*#*#4636#*#*
That code only pulls up IMEI 1 info when clicked on "Phone info"
How to access this for our 2nd IMEI?
I want to change the band to LTE only for my 2nd SIM.
There are other related "2 imei" threads. Nobody seems to have established if the OP3 is a "dual sim active"(in effect 2 separate phones) or a "dual sim standby" ( while 1 sim is handling a call the other sim cannot be used - only 1 IMEI needed????). Have you looked at (standard Android menu) Settings > Wireless and networks > SIM & network and scroll down to Default SIM setting - Does the ability to set the sim to be used for calls, messaging and data meet your needs?
You can see your IMEI number(s?) in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information (also info in same menu "SIM status")

You can dial *#06#, that code gives me both IMEIs on my OP3 A3003
What's weird is that my 2 imeis are both 14 digits whenever I was getting my sim changed at&t said its supposed to be 15 digits. So I used the imei that's in the *#*#4636#*#* menu and that works fine.

IMEI number is always 15 digits?

Yeah apparently at&t said that for them to put it into their system they have to be 15 digits or else it doesn't let them enter it.

An IMEI is 15 digits - 14 digits "the data" + 1 digit, a check digit to ensure that the 14 digits are valid. Google for IMEI structure and you will also find "calculators" that demonstrate the "check digit". IMEI is mandatory in Europe ( all networks must use "GSM" technology) and it means you can connect any "IMEI" phone to any EU carrier just by changing the sim card. Some US carriers use CDMA technology networks and the IMEI equivalent is a 14 digit MEID. The BIG difference is that "CDMA" requires the physical phone to be registered with the carrier with the MEID - you can't just swap the sim to change your network provider.

I'm on giffgaff. Also shows Network state as "Disconnected". Any ideas?
sent from my CNA gnex
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.

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.

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?

I bought this phone from someone and stupid me didnt check at the time... i have tried every sim there is present in toronto, canada... and still no luck...

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.....

One thing that i have noticed is that the serial number from the phone behind the back is not the same as the serial number shown in status settings of the phone....

Sorry please ingnore this as the serial number was changed when i installed cyanogenmod... when i put stock rom the serial number is back to thr same as the sticker behind the phone...
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
Hello,
Next week I'm traveling to different country so I'll change my phone number to new Sim, the Sim is a global but made from Belgium.
In Whatsapp plus there is an option to change the number, but I checked the if the app will work with the second number without using this option ant it works very well-I received messages that sent to my first Sim in the app while Sim number 2 was in the phone.
Would it work the same way when I'll be traveling?
Sincerely,

SIM is not used for WhatsApp to work - it is only used to validate your installation ONCE only. After that WhatsApp just uses any Internet connection you have available - Wifi or any other via any SIM Card in the device. You can also pull out the original SIM and use it elsewhere for plain telephony.
Thank you very much tobbbie.
I forgot to write it but it was also one my checks that I did.

Hi guys this worked for me, I'm on three network UK
Went into settings - date - time
Switched off auto time zone then selected time zone enter Hong Kong come out of settings then select phone dialler and enter ussd code *#*#86583#*#* then rebooted phone HD appeared on notification bar which is volte.. if it works for you remember to change auto time zone to auto when finished.. hope this helps..
I was having problem with volte, it didn't work, although i turned on this option with my network carrier. Sim card was in SIM1 slot, but in settings it said SIM2 (maybe Pie bug?) and i couldn't get it working.
After changing sim to SIM2 slot i only had emergency calls. After restarting phone sim started working and it showed sim card in SIM1 (although it was in SIM2 slot). I disabled volte carrier check with *#*#86583#*#* and voila, settings for volte calling showed up and HD icon showed up
also i noticed when my sim was in SIM1 slot, when i opened those special settings with *#*#4636#*#* there were no IMSI number, and voice and network type was unknown, but after changing it to SIM2 slot, values were finally normal and IMS status showed volte available
I hope this will help someone.
Hi all! On T-Mobile USA!
Using the Dialer codes I managed to get the provisioning and all ticked. Then I cycled through every Network Type option and at one point it magically DID register, as you can see in my screenshot!
I continued testing codes after that and after no success, went back to this and was not able to replicate it.
What would we need to do from here, once IMS is registered? Can anyone else get their IMS registered on Tmo USA?
Thanks!

Don't think that's a setting we can change. As far as i know that's set by the provider via sim card settings or when they provision the phone. It's possible a new sim card may fix the issue...
Did you contact the provider you are using and ask them to fix (or look into) it?
Had the same issue today. Couldn't get RCS working with EE Uk. Easy fix. Put your sim in an iPhone or blackberry, settings, phone, edit your phone number, save, remove sim. Put sim back in your and reboot. You'd have to do this for both sims if you're using 2 sims in your note 10+. Voila!
