No phone number in settings-> About Phone->status - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm on giffgaff. Also shows Network state as "Disconnected". Any ideas?

Disconnected means you are not connected to mobile data.
Phone number, I guess it depends on the sim, my older sim card shows the number while the one I recently bought doesn't show the number.

Thanks for the reply mate. What's the fix if any? Mobile Data is turned on. When i reboot it shows as connecting and then goes to disconnected!

Not sure how I did it, but I played around with my phone and I was able to set my phone number manually...

I found it!
Dailer > Settings > Additional Settings > My phone number
Edit: apparently for Cyanogenmod only.
You can also stick your sim into a dumb phone to set your phone number.

Removed from CM10?
It looks liike this setting was removed from CM10. I can't find it on CM-mako-4.2.2 for my Nexus 4. I found something on the CM issue tracker and updated it:
ARGG, can't post links, it's issue CYAN-426 on CM's Jira/Issue tracker.
I really just want to set my phone number on my SIM card so I can use Google Voice Guess I'll keeping asking people at work until I can find an iPhone 4 or I might try the stock rom on my device when I get home from work.

Mobile Network mode GSM/CDMA confusion *#*#4636#*#*

Entering in the "secret" menu *#*#4636#*#*, i noticed that the default network mode is GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Aren't two completely different networks (and phone)? Or what that CDMA setting is referring?
Since my GNext is GSM and in my country there is no CDMA network operators, is that the best option regarding the battery life?
I remember that in my previous htc desire, the default network mode was WCDMA preferred (WCDMA different from CDMA), even if i was using GSM auto (PRL) which mean that if the 3g is low it will use the 2g network...and i remember there was nothing about CDMA network
So my doubt is why the Galaxy Nexus GSM doesn't have GSM auto (PRL) or WCDMA preferred as default option? is that a bug?
here a reference about the network mode http://www.google.ie/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=6a327a95211ac789&hl=en
GSM = GPRS (2g), EDGE(2g), UMTS(3g), WCDMA(3g), HSDPA(3g) {Cell Carrier examples: AT&T and T-Mobile}
CDMA = CDMA*(2/3g) EV-DO(3g) WiMax(3/4g) {Cell Carrier examples: Verizon and Sprint}
Now that the general stuff is out of the way, here's my take on the Preferred Network types:
WCDMA preferred - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 3G is favored more.
GSM only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
WCDMA only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM auto (PRL) - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more. This one is a bit confusing to me since PRL is associated mostly with CDMA technology and not GSM technology.
CDMA auto (PRL) - The CDMA phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more.
CDMA only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
EvDo only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) - Some phones are equipped with both GSM and CDMA capabilities. This setting appears to just have the phone attempt to stay connected to the data communication type that works the best.

Id like to know why the options dont stick as well... Just seems stupid to me that they dont stay after you choose them.
I have also been wondering the same thing. On the Nexus One and Nexus S it would default to WCDMA prefered and if I were to force 3G on it then it would stick on a reboot. On the GN if I put it to WCDMA only or GSM only it will revert to the GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) network type. It did this on stock 4.0.2 and it's also doing it on CM9.
In that menu there is something about LTE ram dump too. Is there a little more ram the LTE guys are getting that's hidden on GSM?

GSM auto (PRL) won't stick but WCDMA did for me but I REALLY regret changing it. It caused my SMSC number to change to 00 and I couldn't change it back on my GNex. It took me a while to figure out that the SMSC had changed and it stopped me from sending text messages but I could still receive them. After wiping and flashing a few times I realised and I put the sim card into an old phone and changed the SMSC back and put it back in my GNex and it let me send texts again.

God it was a nightmare yesterday. I did a google search and found the number on vodafone forums for my country. What's your carrier? Even if you have the number maybe you won't be able to put it on your nexus like me but you can try. Another possible solution might be to get a new sim card but I'm not sure if that'll work. I just read it online.

Mine is greyed out too so maybe that doesn't change anything in this case. I guess your best bet is trying to put the sim card into another phone and set the SMSC number on that phone then plug it back into your GNex. I used an old blackberry

SMSC update
for refenrece about the above problem updating the SMSC i found this link
http://community.windmobile.ca/windmobile/topics/nexus_s_smsc_advanced_menu_options
its for the nexus s, but it works also on our galaxy nexus
so basically with our nexus (also other samsung i guess) through the advanced menu *#*#4636#*#*, u can update the SMSC only putting the encoded value like described in the link above
also the important things are the 2 buttons near the SMSC field:
- the first on the left (nearest the field) mean refresh: basically should load ur actual SMSC (sometimes don't work)
- the second on the right (far from the filed) mean update: so it change ur SMCS with the actual value on the field..so be carefully if the field is empty
(in my language the translation of those button are wrong, and both have the same label..thats why im explaining it )
anyway i suggest to don't play with the *#*#4636#*#* menu at all, unless u have problems
hope this helps some future users
I need help. Im in the US on AT&T. Im having the same problem sending sms. I can receive them but just cant send them. I think i messed up my smsc. Messing around with*#*#4636#*#*.I dont know what to do. Im running stock rom. Can somebody help me and tell what number need to put in. Im kinda lost. Gsm galaxy nexus in the use on ATT

[Q] no signal, can't select network, but there is mobile internet.

Hi.
Galaxy Nexus, 4.2.1, bot unlocked from amazon about 6 months ago.
On dec 2nd signal just went off. So no calls nor receiving can be done. While mobile internet is still ok.
Network is giffgaff, running through O2 - UK.
Taking this sim to other phone - works fine.
Support from giffgaff said that everything is perfect on their end.
Putting any sim in this phone, shows same issues - no signal, but there is mobile internet.
Checked status of IMEI, and it says in online services that phone is unblocked.
I have tried on/off airplane mode, restarting, taking battery off for a while, with sim in and out, as well did factory reset - still issue is here.
It is unrooted, just original rom.
Going to settings > mobile networks > network operators > I select any network and it says: "Can't connect to this network at the moment. Try again later.". Same when choose automatically.
It allows to do emergency calls, and in status bar shows: "emergency calls only | giffgaff".
In About Phone section, network is "O2 - UK" as suppose to be, Signal strength "-101 dBm 7 asu", mobile network type "HSPDA:8", service status "Out of service", Roaming "Not roaming".
Please ask any questions if any additional information is needed.
King regards.
I am looking forward to anyone to try assist with this issue, and kin to help.
Contact your operator for change your sim, it happens to me this summer, my Sim card was working well with other phones but with my Gnex everything was disabled. Then I've received my new Sim card and everything is working well

Based on this info, I suspect your radio simply died. You could of course try to reflash the radio firmware yourself, but I would not get my hopes up.

Thanks for info. I thought about that as well.
So would it be the option if I have bought the device from amazon, to use their RMA services - they should replace device.
Is that right?
Thanks for helping out.

Phone Signals

I have a canadian based S3 I747 and its unlocked (any sim card i insert it wont ask for the unlock code). However, no matter what i do... (root, update a non carrier rom, carrier rom, reset settings, install cwm radios posted in xda) the phone will not get any signal strength.
The imei is showing... however the signal strength is 0dBm 99 asu... I cant even dial 911 it will say mobile network not available..
Any solution to this will be grately appreciated... i will gladly buy you a coffee or a ham burger...
Thanks,
How did you unlock your device?
Does this happen even with the stock ROM and whatever SIM you were using before you unlocked the device?
Do you have an appropriate network operator set in Settings -> Other -> Mobile network settings -> Network operators (automatic might work in this case), and a matching APN?
Just trying to get a sense of what might be causing this...
Maybe a hardware issue?

It shows the apns automatically once i put the sim card... like Bell or Rogers settings are shown in APN automatically....which means it reads the sim cards but doesnt register on any network... no bars... just a do not enter like symbol.....

I'm not really an expert on this either, but I'm going to guess one of two things is going on:
1) The phone isn't as unlocked as advertised - perhaps something went wrong with the unlocking process and shot the modem firmware. You'd need to figure out what network the phone was originally on to figure that one out, though. (Which reminds me - what baseband is your phone running right now? You might try something else from here - and make really sure you're using a Canadian baseband!)
2) Something was wrong with the phone long before it was ever sold to you, be it bad hardware, a bad IMEI (stolen phone?), etc. - the whole description of "bought my phone from someone" just sounds suspicious to me when you put it like that.
Honestly, I hope it's a modem firmware issue (I think if it was something to do with the IMEI and the like, you wouldn't be seeing those strange signal strength numbers).
EDIT: Here's a fun fact: when I unthinkingly flashed the broken CM10.1 12/28 build this morning (broken in that it refuses to communicate with the baseband), I saw exactly the same strange signal strength numbers. This leads me to believe that you are indeed facing a trashed baseband and/or an empty IMEI number, so check those out!

You could fix your s3 ?? I have the same problem

major unlock fail

Phone is an S3 for T mobile running 4.1.1
I've been in phone unlocking hell for 4 days.
Closely followed the "free" unlocking in debug mode method-trouble was phone will auto lock back after a couple hours or calls.
Tried turning the flag on and off, factory reset, all kinds of stuff and still no luck.
I broke down and bought an unlock code but can't get my phone to prompt for it.
I can't seem to undo the service mode change or find a way to enter the unlock code.
The phoen will not prompt me for an unlock code no matter which way I try to reset it.
Have you tried to odin to latest jb stock ?

Are you inserting a non T-Mobile sim card into your phone? ( I am assuming that your cell phone is the t-999) That is the only way your phone will ask for the unlock code.

yes, inserting non t mobile sim- it doens't prompt for unlock code
If I root and flash a different rom does does it bypass all hte lock/unlock BS or am I still going to have to figure out how to get that code entered
Also tried reinstalling drivers from kias- just rooted phone-it wouldn't be much trouble to install a different rom if that is the fix.
also I bought an unlock code but don't see a place to enter it in
Not 100% sure but I was under the impression the simlock feature was null on sgs3. I have no issues with mine using straight talk wireless full unlimited ($45 per mth). Aside from that, if you can give me some info on what you have done I might be able to help more. There are a few settings that need to be changed as well as phone based service menu changes.

Got a prompt for an unlock code, which I didn't have.
Used Google, found a way that looked promising by going in the service menu.
*#197328640#
Main Menu
[1] UMTS
[1] Debug Screen
[8] Phone Control
[6] Network Lock
Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF
(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in
[6] Network Lock then choose
[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone
Ok did that then phone worked. Kinda. It works for about an hour or a couple of phone calls, then the phone says "searching" and I don't have any network connection.
Also tryied turning the SHA256 back on, back off, intializing, every combination you can imagine, same result, phone doesn't work.
Bought an unlock code but can't get the pop up to come on to ask for it so I guess it is worthless.
Tried reinstalling firmwire via Kias. Same thing.
Rooted phone thinking that might be the answer. Worked for a day then same thing.
Spent countless hours on google and these forums trying to figure out a way to fix it.

It's like the phone is shutting itself down.
Have you changed your service address? Sounds like your sgs3 isn't finding the correct path to your new network. ....
In your Phone: Go to settings<more settings<mobile networks- then touch the option network operators to scan the available networks in your area, wait for some moment, let your phone scan, a list of available networks in your area will appear then, select the network name of your service provider to register it and you are done. You can restart fore more efficient use then.
This is from another site, I have cm nightly so my options are a lil different now. That being said after manually selecting my network with stock rom, setting my APN/WAP had no issues. With the cm nightly I didn't have to change anything. I'm thinking one of the os updates might have made it hard to access or change this option.

I selected 311040 and nothing....still got the "searching".

please please please let this thing be fixed!
Ok we are getting somewhere.
Last night after I "registered" to T-mobile the phone did fine.
Today I stopped in at Cell one on the way home and told them I thought it was fixed and what I did.
She said that isn't good because I will get booted off when my bill comes because 50% of my useage has to be on cell one network.
So she scanned there at their store and set it to cell one.
I get back home and I'm booted off again. I tried to put it back on T mobile and I get an error now that says my Sim does not allow to register on this network.
Is there anyway to get ALL of T-Mobiles stuff off of this phone?
Would flashing a ROM do that?

Tmobile S4 on AT&T cannot connect to LTE help!

Hey everyone!
So I picked up a tmobile s4 to use on ATT since I read it was the most unlocked due to bands / bootlocker. I unlocked it via the method described on this site via the debug menu.
Popped in ATT sim, everything looked fine initially.
1. I'm only getting 4G in an LTE area. device hasn't picked up any LTE anywhere yet.
2. When I go under "Network Mode" and select "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) the signal dies out and it always reverts back to GSM/WCDMA"
3. I've called ATT a few times and triple checked that I'm on an Android LTE data plan, so that's not an issue. ATT techs suggested it could be a device issue and maybe I should take it into their tech center.
4. Tried to set up ATT Visual Voicemail, that failed also.
So can it be a Sim issue? Maybe something on tmobiles side? Since device was never active on their network. A lemon S4?
I've run out of options
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA!

Popped in ATT sim, everything looked fine initially.
1. I'm only getting 4G in an LTE area. device hasn't picked up any LTE anywhere yet.
2. When I go under "Network Mode" and select "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) the signal dies out and it always reverts back to GSM/WCDMA"
3. I've called ATT a few times and triple checked that I'm on an Android LTE data plan, so that's not an issue. ATT techs suggested it could be a device issue and maybe I should take it into their tech center.
4. Tried to set up ATT Visual Voicemail, that failed also.
So can it be a Sim issue? Maybe something on tmobiles side? Since device was never active on their network. A lemon S4?
I've run out of options
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA!

Tried doing that. It says " USSD Code running" then it stops and states "Unable to process request"... I dont think that was normal?

Thank you!
I also found the setting from here:

The main end game fix was that ATT had my IMIE # incorrectly set. Once they fixed that my LTE was a go!
:good: :laugh:
