[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
I don't think it would be as easy as just hexediting the IMEI into the relevant location in the image (or at least, I hope it isn't). Remember that the IMEI is used to uniquely identify phones on the cell network so that it can be blocked if the phone is reported as stolen. For this reason it's not supposed to be easy to change, and it's illegal in some places to do it.

I know that this would be intended to be used to restore the IMEI, but it could just as easily be used to change the IMEI for stolen phones.

Forcing the response from the Java call won't do anything - it would only be used to show the number in android, and not by the hardware.

Send your phone back under warranty.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] freeko2:
But in my case I want to restore it not change it.. so its my right. And because some may miss use it I will not reveal how.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mistic-tooth:
We do not mind to send the warranty, but it will not take as imei = 0
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] turbo.exe:
Of course, it would be the simpliest way to solve the problem, but in any warranty there is a clause that warranty becomes invalid if IMEI has been changed :( We would not mind the problem and would just send our phones to warranty, but... it has become invalid, so now we need to have our IMEIs restored...

You've missunderstood me. The idea is to reveal an IMEI decryption algorythm by looking through the getDeviceId() functions body. I expect to see there something like this (func names are not real):

function getDeviceId()
{
$imei = fread(0x12345678); //some code to reveal where IMEI is stored
$imei_num = decrypt_sha1($imei, $key_to_decrypt); //some code to reveal the decryption key and method
return $imei_num;
}

Something like this may help us to write some other code to restore our broken IMEIs and warrantys, for example:

function restoreDeviceId($imei_to_restore)
{
$imei_encrypted = encrypt_sha1($imei_to_restore, $key_to_decrypt); //here we use an encryption key we discovered in prev. step
if(fwrite(0x12345678, $imei_encrypted)) return true; //here we use the mem adress we discovered in prev. step
return false;
}

Of course, I don't expect this to be that easy as in examples above, but I'm ready to digg :)

PS: i've just sent an email to the Huawei support with problem description. hope, they can help...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
Kindly let me know if they reply positive ,need to restore mine too.....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
Hello ppl...

I have the same problem, IMEI = 0.

I'm pretty sure that the IMEI was not in any way changed, since I can register on my network.... and supposedely that is not possible with an IMEI nulled.

By the way, I was with CM7 and also formated the SD Card within android system, guessing that could be the reason for that.

Related or not, I started having troubles with non working wifi and SD Card with 2.3 based roms... with original roms or FLB (2.2.2) system works fine.

It would be very helpfull to some of us if one of the Devs could take a look at this problem.

Thank you all!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
stockwell, genokolar, dzo...

Can you help us ?!?!?! PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I miss my 2.3 roms :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GarryIV:
My X5 also had nulled IMEI.

Also it had WI-FI MAC address changed to new value and SD-card problems (unknown hardware on my PC and recognized as CD-drive).

Service center guy said that it all hardware issues and main-board to be replaced. So it's covered by warranty (despite the fact that I admitted that I had rooted the phone and had installed custom ROM).

Today a was notified that the phone was fixed. I'll get it back tomorrow. :)

I'm from ex-USSR too (Moscow).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
Garry,

If problema was hardware ir wouldnt work also with 2.2.2 roms... And in fact they work perfect.

Problem is 2.3 related... Lwts see when huawei gives official update. They refer the delay is related with... Guess? WIFI!

:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suschmania:
Does it going on here?

My IMEI = 0, too :(

In Germany (homenetwork vodafone) I have no problems to login to the network, having phone calls etc.

Now I'm in Sweden and I can't login to any network here. Or, I am logged in not correctly 'cause I see the signal is changing, but I can only do emergency calls. In the status the network provider is unknown.

Today I was in Kopenhagen, Denmark and there I was able to login to TDC A/S and had a phone call - I received SMS...as usual :)

So what is that? -.-
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GarryIV:
Yes stock ROM (2.2) was almost working (some issues with USB access from PC). Custom ROMs (2.3) and most other of Huawei ROMs (2.2) all had broken WIFI and PC USB access. It's not just 2.3 issue it looks for me like different appearances of one bug. I think it happened because of some hardware issue.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ufukyayla:
Does ToolBox5iromV1.0.4.2.apk work?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] izzoe:
I've read about it but google translate is giving me a headache.. But i think the Chinese community have tool to backup IMEI n restoring them..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
The question about this is that you had to have made backup before... wich doesn't happend... most users don't even noticed their IMEI is now 0.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akiNgHK:
me too，IMEI is 0
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rexothek:
So will this problem be a problem without any solution forever??? :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
in theory, if we could edit backup img to our original imei... solution would be simple...

Justa need the help of some devs or programmers to be able to edit that file. ;-)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcjr81:
So I have a couple light scratches on my screen. No more then ½ inch long. Is there a known home remedy to remove them?
[Galaxy S II General] @MARK:
On my new SII there would appear to be a black sticker on the home button.

Now I haven't tried too hard to remove it but it doesn't seem to want to come off and I would expect if it was part of the packaging, it would come off quite easily.

So the question is firstly is it a sticker and if so, is it supposed to be there or should it be removed?
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
Attaching pictures will help.
[Galaxy S II General] -NRG-:
Haha, this is a transparant sticker. Just to prevent scratches, like the protector on the phone when it's new.

It's indeed pretty difficult to remove, but it's possible and doesn't change anything.

I removed by going over the corner with my nail a couple of times.
[Galaxy S II General] tietherope:
I kept mine on. I can hardly ever tell it's there.
[Galaxy S II General] tyj82:
mine come off and i find hard to put a replacement.
[Galaxy S II General] LuffyPSP:
i noticed its there after 2 months owning my S2. it was peeled off a bit few days ago and i removed it. it felt different and better for me. hehe~~ :D
[Galaxy S II General] 11768:
I remove it from the first day I bought my phone. Pressing the home button feel much better afterwards...
[Galaxy S II General] CerebroJD:
I had mine randomly pop off one day about two months after I got it as well. Dropped my phone in a wierd way, managed to catch it by grabbing right on the button, and it slid a little off. Brief moment of panic, thinking I had wrecked something!

Hello,

Im fairly new here, used to own a Samsung Galaxy Portal and I got an SGS2 last friday :D. Excellent device and everything but one thing thats wrong, Its on T-Mobile. Everyone must agree with me that T-Mobile are fairly late with their branded firmware, updates and leave the handset users at a disadvantage. As a matter of fact, I don't know anyone who has actually recieved a T-Mobile Branded Firmware update thus far for any android device, whats the crack here? anyone have any insight on this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattP79:
It is entirely possible to update the firmware, root and remove the network lock on your phone using the various threads on those topics. I am using XWKI4 on this SGSII which is now a generic XEU unit rather than TMU.

I saw some decent kickstand cases for the SGS2 with AT&T, but I have not been able to find any yet with the TMO version. Please let me know if you find any out there specially made for the TMO SGS2!

I'm having major kickstand withdrawals since upgrading from my EVO 4G.

Oh and I'm looking for a landscape kickstand, not the portrait kickstand found on the Body Glove case in the TMO stores.

Thank you for the pictures. Can you post one of the front of the case? I want to see how much of the bezel it covers and if it gets close to the edges of the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bkaltec:
The only thing i dont like about it is that the top and bottom arent covered.

The inside has a felt material to protect the phone from the case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dsmwookie:
I tried it on my phone and it felt incredibly cheap, tacky color/design, and lack of real protection. If it fits your needs then awesome. For me I am kinda rough on things and like protection all around. I can appreciate the usefulness of a kickstand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I also would like a little more protection. It seems like most of the kickstand cases are hard plastic, but I at least want a gel/silicone insert something like the otterbox commuter often has.

Hopefully they start actually releasing some good cases for this phone soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Case-Mate has them. Depending on what carrier you are on some are available now. The T-Mobile one is coming soon.

Oh, the black and white ones don't look too bad at all. Price is a little high, but this is very close to what I'm looking for. I really like the grippy edges. I'm hoping that a case will make my power and volume buttons a bit harder to push on accident (which I am constantly doing).

Casemate is still taking forever to get their T-Mobile cases out, even after some rumors that they were coming a couple weeks ago. http://www.case-mate.com/pulse/samsung-carriers.asp . Looks like if it does come out, they will be asking $35.00 (same as Sprint and International price).

Trident said they were going to do their Kraken kickstand case for the TMO SGS2, but then when it came time to ship cases, they ended up only shipping the Aegis case (no kickstand) (http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-(T%2dMobile)/ - $29.95).

But it does look like Seidio has finally shipped a kickstand case, http://www.seidioonline.com/t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s-II-active-case-black-p/csk3ssg2tk-bk.htm . There is a review for the case here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336684 . Priced at $34.95. There is a 15% off promo code for this case, "Winter11".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I've placed my order for the Sapphire and Amethyst ACTIVE cases from Seidio. There is one review in the linked thread with pictures and then only one other user who made some general comments.

There are no reviews yet on Amazon, but the cases are listed there for the same price (no promo code). Amazon has the black in stock and the others shipping in 2-3 weeks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
I have the Seidio Active, switching from Ballistic. There is a big difference in feeling, mostly due to the Ballistic being so big and harder to press the buttons. I needed something with a belt clip, and I've gone with the Active series for my last 2 phones (HTC Sensation, LG G2x). It's a great combo all in all.

Anyone else notice that after the GB update you've seemed to have lost the 'back' function for the stock browser?

If you're using the stock browser and try to cycle back through pages by hitting the back arrow key, it now takes you to your home screen - don't seem to be able to cycle back through pages.

EDIT: Only seems to occur in certain sites.
[LG Revolution] thesavo:
have you tried this with dolphin browser or any other browser?
[LG Revolution] jeff_roey:
Haven't installed any other browser. I fooled around a bit after starting this thread and quickly realized that for me, the page back not working was only really occurring while I was browsing here at xda on the web (I've since DL'd the app).

All other pages that I've bookmarked and frequently browse seemed to back up just fine. I assumed it was a function of how this and maybe other forums handled moving within a thread that the stock browser wasn't picking up on - kind of like different pages within a thread look like the same page.

Didn't give it any additional though until today when I noticed someone had reported the same problem in one of the ROM development threads.

For me, it's sort of become a non-issue.
[LG Revolution] gigem01:

That's just a link to another thread in Off Topic, but it has the link/video showing Nokia Sleeping Screen.

I used to own a Nokia C6-01 with this feature and let me tell you - it was NICE! Since we don't have an LED and apparently there's issues with BLN and wakelocks maybe this could be implemented instead. Think about it.. our screen is a bunch of LEDs - let's utilize it!! The NSS would shut off when the phone was in your pocket as well - but as soon as I put the device on a table it would appear - very slick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] llescaflownell:
This sounds like a great idea, but I would think it would be a battery drainer. I have used NoLED for a bit, and noticed it kills my battery; forgive me if I'm wrong, but they seem to be similar.

If a dev could somehow implement something similar to Nokia's sleep screen while preserving battery life, I would not mind paying for this at all!
