when i look at seeing>about>status>my phone number it says unknown.
i would like to find a way to enter my own phone number since it is needed for google voice.
ive tried looking at my sim toolkit but no option will allow me to enter my phone number.
please help.

Take your sim card out, insert it into a dumb phone that has the option of setting your own phone number and then back into your SII. Android can't recognize phone number, so this is probably the only way to do it.

Stick the SIM in any iPhone, go to Settings > Phone. Then edit "My Number".
This can also be done in any BlackBerry (as I did using a friend's Curve 8520), although I don't remember which menus I went into.
you can also do it on an iphone (as i have previously)

I just found a way to get the Galaxy S2 to display "My Phone Number" without having to go through putting it in another phone etc..
All I did was go to Settings -> Call -> Additional Settings -> Caller ID.
Then I just changed the selection from "Network Default" to "Show Number" then hey presto I went to Settings -> About Phone -> Status, then looked at "My Phone number" and it was displayed correctly in there with the country code and everything.
Hope this helps you guys out..
Cheers

unfortunately it didnt work for me, maybe the feature is disabled by my carrier.
Yep, didn't work for me either... I'm on Telstra Australia with an i9100 I bought elsewhere though it supports the 850mHz band...
Helluva lot cheaper than buying it from Telstra....
Can we do this using one of the SGS2 secret codes?

I just activated a Droid Incredible.When I get a voicemail,I get a notification on the front of the phone,telling me to dial "*86#xxxx#"
The xxxx is my voicemail passcode for when I retrieve my messages.I have it programmed into the provider's voicemail system.When I long press "1" it retrieves my mail.
I need a notification on the phone when I have a voicemail,but to have my passcode in full view is not cool.How can I change that?
Have you tried Google voice? Its better integrated with our smart phones than the carrier's option, though I understand everyone has their preferences.
That's one solution!

Does that change the display only? Because what I have in there is what I want to dial when I hold down the "1" key.
I also don't want to have to listen for prompts and key in my code everytime I check for voicemails.
I'm pretty sure there's an option once you're in your voicemail to change whether or not you have to put your code in each time you check it from your phone. just listen to all the prompts and go through the options.

*86p????#

That is what I do now,it works fine.
But when someone leaves a voicemail,I get a notice on the display telling me of the time of call and to "dial *86p????#"
If I have my phone put down somewhere anyone can happen by and see my passcode.I am trying prevent my passcode from being displayed.Maybe I am missing something?
I am running froyo and the stock ROM.

Ah i see i misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish. I dont know of any way to make the notification not show your password. It is going to show what ever is programed in the voicemail settings.

There is no way around this. i use the same thing so i dont have to type my password in. you would have to use Google voice to get around it.
Cannot forward to Google Voice number for voicemail on Nexus 4
I get invalid mmi number or connection problem.
Can any one help me.
I am having similar issues. With straight talk t mobile

Op, are you on T-Mobile? If so, I didn't think Google voice voicemail works be cause they don't allow call forwarding. I could be wrong but that might be the issue.
EDIT: I meant T-Mobile pre-paid, not postpaid
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Are you on prepaid? It won't work with T mobile pre paid plans at least.
Also, make sure you aren't on WIFI, for some reason it wouldn't work on wifi(but this was with the S3 and wifi calling) but you can try.
Also, try doing it from the voice website, it'll give you a code to input and that may work.
Mine works fine and I am on T-Mobile. Go to your phone, then hit settings. Then go to Voicemail and make sure the service is set to Google Voice.

did you set up the app on your phone? (install, configure, go to phone -> settings -> voicemail and check Google Voice) and then go to voice.google.com on your PC, settings, Phones tab, Activate voicemail -> get the MMI code from there?
mine has worked fine on AT&T for years doing the above steps.
EDIT: see screenshot... where mine says "deactivate voicemail", are you clicking "Activate Voicemail" to get your MMI code? that's where it needs to come from... (just trying to trouble-shoot for ya).

hmm... not sure what to tell you. in voice.google.com , settings, click deactivate voicemail... then uninstall the app off your phone, then start over...
install app, setup, configure
then click "reactivate voicemail" at voice.google.com...
if that still doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help.
Google Voice and T-Mobile
This is what I did to work on T-Mobile.
Google voice will work for text, making calls, and catching voicemails for missed calls. However, if you ignore the call, it will go to your T-mobile voicemail.
What I did was call T-mobile and told them to deactivate my vm (it's a common request they get)
Then I created a contact in my phone book and I entered my tmobile (not gv number) and I set the option to sen to VM whenever called
Then I wen into the voicemail options and changed the number of the VM (put this number in the contacts as well as you might want to reference it later) from the t-mobile number to the google voice number
After than, google voice works like normal. No need to set up conditional call forwarding.

Try to run the configuration again and see if it sets up correctly. Sometimes it doesn't do right and you must run it again.
If you ported your number, you may need to refresh things on Google and your phone.
On a PC, go to voice.google.com > settings > Mobile > Edit > and "Carrier: check operator"
Then show advanced settings and under Forwarding options, deactivate, then reactivate this.
Next, on your phone, go to Settings > Apps > Google Voice > Clear Data
Then setup Google Voice app from scratch.
If you still have issues, you may need to delete your mobile phone from GV website, then re-add it from scratch.
I have been using verizon galaxy s5 on t-mobile for 2 months now. Lately I started noticing that when I initiate a call it loses all the bars, 4GLTE, 3G, H+, E all disappear. During the call touch tone DTMF is not recognized, cannot select menus or dial extensions. Also, no call waiting.
Tried upgrading to the latest 4.4.4 via Odin, did not change anything.
Anyone has this issue with g900v used on tmobile network?
PS: Using with my old tmobile galaxy s2 call/data works simultaneously. Bars do not disappear, and call waiting, DTMF also works.

Is the IMEI and Baseband still valid, and is not null?
Check your Baseband version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (under FIRMWARE INFO section).
And also dial the secret code *#2263# and see what option is selected?
Thanks vndnguyen,
I can't find the imei under Settings>About phone
Baseband: G900VVRU1ANHA
Dialing the code *#2263# did not do anything. None of the secret codes seem to work, even *#06#.
If IMEI was the issue, would I still get signal and make/accept calls? I can make/accept calls. 4G LTE works fine.

1- Try to select WCDMA/GSM Mode or LTE/GSM Mode and see if any changes?
2- And also, is the IMEI still valid in the 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app? (under DEVICE ID section).
3- Launch the secret code 4636 (Testing Menu) > Device information > Set preferred network type, and see what option is selected?

1- You said that it loses all the signal bars when you make a call, right? But when it is in idle state (no call), does it receive a good signal?
2- Can you access to the Internet using E/3G/H+/4G/LTE?
3- Open dialer, enter *#2263# and capture the screenshot.
4- Then press Menu button > Key Input > enter Q0 > tap OK > wait... until it shows MAIN MENU > select DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > MM INFORMATION and capture screenshot.

The correct code is *#2263#, not *#2263##.
However the secret codes may not work on Verizon phone. If you have root, you can use my app to launch the secret code:
open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > tap on 2263 and select 'Launch 0'.
Root it ?
Alright, well I have to root first? Because I've tried to enter *#2263# and nothing happen as well. So, root it then try this?

It's up to you. In fact I want to check for the network error cause and call reject cause (if any).
These info can be obtained using secret codes above.
It is weird that you can received signal from the mobile network, can connect to the Internet using mobile data connection, but can not get a call.

It's not that I can't get a call it's just that when I initiate a call the phone just starts acting like a Verizon phone (thinking it's a CDMA) phone I assume and drops everything. just as the user mazyland explained. I'm using your app and nothing is happening
So you still can make a call? You can talk with the other side? Or the call just droped and no conversation at al?
Sorry I cannot realize the problem.
Regarding secret code *#2262#, as I have said, due to Samsung (or Verizon) security policy, you cannot launch this code on Verizon phone without root.
If you have root, use my app, select secret code 2263 and select 'Launch 0'.
Call Connects
Yes. Connects all the way through and the person can hear me on the other side. Added a picture of what my screen looks like while making a call. Added one where it just drops all the bars and for aome odd reason this time the bars stayed but data still disappeared, first time that happened. Also, I'll root my device as soon as possible and let tou know whats up. Any of suggestions till then?
Can't Call This Time

Alright so i tried making a three way call and it seemed that the phone loses all signal strength during the firat initial call. Preventng me from be able to receive or call anyone else. Its as if im tethered to the one call only. I tried making a call real fast by adding a second caller but it just said something like "no sim error". I had no data and signal. Did i explain that well?
Honestly I don't know why this happens, very weird.
The only cause I can guess is that maybe the firmware error?
