I'm not sure they'll want to help you if your running unofficial firmware.
chances are they wont have any idea where to look either lol
do you just need to know your number?
what ROM are you guys running?
Same thing happening here. In phone status in settings the phone number says "unknown."
Running leaked JK6 stock.
Doesn't seem to be causing in problems, but it would be nice to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using the JK6 ROM. Yeah it just wont show the phone #. I'm just worried that when the official 2.2 does come out I wont be able to get it OTA since my number doesn't show up.

you'd be better off just going back to stock firmware for an OTA update.
they have a tendency to soft brick non stock phones.
also most custom and leaked roms have OTA's disabled anyways, which gives you only two options:
1. wait for someone to make a custom rom out of the OTA and then just flash it.
2. go back to stock firmware.
either way works.

as far as I can tell, its only that rom that has that problem.
I'm running Froyo myself (Eugene's Macnut R13) and mine shows up just fine.
There was a thread on this very topic last week.
Call t mobile, tell them, they reset something, reboot your phone.
Also, this should have nothing to do with ota updates.
When you create threads, doesn't it show similar threads?
Yeah I saw the same thread. I'm gonna give them a call and I'll post back how I made out.

I gave T-Mobile a call and I talked to a person in the Android division. I told him what my problem was and he pushed a couple of things to my phone. He then told me to take out my SIM card and restart my phone. After I did all of this my phone # is still coming up as Unknown. He told me the only thing else he could think of is to get a new SIM. I asked him if my Phone # coming up Unknown will prevent me from getting any OTA updates and he said he wasn't sure. One thing I'm not sure of though is can I Odin back to JI6 or should I Flash to JDF first then JI6. I want to make sure I don't miss to Official Froyo OTA. Other than that I guess I'm screwed.

New sim card will not affect you from getting the OTA update.i had to switch sims and I got the JI6 update OTA.so dont worry
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks man. I know that a new SIM wont affect OTA'S. What I'm referring to is that if my Phone # is showing Unknown in my Phone Status, will that affect me getting any Updates. Everything else on my phone is fine. I can get and receive text messages and my Caller ID is working also.

couple questions...
1. are you on t-mobile?
2. weather your on t-mobile or with someone else, is your phone unlocked?
If you guys are locked to t-mobile then you can stick your sim card in another tmobile phone (not another android phone) I've heard sony ericson's, and some samsung's work and even an unlocked iphone will do it.
then just go to my number on that phone and it will let you program your number in.
then just put it back in your android phone and it should be back.
if you are unlocked and want to do the above steps, (this is unverified and it might work just fine using another a locked phone), but just follow the steps above with an unlocked sony ericson or samsung (or probably any other non smart phone that lets you edit your own number)
If you are unlocked, and running on a different carrier using the same number you used on tmobile, call tmobile as they sometimes give trouble porting numbers to other carriers.
if all of this fails then you might need a new sim card.
some people also got tmobile to do this OTA for them, but it did not work for everyone.
Thanks. I'm on T-Mobile. The only other phone I have is a Cliq XT. I'll give it a try but its an Android. I'll try it anyway. If it doesn't work
I'll go get a new SIM Card.

I'm pretty certain a new SIM won't fix the problem. I played around with this and T-Mo actually told me to call Samsung to fix it. Anyway, the only thing that unknown number caused a problem for me is my Verizon Fios Remote DVR app. The app wouldn't work because it is registered to my phone number and it couldn't figure out what my number is.
I'm sure it's just the problem with JK6 itself.
I haven't had any problems at all so far. Everything seems to be working fine with this ROM. I checked out everything that I could think of that my phone number would be needed for. My caller I'd is fine, Bluetooth is working, SMS & MMS are fine also. Hopefully it's not affecting anything major. Like I said the only thing I'm concerned about is not being able to get the Official 2.2 OTA when it's finally released. If I cant I'll just Flash back to JDF then to JI6 to be able to receive it if I have to. Thanks

Do you guys even read any information or do you flash blindly?
You cannot get an OTA update with a custom rom, you'll have to flash to an official t mobile rom in order to OTA.
The missing phone number under status happens in every single JK6 rom, it's one of the known "bugs" if you can even call it that. It shouldn't affect anything at all. I've only heard of it affecting some dvr app but even then only 1 person has reported it.

Yes, my Amaze is rooted.
Yes, I flashed xboarder's update and kernal.
Yes, I've used the forum search and found a couple people posting about this error but nobody has posted a follow up.
No, I don't want to be flamed so pardon my ignorance if somehow I missed an obvious answer.
Perhaps its a problem with my router and if so does anybody have a hint? I don't really need wifi calling but I hate not having anything work.
and yes, I'm pretty sure I've abused the smiles. PS. Coming from HD2 and loving the Amaze thanks to all the hard work from the XDA community.
You said you read around and saw some problems, but you never said if you saw the new sim card issue and if you're using the new one. You have to use it. If you are, you could be getting the 911 address error, but that one tells you to go to my.tmobile.com to fix it. So using the new sim card is the next troubleshooting step...

i have the same problem...would love to know a fix...if it even exists.
i've talked to t-mobile customer service for hours trying to resolve and still no resolution.
i get the 911 address missing error, but it's on my profile and t-mobile reps even confirmed that it's in their system.
every once in awhile, wifi calling icon will turn blue and show that i'm able to make wifi calls...but then after a couple seconds, it'll go right back to the error message.
This may have no impact at all, buy have you reflashed the kernel? I reflashed the kernel and it resolved a WiFi issue. You can try it. I hope it works!
Okay, it toook me all night mostly because I am a big ass noob but I flashed quicksence and the kernal again and it resolved the issue. The reason it took so long was because I tried to start from scratch and go all the way back to stock. Big mistake. HTCDev is down and will not issue a new unlock key. Not a bad thing unless you already ran the relocker which I did. luckily I found my old unlock code and was able to unlock the bootloader again and here I am. I think I may have had a bad flash before but now its golden. Xboarder and Binary rock.
im having the same problem at home with stock everything
Just call them and ask to add wifi calling feature to your line.

Hi XDAns

I am facing a strange problem since morning there's no network on my Galaxy S2 since morning its a unlocked version not rooted just updated to 2.3.6.
Tried changing SIM but no network
SIM is working I have tried in diffrent fone.
I have switched off the phone 10 times have removed battery twice for half n hour nothing happening.
The phobne is working no problems in anythings WIFi _ Bluetooth everything is perfect
Just the network isn't coming.
I was listening music through headphones tried inserting the hwadphpnes jack hard twice _ thrice since the voice was crackling.
By any chance is the network IC located near this inserting point
Any idea what is causing this problem???
Please Help Me!!

Contact your operator/Samsung then. I don't understand why your first thought would be to post here for support, especially if you don't want to do the one thing which might give you a chance of self-repair.
I had the same probleme few months ago. I fixed it with a app called GSII_Repair.
You can find it on Google Play
But you have to be rooted to use this app
I did that.
It didn't help it was talking about some busybox app
That also I downloaded it didn't work it said your phone should be rooted.

It was the only solution to make my phone work again.
Shall I give it to samsung people
My fone is just 7 months old.

I am not at all confident on samsung reps.
Theyll just try and update it

No root and stock firmware then its service centre .
Other choice is to root and void warranty and spend weeks trying to fix as you have no EFS backup etc etc .

Got it fixed from samsung only
They checked the motherboard which was fine.
Than they just updated the Software and said they were writting back IMEI.
Which helped me .

hi guys,
i am having a bit of a situation, i have a sgs2 unlocked, rooted, 2.3.4, o2 sim card and since a few weeks, every day when i am at work, usually at 09.00am, my phone is literally stuck, when i arrive it works OK, even going in/out of the tube, then at work, (2nd floor office, good reception), after doing some texts, or some browsing, . basically out of the blue i cannot do anything, text, browse the internet or call but the strange thing is that the phone shows that there is signal, 4 bars, 10-11 asu. only option is to restart, i cannot even put the phone to flight mode, gets stuck...this tells me something is happening.
i know that o2 had a massive failure a few weeks back and when that happened i was on holidays out of UK, then when i got back, this problem started appearing....o2 support suggested to check the SIM, i got a new one, but exactly same problem happened again.. i reported them the issue again, they checked the network, just one time it appeared they had some problem in the area but then no more, yet i am the only one having problems in my office, and there's other people with o2.
what is even more weird, is that this happens ONLY when i am at work, during the weekends, not at work, the phone never gets stuck.
now, this is a rather annoying issue but i found on some other forum other people with the SAME issue, so perhaps is a known issue?
as further troubleshooting, when i bought the phone, it had 2.3.3 and a similar issue was happening, the DATA was getting stuck between the tube stations, after upgrading to 2.3.4, problem was solved.
so the big question is.... IS IT THE PHONE? IS IT THE SIM CARD? o2 support even suggested to change the SIM again, should i have had a massive case of bad luck to get a faulty one, again.....i even tried one of those apps that boost the signal, nothing.
any idea guys? to be honest i didnt plan to put ICS since i don't see that many benefits, and i dont think it will fix this issue in particular, or am i wrong?
thanks guys, sorry for the long post!
gab
I would say try ICS and you will see. You can always go back if you don't like it.

I wanted to change again the Baseband cause i had some problems. I used the Guide of Dr.Notor. All went well he made the Backup of nv2 fiel and started the phone in Emergency Mode. After that the program tried to write ass but now it is on timeout after 45 minutes. I have no idea what to do. Please help me. The LGMDP is already running and the phone connected. What can i do?

First of all, edit the thread's title to something more descriptive, like "Problem changing baseband"
Did the NV2 Backup complete successfully? It's the main thing, without that say goodbye to your phone signal.
Weird that 45m timeout, I changed my P500's baseband in less than 10m I think... did you follow drnotor's guide entirely? Including the part of disabling LG modem and not touching the phone until it finishes?

Yes.
Sorry for the bad title
If you have your nv2backup you could try flashing it over once again from step 1, maybe that works.
It worked. I stopped the program and run it again. My Phone is running again. The problem with error searching network on CM9 persists. The Baseband rechange doesn't bring the solution.
Now that you already have NV file if you use lgmdp always in emergency mode dont mather if you flash only bb or recovery or the entire rom but flash with phone already in emergency mode and lgmdp will not touch the nv file

Good tip. Next time I make it from emergency mode.
The stupid thing is that I risk a lot for nothing, cause the baseband didn't bring me something.

The new baseband was already on my phone, but I thought that maybe something went wrong the first time and therefore I get the "Error while searching networks" on CM9. After install it again the result remains the same.

I asked few times but nobody answered. I don't see it on Bug-List and so I thought it was the fault of my phone. I like ICS and JB but as I explained on other posts I live on the borderline to other countries and I cannot live with automatic search of networks, cause It can be really expensive for me.

As said above, you will have the bug as long as you are using the junky Froyo RIL stack. This issue exists on CM7 as well since they've "fixed" the stupid 128KB SIMs by reverting the RIL stack. Messing with baseband will not solve anything for you.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5182
Ask your operator to have roaming deactivated, best I can offer if you want CM9+. On CM7, the RIL can be switched back to GB, with CM9 this causes a force-close loop with the phone app -> no go.
Is there a way to check whether I have a Funny SIM Card or not? And in case I have, is it possible to let it change from provider and with which excuse?

Well, flash latest CM7, flash the attached ZIP and if your SIM does not get recognized, it is funny.
Thanks a lot.
I made all the steps and the SIM works. Now I have to hope that CM will revert the RIL to GB too, so that I can use CM9+.
You wrote that this Patch runs only on CM7 and not on CM9+. Is there in fact no chance to make a similar patch for the newer firmwares?
Yes maybe its a faulty rom.

Sure there is, however I am not going to recompile CM9 for this, it requires patching files, overwriting the libs is no longer enough, as said above.
Do you mean mik_os git changes in the above issue link?
Easier would be that CM changes back to GB RIL.
