Thanks very much. I finnaly stoped being worried.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamil1308:
Is the notification something serious ?? I tried to disabling the myxperia but still I seem to have it. It would take forever to do the PC repair and then to get all the apps back. I am just wondering if there is other way around it or I should just stop waring about it.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkdodger:
I'm thinking it's nothing to be worried... I wanted to do a reset bc phone has been a little inconsistent for me...also I'm OCD and hated seeing the words on drop down...

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schecter7:
Imagine a thief holding your phone. 'Device may be monitored' is there to make him worried, not you ! Still you can deactivate the protection & then repair to get rid of it. But it's not worth the hassle IMO
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamil1308:
Thanks very much. I think in that case I will hold off on resetting the phone one again. I have done it before but at the time I didn't know it was Myxperia and I ended up selecting it again.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamil1308:
Never looked at it that way. That will for sure make him give the phone back or at least try to return it. :good:

I had this on my Z4 Tablet too.

The fix is to factory reset the device and set up the Google account AFTER the initial setup wizard, not during.

I get the same message on my Moto X 2013, whenever I connect to a VPN. I think it's a 5.0 thing.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PHANX0M:
I get that too...

I've heard it has something to do with myXperia.... I've also heard of factory resets fixing it...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an3k:
People ... You get this message after installing a custom CA certificate, eg. the one of the company you work for. Do you use WiFi with certificates or VPN? Then you've installed a custom CA certificate.

Just used Sony PC Companion to update to 28.0.A.8.251 and it fixed this and didn't loose any of my settings/data.

I had used My Xperia in the past and but had turned it off before updating.

I don't know if it is fixed in the update, or just the process of updating with my xperia turned off reset whatever was causing it to show.
[Moto 360] reinaldistic:
So i'm pretty used to using google now voice on my phone but when i got the moto 360 i realized some of those commands don't work. here is what i've identified so far:

-even though you can reply to hangouts message i cant originate one. "ok google, hangouts message so and so text text text" works on the phone but not on the watch.

-google play music seems to not be integrated at all "ok google, play xxx playlist" and "ok google, play genre" work on the phone but not on the watch.

-nest commands are also useless "ok google, lower temperature to 76 degrees" or "ok google set temperature to 99 degrees" work on the phone but not the watch

is there any way to get these commands to work?
[Moto 360] reinaldistic:
Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dikdiamond:
Hello,

I'm new to posting in the forums but I've lurked for a long time. I recently bought a used i317 that I use on Straight Talk. My previous phone was a GS3, love Samsung devices! Anyhow, on to my issue...I shut down my GS3 to put my sim card into the Note 2. Powered on the phone, and changed APN settings. Settings worked, had a good 4g LTE signal. After a bit of playing around with the phone, I discovered that it would drop the signal randomly, no service at all. Then the signal would come back as if nothing happened, or if I put it into airplane mode then turned it off the signal would come back. I never had any such issue with my GS3. So, I rooted using Chainfire's auto-root. Too easy!! Success! Then installed Clockwork recovery Mod, so I could flash a different radio without using Odin. I flashed the 4.1.1 radio and unlocked the phone, then popped in the sim again to see if anything changed. No change, really had no signal at all this time. After that I flashed in the I317UCUCNE5 radio, still the same. no signal. So i was looking around for more tutorials in case I missed something, then found out about the Dalvik cache and cleaned that. I have no intention of flashing to another rom(yet) but cleared it anyway. Is there a certain process to flashing the radio as well? Wiping caches, etc as with roms?

I'm thinking this is a hardware issue, and I've ordered a new sim card port to at least see if this fixes the issue. My sim is recognized but since replacements are cheap I thought I would give it a shot. If that doesn't help perhaps the antenna? I thought I would flash another radio to at least eliminate that aspect, and I believe I did...I'm willing to try anything, I guess my next option would be a motherboard replacement if all else fails. I appreciate any help and insight that is given to me!

So I know that I can get into theater mode by pressing the button quickly when the screen goes to standby (to turn off the display while charging) but how do I turn it off without having to use the toggles on top?
[Moto 360] marvin02:
When the 360 is in theater mode turn the screen on by pressing the power button and then double press the power button to take it out of theater mode.

[G4 General] WLMiller54:
The LG G4 is one of the best phones I have owned. I truly appreciate it, however it has some nagging issues with carrier restrictions and as much as I hate to do it, my AT&T 810 G4 is going back. I am not happy about it, and may pick up an international (815) one soon, but I decided this one was going back.

Why Send it back?

No Root, No Bootloader Unlock

AT&T Bloatware

AT&T Disabled FM Radio

AT&T OTA pushes

Leather back felt cheap, and I could not find a good case to fit it

Nexus 5 2015

This is a great phone, and I have nothing against functionality or performance.

Whats Next?

Returning to my trusty HTC One M7 (For Now)

See what happens with the Nexus 5 2015

Might pickup an LG G4 815 International

Wait and see where developers go with unlocking the G4
[G4 General] painedglass:
Root and unlock will happen, the leather back I have feels high class (t-mo brown) you can freeze bloat with de-bloater tool (all mine is) I dont use the radio (too many apps to use it, plus some of them have local radio) ota-cant help that... I'll most likely get the Nexus 5 as. Well....while keeping this phone.....you did admit its a great phone!
[G4 General] autoprime:
OP has all fair points. Not mad.. but sorry to see you go.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Laters.
[G4 General] nadram:
Looks like you need to buy a phone full price, no carrier BS.

Sorry to see you go, but I completely understand. I have seen things in this forum that US carriers do to that phone and I have no idea WTF they are thinking.

As for root, I have faith.:good:
[G4 General] ED2O9:
Sadly, mine's going back as well. As much as I like the phone, there are currently too many things that annoy me. I'm with Verizon, so the missing apps started me out on the wrong foot. Then throw in LG and/or Verizon not honoring the $100 GB of Google Drive storage as promised, and the touchscreen issues. Finally, I got a notice from Verizon and my bill went up $23 instead of dropping a couple bucks which two Best Buy reps assured me it would. I spoke to a Best Buy manager, and they agreed to return the phone a month after I purchased it (as well as cancel the Edge plan).

All in all, it's a great phone but it's not significantly better than my trusty G3 (slightly better CPU, camera, battery etc...) enough to offset the additional expense. I have a bunch of accessories for the G4 that I'm holding onto, so I'll probably pick one up further down the road. I'd opt for the international version for obvious reasons. I assume that the unlocked version will work fine on a CDMA network with the proper set-up.

UPDATE: Nope... I guess I'm keeping it. After two Verizon reps assured me that I could cancel my Edge agreement, when the time came to do so the rep I got said in no uncertain terms that it wasn't going to happen. So even though Best Buy admitted that they screwed up and offered to return the phone AND twice Verizon said otherwise, I'm now told that I would have to buy out the remainder of the contract. I can't complain too much, since I got the $100 Best Buy gift card and Verizon kicked in a $145 bill credit for the mistake.
[G4 General] Sean473:
Unlocked International won't be a good idea..... As long as Verizon doesn't transition to full LTE and still uses CDMA till 2017, this won't work as voice won't go over GSM...
[G4 General] rphlfjrd:
Actually holding back from the G4 because of those as well. Let's see what this year's Nexus have to offer and probably the OnePlus Two as well.
[G4 General] fpsq:
I did the same. Unless there is a viable unlock + root option no LG G4 for me!
[G4 General] WLMiller54:
I agree, I am watching Nexus 5 2015 and the OnePlus Two as well .... If I can get a OP2 invite.

Yep, I am waiting to. I may head back to LG4 if there is an unlock and root option.
[G4 General] Z3ldaFan88:
I can certainly respect your decision, even if I would not do the same thing. Sorry that you did not get as much out of your G4 as you were expecting that you would, I just hope you can find a phone that fits your needs and you can have more fun with.

BTW - That Nexus 5 2015 does sound pretty promising, if you pick one up be sure to let me know how it is.
[G4 General] jamesjjj:
im in the same boat, Att H810 have the least number of bands out of all G4 variants, so I can't get data even when I unlock the phone to use in Asia.

But I am already past my 14 days period so fml.
[G4 General] evan8683:
Call recorder. This is a must have app for everyone who interacts with any business at all. They're always going to record your call for 'quality assurance', which automatically gives you the right to record it as well (at least in California) without informing them. Always good for CYA situations like this.

[ZenFone 2 General] pato2015:
Mines showing that too..emei of abcdefgh........and not number sometimes...its weird.
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
I clarified my text above.

I masked my IMEI (with abcd...) in the code boxes as I did not want even part of my IMEI known (for personal security reasons). My actual terminal I used the numbers in groups of four obtained from dialing *#06#.

If you are getting letters after dialing *#06#, I must ask - can you dial out? Did you do any modifications to the phone since you got it (e.g. root, unlock bootloader, etc)?
[ZenFone 2 General] pato2015:
Im still on stock due , i join the asus beta program on going :(....change imei only appears abcd change imei only appears during when im on recovery mode...when pound number sign asterisk it imei appears the original imei on my side.

Doesn't sound corrupted then, just boatloader is being protective. :)

[ZenFone 2 General] BobboVilla:
Hi,

I tried to copy the blocks from a terminal emulator on the device itself, and it took a long time and I cancelled it. How big are the blocks, and how long should the copy take?
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
mmcblk0p16 is about 300MB, so will take a couple minutes (one to dd it, the other to adb pull it). mmcblk0p18 (which I don't think carries EFS as I was able to grep the individual files in the system partition and no common files came up) is ~2.3GB and will (probably) take over 10 minutes.

Also, my procedure above assumes you have a MicroSD card inserted. Don't know the outcome if one ran the commands without one (probably an out of space error).
[ZenFone 2 General] BobboVilla:
Thanks. Although I'm not an android developer, I am a programmer, so I can understand code/scripting, and I realized that the command assumed I had an SD card :).

I'll do it again and this time let it finish :D.
[ZenFone 2 General] fosseperme:
mmmm i tried this procedure (also used for oneplus one) and works well.

Type "adb shell" (without the quotes - may need to add "sudo" to the front depending on your situation)

Run these commands for backup efs:

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512

Modemst1.bin and Modemst2.bin are saved in internal storage

for restore use fastboot

fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin

fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin

Bye.
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
Keep in mind that procedure backs up "reserved" and "panic" for this device, as this one does not have modemst1/2 partitions.

It is still a hunting match. ;)

[ZenFone 2 General] omgwtf19924:
if I could get a copy of mmcblk0p16 ? whether it is contained individual device's IMEI number ?
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
I wouldn't recommend that. Because it is the phone's unique identity like someone's fingerprints, services like cell providers will have difficulty distinguishing one from the other, and I think the policy in that case is to shut both devices down (blacklist the IMEI). So now, you would have two unusable devices.

I got your PM also, reconstructing that partition (that is your EFS) is a taboo topic, mostly because it is illegal in many countries. I wouldn't recommend that either.

Best course of action is servicing. Even if you voided your warranty, ASUS won't say no, it's just be prepared to pay (more). Of course, in this case you could pretend the warranty is still good, go back to unrooted stock, and play unaware...

Just curious, how did you hurt your IMEI? Just to see if there is a pattern of events that can cause that (and ultimately be prevented for someone else).
[ZenFone 2 General] omgwtf19924:
This happened so that, for some time I could not enter into a standard recovery, update your phone through the built-in program ended in failure, and at the entrance to recovery tried to update the phone and soon jumped mistake. Restore factory settings did not help, full unroot nothing distance, upload the new system did not help ... at the end I installed a temporary CWM used for root and reformatted /factory , /config, /cache, /ADP, /ADF and probably in one of them sat a match for IMEI ... oh well, I contacted ASUS service center and wait for a response. Currently, it is not detected SIM1 and SIM2 work and logs on to the network, both have the same IMEI and should have separate.

EDIT: Phone service reported to ASUS, after returning once the makings copies of files on the future ...

efs problem....help

i lost my asus zenfone 2 ze550ml's efs file so its showing only one dummy imei number,

But i have system backup which i took using temporary recovery

tell me if there is a way to recover efs from system backup?

thanks.

i havnt unlocked bootloader yet!
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
I'm pretty sure it's the APD (mmcblk0p16) partition at this point.

You can try to restore system, I just don't think it would be fruitful.

Always curious with this sort of thing, what (do you think) happened that you lost your EFS?
[ZenFone 2 General] noviardi:
The actual partition that keep imei is on mmcblk0p14 named Config

i got 2 phone with one dead baseband chip to tried out.

the mmcblk0p16 that you mention doesn't contain imei at all..

best luck
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
I was considering this one a while back. There was just no search matches to back that theory up.

If you have successfully revived one EFS with the partition (#14) from the other device, that not only makes sense with the problems I have had with config in the past, also means we have something more solid to go by than just block searches.

Will update in a little bit, with attribution. Thanks! :)
[ZenFone 2 General] noviardi:
yes sir.

as we now confirmed that the imei is containing in the #14..

let hope some expert will extract the importance imei from that 64mb partition..

the backup command should be

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/storage/MicroSD/mmcblk0p14.img

and restore whole 14 partition from the adb shell

with this command

adb shell

su

dd if=/storage/MicroSD/mmcblk0p14.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
[ZenFone 2 General] Protik:
Recently I tried to root the phone and successfully did it via CWM Temporary Recovery.

I used Exposed Framework, Intelli3G module, greenify etc. My phone was running well except I needed to turn flight mode on and off each time after booting or restarting my phone to get network on sim 1. But it was going well until one day when there was a new OTA update available. I just had forgotten the issue of OTA update on a rooted device.

After updating my rooted device it went into bootlops. I am not so geeky so I was looking for a solution. Then I restored a previous NANDROID backup via CWM but the it was showing error after restoration when the device rebooted.

So then again I went to CWM recovery mode and FORMATTED ALL THE PARTITIONS INCLUDING EFSthen I flashed some downgraded recovery.img, droidboot.img etc and updated my phone with the lattest official stock firmware via CWM

I was lucky to unbrick my phone as it started well

But then the real problem started

THERE'S NO NETWORK ON SIM 1

I reflashed my phone but it was same then I took it to a servicing store they said I have IMEI problem in my phone, the phone is now in the servicing shop,

Isn't there any way to restore my imei???

How about Zenfone Rescue tool kit(by Aztech)??

If you can send me a link to all partitions except EFS (modem st1 modem st2 and efs if pressent) to me as i have damaged paritions and I do not have a backup!

[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
Sorry, I am away from PC this weekend, I am completely unsure what I have left now after the unofficial upgrade to M base. Do you have a planned method to recover? You may need something different than raw dd images depending on how you got here thus far.
[ZenFone 2 General] Hnk1:
Thank you so much for replying mate.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70235245&postcount=434

This is the issue I am currently facing and suspect some kind of driver problem.

I have upgraded my phone to latest dnr and ifwi and others via fast boot but i can't find system.img anywhere yet.

My plan is to once I recover my phone (only flashing system.img is left), I can pull all partitions and push yours back and see if it helps.

Take your time when ever you can mate.

Update :

I realised that I was flashing wrong DNR which caused the problem. It was meant for ZE550ML while my device is ZE551ML.

Thanks so much mate!
[ZenFone 2 General] fred_gaou:
What kind of errors ? Were you able to boot to home screen or it was stuck before to get there ?

Could someone explain why restoring NANDROID backup may fail ? What is the point to make a backup of a working system if one can not restore it successfully ?

So if we backup the #14 partition to save our IMEI and other important stuff so the device can connect flawlessly to the network, could we restore it successfully over any ROM or only the Stock One?
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
If still in need, uploading system/boot/recovery right now. My internet is slow (and I am uploading 2.5GB it seems), so please be patient.

How much is the size of modemst1 and modemst2? I pulled it but the size is only 1mb and less than 1mb. I used the command in the OP but modified to save to my sdcard.
[ZenFone 2 General] fred_gaou:
Currently the /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 partition is backup by TWRP 3.1.1 (the only one I tested until now) when you check config partition to backup. You can easily install or use temporarily the TWRP recovery on a stock MM with this toolkit if you have one of this device ZE551ML, ZE550ML, ZX551ML.

I don't like how the screen stays on while charging, I know theater mode can turn it off but I have to get into theater mode every night and I know there is a trick with ambient display from the app but this also takes time.
