Settings question with cm6 - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got root and flashed cm6. I was redownloading apps, one which was till touch to talk. The app will not work because in my settings, about phone, mobile number, it says unknown. How do I get it to say my number? The area is greyed out so I cannot click. Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen anything on it yet. Thanks though. Hopefully that gets fixed which I imagine it will.

Try a fresh install some people said that helped or try a different rom and see if it shows up if it doesn't call tmo and talk to them and say your number isn't showing up in settings it could be on tmo end

Maybe I will try a different rom. I called tmo but they didn't help cause they had to send an ota update which doesn't go through to the phone. Any recommended roms?

Well try or the crmod updated rom its the closest to stock so if it doesn't do it then it is a tmo problem

Ahh .. found the fix. Cyanogen actually implemented a setting in cm6 due to this problem. Go to settings-call settings-additional settings-then number. Once you type it in, it writes it to the sim card.

i've done this, however if you reboot the phone or put it into airplane mode the number gets wiped and you need to reprogram it.

Oh. Well thanks for the info. I can live with that for now. Then again, I don't ever shut my phone off. Lol

lol me either, except when i'm on the train - or flashing the nightlies in which case I need to redo it multiple times a day!

I noticed today that the voicemail number is also not saved to the sim card, or doesn't read it. Not a big deal since 123 dials voicemail. However it does prevent you from using visual voicemail and other services.

Permanent recovery

If this has been answered somewhere else, then my apologies.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get clockwork recovery to stick yet? I know there was a problem with not being able to write to that partition due to the spl, but I read a twitter post saying something about slide users updating their recovery image the other day and was hoping someone could clarify.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I figured that would have made much bigger splash, but hey, dream big, right? Thanks, mang.

I wish ppl could figure out which phones this affects and why. I don't flash nightlies nightly, but I haven't had a FC yet with calls. Most of the time, I'd consider that a feature instead of a bug anyway
There were issues with the dialer force closing on builds 15-17. 18 was released and I haven't had any issues yet.
Yeah I flashed the latest and greatest just now, and everything seems g2g.

Unable to Login to various forums

Ok I really am not a n00b but I am starting to feel like one. I have tried to log into a few different forums and everytime it always says it cannot match my username and password even though the same combo works on my PC. It doesn't happen to all forums just a few. Even the T-Mobile forums and I have seen people post from their slide.

What rom are you using?
It was that way on the espresso 2.1 and on the 2.2 Espressos. I haven't messed with too many other roms.

3G problems on all roms

Every rom Im on forces me to go on 1x instead of 3g. 3g only works on the stock rom. Why is this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If the roms you're running happen to be aosp roms, then its showing your "true" connection. The stock rom will almost never show when you have 1x because that's how sprint/htc wanted it. On aosp if your connection is really bad (3G) it will show 1x if that's what you really have. To do some test of your own id recommend downloading "mobile signal widget" from the market and compare signal strength both data/voice.

Okay thanks. Ya cuz a sprint Rep told me a few days ago tthat some towers are down so maybe that's whats going on

That could also be the problem lol

i kno in the frederick, md area they just put some 4G (pretty signifcant too) coverage in the downtown area (5-6mbps so far)...so if ur in that area it might maybe have somethin to do with it. my gf had 3g up until today (after a fix supposedly), but now she's on 1x. so im guessin they're puttin more coverage up. cuz over the last few days ive been getting a wider and wider spectrum of 4G in different places in the surrounding area(s).
i'll do the 3G fix once i get a sense rom flashed, and check it out with a update on this thread posting.
Okay so I was with my friend last night who has the same rom as me (CM7) and he had 3G while I still had 1x. Now I have no idea what's going on

[Q] force 3g on GS3

I recently rooted my GS3 and i have been trying to figure out how to force 3g service on it any help? since i can only pick up 4g in certain areas im tired of the EDGE 2G.
Im pretty sure you cant, seeing as hspa+ is still technically 3G or WCDMA. So I think your stuck with Edge for now... Until T-Mobile does more service upgrades in your area... Don't worry, I get crappy service wherever I go, and I have the worst service here at home... Should have went with Sprint...

You could try, but AT&T uses the same thing "HSPA+" which is really 3G, but they still call it 4G, and that's what would show up on your status bar (it would still say 4G), so I don't know if that'll work... You can give it a try though. I'm actually going try it our right now, and see how it works. I'll keep you posted. :good:
Have that issue too and don't count on them upgrading anything anytime soon. Just wait till your contract is up and make that switch

So, I just tried and I couldnt register on AT&T's network. Guess your just gonna have to deal with it for now... :/

I guess you can take the 4G plan off your phone and be throttled down to 3G speed... That's it.
