This handset is less than a year old, why not just send it back for software upgrade?? As you are from the UK also, not many people do know this but all mobile phones now have a 24 month warranty (they dont tell you this to stop you from taking your phone back but this is EU law)
just found out this is a world wide problem is so bad that some operators who sold the phone are asking for there return!!

touch wood i dont think this has ever happeded to SE before but it has happened to nokia a couple of times!
glad we can get around theses problems!!
What's up everybody.. I think I'm posting this in the right section anyways so as you can tell by now ima total android Noob first droid phone (Motorola Milestone)... I bought it second hand for 75$ with a brand new housing and screen and digitize and unlocked when I brought it home it was running fine on rogers then I wanted to learn how to root it and put Roms on it and all that fun stuff so I flashed it and flashed the vulnerable or whatever.. And then I through a CynogenMod 7 on it and booted up without incident. well that was at like 3 A.m so I woke up grab my phone and caught the bus I was going to text and noticed I had no service (kinda normal I live in the country) But when I got to school I still had no service but the phone still recognized the SIM as Rogers but didn't ask me for the unlock code.. so whats up? Is it unlocked or not? Do i have to get it unlocked again? what's going on please help me
Hi there,
First post so first up let me just say hey been lurking on here for awhile but never needed to post before! I seem to have had the worst luck ever, purchased two samsung phones first off a galaxy s2 off ebay which I was really looking forward to using and then an s8000 from cex which I wasn't looking forward to using so much. I've spent a lot of time unlocking and sim unlocking them only to find out they are both IMEI blocked, I've spent a lot of money on them and even when i've taken them into the operators they have been no help even going so far as suggesting I have stolen both of them. I don't really want to give up on either phone but spending £100 on a z3x box just for two phones is a bit much, so I wanted to know if there's anyone in london with a z3x box who would be willing to help me. I understand that it probably looks a bit dodgy asking on a new account like this but I can only assure you of my sincerity. I'll understand if no one is willing to help but if anyone is could they please get in touch with me.
Thanks for your time.
You need to get your money back from ebay and cex, shouldn't be a problem, always get imei no before buying, if they don't provide it, they are hiding something

well i don't know about that...why would anyone want to change imei intentionally
file a FIR in police that's best you can do...or track if that SIM is used again

Describe how you were carrying your phone, pants pocket (front or back?) or top shirt pocket ?
Did you take it out and place it on a table somewhere and found it disappeared or did it disappear by pick pocket.
Try to think hard about this, if the same gang operates there, go back and hang out at that mall, chances are the same characters will be there again. Were you in a crowd at any time, with people close to you. waiting in a line with people really close. These are the places these guys can strike.
Had read how somebody lost his phone, picked out of his top shirt pocket, whilst waiting for a food order to arrive. So there is a crowd of people with hands going up and over your shoulder, gentle pushing & shoving. This is a great way to pull a phone out especially if you happen to be under 5 foot 10. It just takes a tap on the opposite shoulder to distract and the crook has lifted your phone already
For this to work it matters where you are facing, if you are looking away from your top shirt or pant pocket then its easy otherwise it won't work. These guys know this and pick their marks carefully.

They won't track it using the IMEI, but they can easily block the IMEI so it'll be a useless brick, and the thieves won't be able to use it on an Indian network (and possibly other foreign networks)

Yeah i do know but the thing is even they are having trouble blocking imei too i have been at service center for more than 3 hours simply useless they tried a lot but useless
Meh! I miss the good old nokia days... Where whatever you do(flash new firmware, factory reset, reformat) the security code just persists and won't let you use the phone until you key it in.

good questions, why is op ignoring this post...
plz help me
+Nikhilmendu how did your friend change his imei on his xperia L because I lost my imei on my Xperia l.Plz help nikhil
These apps, like android device manager etc are almost useless (useful only if the thief is a rookie) coz they will be desynced as soon as the email id is removed from mobile (via flash or any other way)
Regarding imei, try contacting all the network providers, i dont know if it will be easy task to do considering there are many providers plus you may need a strong source or reference to convince them, but when any mobile is connected to a network(and things like sms or call are sent from that mobile), its imei is sent to the database of the network to keep record...
Hi guys! So .. I wanted the Z since release but I couldnt affort it back then .. so i saved my money and I was able to buy a used one (but still with the printed film on it) with simlock for cheap (because of the simlock) .. then I removed the simlock and Im actually ready to go .. while ive been doing all this and earlier I read articles about the phone .. everyone loved it .. So then i ordered it. Now i should be ready to go but while searching for some good custom roms on here ive also took a look into the troubleshooting thread...and i found some very major problems .. for example the lifting backplate when the phone is heating up or in sunny and warm weather conditions...that wasnt that much of a problem for me tbh...but then I found the posts about the sudden cracking screens or back glasses when taking it out of the pocket or because of changing weather conditions ... so that made me really concern about my device and I stopped using it now. and im thinking about selling it (its still has the printed film so its still kinda new) and getting an HTC One or something .. but i actually want to keep the Z I love the design and the ability to get a 32gb (or even 64?) micro sd card in it ...I also know about the flaps wearing out soon but I dont rely on the waterproof thing anyway . I also noticed that there have been much more english people complaining about cracked glasses .. when I take a look at german forums or enter the problem in google there arent that much people complaining (maybe because of the climate thats different in germany) ... so .. what would you suggest me to do? Id also like to know how much people there are that have the phone (nearly) since it was released and are still happy with it .. and id also like to know some more MAJOR problems..so hopefully you can help me and give me an advice!
greetings
