[Q] Changing Phone Number in Settings-> About Phone -> Status - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I check the Phone number in Settings-> About Phone -> Status, it shows wrong number. Could anyone please let me know if I can edit this?
Thanks in advance!!!

To get your number to show in the status what you will have to do it go to contacts -> More -> Settings -> Own numbers, then put your information in there then it will show up on the status page and also on the Kies Application when you connect your phone.

[Q] Numbers instead of contact name in SMS

Whenever I receive a new SMS, only the contact number is shown.
I have to dial it up to see who it is.
How do I make it so the contact name will be shown instead of just the number?
Thank you.
That is weird. If you have the contact saved with that contact number, it should show. Is the format your numbers are saved in the same format that is received with the text messages? Also, is this with the stock app or with a 3rd party one?
Thank you for your answer.
Yes, it is the stock app.
Everything is stock on this device.
the numbers have a code (041 - for distance dial) before them, but this was not changed recently whereas the problem just recently started to happend.
Did you verify that Messaging -> Settings -> Only Mobile Numbers isn't checked?

I could not find such option, bassmadrigal.
You can try clearing the data for the messaging app found in Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Messaging
This *shouldn't* wipe your text messages (they should be stored in a different area), but it probably wouldn't hurt to back them up beforehand. I use SMS Backup and Restore found on the market.

Cell Broadcast / Cell Info

Dear all
Does someone know how I disable "channel 50 broadcasts"?
Within "Settings > Messaging > Community BroadCast" i clicked in the upper right on the "..." to enter "Cell Broadcast settings". I was able to disable all sorts of settings like "Turn on notifications". Unfortunately when I disable the "Show channel 50 broadcast" and I re-enter the setting window this entry is enable again.
I get all day a few annoying cell broadcast messages showing on which cell I'm not logged in.
I also issued the below adb command which opened the same broadcast setting window:
adb shell am start -n com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver/com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver.CellBroadcastSettings
I'm on newest ZUI Stock Rom 2.5.355 ST.
I do have two SIM cards from same Operator (one private & one business number). I'm not sure if there should be separate broadcast message settings per SIM card. Unfortunately I do not see an option to select the SIM card...
Thank you for any hints.

Hi, mixmaniax.
For my Zuk I've faced the same issue when tried to disable the cell broadcasts.
Have not found the way to disable it, or delete without having root on board, though you can disable the notifications that are harrassing and messing the notification bar:
1. Slide up from the middle of the screen to open the hidden search menu
2. Type Apps and click on Apps menu
3. Press three dots in the right top corner, choose show system
4. Click Cell Broadcasts - Permissions - Disable SMS
Hope it helps.
Dear kadabusha,
I've done what you suggested and for the time being it seems to have resolved my problem with these annoying messages
Thank you very much for your valuable and appreciated help. :good:
