Impossible site! I can login, but I can impossibly register the phone. It asks for a serial number, but there's no field to enter that number. It keeps sending me to the method how to find that serial number... Only thing I can fill out is my (unlisted !) provider and the date of purchase. No way to enter a serial number!

You need to put the Imei number not the serial number and See If Your registered via the same email (assuming you already registered from the Motorola ID and Turned On Motorola Privacy From Settings)

See If You've done These...

I registered everything about two weeks ago or so when I received my moto g4 plus and never had the option to enter the MFN. Neither the opt-in nor the option per device.

Well, I got this far... Apparently somehow my device was already listed! Guess I'm starting to get senile, because I don't remember having listed this phone...
Nevertheless: my old phone (Moto G2 2014) is listed also. Though I opted in in 2014 I never got an invitation.
The phone I'm typing this on is listed as a regular G4, but it actually is a G4 Plus! (but they have the right serial number...) Furthermore it says I'm in the US, but actually I'm Dutch. I have no option to opt-in for MFN for this particular phone, though I'm opted in for MFN in general (for my old Moto G 2014?)
Nevermind. I'll get along. This is absolutely not a user friendly site. At least not when you're not from a country where they expect you to be... And The Netherlands is a very, very small country!

It says that for my phone also. They want you to send a proof of purchase. But, since my bootloader is unlocked, my warranty is gone anyway!

[Q] how to verify S3 Developer Edition authenticity?

If you have access to the phone, I believe you can look at the sticker under the battery. I think the Developer editions read "DE" or "DEV" on the sticker.

Yes, thank you. I'm already aware of Swappa and its ESN checker. I'm not worried about whether the phone will work or not.
Rather, I wanted to know if there were hardware/software indicators that would let me know whether the phone is actually a developer's version. The ESN check doesn't tell you the make/model of the phone. And IMEI.info gives incorrect information (says it's a Nokia 1616).

So yes, it says Developer Device inside. Is that the only indicator? Thanks!
Now, I'm wondering if there is any indication in the software. I realize the bootloader is unlocked but does it have a different version number or anything?

The hardware is different on the H950. Its got 1GB more RAM for starters. There maybe differences with the radio and LTE bands due to it being an AT&T phone.

Lonnie: As of now its scheduled to be before end of year.
Me: ok thank you.
Lonnie: You are welcome
Hate to the bearer of bad news but I used to work for att in a call center. I initially did customer service, then tech support then chat. NO ONE in the call center knows anything about updates, new services or devices until that info is available to the general public. I'm not saying we won't have it by the end of the year but if we do whoever you chatted with had no way of knowing that for certain beforehand.

As for battery life on my 950, I have no issues, maybe you need a new battery? Maybe it's a placebo but I disabled mlt and I use the battery saver function and I noticed a significant increase in battery life
Sent from my LG-H950 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Ok Appleknight,
How do you disable MLT on a non rooted H950? I've tried all of the dialer codes to access the service menu but non seem to work for the H950. :crying:
When I also say bad battery, I'm comparing it to my previous LG G2 which has the same screen resolution (but a less efficient LCD,) and the same capacity battery. Under identical conditions, the GF2 would be dead when the G2 still has 30% in the bank.

How to know if the phone is new and never used or not ?

How to know please if my phone is new or not? Knowing that the box was opened and unsealed when I received it?
I installed the application "Phone INFO" but apparently since Android 6.0 it is only possible to know this "counter informations" (Number of times of the USB cable and headphones have been connected) by rooting the device before.
But my Snapdragon-based model is not yet rootable, so it's not possible to get this counter informations via the "Phone INFO" application.
So, how to get this informations otherwise? Or what other application can give me this please?

I live in France, and I ordered it on Internet at a Ebay UK shop apparently known and serious, which themselves received the product from HK.
Following my question, they sent me this answer:
"All items are brand new, original and unlocked.
Some of the items may not be sealed in Asian market.
The item will be undergone quality assurance process, original box and
Seal may be used as a warranty.
But the answer does not reassure me, and I want to check if the product is really new?
How to contact Samsung please?
Is there any other way to know if the phone has never been used?

It's best to return it, I'm from Asia and i never bought unsealed phone, I've even been to HK and even bought Moto Milestone few years ago and i got it sealed, i even bought an iPhone 5S from Singapore once, i got it sealed pack and i live in India, even in India i always got sealed phone
Sometimes it can't be sealed because some phones are region locked and need to be opened to place a 5 min Phone call to unlock the region lock
Use the app "charge cycle counter" to read how many times the battery has went through a full cycle. It will read the info from a text file on the device that will survive any reset to the device.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.cerebrum.ChargeCycleCounter
I know the screenshot says it only counts since the app was installed, but that's not the case with Samsung phones as the battery stores the info
Thank you all.
The app "charge cycle counter" is not reliable.
It would be a shame to return the phone if it is really new. I want be sure...
Other solutions please?

Since the latest firmware of Samsung, it needs root to read the Usage Counters, as well as the Original CSC.
It is due to the fact that Samsung has strengthened its security policy. It is NOT the app's mistake.
If you have root, you still can see those info.

Huawei removing bootloader unlock codes for all huawei and honor devices

Such sad news, I literally got my device today!
The problem for me is that even though I could unlock my device now, the pull of users and developers to this device is going to plummet to zero on xda , there won't be any (or very few) ROM's, adopters will avoid the device... It's a horrible move from huawei who have a sponsor partnership with xda?? Xda have said they're going to fight it but my guess is huawei may look at their wallet rather than their hearts and stick to their guns.
By all accounts it's "to provide a better service". ???
I have a cooling off period for another 13 days.
If things don't change in a week I'm sending this wonderful opportunity phone back.
Never again
https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-stop-providing-bootloader-unlock-codes/
Edit: all that being said, I like this phone too much, even runs ppsspp and dolphin the same as the onelus 5 did, I've unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted and now it's running perfectly.
Going to give it a chance.

In the same boat mate, received the phone on Wednesday, got the bootloader unlock code sitting in my email index waiting to be used....and now I see this.
In two minds about the whole thing, on one hand love the phone it seems pretty damn great to me, only want to root for 2 issues (not fault of phone, just personal preference) but on the other hand, lack of ability to unlock bootloader will kill the community here. Do I keep it, unlock and just roll with it, or do I send it back and get something else (Galaxy Note or S9+ probably, community there aint dead lol)?
Have to have a good think about it over the weekend I think.

Avoid the galaxy unless you like baggage and more rules, if I was to buy another phone it would be the HTC 12, no doubt about it.
Personally I've used the unlock code twrp installed and I'm rooted.
Phones a beast, I personally think Huawei will decide against their decision, by all accounts HTC did the same and look what happened to them
Currently looking at debranding from the L09 to the L29 as updates are more timely. Either that or wait for some ROMs to drop.
I'm keeping it now, it's swayed me.
Although I'd I could get the HTC I'd do it in a heartbeat, epic development on XDA.

Since the phone is treble enabled we can use GSI. So theres no "real" need to have an active development community dedicated for this phone only.

You don't necessarily need to convert from L09 to L29 to get faster updates, you just need to change region from 782 to 432. The L09 & L29 firmwares are interchangeable and are released together but it's UK specific updates that are lagging behind.
Saying that, I don't think there's a way to convert to 432 without being converted to L29 in the process anyway lol

You don't necessarily need to convert from L09 to L29 to get faster updates, you just need to change region from 782 to 432. The L09 & L29 firmwares are interchangeable and are released together but it's UK specific updates that are lagging behind.
Saying that, I don't think there's a way to convert to 432 without being converted to L29 in the process anyway lol

Nah me neither, think it's L29 or nothing.

When used yes.
You just got the *'s and #'s the wrong way around, it should be:
*#*#1357946#*#*

Like i said, when I tried to get product ID the code was certainly right. To that message i took it out of memory, and did not remember it right. Funny, i can get for example imei code with right "dialer code" but not that product code. How to proceed? Would like to get unlock code, to be on safe side if I some day (probably sooner than later) want to use it.

Got it to work, just needed to make phones original dialer default dialer... And, well, knowing me, I'm just moments away from unlocking bootloader and rooting

Which version of TWRP did you use? The official one or the non official one? Both have threads in these forums, but the official one seems to have more complaints and problems in its thread.

I used the one packaged with the all in one tool in one of these threads, its not the official one.

Such sad news, I literally got my device today!
The problem for me is that even though I could unlock my device now, the pull of users and developers to this device is going to plummet to zero on xda , there won't be any (or very few) ROM's, adopters will avoid the device... It's a horrible move from huawei who have a sponsor partnership with xda?? Xda have said they're going to fight it but my guess is huawei may look at their wallet rather than their hearts and stick to their guns.
By all accounts it's "to provide a better service". ???
I have a cooling off period for another 13 days.
If things don't change in a week I'm sending this wonderful opportunity phone back.
Never again

Edit: all that being said, I like this phone too much, even runs ppsspp and dolphin the same as the onelus 5 did, I've unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted and now it's running perfectly.
Going to give it a chance.

Keep hold of the bootloader unlock code you got as if they go ahead with removing the service, they're likely to release updates in the future that will relock unlocked bootloaders on install. You should be able to re-unlock with the same code but it's a pain as an update won't wipe data but then having to re-unlock will ?

Yea I've got it pal, all good. Triple back up.
Is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked now, without unlock code of Huawei??

There's another site that does them.
Can't recall the name.
Just ordered the P20 Pro today after I upgraded my partners one yesterday to the P20. Its looks a fantastic phone so I had to go one better and get the pro. I got the unlock code for hers and will request mine tomorrow. Is there any need to use the unlock code? I don't plan on hoping for a better ROM as the stock one looks pretty reasonable to me.

It is but rooting etc has its benefits, you've only got to go on a few threads here to see that.

Scammed !! Please help - Samsung S20 region locked

hello,
yesterday i purchased S20 SM-G980F/DS on a local facebook marketplace from what seemed to be a reputable seller based on his FB profile. We met and he showed me the phone and i had forgotton my sim card removal tool so was unable to put the sim in straight away however the phone was booted up and looked good. It was my fault i should have check but after we made the deal i found a pin and put my sims in. One 3 ireland and the other VF ireland. It took ages for the sims to register on the network and call setup and quality was awful, I kept dropping calls.. At this point i was home and attempted to contact the seller as i suspected something was wrong and then realised he blocked me on both Facebook and the phone number was switched off. I contacted Samsung Ireland and they had a quick look and told me the phone is actually panamanian !! and it could be region locked!! I have began trying to change the CSC code using the *#272*IMEI# but the dialler doesn't let me into any menu to select an Irish network. I'm not even sure this is the issue with the phone and i'm hoping that any experts on here may be able to help better than Samsung who were of no help at all. Thanks in advance

yes, if i can find him .... I will
In the meantime though i hope that I can change the region of the phone.. I have been following tutorials but they are all dependent on Android 10... Problem i have there is that i cannot find Android 10 with the same binary bit (A)
Request Stock ROM from manufacturer.
