Settings question with cm6

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.

Is Anyone Else having This Problem??

Is anyone else having a problem with the 3g and H "HSDA" signal mines keeps switching between both the 3g and H and when it goes into 3g my internet doesn't work until the little H pops up again "internet pages/videos don't load" I have the signal type switched to wcmda or whatever only but that doesn't seem to help, is anyone else having this problem, please help :-\

I think this is par for the course. On both my G1 and MT3gS, anytime I was running a custom rom, the 3g symbol was there always, but when data would be used, it switched to the H symbol. Has not been a problem for me as of yet though.

Well mine switches from H to 3g when I'm using the internet or watching a video, its kind of anoying when watching videos cuz they stop when this happens, thanks for the reply by the way
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Oh, well if you're using data and it is going from H to 3g while actively surfing/streaming, then I don't know what to tell ya. Does this happen only in certain geographic locations? Could be carrier specific...

Yeh it happens almost everywhere but of course less in some places then others.

I have that problem in my house, but nowhere else. Probably signal related. I'll be surfing the web, downloading a file, whatever, and the H will switch back to 3G and the connection will go idle, but I don't think that the idleness is caused by the switch to 3G, I think the switch to 3G is caused by the idleness, and the idleness is caused by weak signal or malfunctioning cell tower. Something like that.

I was thinking the same thing, they told me that they where having issues in many places because they are upgrading or whatever their towers for their new 4& network....

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

flashed to cm9 alpha 6, get grey 3g bars no data

When I was on stock I was always on 3g. Now that I flashed to cm9a6, I've been waking up to my phone with grey 3g bars. I flip to airplane mode and back to fix it and finally get my emails but its a real pain in the ass.
I looked into it, but saw posts from march, wondering if anyone had a fix or if this is just a bug.

Bug but, there are newer nightlies to flash than a6... Google chris41g to find his server with nightlies, otherwise go ask in the thread for more specifics
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Why are you on alpha 6? Lol that is the question. Chris41g is knocking out RC quality builds that you need to be flashing if you want cm9. Get on it

I was having issues yesterday with my 3g not working. I am on a newer build of cm9. I just think it was a virgin mobile service thing because my 3g is fine now.

Did you try making sure you had data roaming enabled in your settings?

Find a jellybean radio and flash it, should fix your problem. There is a couple threads on radio's in development section.

Hi, I'm currently using a cm10 rom and I flashed the UVLH radio. JB works smoothly for me and calls are clear and messages arrive lromptly even. Maybe just flash a new radio one that's okay for ICS

There is NO JB radio. 3G and 4G are almost the same thing. I do not believe T-Mobile phones with 4G can acquire 4G, as our 4G is a fake 4G. It is more a 3.5G. So I believe that it is just that the system recognizes the signal as 3G, but is really 4G.
