Good luck with making this post on an android forum.
As far as the op, I know they do the updates like that for specific reasons, reading similar posts about status confusion before, but personally don't know the specifics of the meanings nor their reasoning, but can say it has been posted about before, at least similarly and there are real reasons they have for doing it the way they do. If I remember correctly its mostly for their own internal use and statics. Sorry not more help, but couldn't help but post after the only reply you had was what I quoted above.
I hope someone with the knowledge will post a good explanation for you soon.

Dude I'm using both samsung galaxy tab and ipad. That's what I experienced. And again, this samsung said that their products will be the first products to be updated to ICS. Such a liar. Been waiting for ISC so long. I hate samsung customer service after sale. They suck

Help! Anyone in Los Angeles area with a Nexus 4 (16gb) Not on T-Mobile

First off, not sure if this is in the right section but if its not please mods feel free to move. Also if this in anyway violates forum rules please remove.
With that said, as the title implies I need help from someone that fits the description of the title. Why? Long story, but I'll try summarizing it.
I bought a use nexus, everything works and its in perfect condition. Except that its blocked from T-Mobile. I hadn't notice this as I just recently tried activating it with them. before that I was with AT&T and everything worked perfectly. So what do I need? I would like to find someone who is willing to swap phones (same model). That only needs it for AT&T (or straight talk, etc). Like stated, phone is in perfect condition except a small scratch near the sim slot, Unlock boot loader, running Carbon ( I could put it back to stock). So please if you're willing to help me out PM me and we could work something out. Thanks.

If its blocked from T-Mobile it was stolen and the IMEI was blacklisted. Irreversible, unless you want to illegally change the IMEI
Google is your friend there

Nice information. So is there anyway to check a used phone if it is in any blacklist?

What do mean "it's blocked by Tmobile?"
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

As in bad IMEI number, up till yesterday I had no idea T-Mobile blocked phones. My guess is that the guy who sold it to me was doing fraud, report it lost so he could get another one. Reason being is that a few days later he hit me up asking me if I wanted another one of course I had no need for it so I just disregard his message...
Anyhow, if anyone is willing to do an swap. Let me know and we could work something out.
It works perfectly for at&t or any other carrier except T-Mobile :/

My guess is no, unless you call T-Mobile and ask em about the IMEI number. So if you're planning on purchasing a use T-Mobile phone call first!

Stolen/fraud and ATT will likely block the phone soon since they started sharing their blacklist database last year.

I feel for you. I also appreciate the full disclosure. But, I think that you're most likely stuck with it. After all this is a forum full of nexus owners so you'd be hard pressed to get a someone to even swap their nexus that's on the network of their choosing for one with a questionable esn. Perhaps if you sweetened the pot(throw in some $) you'd have better luck.
With that out the way... why didn't you demand a refund from the seller? Or at least swapped for the phone he text to try to sell you? Did you even tell the seller about the fact you couldn't activate the phone?

I am currently getting this issue out of the 85034 area. I'm not sure about over in different locations. I am rooted with update to mdl , I figure they are doing upgrades/repairs but this makes me think it may not be now. Is this everywhere for you?

Get it mostly at home in the 45305 ( bellbrook, ohio ) area . But I have had it happen in some surrounding areas as well . Doesnt seem to effect anything . Just drives me nuts !

Contacted Sprint via chat for my issue, it appears mine is a network issue. I know you did a restore to your device and i hope sprint would have done this crap but its always best to ask with those dumb shi*s in the store, your roaming settings are enabled? and also have you tried updating the PRL/ and profile under system update?

It happened to me to just slide that message away like any other notification and it will go away.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium

Go to Settings> More Networks> Roaming> Roaming Network> uncheck where you don't want to receive roaming notifications (I unchecked the first two, under Domestic CDMA.)
If these options are grayed out for you (happened to me after moving to MDL OTA), try this:
The next time the roaming guard warning appears, select the check box for "Do not show this warning again" and hit 'ok'. The previously grayed out options should now be available. Uncheck the boxes under Domestic CDMA and you shouldn't get the irritating warning.
Alternately, run Rujelus' Blu Kuban ROM later this week when he's done with the beta and that pain and several others are removed by default.

phone stolen, personal information no password

what do i do i please help i have personal information like address and other important things and it was stolen by someone i do not know

Have you tried plan b from the play store. If it still has data connection, or when it does get it (such as wifi), that is probably your best bet.

Call your carrier to disable it

i tried remotely installing android lost but cannot register as the device is turned off. it was almost dead before it was stolen so i figure thats what it is. i am with at&t is there any way to go through them to make the phone as least usable as possible? i have very important information and im sure theres other important things on there i dont even know about that could be a security threat. what do i do

Plan B does not work anymore.
If you had anti theft software installed, use it. If not, good luck getting it back.

Damn Cerberus was free too recently. They were handing out lifetime accounts for free. Happy I got mine. It's not 100% but at least it's a shot.

If you still have your original box call up Google and give them your imei number on the box they can block the whole phone making it useless

I saw another post somewhere saying Google refused to block there imei but still worth a shot,
Also @op I'd blocking by Google, or carrier are your only options. I think Google could probably wipe the phone ota for you if they wanted to, worth a shot

Change your Google password that will block your phone from being used

Skip wasting time with Google, they will do nothing, it has nothing to do with them. Call your carrier, they will suspend your account, which isn't a whole lot, and will most likely only block IMEI number with a police report, at least that's T-Mobile policy.

Isn't it a bit ironic that you're talking about not wasting time but you replied to this thread three days after the main activity?

Yeah, calling your carrier is the best bet. If you have anti theft then you can remotely wipe your data and information off the phone. Hope you find your phone back.

I can confirm they are blacklisting the imei after you call samsung and start the refund process it happen to me.

Don't give out false information. If they back listed your phone it's because you already began a process with them.
They are not gonna just start blocking people's phones out the blue.
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app

Of course they're blacklisting the IMEI, you returned it. And since the phone is classified as defective due to the recall, the IMEI is blacklisted so it can't be resold/reactivated.
If you don't call them in the first place Samsung won't do anything to your IMEI.

Im not giving false info out as if you can read i said (after you call samsung and start the refund process). check on the Verizon site of xda and on reddit, Verizon started blocking imei already its just a matter of time before all carriers are doing it, start the return processes with samsung or carrier or not its going to happen sooner or later they have every note imei in system. here is link as other people are getting blacklisted ( https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote7/comments/57omxn/verizon_already_blacklisting_note_7/ )

Again this only occurs after you make the initial contract...If you don't call anyone, your phone won't get blacklisted... I have Verizon and my note 7 works perfectly. This conversation is a non issue
