings. Android should format it in accordance to it.
Doesn't work. No matter wich language I choose it the same format.

Had the same problem on my x10 - I put the sim card into my crappy old Samsung tocco and put the number in on their (it records it on the SIM card). then when I put it back into my x10 it was fine..
That number is stored on the sim. There's no way to set it in android. You need to use a phone that is able to set it through it's phone book settings. Possibly an older non smartphone model. I'm able to set out using an old sony ericsson k800i.

Can you give me a step-by-step on how to do this? I've been digging through my K790a trying to but I can't seem to find an option to teach the SIM its own number. Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot, found it. (Contacts > Options > Special Numbers > My Numbers > My Mobile, for anyone else having trouble finding it)
Thanks for solving the problem... Used my Motorola motozine zn5 for the purpose... I can see my number now...!!!

is it possible to change the sound of the keyboard?
If possible. Is there a way to pull the sound from words with friends?
If not. Is there a way to pull it anyway. And use it for a ringtone?
Thanks

First you would have to find the default keyboard sound. If I am right, I think you might have to modify the system files to default to new sound rather than the original one. I dont believe you can simply swap the sounds. Second, you would have to know what the specific words with friends sound file name is to locate it and copy it.
I am not saying what your asking to do is impossible, but probably too invloved.
Under the the android forums, apps and development section, someone posted an app that they made that can change the system sounds. I haven't tried it out, but pretty sure you could do the keyboard with that app.

5. Just press the home button to exit the browser. In a well behaved app it will just sit in memory not using any CPU or any battery. android will silently kill the browser app if it needs the ram for another app.
Unfortunately this only works if the app is well behaved. The XDA forum app for example is a bad app. As it breaks the Android guide lines because after you press the home button the app still servers adverts in the background eating up CPU.
A good Android app is meant to COMPLETELY shut down when the app is not visible (by pressing for example the home button). So it does not matter that it is sitting in ram as it is not using any CPU or battery.
Thanks louis
my 6th question also got sorted
So now just first four question remaining
Plz reply if u know the answers

Restore factory settings or not your choice .

1. The email address you entered should not effect the updates from Kies. However the carrier branding (eg T-Mobile) can prevent updates from comming through. What version are you on? My last update from Kies brought me upto build KF3.
The locked email is purely required for app purchases. If you get a replacement phone, using the same email address will restore all your download apps. However if you want to sell your phone then you need to wipe the phone so the buyer can't use your account.
Hey Shantanu, you Bengali or what?
1- If you meant Firmware update, then you just plug the device in with PC and run Kies, if there is an update available it will say.
3- It's a Diary with Location/Geo tagging feature.
6- Just press Home button to minimize from Stock browser, then Exit via Task Manager.
Regards.

I used only two Nokia's before, E90, N95, they were Symbian and supported the OTA update, but this ain't Symbian, nor Nokia.
Yup I knw. Its new operating system at least for me so its obvious that I won't be having knowledge of it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
It is the build number I was asking for and who is your carrier? The carrier branding can stop the update coming through Kies (the carrier has to proved the updates and a lot of them don't bother.)
Can u tell where would I get that

So has anyone used this app since the 3.2 update? From what I can see, it has more capabilities to available then I seem to remember from before(though I could be wrong) and the sim slot can read sim cards now(at least it read my T-Mobile sim card). I did change my network in the settings to GSM/UTMS/EvDO/CDMA and in the phone information test area it now says GSM/CDMA Auto PRL just like my Nexus S does on T-Mobile, even after rebooting. Sadly I don't know if this even matters, or if all the changeable settings would allow the use of GSM. Nor do I know enough to attempt to make this work. Just thought I'd share my "findings", and if they are in fact useless I'm sorry for wasting peoples time.

Hold the volume up and down buttons as you turn the xoom on. You will see cold booting linux in the top left of the screen, followed by,more text like LTE off. Once the xoom is finished booting, in the app drawer there will be a Field Utils app with the Motorola logo. The codes will be 000000
I guess I'm really wondering if we can unlocked this device like we can phones.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
using a wifi only model. the unit has the field utils app however the six zeroes (000000) do not work for the spc password.
Yeah i saw this in the app list but never knew what it was. Cant do anything with it and dont see the apk in the usual directories. Dont think wifi only version would be able to get the cell network working as type hardware for it should be missing. Maybe there is hardware somewhere and maybe some day there may be guide how to install it and get it working.

Read post #3 in this thread......
yes when i get into the radio part it runs tests and says "CANT FIND NONE" LOL.. however there is a screen test and program (or some such) test that the wifi unit could still benefit from..
would like to know the correct SPC to at least try the other tests...

Hoping someone has some suggestions here. The way amazon Kindle works is that certain items are available on tablets and others on any device (smartphones). So if I install the Kindle app, certain items can't be downloaded to the Note 3 because they are "not compatible" (which is crap because the N3 has more resolution and power than my tablet which is compatible).
I'm thinking that the build.prop setting for phone or tablet determines which the app thinks it is installed on. I was hoping that Xposed had a means to fool this. I've tried different DPI settings (and clearing app data) and can change the layout but the app still classifies as a phone (you can tell by the device name). What I don't know is if this is determined on install or initial launch. If it is on install, could app settings even help?
Am I missing something in app settings or Xposed that could handle this?
Sorry, was replying before proper reading. Never mind...
Bump. Any ideas?
Did you try clearing the app data after using app settings?

I did, yes. Is it possible that the install procedure sets the tablet/phone option for the first launch? I don't know if android apk installs have that kind of script capability or not?
If that was the case, would the build prop need to be modified? I have to believe that it reads the build prop to see phone or tablet. And if that is the case, is there no way for xposed to do it?
