After I've reset my Nexus S a few days ago... It makes all my calls shown as private number to others. Does anyone of you fellas know, how to change it back so my phone number is shown?
I'm using A.V. 4.0.3.
In advance thank you.
Open up contacts and go into settings. You'll find it in "Additional Settings".
It's no longer in the contacts settings with ICS, it's now in the Phone app settings.
Open the Phone app, go to Menu > Settings > Additional settings > Caller ID.
hi i have question how do i change the name that appears to people when i call them. it always appears like private and i cant find the option on settings i used to know how on Gingerbread but now that i am on ICS i have no clue, i have a Nexus s btw
Open up the "Phone" app, press menu and have a look around. They've moved it from system settings.
From phone app, press menu then setting. Its the first choice after you choose additional settings.
Hi,
I sometimes use my mobile for business calls and would like to hide my caller ID when doing so, I know you can find the option under: Settings > Other Call Settings Section > Additional settings > Caller ID
I also know you can add codes to front of numbers to hid it, but I was just wondering if there was a application that can simple toggle it on and off without going into the menus.
Thanks

I'm not sure if you're still looking but I found this today and it's works pretty well.

When I navigate to Settings > Wireless & networks / More > Mobile network settings > Carrier settings >Update PRL & Update profile both buttons appear but tapping on either does nothing? They do turn grey for the fraction of a second when pressed.
Am I missing something? Please tell me I am..
Is there an alternate way to update both profile & PRL maybe with a dialer code?
I remember when I had my gnex on 4.3 there was a sprintdiagnostics apk floating around... Is there anything like that for the N5?
Back to searching...
TIA
Hi -
How do I set a custom notification tone on an application (specifically, Google Messages)? I haven't found a way to do that yet, and I have pressed just about every button on the screen.
How do I permanently disable 5G connectivity? The battery draining impacts far outweigh the very minimal benefits of 5G, so I don't think we will ever want to use 5G.
Thanks!
For custom notification sounds you have to put them inside a certain folder, in the "My Files" app search for notifications and copy them into that folder. After that, you have to trawl though the app settings menu, usually I long press the app and select the "i" at the top right - using the Discord app as an example - from there go to Notifications > Notification Categories > Direct Messages (as an example) > Sound and select the one you want.
Uploaded 2 screenshots to show it in action.
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode, set to 4G

Thanks, @Sonic Steven!
That helped. I was able to set the Google Messages "Incoming Message" Notification Category to my custom sound. (BTW ... If there is another "Incoming Message" Notification Category for another application, will it also play my custom sound? Or, is this setting specific to each application?)
For disabling the 5G network, not as much luck. There wasn't any 4G or 5G settings visible in my AT&T Mobile Network settings. I may try removing my SIM card to see if something shows up.
I believe it is per app basis
If there's no option under the connection settings then I assume you would need to use something like the Samsung Band Selection app
Actually, I just found a better route than the Samsung Band Selection App:
This method exposes the hidden preferred Mobile Data Selector that's already in the phone.
Since we already were using Nova Launcher, this solution was a no-brainer (well, after someone else's brain had figured it out).
No additional software required for us.
