Showing wrong information for a P8 - the IMEI has definitely been changed.

checked

Checked

So, from a further Google search, it's apparently a Huawei Ascend P7. Or, it has a P7's serial number? Strange!
What did the the other 2 links reveal? You only posted the result from the 3rd link in my previous post.
What is the model number printed on the rear, near the bottom of the phone?
Can you post photos of the front & rear of your 'P8' handset? Rear: clearly showing the text near the bottom with model number, etc like in this image?
Which country did you buy the phone from? If it's also from Pakistan, then at least we were on the right track when trying to update it from LP to MM with a C185 build: Huawei Pakistan P8 GRA-UL00 support page - look under 'Manuals & Download' lower down the page.
pics
i have attached the rear and front pics. i couldn't say any thing about the region of the phone because i buy it as used phone. here in PAKISTAN most mobiles peoples buy are used phones.

Looks to be a P8 externally from the photos you provided. Wrong IMEI & phone info could be the reason why the updates we tried in the other thread are not installing.
What phone info / model info do you get when checking the IMEI at these 2 other sites (I'm asking for the 3rd time)?
http://www.imei.info
http://sim-unlock.net/imei_check/Huawei
Results of the both sites are in pics. And sorry for late reply

Hello there... sorry for my bad english
I was doing some test with my X10 camera and... I surprised too much checking that the geotag work fine only in MediaScape. If you try to see picture location on Picasa, you didn't get any GPS information due to the tag used by SE aren't standar
Tip! Keep away from import pictures in MediaGo... it delete de GPS tags, copy it manually from SDCard.
By the way, can someone contact SE team (using correct english) to get any answer?

The problem is made the camera software... I just download a Camera App from the market and it's working fine over de geotagging... but pictures have a poor quality.
so i just checked the geotag and the location of my pictures as in CHINA??? lol. xperia has SO many issues indeed.

i went to astro file manager and it has the option of check or get location of maps. so i did that and it was in CHINA. i was like WTF? but then i checked out the real LONG and LAT and it seems to be correct. but somehow i guess the information gets screwed up?

Yeah, latitude and longitude is stored fine, altitude too... but it's seem to be that SE save north, south, west and east in a non standar way... so Google Maps don't know where the pictures was taken.
My english is very bad, sorry... but here an example. The information about location is stored in the exif on our pictures. Latitude it's ok, longitude it's ok and altitude too. But we need to know if we are in the upside or downside of the world (north and south) same for left and right. Normally this values in the EXIF data are saved like "N" "S" "E" and "W" but I think that SE are storing that like "+" and "-" (it is correct but not standar).
I get what u mean. Seems like there are a billion kinks that need to be worked out with the x10. This is kinda sad because while
functions are there we can not use them effectively.

@litoYcoco What issues are you you experiencing with Geo Tagging? We should be able to offer a solution to get this working.

Try the following…
1. Turn on GPS
2. Go to Advance Setting on Camera software, and turn on Geotag.
3. Back to the Camera home, and wait until GPS locate your position.
4. Take a picture.
5. Go to MediaScape and search for your geotagged picture. Open it.
6. Press the left hardware button, then go to “Info”. At this point you will see at botton lat and long. Well, take in mind that there is something wrong. I don’t know where you are, but I am at west long… but it show east!
7. Now try to export the picture to your PC. Keep away from MediaGo, due to it delete all geotag info. Do it manually. Import it to Picasa and you will see that Picasa cannot geolocate it. By the way, you can try with panoramio and the whole piece of software tha you can download. It don’t work.
I was trying to figure out what happend. I think that it’s a bug. Why? Take a look at the attached images. I was using PhotoME software (it’s free). Check the image 1.png (taken with Samsung Omnia) and you will see that it has Tag-ID 0001 and 0003 with the values North and West. Not the same with the picture taken with my X10 as you can see at image 2.png

I have recently bought an X10, GEOTAG only works on the phone, you cannot export the GEOTAG data off your phone, either by copping the files directly (if you do the GEOTAG data become corrupt due to Tag as mentiond in eariler posts) and if you use the defafult Picasa that comes with the phone the GEOTAG data is not included within the data transfer.
Very frustrating that sutch a simple thing is not working, but I bough this phone as its the best on the market for digital phone cameras and comes with an Android OS so this was a feature I wanted to use a lot.
If anyone has a solution please let me know

Could be a problem but I have taken pictures of the English country side over 3 days and they all end up in the same place in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean so I dot think its that

Sorry, I don't understand you. Can you explain yourself with other words? Thanks!
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre.
We have been able to test within our office and cannot replicate this issue. When using the Geo tagging feature the tags were within a 2 metre accuracy.
Are you able to supply ourselves with a couple of test images from your handset that are tagged with geo information?
Can you also please provide your handsets firmware version, IMEI and SI number? This SI and IMEI can be found on the white sticker on the inside of the battery compartment.
Kind Regards,

Under battery should be the original one. Or if you have the original package.

you can compare 3 imei numbers: in the phone (in the Settings > About or *#06#), on the back plate and on the box.

Hi,
I've been searching for a way on how to check if the unit has been serviced (refurbished)? Are there codes of some sort that we can use or a hidden menu that will show this information?

I believe you can download phone info by samsung then you can check there if your phone is original or refurbished

well ok, but what's wrong with downloading a few mb of apps? then delete it. atleast you can assure that your phone is not refurbish
roaring from the beast NOTE 4(N910C)
Dial ##786# or *#*#786#*#* go to view and scroll down if there is big Yes then your phone is refurbished if NO then your phone is not. Google it for better understanding.
I try both of this code and it's not working for me.

What is this supposed to be and how did this message send automatically?
What kind of implications can this have?
Also, I'd like to know what the other data is supposed to mean.

Is that an IMEI number? I recommend you hide that from your post... Check that your number is/ is not one of the ones on the text. No idea what it would be about, but I dont like it - it looks like your IMEI number plus a few other details just got sent to someone? I hope I'm wrong... Who did it send to? Be careful.

Hide the number from your post and never post it. As far as I'm aware, people can steal ur imei and make ur phone useless. It is a risk here but it seems like ur number has already been sent. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong and raising false alarms.
A crap app that has text and other permissions from the sounds of it. Are you on stock rom or rooted custom

Its. All ure build info. Sir it sounds like you have a app on ure device with to many permissions. Are u stock unrooted rooted or custom rom? I would delete many apps. But first go into settings into permissions and see what apps have text permissions. And maby look if any can read info permissions. If its an app its aparantly setup to send at a specific time. But the infos already been sent so u may never see or hear of it again. But i would unistall anything untrusted.
And deny more permissions. Even stock apps can run correctly with some permissions shut down.

That I do not know. If your not rooted and uninstall it u should be good as it cant modify the system to stay on device
So I did the international root method and after I got everything set up, I noticed in my settings under about phone it shows a completely different number. Now my SMS still works fine with my actual number but I just can't figure out why under about phone it lists it as a different number.

No I mean the phone number it says I have at the top. My actual phone number is not what it shows but I still get everything just fine.
I've had the same problem. Solution was to put my sim card into an iphone and change the number of card there.

Sir, Mam. I've removed the attachment from your quoted post for security/privacy reasons (I'd personally refrain from publicly sharing my IMEI).
I've also sent you a PM.
Please advice if you want the screenshot re-attached to the post in which case I'd immediately do.

I haven't see that.
I know on the converted T-Mobile variant that the software will show the same IMEID for both SIM1/SIM2 but in actuality they are different.
That's what I thought you were talking about.
