How is it an IMEI NO. can be abused? Why is it such a big no-no?

I don't have this stick
Is there any other way to know which model do I have ? (scret code, hw info ..etc..)

i think codes info can be altered by flashing other firmware
so if you do not have te box for it
i think it would be best if you took pictures of front and back (with and without cover) - but do not showe imei or s/n
this way guys will be able to determine the phone model by its look

Straight talk MMS issue

I know this question has been asked and answered several times but I swear I have tried everything and still no luck. I talked to ST support but they are no help.
I have a nexus 4 and I just moved to straight talk and ordered an activation kit directory though them. I am up and running but cannot receive MMS.
Thanks for your suggestions and help!

Well I bought the activation kit directly though Straight Talk. Sim says Trac on it.

Att sims are blue.
Tmoble sims are pink.
You're gonna need to tweak your APN settings.
Here's my tmoble APN.

I tried to restarting and shutting down the device. It didn't change anything. Any idea?

I think another person who had that issue ended up having to exchange theirs. The only thing I can think of to try before that is a factory reset.

Sigh. I'll flash a ROM and check out how it goes then.

I wouldn't flash anything don't want to trip the Knox counter and void warrenty

I did root the device already. Didn't it void the warranty?

Before doing a factory reset, try to ask for help first. You can go back to the store or the carrier you bought the phone or call your technical support. Ask also if by rooting your device, did it void the warranty.

Meh. I was planning to flash a ROM which would result in a factory reset, if doing that would help I'll get the same results. Although, I'll try to contact the technical support to see if they have any idea of this problem

Fast update, I did a factory update and installed a new ROM, the issue is still there. I may have to flash back to the stock ROM and bring it back. I'm not sure what's the policy though

I called the store and my 15days have passed. Its either I can send it for repair or keel it like this. Seriously I don't use the fingerprint at all but its about when I'll be selling it. Would there be another way to fix this?

Are there any issues with buying an X Play from a carrier? (XT1563 model)

I'd like to get one and my easiest way of acquiring one is through a local carrier, but I'm worried if it will have some kind of pitfall. Will I stop getting updates? Will they be slow to arrive? Can it be turned to a stock pure version without the bloatware via a stock rom? Is it worth it? Keep in mind it's the XT1563 latin american version. And the carrier is Nextel.

I bought mine from Mercadolibre (XT1563), I wasnt aware I got the double sim version until I opened it, it seem mine runs with the iusacell rom.
I have been asking my self the same questions.

Updates may be a bit slower to come out. As for bloatware, the only one I found on my Koodo device was the Koodo Self Serve app.

I got mine through Telus, it doesn't have anything extra (Telus bloatware). Updates come in not to bad from them (timely).

No, its based on stock. It's one of the more popular threads for the V20. I've already tried Update Profile, ##update#, and anything related to secret menus.

Did you look in about phone for your Min and phone number they are probably gone read that thread....if you call Sprint they won't be any help.... They will tell you to do ##scrtn# etc

No, actually everything is there.

Have you tried the dial code ##72786#? Its suppose to reset the carrier settings. It won't erase anything, it'll reboot and go through activation again. Its helped me before with similar issues.
