My mum has just got a xperia u. At the top of the contacts it says 'myself' with a phone number...
Now on my S the number is correct. On my mums U the number is wrong! Totally wrong! But we can't seem to find an option to change it. Any ideas anyone? It's very weird as i assume it gets it's info from the sim or something?
Open that contact. Press menu. Select Edit. Change number

When you go to edit there is no number. Try it on yours. My S is the same.

She can add field. But she still can't edit or delete that wrong number? :-\

there was no stored number in my xperia p ! i added a field and added my number !!
See she has a stored number somehow. Lol
A stored number is the one you have in your google account.
So how do we change it? There's no option to do it
The only thing I can think of as a possibility is they changed her sim card even tho she kept the same number. Could it be the original number of the sim card?

I don't see my image in a text message thread thought I've set one in my profile. All i see is a grey box. Help!
I too am faced with the same problem, according to what I've read it's an android bug/feature - your number is read from your sim, rather than your profile.
The effect of this is that, if your sim doesn't come with a 'my number' field, your profile is never associated with it, and hence your picture won't show.
Apparently you can put your sim in a phone capable of writing that field to the sim and then it will work. but as far as i'm aware i can't find a way to do it on the p500.

Afaik, add ur profile with ur email address of gmail, go to talk change the display image and u will see the same avatar in messaging apps. Good luck.

I think you have to add your own number to the contact list with contact picture. It will work only if your sim has the number flashed inside some providers do that and some don't, check in setting > about > my number. If it shows your number than u would be able to change your avatar in messaging app else you have get that number on sim, its possible with cm7.

You must have your number on the SIM card. O1 can't change this number, so you must find other phone, which can and change your number (I have and old Siemens CX65 - it can change SIM numbers).
Otherwise, you can add yourself to address book... ugly but works.

If I could remember correctly, I was using CM7 when I was able to change the phone number in Settings > About Phone > Status then My Phone Number.
I have flashed ROMs several times now & I'm using devoid now but the phone number remained.
The correct path on cm7 is setting > call setting > additional setting > my phone number.
Change the phone number there to your phone no. Add contact with same number in contact book with avatar. It works.

Very very nice info there man. Will try this one out ASAP.
FYI there's not much phones out there that has the ability to modify this field.
@bindaasathar
The idea is to backup your current setup, flash CM7 then modify "your number" then restore back to your previous setup(if you still want to).
Hmmmmm. I'll try it out! Thanks

So, Optimus one has the ability to edit the phone number stored on SIM, the only thing that was stopping before was the ROM...
Bad LG... No Cookie for you
Thanks works great. Alway tryed to edit it in About the Phone Settings.
I rooted my phone but the terminal emulator says access denied whenever I type in 'su'.
Ensure your phone is unlocked at the time of typing su, if not you won't get the prompt to allow super user permission - oh emulator, I misread disregard that.

I figured it out. Problem with the slideIT.
HI,
I have faced an issue now a days that when i am rooting or unrooting my O1, SIM contacts were not shown over the phonebook but phone contact shown. I think may be its due to rooting or unrooting. but why is it so?? whenever i faced this problem i had checked all the setting, refreshed the setting and also restart my phone but the same issue persists. until when i removed the sim from the phone and then reinstall it, the problem solves.. plz help why it is so..?? what can i do to solve it..?

Actually, also I can't set SIM contacts to be visible, it's only possible to move them from SIM to phone. I'm using CM7 by mik..
In official ROMs there is an option to make SIM contacts visible.
If you can't make them visible, use export/import and choose import from Sim.

SIM Contacts are never displayed in CM7 by mik
If you need to import contacts from your sim to phone mem.
then press the menu key while in contacts >>Import/Export >> import from sim
and import all
but if you need to copy a newly saved contact in phone memory to sim, use an app called contacts2sim (get it from market/Google)
Hope this helps now

Hello guys...
So I have an issue with my Xperia S, the problem is I can't send a 2 or 3 part SMS and the other issue is that the recipient can't see my special characters, looks à, or é.
If anyone knows a solution, I would be appreciated.

Second the special character must be unicode or under region where you are.

Titanium Backup has a feature called App Profiles which basically allows you to have "two (or more) instances" of an app installed on your device. So you would create a new profile for WhatsApp and sign in with your 2nd number. Then if you want to go back to the 1st number, just switch back to the first profile.

Is it something like SwitchMe? Like you havee two completely different profiles or just the profiles for app itself?
Ill give it a try, thanks
Back at my iphone days, ios used to have a script called "appdub" which allowed many instances of any app. That was pretty neat.
I had 2 whatsapps for example. I wass also dubbing games for my brothers use, so we both used to own game profiles for ourselves.
An app installs itself to data/app/..... any version of the same app does exactly name itself over existing one. I suppose if I can merely change installation name even by a letter, I shall have two set ups (well that also needs a change in data folder name, but if one of aforementioned is possible, the later shall also be)

here is the chronology:
A01 = my register number for whatsapp since 2011 this number is on my old phone that's have a better battery backup (just incase)
when on wifi network i usually airplane mode my n7100, but it's also work with data network mode
just enter A01 to the whatsapp when u do the first setup with it.
then whatsapp will ask for verification code that u get from sms. wait for the sms (not more then 1 minute for me), when u receive the verification code, simply enter the code to the box. voila.. u can use whatsapp with different number on a phone that attached a different number too.
if ur register number is on a smartphone with a active whatsapp, then it will be log out automatically at the time u receive or send a message.
i have do this many times, because have flashing many times.
my whatsapp number journey: nokia 5800 <--> xperia sola <--> n7100 <---- while the register number still attached in my SE w880i
i also done it with line,wechat and chat on(no use anymore) all of them use the same number as in SE w880i

T9 ? I believe that feature was abandoned years ago in most phones... there's no T9 on Z2
1995 called, they want their technology back.
Yeah lets cry about every little thing now..
Abandoned years ago? lol, not even close. Actually T9 with predictive lookup is still the fastest way (least clicks) to get to a number that isn't on speed dial if you know what you're doing. Fast and easy doesn't go out of style and obviously most people and the OEMs agree since I haven't had a phone that doesn't do T9 yet and I get a new flagship phone every time one comes along that I like better than the one I already have. I'm curious what phones don't have it because I'm not running into any without it. With that said there are dialers available on the market with a wide range of features that are IMO better than any I've come across OEM mostly due to increased options so I'd look there for the weapon of my choice.
Wait a minute..
I believe T9 is there on my Z2. For instance, I type 326435 to search "daniel" and it works.
Is that what you're looking for?
I can confirm that T9 works with the dialer.
That is strange. Cause it doesn't work on mine
Works on my z2 too. Maybe clear data for your contacts app?

Hi,
I just got my Z2 from Starhub. I am trying to dial my contacts by matching against names, but it can only match against numbers only too.
Did you manage to find a solution around this?

In the end, I use a 3rd party dialer downloaded from Google play. The stock dialer sucks, unfortunately.

Just because a feature doesn't work for you, means that it sucks. Tried the Daniel thing that was earlier posted and it works fine. Try it in safe mode?

The fact of the matter is that the "daniel" thing didn't work for me, and accordingly to one other person in Singapore too. Maybe the Z2 sold in Singapore is different? The fact is that if I type "326435" it shows no contacts found in the stock dialer but in the 3rd party dialer it shows up Daniel. I have tried alot of things including deleting the dialer data, deleting and recreating all my contacts etc. But none works. This is a very basic feature of a dialer as I do not believe anybody will whip out a dialer and search for his contacts using the contact number. Hence by not being able to perform such a basic feature, it sucks! Sorry for being blunt.
To add on, I have taken a few screenshots to demonstrate what the phone is showing, vs what the 3rd party dialer is showing (DialApp). If somebody can post screenshots to show that their Z2 stock dialer can really show "Daniel" when they type "326435", I would be really surprised that this feature works differently.
1. First screenshot shows the stock dialer highlighting only the numbers which match 326 as I type.
2. 2nd screenshot shows that no contacts were found after typing 326435
3. 3rd screenshot shows that Daniel was highlighted when I typed 326435 using the 3rd party dialer
Working perfectly...i can find my contacts name dialing their corresponding letters,,,not a single problem
Try force stopping/disabling then reenabling it?

My Z2 is D6503 and it Daniel comes out fine. Daniel seems like such a common name.
I noticed from your 2nd screen shot, there's a space after 4 digits and then followed with the other 2 ie 3264 35 Could that be the reason.
When I type 6 numbers, they are grouped as one and not split into 2 like in your picture.
Does other more than 4 numbers also get split?
