[Q] Help Me Change Phone Number in Settings (ROOTED) - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What I want:
My phone is rooted. I want to change the phone number listed in SETTINGS.
Why?
Because I ported my number to current provider, SIM number doesnt match with phone number in settings
Real reason?
Paypal app won't work without this.
Please don't tell me to:
- Put my sim in an iphone or blackberry
- Install xposed framework
- That it's not possible

In dialer, goto settings->GSM call settings->Additional settings->My phone number
Its there for me, so check it out.

Does not exist in my moto g. Are you on about 'phone' app when you say dialer? There is no GSM CALL SETTINGS.

Yes, phone app.
I'm running slimkat, so its probably not there on stock.
It might be elsewhere under settings in phone app.

[Q] Verizon GS3 Caller ID problems

Every time i receive an incoming call, the caller ID displays the number in a weird format. ex. +2223334444 (only displays + sign, area code and phone number).
For my understanding, the PLUS sign should be followed by a COUNTRY CODE which is 1. then the area code in PARENTHESIS and phone numbers with a DASH in between. My caller ID is displaying the incoming phone number in a string so that it is not recognized by my contact list.
I am having trouble to fix this issue by adjusting setting, there is no option under PHONE > MENU > CALL SETTINGS > ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
All i have under the additional settings menu are Call barring, Noise reduction, and Fixed dialing numbers.
My Verizon GS3 is rooted and unlocked to use AT&T prepaid SIM. Nothing major got changed except switching the network to GSM. Is that something Verizon has done to cripple their own SCH-i535 version? Any way to get my caller ID back to display the proper format with dash and parenthesis?
Thanks!
Sorry can't help but I'm curious, what do you consider a Major change?

Not sure about stock as I'm running Synergy, maybe stock from Verizon has more or possibly Verizon doesn't allow those options and the videos are from a different version.

I'm using GV. I had issues trying to get it to work at first. I tried a few things to get it working. First I just changed the section in call forwarding to my GV number. Seemed to work ok. But if I remember correctly To get it actually working I had to go to my google voice account on computer and go to settings. Then select deactivate google voice on this phone. It then gave me the code to type into my phone. Then I went back and hit activate my google voice number. Again it gave me the code to enter on my phone. After that I just went through install and setup for GV app on my phone.
The deactivating and the re-activating did the trick.

Awesome! Glad you got it working.
Or, if you switched carriers (and opted for a new number) like me, you can just disable the old number. I forgot to deactivate the old number before shutting off service to the phone.

Any way to install Google Phone?

It seems that the stock Huawei dialer isn't fully compatible with using Google Voice to make calls. Sometimes it uses the GV number, sometimes the SIM number. I know the workaround would be to make calls directly from the Hangouts app, but that's not helpful in areas without great signal. Does anyone have a way to install the stock Google Phone app? I know it can be added as a system app, but as far as I know we currently lose mods to system on reboot... (Unless I'm wrong on that?)
Thanks!

have you tried going to apkmirror.com and installing one of the stock dialer apps?

Yep. The more recent dialers are looking for the associated framework, so they complain the phone is not compatible. I tried an older version that would install and it functions okay...but when dialing out the stock Huawei dialer takes over to actually make the call. (Even after changing the phone app in defaults.)

DAMN. This sucks for me. I just got my mate 9 but I need to switch from verizon to a GSM provider. So no old dialers work?

Right. It installs, but doesn't actually take over making a phone call.

Hmmm...not sure what you mean. I'm not aware of any way to place a call directly from the Google Voice app? It just allows you to specify whether the default phone app should dial via Google Voice, which works about 1 out of 5 times when it's turned on.

Hmm nvm I thot u could guess it just takes u to the default dialer.
It seems that no matter what you choose as the default dialer app, the Huawei remains the default. I've tried a few different dialer replacements, same results. I've seen the same comment on other Huawei forums as well...

OP6 + Google Dialer = Vo VVM

Coming from a OP5T, using the Google Dialer with T-Mobile here in the US, my visual voice mail (VVM) worked as expected. However, on the OP6, I can not enable VVM. When I go to Settings -> Voicemail there is not option to turn VVM on/off as there is on my OP5T. Anyone else seeing this issue our know how to fix it? I can put SIM back in the OP5T and VVM will work on it....
I'm wondering if you're actually using the Google Dialer, because that's not what comes on the phone. I'm using the modded Google Dialer on T-Mobile and visual voicemail is working fine for me. I didn't have to change any settings other than change the default phone app to the modded Google Dialer.

I was using the Google Dialer from Magisk. Mind to point me to where you got your modded Google Dialer?

Can you check your settings on your Google Dialer? When I go to settings -> voicemail, I do not have an option to enable visual voicemail. see attached image.
My settings look like yours.
I'm not too familiar with VVM, but I assume you just mean the tab for voicemails with the play/pause/delete buttons for each voicemail? If so, that's working for me. If it's something more, then I'm not sure. My voicemail is empty right now so I can't show you what it looks like, but I had a few voicemails earlier and I deleted them from that tab. I can't send myself a test message until tomorrow when I have access to a second phone.
I just changed over to the Magisk version, since the modded version I had made the notification answer/decline buttons not work, so I wouldn't recommend it. But it can be found here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
I did notice that the voicemail tab wasn't there until I enabled phone permissions for Google Dialer app. But I'm guessing that's too obvious to be your problem.

Yeah, I am the one who originally made the Magisk version so it would work with OnePlus devices.... It's odd, my will not retrieve voicemails from T-Mobile but my OP5T would do just fine. For now, I just reverted to the google voice method and that is working. Odd.

So after testing today I'm leaving myself a few voicemails, neither the modded version of the dialer or the Magisk version seem to be showing the voicemails. I guess I might have seen them in the OnePlus dialer and that's where I deleted them. I can't be one hundred percent sure.
For now, I am just using the T-Mobile visual voicemail app.

Yeah, that is exactly what I see. It works on stock app, but not Google Dialer. I am using the Google Voice method, and it does the trick for now.

What is the Google voice method?
Sorry, not to change subject, but the Magisk version of the Google Dialer support the Spam call detection? Figured I'd ask since both of you seem to be running that version.
I was using the modded Google dialer as well on my OP6 and had no Visual Voicemail option, only with the stock dialer do I have any VVM option.

Is that the same thing I am doing -- I have Verizon set to NOT send my missed calls to voicemail, but to forward it to my Google Voice number. Then my Google Voice is set to immediate Do Not Disturb and goes to voicemail.
I did that because Verizon's stupid free voicemail doesn't transcribe the whole thing and they make you pay to have more than 20 voicemails in queue.

Dual Sim Dialer

Hey Guys,
I just installed second sim card in my pixel 3a. Phone is working in dual standby without issue, well there is only one issue with dialer. My main sim is esim, text, calls and data are set by default to that sim.
If You open dialer you can call only from main sim, well when call is connected you can tap change sim, but current call is disconnected. Is there any chance to get proper dual sim dialer, where you can choose which sim before you place a call? Samsung has that option
Just install True Phone from Play Store and configure it (don't use it as default phone app and you'll be happy)
