Recently I have been having this problem where my phone will have connection to the network for about 3 hours max then it will loose service completly. Then if i try and switch to 2g only it doesnt do anything but stay without connection then i will restart the phone and it will give me the no SIM card notification and even if i try and select the network manually it will say SIM card not registered on network anyone having these same issues.
I am running JF1.5ADP with lucids apps to sd
PS I have switched sim cards 5 times and a number change and even a ban number change any suggestions before i junk this thing and get an iphone.

After that, nope. Go.
I had this happen to me once. I rebooted a few times, and Reseated the SIM card and that seemed to fix it( Although, i don't think that is what actually remedied the problem). That happened about a week ago, and i haven't had any problems since.
Running JF1.5ADP Also.
Oh, And c_low: Don't come into an Android Forum and start talking about getting an *phone. I don't think it'll get you any non flame replies.

I'm working on a fix for this. It does not affect all people, but so far I have tried reinstalling the radio, changing to other builds, but any and all 2.2 builds I try show this. If I install a 2.1 build, it will display the number without problem.
I'll be trying to change the format of the number on the SD Card later on today. Right now mine is 1xxxxxxxxxx. I will try 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx and just xxx-xxx-xxxx to see if that displays it.
Unfortunately, after that, I have nothing else to try and it will prove that the problem is, in fact, with the roms that the devs are using.
I don't know if this is something that will help, but this is something i tried for a customer at the store i work at. He was having the same problem so i called customer care and they pushed out a text message to him saying "welcome to your new [x plan] your number is xxx xxx xxxx.
After that we restarted and it displayed his number.
Alright...so I have some bad news...
I put my sim into a blackberry and changed the number from 1xxxxxxxxxx to just xxxxxxxxxx since you can't do dashes on the blackberry in the number field...restarted the slide with the sim, and it still showed "unknown."
I decided to check the sim that was in the blackberry, and sure enough, THE NUMBER DISPLAYED!
I just called T-Mobile again to see if they could provision my old sim card from my G1 but she said that it takes 2 weeks to go through the process to reactivate an old sim, but that I can go to a store for a new one and she noted in my account to waive the $20 fee.
She also said that she has helped out a ton of TIKL users for this same issue. She did say that for some she was able to send the ota provision of the number as long as the sim is placed into a non-android phone for the ota.
I'll post back tomorrow after I go to the T-Mobile store...
So at this point I'm at a loss...
Went to T-Mobile, got a new SIM card, popped it in...phone number unknown.
Came home, called Customer Care, spoke with a tech in the PDA/Smartphone department, he tried EVERYTHING he had done to get other Android phones to display the number...no luck...
I may just have to swap the phone out...
Well, its unfortunate, but apparently this is something the powers at be (Cyanogen, Chief, etc.) are going to have to fix. There is some incompatibility between their ROM, the radio software, and the SIM cards that is causing this issue.
I am back on Chief's 2.1 build and the number shows up no problem.
I'll forward this thread to Chief and Cyanogen and see if they are able to lend any support.
Thanks, and sorry!
I wouldn't blame it on the rom just yet...
I'm not so sure this is the ROM's fault.. as i have two phones here that disprove both things you've noticed on yours. I have rooted both mine and my husband's G1's and both are running Cyanogen ROMS. I'm running CM6 and my phone number displays just fine. His is running CM5.0.8 and the phone number is blank. In fact, I think I recall my phone number being missing at some point running an earlier CM rom and it came back on it's own.. I wasn't concerned with it at the time because everything worked so I can't say for sure WHEN it came back... but I've ran through MANY CM roms starting with 4.2.13. Hubby's phone was rooted and taken straight to 5.0.7 then later 5.0.8 (he doesn't like messing with experimental roms as much as I do. ).
Next time he's home (he's a truck driver ... one of the reason's he doesn't like to take chances with his phone) I'll pop his SIM back into one of the old Sidekicks we've got laying around collecting dust and see what happens... We were going to play around with TIKL and that's when we noticed the issue....and also when I noticed that my phone showed the number again.
It's definitely an odd thing. I have not tried calling T-Mo yet to see if they can OTA the number to his phone... what's this about it having to be a non-android for this to work? First I've seen mention of that.
Currently, I'm not rooted yet, and had this problem, I thought I was the doing of a suspesius app for music download I had, I cheched all other apps, and that one was the current one that read phone state and identity, I removed it and shut down took off battery and restarted. I did it twise, and even thought I'm not sure if it was that app fault, it's solved now thanks God

Call T-Mobile, make sure you get T2 or at least a rep that sounds like they know what they're doing in customer care, and tell them you need the "activation message sent via the OTI" and you'll also need your location cancelled. Works everytime I've done it.
SamZzz: Code mentioned that this happens sporadically on phones with any 2.2 based ROM. So there is something to do with the ROMs, but no one is quite sure yet. Luckily I am not having the problem, and so far, this seems to only be an issue for those using things like Tikl that rely n the number to be "known".
I've had this problem every since I got my SECOND G1. When I had my FIRST G1 I had it in my pocket and dumped a gallon of paint all down the front of me. Needless to say I needed a new phone after that. So I got a new one and it was fine for a while but I got a refurb and still had my original, paint covered SIM. It still worked fine but after a while I stopped receiving txts so I bought a new SIM and its the one I have in my slide right now, and it has NEVER shown my number as anything but UNKNOWN. In my g1 it said unknown. I have called tmobile numerous times and they'll tell me they're gonna fix it and tell me to check it in a couple hours and it should be fixed...never works. I honestly just kinda forgot about it. But its definitely not specific to one rom, or one device for that matter.

The reason it shows that is sometimes, for whatever reason, the sim doesn't push it's assigned mobile number to the phone itself. Making it unreadable, this actually happens on blackberries, iphones, etc as well. Just ask for that activation message via the OTA and that should fix it. As I've said, I have never had it fail for me when I have a customer experiencing the problem.
i am having the same problem. although its not a BIG deal but i do sometimes like to use tikl. but if what you are saying about having the activation message sent. if i change carriers will it get fixed? im asking because i will soon be changing carriers

It certainly should. It's always been the network/sim card not telling the phone the right information. So by changing networks it just quickly resolve itself. Especially with any cancel and then an activation.

I don't know how to explain this any other way....
My phone + my sim + ANY 2.2 ROM = phone number unknown
My phone + my sim + ANY 2.1 ROM = my phone number shows up correctly
My phone + my mom's sim + ANY 2.2 ROM = her phone number shows up correctly
I've called T-Mobile customer care 7 times over 2 weeks. They've sent probably 10 OTAs over multiple days. They have gone through what they do with every other customer with this problem. They suggested I go to a T-Mobile store and get a new sim card.
I went to T-Mobile, got a new sim card, number still shows up unknown in 2.2, but when I flash 2.1 it shows up no problem. I called customer care again, and they tried over and over to get it to display without any luck. They are at the point that they want to replace the phone. I will wait until T-Mobile releases 2.2 and see what it displays...
This is happening for A LOT of people.
PS - I just flashed the stable CM6 (8/28/10) and it still displays the number as unknown.
In CM6, hit Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number
The issue is because there's no MSISDN written to the SIM, and no tag name for it either. I added this option because I had the same issue. Just set your number and it will write it to the SIM.

While my sim did have the number stored as it showed up in 2.1, doing this DOES MAKE THE NUMBER DISPLAY!

The only options I have in "additional settings" is for Caller ID and Call Waiting. I don't have an option for "My Phone Number". I was on RC1 previously but flashed Stable last night.

Did you wipe before you installed? If so, try flashing stable again...it is there for me...
One issue though is that upon restart the number shows up as "unknown." You have to go back through this every time you restart your phone, but hey, its better than nothing!

Interesting, the closest thing I've seen is a blackberry do it before. Can't say I've ever seen it on an android device without an OTA working. If the OTA doesn't work on a blackberry you just have to manually program your number in. Perhaps if you have a friend or pop into a t-mo store they can let you use one temporarily to set it up. My memory sucks on it but once your sim is in the blackberry I *think* it's settings > options > advanced options > sim card > my number or stored number. Something like that. If you can get it, the thing is though, the ota does the same thing. So theoretically you shouldnt have to do this if it is a sim error. The fact you're saying it doesnt happen in any other versions of android with the same sim I would agree it has to be some glitch in the s/w. How to fix it besides trying a manual program in a blackberry or any other device that lets you do so is beyond me. ;/
Hi everybody !
I've got a 3G problem since I've flashed my Omnia. My operator is an MNVO and if you don't use Chevron (and an associated program), you can't have 3G. So I was in Diagnosis in the Debug Screen mod and unfortunatelly, my Omnia fell on my leg and that active the tactile screen like I touched it. Of memory, I was in the Phone Control menu. And now I've got really big problems to recept SMS.
In fact, I can phone, sell out SMS, receive SMS. But I often receive SMS which was sell one/two/three days earlier.
Of course, I want to reset my Omnia. I havn't many datas on it, so it isn't a problem !
I see this code on the Focus forum for the hard reset -> *2767*3855#
On a French forum (... Yes I'm French ! ), they said that settings I have entered are in the hardware part, and so their can't be chaned by a reset.
So solutions are reset or correction of the problem ?
I'm really sorry for my approximative English...
And I congratulate the XDA team for their excellent job !
Thank you !
Edit : I did an hard reset with this code : *2767*3855#
The problem is the same... So I need anyone who know how to configure Diagnosis for the SMS.
If you need informations for that, isn't a problem, just ask a question and I will answer
Now, this is interesting to me. I too would like to hear if anyone has any info on this. I've had my SIM card & Focus replaced once, due to this issue. Messages might show up from 5 minuts to 5 days late, often getting 40+ messages all at once. And they are random. Some messages come through immediately while others don't. I went in again to repair center recently and they said it has to be a network issue and they are looking into it.
But now, I wonder if it's something I might have done in the Diag Menu. Only thing's I've ever changed on this recent phone is going from v5-6 and DualMode. Nothing else was touched. Could these possibly cause the issue reported above? Only thing I've been able to do is a soft reset, but that does not Always work. I've even tried to set those two options back, but still having random SMS issues.
Yes it's the same problem...
I've found on Wiki the difference between REL 5 et REL 6, but I don't think this is the problem.
For me, I don't know what I touched. After to be fall on my leg, Diagnosis was immediatly close... So I don't know what is modified.
What is "Setting Cancellation" in GCF menu ?
Are you sure that noting else was modify on your phone ?

For the past few days, after a restart, I end up getting some messages. What a pain though. I've also got ATT looking at the server side AGAIN. They say 24-72 hours. I already did this last week, and nothing changed. I'm guessing they play a game of Solitare, then close the ticket. What gives them the right to close the ticket without confirming with me that it's working again? Frustrating. I've been with them for almost 20 years now, I hope they shape up soon, or, See Ya...

Maybe it's just a period. I don't know. The same day I used Diagnosis, I upgrade WP to NoDo with the Chevron Team method. Now they said that isn't a really good solution. Maybe it's introduce a bad config in the phone ? (I'm searching for every reasons...) Do you do this ?
And I introduce my SIM in another phone and my Omnia receive another SIM all the day and now it seems to be functional. But now I think in the futur days that will doesn't work... We will see...

When I received my replacement phone, it literally did the same thing on my drive home from the ATT Warranty Center. Before I got home, my wife called me asking why I was not responding to her texts. When I rebooted my phone, I had 6 messages that were not received when sent from 2 different people.
This was before I even touched the Diag Program on a brand new device with a brand new Sim. It MUST be something on the server, I just hope they fix it soon as I'm getting into hot water with people for not responding to their messages. My Dr's also send me info and I'm not getting some of those either. I've also been missing a few calls lately. I'll have 5 bars of signal, but my phone does not ring. Then all of a sudden, I've got a voicemail. strange...

I am in a conversation with 3 different people at the moment. If I don't restart my phone, I don't get ANY messages. When I restart, I get some of them and I need to restart again to get the rest! ATT said they would let me know on the 29th if they found any problems... That's exactly what they told me last time, but I never was told anything. When I called again the other day, they said they had closed that ticket. HUH? Without fixing anything and without notifying me or asking if I was finally getting messages? What the?
Maybe it's related with NoDo ? Well I explain :
In the same time I've used Diagnosis, I updated my Omnia with the Chevron Updater tool. And I read today NoDo was in pause for Omnia (and maybe Focus ?) because it creates many problems (if you understand French, I can give you the website ), but just on some Omnia, not all. I supposed that if my Omnia didn't receive the update, it is because it is concerned by these bugs. But since Nodo, I flashed my Omnia (so I'm with 7008 version), and I always have the problem.
So, can NoDo write on the hardware, like Diagnosis ? For me it is impossible, but I read on another website that Nodo brings some features in general, and some features with special model of Windows Phone. And for these features, I think that maybe it's possible for it to write on hardware ?
And, of course, my operator can't find a problem, but they follow this event...
EDIT: Phone was definitely stolen.
What (if anything) can I do to try to track it? Didn't have any apps installed for something like this
also, is there a way to access my SMS's that are coming in? Contacts are all stored in Gmail, so that's not an issue at least.
From your PC download "Plan B" by going to your account. As soon as the phone gets a signal it will install. You can track it remotely with another phone.

I did do that...hopefully it will get on there but haven't received any email yet with a location. I am very interested how i can quickly send and view my SMS's
VERY IMPORTANT for work reasons.
There is also Cerberus which works excellently, but I don't know if it can be installed and activated remotely.
Sent From Rob's ATRIX.
You can set up AT&T "family track" on your phone and it will go into effect immediately so you can get an exact location of your phone (if it is on). Even if you don't have AT&T I'm sure that rogers and other phone companies offer something similar if not the same thing.
MOTOBLUR's "track my phone" might work? And if you can't get it back at least you can initiate a remote wipe as you seemed to hint that there is a security issue or something there.

it's not the iPhone 5, is it...?
Honestly?..........Sorry to tell you but it's long gone if someone took it. Best bet you have is someone found it and is honest, but that doesn't happen often. Ignore the posts about installing apps..............you don't have your phone, not gonna happen!
Did you have it locked? If not you can't have been too worried about the security.
Call your carrier, have the phone logged as stolen, they will track it if it is turned on and active. They don't deactivate phones right away for this exact reason. If someone uses it they will try to track it through the numbers called on it.
If it has a stock ROM and you had a screen lock, your messages should be safe.
Your settings are tied to your Motoblur account.
Log into the Motoblur website and issue a remote wipe.
it was Neutrino Rom, pretty new install so not much private info on there...no screen lock or anything setup
I'm pretty sure you can install Lookout Security remotely to try and track it.
About checking the text messages, I think you're outta luck there. I've never heard of remotely checking texts, but hopefully I'm wrong for your sake.
So, I wasn't able to get any response from Plan B, but i installed ATT's Family map program and it is seeing the phone, which means at least I know it is still on.
What should i do?
I was about to give up and have it deactivated and turn on an old handset, but now that i have a general location on it i'm not sure what my next move should be

sound was not on.....
The location looks like it's all commercial, i don't see houses or anything. So i am guessing the thief brought it to work with them?
also, it says it's only accurate to about 30 yards give or take. So if it was in a development or apartment building, kinda hard to key in on where exactly it is.
If, however the person with it lives in a bit more remote area, i MAY have a chance to narrow it down...but still hard to be certain and all

Then destroy target.
isn't there an app that can remotely turn sound up on the phone?
call the cops. you have the serial number and all that right? file a stolen property report and then tell them you've narrowed down the location of your phone using an app.
Hey guys, I lost my phone 30 minutes ago and unfourtnately since I have never lost a phone in my life I didin't think I would loose one now. I don't have any "find my phone" installed on the phone so I went to the website http://www.androidlost.com and I pushed the app to my stolen phone and I also pushed the Jumpstart app. I also tried to send a message "androidlost register" to the phone, but nothing sems to work.
Android Lost doesn't register the phone. The first thing I did when I came home was to change my Google account password. If I'm correct, isn't that a misstake? Because now when the thief turns on the internet, the password is changed so he can't login to the account? Is this correct?
Does the phone have to have WiFi or mobile data enabled?
Since you changed the password I don't think pushing apps from the playstore will work anymore. Even if you change it back, the login link is broken and you'd need the device to log back in.

Lost or stolen? Lost, there's still hope. Someone might turn it in somewhere, there are still good people left in this world.
Stolen, probably goodbye. First thing he'd do would be to remove sim or turn off.
As far as i know androidlost will work if everything is turned on; if there's a data connection, if gps is activated, etc. I'll surely get corrected if not.
Changing the Google password will prompt to log in again, yes.
Sucks though mate.. :-\
The funny thing is, when I call it, it calls for the full duration, and also they haven't taken out the SIM card. I tried it with my moms Galaxy Nexus the exact way I did on my Nexus 4, but the only difference was she had internet connection on and it worked... What I fear the most is I changed my Google account password, Maybe it's not possible to retrieve the phone via androidlost because of this?

Im afraid el daddy's post is confirming exactly that..
Well if the phone is stolen the first thing they might do is take it to the nearest cell phone shop to get it wiped .. Or maybe you left it somewhere ... Retrace your steps...

Is there a way to like enable latitude on the web or something to remotely see the location of the device? or something like that? Because I'm pretty much screwed because I changed the password on my Google account, very very stupid of me, but I panicked
I know it's to late know, but next time you should try Cerberus app; best in line for tracking and remote controlling devices
Because of the WiFi bug it's affecting anti theft apps. The theft will need to switch the screen on before Google play will download the app you've pushed. But once that's done it is still hit and miss whether the web interface will be able to connect to the phone to track its location unless the screen is kept on. I know Cerberus and lookout can't.

i think call your phone and speak with the one who find it to return it back ..if it not works make a price for your stolen phone and buy it from the thief
Use this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroidcupcake
Install it and text "wmd gps" to your phone.
If you don't have another phone, use this: http://textinghome.com/smsemail.php
It'll send the reply to your email. (put "wmd gps" in the subject box, and three random letters in the message box)
(I tested this one on my phone)
EDIT: ****. I just read that you changed your password. Big mistake. Try changing it back to what it was before, even though I doubt that would work.
As a last resort (when you accept it's gone for ever), report the IMEI number to your GSM provider and hope they blacklist it.
