Handcent allows it in the settings fairly easily well worth the small price to support good product that enhances my customization.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sleepykit:
In CM, go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and put in your phone number.

Then make sure you have a contact with the picture you want to see in your contacts list associated with the same number.

And presto, picture.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] KoolAidJunkie:
This actually works...

Wish it would pull the picture from facebook like the original Slide ROM does, but at least the annoying gray square is gone..

Thanks for the help

Hi guys. I am also having this problem, admittidly with an HTC Saphire. I can't find any way to input "my number" anywhere. In settings "about phone" it says, number unknown and is greyed out. Anyone know how on a Saphire. Then maybe this would also fix my SMS picture problem.

Cheers, just in case.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] sleepykit:
The only downside I've found is that the setting doesn't stick through a reboot (so you have to put your phone number back in after each one). Upon checking, there's a bug tracker issue for that problem on the CM bug tracker so *shrug* hopefully it gets fixed some time soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] spookydownunder:
Solution.

There is another longer thread somewhere on this, and the solution works, I have just done it.

Basically the sim card needs to be programmed with "my number". On my Magic, when you go to about phone, it would say number "unknown". Magic doesn't allow you to change this. Put your sim into another phone; I ended up using my girlfriends Backberry; and navigate to additional settings, or whatever, until you find Sim Card actions. Then in there edit sim card to show your phone number in international format (+44(leave out 0)**********).

Once done, pop card back into your phone, and as long as you have a contact with your number and picture logged away, then voila.

Works on any phone that allows you to edit sim card.

Hope this helps.

When I flash a sense based rom after it boots when i unlock the screen I see the splash screen.

Is there any way to fix this?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Wait a bit. The first boot takes some time.
[Wildfire General] aaddii9944:
I know that the but is already booted when this happens and the same thing happens if I reboot the phone.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Be more patient. I get the same thing as you do (Get the Lock Screen, and, when I unlock it, get the HTC Splash Screen), but, I leave it for about 10 minutes (Normally, 5), and, then, it works as expected.
[Wildfire General] aaddii9944:
So it is there until the rom is fully loaded ty for the help.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, it always happens the first time whenever you flash a ROM, and, I know it is a scary experience when it happens. ;)

i just have a question:can vpn work well on i5700? iv tried many times on the device, but cannot connect. i want to know whether it is caused by the hardware or the rom. if it is because of the rom, could you please give me the rom on which vpn can work well?

(im a chinese senior high school student, just sorry for my poor english;))

[Galaxy Spica General] marksmithbvs:
Well, your english is good :) do not de moralize yourself buddy ;)

Anyhow, regarding your query. It might be happening because of some configuration problem or else. I can recommend you to configure it again and then try it on. May be it will work out for you.

I have found some good tips for a blog which is the best in VPN Industry, i.e from bestvpnservice.

You can alsi go there to find out i5700 configuration or in description it is like Setup VPN on Samsung Galaxy Tab

My phone has bugged out and will not let me unlock it through the default pin unlock. I know the pin is correct, and it seems to be a pretty common problem with 6.5?

Can someone help me with the construction of an exe to change a registry key on boot, in particular

[General Questions and Answers] cmonex:
haha, sounds like a good trick. the other thing: do you have a custom rom installed? stock rom may have cert checking in place before full boot up finished so the exe has to be signed with a cert that's already on the phone (default OEM or custom installed cert).

Happy new year to everyone!

Yesterday in my job, I connect my omnia with office pc (win xp) via samsung kies. The program prompt me to make update and i agree. This happens at 09:30am and until 17:00 doesn't complete. Was in the same point. Then disconnect my phone and take out the battery. When I put the battery back, open the phone and prompt me a picture with a phone, a blue triangle with admiring in and a pc.

When I come home I try to connect it to my pc (win 7) but sumsung kies don't recognize it.

Can someone help me????:(
[Omnia II General] Warrior_Rich:
Sorry if i have bad english..

Ok!! In my opinion you have to flash youre i8000.. look here in the forum!! There are some roms.. there are official roms and cooked roms! I preffer official but some people prefer cooked!!

The steps are easier than it looks!! Trust me!! ;-)

Take a look of the instructions..

modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/294673/guide-to-flash-on-windows-7/

or this one...

sites.google.com/site/samsungupdate/english

If you have a I8000L.. DON´T FLASH THE "PHONE" PART!!!

But remember!! If you flash it.. you´re going to lose files (photos, music, documents, software already installed) if the data its in internal memory.. if you have data in a micro sd you don´t have to worry!! :-)

Well.. read all the instructiones!!

One more thing.. no one is responsable if something goes wrong!!

In my opinion.. that´s the solution!!! flashing the omnia II!

and... Happy New year!!! :-)

If Ive flashed Pershoot's kernel and CM 6.1 and for some reason i decide i want to Nandroid back to my stock setup....how would i go about it. Do i have to use the PC10IMG.zip because of Nandroid not touching the kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Well if you didnt do a Nandriod Backup of your stock rooted rom before you flashed CM6.1w/Pershoot's kernel you will not have an available Nandriod backup to use. Also when you do a Nandriod backup it's of the entire system including the kernel, so what ever you back up it also backups the kernel, so to awnser that question it does restore the kernel.

Next and most important you do not ever want to reflash the PC10IMG.zip image on your rooted HTC Vision unless you have true permroot with gfree, if you rooted the old wpthis.ko file way and did not run gfree, and you would know if you used gfree, then you dont have true radio s-off and if you flash PC10IMG.zip you can brick your phone, here is a link to the thread discussing the problem I am talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484

Next if you have gfree'd your phone then you should be able to reflash the PC10IMG.zip(T-mobile G2) onto your phone without any problems, I have not personally tried to reflash the PC10IMG.zip myself and I am gfree rooted, because never found a need to, but I have found a link to a post where someone has flashed the PC10IMG after gfree with out any problems :

found that post here, post # 47

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaseyG:
Joemm.....couldn't have asked for a better explanation. I did indeed use the gfree method outlined in the wiki and I did Nandroid my stock rom. I truly appreciate your help and happy new years!

By the way....on my Vibrant I've always read that nandroid does not back up or restore your kernel. Is that specific for only that phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I really dont know about the Vibrant, but I would think any nandriod backup would include the kernel because its like a snap shot of the entire system.

Happy New Years
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaseyG:
Hmmmm. Now I'm worried. Can't find if the Nandroid issue with the kernel is Galaxy S specific or not. This verifies the Vibrant side.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-806340.html

Now I'm still wondering about the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Ok , I read your links the radio and kernel are two diffrent things, the nandriod backup restores the kernel not the radio. But unless you specifically flashed a new radio your phone still has the shipped radio even with a diffrent rom, like me right now Im running Enom's rom w/ 2.6.32.27 kernel, before this I was running Virtuous with evils kernel, but even after all the diffrent roms I have flashed and kernels I have flashed, I still have the shipped radio, I never flashed a new radio. So again unless you specificlly flashed a new radio you still have the same radio the phone shipped with even though your on a custom rom. And you would know if you flashed a new radio. Custom Roms do not come with new radios they use your existing radio.

So nandriod backsup the kerenl not the radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaseyG:
Correct you are Joe. Must be vibrant specific (Nandroid not restoring kernel).

Any problems with pershoots kernel for you? I just flashed it and my battery is awesome. I'm just using set CPU with no profiles.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zagzag99:
Since the first NAND build almost everyone here in the forum can't stop talking about it.

Am I the only one thinking, why do one need it?

- it makes no progress to functionality. We had everything already with SD builds.

- Switching between build is now longer and riskier.

- One needs to commit himself to a build because it won't be possible to jump from a sense to a stock, or from froyo to gingerbread with a single boot.

For example MDJ's gingerbread without GPS can be quickly switched to a full working froyo.

- With SD build one can take full potential of the storage on the phone. With NAND system size is limited and one can't install unlimited amount of apps.

- So boot time is longer with SD builds. Come-on got to be some other reason to move to NAND.

I open this discussion for people to enlight me what am I missing when I ask for SD builds.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sugi6666:
Maybe u should take a look at the NAND pro and contra thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abrise:
I fully agree with you. I don't really understand the interest for NAND. It boots faster for sure and drains a little less but compared to the advantages you mentioned of sd card or even ram NAND is not for many people.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Aside from the battery life and faster boot I think most of the desire for Android NAND is due to the dislike/hatred of windows mobile on this phone.

HTC produced a stunningly specced phone and then slapped windows mobile on it with no option to upgrade to win phone 7 or sidegrade to Android, and a lot of people see that as a bit of a slap in the face. I certainly do. Stating that there will never be an android build from HTC for it and then producing the EVO was a bit disrespectful of customers.

Also there is the (for me) a slight feeling of im-permanence of the SD builds. Yes, they are great and its fun and useful to be able to switch between them at will but the nand versions just feel a bit more solid, if you will.

A lot of it is down to human nature rather than actual technological benefit, sort of a "Hah, you said we couldnt do it but we did, so forget you". (With apologies to Cee Lo Green).

As stated before it has many improvements over the SD version:

-battery life

-stability

-loading times

-there is no risk in bricking your phone(unless someone is very very stupid, and i am not saying that someone is)

-with the sd version a download from the market sometimes took 2 minutes, now it takes max 2-3 seconds.

-flashing back to winmo if you like is maximum 5 minutes

-flashing a new android takes max 5 minutes(MAX).

- no lag at all

I am sure there are more but this is what i could think of right now.

Try and you will see.:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLAST3RR:
Seriously.. Why wouldn't you like having more options to choose from?

If you are afraid that devs will stop developing for SD builds, then you shouldn't be.. There are enough people out there staying with SD builds.

I just don't like the sluggishness the WM-boot gives me.. It adds another layer of uselessness to me, as I don't use WM anymore at all..

I love my HD2 running NAND with the HTC Desire HD build of gauner. For one, I don't have to be messing around with SD mounting and unmouting anymore. I hate the fact that the main OS actually tuns off the card that you should use as swappable storage, which it was introduced for.

Everyone is entitled to their respective opinions, and there is no harm in having more to choose from.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
+1 on that. I'll be sticking with SD builds for the foreseeable future. At least until Android is perfected. The Gingerbread build doesn't even have working GPS or camcorder and is NAND. That, to me, is ridiculous.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] inasar:
I know its been said enough already but the clincher for me was the improved battery life. I just got a full two days with phone usage (light) SMS usage (heavy) and WiFi usage (heavy). That really was a breath of fresh air in the world of 12 hrs SD builds.

Also, i think people were right to point out a lot of draw towards the NAND build has been a reaction to WM6.5. The OS was seriously lacking and was a poor choice to put on such a capable device. It lacked the real functionality of a smartphone which seriously hampered the HD2. With android the phone seems to get a new lease on life and i am quite happy in keeping it for another 1 year.

Although it is early days for NAND builds but i am sure with the passage of time their obviously advantages will be apparent to all. Although SD build do give you fast switching but seriously it becomes a pain to keep switching and then backing up and restoring all your data and applications. I have been there and done that. Atleast with a NAND build switching is prevented and stability is creeping in.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fbiot@free.fr:
Right, but Almost all my SD did not boot correctly with MagLdr :confused:

My experience with nand is FASTER A LOT, drain less battery, no lag at all (except on my old hd2 (probably broken, no proxymity detector, no more vibration, volume key works bad etc.) that lags more than with the sd card (I had to revert to win)).

Mag is a LOT Faster to download/install apps. (50kb/s now its 400k/s and installation is faster), smoother.

Because now, I can change my SD card whenever I want (Full of taken videos/photos with the phone, full of mp3 etc).

Why nand, because Lock Phones utilities are useless with Windows.

Why nand ? .... Because ! :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
There's a few factors to consider and these can be deal breakers for some people.

1. The version of the HD2 running a Nand version. T-Mobile US phones get more space to play with whereas the Euro version doesn't. I've got a US version but I really only use 20 or so apps.

2. Data - Since downloading Topia HD last night, I had one data drop running from Nand and that was opening market. When it was SD it was constant!

3. Battery - some people are reporting excellent battery life on Nand. But they reported that on SD versions as well. Everyone has their fixes for it too, but it doesn't work for everyone. Right now I seem to be doing ok so we'll see.

4. Risk - its less riskier than flashing HSPL or a new ROM in WinMo which brings me to my final point and deal breaker for me.

5. It's no longer running WinMo!!! For me that was what I was waiting for. No more gimpy OS ruining my phone. I know a lot of people love WinMo but I'm not one of them. I almost gave this phone back when I got it in March of 2010. It was frustrating and by my 1st week of owning it I had done 3 or more fresh resets. After that I did a reset almost every month until Android became stable to run everyday. I say good riddance to WinMo finally lol

In the end, its about preference. My preference is a phone with little or no hassle and huge functionality which I now get with Android and especially now with it running from Nand. If it was still running from SD or RAM I'd still be ok as long as it wasn't WinMo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
One big issue with NAND, that is being overlooked, is no support right now for WinXP. The magldr seems to be flashable only in Win7. There are a number of people who still don't have Win7, myself included, and are still on WinXP.

No budget. Want Win7, just have no money for it. It isn't a matter of choice. But I do have Vista and saw one post saying Vista/Win7 works. I don't know for certain because the dev who said the magdlr included flasher for Win7. No mention of Vista.
