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.

Hey don't know if this is a motolib related issue or not....but I currently have the latest cm10 build by joker 0.2.0. gsm. I currently am using airfire mobile as my service plan since it works great in my location. However everytime when I call out, it always ends the call right away then it'll wait then automatically call out again which will then be successful. is there any way to fix this double calling up thing by chance? I've tried wiping and installing fresh with no prevail. if I do need to logcat, how would I do so? I would like to give my thanks to all the developers who made this possible to have jb on the photon. Thank you!

Not sure if it is your problem, my dropped call was somewhat different than you had, but running Joker's latest CM10 I kept having outgoing call issues right away.
Turns out all my calls failed if they started with a 1, and worked if they just started with the area code. Updating my address book to delete the 1 prefixes fixed the issue. Strange, and again, no idea if that will be your solution or not, but can't hurt.
If all else fails try using one of th3bills lovely ROMs

I've had the same problem with my phone (GT-i9100T) on the other side of the world. Most information seems to point to the SMSC number changing or disappearing. This happened on my phone, and it won't return to stock settings. So I also can't send any SMS.
I found that mine has a phone information screen available by typing *#*#4636#*#* but that might be different for yours.

sorry to bring up an old thread, but i'm having this issue now. i can send/receive MMS. i can receive SMS, but i CANNOT send SMS only.
searched xda and this forum and have tried almost everything mentioned.
here is the breakdown.
currently on Hellybean 1/14 version (android 4.2.1).
i have checked the smsc in *#*#4636#*#* and it is correct.
i have checked my apns and they are correct.
i have full wiped and reflashed the rom.
i have redownloaded the rom, full wiped and reflashed.
i have downloaded jellybam rom and still no sms.
i installed go sms pro and set the custom smsc there.
none of this allowed me to send sms messages.
i put my sim in another non android phone, and could send sms
now, this is where the story gets interesting.
i odin'ed back to stock, and lo and behold, could send sms. cool
rooted the phone, still sending sms messages. good.
(please note that i did full wipe between any flash from here on out)
flashed task/ktoonsez ICS AOKP, guess what! sms messaging working. another plus.
flashed tasks 4.1.2 aokp, still working, good deal!
so then flashed latest hellybean 4.2.1 again, sms is dead again. checked apns and smsc and its all there.
tried jellybam 4.2.1 and still not working.
does my phone just not like 4.2.1? am i destined to live on 4.1.2 island forever with this phone?
any ideas?
as a temporary fix, i am just adding a subject to my sms messages, thereby making them mms messages, and those are going through just fine. this is frustrating, been fighting this all night.

Try going back to the aokp 4.1.2 and then try flashing slimbean 4.2.1 but make a nandroid for the aokp just in case. Somewhere it might be losing the smsc in the hidden menu when u go back to 4.2.1 when u flash it try using the shortcut in the 1st page to get to the hidden menu and check to mack sure the number is still there and nothing got switched off. If nothing else try re-adding the number and reboot see if it fixes it.

downloaded the new task650 4.2.1 rom. backed up 4.1.2.
tried a dirty flash, just wiping cache and dalvik, and got a bunch of fc's, so time for a full wipe.
full wiped, flashed fine, no SMS.
im pulling my hair out on on this. could it be that vodafone is not compatible with 4.2.1? that wouldnt make much sense, but its all i can think of since it seems like ive tried everything else.
its gotten to the point where i want to solve this just cuz its a damn mystery.

It might. U can look under the ported android section for the s2. Quick question though, are u on the i777 or the i9100? That would likely be the cause if ur running an i777 ROM instead of the i9100. U may very well not be able to run 4.2.1. Its still a mystery to me as well. When u did the hidden menu and all that what number did u out in? I think in the link to the other thread there is a link a number for vodaphone. If not try googling what it would be and enter it. I had to search for days on there trying to find it. Hope I helped a lil at least

I'm definitely on a i777, got it before my international assignment. Have had it for a while now.
When I did the hidden menu, I had to convert the SMS to pdu.
Maybe just had a breakthrough. On 4.1.2 and was working fine. Flashed the latest modem, uclk3, and SMS stopped working. Flashed back to ucle5 and working again. Strange thing is when I was on 4.2.1 and ucle5 modem, SMS was not working. Going to flash back to a 4.2.1 ROM and try a few modems and see if that won't fix my issue.

When I am running CM10 or slimbean I have no issues with data either 4glte or 3g but when I try to install a sense rom it shows I am getting 4g or 3g but I get a bunch of data errors and I can't actually connect to anything. My base band version is 1.12.11.1119 wich I think is the newest but still it doesn't work. I am even thinking about unrooting and going back to stock. The problem with the aokp builds is nobody can understand me when I call them. If anybody has any suggestions for the data issue or the problem with people not being able to hear me on aokp builds please let me know. I am getting very frustrated.
If you don't want to use the newest cm10 or 10.1 then search in the jellybam thread for a Mic fix.
It's in the last couple of pages.
For the data issue not sure. When on a sense rom you tried a prl and profile update?

Hello, I have had my phone for about a week now. I bootloader unlocked using HTC Dev and now s-off with moonshine. I am on stock rooted ROM with the latest software version. Every time I flash a new ROM, everything works but WiFi. Networks show up and everything and it tried to connect but it doesn't. Am I forgetting to flash something? I am using the latest version of TWRP and even tried Clockwork. WiFi won't connect with either recovery.

What ROM's have you flashed? Did you have this issue when you were stock? If so you may have a hardware issue.
Also, stay away from ClockWorkMod, as it can be problematic on the EVO LTE.
Everything works fine on stock. I have flashed CM 10.2, Evervolv, Vanir AOSP, Avatar, and maybe a few others i can't remember. Everything seems fine when I flash, except the wifi issue. I was thinking maybe it was a kernel issue, but I don't think so now.

You can try toggling airplane mode on and off, and try to connect. Not much else I can think of. WiFi always seems to be a little wonky on AOSP, at least for me, anyhow, but I can always get it to work.
I will try that, thanks. Will report back. I remember I had to do that a few times on another device to get WiFi working properly.
