So I did the international root method and after I got everything set up, I noticed in my settings under about phone it shows a completely different number. Now my SMS still works fine with my actual number but I just can't figure out why under about phone it lists it as a different number.

No I mean the phone number it says I have at the top. My actual phone number is not what it shows but I still get everything just fine.
I've had the same problem. Solution was to put my sim card into an iphone and change the number of card there.

Sir, Mam. I've removed the attachment from your quoted post for security/privacy reasons (I'd personally refrain from publicly sharing my IMEI).
I've also sent you a PM.
Please advice if you want the screenshot re-attached to the post in which case I'd immediately do.

I haven't see that.
I know on the converted T-Mobile variant that the software will show the same IMEID for both SIM1/SIM2 but in actuality they are different.
That's what I thought you were talking about.

Of course, the simple solution is to remove the SIM and put it in a phone, but is there anywhere in the Nexus 7 3G settings which displays the phone number of the inserted SIM card?
I've had a look in Settings, under "Wireless and Networks", "Users" and "About tablet". I suppose, as it's not a phone, it was deemed unnecessary to display the SIMs number (or simply that nobody thought of adding that function to the 3G, but it would have been more convenient when topping up the card with credit.

Oops! Title went AWOL when I previewed the post - missed that!.
You should be able to find the number by going to Settings> About tablet> Status, then it's listed under MDN
On AT&T myself: Not showing in my settings...
Easiest way, if AT&T, is go back to www.att.com/buyasession (you went there when you set up your device), log back in and click on your device. Your "Subscriber Number" shows there.

hey guys!
been looking for the perfect theft protecting app, and found one that claims to be hidden, and can also survive a factory reset.
so assuming that's true, lets imagine this
a guy steals my N4, and after 2 days i track him down using the app and come to his house, by that time he already formatted everything
and reinstalled stuff as if it was he's device.
is there any code/id/serial number inside the phone that you can dispute to google in order to prove to the police that its urs? for example u
check and the code is 123456, and u email google and they confirm that ur order was shipped with phone code 123456?
ty!
You mean like a serial number?
Which app is this?

its Cerberus - but if im not mistaken its free for a month or so and than u pay once for 3 licenses - still worth it if it does everything they say.

look at your box, my N7 box has lots of numbers on it. See if one of them matches something in the settings menu.
The hardware radio adresses are (more-or-less) unchangeable.
The IMEI for example, but also the wifi MAC address, also the bluetooth MAC address. And the wifi address can easily be noticed from outside, without an app helping (though you must be in range to detect the device).

thing is, how do these help me prove its mine? assuming i have those on paper and i claim ownership, does that actually prove anything?
Hi everyone,
I've got an ATT I337 running the awesome Hyperdrive ROM version 17.1. Several of us --but clearly not all of us!-- over in that thread have noticed a problem with incoming calls. I think there's a setting somewhere that can fix it, so I'm opening it to a wider audience by posting it here, in hopes someone from this group will know what to tweak.
Here's the specific problem.
If my cell phone receives a call from a known contact "Bob" and Bob's contact info (being a U.S. phone number) is 317-555-1212, so far the phone seems to recognize the call as coming from Bob. However, it reports it as coming from +317-555-1212. When I go into the call log and try to return the call, it dials +317-555-1212, and the extra + causes the system to interpret it as an international call attempt, and the call fails. Cannot be completed as dialed, the message says. If it's an non-contact number, the + is still added. IT's not JUST for contacts.
Let's say Bob leaves a message. The voicemail indicator shows and it says offers to dial *86, the correct access code for voice mail for ATT as I understand it. However, tapping that actually dialed +11 then my ten digit phone number. Call fails.
At the dialpad, pressing and holding 1 to invoke voicemail has the same problem.
In Contacts, contacts are NOT listed with +s, and clicking the call button for them makes them dial OK without a + being prepended.
So, this looks like some international feature is being enabled that I'm not sure how to turn off. Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? Sorta puts a crimp in the basic phone functionality. Seriously, who actually calls anyone these days? But it would be good to fix.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what might be at the root of this, I would appreciate your help!

I am confused. Does this only happen on the Hyper rom or all roms for you.
Not sure how anyone else does their contacts. But, I always enter numbers as 1-555-555-5555 even if local.
My voicemail number is set as +15555555555
I never had issues--
I remember some talk of that on Hyper awhile back. But, never paid attention--
Only happens on Hyperdrive. Or at least, I can say I never saw it on stock. Hyper is the only ROM I've actually gotten so far as to run while SIM card is inserted. :good:
My contacts are almost all US based and are just ten digits, no leading 1. I did try editing the contact to my work cell phone by adding a 1 to it, and calling my S4 phone. It still was registered as +317-555-1212 format and return call didn't work.
So, it's not really about the way the contacts are stored, more about how the phone interprets incoming calls.
Try the 1+ and see what happens. Just do a few of your most used numbers to start--
Can you put a different dialer on phone and see

Just edited above, adding 1 to the way contacts are stored doesn't change the behavior. I can certainly try a different dialer and see what happens, but it seems to be based on how incoming calls are interpreted. I'm guessing there's a build.prop item or somesuch that needs a-tweaking.
Marc
so you changed the contact number to 1-555-555-5555 with hyphens
i ran hyper for quite a bit awhile back never any issues. of course could be something new--
i am not thinking rom or a lot more would have issue--
I did some tests.
On the phone in question, I edited the google contact for a test phone number. I then called the phone from that tested phone number.
It didn't matter whether the contact was saved in the formats:
317-555-1212
1-317-555-1212
+1-317-555-1212
+317-555-1212
In all cases, the incoming call was recognized as +317-555-1212, which isn't a valid call-back number, and return calls failed. Since this only happened when I put a custom ROM on, I'm sure it's something buried inside the ROM. However, I'm at a loss as to where to check various settings.
Gotta be something deep in there...
If all else fails you can Odin back to stock, reformat your internal card and reroot.
Under Phone Settings/Additional Settings/My Phone Number--is it in format 15555555555
Also, and I don't know where to check, your country code may not be set. I don't know if we even have that setting anymore or would it be in Build Prop.
Probably under ro.something

Interesting thought. I had gone into the dialer settings, and checked the Current Country... it listed United States of America. Then I stopped. But looking further it turns out that in the Assisted Dialing settings just below that, there might be stuff that matters. Currently my assisted dialing is OFF. The settings inside are:
Country code: 1
IDD prefix: 011
NDD prefix 1
City/area code: 131
National number length: 11
The area code probably doesn't matter, but I'm interested in the national number length. Ours tend to be 10. Could you please see what your settings are in there, and let me know if anything is different?
I can always backup (ug, safestrap backup), return to stock, poke around, re-root/restore. But if you could take a quick peek I'd be grateful.
Thank you!
Marc
I tried an alternative dialer... it acted just like the stock with the + thing.
I am on a rom that doesn't have those settings--sorry
Thanks anyway! I experimented changing the last setting to 10, and enabling assisted dialing, and it didn't change anything. Sigh.
Ok, you can still go back to stock with Odin. Or, try one of iB's roms they are very good too, I use them almost exclusively now--
Good Luck--:good:
Yeah. I've been back to stock a couple times with Odin. I've got the process down pat! I prefer the hyperdrive rom if I can work through the few small warts. It's just such an elegantly crafted piece of work. Worth the effort, if I eventually sort out the call issue. Appreciate your help.

If you haven't done so yet i suggest noting the issue in the hyper thread ... either the Verizon or att one depending on your phone. Seems to be a bunch of us... more folks report it the common thread will emerge.

Same issue here i can not dial voicemail and can not call a number back without typing the number in manually. Deal breaker for me hope it gets fixed soon so i can go back to Hyperdrive. Or somebody comes up with some sort of fix.

you can compare 3 imei numbers: in the phone (in the Settings > About or *#06#), on the back plate and on the box.

Today I sent a text message to an unknown number (unknowingly, when I was asleep) as follows.

What is this supposed to be and how did this message send automatically?
What kind of implications can this have?
Also, I'd like to know what the other data is supposed to mean.

Is that an IMEI number? I recommend you hide that from your post... Check that your number is/ is not one of the ones on the text. No idea what it would be about, but I dont like it - it looks like your IMEI number plus a few other details just got sent to someone? I hope I'm wrong... Who did it send to? Be careful.

Hide the number from your post and never post it. As far as I'm aware, people can steal ur imei and make ur phone useless. It is a risk here but it seems like ur number has already been sent. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong and raising false alarms.
A crap app that has text and other permissions from the sounds of it. Are you on stock rom or rooted custom

Its. All ure build info. Sir it sounds like you have a app on ure device with to many permissions. Are u stock unrooted rooted or custom rom? I would delete many apps. But first go into settings into permissions and see what apps have text permissions. And maby look if any can read info permissions. If its an app its aparantly setup to send at a specific time. But the infos already been sent so u may never see or hear of it again. But i would unistall anything untrusted.
And deny more permissions. Even stock apps can run correctly with some permissions shut down.
