[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mdbitter:
I have looked around and can't find a forum discussion on this. Sorry if I missed it.

I love Google Now. I am using the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4. I have activated all the cards in the available cards section including the birthday card. I noticed that my Google Now shows me a new card when I have an appointment in my calendar approaching (so thus it DOES see my calendar and syncs appointments). However, for the life of my it won't see birthdays and anniversaries of my contacts that also display in my calendar as items.

I am really frustrated with this and have tried many different things. I thought it was just a calendar thing. Google Now syncs with calendar but maybe not "extra" calendars like the "birthday and anniversary" one that I have (added through gmail). But then again my Google Now also syncs with my contacts where birthdays are located. After all, contacts is where the calendar pulls the data from in the first place. So can someone please help me understand how to get the birthday card on Google Now to show me this info when it is relevant?

Thanks much in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
I believe Google now gets birthday information from Google + (not from calendar)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mdbitter:
It's silly that it syncs with my contacts and calendar but wouldn't implement this. Only like 5% of my contacts are on Google+. After all shouldn't Google now learn more and more about me the more info I give it? Well... I gave it my contacts info lol.

Hello to Xda members,

Since i get a invalid imei issue in my Qmobile A2 so i start searching on different forums nd then i i get this method ,this method is totally of chinese forum (i cant post reference link} so full credits to them but also me ;)

so here we start.

STEPS

1. Make sure you have rooted your mobile and have root explorer installed or similar in your mobile phone.

2. Next download this tool=http://www.4shared.com/archive/ss4A23VB/IMEI_windows.html

3. Open a command prompt

-Press windows key + R

-In the run box type in cmd

-press enter

-A black window will appear with writing

-Enter the following text:

imei.exe <15digit_IMEI_1> <15digit_IMEI_2>

You can use a valid IMEI or IMEI generator to generate random IMEI's using this toolhttp://www.4shared.com/file/zhEXB80K/uig.html

(eg: imei.exe 123456789111111 123456789111111)

4. Press Enter

If both IMEI you gave are in correct format the file named MP0B_001_NEW will

be created. Now you can put it on the sd and insert that in to the phone.

Run root explorer

Copy it to - system need r/w need to be on:

/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001

and make sure you rename the file "MP0B_001_NEW" to " MP0B_001"

And finally REBOOT your phone.

DONE:victory:

Doesnt work. I dont have any folder after the MD folder so I created a new one still no IMEI
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phaw16:
I WHOLE formatted my Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 (MT6582) with SP Flash Tool. Then I flashed the official firmware of this device with SP Flash Tool. I don't have any backups because I am reverting to stock. Now the phone works fine but it does NOT detect the SIM card. Also, the IMEI is shown as "INVALID" for both SIM slots when I input *#06#. When I try to fix IMEI from MTK Droid Tools it shows (ERROR : pttycmd1 device NOT found!). Also, MTK Droid Tools shows (Baseband V -----). I am sure the problem is that when I formatted the phone it wiped the NVRAM region too. So the device has no baseband or radio files right not and also the data/nvram/md folder has nothing in it. Although, WiFI still works perfectly except the annoying NVRAM Warning that I kept on seeing when ever that I wanted to connect to a network. Now the official firmware of Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 does not contain any nvram.bin file. It does contain the BPLGU file but I can't seem to modify IMEI with SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. I tried using the MTK Engineering mode mode also and tried to write it using the AT+ code but it keeps on saying failed to send command. Probably the SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. only modify the IMEI when the baseband or radio files are already present on the phone. So I think the only way out for me is to flash a nvram.bin using SP Flash Tool or Flash nvram.bin+nvram.tar to MTK Droid Tools which I don't have. Any ideas whether I am on the track or not? If I am, then how can I get the IMEI back on my phone. As you people can see that I have tried a lot of things, so please suggest/advice accordingly and any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Try using another phone's nvram.bin, which is illegal and modify the IMEI with SN Write Station or any other tools to correspond with that of your phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billy_cater:
1. check your baseband with mtkdroidtool if it null,you just only use flashtool format it (whole flash) and up rom again,your baseband will return,imei still null.Now you can use mtkdroidtool to re-write your imei,or use Imei & SN writer tool for hard imei.

2.if you still have baseband,just can not write imei throw mtkdroidtool -> just use Imei & SN writer,please install full driver for your mtk devices, include cdc driver
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phaw16:
I did those already non works. I Send the phone back to the manufacturer and I have to wait for a month for replacement.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] onnicked:
It is working for me..

I've tried all the other software like the IMEInSe writer, the MauiMeta 3g, MTK droid tools... none of them worked. But the method mentioned above worked for me.... now there wasn't any NVRAM error in the wireless notification.... The simcard can register to the network as well... this is flawless...

just to share... CPU version showed by the software was MT6572, but if i boot it in factory mode, it tells me its MT6589... I do not know which one is the right one, but the above methods worked for me.... Samsung S4 Korean (clone 1:1) mediatek. running JB Android 4.2.2..

Thanks...:good::good::good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phaw16:
Thank you for your reply sir, However the IMEI & SN Writer I tried using that but I always receive an error that "cannot write meta data something" any other ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billy_cater:
please sure you already install cdc driver and have database file for your devices (mtk6577,6589.....) i use it for all my mtk devices and it alway work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phaw16:
Yes I am absolute that I installed all necessary files driver and etc there are no errors on my device manager or whatsoever. Its just the cannot boot on metadata something error.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DrTrax:
Hi,

my MTK6592 + MT6290 doesn't detect any sim cards. The baseband is unknown, the imei is unknown and any emergency call fail with a screen and a message, that system doesn't respond. It's a custom ROM 5.1.1! If I restore the old 4.4.2 ROM from stock then everything is fine...

Where is the problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Ak:
Ok,calm down now im assuming that you are on a cm12.1 based custom rom on mt6592,on cm based roms MTk Droid Tools method doesnt works....So in order to fix unknown baseband and imei you need to use this method only...just follow instructions in order and Voila..you got your imei and baseband back..

Completely tested by me on my Micromax Canvas Knight with Unofficial build of Mokee[cm11 based] 4.4.4...

This was very helpful to me as none of the other mtkdroid tools method doesnt working.....It Works,:fingers-crossed:

Imei Flashable zip

Hi dear modders

I take no credits for this script cause it modifed

I've got 2 Huawei G750 one with Jellybean 4.2.2 and one with Emui 3.0

This will work for both device if mtkdroidtools dont show Youré Imei or can't restore of root issues

even when your device is fully rooted

But propably only on custom phone the Nvram back or restore will not work cause the modem file is missing or incorrect for Emui 3.0 Chinees russian or english rom or any roms that G750 Offers

If the steps above wont work try this cause the poster for good that some device even when there root

there hard to restore Imei's for 2 simcard phones Huawei G750-U10 /T00 T20 T21

For sure i also upload a modem flashable if this step wont works you have to flash 2 files in recovery

and ofc ill upload the Imei Generator

STEPS

1. Make sure you have rooted your mobile and have root explorer installed or similar in your mobile phone.

2. Next download script file zip

3. Open a command prompt

4. put imei.exe on your c:/ drive E.G c:/adb/imei.exe

-Press windows key + R

-In the run box type in cmd

-press enter

-A black window will appear with writing

-Enter the following text:

imei.exe <15digit_IMEI_1> <15digit_IMEI_2>

You can use a valid IMEI or IMEI generator to generate random IMEI's using this

after this take the new file MP0B_001_new and rename it to MP0B_001

than open the flashable zip and find folder map data\nvram\md\NVRAM\NVD_IMEI

Replace the file that you just generated and place it intro the zip file

after this Reboot phone in recovery and flash zip file

after reboot phone again you will see your Imei has been changed to the selected one you just generated by enter this code *#06#

Enjoy youre Imei

You can use your own lost Imei on backside of phone or just use a new one it's up on you

sorry for english but i am Dutch guy :)

Ill post also picture of Imei and replace file in zip:)

Look at Attachments

What to do if I don't have the folder NVRAM/NVD_IMEI in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 ? What If ti will create what permission shoud I set?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pro1001:
ok so basically your baseband is gone aka missing due to some unknown reason to fix this the easiest way is to simply put original firmware to your device using SP Flash Tool

however while doing so above there will be a option saying download only change that to format all + download

then start the process and you will be done.

please look up how to use sp flash tool if you dont know how to.

dont mess with sp flash tool if you dont know how to use because it will cause problem to your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pro1001:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinEve:
As per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43940670&postcount=1061 it is no longer possible after 4.3 to simply do "fastboot boot recovery.img" -- if you don't give a -c parameter, fastboot just hangs.

Instead, we have to give kernel parameters to fastboot with the -c option.

Hi,

my first post to this awesome forum.

I'm going to buy a new phone in next two weeks and I have 2 very strong phones competing against each other

Which one should I buy - Qtek 9090 or Nokia 9500? And why?

atm the Qtek seems a little bit better choice for me. The only thing that keeps me away from ordering it right away is the keyboard. In nokia 9500 it's very good for the stuff I would need it.

What do I need from the keyboard then? Well because of my work I do lot of work in IRC, so I would need a IRC-client for the Qtek (that shouldn't be a problem) but the problem is how well does the keyboard work in IRC or messenger stuff? Or does every application have it's own "touch-keyboard" what you can use with the stylus? I know Nokia has a very good keyboard for this kind of stuff, so it's the "leader" in this comparision area.

I need opinions and comments on both devices. Especially considering the keyboard.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] inffy:
Any opinions about the keyboard in IRC and messenger environments? Please I really need these!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Twiggerdingo:
The screen of then nokia and its own os do not let you install as many programs as on a qtek with windows 2003.

Keyboard works fine on my qtek.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheLastOne:
The keyboard of the Blue Angel is great, IMO.

Without it, I would not be able to keep up on MSN. For anything keyboard intensive, it's a godsend.

However, it's a bad time to buy Pocket PCs, with every company almost ready to release the new lines.

I would wait.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] afs84:
The keyboard is great...but not that great....

its great for like 30 mins or so...after that u get kinda bored.. IMO.

but u can always get an external keyboard...maybe a foldable type if ur always on the go....

better yet...wait for a couple of weeks and get the HTC Universal (MDAIV)

that will kick some communicator ass :)

Hello folks,

I know this is not the official forum but this seemed to be the only one related to Lenovo Tablets.

So, I just bought a Lenovo Ideatab a1000 tablet (4gb edition) and unfortunately, I came to know that lenovo has partitioned the eMMC card rather uniquely. Only 500 MB is available for installing applications while other space is reserved for data etc.

Obviously, I ran out of space after installing 7-8 applications.

I wanted to ask is there any way to extend the partition to use the whole space? If yes, how?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm facing the same problems

And different storage size.
