Hi:
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus that I flashed recently to make it work with Page Plus Cellular.I used instructions from a thread I found in these forums. The flashing worked perfectly, I got the phone connected to Page Plus with no problems. Now I am going to be porting another phone number into this phone so I need to be able to edit "My phone number" and "MIN". When I flashed the phone, Page Plus assigned a phone number to this phone and I had to edit these settings, but I can't remember what I typed in the dialer pad, I remember it was something like *#*#??????*#*# but I can't remember exactly what it was. Can someone here please help?.
Thanks.

Hey guys, title says it all. To detail, basically I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that is (or was) programmed to Page Plus. Talk and text worked fine, though data did not work. Well for some stupid reason, this morning I decided to try *228 for OTA programming. This is where it gets weird.
After OTA programming finishes, I notice I have a strong data connection. I place a test call and it works. The only thing is, it's a different phone number. See, I originally tried to port over a number from Google Voice to Page Plus and it didn't work, so I was assigned a new number. After doing the OTA programming, I now have that Google Voice number and I don't know how or why. I'm just waiting on phone calls on my old number from people I contract with, so it's pretty important I get back to my old number.
I have ETS and some other software needed for programming, I just don't know how to go about it. Do I need to change the IMEI? MIN? They're all showing up as "Unknown" in the About Phone section.
Thanks so much for the help guys!
Hi everyone,
I seem to be facing a problem that I haven't found discussed here with my phone.
Following a successful upgrade to Slimbean 4.2.2 build 6 OFFICIAL, everything seems to be working correctly with my Tmobile UK SIM card and I can make or receive calls and texts, I can read the IMEI reference but for some reason my phone number is not displayed anymore in the "about phone" section in Settings or if I use an app like "SIM Card" to read the details of the SIM. I get instead the message "unknown number"
I am not sure if this is a problem or not, so I would like to know if anyone can think of any potential limitation due to this issue.
On top of this, I am about to move abroad and was going to request a code from Tmobile to unlock the phone as I assumed the phone was locked to their network, but when I tried a THREE SIM card, the card was actually accepted and I connected to that network but again the phone number is not displayed in the settings section...
Has anybody seen or heard a similar issue?
I installed a fresh Slimbean ROM from scratch as I was previously running a completely different ROM and I assume it was successful as everything seems to be working.
The only issues I could find in the forum were related to not being able to retrieve the IMEI number after the upgrade, but nothing about the phone number itself.
I would be very grateful if anyone could offer any help or suggestion.
Thank you in advance.
David.
I have noticed the same thing on the official CM 10.1 builds (with both Three UK and giffgaff SIMs), I suspect it is an issue but it's not a real bother to me all it means that any app that auto detects your phone number (eg hangouts) will just ask for it during initial setup instead.
Again the same for the IMEI sometimes this doesn't show up but it does most of the time.

Thanks Hydo1,
I have found a couple of things yesterday.
First, I have been able to add the number manually through the settings menu in the dial pad and it now shows in the "about" section.
Second, I have found out that although my voicemail is setup and active when I call the Tmobile services, it doesn't actually work anymore and I can only guess it is due to this issue as it was working before...
I'll try again once I have switched to a new network abroad...
Ok, so I flashed to Page Plus awhile back, then I heard about Ring Plus, and decided the service plans were perfect for me. I flashed a ZVC rom through LGNPST that put everything back to stock, supposedly.
I then activated with Ring Plus and got voice, mms, text, and 4g working but no 3g. Ok, so I boot up QPST and look at my current configuration, which is still showing some Verizon settings, after hours of digging around looking for settings and experimenting with settings myself, I'm still left with no 3G or even 1x for that matter. 4G still works great, but my local tower only transmits 4G to a few areas in town.
To the point...I want you to please share your Sprint settings with me, if you are on Ring Plus, even better. If you need incentive, money is available. Screen captures are what I need, but please cover up important info just for safety. Thanks in advance!
I'm on Ring Plus. How do I get the information you need?

Nice. Are you familiar with QPST? I'm using version 2.7 build 422. Along with QPST you will need the LG drivers if you don't have them already. I got the latest QPST version from the CDMA Gurus forum.
After all of that installs, set your phone into diagnostic mode by entering ##3424# in the dialer and enabling the option. Plug in your phone to a USB port you have never had problems with.
Open up QPST Configuration and you should see your phone pop up, I had difficulty with mine and had to restart my computer to get everything recognized.
From the QPST Configuration window click on the top bar Start Clients and then Service Programming, your phone should automatically pop up in this new box that opens up, click Ok. From here, click on Read Phone and it will ask you for your MSL, mine is 000000, and I'm pretty sure all of the LGOGs are (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Then you have the option of either doing screen captures to get me the info or to save your configuration into a .qcn file (bottom right of box "Save to file"). After you have done this please hook me up with your paypal email so I can put some cash into your account. Thanks man, I'm really excited to possibly get this thing working right again. I almost broke down today and purchased a used Samsung GS2.
Sure thing. Our job site will be done tomorrow. So I'll have the picture posted up then. And don't worry about the money. We're family here on XDA. And family never charges to help each other out.
That's great man! I'm going to go ahead and post up all of my screen captures in QPST which could potentially save you from having to post more pics than necessary,
Ok, here we go, hopefully they aren't too small. I left out blank windows and hopefully all important information regarding getting my phone jacked, heh, after all, this can be read with a Google search.

Alright. Just arrived back from our project. Sent you a message.
Still looking for a solution. I purchased an HTC Evo 4G and took note of the settings on the Evo and put some of those settings into my OG, still no go. Haha, the good news is that I keep finding more places in town that have 4G, so every time I am in a new place my phone hasn't been to it's like a little game to find out if 4G is there or not, lol!
Is it possible that when I first flashed my phone with "Magical Phones" they dumped my HA and AAA keys? When I read the area they are supposed to reside in all I get are 0.
If this phone weren't so absolutely flawless I would sell it and move onto something that works correctly. I can't believe what this phone sells for now, it seems like it is getting cheaper by the day.
Hello,
First, let me express my deepest thanks in advance for those of you who may be of assistance. I have visited this site many times over the years when I needed to find the answers to smartphone related issues (mostly rooting..etc). I have usually found the information that I needed via reading posts and trial and error; however, I am having a problem that I cannot find the answer to and it is frustrating the crap out of me.
So, here goes:
I bought a LG LS980 off of Ebay. It was locked to Sprint and I had a friend of mine root it (since I couldn't figure it out and it ended up being that the firmware had to be downgraded since a patch was bumped to it) and unlocked (or so i was told, but I do not know how to find out). It is currently running Cyanogenmod 12.1. I wanted to use my old phone's SIM and pop it into my new phone so that I could enjoy it (the old phone was a Nexus and ran hella slow). So, anyway.... I contacted NET10 customer support since that is my carrier and explained what I wanted to do. They let me know that as long as it is unlocked that I would be able to just swap the SIM into the new phone and should be good to go. They checked my IMEI and said that the phone was, indeed, compatible and as long as it is unlocked it should just be a matter of a simple ROM swap. Not the case. I put the SIM in and booted it up. It went from No Service to saying "Sprint" on the upper left hand corner. I try to make a call and it states that, "The code or number that I am dialing is incorrect, please try the code or number again". I looked this up on the internet and didn't find a focused answer. I talked to my friend and he stated that I may have to set up a new APN profile.
I have checked the APN settings on it and all of the APN profiles have the prefix "Verizon". I used this mini tutorial at http://forums.androidcentral.com/goo...-settings.html along with the NET10 settings to try and make a profile. Both of their workarounds don't seem to work. I can enter about half of the information and then either click BACK or SAVE and then the profile is gone. I am not sure this is the reason that my phone is not working, but I thought I would give it a try. I have also tried to use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798566 as a loose guide, TWRP installed. Keep in mind that I believe that my firmware was rolled back to ZVE. and not ZVD. When I have tried to edit the build.prop values at the tutorial states it does not save. Also, there are two lines that are not even in my build.prop (ro.build.target_operator and persist.service.crash.enable). When I have tried to edit or add it adds them but does not save and definitely does not persist through reboot. I feel as if I am close to getting the phone to work, but I am unsure where to go from here. I really do NOT want to have to go back to a stock ROM and all of that because....well.... my friend did the rooting and installing of cyanogenmod and I don't want to risk undoing all of his work and having to pay $ to have it done all over again (I have rooted phones..etc, but this G2 was a MOFO because of the firmware patch for me). NET10 CS and TS was of no help and they gave me a ticket number (and to tell you the truth the are outsourced and I can't understand what their reps are saying). So, does anyone have any advice or threads that I can look at? Like I said, I feel as if it is close, but no matter what number I call it says that recording. I get no incoming calls (although it rings when listening to the incoming calling phone's speaker). I am also unable to send or receive SMS or MMS messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not the most technically savvy person, but I can answer your questions to the best of my ability and I am good at following directions. (I have about 5-6 phone root/ROMS under my belt and even 2-3 SPRINT to NET10 activations, but this one is just perplexing the crap out of me) . Could it be that the phone is not unlocked???? How do I check this??? Is there a way??? When I put in the NET10 SIM it never asked me for an unlock code so I am assuming that my friend unlocked it? I have also tried "Turn the phone ON and type 2945#801# If nothing happens, type 2945#802# or 2945#*803#" and no hidden menu appears asking for an unlock code.

You can unlock your Sprint phone for GSM but you can't activate it to Verizon or its MVNOs.
