I read in one of the threads that if you remove the battery for 10 mins and put it back the IMEI is restored
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelmotes:
I think sptbox flash of test firmware with imei factory mode reset might work. Sometimes this will brick the device, but it can be unbricked through usb using omap4440 driver.

Fixed by sending in for warranty

Just an update...I was having all of these symptoms...unknown IMEI, Baseband, etc...basically gave me an expensive media player for a few months while waiting for a fix on XDA. After no update I decided to call up Samsung and after talking to 3 different technicians, I was able to send it in. Just a note for anyone about to do the same, they will try very hard to blame it on the carrier/SIM card, so save yourself some trouble and just say you already went to the physical store of your carrier (calling isn't enough)and they couldn't get it working. Once you get past that, they will email you a printable 2-day UPS shipping label so you can ship it to them for free. It took 2 weeks from the time I called to having a working phone back in my hands.

This was their fix:

Problem found:

NO PCS SERVICE

Solution:

REPLACED PBA

After a quick search I found that the PBA is the motherboard, so it's definitely a hardware issue. Hope you guys are still under warranty because I've heard this is ~$200 to fix otherwise.

Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kallac:
I just want to share that I have the same problem, but I have a generic IMEI ... I'm very sab, also I bought the phone to a third person so no warranty, and worst of all, I'm not in the US (I'm in Perú).

This is my case --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504753 where can I buy a PBA (Motherboard) And how much is it?.

Anyway, I use the bad (?) Gnex for doing videotutorials of Android in Spanish :D!

If someone now who to fix it, let us know.

Best regards from Perú.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeaconBoogie:
My wife's Nexus started to act up here this morning... When she tries to make calls, the following condition exists:

1. No sound from earpiece.

2. Remote callee hears no sound from the microphone.

However, when she activates speakerphone, she can hear the remote party and the internal microphone turns back on.

When she uses a wired headset, she can hear the remote party and the headset's microphone picks up audio and properly disables the internal microphone.

I've wiped Dalvik/cache. No dice. Any ideas?

Update: Also, the Music player -- when played without any headphones attached -- has no sound, not even via the speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeaconBoogie:
Update: Re-flashing the ROM did not help. WTF is wrong with this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeaconBoogie:
Update: Tried an entirely different ROM this time.. same issue.

ALSO... using the Music player (or Winamp) will NOT playback any media through the speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeaconBoogie:
Update: Problem disappeared literally overnight!

But now it's happening with the haptic feedback... The vibration works when the phone is powered on, and when the power button is pressed, but not for anything else. The correct checkboxes are selected in Settings/Sound.

What the eff is going on with this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yaqoot:
you can try this

Hi,Iam using the Samsung Galaxy nexus and i had the same problem....just out of the blue!

But i found a fix: I installed an app SoundAbout (David Woods) from Google play store. It seems to have resolved the problem,and now evrythings working fine. will keep you all posted in case of any new issues/development

hope it works out fine u too

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wy2sl0:
Hi everyone. I recently got a T989 from Telus, to which I used an Ebay unlocked. Now first things first....I have never had my email account or any account hacked. My computers in my home are virus free, so I have eliminated them. Within a week of using my T989 with Mobilicity, my gmail account (which my phone knows the password to) was hacked and logged in by someone in the U.S (Gmail shows IP logins) and they spammed my entire contact list. Now I am trying to think of ways this could have happened, but I honestly think the phone may have a keylogger or something on it.

Here are the steps they had me carry out (and it did unlock the phone immediately).

Download and install necessary files

http://www.UnlockClient.com/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver.exe

http://www.UnlockClient.com/dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe

Very simple procedure:

1. Enter your paypal email or start in demo mode

2. Type *#7284# and select USB - Modem

3. Type *#9090# and select [1] USB

4. Exit service menu and reboot the phone

5. Once phone rebooted connect the phone and computer

6. Wait until all drivers are installed

7. Click "Unlock" button

8. Enter 00000000

Here is the auction for this unlock I got. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/280852210909?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Is there anything there that I should worry about? Or is there any possibility they have someone routed everything I do on my phone through them? I am seriously worried about my online banking information and such. Thank you very much in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tazb:
not sure if serious?

- taz b.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wy2sl0:
Why wouldn't I be serious? Isn't this a legitimate conclusion? I don't have a lot of posts but I have been lurking for years. I am serious however.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
Unlocking phone is really a matter of entering a simple code in one step. All your steps there including entering your PayPal account, connecting USB?? and installing drivers are unneccesary and sketchy at best.

I've seen some reputable phone unlocking sites but definitely never seen something like that from eBay.

If I were you I would try a darkside full wipe and go back to whatever was at a safe state before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wy2sl0:
Oh I have wiped many times. The problem is that I don't think any of that wipe stuff will go back to factory settings in those *# menus or for the modem settings etc.

I know an unlock code is all that is needed, but I bought from a website that couldn't find the code. This one offered and instant unlock by a program (like the ones shops use) to unlock.

I am also not dumb, the paypal account doesn't require a password or anything it is just a way to identify your keys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
And did you test your phone with a different sim card? Everything is functional?

As far as I know, the legitimate way and the only way to unlock a phone is through the codes generated by the datebase. All the reputable sites that unlock phones that I know of, all use codes to unlock. When I had bought my telus g2sx the store unlocked it using the code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AaronPauley:
Something like a keylogger would be app level, not modem info or hardware level. Also, something transmitting every keystroke would use a LOT of data and battery.

First thing I would do, personally, is check my battery stats to see if any app was using a suspicious amount of battery.

In my opinion, it wouldn't make sense for a company who already got your money for an unlock service to install a key logger to spam your Gmail contacts.

Just my two cents. It would take a tremendous amount of technology to track everyone who used the service. Not to mention man hours in sifting through collected data.

Check the battery stats. Settings>About Phone>Battery Use.

Hope this helps in any way. Hacked accounts are always a bummer man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Haxel:
Wierd, I used that site a week or two ago and nothing like that happened to me. Makes me worried now.

I didn't use ebay though, I did it directly from the site. You could always re-flash your phone to stock then update it, that would eliminate any possibility of odd software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joe USer:
In step 1, did you run a program on your computer, on the phone or both?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
If you want your phone as clean as possible then do this in recovery

go to mounts and storage format /data format /system format /cache format/emmc. Then flash the super wipe followed by the rom but remember doing it this way deletes everything from your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
probably had nothing to do with the unlock, but more likely you had soem one arp attack your wifi on an open hotspot and they just nabbed your password.

I fiddle with this in coffee shops all the time and i always leave with a list of facebook, youtube, gmail hotmail and other passwords.

I'm not a spammer, i just like to see how insecure things are and if any one is intelligent to use ssl... even though ssl can be stripped from a packet now lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joe USer:
Isn't GMail SSL now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
and ssl can be stripped from packets now. Intercept the packet and then use it to sign in. then profit.

an app to play with if you want to try it out for your self is faceniff for andorid.

Any recommendations to protect yourself then?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
dont use open hotspots at coffee shops and stuff like that. look for the shady nerd in the corner, and i think there is an app that can detect if your wifi is being arp spoofed.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gurkedev.wifiprotector&hl=en

i think there may be free ones too, i dont know. but that app will detect if your being attack by a man in the middle/arp spoofing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wy2sl0:
I don't use Wi-Fi hotspots since I have unlimited data on my phone. I really don't understand how this could've happened.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
its not just your phone that is at risk for these attacks. anything you sign on with is if some one does the man in the middle attack, among other attacks.

Other reasons besides your phone unlocking are the root cause of your issue. It's unfortunate none the less but man in the middle password sniffing and fishing are the leading causes i see at work for your spamming hijacking. i work with this stuff daily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scrambler3:
Did you ever figured out if unlockclient.com had injected some malware in your device.

Has anyone on this site had problem with them or any developper had a chance to check what they are doing ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Hensley:
I have a strange situation going on with my phone and I could use some advice.

My issues started after loading the "official" IMM76D ROM, the rooted and odexed version. Phone would shut off like it was dead after charging all night. Wont boot back up without a battery pull. It would freeze up while the screen was on forcing a battery pull. Basically unusable for more than 10 minutes.

Here is where I might have messed things up. I tried to wipe the phone completely, including the SD card. Factory Reset multiple times, wiped everything multiple times. I even did a repartition of the SD card thinking it would format it further.

Where I'm at now. The phone still boots into the 4.0.4 ROM and I still have CM recovery. But now no matter what I do, factory reset, format/wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card, use fastboot to load a whole new setup, THE PHONE BOOTS RIGHT BACK INTO THE ROM AND SD CARD STILL HAS EVERYTHING. I dont get it.

I have ODIN 1.87 downloaded but it wont see my phone in download mode. I have all the correct drivers loaded including PDAnet, and my phone is correctly detected as Android ADB Device. Interesting side note: fastboot detects the phone, ADB does not. dont know if that means anything.

Sorry for the long winded post but I have been at this for 4 days now and I really need my phone back! Any ideas??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeuXGod:
Maybe flash stock rom or CWM recovery from fastboot would solve the partitions issue. I remember when i had my old HTC magic i would sometimes change the partition layout and to reverse it i would have to reflash my recovery.

But as i said, this is all theory and can work or not.

Why would you need this if you can always get into odin mode unless your hard bricked? What could cause a half way brick lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Because there is always going to be people that don't bother to do any research and buy it thinking it is a quick solution for the last time they didn't do any research (and hard bricked their phone).

There is an App on the market (play store) that claims to turn your phone into a solar panel so it can charge itself through sunlight. The Dev of this app clearly sates that it is a joke and just put there for idiots that don't know better. It doesn't take very long reading the App reviews to see that there are plenty of idiots around. Most get it, however, there are several that actually think that it is supposed to charge their phones even after the Dev's confession.

So yea, that is why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I enjoy reading the comments of that app, I have been for a while now. It's for people that don't read the description, an idiot test, if you will.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] occupational_hazard:
I think the only thing they fixed was the issue of resetting the flash counter which was only good to 2.3.4. But now that we have a flash able zip to use with the 4.0 roms. The jig should still get you into download mode with a soft brick.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hedpe:
if holding the two volume buttons down when plugging it in does not throw it in to download mode, is it therefore hard bricked?

Yes, with the included cables... No need to modify the hardware! :-)

I'm trying to decide if I really need one of these. 1sale-a-day has it for $60 today. I already have an Acer 32gb Iconia A500, and an 11.6" Dell laptop. Do I really need this? They won't all fit in my Timbuk2 bag at once. I've been debating it for months and I can't decide what to do. Any suggestions? By the way, the coupon for this month for the link in the OP is "may5off".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
The 1saleaday one doesn't come with the cables
[Motorola Droid RAZR] loooney2ns:
True, but it's about $5 cheaper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HotShotAzn:
With out the cables the dock is useless. You can do what most people do and cut/modify the dock but the cable solution is a better way to go. I, for one, do not have a steady enough hand (or patience) to do the mod.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
UPS says it's out for delivery, so I'll have it tonight when I get home.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
So I got the lapdock yesterday. it does have a battery which charges the phone at the same time as powering the screen.

I haven't gotten to test it on my RAZR as I found out my RAZR's HDMI port has crapped out. I did take the dock to the local Verizon store and tested it on one of the display RAZr's and it works great. Just wish the cables were a bit longer, they are only about 6 inches long.

I've got a new RAZR coming in the mail, and should be here Tuesday, so I will be able to give a go review then.

Also, the HDMI cable seems to be somewhat loose, and can lose connection easy, so all4cellular has sent me a new one of those as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lovemyram4x4:
Is the display on the Atrix lapdock wide screen like the 100 & 500? I never seen on in person & some pictures look like it is yet others don't. I think the 100 is too small & the 500 is too big but this one might be just right for me, plus with it on sale all over the place it's a better buy right now assuming don't need anything the extra features you get on the 500 (not sure if the 100 offers anything more) .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
Besides multitouch on the track pad,I don't know of anything else the 500 has over this. The atrix Lapdock has 2 usb ports.

I don't know if they consider it wide screen or not but 11.6" makes it wide for it's size.

I'm trying to figure out a way for the phone to mount to the dock, so it's easier to move.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kurpter:
Hi Killer Turtle, Once my lapdock comes, i am looking in to making a mod to it so it will work the same as the padfone.

once its here i can take the size of the screen, the cables etc... and then i can plan of the design.
