I am a repair tech and I recently bought an LG G2 with a cracked screen. The screen does not respond to touch, so I am unable to get into the device settings and check the IMEI. Is there any way to check the IMEI without going into the settings?
OTG cable, connect mouse and try again
As robogo1982 has said, use OTG cable along with an usb mouse.
Good luck.
May be a dumb observation but my Verizon g2 has the iemi on a sticker on the back of the phone. Yours doesn't?

My d802 also had the sticker. First thing I did was remove it though. I sticked it on my laptop, perhaps the owner of the phone did something similar..? (Probably not )

Can you get it to boot or is USB debugging on ? Because apparently this returns your imei :*adb shell dumpsys iphonesubinfo

same problem is here too.. the power button was working after i updated to 4.3 but later it doesnot work. how do I restart my phone?? any please!!
Try getting it repaired via warranty.
The power button does not use ribbon cables what so ever like most of the parts of the phone also using some golden square electronic pad so it should be cheap but if you don't want to risk anything then warranty is your option.

You got any idea how much lg charges to get it repaired? or is it done free of charge? Coz i am worried that they would say that the problem is because of wear and tear or something

If the device is under warranty then it would be free.
If you opened it up then there could be a risk that they may find out.

Install auto screen on and auto screen off.
Works very well for unlocking and locking.
To reboot you need root so you can create a toggle that reboots.

but all dis drains battery .. and moreover i dont want to root my device as yet
could this happen because something is wrong with the files in the keychars folder?
If it's get worse and you're still under warranty then you should bring it to LG, don't try to do it yourself you may mess up something and void the warranty. I did the same to my phone and they fixed it for free, the button is working perfectly fine now.

Hello,
I have my phone S4 since launch and today I have noticed my USB cable (retail) turning to a bit yellow black at the tips of the usb.
I show on the red part where the USB cable is going to be yellow/dark
It is possibly of burning or dirty?
What i should do thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
I don't know if it is my monitor my eyes or i simply can't see anything wrong because there isn't ...
I can see it (off colour)
Its dirty
Saftey devices will trip long before this usb cable burns.
No need to worry just clean it.

I wouldn't worry about it.
It is common for some white cables to turn to a yellow colour

Okay thanks mate but my friend have a s4 her usb isn't yellow like mine
I'm more afraid any day I will see my s4 burned by this and if this happen the warranty will work?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Anyone to know if i can trade the USB/Charger back to the warranty?
this does not look good, that to me looks for sure like the cable is burning.
Have you tried touching cable while charging? Is it getting hot?
Another thing to check is, is the area of discolourasion either really soft or really hard in comparison the the "normal" part of the cable or a new cable?
If so then I'd strongly suggest getting a new cable and never using the cable again, cause if it is faulty, there is a chance of fire.
All Assuming of course it actually is faulty.

When he charging the part of the cable aren't getting so hot. Just the charger himself is hot and the phone. After to charge to 100%, he cut the charge and he isn't hot.
Well I touch while cable when charging. He is not so hot. Just normal.
I'll buy a new charger and new cable for my device so thanks for your advice mate.

LG Flash gives you IMEI while attempting to flash a ROM if I remember correctly.
Type #*06# to get your device's IMEI.

Sometimes they put it into the SIM Cover, the tiny thing holding the SIM. SIM Tray. No? (Or that was just the iPhone..., can't look now, using it)

You can plug usb mouse on micro usb adapter and check your imei.
turn off your device.
Press and hold volume up + power + volume down. A "Hardware key control mode" will appear.
Your imei is displayed don't above the barcode label.
Great, i didn't know this menu, thank's.

hello Zombie,
Thanks you are right, i found the sticker inside the back cover.
I misread your response thinking it was outside the back cover.
by the way, is it true that if the LG G2 main circuit board is swapp or change, the default imei number will also be changed ?

I Wish I could take off the back cover and remove the battery from mine. Not installing a custom ROM because of this.
I boot Looped my Note 2 a couple times had to battery pull. I had tested quite a few ROMs on it.

if each board comes out with its own imei then yes if the board is switched then the imei also changes, I'm not too sure what's the process for the imei to be put into a phone or how they assign it
Seen a video on YouTube, doesn't look too hard but want to be extra safe because I've never opened the s4 ever. So has anyone managed to replace the vibrator without messing anything up and how hard is it?

hi mate,
I replaced a few things on the S4 before never the vibrator , except the LCD/digitizer the rest is fairly easy...of course depends on how skill you are.
to open the body use a guitar pick or a corner of and old plastic card ( credit card type ) to wiggle between both parts of the phone body
