Lost your imei number? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently lost mine but found an app which allows you to put it back with one press. It's a phone app do no computer needed.
I'm not sure how XDA view this so if someone who has authority can post "yes/no", with regards me posting details I'd be grateful. I know there's a lot of people who need this desperately. I've seen other posts openly explaining how to do it the long winded way so I hope they will allow it....

Can it change to another imei?

Well I just reported this post to get some mod attention sooner rather than later. I'm curious as to what app it is and how it regenerates the imei. It could be really useful so hopefully the mods will give it the thumbs up. It's always a fine line with IMEI stuff though.

If it allows you to recover your original IMEI then it is ok. If it changes your IMEI, it is not allowed here.
@howard bamber will you PM me a link for review please?

Text Intercepting

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to intercept my wifes texts. We both have tilts and i have read it can be done, but im having trouble figuring it out. If anyone knows how to or can lead me to where i can find out it would be great. I have a feeling something might be going on and i need to find out for certain...
That is sad man...I think I have read that somewhere here but I totally forgot. Let me check it out too and BTW you can also install ***** some recorder to your wife's phone and configure it to automatically record all incoming and outgoing calls and save it on the memory card. Be back if I find that text intercepting app...
I think I saw some app similar to this here at XDA dev...
Guys.. i understand the need for this but we're sort of not allowed to talk about things things here.
thanks..

You obviously didn't like my last post telling the guy the way it is, or else you wouldn't have CENSORED it.
What he wants to do is underhanded , unethical and in most places illegal. If you didn't like what I had to say, then you should not condone what he wants to do ! And you should close this thread. Not censor the responses.

If you had read the rules, you may have noted some that state:
No flaming
No offensive behavior
Since your post (yes, I can see it) was both, it was removed. If you don't abide by the rules, actions will be taken.
But obviously asking for help in performing illegal activity is quite alright.
Okay I understand the rules now.......It's alright to break the law around here, but don't you dare chastise someone for wanting to illegally spy on his wife instead of confronting her like a man.

good luck on that one bud - u do realize you're asking assistance in tampering with what sounds like, evidence.
*find his way out*
really??
not tampering. need to get them from my phone to print out so I can take it to the judge.
Legal side apart, I don't think you can. I'm not sure of anything that dumps them. Try googling for "android text dump", or looking around the forums.

Why does he need to read that? He only reposted cause he originally posted it in the wrong thread. And maybe he did search but had no luck. I've never seen this topic in any thread.

I did read. It was originally posted in general section but that was the wrong section so he posted it here. We have people to watch the forums to make sure stuff gets posted in the right section and who make up the rules they are called moderators. And if he wanted to tamper with evidence I'm sure all he would have to do is install a different rom.

[q] help from me on xda or in pm/gtalk ?

I help A LOT of people here on xda all day everyday some donate some don't. its very hard to help people on xda cus when helping them other people jump in and start either telling the person im helping don't do that do this or they just plain old spam. i have helped a very large amount of people on g talk and they have told me they like to be helped MORE on g talk than on xda because we have 100% full privacy to do what we need to do. please choose how you like to be helped Either xda or PM or g talk. at the end of the week ill count all of them up and from the results i will help people based on the results on this thanks very much.
To put the poll into better context I believe that you should also read this thread Although I've quoted the relevant posts below:
ben_pyett said:
Hello, Paul,
Firstly, thanks (again) for your input into the forum. I'm genuinely not intending to create conflict here or trying to play the role of a mod. Now, I know that you've had this sort of comment before, but, I agreed with it then and I'm afraid that I still do.
While at times the PM route can be useful to resolve issues, it shouldn't be the only or primary option. The whole principle of XDA is openness and sharing, so resolving an issue in thread permits that the next user(s) (and there is always another, who suffers from the exact same problem) from hopefully using the Search function and then following the resolution from the thread by themselves.
That way we're working towards creating a valuable resource rather than loosing useful input into hidden PMs.
PM's do have there place for 'user to user' communication, that would otherwise populate the forum unnecessarily but once a thread has been created I believe that it should be used to reolve the original issue.
If a new user needs that much hand holding then one wonders whether they should be risking their £200-£400 device in the first place! before reading up some more....

me helping people over PM is better because its faster and more safer for the person im helping. if im trying to guide him then other people jump in and comment he isnt going to know who to listen to and he will get very confused. this has happend before. by helping over PM or my gmail is better for them, and me. and i ALWAYS ask them after to write a guide as to how i helped them and what they did. i at NO point mean to upset anyone. but you have got to understand that this is the only way that i can help these people as you may well know here on xda people have got there opinions and they like to jump in whenever they want. if i tell him to do somthing some1 might jump in and say no or do this and do that. i have had EVERYONE i have helped say thanks to me and its better this way. i have helped MANY people achieve proper s-off. i will no open a poll. and it will ask the people of xda if they would prefer to be helped via PM or Gtalk or on here. if more people prefer xda then i will start helping via xda

As someone whom Paul has helped through gtalk, It was very beneficial to me as we were able to quickly and easily communicate, as any other method is rather slow and crude. I definitely do agree with your point on xda being a repository for information however, therefore communicating through gtalk or similar could withhold information from other users. However I have now written up a short guide of what I did to solve my problem on the original thread, and I believe that if people do this then everyone wins tbh, and it has the added advantage of the treads being shorter and more concise, therefore it is easier to find the relevant information.
As someone who has done all his stiff by reading through threads and others opinions, I will always advocate all discussions on XDA
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
On the 16th the poll will close and whatever the winning method is thats the way i will help people from now on. i do wish ALL people will take something out of the way i help them. as me getting them properly s-off uses alot of things like commands running adb , fastboot and so on. by helping them do these things it then in turn helps them. as if i didnt help them and they needed to to adb or fastboot commands and they never knew howto that could result in a not needed thread being opened **How to use adb or fastboot** this is a good way for me to help these people. i think people should help people the way they do and let other people carry on with the ways they do things. ( no offence meant ben your opinion means alot to me your a good person ) but if it states in the rules ( only help people on xda ) then i will stop if it dont then i will carry on as im not doing anything wrong. and even so if you guys think your losing out on infomation. i will open up a guide covering absolutly EVERYTHING on the desire s from fastboot adb changing roms,splash,radio,hboot and covering everything on what the desire s is capable of doing. what limits it has and other things. this in a sense will be the desire s XDA user guide let me know if u think thats a good isea ben. and as i go along anything i help people out with thats not in the new guide ill just update it ????????????

The one thing I would say though, is rather than re-invent not just the wheel but the car, I'd recommend that you source, link and reference as much of the existing documentation where ever possible.

[Q] How do I root a U.S. Cellular Samsung Galaxy S SCH-R530?

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S III SCH-R530 32GB from U.S. Cellular and haven't rooted it or anything. I was wondering if anyone had any instructions or tips they could give me?
Before this I had a Motorola Electrify that I successfully rooted, but since this is a newer phone I'm guessing the steps have changed since then.
I have heard stuff about some triangle sometimes appearing after rooting, and something else about a counter.
I would like to root my Galaxy S so that those things don't happen if possible.
Any help would be great, thank you! :fingers-crossed:
Anyone going to help? Thank you.

Really annoying when posts like this seem to always be the number one Google search for model# root. If they're such a problem, admins should be deleting them so they aren't everyone else's number one search hit. Yes, I know this will only make the thread come back up, but it's already #1 Google. If the question isn't worth anyone answering, no need to be in the questions and answers section.
For anyone who got here searching Google. This thread is not a guide. A link or two down on "SCH-R530 root" there's an android sc link with a guide and download. (That was just the next closest, so there's something here.)

While it may be annoying, imagine how annoying it becomes when tens of users continually ask "how do you root such and such models" without ever bothering to spend 5 or 10 minutes googling it or searching the forum they post in. Unless a phone model literally just came out, there's going to be information in more than one place on how to root that device. It becomes frustrating to many people when individual after individual consciously refuses to take 5 - 10 minutes and research what they want. I love helping people, and I regularly post in other forums, but when numerous individuals ask how to root their devices when the information is extremely easy to find by simply going to Google and typing "root [model number]" or "how to root [model number]", it shows the person doesn't really care about helping themselves (if they don't care, how can anyone else). If a person can't find the information after 10 minutes of researching on their own, then I have no complaint... but considering the vast majority of questions on how to root a device can be answered with a simple Google search, if a person refuses to make this simple effort, then I don't feel they should be told how to root it since they're expecting to be treated like a child and have someone else act as a parent.
Forums are there as a tool to help people, but that doesn't absolve an individual from the responsibility to help themselves.

I myself have landed on this page through Google & the sites search function several times, in fact in three pages this is the most relevant.

What am I missing?

So, lately I've been trying to find a use for this Verizon tablet. I currently just use it as a reader but I'd really like to just mess around with it a bit and learn how to Linux on tablet.
I can't seem to find any information on this particular device. I've tried a number of different ways and I always end up hitting a wall in the process. ...anyone got any info on how to root this Galaxy Tab E "sm-t378v".
Hint: Replace this thread's abolute meaningless title by "How to root SM-T378V" thus owners of such a tablet mainly get addressed.
...is that how helpful you need to be to become a senior member? If so I doubt I'll find what I need here.

You wouldn't get anything if you're here just for "What am I missing". If you know how to make a thread, you should know what you should write the title too right? He wasn't wrong.
As per check, there is no availability rooting that model, yet.
Great, thanks for the info. ...and now for my final question? Where is the delete account button on this website? I no longer want to be a member with such elitist people, it's pretty gross.
