I used mobile number portability to change my network operator I was given a new SIM after activation I inserted the SIM in my Xperia Z1, Even after entering every pin and password it keeps on messaging to my friends numbers that a new sim is inserted in phone.
Everytime I enter pin for unlocking screen, I get popup asking for security password from myXperia settings How can I get rid of it
Thank You in Advance

This means that you have set up MY XPERIA on the phone in Security in the past so that the phone cannot be accessed with a different simcard. What you can do now is either put your old simcard in and then go into Settings>Security>Device Administrators and disable My Xperia. Otherwise try logging in to myxperia.sonymobile.com with your google account and see if you can deactivate it from there.

I can't seem to find a way to set my own photo/avatar. Anyone?

Log into the main account you have setup for your phone and set it there. You can also log into gtalk or gmail and chance the display picture, it'll pull it from there.
I changed the picture, and added my phone number into the details area.
What happens now?
Thanks JCopernicus, I did that and nothing happens even after sync. My display picture is still empty
Didn't work for me either...even added myself in my contacts
Click on your gray image and click on the second icon. Hit the menu button, then edit contact, then change the image.
Bet your phone number reports as 'Unknown' under the settings!
You need to program then number into your SIM before you can sort out the 'Me' picture.
EDIT: see here.
When I click the grey image it does not do anything.
That's because the phone doesn't know your own number, you have to program your SIM in another handset.

Does your Facebook profile contain your phone number? If so then it just matched it to the number on the SIM would be my guess.

I can't add my number using my phone. I have to take the sim card out and program the sim card to know its own number using another handset?
Yeah annoyingly enough.
Even then programming my own SIM in my spare WM phone has failed me, I need to find another one to try.
I just posted a solution using a Vio FoneMate SIM card reader that can be had for next to nothing and using DeKart Sim Softare Shareware.
I forgot the pattern i used to unlock the phone..Now its askng me to use the google acc. but not accepting the user id or password..Not able to get in to either recovery or download mode..Please tell me what i can do to unlock it...
Anyone?????

Try to put your gmail login info from all different gmail account you have.
Also try this. Take out battery>wait for 3 hours > but the battery back > press power button for 20 seconds (This method was listed by one guy on other forum).
One guy also mentioned this method.
AGAIN ITS the lamest thing you could ever think of, anyway heres how it goes,
1) Log in to your google account on your pc, the same account you registered for your phone
2) After logging in look at the top right corner of your inbox/email page, it would say your google username. Like say if you name is John, and you have a google id thats registered to your galaxy s as ,[email protected] Now this google id on the top right corner of the page would be displayed [email protected]
3) Type in the google id, thats visible on the right hand top corner of your page ([email protected]) into your galaxy s handset locked page, and type in the password.
TADA AND YOUR ON TO THE NEW SCREEN TELLING YOU TO PUT IN ANOTHER PATTERN.
Thanks

in the worse case scenario
you can always format (firmware flash) the phone and start from scratch
Nothing worked..What if take it to service center..Can they reset it some how???
They can - but you can do it without help --> recovery modue - wipe all data
problem: all your data is gone, but i think, if you forgot your pattern, you should suffer some pain
3 button mode is not working in my phone...If give it in service center can they be able to do it???
3 button mode is not woking in my phone.

this solution is with thanks to another person on another site...
You need a WiFi connection available for this to work!
1) Call your phone from a different phone.
2) Answer the call. While still connected...
3) Hit the BACK button on the phone (the arrow softkey)
4)This takes you to the home screen (it might take a few attempts, it depends on your timing. It took me 4 attempts)
5)Drag down your notifications bar and turn the WiFi on if it isn't already.
6)Close the notifications bar then hit the MENU softkey, select Settings then "Accounts and sync".
7)Click "Add Account" and select Google.
8)Sign up for a new google account as normal.
9)When the signup process is complete (and it must successfully create an account) you can hang up the call. (Do not sync the accounts)
10)Now when the phone asks you to unlock it using google credentials, use the ones from the account you just created. It will now ask you for a new security pattern, then for the same pattern again to verify.
11)Once you are back into the phone, turn off this "feature" until Google release a fix for the bug.
12)You can now delete the "false" google account which you just created from the phone. You should log into google and delete it from there too really.
13)Now reboot your phone. When the phone starts up and it still says "Phone Locked" don't panic!, Just drag the screen out of the way to unlock the phone, just like you did before you activated the pattern security.
Just to clarify some things...
Those quick fixes you people are talking about do not work. This just happened to me on a 1 day old Vibrant, and now I have to get yet another phone sent to me because it is soft-bricked. T-Mobile says it's a software glitch.
The reason it does this is because most people set up their account through the market app, and from what I've read, it does not store your account information on the phone if you do not set up your Google account using the GMail app. This is a critical issue, because in the T-Mobile store most reps will set up your Google account for you by using the Market app (and then everything else just prompts you to use that account).
If you have your phone charging and some toddler/preteen locks your account out, the only way to use your phone for anything other than receiving calls is to send the phone in and get it replaced. Too many Vibrants are hardware locked, so it is impossible to get into recovery mode on a majority of T-Mobile Vibrant phones (and many others, even international "types").
You will not be able to factory reset your phone.
You will not be able to use your Google Credentials to reset the lock.
You will not be able to get into download mode to reflash it to stock and get in.
You will not be able to do anything but make emergency calls and receive incoming calls.
You will not be able to get to the home screen by smashing home/menu keys and spamming Emergency Call button.
You will not be able to get the notification tray down.
And while the phone is telling you invalid user name and password, you will be able to log onto the internet using the same UN/PW and send emails to yourself, and watch the phone download them over its 3G connection.
The phone doesn't even attempt to connect to Google Servers to authenticate your information.
There are no fixes.
I've just spend hours upon hours trying every "fix" back to mid-2009.
Send your phone in, and get a replacement if this happens.
And never use Android's pattern lock - ever - again.
This bug has existed since Android 1.5. Google refuses to fix it.
Had the same issue. Ended up doing a hard reset, lost the boot screen and a few other things now don't work. Annoying.
Thank you N8ter

This actually worked for me after I had too many pattern attempts and I didn't sign up at google yet so couldn't unlock with google username and password.
Thanks alot!! That pattern lock had me panicking for a good while, especially since this was the first day I had this phone.
Hi I had setting to unlock the screen to draw a symbol. My brother drew the wrong character 30 times and the phone is locked. Now phone wants my google email and password. Every time its wrong i cant unlock my phone. Recovery reset doesn't help any idea for help? How i make hard reset wipe?
I got exactly the same problem today and got it solved with help from other member. You can read my thread "Need Help Badly : My Phone is LOCKED". For some reasons i can't posted the link.
This is the solution that works for me:

Dude in the stock contacts app follow these steps and you can save your conacts to sim and also view sim contacts
Hit Menu > More > Display Options > Sim > and tick All Contacts (Contacts in sim card will not be shown in Airplane Mode)
or you can also use an app called ContactsToSIM
Hit Thanks if I helped

I do not think so. As far as I know, the stock ROM is odexed and Cm is deodexed.
I've recently moved to a Mi A2 from a OnePlus 3. One of the good features of the Oneplus phone app was I could switch between sim cards before making a call then the app would remember that selection for next time. For example if I phoned my wife on my personal number it would remember that, but if I called my boss it would dial from my work provided sim card.
This feature doesn't seem to be in the Google phone app. Instead I get three opeions in the settings - use sim 1, use sim 2 or always ask. The problem with using always ask is that Android Auto refuses to make calls in my car as the software is expecting me to wake the screen and answer the question - sim 1 or 2?
Anyone know a solution to this? At the moment it is to select use sim 1 in the settings (I rarely dial out using my work number) so AA works, then toggle the setting if I need to use the work number. This is not ideal.
While I haven't tried one yet, I'm sure there are third party apps that let you do just that.

Google Dialer has that functionality, you have to set the calling sim for individual contacts by opening the said contact and long pressing the number you want a default sim on and then tap on 'set calling sim'
