Samsung Galaxy S7: Finding IMEI with FRP lock

Tue, 08 Mar 2022 05:31:17 -0700

hey guys.

Im looking to get the IMEI off of a board i got delivered. but its FRP locked. there are no identifiers on the board itself, and the dial code *#06# doesnt work because emergency caller wont allow it.

Am i missing something as to where that should be recorded? i know iphones have the "i" at the bottom corner, but samsung doesnt appear to have it.

Sony Xperia S: How to merge Internal memory and Device memory?

Thu, 18 Apr 2019 04:18:36 -0700

Hi,

Sony Xperia S LT26i, has Device memory of 1.97GB. However there is 25GB of Internal Storage memory. Device memory is so small that more than half of it is occupied by Android, leaving very small space for applications. This in-turn slows up the device as there is very little space is remaining. I want to merge the both the partitions (Device memory and Internal memory). Can you please help me on this. My Emailid is: gaurav.whitelotus@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance!

Gaurav

I haven't been able to find the replacement screen for this model nor been able to find out if any other Sony Xperia replacement screens work with this phone.

I have a small crack on my screen that doesn't allow me to use the touchscreen at all.

Google Pixel 6a: Why is my screen tinted yellow?

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 14:31:59 -0700

Day 3 or 4 of using this new screen. Finding that the screen is now tinted yellow. I have tried going through Color Correction, Night Mode and Extra Dim to no avail. It was just fine last night but this morning I turn my phone on to find it like this. Any idea of what could be causing the problem or is this just a defective part?

Samsung Galaxy S6: Phone glitching, Custom OS warning

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 10:46:47 -0700

My phone randomly turned off. I held the power button, the home button, both of them at the same time, I tried the volume up button with the power button, I basically tried every combination of buttons I could, and it was completely blank. I plugged it in and got a battery charging sign, which alternated with the Samsung logo. I tried volume up + home + power button, and it started alternating between the Samsung logo screen and an "installing systems update" screen. I held volume down + home + power, and got a warning screen about a "custom OS" and it said to press the volume down to cancel it or the volume up to continue with it, but whenever I press one of the two it either immediately goes away or does nothing. It is currently stuck flashing between the Samsung screen and the "installing systems update" screen, both of them flash for about one second and then go away for about two (like the logo will flash for a second, then go black for two, then show the systems update screen, then go black, and it continues). It's been like this for about 2 hours. How do I fix it??

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: Camera stopped working, even after factory reset

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 12:07:28 -0700

I´ve had my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 for around 2 years now, and I have dropped it a couple of times but since it has a protective cover, there has not been real damage to the phone casing. Randomly on a morning I wanted to use the camera and when opening the camera app, whatsapp, snapchat, instagram, and even downloaded third party camera apps... The camera screen is black and frozen. Cant even switch to the front camera to test it out, everything is stuck. I tried everything I have found on the internet to troubleshoot it, but nothing seems to work. I even made a factory reset thinking it could be a bug but the same issue persisted even when resetting the OS. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
