BIG problem!!, Text message to contact's secondary number

I have this problem.
I have a contact. He has two mobile numbers. I add both numbers to this contact.
I cannot seem to be able to send a message to the secondary number . It just will not show up when I type the "Name" in the to: field when writing a new SMS.
It only displays numbers marked as "Mobile"
The secondary one is marked as "Home"
I have options for: home, company, work, car.. etc, none of them work.
I cannot send a message even from the contacts screen..,,
How do I resolve this???

I just checked. It totally works fine. Send a new sms. put your cursor where you would type the name and press enter. you get the contact list. select contact and number voila.
next time, it is already in your messages.

yes, saved my day, just checked myself, never thought of pressing enter with the "to:" field empty.
still it should have had an option for setting a secondary mobile.... maybe some registry hacking????

I also noticed this barf today. If you type in the beginning of a person's name to the "TO:" field, it autofills it nicely, but automatically assumes the "Mobile Phone" number field will be used and there's NO way to change it.
The alternative way (press ENTER in the empty TO:-field) works, but again is an extra step too far.
The Windows UI guys really need to get their act together (maybe a bit those TF3D guys too). I'd expect this from a designer temp for his summer job, but not in a mass-market v.6 release in 2009!

I always have this problem,
Pressing ENTER works fine I see. I usually started up a new SMS, then went to "Menu > Add Recipient" and then the contact list is openend too ...
I have the same problem with two persons with alike names:
For example:
Tom Vaan
and
Tom Vaander
In the To: field I type Tom and only get the "Tom Vaan", no way to change it to "Tom Vaander"

Weird behavior in Galaxy Nexus dialer

People, here's the thing.
Here in Brazil, when a call is received, the caller number is sent to the phone in this format:
0 + area code (two digits) + caller number (eight digits)
For example, 0219236XXXX
My Galaxy Nexus gets this number and shows it in this format:
(21)9236-XXXX
This is one of the brazilian ways to present a phone number here, "(" + area code with two digits+ ")" + four digits + "-" + four digits. There are others, for example without the parenthesis (like this: 21 9236-XXXX).
The problem is that when I enter the call log to return a call, if I return it from an incoming call register, it works fine. But if I return it from an outgoing call register, the call is not complete because the number is not recognized.
It's hard to explain, I'll try to illustrate with steps.
- I receive a call from 0219236XXXX
- My Galaxy Nexus call log shows:
(21)9236-XXXX "call received" (a small blue arrow pointing down left)
- I enter call log and press that "call received" register
- The phone dials (21)9236-XXXX and the call is completed
- My Galaxy Nexus call log now shows:
(21)9236-XXXX "call made" (a green blue arrow pointing up right)
(21)9236-XXXX "call received" (a small blue arrow pointing down left)
- I enter call log and press the "call made" register
- The phone dials (21)9236-XXXX and the number is not recognized.
- But if I press the "call received" register, the number is recognized and the call is completed.
See what I mean? I guess that in an incoming call, the first '0' (zero) is there, but it's hidden. So when I dial from the incoming call register, although the number is shown (21)9236-XXXX, the dialed number is 0219236XXXX, which is a correct number to the network.
But when I dial from the outgoing call register, the number is shown (21)9236-XXXX and the dialed number is 219236XXXX. The '0' (zero) is discarded. Because of that missing '0' (zero), the number is not recognized by the network.
I don't know if this is a problem only with brazilian phone number format, or if it happens in other countries also.
Is there a way to fix this? Because of it, most of the times I have to edit the number before calling it.

Bump!
Anyone?

i don't know about in brazil,
here in uk, it works with no problem. it even tell you where the area of the number is from.
for example i just received a unknown insurrance call from
01515246303
it show in the call log
0151 524 6303
Liverpool
and i can dial back with no problem.

Have you tried dialing back from the outgoing call register?

yes, it dials with the 0 with it.

I have the same problem, nexus in Vivo carrier, everytime i try to dial last call it wont recognize the number, then i have to edit the number, its really annoying.

Yes i have a similar problem
Here is what i have noticed
Im in oman, country code +968, when im in my home country and dial a call to uae, +971 567 897070, the dialer shows 056 7897070.
What i think happens is as follows,
Since the location setting if english uk, the phone formats the numbers as per uk formatting. They use 10 digits as their numbers.
The ics reads and displays numbers in UK first every where. Im ginger bread, that formatting used to happen only while entering the phone number in the dialer, but it would read and display more than 10 digits while on the same UK setting.
My advice for the brazilian numbers, is change ur location to uk from usa if you are using english.
I hope they fix this bug

Number formatting problem
in iran my galaxy nexus have problem with number formatting too.
sometimes seprate the number (this format: +98 123 456 7890 or 0123 456 7890)*
but sometimes auto format not work (this format: +981234567890 or 01234567890)
or only seprate -with country code- numbers.

text, log, dial pad and new cantact page have this problem.
Y sgn automatically change formatting?
how i can solve it?
after resetting, default format is the first one (*).

Can't Send SMS Text Messages

Hi
This damned *#*#4636#*#* menu!!!
I know, I shouldn't be messing with what I don't know but I moved from an iphone so that I could 'fiddle' with a phone hence the GNex.
Anyhow. I have been having serious issues in sorting this out until I pieced the information together in this post. None of this I can take credit for - as it is built on others work - I just put it together in one easily accessible place.
The problem is that this menu somehow wipes the SIM card's record of the SMSC number.
You can't just enter the SMS Centre number as it is, you have to convert it into something called PDU format (no idea what this is)
I have converted a number of UK SMS Centre numbers into the correct format below.
Method:
1. Go to phone dialpad.
2. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
3. Scroll down to the bit that says SMSC
4. Type your sixteen digit number in from the table below.
5. Press Update
6. Press Refresh
7. Press Back button to exit the app.
8. Test by sending an SMS
Hope that helps. The GNex doesn't give an option which is easily accessible from anywhere to change the SMSC number, downright silly as my 10 year old Nokia would let me do that.
Just to help a few peoples out in the UK:
Network, Number, SMSC to type in
Vodafone (Monthly), +447785016005, 0791447758100650
O2 (Monthly), +447802000332, 0791448720003023
O2 (Pay & Go), +447802092035, 0791448720900253
Orange, +447973100973, 0791449737019037
Orange, +447973100974, 0791449737019047
T-Mobile, +447958879879, 0791449785788997
Tesco, +447802092035, 0791448720900253
Virgin, +447958879890, 0791449785788909
Three, +447782000800, 0791447728008000
ASDA, +447785014315, 0791447758103451
GiffGaff, +447802002606, 0791448720006260
Hope that helps someone out there as it helped me. I've been pulling out my hair all day...

This should be stickied in the Q&A section

My PDU number was not in this list, i solved this by moving my sim card to an old phone, and inserting the phone number there.

HTC T-Mobile G2 SMSC number update doesn't work

I am trying to change the SMSC number of my HTC t-mobile G2 via *#*#4636#*#* command through phone information screen.
But I get no reaction from the device though I push the update and refresh buttons.
And I am still unable to send sms with my phone. I checked also with the service provider. No problem from their side...
Is this hopeless?

what does it means when i typed some code in and it said, " unexpected data value"?

Probably what is sounds like...you did something unexpected... ie.. the result was unexpected...
Its probably a generic error that is trying to say "I don't know what you did but stop that"

You should not need to press dial to input the code. Mostly likely the code tried is not supported by the handset. That is a very generic list of Nokia codes, some will work and others will not.

I thought ##634# installed the Diag app. ##DATA# Just gives you cell info and tests.

Subscribed. Curious to see where this goes. Some of those codes look interesting and makes me wonder if there are any others

A lot of these don't work on ATT Lumia 900

So how do you get the "*" to work? Long pressed and typed in various ways.

[Q] problem sms

got this problem,never happen before:
apex 1.1.2, frankokernel, baseband xxkl1 (been with this radio for a long time)
i can recive sms,but cant send enyone. in config is selected WCDMA preferred, and i cant change it.
always worked properly this service until 2day (nothing changed) and i dont think is provider related because reciving works grat. any advice?

Sounds like your SMSC number have been messed up. Search a little in this forum to find how to change it.
/Edit: Thnx to S7evinK
Getting the real SMSC for android is a bit tricky
1.) Find the SMS centre number of your carrier (e.g. for t-mobile DE -> +49 171 076 0000)
2.) go to http://twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
3.) Enter the SMS centre number in the field "SMSC" and clear receiver and the message "How are you?"
4.) Click on "Convert"
5.) On the right side you'll see something like (in my example)
0791947101670000110000910000AA00
the first two digits show you the length. (7)
6.) 7x2+2 = 16 (+2 cause of the length needed[?]); Mark 16 digits from the start of the number. (here 0791947101670000) Thats your SMSC Number.
Go back to
*#*#4636#*#*
first option, scroll down to "SMSC" and enter your SMSC, click the button directly next to the input field.
Leave this screen and go back to it. Scroll down to the SMSC section and click the right button. (if everything is correct, you should now see the correct SMSC number instead of "00")
