[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tdavis422:
Hey guys,

I don't know if it will help much with getting past the lock on the bootloader, but I was able to get the build.prop from the /system on the regular S7. Would changing anything with the build.prop help get the bootloader unlocked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sniperkill:
No. Nothing having anything to do with the build.prop will help unlock our bootloader. We appreciate your trying to help!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
BowFinger,

I am not sure if you expect any further replies to your questions because of your answers do not really motivate anybody ... !

However,

You should not attempt to change the IMEI number in your device because especially in the UK this is a very important thing (at least on O2 and Orange).

Whenever you make a phone call your IMEI will be checked to see if the phone was reported lost or stolen. If you insert an invalid IMEI number it will have just the same effect! The IMEI contains special information and is sorted in blocks. If you go ahead and change some values then you soon will figure out that network providers just can't identify your handset and do not allow you to call on their network.

You have 2 (legal) choices:

Work out things with O2

Change your network provider (as example switch to T-Mobile UK)

Cheers!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scousemartin:
How would change network provider solve the imei problem,o2 have blocked it so t-mobile wont be able to unblock it. As far as i remember t-mobile lease mobile lines from o2 anyway?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
The IMEI is only blocked (black listed) on the O2 network but not on others, meaning: you can't use the O2 network any longer but any other! As nice as it would be even for anti-theft protection - unfortunately network providers do not work together!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scousemartin:
It might work like that in the US but in the uk,once the imei is blacklisted it is blacklisted on ALL networks. So the only place you can use the phone is abroad. Why do you think he wants to change the imei,so he can go back on O2 :D he has already stated what he thinks of them. He wants to change it so he can use it on another network.

So i am sorry to say it ,but you are wrong
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] BowFinger:
No im expecting nothing more it was a "Thankyou Post" ok, looks like I'll have to bargain with O2 then
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Junner2003:
Congratulations! I am glad to hear that providers work together in the UK!

Well, they must have 'joined-ventured' pretty fast because of I used to live in the UK until a couple of months ago!

Do they still SIM lock devices by default in the UK? This is one of the most things I hate here in the US ... Germany was better, they only locked PREPAY ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] export800:
Now with the supposed AT&T media net plan sweep a IMEI changer might actually be useful. I mean I'd love to upgrade to the AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) but am afraid they will transfer to the much more expensive data plan. I'd love to stick in am old IMEI number off of the many old phones I got lying around to avoid this. This is really a stupid rule it should be based on data useage not device type.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scousemartin:
It has been like this since 1998 ,because of the dramatic rise in muggings for mobile phones, the idea being, it stops people stealing phones as they become worthless, but now you find they just unlock them, then sell them abroad :D

As for sim locking all the networks lock phones over here, unless you buy them from the carphone warehouse where they sell them on payg sim unlocked. But all contract phones are locked for 12-18 months depending on contract length, but they will unlock them for free after the contract ends.

I have tried going from PB1 rooted, with dev-mod bootloader, to PF4 rooted rom. Tried both FF and Safestrap, and it bricks every time. They brick differently, but they both brick the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudash:
It can't be a true brick or you wouldn't be able to try again. If your phone is hanging on the Samsung logo or Verizon boot animation, then you may not have wiped your data partition. If you are coming from a LP build, meaning PB1 or earlier, you will need to wipe data because MM handles data differently. I would also recommend flashing the ROM in TWRP.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterchiefb117:
So back history of device. I got it thru Craigslists for around $200. I have done my research before, during, and after acquiring the phone. Im coming from Nexus 6 so this wasnt a signicant upgrade but cant beat the price. Made sure clean esn/imei and tested everything, camere, speakers, ect.

So I just found out the camera will not do close up photos, at all. I thought is was a software issue, currently on PureNexus. Went back to stock and and still had issues. Close up photos are very blurry and barely readable. Ive used manual camera to manually adjust focus and it seems the best is can get is about 1 1/2 feet away.

Spoke with Google Specialist and they said phone is under warranty and they would send out a replacement but they would put a hold on the card of 499 + taxes. considering that as much as I like this phone seems a bit hard to have some of my assets on hold. I know it for precaution but still....

The only other option is to replace the rear camera module myself. Seems like for less than $20 bucks it can be replaced but is it worth it.....

**Sigh first world problems.....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterchiefb117:
Here are the pics for reference. The first pic is from my faithful Nexus 6 while the 2nd one is from 6P.

The 6P will take fantastic landscape photos for anything close up like QR codes it cannot read/focus onto them.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterchiefb117:
If i decided to replace can refer me to a good website to buy one. I see Fixez.com has the replacement but im not sure how reliable they are. Same for ebay.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RarePlatinum:
I don't think this problem is specific to your device, I think the 6P struggles to focus on close ups. You stated you've tried manual mode, but mess around with different camera apps with manual controls to try to focus. I wouldn't replace your device or its components just yet, maybe someone can confirm its only your device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csjneek:
Yes 6p can't focus under less than ~8-9cm.

Not very good for close-ups.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneUser148:
Two months ago my Nexus 5 would start randomly losing signal or say that there was no sim card inserted. After a few reboots it would recognize the sim and let me use it normally, but when the device gets turned off and turned back on again there would be no signal.

More recently my Nexus 5 just says no sim card inserted but when reinserted it gets detected with no signal. Is there anyway i can fix this issue as i got signal yesterday but sadly restarted my phone because of a graphical issue and i lost the signal again. I have also done a factor reset and re-flashed android. Any help would be useful!

(Yes i have tried other sims and same problems)

Current Network: iD

Other Networks Tried: O2,Orange,T-Mobile.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Since the phone behaves the same way with different SIM cards, it could be a hardware failure with the SIM card reader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneUser148:
But sometimes it will detect the sim and give me a signal and if i restart the phone it will not detect it again. If it was something wrong with the sim reader wouldn't it just not work at all?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Not necessarily because it should always detect the presence of a SIM card, active or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consolation:
Most likely, there's a bad solder joint somewhere, it would work after a few restarts because the metal would expand as the phone heated up and make contact again. You could try to bake the logic board, might fix it. But, realistically, it's a long shot.

I have a U8 clone by a brand called Ledstar in my country and It works with the old BT Notification apk but the Mediatek Smart Device app does not work on my Moto G3. I tried the app on a 4.2.1 JB phone and It worked perfectly, do you have any suggestion?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schwifty:
I have been unable to maintain a stable connection via usb from my phone to my laptop, although charging via usb works just fine and does not flicker on/off. I have tried using other computers with the same cable and those computers have no problem detecting my phone. Here are things that I have tried to resolve this issue on my laptop:

>Disabling USB selective suspend under power options.

>Reinstalling drivers

>Installing Samsung Kies 3

>Enabled USB Debugging on my Note 4

>Using a different cable

>Using a different port (so far, all ports except one cannot recognize the phone at all. The one that does recognize the phone has the rapid connect/disconnect issue)

>Setting USB connection type to MTP

I should mention that I have CM13 rom on my phone, but that shouldn't be an issue because other PC's have no problem detecting the phone. Any ideas?

EDIT: I just tried connecting an s6 edge to the laptop and it worked fine, so maybe it does have something to do with the fact I have a custom rom on my note 4?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superinventions:
try to enable usb debugging and control your using vysor, if there is no problem, i think nothing wrong with your phone and cable
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schwifty:
No luck. Since the phone keeps connecting/disconnecting, the same happens with vysor. I don't think the problem is with the cable. The same phone and cable works perfectly with other computers. I have tried connecting other note 4's that my family owns to this PC with stock roms and the same issue persists.

[Verizon LG G2] Zacharee1:
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I don't know of anywhere else.

A while ago I did a DIY repair on an LG G2 VS980 to replace a cracked digitizer. Apparently, I also massacred the battery.

Recently, I took the phone back out and bought a full frame+LCD assembly instead of going through the pain of taping my screen to the frame because of missing adhesive.

Since I bought a full frame, I need to take the battery out of the old one to move it into the new one. I noticed before that the battery had a strange lump toward the top. I was hoping it was just a bend, but it feels kind of stiff and I don't want to risk trying to adjust it if it's actually some sort of bubble.

Taking the battery out (with a credit card), I noticed that the back was all dented up with screwdriver marks, and it felt like it had air under the metal lining. (I have no idea what I did, but it obviously wasn't good :P).

There are a few images below of the battery below. Is it salvageable, or do I need to buy a new one?

The bulge can be seen on the left.

The back (it looks like a warground)

A better view of the battery bulge.
[Verizon LG G2] iubjaved:
Hi,

If the battery fits in , then you can use it for atleast no more than a year before you decide to replace one.

BTW, do you think your battery is losing its capacity? If you dont feel it does, then keep using it.
[Verizon LG G2] Zacharee1:
The battery seems to be working OK. I haven't actually tested it, since the screen is broken. I just know that it charges and holds a charge for longer than 5 hours.

I really just want to know if it's safe to use; if I can flatten that bulge out without having battery acid fly everywhere and then use the battery without the same happening.
[Verizon LG G2] iubjaved:
I would suggest to install the battery as it is, not to try to flatten it, and check how long it hold charges with a complete charge ..
[Verizon LG G2] Zacharee1:
The problem is that the bulge prevents the back from snapping on properly, so I can't really use the power and volume buttons correctly.
[Verizon LG G2] iubjaved:
Then i would replace it. Replacing will probably cost you no more than 10 bucks.

The bulge is the problem. Its not worth risking your phone hardware components for 10 bucks is it?
[Verizon LG G2] Zacharee1:
$9.99 actually :p
[Verizon LG G2] iubjaved:
LUL.

Get the replacement.

Battery usually bulges when they starts to wear out or overheating.
[Verizon LG G2] Zacharee1:
I was thinking the bulge might be from my previous "repair." I'll buy a new one

I discovered these merely by accident and never knew about them before so others may find them useful too!

1. Press the multitasking button (square) to see your thumbnails of running apps. Now tap and hold on anyone of them to get straight to the app info page where you can do things like alter the notifications, check the storage and battery use etc .

2. Using the keyboard with word prediction, you are given a list of words to choose from right above the keyboard. If there is a word you don't like, don't use, spelled incorrectly or accidentally added to the custom dictionary, you can stop it from appearing again. Just tap and hold on the word you want to remove from the custom dictionary and a pop up window will show - confirming your decision.

Hope these help.
