Just upgraded the ATT 1.6 to 2.1 update 1, update is great everything works perfect.
I am just trying to figure out a way to display the phone number along side of the contacts number(or under). I believe it was like that with 1.6??
Or even a way to search people in the phone by dialing first few digits of the number. Seems to only show the contact if I completely enter their number.
Any help appreciated!!!!

Hey all,
Just wondering whether its me or not, but ever since the update if I type a text longer than '1 message(+9) '(weird but cool feature if I must say) my phone will Not send the message no matter what..and as long as I have it under that character limit it works fine...
I'm in australia and with Optus, and I work for them as well so I know it isn't my sim or my account :/
Anybody else had this issue? Because I know currently the samsung galaxy S(2.1) is having compatability issues with texting, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be the same cause...

I just did a test text and it worked fine.. 2 messages sent no problems.. (UK Vodafone).. World Generic 2.1 firmware.
just wondering did you update to the optus 2.1 or the generic?
I have a feeling i must be on the generic firmware because i did have 1.6 Rooted prev. to the update
I asked the guys at work about the update today and none of them so far have been able to update...even though i downloaded the Australasian PC Companion.
but even picture messages and everything else works perfectly fine...its just that one thing =/
I have the exact same issue, it happened to me also on 1.6 bu that was more generous and gave me 2 message lengths before it would fail to send. its strange as the first couple of messages i sent on the nordic 2.1 update where fine and they were well over 2 message lengths and then suddenly if i try to send one over 1 message length it fails!!! weird
would love to find the reason to this
Someone found any solution FOR THIS??? Help
It's saying "Could not send" for me, but is actually sending the first 160 characters of the message
Edited to add: I'm on UK Vodafone with the Global Generic 2.1 firmware.
Further edit: I'm able to send long sms to myself, just not my intended recipient...? She's on O2, could this be why?
Even more edit: Just tried sending to someone else and they didn't receive anything?! Very inconsistent!
sms Issue
Hi,
I have the same issue with my sms, it will not send more than 1 message otherwise the text bounce back saying message not sent, I just upgraded to 2.1 Nordic. The problem did exist when i was on the 1.6 but then the message will not send only if it was more than 2 messages, I am on vodafone uk, my phone was not debranded whilst running 1.6.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I still haven't found a solution to this, interesting that you're also on UK Vodafone though, maybe it's something to do with them rather than the firmware?
has anyone found solution to this I have Rogers X10a and Telus sim card in it. Can't send sms if its longer than 160 charecters . Please help
I'm having the same problem as well. Any message over 160 characters and it won't send. This has actually resulted in my not being able to send shorter messages after trying to send a message that is over 160 characters. Not sure what is going on here or if there is a setting that can be changed for this.
I'm in the U.S. on AT&T. Used the xda flash to global and rogers and neither would send an sms message over 160 I guess? (it's 2 sms) Did a global firmware to 1.6 and then updated to x10a 2.1 via sony and then tried and it still would not send. It will send through GSM however using the edge network. It must have something to do with the h network then and no I don't get 3g to pop up at the top of the screen ever..
I'm not too sure what the problem is here but it is the only one I am having on my phone, everything else is working great!...
If anyone can help us all out with any ideas or suggestions it would be great but as of now it sounds like it's a problem with the new software from sony. Gonna try messing with the sms apn a bit and see if I come up with anything but as of now 2.1 sms is considered broken in my opinion.:/
im having the same problem. im using chompsms and at the botton, instead of saying 160 char it says 70 and wont send more than two texts long. If the network is changed to GSM only, any size text will send but then internet is slow unless its changed back. AT&T settings were found automatically but they are all correct.
my SE Xperia X10 on 2.1 wont send messages at all. no matter the size. ive tried to send messages like "Hey" or "No" and they dont send. Im with in Canada, with Rogers. And its not my signal because i have 4 bars...
-Thanks

Thanks Jeff! As I am having this issue too, awaiting for any news about it...
Hi Everyone,
I've heard back from our team today. This is not a generic problem. I will need information from your phones to pass on so I can duplicate the problem. Please PM me the following details:
Country:
Service Provider/Operator:
IMEI:
SI#: (SI is the ####-####.# on the back of the phone)
Did this happen in 1.6?:
Did it ever work on 2.1?:
I need at least 5 examples to pass to the team to move this forward. I will update you when I've collected these.
Hi all,
Ok, found a solution - try this and let us know how it goes, its worked for me!
1. Open dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Select Phone Information from menu
3. Scroll down to SMSC
4. Enter SMS centre number given by your service provider in this box
5. Select Update
I got a "update error" message but it still seemed to save the number, but with " and a 3 digit code after it.
If the above doesn't work, as a short term solution you caould switch to just "GSM" in your network settings and this also works - not ideal, but it's a workaround!

I am using CM7 and I change my phone number by going to Menu>settings>call settings>my phone number but after I shut my phone off it does not stick and it goes back to unknown phone number. Can anyone help me?
Also has anyone successfully used the My Phone Number app by Lytsing to fix this?
it just usually fixes itself....i did reflash back to JFD stock a couple of times and it added my number on there...might try that...but I called t-mobile abt it and they said it corrects itself eventually but I still reverted to stock anyway to correct it.
Like he stated, your phone number should automatically update in the phone. I've never seen an instance where manually updating it would fix it. Have you tried removing the sim, booting the phone, shutting it down, replacing the sim and then booting back up again?

Thanks to all seemed like it fixed itself, but in cyanogen mod, in the aosp messaging, isn't it supposed to display my picture for messages that I send. I am a bit confused about that.
I had to call T-Mobile to get the number fixed on two of our three phones.
Search the forums (always a good idea), there is a procedure you can tell them to do which should fix it.

Hi Guys,
I am new on SG2. I'm using stock rom, ICS 4.0.3 and I found out that my phone number in Settings is "unknown".
I noticed this problem since I bought it on store but I didn't ask the store staff why this thing happen.
Can anyone give me an advice what's wrong on my phone? TIA. :fingers-crossed:
you didnt flash or root etc ?
can you receive calls and does it connect to your provider ?
I've NEVER had my phone number appear there since day one from the first stock, unrooted Gingerbread ROM out of the box. It's never really bothered me. I think it has more to do with the way your provider's SIM interacts with the device than anything else.

I just change my kernel version to speedmod but this problem happened since the day I bought my S2 on store.
Yes, I received calls, messages and signals from my provider.
What do you think is the problem?
phone number got stored on your SIM, if you didn't got one from your carrier, just flash cm9 and from dialer settings add your phone number. After that it will show on every Rom every phone, until you change your SIM.
Yep Atifsh is right. Either flash CM9, change it/add it (dialer/settings/additional settings/my phone number), then go back to whatever rom you were using if you want. Or....get an older dumb phone which has the ability to edit your phone number/save it on the sim; put sim in dumb phone, add/edit number, put sim back in SGS2. Profit.
Thanks guys. Can you give me a link to the best CM9 Rom I will use? TIA

Hi all, I'm an Australian user of an unlocked/unbranded i9100. I use the stock ROM, and received the 4.0.4 update a few days ago.
Since the update, whenever I type *#2263# into the dialer, and try to run the code by pressing the call button (previously, it would run as soon as I hit the last #, I didn't need to press call), the phone appears as if it's about to start running the code, but I get the following message instead:
'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'.
Now, presumably this has something to do with changes they made in regards to the 'security flaw' that was uncovered last week, though interestingly, *#0011# still works fine (doesn't help me though, that just gives me info, it doesn't let me change what band I'm on).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get control of my phone back? (Preferably without rooting/using a custom ROM)?
Thanks.
Same for me and more

I can manually get to where I need to by going through *#0011#, and navigating back through the menu, but the proper shortcut would be nice...
I guess the current method will work in the meantime.
I've been searching all day for a good solution for this but can't seem to find anything that works for the S2.
I've seen some people have an issue in Android where the phone number will show up as Unknown in the My phone number field in the About phone status screen. I have a similar issue, but different. My phone number shows up 11 zero's instead of unknown.
As my previous phone was an Iphone my sim won't fit to try write my number to the sim. Is it the same issue as the unknown? and has anyone found a fix while using an S2? I've already updated the ME contact with my number and still no luck.
There seem to be a few apps that use this number to display information about you including Kies which return this 00000000000 number.
It doesn't stop the phone from being used, but it is started to be an annoyance that I guess I could do with out.
Any help you could give would be great.
Thanks,

Sorry I must have left out the most important part. How do i get my phone to show my correct number?
Thanks

I got that, but since I've got the unknown number maybe you can do something extra when you got number displaying there. So my question was needed to be like: where do you need it for?
But sorry I don't known how to get it there.
