'self-contact' with a wrong number?

[#1]

My Xperia neo v has created my 'self-contact' with a wrong number, any solutions?

Repaired with PC companion, the number is still wrong.

[Uliwooly]

that's odd, I thought the number was copied directly from the SIM card

try this

open the phonebook -> long press on Myself -> Edit contact

if it doesn't work backup your contacts then do a settings reset and/or delete all contacts

Make sure you backup everything

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

An easier way to install the Backup & Restore app

download the apk on your computer, send it to yourself through email, make sure you send it to your Gmail

now on your phone

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

wait for the email, once  you get the email, open it, and instead of downloading the attachment it will allow you to install it, voila, done

it doesn't work, because there is no option to edit!

[Uliwooly]

backup everything then

1) open the phonebook -> press menu -> delete them all

or

2) settings -> privacy -> settings reset

or

3) if it doesn't do it  then factory reset

Don't master reset your phone just yet. No need for that since I don't think it will help.

This is SIM related and if you cannot edit this you should first of all try with a different SIM card, the newer the better. Just put it in your phone and see if you can edit it or not.
