[Galaxy S II General] segunmichaelolu:
In the last few days i have find out that my imei has changed to a fake one with 0044600.......i took the device to samsung and i was told it will be repaired . But then this comes from updating firmware that is not officially released by samsung. The question is why is that the developers on this site never find a solution to this. For me personally i will never try any unreleased firmware from this site any more. I meat 3 people at samsung with the same problem. The device is too costly for a malware from unreleased firmware either custom or what ever to damage the device. You developers you are doing a great job but why not try and find a solution to this, because i love installing new firmware on my device. I even paid 10pound to a so called i could repair your imei but all was rubbish. Am only warning you guys to be carefull with anybody confronting you with i could repair your imei all is rubbish and fake. The last result is samsung if the warranty is still on.
[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
Mate, check your facts... it was you who screwed up your phone, you who cleared your IMEI, and you who made the mistake.

There are plenty of solutions for dealing with your IMEI (and the /efs folder), and that is to

back it up

. If you bothered to do even the smallest amount of reading before you recklessly started messing with your phone, you would have seen, countless times, people telling you to back up your /efs folder (which holds your IMEI, along with other important data).

Seriously, do not go accusing our hardworking devs, who spend countless hours of their free time working on projects for people, of f#<%ing up your device, when it was you!

...and get your terms right, it definitely wasn't "malware" that screwed things up.

Also, to all others who may end up reading this, sorry if it seems a little aggressive, but someone needed to say it.
[Galaxy S II General] capactus:
It doesn't sound agressive to me at all. You couldn't have said it better. Backing up efs folder is an important step in flashing.

I personaly never messed up the folder, but I back it up everytime to prevent horror storries like this.
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
This is a touchy topic and i both agree and disagree with the OP.

The facts are that the developers do work very hard to get us the various flavours of ROM.. Very much appreciated...

Also there is a disclamer that flash this at your own risk....read forums before you do anything...backup stuff before changing anything...

But i also agree with the OP that there is room for improvement for few developers to fix their code causing IMEI to get erased/overwritten...

I hope i made the point without causing any distress to anyone...
[Galaxy S II General] segunmichaelolu:
Mates have you heard the term freedom of speech. Am not accusing no one.
[Galaxy S II General] Freakgs:
And we have the right to tell you that YOU messed up.

Don't get me wrong, I do mistakes every day but I learned that I'm (and nobody else!) is responsible for my actions.

If you would have backed up your efs folder (as you were told) then you would have absolutely no problem. You could just restore the backup and your device would be working perfect once again.

You should also think why it works for so many other people if the software itself was the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] segunmichaelolu:
If you all will understand me from my point of view 1. am only warning people not to believe on anybody that says he could retrieve back lost imei. 2. i did back up my imei in three different folders but at end i could still not get back my original imei. 3 am not blaming the developers, am only saying they should try and improve on their firmware, . Sorry if i have offende anyone. I think it is my right to say what i think .
[Galaxy S II General] arn82:
And I think you jumped in thinking the water was only knee deep, but you got in and it was way over your head and you drowned. Should've learned how to swim first...I'm just sayin...
[Galaxy S II General] Freakgs:
As an attempt to have a look at this issue:

How did you create that efs backup and how exactly did you try to restore the efs folder?
[Galaxy S II General] segunmichaelolu:
Am not in the mood to answer all this queries and question, I dont know how much u paid for your device . But all what i know is i bought my device for almost 500pounds and i think it is worth it not to damage it and more the less i see no offend in it trying to bring people in the right direction and not make the same mistake like i did. Many people have installed firmware ever since this device came out and since this site was created without knowing they have fake imei and without backing up their imei in the first place. The backing up came later on when people start to realise they sort of lost their imei due to one reason or the other. You can only learn from other people mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] Nyssa1104:
@segunmichaelolu good day I hear your point but Im 100% behind most on here that any mod to your handset is down to you and any fault is down to you.

Look at it this way if all the codes for our handset or any handset come to that was made available to the developers you may still end up with mailfuction of your handset. There is a/are programs within this forum which will backup and restore said feathers. Everything you do is a risk warnings are posted look at it this way there may well be lets say 2000 people who have flashed their handset and out of those maybe 3 have run into problems. Fact there is always a chance things will and can go wrong..

Have a nice weekend,:)
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
The "guide to the Galaxy S2 and Android" which is stickied has all the info needed... other than the link to the method mentioned there, I think Nitrality has an EFS backup/restore function and there's also an "easy EFS backup/restore from your PC" type programme floating about...

There's always a risk something could go wrong when flashing however this can be mitigated by spending some time reading the info available. Sorry you had to find the hard way.

[Galaxy S II General] rasinell:
Use hellcats free tool from his thread or market (there are others but iv tried n tested this one). I do think its wierd that this can happen but hey, if you're ****ing with your phone you need to take all necessary precautions.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
From what I've seen so far, this can happen to you while on original, stock, unrooted, never-ever touched ROM as well.

Each time the phone boots, the nv_data.bin in the /efs folder (this file holds the IMEI among a lot of other stuff we have no clue about so far) is accessed and being written to!

IMHO that's the main reason for all those EFS corruptions, it's nothing that's caused by faulty custom ROMs or even mawlware.

/2ct
[Galaxy S II General] segunmichaelolu:
Am very sorry if i have offended anyone so far.
[Galaxy S II General] Freakgs:
Hmm sounds interesting mate. If that would happen on a stock rom, too there would be a very serious issue as those with stock roms (without root) won't have any way of backing it up, thus really killing their phone's cell and wifi capabilites.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Maybe that's why they added the custom binary counter in the S2 (warranty@EFSfail) :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
Interesting. .. I smell a conspiracy theory coming on ;)

Personally, I recommend the program, EFS Pro, which is absolutely fantastic :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliderocket22:
I'll elaborate:

I bought one of these back in May from Expansys-USA, and it was the Polish OXA version. I sold it last month and got the AT&T SGS II instead, and now I wish I had not done that. So now I'm looking for another one.

So does anyone know which version you get from retailers, or is it all random? I could buy from Expansys again, but I want to see if there are any better deals out there. But to my knowledge when I got rid of mine, it was the only one to receive the KI3 2.3.5 update at the time, so I'd prefer another OXA version, or at least one that is OEM unbranded.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Whats the difference? Just unbrand/debrand the machine by flashing stock ROM through Odin!

I don't use Odin very often, I like to keep most of my devices as close to stock as possible. But it's all good because I just acquired my old one back lol. No worries!

The recent camera is unatractive and doesn't even have an option to make your pictures widescreen. I've tried all settings. Also, I need the shutter noise fx off etc. Just needing advice on how to completely delete/remove the camera off of 1.2 away and get back to the stock camera. Much obvliged guys, thanks. This rom is running flawless on my X2 btw! +1
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
You will not get blur camera to work. He has modified the system too much and blur camera is dependent on alot of framework. Next eclipse release is going to have the bionic camera.
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
I'm having no problem using the Blur Camera. I'm using the one from the Liberty ROM, works fine. Only thing is that it doesn't work with the gallery.

Sent from my DROID X2 on Eclipse 1.2RC3
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yes blur camera WILL work.

Ho grab the one from the second.post in moto Ginger funk rom. U will need to go into the zip and push the apk to system/app. I don't think flashing it over eclipse will work.

U just won't be able to get to the aosp gallery from the preview picture button inside the camera app.
[Motorola Droid X2] prehistorical:
Thanks, asch and RyanThaDude!

Last time I tried to push the blur camera into eclipse, I got the same results as EvilTim and nothing worked. Countess adbs and chmods later all I got was nothin' or FCs....

So, I took the blur camera from LibertyX2-RC1.zip, dropped it into one of the numerous flash-a-theme zip via BSR files floating around, and it worked! No more adb pushing, su'ing, deleting. copying, etc. File attached.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I had the FC problems only when I tried to use the blur_camera.apk I saved/copied from stock rooted. I believe the problems came from the apk NOT being deodexed and I didn't bring the .odex file also.

Sounds like the same issue I had until pulling the deodexed one from the motogingerfunk add-on

And u could have prolly just pushed the apk to system/app change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] prehistorical:
Yes, you are right... did the push & chmod dance too many times in previous versions of eclipse and blur camera I had to try something new. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
pulled these APKs from liberty-31. they are the Blur camera and hacked preview gallery. This will give you the stock camera w/ ability to preview pics, but still keep one gallery,the 3d AOSP one, on your app tray. just unzip, copy to your /system/app/ folder and correct permissions. simple as that, and you get the best of both worlds.

attached in another topic, but here's the download link http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=773819&d=1320596773
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
Thanks for the zip, but gallery won't open with it from the camera... So I want to get rid of it and just use the Eclipse one. Now I have two, how do I remove a flashed zip? I can't simply uninstall it...

Reason for wanting a seam lined camera that boots quick is because I'm ALWAYS taking pictures and even have it load up from widgetlocker and need it to boot fast like the stock one (bought camera360 and vignette, amazing but too slow booting and takes forever to process the image). Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid X2] prehistorical:
I have both an having the blur camera alongside doesn't hurt AFAIK. I dragged both icons (eclipse camera and blur camera) to my homescreen but eventually deleted the eclipse icon and kept the blur camera icon. But if you really want to delete the blur apk from your system/app then you can use root explorer, or adb shell and mount -o remount rw /system then just delete blurcamera.apk manually.

[I must be one of the few who use QuickPic instead of Gallery.]

Or maybe the next version Bionic camera will be so awesome, no need to push blurcamera. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
What I would like to know is how fast u mean when u say it opens quick. My stock camera takes up to 5seconds or more. Feels like forever lol.

Or do u mean eclipse stock?
[Motorola Droid X2] SicMe:
For example if I witness something and need a picture FAST, I would launch my camera from my lock screen and it would be ready almost instantly. 5 seconds seems too slow, your ram free enough?

This isn't a problem in any eclipse rom, I just liked the eclipse cam "interface" on 1.1 better and it allowed me to adjust to widescreen pictures...

Coming from a G2 I gotta say the slide simply runs circle around the G2.

Just curious to know, will the mytouch 4G slide get ice cream sandwich update?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Officially maybe, unofficially (CM9) Yes. Don't hold your breath for expresso ICS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jsyi84:
I don't know if it necessarily runs circles around the g2. stock vs stock not much of a difference in my opinion. Obviously dev support for the g2 is light years ahead of the mt4gs for now since it's had a year head start BUT......physically and aesthetically, no contest..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] androidfeen809:
Well I meant spec wise which it does runs circles around it

Dual core 1.2 ghz processor, adreno 220

Smoothness is incompareable, everything is much smoother on the slide

however I do like the physical appearance of the G2 much more than the slide. And the keyboard on the G2 beats the slide for sure too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I'd say both phones are in a dead heat. The Vision has always been a Vanilla Android phone in the US, I have it clocked to 1.5Ghz (as opposed to 1.2 on the Doubleshot), A2EXT on the Vision. On the other hand, the Doubleshot is more stable thanks to the dual-core processor and more apps can safely run on it. The Doubleshot is my primary phone but I still put backups of my apps and files on my Vision.

I'm keeping both phones. I have too much invested in the G2 to throw it away just because I primarily use the MT4Gs.

Chainfire3d has been my best friend throughout all my prior phones :) I ran my phone at 1.8 ghz as my daily max on setcpu and never had problems. My battery life was always about 2 days. That's with pandora being on about 5 hours, about an hour of gameplay, 30 minutes of daily news each day. The g2 is a true Android trooper in my book
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
The keyboard is practically identical..... no appreciable difference.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The doubleshot processor is spec'd out at 1.5 on each core by qualcomm. Htc underclocked it to 1.2.

Even in the kernel source straight from htc, there are remnants of the 1.5 left over in code.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jsyi84:
Might sound like I'm bs'ing but true story....I had 3 replacement g2's all for the same reason..... Since the hinge mechanism is so loosey goosey while in my pocket walking around sometimes I can hear the two halves of the phone "clacking" against each other as the phone partially opens up while my leg would stride back and then slam together against my knee or quadriceps as I'd stride my leg forward Well this caused issues with the backlight on all my phones....hence having to send them all back for a replacement... Luckily Tmo warranted this and told me it was a common issue they were having with backlight failures...I obviously didn't mention the two halves of the phone slamming shut against each other while I'd walk or run... lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
I dunno I think the g2's larger buttons vs the smaller island style mytouch buttons are way way better. But spec wise and gaming wise yeah it murders the g2

The dell streak that i have cannot charge while off, even when connected to a PC the charge doesn't seem to go up, but when on it can slowly charge.

Aside from that when off sometimes I get the cable with and exclamation mark symbol what is that supposed to mean? (my charger is a HTC USB charger)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You should ALWAYS use the original charger if possible. Otherwise the replacement needs to match the specifications of the original. Using an adapter with incorrect voltage can damage or completely fry the unit. An adapter with insufficient amperage but correct voltage will damage the adapter and could cause damage to a device.
[Streak 5 Accessories] btvbtv:
AC charger should be capable of at least 1A.

In my experience the problem was in cable, not charger.

I use car charger 1A wich has nothing to do with Dell, it is ok with original cable.
[Streak 5 Accessories] TheManii:
any 1@ charger that's within the usb voltage specs should work fine, if it strays too far because it's low quality you risk damaging it (this is true for ANY usb charger)

dell ships 2A @5.9v chargers too, so i would expect the streak to take at least up to that much though
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
The usb ports on your PC put out less than half the power the Streak needs to charge properly but as said above any 1A plus charger should work fine. I use one meant for an iPad @ 2.1A, one meant for a HP Touchpad at 2A and a generic 1A charger all work fine though the Streak grumps about the generic one it still charges fine.

if i stick said sim card in my A501. i can text like crazy and with a dailer MAKE CALLS but low and behold i have no DATA.. go figure so i checked my APNs. honeycomb asks all the wrong questions and doesn't have CLUE on how to work apn data from my phone.. so i tried getting apn manager.. downloaded it on my phone copied the apk to the tab and installed it.. AWESOME POSSUM.. i have a full range of APN setting but still no go i am at a loss :( does att have a way to block device ID's from stuff?

The vibrating is very random and tje vibrating pattern is as if there was an incoming call. Yet, nothing.

I can't find any strange apps causing this (have checked with Privacy inspector and system tuner pro) also i've checked all internet sockets for strange connections (malicious apps may've caused, but wasn't, checked with quick info rpd)
