RE: iPhone 5 is showing wrong carrier name

My iPhone 5 is showing wrong carrier name (near signal bars and also in the settings) even after turning off multiple times and even after changing carrier settings from automatic to manual and Vice Versa. My device is on iOS 7.0.4. I've tried replacing the simcard but still it is showing wrong carrier name. My service provider told me that I'm using the correct signals. I've purchased this device whilst I was in the UK with Vodafone as the carrier but the device has been unlocked to network. I've now moved to India and I'm using AIRTEL but the carrier name is displayed as VODAFONE IN.

I've moved from Hyderabad to Bangalore and my phone started to show the correct carrier name, as soon as I entered to Karnataka cirlce from A.P. circle(I was on roaming). I think it's Airtel that relays the name as such in Hyd(A.P.) and it's nothing to do with the device. So, my problem is solved.
Hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.

    My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.
    It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
    Please help, this is frustrating.

    Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
    Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.

    I on't understand your question, even though you repeated it 4 times. Where doesn't the carrier name appear? Does the phone work?

  • Iphone 4 showing wrong IP address for home wireless

    2 days ago we reset our home wireless password and updated our devices (ipad, laptop, and two cell phones). Now my iphone 4 will no longer connet to the wireless. It accepts the new password to join the network but it never connects. It is showing wrong IP address. How can I change it to the correct IP ? Tried hard rest, forget network, and renew lease all trying to get it to automatically update the info. Out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
    Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
    I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
    I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
    If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

  • Custom Prompt sometimes shows wrong Machine Name

    I set up a custom command prompt in my .bash_profile to show the machine name. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    The command:
    export PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]\h \W\$ \[\033[0m\]'
    Sometimes it shows
    lud610wxp-sales rfreedman$
    Sometimes it shows
    qaimac rfreedman$
    This is correct
    I see the same behavior on other systems although the wrong machine name is different.

    If you're on a network, the hostname for the prompt is set by performing a reverse DNS lookup of your IP address. Often an old entry will be listed in the reverse DNS table before the current one, and its name will be used instead of the correct one. You can manually edit /etc/hostconfig if this bothers you, but it generally does not affect anything because forward DNS queries will be correct.

  • Mail.app Is Showing Wrong "From" Name

    I'm having a heck of a time with Mail.app.
    The latest bug is that in the list of incoming mail, it occasionally shows the wrong From name. When I open it up, it shows the correct name.
    Any ideas?
    And I still can't get it to send mail from the proper email address. I has one it likes, and will not deviate.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Wlc monitor client detail show wrong interface name

    Hi,
    Do anyone know why I see the wrong interface name when looking at the client details?
    In the shown example the interface name should have been id017_publikunm not id161_admin
    The vlan nunmer 2317 and IP address 10.17.237.x is correct for id017_publikum.
    I hope some one out there can help.
    Aksel,

    I know its an old post but I encountered the same problem recently. What I did was I went to the same client properties and clicked on the remove button. It removed the association and when I filtered for the same client mac address I could see it has connected to the correct interface. So it was getting the correct IP Address also.............problem solved :)

  • Why does iphone 5C app updates show wrong login name?

    When I go to the app store to update apps, a name I've never seen before comes up as the login. It's disturbing. Is this a security risk?

    You've got an app that is owned by another ID. If this was warez, then yeah there would be a security risk there.
    What's the app and what's the Apple ID?

  • Iphone 6 showing wrong storage?!

    hello everyone, this problem began yesterday after synching.
    I Have a iPhone 6 128gb.
    when looking at my storage, I have used 49gb for music, and around 5BG for photos/apps/videos.  So, you can say in total I have consumed around 54gb, which should leave me with a healthy 60gb or so.
    my phone is saying I only have 9gb left?!
    IN iTunes the bar along the bottom which shows a breakdown of your storage shows over 50gb being used by 'other', when this is definitely not the case!!
    does anyone have any advise of what I can do?
    thanks!

    I've thought about ignoring the issue on iTunes, but on my phone General usage/storage says i only have 9gb left, and this is definitely incorrect.

  • New iPhone 5 shows wrong phone # on Activation screen

    Ordered a new iPhone 5 from Apple's online store. Received it yesterday. Opened it this morning. On the "Activation -> Confirm your phone number" screen, the number shown is incorrect. The screen instructs the user to call "800-MY-IPHONE" if the device's phone number is incorrect. There's no one at that phone number today. Offices are closed for the holiday.
    Does anyone know if there's something I can do to finish activating the new phone today? Or am I going to have to wait till tomorrow? Also: Am I correct in thinking that I'll probably need to obtain a different SIM card before I can use it?

    I doubt it's a hardware issue.  One thing I've noticed is your iPhone 5 is loaded with radios, and I think it's best to shut off those you're not using at the moment (e.g., Bluetooth).
    The other thought I have is to get the app called "Mark the Spot" if you don't have it.  It's a free app from AT&T you can use to notify them of exactly where you have specific issues with their coverage, and just what those issues are.
    I also have an iPhone 5 and notice different coverages showing up from previous iPhones, and that motivates my response.

  • Terminal shows wrong computer name

    When I launch Terminal the name before the prompt is MacMini, which is the name of another computer on the network. How do I fix it?

    Pedantically and FWIW, IP routers are entirely unrelated to DNS. Your router is probably a gateway of some sort, and probably includes other functions beyond routing; probably a firewall and a DHCP server. (There are pure routers around.)
    I'd expect you are running NAT and DHCP here.
    And if that is the case, then I'd expect to see a domain name (one that is purely and carefully bogus, or preferably one that you have registered) set on the DHCP server, and provided to the clients via DHCP. I'd also expect to see two DNS servers referenced within the DHCP server configuration, your existing 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
    Picking a bogus domain is far harder than many folks realize; best to have a real and registered one, or a subdomain of a real and registered one.
