[About XDA developers] mlalahoi:
Hi, First let me say that I love this site and have learned massive amounts of stuff by reading and searching and the occasional question.

I have noticed lately that the number of people who have been members for 2 weeks and have 1700 posts is rapidly increasing. I also see a lot more posts like:

"yeah I think my bro had a progam like that once whre you had to move thing diffrnt LOL maybe :) :D LOL "

and

"yeah that would be so cool if someone could do that, too bad i don't know how to program LOL :) "

and surely a lot more posts getting jacked by flame-wars and outright trolls. I know that this is somewhat inevitable when a site like XDA offers so much. IT will get hugely popular and sooner or later the AOL'ers arrive and turn it to ****e. I really, really hope that doesn't happen to my favourite site...but it kind of feels like it's starting to go that way....is there anything to be done? Some kind of flag on people who get senior member status within 6 hours of joining? Some kind of age-verification system before allowing new members? Some kind of post-filtering algorithm that auto deletes any post with more than 5 smiley's and two LOL's in it??

Seriously though, maybe I'm being a jerk, but does anyone else notice this lately? Any thoughts?
[About XDA developers] levenum:
Hello mlalahoi.

As you can see by the 'Join Date' on the top right of my post I have been here a while.

Yes this forum used to be different but it also used to be a lot smaller.

But word of unofficial WM upgrades, iPhone themes and free unlockers travels fast.

Combined with the growth in popularity of HTC it self and WM OS in general the number of users on this site has increased significantly in the past 1.5 years or so.

The administration of this site strives to keep it as free and accessible as it always was so instead of limiting user registration they increased the number of moderators to cope with the onslaught of junk posts that inevitably accompanies the increase in user base.

But we still can't catch every post, specially in general forums where there can be as many as 3 pages of new threads per day.

This is where you and other users who care about this site come in. In the top right corner of every post there is a '!' button.

You can use it to report posts that are offensive, wrong or plain SPAM. The moderators will get a notification with a link to the post and will take appropriate action.

Lets all keep the forum clean together!

why is it that i try to download but get an attachment.htm file that doesnt open but my desktop or where eve i save it
[About XDA developers] chunkymonkey:
Probably (a) you're either using a download manager (don't) or using 'save as' (don't) or (b) you've posted this question in the wrong thread by the way (i.e. it should have its own thread I think).

Disable any download managers. Free Download Manager is one that I use and makes this mistake on attachments if I let it.

Sorry for the semi-sarcasm - wasn't a genuine flame mate. Enjoy the attachments, very important part of the site.

[About XDA developers] Westie277:
Hi mlalahoi i do agree i joind when i first got my hermesthanks to my teachcher showing me the wounders of XDA-Dev and I essecialy agree with the silly posts that flood xda....

XDA statuses are not something to flash off (even though i carnt wait to upgrade :D)

What i dont agree with is this:

Im not as old as others on this website but XDA has inspired me to try C+ programming everything...

I can agree that it is probibly the young population that causing the flood... but not all of us are alike!
[About XDA developers] maccaberry:
Couldn't agree more with this thread. I am among those who might soon attract derision from some of you true 'senior' members. I recently joined and I am happy to say that all but 4 of my posts have been helping other members. Of the 4, 2 were questions and 2 were comments. But I would hardly say I am even close to being senior in my knowledge, yet here I am getting awfully close on post count alone.

But since I have joined and taken an active interest in the titan pages where a lot of work is going on at the moment, I have seen at least 10 ppl become senior members by asking dumb questions and making completely erroneous advice that in some cases could almost brick a device - all in name of their beloved post count.

For an interested novice (but definitely not a noob) like myself I would welcome a ranking system whereby you could see the seniority of a poster not by their post count but by their reputation for actually helping others or doing useful development.

At ppcgeeks they have a system whereby you can vote for ('rep') a post or poster to indicate if it was useful or just drivel. This way you have a more democratic system than just relying on the poor overworked moderators to do the filtering. These 'rep' votes increase your reputation as a useful poster.

It's very unlikely this system could be abused because you can't 'rep' yourself. This would really weed out the trolls.
[About XDA developers] cushcalc:
Rank a post, Rank a poster

This seems like a great idea! I wonder if this forum's software has this feature available . . . ?

Edit: I just checked out the ppcgeeks forums - another nice feature is Multiquote - really slick way to respond to 2 or more posts at once, rather than having to cut and paste like here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
Hello guys!

I received my s8 today and everything is great except from the fact that mobile data isn't working (or at least not the way it's supposed to)

I can start and receive calls and my signal bar is normal but I turn on my data and nothing happens. If I go to the settings and go to change network and choose my carrier the it will connect to 4g+. Once I turn off the data I can't turn them back on unless I do the same process.

Please help me! I have no idea what I should try in order to fix that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quickvic30:
Need a little more info, what model and or carrier is the phone? What service/sim are you trying to use it on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
It's the G950F and it's factory unlocked. I am trying to use it in COSMOTE GR
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quickvic30:
Ok cool, are your APN settings set correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
I think so, I checked them and they seem correct. Something I just realised, is that when I started the phone.for the first time I did it without a sim and now when i turn on the phone I get a notification: "New sim detected, do a factory reset.." or something close to that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quickvic30:
Yeah I'd try a factory reset and if that doesn't work totally wipe the phone and use Odin to flash your carriers firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CASz:
SIM cards can fail. I lost data one day very suddenly, turned out the card failed. Carrier gave me a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
Alright guys, thanks! I'll try cleaning the sim and if that doesn't work then I will do a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
It didn't work.. now I'm not getting the notification but it still won't connect to mobile data
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] painapol:
Did you find a fix for that issue? I'm having the same problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
I finally fixed it, I did factory reset because sim was asking me to do so(back up your data) and then I did recheck my APN settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] barondebxl:
It's probably because of this setting below (see pic). I had a software update and for some reason it set my phone on never use cellular network but it has to be set either on Wi-Fi preferred or cellular data preferred. No factory reset needed. To access the setting, go to settings, connections, more connection settings, Wi-Fi calling and then toggle one of the first top 2 options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] optimuspraim09:
That might actually be correct, I've got mine to work by other ways but that definitely is worth checking! Thanks for sharing

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggydoo:
Bought and activated used phone 2 weeks ago. Phone worked fine thru Friday night. Woke up Saturday to find I could not connect to cell network. Call to carrier revealed my IMEI number does not match the number they have. Somehow my phone IMEI changed to 350000000000006. Internet search revealed many others with same problem. The main difference between their situations and mine is the fact that in almost all of their cases their phone was rooted and they flashed many different ROMS to their phones and something obviously went wrong. My phone is NOT rooted and I have not tried to modify anything. Simple as that. Went to bed working, woke up broken.

I have now researched this the last few days and have no clear answer. Is it possible to set my IMEI back to my correct, legal,clean and not blacklisted value? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProdigyThirteen:
My guess is without a backup of the original, you can't do anything about it. Best bet is probably return it to the store you got it from and get a refund/exchange.

Edit:

Fastest and safest bet would be refund/exchange.

Little research has shown other people had a similar issue. Check Nox to make sure the phone hasn't been rooted before, if it has, you know what happened. If it hasn't, chances are the phone was flagged as lost/stolen after being sold (if 2nd hand).

As for a fix, I found this:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f898/g925f-imei-350000000000006-a-2044425/

Recover corrupt IMEI (without prior EFS backup folder)

Items needed

Root Explorer

Efs folder (no need to have a backup of this prior to the disappearance of IMEI folder, but it has to be this folder on the phone)

Obviously having a rooted phone

Instructions

1- With the Root Explorer to back efs folder to the SD Card

2- For safety make a second copy of the folder to the PC

3- Once both copies made to proceed to erase the original EFS folder on your phone

4 Restart the phone

5- When you start the phone, it will automatically create a new folder EFS, Root Explorer to delete the files and nv_data.bin.md5 nv_data.bin found inside the new EFS folder.

6 Copy the folder from the SAI IMEI folder we saved on the SD card and stick it on the new EFS folder created in the root directory of your phone

7- Since the SAI folder we saved on the SD card .nv_data file copy, paste into the new folder EFS generated in the root directory and rename it nv_data.bin phone, then recopy again .nv_data file rename it nv_data.bin.bak

8- With Root Explorer /efs/nv_data.bin change the owner

9. Restart the phone

If all went well you should have recovered the IMEI can check if recovered by entering * # 06 # on the phone dialer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggydoo:
Thanks for the response ProdigyThirteen.

The Knox is clean 0x0. Everything I have found says the original IMEI is clean and not flagged.

I will definitely look into the procedure you provided. It looks promising. I'll take any sign of hope I can get.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggydoo:
Just tried the recommended procedure but no luck. It is possible that I screwed up steps 7 + 8 because they were not clear to me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Copy the nv_data file from the SD card to the newly generated EFS folder on the phone and name it nv_data.bin. Then make another copy in the same EFS folder and name it nv_data.bin.bak.

Then you need to set the permissions for EFS folder/nv_data.bin file. They need to be set to rw-r-r. However for this procedure you need to be rooted.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggydoo:
No, unfortunately it did not work. After following all the steps again, the IMEI still comes up incorrect. The search continues ..........

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soapy!:
So, I bought a refurbished note 4 because it's basically a great mid-ranged device for 2017-2018 (bought it for 190USD). Now, I checked the IMEI via About Phone on the phone itself and it clears out with the TMobile IMEI checker, and TMobile representatives. Now, before getting to the issue, Metro rides on Tmobile's network so, you don't have to unlock TMobile devices just to jump on Metro.

Finally, here's the issue:

I tried to activate/change my device over the phone and gave the guy my IMEI to try to activate the Note 4. After a few moments of silence, the guy pops back in and says, "I can't activate your device, your device blocked."

My 2 questions:

How is my sim/device blocked when the IMEI is definitely clean?!

How do I remedy this issue?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dolemaine:

The guy told me it was network locked and told me that even though MetroPCS utilizes their towers, (TMO) the phone still had to be unlocked. However, I went to my local MetroPCS store yesterday and got it activated. Apparently the guy over the phone didn't know what he was doing and just made up some excuse.

Better ask for a replacement. It is with all 2017 Xiaomi phones that they lock the Edl mode and disable fastboot ROM flashing unless you unlock your bootloader by flashing developer ROM through recovery method. Now since your device is not even starting... There is no other choice but to ask for replacement. Hope this helps you
