I've got a bit of a problem...
Start > Settings > |Personal| > Phone*
At the top of the screen there's the title "Phone - 0612945678"
That number is fictional, but the problem isn't. The number it's showing is not my number. It is *similar* to my other phone's number, but off by one digit.
My question is - how can I change the number that's shown there?
I did a quick search in the registry for "0612945678" (though the actual number shown, of course ), and it found nothing.
Any thoughts ?
this no is stored on th sim, you need to start sim manger, tools, list own numbers, then click on line1 and you should be able to edit it
this number is from the sim, but phone app does not always want to update is, especially with a sim-switcher this is noticable.

I have the same problem.
Sim Manager > Tools > List own numbers... => There is no item in the listbox here. Here is empty. No number to edit.
Still the default phone number in Phone Settings is different from my phone number? Any suggestions?

Is it possible in a dual sim phone to set which sim it will use in a contact based way? I mean, when I call "Home" it should automatically use Sim2, when I call Job it will automatically use Sim1, and so on?
Because as far as I know most dual-sim popups a menu asking which sim to use everytime you make a phone call.
Hello, anybody there?
Should be possible

Hi ,
NGM mobile has that option.
See their manual on ngm-mobile dot com website with extension
images/Documenti/EN/NGM%20Smart%20Dial_EN.pdf
They say to activate "associate contacts" in the Settings -> SIM setting. But on my phone the option to do that just isn't there.

Check out the app “SIM Selector”. I must say it wasn’t first mentioned by me, but by Zimtsäure in this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44478879&postcount=83.

It sounds like you've lost your IMEI. Could you check that for us?

Hi,
If you had lost your IMEI you could not make calls or SMS... EDIT: ok, IMEI is fine.
Check your APN settings in Settings/More/Mobile networks/Access Point Names.

But i still have no internet. Is there more to it?

Hmm, at this point multiple things...
Is the APN selected is the one used from your carrier? If yes the settings are correct (just in case)?
Have you network coverage (how is the signal, have you a edge/2G/3G and so on icons, bars)?
What happens when you try to use the browser or whatever (an error message)?
Could you test your SIM card in another phone?
@s-essa, try to add it manually depending of your carrier (maybe call them or take a look on the web for the settings), always in Settings/More/Mobile networks/Access Point Names and click on the little cross surrounded and don't forget to save.

Yes i have bars but i have no icons saying 3g or 4g....
when i try to use the browser it just doesnt load and said that i have no internet connection.
I entered it manually. i got the details off the website for my carrier.. and i did click save.
Does it take time to activate ? So after i enter it and save it and select it... how long until my internet will start working if what i did was correct?

Is there anyway to make the APN editable without rooting as I use a couple of banking apps that I can't do without ?
It was possible with my OnePlus 5 with Android 9.

Give this thread from last year a look (another model, naturally, but, it may apply).

Can't edit the auto APN as it's greyed out.
Thank you, yes that helped, I can now create a new APN and save it but I can't select it or delete the automatic APN.

I slightly altered my T-Mobile APN for a 2nd APN (changed the APN Protocol & APN Roaming Protocol to IPv4/IPv6).
Ran a speed test & it works. Perhaps it's not enough of a change to the original APN, but, I was able to select it.
I did find that once it's saved, to select another APN, you have to tap directly on the corresponding dot for the selected APN to change. If you just tap on it w/o tapping the dot, it won't select & just stay on whatever you're currently using.

Do you have a carrier-locked version?
If so, I'm guessing that may be the issue, even though mine is a T-Mobile US carrier locked version. (still SIM Locked) & I can get a 2nd APN to select.
I don't have another carrier SIM Card to see if I'd have the same issue as you. Perhaps someone else will be able to help w/a 2nd SIM/APN.
No it's an unlocked OnePlus 8 bought from Amazon.
I believe though that carriers are requesting locked APNs or pushing them to the phone and is a problem since Android 10.
Another sim I tried from a different carrier is also locked.
Anyway your suggestions are appreciated.

Yeah, troubleshooting is difficult when neither the mfg or carrier(s) want to take ownership of the issue.
Since the phone is SIM Unlocked, I'd start with the carrier & see if they have to whitelist your device (by IMEI) or whatever means they require for BYOD. I'd grab the SIM Card serial number as well before you give 'em a call.
The followong devices have been tested on Verizon in the US:
Xiaomi 11T
Xiaomi 12 global version
Xiaomi 12X global
Working:
5G
VoLTE
SMS both sending and recieving
Phone calls both sending and recieveing
IMPORTANT:
MMS on stock Global/China ROM wont work on anything other then Verizon messages
Verizon Messages - Apps on Google Play
Stay connected using Verizon Messages on your Smartphone, tablet, and PC
play.google.com
Please install and set as the default sms app.
However MMS does not work on mobile data only wi-fi. Luckily there is a way!
Getting MMS on data:
So this gets complicated. The xiaomi phones come with the wrong APN settings. So what needs to be done is copying the APN settings of a known good rooted android.
1. Copy the telephony.db off the good verizon phone
2. Install signal spy on the xiaomi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novvia.fispy
3. Once thats done find out what the verizon carriee id is, it should be a next to verizon, ie. Verizon(######)
4. Now pull the xiaomi telephony.db off the device
5. Install https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ on a computer
6. Open up the dbs
7. Now delete in the xiaomi dbs all entries ror LTE - Verizon, delete the rows dont NULL it.
8. Almost done
9. Now in both dbs search carrier: Verizon and numeric: ######
10. From the known good db copy everything except the _id column.
11. Past the data into the xiaomi table from row 0
12. Now delete whatever rows were NOT altered.
13. Now both tables should have the same exact verizon settings except for the _id column
14. Push the telephony.db back onto the xiaomi
15. Reboot
16. Open the dialer
17. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
18. Click phone info1
19. Set prefered network type
20. Select the second to last option NR/LTE/TDCDMA....
21. Turn the radio off and on
22. Reboot
23. Open settings and select the VZWINTERNET as the APN (thank you bjs339)
24. ???
25. Profit
The xiaomi can be unrooted and the telephony.db will survive a reboot and a sim removal.
One thing of note, you may need to enable roaming and 5g for the phone to register properly.
RESETTING APN OR RESETING NETWORK WILL ERASE THIS TABLE.
Other apps will now work for text mms, but will be limited to downloads of 30kbs, uploads are unaffected.
Let me know if you need help or have any questions.
I am so sorry for my terrible spelling.
One thing to add, I couldn't send or receive group text messages with iPhone users until I set the APN. I had to actually go into the settings and select VZWINTERNET. This is on the 12x global.
Interesting, did you have to change any of the other settings or did just selecting the APN fix it for you? Also are you able to recieve mms on data only? Thank you.

Selecting it was all I did. In fact, the other settings are locked down. I think I can get mms on data or wifi if that's what you're asking. And I could message with individual iPhone users prior to making the change, just not groups.

Very odd, yeah I messed with it for hours but had to actually root the phone and adjust the APN settings to get it to work. Hmmm, maybe we have different. Ooooh, are you on the 5G plan? I'm the LTE plan.

Hi all,
I am facing a serious issue in the Contacts app of my new Google Pixel 7 Pro.
When I call somebody and they answer their phone, the call shows as "Private number" in the Recents tab.
If they do not answer, then the contact name is shown normally, as it should.
Take a look at the screenshot here: https://postimg.cc/jL1yT1NX
All items shown as "Private" are calls that I made and they answered.
I've searched online, but find the thread on Pixel 6 section Pixel 6 Contacts Bug related to this issue with no solutions.
The bug is releted to provider (Italy Fastweb for me) but as I read that the bug is noticed in hungary, germany and other countries
Any insights could help a lot.
Do you get the same issue in a third party phone app?

Yes, I have tried various dialers with the same behavior.
I tried with another provider (Italy TIM) and the behavior is correct.
I have never had these problems with the previous cellphone Pixel 5.
same problem of pixel 6...(fastweb)
Check your Calling accounts settings...
Phone > Settings > Calling accounts > Your SIM > Additional settings > Caller ID.
- Network default (whatever your network provider defaults to)
- Hide number (will attempt to override network provider defaults and hide the number and show up as Private number)
- Show number (will attempt to override network provider defaults and show the number)

Did you try calling the network operator? It definitely looks like the operator has some configurations at the network level causing this.
LOL I confirm it's a pixel (7 pro, in my case) + fastweb issue. I had a OnePlus, same operator, and no issues.
Quite annoying
Same here, Pixel 7 Pro + Fastweb
If you are rooted
Check your carrier settings xml file
There might be some setting that you might be able to change
Same problem. Did you solve it?
Hello guys,
I used to have the same problem until yesterday. Today I attempted an outgoing call and unexpectedly did not face such issue. Maybe they fixed it.
Can anyone confirm it is behaving correctly, or is it just me?
italy+ fastweb today problem of private number is still present....
Spain + Jazztel and same behavior, some randome "Private Number" calls that should show my contact name
Pixel 7 + Fastweb (Italy) same problem. Started not a long time ago (maybe 5 days). I've had the phone since December 2022
