nobody know why we lose IMEI when flashing from ROM to ROM, its just bad luck i think, me myself been flashed more than 100+ but never happend to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
I've never seen that happen.

But you should do a nandroid backup. If you are concerned.

I never do, but it doesn't hurt.

It's pretty straightforward.

Root with the right software and files. Odin is your friend. All, available in the stickies of the dev section.

I think people from other forums try to make it sound scary to root the s3.

Easiest phone I ever rooted. I have a cell phone store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xaznxplaya:
I lost my imei in my first flash on the s3, actually in pretty sure it's because i chose the wrong .pda. I was in the international version lol. I'm on cm10 now.

Gotta love android

Just lost imei from flashing cm10 I have no idea what happened. Did the steps to get my imei but couldn't get it back so I sent it back to T-Mobile and they gave me a new one for 20$
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kipster3001:
I was just abke to fix my imei after loosing it , after about 20 flashed roms. My 4 stopped working , but after mad searching and help from xda, members I was able to restore it. If u wanna flash check this thered out and follow all instructionons and u can restore ur phone if u ever mess it up.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeushvk:
IMEI numbers are lost when you mix and match the PDA files or Modems of one version with another or if you flash any other ROM not intended for your phone. ALthough sometimes this doesn't happen. I lost my IMEI for my Galaxy S(international) but thankfully flashing a Stock Rom restored it. That is why people recommend doing a NANdroid back up or atleast backing up ur efs folder.(though i never do :P)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
I could be wrong, but I don't believe that just a nandroid will restore your imei. If it were really that simple, I don't see why there would have been so much time devoted to coming up with a specific method to backup and restore your imei.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
Is there a fullproof way of not losing imei?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] handman29:
I would recommend using efs pro and back up your imei..its happend to me and if you dont have a backup you could be in a pickle!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kipster3001:
If u check out the link above it will show u how to back up ir imei #. That way u can restore if u loose ur imei #.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] handman29:
Nandroid backup will not backup your imei or efs file..you need a special program..and by just making a copy if your efs will not work because there is a file signature. .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
Is losing IMEI only t-mobile related also?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] handman29:
No all sgs3 have this issue
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeushvk:
for me a simple flashing of my stock rom sufficed..or else normally you could do an efs backup and restore. well for nandroid backup never actually did one,but most people told me it was a solution so i assumed it to be one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
Does this only happen to the galaxy s3 also? Or do other phones lose IMEIs when flashing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
I'm starting to think the risks outweigh the rewards.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] j_smith305:
If you're too afraid then just stick with stock. I've lost mine before but I was able to restore it easily thanks to the amazing devs xda has
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
How exactly did you lose yours? I'm getting that its random every time, but there must be something specific that is making people lose their IMEIs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SirValak:
Nice home screen. What is it?

Like what u did with the icons and clock... preetty sleek:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] j_smith305:
I lost it while flashing CM10. It really is random because I've flashed several roms before including CM10 and never had it happen until randomly. I was able to restore it though and now I have it backed up in case it ever happens again.

if you ever lose it or just want to back it up check out this thread:

Same here I lost mine, but with some amazing tools by our amazing Devs here at xda i was able to restore it... so glad this forum exists. .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
You restored it? I think you left that part out.

Anyway; is the galaxy s3 the only phone that loses IMEI or are there other phones that do as well?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kipster3001:
Others as well. Happened to me after flashing bunch of roms non stop, I only had a rom backup but not my imei, now I have like 4 backups stored in diferent plases. Now i'm back to flashing. I know I can restore if messed up..

I've lost mine from restoring a backup in CWM. I don't know how or why it was lost, but luckily I backed up my IMEI from day one so I restored it and it was fixed. Ever since that incident I switched to TWRP and haven't looked back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
Did you have to re-flash your ROM or did you just have to restore it via QPST method?

Also, TWRP is better than CWM???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adslee:
Just had to restore it via QPST, took less than 5 minutes and everything was good to go :good:

I've used CWM for a pretty long time before the SGS3 and always stood by it, but after giving TWRP a try, I found it much more to my liking. I'd recommend giving it a go, it never hurts to flash that recovery and see what it's like

[HTC One X+] brz1:
I've had the One X+ (AT&T) for several days now, and have noticed that compass is not accurate at all. I've tried calibrating it, shutting off all wireless radios by entering airplane mode, calibrating the g-scope, etc. But no matter what I try, the compass still spins around randomly, gives inaccurate readings, and so on. This is an issue when it comes to using the Google street navigation feature, where the image Google maps shows you is contingent upon the direction the compass reports you as facing. This might seem like a minor issue, but I do quite a bit of traveling to various cities throughout the US, and depend upon google to navigate on foot and via public transit.

I also had a similar issue with the One X, which caused me to return the device and get a Samsung S3. I figured it might have just been a bad handset, but now I'm starting to wonder if HTC just doesn't know how to design a magnetometer to work in its One series!

Has anyone else had this issue?
[HTC One X+] Chund3r:
I just played around with the compass on mine and it seems to be working great. Have you tried other apps? Or maybe you just have bad luck with faulty devices :(

[HTC One X+] Andrew149:
Download GPS status and see if that helps you
[HTC One X+] brz1:
Tried GPS status. It is just a whacky compass. Perhaps I'll swap it out for a different device tomorrow if I am the only one having this issue.
[HTC One X+] Andrew149:
That's so weird I would definitely switch phones.
[HTC One X+] brz1:
To clarify, Andrew, your compass works perfectly, doesn't randomly jump around every minute or so, or tell you you're facing due South when you're actually facing due North?

You are in the forums for the galaxy note 1 phone

To give you an answer, you will need a MHL cable to video-out.

look on amazon for Samsung galaxy note video cable

Whether it is note 1, 2 or 10.1, my reqt remains same. Cause I am looking at micro usb to vga connector.

I'm using a Micro USB to HDMI cable from Ebay for 3 Euro or so, and it works perfectly...

1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!

2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.

3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... :p No fix at this time.

Any help would be appreciated!

What type problems are you having. Are you doing full wipes and are you on the latest radios. If it is the media drain for the battery you have to let it all settle in. I always do a full wipe flash the ROM then reboot. I then wait 5 to 10 min after it first loads before I even touch it. Then I set it all up. Hope this helps some :D

Have you tried flashing the latest radio? Are you restoring apps+data with Titanium Backup or another app or just apps?

I'm using Synergy R125 with Leankernel TW JB 1.0 using the latest radio and rpm, and stability and battery life are both excellent.

When I flashed the latest release I did the first clean flash I've done in a while when flashing the same ROM (overdue for it), I only restored apps (no data) from TiBu with a few exceptions. Also, though it won't help the issues you've had, I moved everything from my SD card to my computer, formatted the card, cleaned out some stuff and then coppied everything back to the SD card.

You won't be able to what fizzledizzle said because we don't have system permission while booted so neither tibu or root explorer will work it will just reappear when you reboot. What you have to do is remove it using adb while booted into recovery
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazer_R:
The new app is now in the play store, so you can remove your flashed one (make sure you have adb and necessary drivers installed):

1) adb reboot recovery

2) adb shell mount -o rw /system

2.5) if that doesn't work run adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system

3) adb shell rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

Now you can install the one from the market, but if you find one you like online make sure the .apk is signed (I'm pretty sure that's your problem).
