Worked perfectly on my Xperia Z. Had an app from Play Store which could change the number without root and changing anything on system but that didn't work anymore. Now my number is shown again :D

yes i find debug log i post it here>...
i add zip plz extract it.
I've checked the log and there are no errors concerning this app. What I see is that the number is being written (at one time it says that actual number is correct) but something is changing it back to null. Are you writing your actual number? I can only think that your operator is telling your phone to make phone number null.

Very nice work!! i was searching for something similar and i found your app!

this is really usefull if you do Mobile Number Portability from an operator to another, in the new SIM it's probably a temporary number stored in (or maybe empty field), with this you can write in your REAL number so many apps (like Whatsapp or Hangout) can read it correctly!

my case, i switched from Vodafone to TIM, old number was a 347xxx but when they changed my old Vodafone SIM with a new TIM SIM the phone recognized a 339xxx number.. with this app i rewrote back my 347xxx on the new SIM and it went better than excepted!

Thanks a lot man!

Not sure if anyone else was having trouble with this, i was. Downloaded the source and fixed one bug which happens when the user of the applications sim card has no # at all. Marked as "UNKNOWN" in Settings/About/Status/Phone Number. This is why i wanted this app to add my number to my sim card. The fix was simple.

if(!phone.isEmpty() && !phone.trim().equals("")) {

to

if(phone!=null && !phone.isEmpty() && !phone.trim().equals("")) {

Awesome work by the developer, after this little change application worked perfectly. APK attached for anyone interested.

You're right, it's not usual, but it can return null. I'll correct it tomorrow and then I'll ask you to remove your version.

As a side note, it's a little worrying to see comments like this in Android source: "get it each time because that process crashes a lot".

Of course, just give the word and ill take it down.

:|, as big and as fast as android is grown its sadly not that surprising, but i agree it is worry-some. If i may what code/process are you referring to?
