[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lmrbrazil:
I live in Brazil but I bought this phone in NY.

It's a new phone and the IMEI number on the box matched the number in the battery compartment.

I bought the phone in december but I only had problems recently.

I traveled to a place where I couldn't get any signal and I turned off the phone.

After one day I turned it on and it stopped working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
Did you buy it new or used?

There could be a chance perhaps it was a stolen unit maybe from a store or such that when it was discovered gone, the IMEI was disabled.

I just don't see otherwise how the IMEI could just stop being valid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lmrbrazil:
I bought this phone brand new.

I saw that in some cases the IMEI can be corrupted, but I don't know how can i repair this file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
This its a known issue.. The efs folder gets corrupted.. Go to galaxy s2 forum and try the several fixes for it there.. If your lucky it will work..

If not.. Well there's not a fix for it yet on Nexus.. Theres several ppl around here waiting for this solution.. As currently they just have a really nice music players Hehe..

Cheers

Nexus Cm9 + Franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Its not the efs folder like it was on the nexus s etc.

Your imei data is stored in the factory folder on the gnex.

Sounds like it got corrupted.

I lost my imei on my nexus s and ended up being stuck with a generic one, it still worked though.

Maybe you can find a way to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lmrbrazil:
How do you change your IMEI on your Nexus S ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelmotes:
The IMEI can be changed/repaired on this phone using samsung pro tools. In Brazil it is legal to change the IMEI to whatever you like, in UK it is only legal to repair the IMEI to the original IMEI. There are some IMEI Nazis on xda that don't want to empower users with the ability to change the IMEI, so they won't tell you how to do this, even if it is for the legal reason of repair only. And, will probably get xda to delete this post and/or close the thread, like they are uk police shills or paid subverts or maybe just do-gooders (the latter is the worst).

This page describes repairing the IMEI of the Galaxy Nexus that had generic IMEI (which can be caused by corrupt MD5 hash for nv_data.bin) using SPT box

An SPT Box cost about $200, but you can usually find this service on ebay or google for about $30, they will resotre the imei to the sticker under the battery. You must pay shipping to and from as well. This place might offer such service: http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b177y:
I had my IMEI disappear, the "about phone' just had "unknown" for my IMEI. My Nexus GSM was only a week old and purchased from the Play Store. The only reason I checked is because I was on the phone with Google Wallet support and they needed to know. Surprisingly, I was on the phone on T-Mobile network, but with an "unknown" IMEI.

I did a battery pull to reset the phone and it was back. The number on the screen matched the inside, the number on the box, and the number on my receipt. I called support back (again, on the same phone) and they fixed the problem once I gave them my IMEI.

I was a little freaked out that it disappeared like that, but at least the battery pull fixed it.

Good luck with yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ADA Works:
Same problem

Hey.. I am facing this same .. I am from India, i bought from google play store.. If you get to know of any fix for this, do let me know too.. i tried the 9 step recover process given in xda for s2, but that did not work for me. :(

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Hey, even i bought from playstore and i have this same issue. Can you tell me how your issue was fixed ? i realize that the imei is printed on the phone just beneath the battery. But how does it reset the phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papi1986:
Ok soo first of all this is common problem for samsung smartphones - and it has nothing to do with stolen phone. I have the same issue as well - IMEI just got lost one day. Getting factory resets or flashing orginal stock from google page dosn't work.

I just hope that it's not a hardware issue - still waiting for solution for nexus. It's crap cause i bought from google play store while being in US - now when i got back to EU it stopped working - sending it back is very costfull...

So only because it's never happend to you don't say it must have been stolen or something!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abhishek_ab:
i am facing the issue after wiping everthing(CACHE,SYSTEM,XLOADER,...)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Same issue here, anyone please have a solution!?

All the best,

Mark
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pachanka:
Yep one more for me :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neryuuk:
Same here

I'm facing this same problem. Any solution to it yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dxWang:
Same for me

I am having the same problem after formatting /factory. Is there any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] varadparulekarofficial:
Wether flashing the factory image recovers that???

Sent from my CyanogenMod powered Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bruno_Puzoni:
Unfortunately no, but you can try.

I have the worst luck, my GNex lost its iMEI and II tried to recover it for 6 months.

Then, one day I got the IMEI back (did a backup of the nv data files and deleted them from the system folder)

So look at this: I did a backup on the nv_data files and put it in the Internal Storage

Then, I wanted to revert back to full stock (no root, locked bootloader)

So I flashed the stock (ps: this wiped the internal storage, so I lost the backup files).

When the cellphone booted I didn't have the IMEI again, so I rooted my phone and deleted the NV Data files FOREVER.

So basically there is NO way to recover the files, I lost my IMEI forever. :(

But for anyone who is having this issue, backup the files (save it in your computer :silly: ) and delete the nv data files from the system. Try everything related to that. (but be sure to have a backup, hahaha :silly: )

I am trying to enable copy and paste on my 8gb nook tablet using the instructions here . But now even after several reboots I am still getting force close messages by application com.bn.cloud.svc, com.bn.nook.home and com.bn.nook.library. I would post to that thread but due to the fact I have less then 10 post I cant. I use the built in nook reader to read my books and now it wont open just constantly giving me force close messages.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] derrabe:
Oh Crap

Ok so I went to do a factory restore on my nook device now I am stuck in a setup loop can someone please help me fix this. How do I just get the original jar back to my nook
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LMN8R:
Check out this YouTube vid by raywaldo; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIrgkjen8ro&feature=related. Hope it helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Weo:
I have a rooted nook... No cm 7/9. If you use the market's adobe reader instead of the nook reader, you should be able to copy without modifying the coding. I can copy from a pdf from adobe reader and paste into my office suite pro with no issues.

As a side note, I can copy from web pages in opera, but not dolphin web browser. I can copy the URL in dolphin only. Also, I am using Swype keyboard.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] D-Fresh:
I posted here how I now have access to copy/paste using the swype tablet beta - really handy because now I have copy/paste anytime I use my keyboard... which coincidentally is every time I've ever needed to use copy/paste :)

Lets hope Android can one day bring the iPhone and apple to the same scenario :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Can't say I'm rooting against RIM. I mean, competition is good. I just don't see BB10 saving the platform.

Just like the computer world; there is Windows and there is Mac.

Developers are going to spend money where they can make money and the quality of apps on Android and Apple don't give a 3rd operating system much hope of catching up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
I'd hate to see that. A monopoly of any sorts would be very bad for everyone.

[HTC One X] veerm:
I am thinking of installing custom rom on my phone for last few days. I know there is no S-off yet. So, i will be loosing my warranty after using HTCDev.com. Overall i am okay with stock rom, except overheating and wi-fi issues. You think any of the current rom will solve any of these issues and still be stable.

Is it worth to root now OR wait for S-off?

Are current custom ROMS for the HOX good enough for me to root and lose my warranty?
[HTC One X] trongnghia2411:
I voted YES! Why not? :)
[HTC One X] Beatastic:
lol, cuz you probably lose your warranty ? ;)
[HTC One X] mcintoan:
The question you have to ask yourself, is do you want to take that risk?

you're potentially giving up a fully tested operating system and a safe guard against any potential hardware related problems down the track, for something that could be better / worse / same

That said, the warranty "MAY" be voided, doesn't mean it WILL (obviously it depends on alot of variables). You may not have any problems down the track, or the battery could superheat and melt through the phone casing
[HTC One X] Goku80:
I unlocked. I rooted. Phone is now in repairs due to creaking and basically my whole phone was messed up. Phone was send with stock firmware and not locked. And they are still fixing it at no cost. So all under warranty. And will be rooting once I get it since my phone is unlocked
[HTC One X] veerm:
Thats exactly my question in the first place. I would take a risk, no problem. But is it worth? I mean to ask, whether custom roms are that much better in terms of performance and solving issues such as overheating and wifi that i should root now and not wait for S-off? :confused:

Many Thanks for your responses.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
if you are worried about bloatware then you can disable the ones you do not want from settings-apps. that way bloatware gets disabled and phone runs more smoother..but if you are a flashsaholic then i still feel it deserves to root..but it is all about what you are after really and what you are use to
[HTC One X] junialum:
It would be easier for people to vote if your question was phrased as:

"Are current custom ROMS for the HOX good enough for me to root and lose my warranty?"
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
Its worth loosing your warranty, it will take still more months to s-off and even more and there may be chance for 1 year too. any way you are going to loose your warranty in one year.

Just loose your virginity and flash custom rom , it is fun to have custom rom in hox and it will show you some better performance.

and the recommended rom is charmeleon rom.

Did i say virginity , sorry warranty!
[HTC One X] Serge.C:
I heard its possible to unroot device, so you can get back your warranty.
[HTC One X] veerm:
Actually real question for me is whether it is WORTH rooting for the custom roms available? Are custom roms that much better than stock in terms of performance as well as ironing out bugs such as overheating and wi-fi?

I do understand that HTC will probably honor the warranty (if needed), in case the cause is not root related.

Many Thanks...
[HTC One X] veerm:
Thanks for suggestion, will edit my post...
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Honest answer then yes. Worth rooting just for the performance as well and for custom kernels. current state of the kernels is messed up. Franco kernel has been cleaned up and reworked from source and well it is a beast of a kernel. i will say this again. my phone was unlocked and rooted. it is currently in repairs due to some manufacturers errors. it is all being covered by warranty and no mention that my phone is unlocked. so. only way to lose the warranty is if you overclock and the motherboard gets fried then yes the warranty is voided. but if you have like a screen that has came off or gap on either side and you still have your phone unlocked you are covered as it was not caused by any third party software.
[HTC One X] veerm:
I am not a big flashaholic. At least not yet ;)

I am interested in custom roms mainly to see if it fixes overheating and poor wifi issues. Better performance could be bonus. So my question is narrowed down to (as we probe further), is there a rom i can install which will fix overheating and wifi while keeping it stable?

this is been very helpful, really appreciate it.
[HTC One X] veerm:
AFAIK, you can unroot it but it will say "Relocked" not "Lock". In other words HTC will know that you have rooted it at least once even if you are on the stock rom at that moment
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
I just returned my phone to Expansys for an exchange and it was unlocked.
[HTC One X] droidpr:
Does it get hot on that kernel? I havent rooted because ive been thinking of sending this thing back for an exchange cause it keeps getting to 45 deg just when browsing 52-54deg when on 5min gaming. Since it seems like 8/10 HOX have the same issue either i root and get a rom that fixes it, or just send this back for a refund with seller.

PS: Not to mention i the left side of screen does pop out a bit i have to keep bending it in. but i can live with that for a while then just replace, but i cant live with a HOT Phone!!!! :(
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Return it my friend. Or speak to them to find out why the phone is like that. And no my phone never gets hot. Kernel is just fine.
[HTC One X] h00py:
+1 for sending it back. Screen flex can't be caused by a custom Rom so they should fix/replace no problem :D
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Not worth it.

Unless HTC confirm on HTCDEV that unlocking the bootloader will in no way void the warranty, I will not do it.

For me to do it, they need to specify in clear English that this act alone will not void warranty.

I can understand software faults due to custom roms, bricked devices or CPU GPU issues due to overclocking, but unlocking a bootloader alone shouldn't void it, nor should the use of a custom rom.

Alot of people will want to do it just to get superuser to use rooted apps & will want to keep using official HTC OS - it annoys me that this alone would void warranty.
[HTC One X] veerm:
Wow, Poll is evenly divided at this point - 9 for rooting and 9 for not.

Although most posts were pro-rooting, the poll stats gives away nothing. Guess will have to wait little longer for better indication from the poll.

Many Many Thanks to all participants and special thanks to people who took their precious time to clarified few of my doubts :)

Hope this poll continues and a bigger data will guide me and my XDA mates immensely in order to decide whether rooting is right for us.

Cheers
[HTC One X] kentrix.si:
Don't know if it's worth it, if you want to root it, then you will root it anyway regardless of what anyone says.

I rooted my old Desire only because HTC stopped updating it and i wanted more space for apps.

And to be honest original software was the best on htc, fast and responsive, custom roms just gave me something new to play with.
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
I root for CWM and backups. Had to send my One X in for exchange, but because I had CWM I could backup the data and then restore it when my new one came in.

Also I typically get faster updates if I watch XDA. Just download the RUU, flash, restore CWM data and I'm g2g. My One X I just got had 1.26 and only had 1.28 as an OTA still.
[HTC One X] mcintoan:
I can understand HTC's point of view, by rooting the phone you're giving the application the ability to brick a phone or over clock the CPU / GPU which would damage it.

I can simply uninstall the application responsible, reflash back to stock and claim ignorance, but the damage is already been done and HTC have to pay for the end users action.
[HTC One X] Elemental_Fire:
Hey everyone, I currently have the One X (Int.)

I saw this...

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-EVO-Andro...N6GS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1338736517&sr=8-8

And wanted to buy it. I might sell my One X and get that (import it to the UK) although i'm thinking would it be worth it?

It has removal storage plus 16gb internal, plus better battery, and the nice Sony screen. And IMO it looks quite sexy, what do you guys think? It also has the dual-core Krait A15's and supposedly better sound quality

[HTC One X] phil112345:
it won't work in the UK

The wireless tech is totally different and isn't supported in the UK. it doesn't have a sim card so you can't connect it to a network
[HTC One X] cronus101:
That is ridiculously cheap!! A pity it wont work here(UK).
[HTC One X] phil112345:
note that is on contract price. the $720 will be charged if not bought with a contract (see the buy now link on amazon)
[HTC One X] cronus101:
Ah...that makes sense.
[HTC One X] Elemental_Fire:
$590 xD Hmm it can't take a SIM card? D:

Its still not quite the instant on they were going for but its an improvement over Win 7 thats for sure
[Windows 8 General] Leapo:
Looked fairly instant to me. Windows 8 booted in almost no time at all.

Had to get through his motherboard's POST sequence, though. That took ages.
[Windows 8 General] ragingredbull:
Pretty good. I timed around 10 seconds from turn on to login screen on my Dell E4200 laptop that has 1.4 dual core, 2gb ram and 64gb ssd.
[Windows 8 General] mathijs727:
That's not so impressive, my pc is faster (high end gaming pc + ssd), even with win7.

And his motherboard takes ages to spool up.

[Windows 8 General] Mephistonian:
If I recall, he was not intending to impress, more to demonstrate the boot speed in general. See, some people don't have the money for a superfantabulousgamingssdrig like you. Though we all want it.

This is very neat, I got a chance to preview windows 8 in it's very early stages and I never got to boot it up. Actually, I tested it on a noname tablet that had about 8 different wires plugged in at all different angles. But still, very cool story bro.
[Windows 8 General] attricus:
I am not using a ssd disc and my Windows 8, in dual partition with Windows7, takes around 30 seconds in booting up, that is quite instant for me.

Once the pc pass BIOS sequence appears the Windows screen with dots rolling, a bit later appear the blue screen to choose Windows 8 or Windows 7, just after clicking the Windows 8 option appears the lock screen. Around 30 seconds in total.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhqp107:
So for example: I take a picture of a car then I press the picture icon in the lower right corner of the camera app, then the gallery app will show the car I've just taken up side down, or rotated clock-wise. What I have to do then is to rotate it left then right (or the other way) to get the picture in the correct orientation.

Has anyone had the same problem as I do? This and the homescreen keeps rebooting (due to lack of memory?) have been quite bugging me since I got the phone.

I'll be glad to hear if someone found a fix for these problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Try calibrating the gyro

Settings > Display > Gyroscope calibration
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhqp107:
Do you think it could be the reason. Cause everything works fine for me, like video player, camera app, browsers...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Hmm, are you sure the camera was orientated correctly when you were taking the picture then? Because I remember this happening a few times on my old phone e.g. Phone orientated landscape when recording, then I record in portrait (yes I know this is a crime against society), then when you play it back it plays portrait in landscape mode and vice versa.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katapiro:
I'm having the same problem. Have you solved it?

I think the problem is that the S3 is using the value "rotation" in the exif, and the gallery act like this.

I tried to use the PC to donwload the photos and then I rotated it, and the problem was solved (The exif had changed too, because at the begining the size was wrong and had the "rotate value" to 90 and now i doesn't)

Thne problem is that the i9000 I think uses a diferent way of rename this exif option :P

It could be easier for samsung to change the resolution using the giroscopes values, and evaluate what is the with or what is the high
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearlygod:
Hi,

i have a different rotation issue.

If i take pictures or videos in portrait format, the gallery on the phone will display everything correct, but every player in windows 7 doesn´t.

Why´s that?

thx, nearly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katapiro:
I have the same problem too

I think the problem is the way that the S3 makes the photos. It writes in the exif the size as if it where in horizontal way and writes 90 degrees as a coment. Maybe it is not a standard option, and maybe it the Galaxy S1 writes a more standarised coment (But now the S3 do not understand because the are using a diferent one)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearlygod:
So is there a fix for this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearlygod:
I just found out, that the photos do alright if you use the normal 8mp setting. I had mine set to 16:9 and then rotation doesn't work on the PC.

For video, it just doesn't work. I just wonder what that greed out flipped-setting is supposed for.?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberblue:
I just had the same thing happened to my s3,what i did was:

Turned off the phone

take the card out

backup the pictures to computer

add more pictures to backup folder in computer i got from different card (pictures taken with the same phone)

Add the new pictures to the 1st card

Now gallery shows pictures with wrong orientation, old ones and newly taken

I used a mac, there was an attempt made by iPhoto app to scan once the card is mounted but I don't think it modified anything

One thing i haven't looked into is if there's hidden indexing file being created in the card that throws off gallery.

If you have the fix please share.
[HD2 General] mfsr98:
Hey guys.

So, everybody know that the HTC HD2 is the most developed device ever. I was wondering, is there another device that would handle so many OS? I mean, there's the nexus, note, sII, ect...

But would this devices handle ubuntu, android, meego, wp7, and, well, windows mobile:rolleyes: at once?

Or are the devs missing? Will the HD2 be the only device supporting 5 OS at once?
[HD2 General] -Grift-:
Any OS to android is a hell lot easier then android to other OSes Eg. wp7
[HD2 General] mfsr98:
Yeah, I know.
[HD2 General] -Grift-:
yeah maybe thats the main reason.
[HD2 General] sieesta:
HD2 for ever

hello friend

hd2 support Android & WP7 As well as stock WM ;)
[HD2 General] mfsr98:
Hmm and why are you saying that? :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Hayzsky:
Windows Os is terrible.
[HD2 General] mfsr98:
yes but we all know that xD
[HD2 General] Eriu:
What will replace the HD2?

Hi, yes I have the same question myself. I have the Mighty HD2 too but recently I replaced the screen and after that the buttons stopped working right! I only have windows key and green key ..... Anyway I've a sucpicion that my main board might be starting to fail??

So what device is likely to replace the HD2? I've gotten very used to having a WP and Android phone in one??? :confused:

Maybe the next wp8 HTC? Are there devs out there?
[HD2 General] Moon2:
It might just be the button's flex cable.
[HD2 General] Eriu:
Yeah I thought that but I bought new screen and digitizer (with new keypad buttons) and had same problem (actually the win key and green key still work, so the fault must be on the main board? It still works though I just remapped keypad buttons so I have back & power - happy days :laugh:
