Anyone port their number from AT&T? - Nexus One General

I received my N1 this afternoon and it is taking forever for the number port to take affect. When I activated it on the google site, it said my number was submitted for porting and to check back later for updates. About 30 minutes later it said my number has been ported and should begin to work within 24 hours.
The last I ported a number from one carrier to another, it only took a couple of minutes.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Error Code 78

I started getting an error code on my mogul today every time I try to connect to the internet. I have never gotten it before and have not found any answer anywhere on the net. I am currently on hold with Sprint customer service and have been for 1.5 hours now.
Anyone know what this "error code 78" means?
so after about 4 hours on the phone with Sprint tech support, lost count of the transfers... Sprint gave up and did not have an explanation. About 30 minutes later the EVDO service started working again. About 2 hours later I got a call from the next level tech, I explained that it was working and thanked him to which he responded, "Well I don't think we did anything, but have a great day..."
Moral of the story, if you see this error code, just wait it out.

Texts coming in but time is 3 hours late

stock ROM.
i'm getting texts just fine but randomly it will decide to time stamp them 3 hours earlier, so if i have a bunch of texts i have to scroll through them all until i find the new one that it thinks was sent 3 hours ago. it is pretty annoying. anyone know how to fix this? soft reset didn't do anything.
it's often the networks fault when sms's are delay'd
i would try putting the sim in another phone for testing
same here
since yesterday ive been getting random texts with the timestamp 3 hrs earlier, and i also have to scroll thru to find it. my computer did something to the phone yesterday and basically deleted anything synced and then resynced. its been doing this ever since.
weird that we would get this same problem at the same time.
this is really annoying
Not to beat the horse but i've been having the same problem since this morning. Everything was fine all day and night yesterday. I've received about 8 texts or so since 8am EST this morning (it's now 2:20pm EST) and about 3 of the texts have had the problem. Pretty annoying. Assuming it's the network like someone previously suggested.
the person said the network was delivering them late. that has happened before too, but these are being delivered on time, but the time stamp is 3 hours before the text was sent. since 3 of us had the same problem starting yesterday or around then, it must have something to do with the network, even though the messages are being delivered on time, it is just the time stamp that is wrong.
weird.
yeah i thought it was something wrong with my particular phone but now since all three of us are having issues i feel "better".
hopefully t-mobile fixes this soon, its really annoying **crosses fingers**
Yeah, and the wierd thing is that it seems like it's only happening with specific contacts too. Looks like it's happening with only two people out of the 7 people that have texted me today.
yeah it's weird, but only 2 people have texted me today, and only one of them messed up, while both contacts messed up yesterday
this has also been happening to me, what phone service do you guys have, i have tmobile
I just thought my phone took a crap. but with the above posts I guess it was the network. mms are always late but this is a first for sms. tmobile needs serious improvement on their network issues
Maybe the Network Wizard will fix the problem? Just thought I'd throw that in there.
well my network settings are set the way tmobile set them, so i don't think it's anything we can fix on our end. it is them.
Im having the same problem since about yesturday, and my carrier is t-mobile,
so I think it has something to do with them.
Not to beat that already dead horse, but just to reiterate, I too have t-mobile and I have been receiving text exactly 3 hours late. It is very annoying and I am calling t-mobile ATM. Thanks for letting me know it isnt just me.
tell us what they say. last night it was nuts for me. i would get a text with the proper time stamp, and then one 3 hours earlier (but you know, it was actually received at the the present) and then one from the same person that would have an accurate time stamp

They told me that it was "only your issue and no one else in your area has complained about it." They offered to send me a new sim card but it seems like it must be a network issue and not a hardware one because we are all experiencing the same thing. Could it only be modded phones? I changed the rom on mine, been meaning to for a while. I cant say if it has happened again cause I havent gotten a message :-X
I live on the Northeats and was previously running Touch-IT 5.0.
you should have told them that there are reports on the internet of people having the same issues.
i'm in the southeast with the newest stock ROM. so it is definitely a network thing, not hardware or modded issues.
i'd call myself but i'm not the account holder and they make you give all these account numbers SSN and crap
well in addition to the time stamp being wrong now my sms are coming in 24 hrs late. I am afraid to ask whats next.
wow. mine are just 3 hour late timestamps. what is going on here?
I have also been getting delayed texts... sometimes like 10 minutes but can be up to like 9 hours late. I live in Seattle, WA

harassing phone calls blocked numbers

before i start i guess i should say that i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but since most of the HTC dream users are t-mo customers i wanna know if this has happened to anyone else or if there is a way to stop this from happening.
i got my phone and not a few days later i started to receive calls from verizon wireless asking to talk to a certain person and i repeatedly told them that i did not know this person and i wanted to be removed from their calling list. i called t-mobile about the issue as well as verizon and no one had any help and they all said that my number was not in their database as a valid number and that i was not receiving the calls. t-mo actually told me that the signals were getting crossed in the air and somehow ending up at my phone rather than the intended person's phone. after several calls to t-mo and verizon and altell(and wasting over 300 of my minutes) i was told that my number had been removed and i would not recieve the calls again, but if i did t-mo offered to change my number. i didn't want to change my number since i have had to change it before because of a crazy ex, so i decided to wait it out. nearly a month went by and i started recieving the calls again so i got my number changed two nights ago.
ten minutes after i got my number changed i started recieving blocked calls from someone asking to talk to someone completely different than before, this was a company and i know this because it was always a different person asking to talk to the same person. i was wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if there is an app for android similar to callfirewall on WM that would allow me to blocked all unknown numbers. or even better i would like to get the number that is calling me and i would prefer to do it without the police(i don't get along well with them).
quite frankly i would like to be able to forward all calls from the unknown number right back to the same number since they are likely to have different lines and then i don't have to deal with the number calling me anymore. if anyone has any idea how to get the number please let me know, i asked t-mobile and they refused to release the number to me and said that they had no way of getting the number for me.
thanks in advance for your help.
T-Mobile do re-issue numbers fairly quickly, atleast they do in the UK... I changed my number a little while back, less than a fortnight later someone spoke to me saying they'd tried to contact me but got someone else...
I don't think it is possible to do any form of subscriber lookup with software as the number is not available at point of contact with the handset. In the UK reverse lookup and subscriber lookup isn't possible at all for the average Joe, but not sure on the laws within the States...
Re aborting "unknown caller" calls, there must be a developer out there that can knock something up, as the capabilities are on the handset for known numbers by editing the contact and ticking the send to answerphone...
If you do get something, please post the details on here, as I would like to have the option to refuse with-held and unknown callers also.
Cheers!

TMobile will not help you with this. I'm sorry but that's the case. The only thing they can do for you is, as you already mentioned, change your number.
Today is your lucky day:
Google "TrapCall" There is a free trial for their premium services which will not only tell you what blocked number is calling, but also release all the billing information/address for that blocked number. You will never be harassed again! I use it all the time! Let us know what you find out!
TrapCall looks impressive, if only it were possible and legal to use in the UK! lol

Ah, I'm not too sure about that... I live in the US so it works fine here.
As I said, I highly recommend it for people living in the US, try it out on your friends, and see how it works.
when i attempted trapcall, i did the programming my phone step and it gave me an error, something about an unexpected response from the network, or something about not being able to set up call forwarding. i assumed it was something i did wrong and didn't work too much on it last night, but i'm gonna give it a second look today to see

Yeah, it can definately be a little difficult to set up at first.. just have it forward to the number they give you. I actually did it on my ATT phone I had. When I bought an ADP1 and put the SIM card in there. It still kept the data. This is probably something stored on the SIM card.
i did finally get it set up, hopefully they call soon so i can forward them to another person that's harassing me, harrass them both by making them call eachother. fun for me

[Q] Call log displaying incorrect times

So this is a very minor issue (I think?). Anyways, the call log on my Nexus 4 displays incorrect times. I am running stock 4.2.2, unrooted. (I had it rooted and unlocked, but I relocked/rooted it)
So what I mean is if I call someone the call log will say I called them we'll say 10 seconds ago once the call ends. If I go back into the call log a couple minutes later it will still say I called the person 10 seconds ago. If I make another call it'll update the call log. This isn't really a big deal, but it's still kind of odd. I'm wondering if this is a normal issue perhaps? When I was running CM10 on my old Galaxy S2 it did the same thing.
Thanks for the help guys.

How long does it take to activate?

FAiled the first time, rebooted, still sitting on activation screen after about 10 minutes. I turned off old phone prior to attempting activation.
Shouldn't take long. Keep in mind that VZW just started shipping these so if there are any hiccups they could stack up quickly.
I would give them a call.
Hey
Just a question
Can you try posting a screenshot of what you see here?
It would be great to see what this activation screen looks like
Thanks!
I had the same issue. Verizon told me it was because I was coming from a 3g device. I went to the store and they activated it for me. You may be able to call them. I just happen to be near a store.
