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

Screen is weird

Hi, my phone started showing my screen in the attached today.
Basically it has all these lines running through it and I have to have the phone on max brightness to see. I've sent my phone screenshot to other people and they see my screenshot just fine. So I know it has something to do with my AT&T galaxy s4 screen.
I had someone else take my phones screen and sent it to me. I've attached it below
I was wondering if you guys know what's wrong with it? Is it a hardware or software problem? Can I get w replacement for it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
The screen is messed up. I'd get a warranty replacement. What firmware are you on? A replacement will probably be on mf3.
I'm on MDL right now.
Do you think Odin may fix the issue as well? I'm away from home so I do not have access to pc yet. If not then should I call straight to samsung or at&t?
The phone screen is messed up even during booting and recovery mod. But I can still use the phone in home screen and lock screen only with max brightness and having those lines on it.

If it was me I'd give odin a shot. That way you can confirm it's a hardware issue.
That is a hardware issue. A flex cable came loose and isn't sitting properly. You could take the device apart and check the flex connections. This used to happens to me all the time on my Nexus 7 until I hot glued that sucker down.

Great to hear that. At least it's a 'do it yourself' fixable issue.
If I open my galaxy s4, I will lose the warranty right? Should I contact Samsung first or go ahead and open my phone?

It would depend to me what firmware you're on. If you're already on mf3 I'd get the warranty. But if you're on mdl then it would be a tougher choice. But I like to have a custom recovery and the ability to put custom roms on. A warranty most likely will have mf3.

No warranty stickers on or in the device other than moisture detection stickers. Just don't lose or strip the heads and you will be fine if you ever need to RMA.

Simply opening it up won't necessarily void your warranty.
The connector for the display is on the upper right side by the volume rocker. (see attached image)
It's only a couple of screws and you'll need a spurger or guitar pick to open it up.
Simply press on the connector to make sure it's seated properly.

Alright, I am thinking of exchanging this device through samsung. How do I restore this device from using a custom rom to factory stock through odin/triangle away. I also want to restore it without using the factory boot recovery as I am unable to see/navigate through that.
But my approach is (would like some input)
- Reset Counter using Triangle Away on a custom rom (task's at&t galaxy s4 aokp rom)
- ODIN (removes root and go back to at&t s4 stock rom - MDL)
- Reset to factory through "System Settings -> Backup & Reset"
Is that correct? I need it in stock form as Samsung most likely to check everything through my device and be able to fix the lcd screen.
Wanted to inform people that have tried to help me out... I sent my device to samsung and they were able to repair my phone as there were no solutions besides replacing my LCD screen for free due to warranty. I finally received my device back after waiting for 2 weeks.
nfortunately, they updated the firmware to mf3 and there are no ways to revert back even with my old nandroid i backed up using twrp. As of now, no safe rooting method is available for mf3
There is a Safe root method. The only way it is not safe is if the user screws up by not reading.
Sounds like they fully replaced the device. If they did not fully replace it, contact them and tell them that they had no authorization to update the phone. They were ONLY to repair the phone. Tell them you want a replacement with MDL and give them some BS story that you have vital applications for work that is not compatible with MF3 or something like that.

Sounds legit. Consent should be a must to make any changes to a users device that doesn't involve 'repairing.' But hey... What's customer service anyway? Lol.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using xda app-developers app
I don't think I'll return it as I am returning to school soon. The only thing that is holding me back from rooting is there are no methods to unroot/odin the s4 on mf3 firmware.
On the bright side my phone doesn't overheat as it used to be and lasting longer battery life. Not sure if it's mf3 firmware but it's doing fine as it is. Will wait patiently for a possibility for unroot/odin.
Keep this in mind.

[Q] Will Google RMA if screen was replaced?

I replaced my screen. And now I am experiencing problems with battery life, and in need of an RMA. My question is how closely does Google look at the device that are shipped back, will they notice that the screen was replaced? I also forgot to put back the blue tab that was connecting the battery and holding the antenna down in place. Will they take the phone apart and find out I had disasebmled it? Also there is a small gap at the bottom between the bezel and the left screw. I think its due to one of the clips not connecting correctly. I could probably fix all those things but I lost my T6 screw driver, so should I worry about any of those things?

Not sure how picky Google is, but I sent a MyTouch slide into T-Mobile with the screen replaced, they noticed. I have no idea how, I put it all back together. I also recently sent my Nexus 4 in to Asurion for a replacement, the screen went wacky and I opened it to see if it was a loose connection. They didn't notice that.
Honestly you won't know until you try.

[Q] something weird with the stylus

hi guys
i just bought samsung gakaxy note 3 N9000 (exynos version) 2 days ago and i noticed something weird with the stylus
there is a certain area of the screen (to the right exactly) that the stylus doesn't write properly i need to press hard on this area when i try to write or scroll and sometimes it doesn't write even if i pressed hard
any ideas what could be the problem??!!!
the finger touches work normally only the stylus
i tried to record it but all screen recorders require rooting and i don't want to root this phone now
i took a screen capture by "Screen Write " feature with the air command .... you can see clearly the area that has no Red lines in the right of the screen
thnx all

the problem solved by removing the case

no double tap on / screen replacement /proximity

Hopefully someone can help me out. This is verizon vs980. I needed to replace my screen bc I got a dead zone in the digitizer. In my experiences with screen replacement, replacing just the lcd/ digitizer assembly never goes well, aftermarket double Side tape never holds it to the mid frame like factory. So I opted for a digitizer/lcd/mid frame assembly. Simply swap the guts. Everything went well. After about a week the digitizer began lifting from the mid frame (as though it weren't factory assembled) . Little mad about that bc it's the whole reason I opted for that type of assembly. So I decided to return it. This time,I figured if they're gonna lift like that from the "factory" I might as well save the twenty five bucks and just buy an lcd/digitizer this time and stick it to the mid frame myself. I did. Once I was totally done, everything seemed to be just fine. Then I realized the knock on does not Work, and my proximity sensor was acting up. Didn't worry about the proximity sensor since I'm taking it back a part anyway to send this assembly back bc knock on isn't working... So I sent it back. Got a new one, same issue ! No knock on and proximity sensor is acting up. So , suspecting proximity sensor as culprit I unplugged it. Still no knock on. So I then pulled the proximity from the housing and Used a proximity tester app to test it. When its out of the mid frame, dangling, it works fine (still no knock on) but when I put it back into the midframe housing the proximity sensor registers something in front of it ( no its not glue or tape, digitizer is unattached permanently at this point) confused I looked at pictures I took from that very first assembly that I took before returning. I found there is a black housing trim that I accidentally left in the housing I sent back ! It pops into the midframe, then the sensor pops into that.. I suspect this is why my proximity sensor goes haywire when it's in the assembly, but why is my knock on not working?! That black piece I left in housing ? Bad sensor all together? Coincidentally got two bad digitizers??? Rom? (Tried to different same result) stumped. So to sum it up right now, I have no knock on, and the proximity sensor constantly registers something when it's placed into the housing, but works fine outside the housing.

No I didn't, I don't have my sim card in to access the dialer. Suppose I could try that, but it worked just fine with the lcd/digitizer/frame assembly. Is this something you're supposed to do after a screen replace?
