[Q] Bad idea to remove sticker on rear of device - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the back of our Nexus 7s we have a sticker residing at the bottom. This sticker contains the serial number and I hate it. Is it ok to remove. I know I'll be trolled for posting this but here's my point; Wont Asus need that serial number if I sent it in under warranty? I still have it on the box after all.
Thanks,
A sceptical guy

IRC, the serial number is stored in the firmware, when you connect to the device via ADB it displays a Serial number, so if Asus needed it they can find it. Just remove the sticker and put it in your box, if you don't wanna chuck it, if you're not too OCD:silly:

[Q] How do I find my serial number without stock OS?[CM7]

Part of my USB cord where it connects to the NC has chipped off, and I'd like to get a replacement, but I need my serial number. I just recently replaced the stock OS on eMMC, so the serial number no longer appears in Settings. Is there anywhere else I can find it?
ETA: There's a 13-digit number starting with 9781 on my receipt from Staples. Would that be it?
The number on the receipt was not the SN, but I dug out the box and it had a SN sticker on it. The B&N support rep I got was not the sharpest and said that there was some computer error with my warranty and he would have to forward the issue blah blah blah, but I should have a new cable in about a week.

It should also be under the microSD card flap.

Nexus 7 Serial Number?

So my tablet has recently contracted a backlight bleed, and I'm RMAing the thing to Asus. They have asked for the serial number be clearly printed somewhere, and if it is not also on the device the warranty is void.
I'm confused - there was never a sticker on the device at all, nor is there anything on the box. The only way to find it out on the device is to go into Settings --> About --> Status, but I'm not sure this is correct. Could anyone post the first few characters of their serial, and also inform me if I must have mistakenly peeled off a sticker or something?
Thanks!
I believe you are correct in thinking that is the serial number they are asking for. I found this page which verifies it:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3333000?hl=en
The number should have also been on the box somewhere but may have been called the CSSN. This number should nonetheless by the same as the serial number displayed in the About Tablet section.

[Q] Can LG brick my phone?

I purchased 3 g2 d802 from ebay (HK top rated seller)
The phones came rooted.
When i check for system updates i geg the message "your phone is not registered yet" on 2/3 phones. 3rd one says "no update available".
When i check imei at lg site its not recognized.
Seller says phones are ok and it is probably a mistake.
Im afraid if the phones are stolen lg will block them, can they do it? I know google can....
Maybe the phones were indeed stolen and the seller changed the IMEI to a random one because the original IMEI was blocked. You can remove the back housing and check if the IMEI that is written on the sticker inside the housing is the same as the one reported by the device when you enter *#06#.

Imei number is the same at the sticker on the back and the *#06# and the settings.
The question is - in case it is stolen - can my phone be blocked in the future??

[Q] Fake?!?!?

I accidentally bought a fake GS5 like is shown in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lc6dQb5cF8 There are many things wrong with it.There is a model number mismatch on the hardware and software, the hardware is European(ms-g900f, the software is for the Chinese unicom version(sm-g9006v). The recovery is chinese and has no download mode. It won't get LTE, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work, it's very laggy, the flash for the camera is different, and the screen is loose on the corners. Also, the back is cheap plastic instead of faux leather like the real one. I know I got screwed over, since the seller has since blocked me from his phone number. Am I just completely out the money, or is there anything I can do to make this a decent phone again? Is there any market to be able to resell it? Thanks. If you need any more information about it let me know!

The attached picture is what it says when use *#06# to get the imei. When I use the imei that is under the battery it says the number can't be found.
Ok, then it's a china fake…

When you buying Samsung I would recommend to try it with http://www.imei.info/ or take laptop with you and connect to KIES or run download mode. No download mode or no knox = not Samsung. GS5 has plastic on back not faux leather as note 3 has (mine is plastic blue and is genuine) Fake unit is worth nothing maybe about £80
Can I do anything with it or make it work? Or is it totally just a junk phone?
Junk. I would not recommend to sell it to someone as Samsung.
Take his number to the police. Can't guarantee it will help but it's worth a shot.
Try and perform the steps written here to confirm if its a fake or not

oneplus 6t imei not match

I was buying a secondhand oneplus 6T but the imei on the back of the device was different from the imei in the settings. The dude has also lost the box so also can't match the imei from the box. Does this mean if the device is refurbished or back changed? Also I have seen some pictures on internet of 6T and there is no imei on back of device but the device I was buying had one, how is this possible?
Either he changed with a tool, or the mainboard was changed.
Normally you pull the silver sticker of your device and place it somewhere on your Box, but some people does not it.
Also I dont know if in case of a replacement Mainboard the new IMEI is the same as your old one or if there is a new IMEI on the replacement Board.

Is it possible you have a back case replacement? They would not match.
