[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
I don't know how to explain this any other way....

My phone + my sim + ANY 2.2 ROM = phone number unknown

My phone + my sim + ANY 2.1 ROM = my phone number shows up correctly

My phone + my mom's sim + ANY 2.2 ROM = her phone number shows up correctly

I've called T-Mobile customer care 7 times over 2 weeks. They've sent probably 10 OTAs over multiple days. They have gone through what they do with every other customer with this problem. They suggested I go to a T-Mobile store and get a new sim card.

I went to T-Mobile, got a new sim card, number still shows up unknown in 2.2, but when I flash 2.1 it shows up no problem. I called customer care again, and they tried over and over to get it to display without any luck. They are at the point that they want to replace the phone. I will wait until T-Mobile releases 2.2 and see what it displays...

This is happening for A LOT of people.

PS - I just flashed the stable CM6 (8/28/10) and it still displays the number as unknown.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] cyanogen:
In CM6, hit Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number

The issue is because there's no MSISDN written to the SIM, and no tag name for it either. I added this option because I had the same issue. Just set your number and it will write it to the SIM.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Everybody...Cyanogen HAS SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!

While my sim did have the number stored as it showed up in 2.1, doing this DOES MAKE THE NUMBER DISPLAY!

Thanks Cyanogen!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] GeekBrat:
The only options I have in "additional settings" is for Caller ID and Call Waiting. I don't have an option for "My Phone Number". I was on RC1 previously but flashed Stable last night.

-GB
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Did you wipe before you installed? If so, try flashing stable again...it is there for me...

One issue though is that upon restart the number shows up as "unknown." You have to go back through this every time you restart your phone, but hey, its better than nothing!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] smerff:
Interesting, the closest thing I've seen is a blackberry do it before. Can't say I've ever seen it on an android device without an OTA working. If the OTA doesn't work on a blackberry you just have to manually program your number in. Perhaps if you have a friend or pop into a t-mo store they can let you use one temporarily to set it up. My memory sucks on it but once your sim is in the blackberry I *think* it's settings > options > advanced options > sim card > my number or stored number. Something like that. If you can get it, the thing is though, the ota does the same thing. So theoretically you shouldnt have to do this if it is a sim error. The fact you're saying it doesnt happen in any other versions of android with the same sim I would agree it has to be some glitch in the s/w. How to fix it besides trying a manual program in a blackberry or any other device that lets you do so is beyond me. ;/
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bgolden84:
Go to settings. Call settings. Additonal settings. Then click on my number imput your number problem fixed
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Yes, however, Cyanogen seemed to have fixed this with his addition to the CALL SETTINGS on the CM6 Stable rom that was released 8/28/2010. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] matt897:
I too have the same issue with the 8/28 rom with my number showing as unknown. If you goto the additional call settings and manually enter it, once you turn on airplane mode, or reboot, it reverts back to unknown....I assume it has difficulty saving the information
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
I had this essue even before I rooted and flash, when I had the original stock rom, and solved by it self as it seemed, then I rooted and flashed a rom, now it happens again. I can't think of what could it be?

THANK YOU!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] elk2210:
Same issue here... Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dirtymindedx:
Yes I have the same issue wish there was something in the developers section that you could program to keep your number or reinsert your number automatically versus having to manually reenter the number or reapplying the number again and again after every reboot. Had to go back to 2.1 because this is problematic.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
Are people missing this fix? Works GREAT!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] d_phekt:
Yes, but once you reboot your phone it resets it back to nothing. Have to enter the number again each time.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OriginalGabriel:
Think there might be a means to automate this at boot so one doesn't have to re-enter the number every time they reboot? Perhaps a script that runs at boot that the user edits once (with their number) as opposed to the GUI?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] abakja1:
Thanks!

Hi to all.

Is there is any app for windows mobile that we can choose a program shortcut and via properties we can change the icon like we can in windows?

Thanks.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Frank C:
Unfortunately is not available like windows for desktop. You need to install new icons......or via M2D theme. Search and you find enough of them.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishie:
I'm running JF6 ROM, have an exchange account set up that requires a password at the lock screen. Everything worked fine while I was running stock.

Now, after completing the following steps below, I can't get the lock screen to accept my password. I now get the Numpad first (used to get the keyboard first) so I switch to the keyboard but nothing I type registers in the password text entry box. Also the screen now goes into sleep after ~10 seconds even while I'm touching the screen/typing on the keyboard.

Made the following changes:

1: One click root

2: Ran titanium backup

3: ROM manager created a back up

4: Installed super circle battery with %

Any ideas? Not sure what to do, especially since I can't even unlock my phone now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishie:
At the very least can anyone tell me how to boot into clockwork recovery mode using ADB/other way where I don't need to log into my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontshakepandas:
If you haven't deleted or replaced the update.zip file that rom manager puts on your sd card you need to unplug your phone, power it off. Hold down both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. Release them when the white att screen comes on. Select reinstall packages. You are now in the clockwork recovery mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omriasta:
Or you could run:

adb reboot recovery

And reinstall the update.zip

I think this has to do with titanium and the way it restores the exchange account

I wasn't able to restore using titanium without the exchange account.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I believe ADB Reboot Recovery requires the phone to be in USB debug mode.

You may need to do the Odin one click recovery - there is a method to get the phone into recovery mode listed without USB debug mode:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Something weird is going on. For some reason, I am unable to link certain friends' contact information with Facebook (Sense). I'd say 95% of my contacts are syncing fine where their information and pictures are updated through their Facebook profiles. However, I noticed that about 5 of them aren't listed on the Facebook link search list: even though they're on my Facebook app friend list.

What could it be? Is there a setting in Facebook that doesn't allow this information to be synced to people's phones?! Only thing I figured it could be.

Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Nobody can relate?!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
Yep. I have one who I cannot link. He has the highest level of privacy on his account vs. the rest of my friends. So I am pretty certain it is a security setting. Not sure which one though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Gotcha. I guess it makes sense. Alright then. Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
I imported my contacts from a save file on my sd card recently, and noticed some contacts not syncing with facebook.

Later in the day I checked it again and they were synced fine. No idea why it was like this. I stored my contacts through google, and not to my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Weird. The thing is, with my, it's only like 5 contacts out of the hundreds that are syncing fine. It's been months too and they're still not linked. I guess there's a setting on Facebook for that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titillo82:
i'm having a similar issue, although my phone is an HD2. but there are some facebook contacts that will not be available for me to sync them with my phone contacts. and even i add more friends to my facebook profile, when trying to sync the contact, it only shows 53 facebook contacts. even though more friends were added recently. any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
I have cm6 and downloaded Facebook. I don't have last names but 30% get linked. I just want their pics on contacts. I downloaded I used syncmypix app from appbrain which I'm sure is in the market. Does Facebook sync for pics. Got all of them on there. It will attempt to sync them. After and if it doesn't do all of them go to results. Will show the list of friends and who's picture worked. You can go through and if there is no pic next to the name and is on your phone contacts, click their name.. it will pull the pic from Facebook. Hit the back button to to exit pic and press and hold on their name. Will bring you to your phone contacts. Scroll and click. Bam you synced their pic. It will ask to crop or skip.

[About XDA developers] Benjamin Dobell:
Oh wow can we please do something about the advertisements on this site! I understand they're needed for funding but can we please just change the ad format or use a respectable contextual ad system like Google ads.

The stupid banner ads just used 4 GB of my GSM wireless internet connection and therefore cost me $50. I was wondering why my usage had gone insane recently and now I've worked out why.

Banner ads such as the following constantly download at 2 Mbps. Yes I do mean constantly. They don't download a video and loop it, instead they constantly stream the video over and over again using ridiculous amounts of data.

This is just an example, all of these banner ads do the same thing and I'm not particularly happy about it!
[About XDA developers] Terrigno:
Note to self: Use internet mainly in Wifi area only....
[About XDA developers] KidTech:
Wow, thats a hell a lot of data from Ads. Where do you live? your carrier doesnt offer unlimited internet?
[About XDA developers] MacaronyMax:
I got an idea say if you donate a certain amount to xda (say $30) then you dont have the ads when you're logged in as you :D just a suggestion :D
[About XDA developers] Benjamin Dobell:
Australia, nobody offers unlimited data plans here. I'm actually totally okay with there not being unlimited plans because it means speeds are generally faster than if everybody was going nuts. However at the moment I don't have a phone line so I have to use a wireless modem and they're all ludicrously expensive.

Anyway the ads themselves really suck and shouldn't be using anywhere near that much data.
[About XDA developers] jerryparid:
This ad is horrible. It uses so much bandwidth. I was playing an on line game and noticed that I was lagging. I remember reading this thread minutes earlier, and my XDA window was indeed on. The ad is basically draining all my bandwidth.
[About XDA developers] BenF1:
Use flashblock? Then you only see what you want thats coded in flash.
[About XDA developers] Benjamin Dobell:
Yeah there are heaps of ways to block the ad, I've temporarily enabled Adblock. However XDA rely on ads for funding so I'm 100% okay with them being displayed. I'm just requesting that the ad provider change because the current one is terrible.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
I don't normally mind ads at all...but I have to agree here...those video ads at the top are dreadfully annoying.

Every time you roll the mouse over them, they open up into a larger window and are very obtrusive...every time I go to reply to a post or click a link at the top, I accidentally roll over the add and it drops down, blocking the text entry area for replying...and it doest always go back up easily.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Hey guys. I am looking into this situation. Very sorry for not replying sooner. I'm 90% sure that ad IS coming through AdSense, and usually problems with AdSense ads get worked out quickly (becuase people all over the Internet complain). I will do my best to block this particular ad.

In the future it helps if you can note the domain the ad points to. Anytime anyone is having a problem with any ads (because of content or bandwidth or whatever), send me a PM with the domain and I will do my best to block it. Ads help support XDA but I really really don't want them annoying anyone!

Thanks.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Thanks very much for your response...it's great to see pro-active admin looking into something like this...I'm sure not every forum admin team would consider blocking certain ads to suit their users...awesome work :)

P.S. The ad in question does indeed come from AdSense.
[About XDA developers] MalayaleeRemo:
please do support xda by clicking on the ads once in a while.

but as a solution, use firefox with adblock plus. for chrome lovers it might be hard to switch to firefox. but let me say this: there aren't a single ad block plugin in chrome or any other explorer that can block ads like adblock can in firefox.
[About XDA developers] taptaptouch:
Thats fraud bro, only click an ad that interests you, dont just click away to make money
[About XDA developers] I7redd:
And neither does New Zealand. :O(

In fact it might be shorter to list countries that

have unlimited data plans, versus those that

don't

[About XDA developers] oswade:
Same problem. It's so freaking annoying when you're trying to read a thread and it blocks the first post X_X

And also, I didn't notice that, but it's concerning as a fellow australian with slow and limited internet (i don't have excess usage charges, but it is throttled after about 40gb).
[About XDA developers] Benjamin Dobell:
Thanks for looking into the problem. There's a few ads that do it actually, but they seem to all be the same format, mouse-over for a drop-down video player. The mouse-over thing is always annoying, however it's just the data usage that was particularly frustrating.

Again thanks for looking into it!
[About XDA developers] DeeBG:
Until a solution is found, don't forget about XDA's Official Tapatalk app (although I believe this only applies to Android users; I'm not sure about your phone/phone data plan) - http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-app-for-android-updated-to-v1-2/

Also whoever has the account with the ad revenue service, you might want to log in and see if you can disable flash ads completely (or at least flash video ads). I know when I used Google for ads years ago, they had a crazy number of ways to limit what kind of ads were served (including topic, format, etc). Of course flash ads weren't very big back then so it may be different now. Good luck to all!

P.S. - I am on a limited budget (going back to college in 10 days to work on my PhD) but can spare 15€/20$ USD. I want to donate to XDA but also to unrevoked, as both have allowed me to explore my phone in a way a could have never done before. So either...

All goes to XDA!

All goes to unrevoked!

A 50/50 split?

I know it's off-topic but I didn't feel my indecisiveness deserved it's own thread =p. Also is XDA running a little slow for anyone else today or it just my ISP (Verizon FiOS) having issues?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
So, is it possible? Even though I managed to have it as the default browser for certain apps where the dialog popped up. Overall, it seems like the Android browser still takes precedence for any Google-related apps such as Voice Search, Google, Search, etc, as well as other apps where the dialog hasn't popped up asking which browser I'd like to use. Wondering if there is a way to set xScope as the overall default browser?!

I would merge the threads but the fixes are not the same. This fix is can be flashed in recovery. I would use this fix if you are running I9000 rom. I read in the original thread that there my be some differences in locations of the files for the captivate and vibrant so the fix may not put every thing in the right location. They are working on versions for captivate and vibrant. I loaded stock I9000 jm5 rom and applied the fix. It helped with accuracy but there is still lag.

Edit: It may be that just the vibrant is different.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AznInertia:
So far, I've used the unrevoked method on a Mac to unlock my Droid Incredible. I haven't updated my baseband yet or installed any Mods until I had some questions answered.

It seems like there are various and official leaked builds:

Which mod is the best? I'm looking for:

1.) Least amount of bugs

2.) Sense UI

3.) Ability to shoot 720p / Wifi tethering

4.) Ability to remove or already removed CityID and other bloatware

5.) A fairly high benchmark score (that's on par with other Froyo builds)

So far for the leaked OTA updated: it seems like there's issues regarding outgoing MMS or I saw some posts where you have to run some scripts to get things working, or other MODs where you see the builds lacking 720p recording or other things not working. It would be nice to have a relatively stable build that's pretty good all around. Suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] destovel:
