Phone number unknown

In settings - about phone - status - my phone number it says unknown. On my old Xperia Z my phone number was listed there. Z3 works completely normal. Phone calls, SMS, data... No problem. Do you have your phone number listed in status or have some of you also encountered the same issue? I don't know if it is a problem or not. One guy who has the same problem and is on the same carrier got new nano sim card but problem was not solved. Then carrier reset his card without success, phone number is still not listed. Is that a real problem or should I just ignore it?

My number is listed there, and I'm guessing it's no big deal if it isn't. But I might be wrong though, never thought much about it. Please correct me if I am ?

I dont see it as being an issue what so ever but as for why it is not showing there. . . . . . . . . .I have no idea! Mine says unknown too

I think it's the new TMobile SIMs. No big issue, newer SIMs just aren't storing the phone number on them.

No number shown on o2 in the UK, maybe a broader issue.

Using a newer SIM Card? I can check my wife's when she gets home (she's still using her BB Curve 8330 Sim Card) but I switched to a new SIM card.

My T-Mobile number shows, however its not an issue if it doesn't, your phone will work fine on your network.

It is only reading a field called the MSISDN on the SIM which is not really used for anything useful. It varies from carrier to carrier as to whether they populate this field.

Mine is being shown; EE in the UK.

works for me too! I'm on 3 UK
Dom, can you open contacts app and look for a contact called 'Myself'? Its automatically generated by the phone.
It also should have your mobile number in it.
If it doesn't then its either SIM/Provider issue. Try replacing the SIM with a new one.

Smart Lock feature on the leaked lollipop roms

The title says it all.
Moderators, if I posted in the wrong section, please direct this thread to the proper one.
So one of the biggest features that I've looked forward to when Lollipop was announced was the smart lock feature, especially the trusted face one. I was so giddy when I finally got to test it out when I tried CM12 build, though it didn't function as well the way I saw it perform on my friend's nexus 7. I was so excited to try this out when lollipop was leaked both to the Note 3. I was utterly disappointed though that it was missing. I've tried beckoning the few developers who have cooked up ROMS from the leaked lollipop.
So I guess this is me beckoning everyone else who have the means to try and figure out if Samsung simply buried trusted face or not and if it is possible to bring it out.

try clicking on the hidden content. I wasn't referring to smart lock in general, I was pointing out that trusted face is missing from the smart lock features.
here's an example:

i see what you mean now however i don't think Samsung disabled it though. I think it's tied to the Google play services app.
i was able to get trusted places by installing a leaked apk from APK Mirror

hmm okay, I really tried researching on it but since lollipop isn't official yet on most Samsung devices except for a few ones that already got an OTA(S5) and nobody really ever bothered, I think.
I've updated my google play services and I still don't have it, can you link it by any chance?

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-play-services-6-5-99-1642632-446-apk/

trusted place has been there since the beginning, I was referring to trusted face--which still isn't there even with the latest google play services.

"Slot has been permanently blocked"

I flashed a custom ROM and the on first screen my device asked to insert the PIN code, then i tried more than two times and it showed "Slot has been permanently blocked". I could't make any phonecalls And when i flashed my stock ROM it works normal.
Do you know how to unlock the SIM slot?
Thank you very much.
Device: Blu vivo IV (Gionne s.5.5) chipset 6598
Custom ROM: Lolifox V6
---------------------------------
If you truly believe the device is stolen or has otherwise been acquired through illegitimate means, we can't help you - you should contact the authorities and have the seller investigated. Stealing is a crime and stolen IMEIs are blocked for that very reason.
If not, first check that the phone supports the network frequencies that your carrier uses wherever you are - not all phones support all bands, and not all carriers support all bands either.
If you can tell us the make and model of the phone, we can point you to a device-specific forum in case it's a general problem or issue with that phone model.
Beyond that, you can try to take up with the manufacturer of the phone or the carrier if it's a carrier-branded phone.
I once had to make numerous called to my carrier's support line because my new imported phone was somehow registered in my carrier's database as a completely different kind of device, so the system kept kicking me off the data plan."

My device was not stolen, i bought it recently, if you guys want i could post the photography of the box.
I live in BRAZIL (BLU IV) and i am trying to install a custom room for a device which's made for INDIA(GIONE s5.5), the device, it self, is the same, what changes its the "software".I saw a video on youtube that someone from USA installed the same custom ROM and didn't get any problem.
I am apologies for this good English sirs.

If you enter the wrong PIN more than three times, the "slot" gets blocked and you can't use your SIM to connect to the network anymore. Newly bought SIM cards come inside one bigger card on which your PUC is written on. For security purposes, SIM cards require this code to be entered if they get locked down.

Bricked S7 SM-G930T

Hey folks,
Got a bit of a problem. Seem to have bricked my S7. Which is a bit of a problem.
I was following this guide;
https://theunlockr.com/2016/09/03/ro...xy-s7-s7-edge/
Which borked once I flashed it via Odin.
So I went about google how to take this back. Tried to follow this;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xy-s7-t3600380
Failed half way through reflash and now comes up with;
"An error has occured while updating the device softwareuse the emergecy recovery function in the smart switch PC Software"
So i found this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yXQUFrEWg4
So I download the Smart switch software and get to device initialisation and then it asks for my Serial Number. Which, I can't get because it's in the software of the phone. There's no external Serial number. I think if I could get an SN for a SM-G930T phone I might still have a shot at saving this.
Can anyone help me with this? I'd rally, really appreciate it.

https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G930t/
Just found this which could be useful if I could get into the download bit, which I can't seem to be able to anymore.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...store-t3367007
This too looks useful, again, only if I can get back to the download screen.

Could anyone send me an SN for an SM-G930T so I could get the emergency software recovery to work? That would be great.

It's not on the back of this phone. I also got this second hand from Ebay and so didn't have a box. So, I just found one on the internet and that has worked.
I've managed to get it back working... but I don't want to talk too soon. it's taking me through the usual startup stuff but I'm not out of the woods yet... This has been a hair raising adventure so far and I'm absolutely no further forward than I started.
Not ideal finding a random SN tht matches your model number but we will see if that has any lasting repurcussions. In the meantime, it appears to have got me out of a hole.

Don't suppose you can link me to a rooting process for the SM-G930T could you?

So I have a SM-G930T on Android 7 (Nougat) and I'm looking to root it ultimately to make some changes about tethering identification as I did with my former Z2 and posted a solution on how to do that.
Any help would be grately appreciated.

This looks good.

There's the video. Will be investigating this further later.

when you boot in download mode, press the home button before you press confirm, it will give u your serial and imei

Useful info... but sadly not what is needed I'm afraid.

As it happens, doing those steps, my SN shows blank.

Question Corrupted firmware software

Purchased a sm-s908u 1tb model from Facebook marketplace earlier and on getting it home noticed it was very sluggish
Factory reset and hardware reset and noticed that non of the Samsung one ui settings were available in settings.
Then realised that there was no one ui elements at all! Seems to be badly running a vanilla android!
What are my options?
My first thought was to download firmware from samknows and hope that it fixes this very odd issue!
The phones still under warranty so I could always go down that route.

What phone is that supposed to be? Looks like a clone

It's not supposed to have rounded corners, you've been scammed

Nah its legit, the IMEI codes on the phone match with the box

I'm sorry it's fake it's not even the proper settings menu or anything

Scammer know how to do that. It’s all stolen, or faked. You have been scammed. Unless you can return it, your money is gone. if you try to use the warrant, you will be told the same thing.
another way I know it’s fake is a lot of these screens are clearly fake, not something Samsung would create, very ugly too. Look at the updator. Obviously fake. The toast in the second update picture has a grammer mistake too. And so does everyhtig in the updator. Read it again. And Google the real Samsung update screen. And real Samsung start up screen.

Can you get into recovery? What does it look like? If it really is legitimate, you might be able to load an official firmware, but who knows. What provider are you using? Are you using an e-sim? Says you are using slot 2.
The screen on a real S22U will be edge to edge, so I am afraid the others may be right.

100% fake.
Sorry mate

Don't order things like that from Facebook marketplace bro, that looks so fake

The welcome screen looks like Note 4 or 5. I'm sorry this happened. I don't know why people buy cell phones off Market

"The current version is the latest, not found the new version!" is the kind of broken English you would find in a fake phone.
And the SM-S908U only has one physical SIM, the other is eSIM.

Facebook is not your friend. Bad people reside there.

hello friend odin recognizes your cell phone if it is not false

Dial these two codes and see what happens
*#1234#
*#0*#
