Why would you want to edit it? It gets your number from the SIM.

Oh.
That's weird.. is it reporting the IMEI?
After looking around it seems that the sim sometimes isn't programmed with its own number until you register it with your provider.. is this a new sim or one from a different network?

Hi mate neither it is the sim provided with the phone.
Yes the IMEI number is displaying
thanks for your efforts so far
Just contact your provider by phone. I had to do this with mine just a few weeks ago. They will tell you to shut off the phone then they will send a signal to the phone, etc. It only takes a minute or two.
Hope this helps.
Does it matter?
i.e., if the phone works, then nothing is accomplished by messing with this.
Select type, mobile. Ok, that works.
Select sub type, Galaxy Tab. Right, done.
Ok, next 2 boxes don't appear as there's no submodels to the Tab.
Fill in rest of the data, hit submit and...
Must fill in those fields that if I select Galaxy Tab, don't have anything in.
Np, will pretend it's a phone to get the serial number in, and...
No go. It knows the Imei is for a Tab.
Bit of a blunder releasing the device and you can't register. No problem, I'll just submit a... oh. I need to be registered... doh!
Yes, I've been trying to register for the last 2 days, its bothering me. What about a phone call?
Ditto, I'm mainly stuck at the serial number part. There is no serial number anywhere on this unit. I tried entering the MEID but that wouldn't take.
Also they don't have my specific model number all mine has on the unit and the box is SCHI800BKV but the site has two versions with an A and an L in the model number.
I was able to register 2 days ago. I was having the same issues before.
I think for the sub category, pick GTab again instead of TMobile Gtab, etc.
After that I was able to pick the other drop downs.
Having the same issue the Samsung customer service employee told me I needed to wait 2 days for what IDK
What you need to do is select 'Cell phone' istead of galaxy tab, and then enter the IMEI number in the serial number box. May take a bit of fighting with it, but it worked for me.
Nope, i think it's only taking IMEIs (GSM equipment), not ESNs (CDMA Equipment)...
I found the serial number in the "about phone" section - status. It lists the IMEI and the serial number. Had to trouble registering my Tab without the serial number at first.

Your equipment is GSM, i believe. CDMA equipment doesnt show a s/n under settings ~~> about phone ~~> status. Our equipment only show ESN #s in Dec and Hex.

This is ridiculous!
How do you have a registration page that only caters to one type of device? Not only that...when you try to register over the phone, no one can help you either!!!
So Not Kewl!
Do everything as you are supposed to on the page, selecting "Galaxy Tab." Then put in the Hex version of the IMEI starting after the first two characters, "0x" in my case. For example, your Hex IMEI code will look something like:
0xA1234567899ASA
but only put in:
A1234567899ASA
and it will fill in the greyed out boxes for you.

i assume you mean "put in the HEX version of the ESN," not of the IMEI.
Anyway, still doesn't register for me
I can't register my at&t tab! It says invalid imei, serial number. Little help please!
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using XDA App
Managed to get registered last night in the end, silly faffy todo. Perhaps this should be done automatically when you buy it at the store

Yes, MEID accessed through settings->about device->status->MEID.
My model is a verizon. Not sure if that would make any difference.
Using the HEX worked for me.
Sprint.
Has anyone with an AT&T Tab been able to register? This is highly frustrating!!
No luck wit at&t tab. Can't get my $50.

I called a half hour ago and they said "We are still updating our data base with serial numbers and imei numbers." Please try again in 24 hours. I said ok but its been 24 hours since I originally tried. Then he said try again in another 48 hours. i said wait you just told me to wait 24. and then he said yes 24 hours.
they don't know what's going on.

Which brand Tablet do you have?
I don't get a serial or IMEI error, I get an error about the sub-category fields not being populated.
It's like the form isn't checking my AT&T IMEI number.
Thanks to everyone invovled with the unlocking of telephone calls. I am a Canadian user on Bell with a Bell Tab and using it as my only device (with a BT headset of course!).
I have a Galaxy S and an application from my work restricts access based on IMEI. Because I have both devices and I swap my sim when I want to carry soemthing smaller, is it possible to mirror/duplicate the IMEI from the S to the Tab? As only one device will be on the network at any given time I don't see why this would be a problem but I don't know much about how IMEI is used on mobile networks.
I read some posts about scrubbing the IMEI but nothing about replacing it.
Thanks,
Greg
Are you sure that the access is restricted based on the imei and not the mac address ?

And its really easy to change the wifi mac to any other value you would like, especially to that of an old device that does have network access.
But if the app queries the imei then you're stuck.
Yeah, it's definately looking at the IMEI, it's part of registering for the service. So there's no way to re-program it? That's a bummer.
Part of making it work on froyo requires me to figure out how to get Samsung Social Hub as the app itself doesn't like froyo on the Galaxy S but with social hub I can read email. Such bad software but that's what I got. Okay, guess I need to tell my gatekeeper guy to change my imei for the service from the Galaxy S to the Tab.
You need a piece of hardware called an sptbox to change the imei number on your phone. It costs $250 and I think you have to buy it from China or some reseller, of which, there doesn't appear to be any in North America. Doesn't seem worth it to me.
hi everyone,
It's my first time i post on this forum, i am a noob.
In brief i just brought an GALAXY NOTE 3 (SM-N9005) a week ago from a seller but just yesterday i realized that my phone work only on GSM and can t pick up 3G signal at all even if i am in a area where there is cover. i searched the net hours and hours but didn t find a clear answer.
Please can someone figure out what is the problem and how to fix it.
Here are my information:
I am from Morocco,my operator is MEDITEL(i tried others operators here "INWI" and "IAM" it doesn t work either no 3G signal ), my Note 3 is under KitKat 4.4.2,
For more information about the phone look at the screenshots in the attachement.
The phone is STOCK not ROOTED i didn t mess anything yet.
The phone is from Spain and the carrier is Orange because at boot the is the orange boot logo.
It will be soo nice if anybody can help me. I really like my phone but if it doesn t work like it should its a shame. Here in morocco high end smartphones are expensive and no warranty unless you buy it from from samsung store where is more expensive.
Did you enter the APN settings?

Yes it might be the problem with CSC, but:
- Did you try your SIM card with another smartphone and have success with the 3G connection?
- In the Phone INFO *Samsung* app, enter the Menu and select [Note 3] Fake Detector, tell me what does it say? What is the Diag Code?

1- This error related to my app. I will fix it soon. Sorry about that.
2- There is a big chance that your phone is a refurbished one. Because it has NONE manufacturing date, and the IMEI does not match with the one on the label.
Can you PM me full info from the Phone INFO app?
---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------
I have looked at your screenshots you sent me.
Your device doesnt have manufacturing date and hardware revision info, so the big chance is that your phone is a refurbished one.
If you can return it to the shop where you bought, I think it is the best choice for you now.
Sorry to say about that.

Hi mate,
I've just updated my app.
Could you please update the app from Play Store (v1.5.0), then enter the Menu and select '[Note 3] Fake Detector', and check for the Diag Code again?
Thank you.

I called the seller and he told me to bring back the phone so he can find what is the problem. For returning the phone i don t think he will accept, firstly ther is no warranty and secondly the phone was sealed with samsung,he didn t open the box then its not he's fault.
If he didn't fix it i will just live without 3G
Thanks a lot vndnguyen and sorry for wasting your time. Btw flashing another modem (CSC) wouldn't fix it?

My problem is when i switch to 3G only, i get "Selected network unavailable" even if i am in an area with 3G cover
Hi!
I have same problem.
I Live in Finland. 3 month I used DNA operator, was all perfect. Now I connect to Sonera and work only 2G connection.
I flashed 3 different ROM, flashed 2 different modem ROM, finally I flashed 4 files Poland ROM and use it like it is.
2G worked propertly, 3G don't connect.:crying:
Mobile broadband work correct at all settings.
Can't find way out...

Install an app from Playstore named;
"PhoneInfoSamsung"
And verify.
Hi
thanks for reply ive downloaded the app & run it it provides lots of info but i dont know exactly what im looking for ?
If you can see your carrier listed, it's not a live demo unit. Those things have no baseband chip.
cant see my carrier but can call emergency services would that mean that there is a baseband chip or modem ?

Do a refurbishment check of your phone using that app. And see what it says.
Hi
it tells me that the serial number appears to be 00000000000.
for better results check sticker behind battery
so i did it says "it looks like your phone is a refurbished one
WARNING: your phone does not match with serial number
WARNING: your phone does not have hardware revision information.
NOTE: The knox warranty has been tripped

Oh. Can you share ScreenShots from the PhoneInfo app.?
Depending on the above statement "it looks like your phone is a refurbished one", "your phone does not match with serial number" and "your phone does not have hardware revision information". I think your phone is refurbished, which means it might be a live demo unit.

You tripped the Knox?
I guess you are right. It seems to be a live demo unit.
Because some fields are missing like Country of Origin, Original CSC code, Samsung Serial number and Hardware revision.
This guy @vndnguyen can put some more light on this.

Since your phone has imei number, it is not a live demo unit, as a demo unit does not have imei.
But your phone is the refurbished one, as the hardware has been changed and modified.
Can you show a picture (hi-resolution) of the Back Sticker (under the battery) for further checking?

If you use the menu > Other Tools > S/N Decoder to decode the S/N on the back sticker, the manufacturing date is January 2014.
While the manufacturing date in the phone is 10/2013.
That means the phone's mainboard has been replaced, I think.
I thought when you boot a demo unit, it show the Note 3 words then underneath it says demo unit?

Hi
i think it usually does say demo unit but if another rom has been flashed then that must take it away
but if i call the emergency services (999 uk) then does that mean its not a demo because it must have the necessary
internal parts to connect to mobile network ?

Hello vattmann,
Do you still own the above talking device (N9005)?
If so, I would like to ask you for some more info.
Sorry for disturbing you.
