IMEI doesn't match on FindMyPhone

Thank for the welcome, Javi .

So am update on the issue. I went to the government telecommunications regulatory authority with the phone, box, and receipts. I asked of my phone was registered or not. The person took my phone, dialed *#06# and the imei that came up, he entered into his pc which said registered. He tells me, its registered. So i take my phone and open their own imei checker app, click find out imei, and it shows a different, the original imei, and unregistered. He immediately says, yeah that phone has been tampered with.

They were helpful, to my surprise. Got all the information from me about the shop and said we'll take action cause the law says changing unique identity codes for electronic devices is punishable upto 3 years in jail and told me to take legal action if they don't return it.

I went back to the shop, i told them i was advised to take legal action and to report it to the police immediately. They returned the phone with full payment. I'm glad. I borrowed some cash friends and bought a brand new note9. Wasn't gonna take my chances with a used phone again lol.

Thanks for all the help guys. It would not have been possible without your knowledge and insight of the issue. Thanks Javi.

My note 10+ is freezing when I'm using apps

MrJavi
Im not familiar with Android 10 or the Note 10+ but what you describe it might be that the OTA update was corrupted during the download process. This not common but it does happen from time to time. In fact, I recently helped someone fix this very issue on a Note 8. No need Booting into Safe Mode is of no use after factory reset. Flashing the official firmware via Smartswitch will fix the issues on your Note 10+, however, it wouldn't be my first choice.
1 Try searching by device, carrier, and update to see if others are also experiencing the same issues.
2 Use the warranty and take it to your service provider.

Keep in mind I dont have a Note 10+.

Issues displaying XML on a Mobius framework App

benmohammad593
Really getting into the dev stuff on Android running into issues with XML wonderering if theres any one who has had these issues:
Even if I set the constraint background to a specific colour I still get the blank screen which lead me to think I wasn't doing the fragment right but it all builds and check out It's a small Login functionality app

Could this be something to do with the dependencies but I doubt it ?

There should be a button displaying progressbar etc nothing shows .......

I've looked endlessly on Stackoverflow.

Any advice or hints tips welcome .
Thanks

Social Games Without In-App Purchases???

God Z3US
Hey, I love social strategy games such a Game of War, Guns of Glory, Army Men Strike. I enjoy how the games are laid out. I enjoy the social aspect of forming alliances with other players and fighting other alliances. However, I hate the pay to win aspect of these games. The stronger you get the more money you have to spend in order to stay competitive. I would like to find a game with the social and political aspects like King of Avalon, but that I can purchase one time without all of the in-app pay to win bs.

Any pointers?

Android Password Authentication

J
Hello
I am trying to understand how the android password authenticator works in some specific app.
There is this line of code in the app:

PasswordAuthentication auth = java.net.Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication(url.host(), getConnectToInetAddress(proxy, url), url.port(), url.scheme(), challenge.getRealm(), challenge.getScheme(), url.url(), RequestorType.SERVER);

I know that the requestPasswordAuthentication function Ask the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password. It then returns the username and password and store them in "auth".

My question is where is this password stored? Where does it get the password from?

Move data from Fragment to Activity in the back

umtblbl
I have a ViewPager in my Activity. I need to return the result from the fragments in the ViewPager to the activity. At the same time, the returned data will be added to the list in the activity. So I think the example of activity should not disappear. I don't know if I do it with Bundle. Would it be a good solution to move a singleton with object? What's the best practice for this, friends?

Compatible Galaxy Note 8

mftsolutions said:
Neither can I, that's the whole problem. They said it is based on individual imei's and since I don't have one they can't check it. It is really frustrating and I can't figure it out.

Im guessing that Straight Talk needs the Imei to check if the device is blacklisted before determining BYOD compatibility. Try calling

1-877-430-CELL (2355)

Centers operate from 8AM to midnight EST 7 days a week.

Talking to a Staight Talk representative, explain your situation and ask them for advice.

Camera stopped working

Restart your phone and see if the Camera app is still Disabled in the Settings >> Apps menu.
If it is and you still can't Enable it, try restarting your phone into its Safe Mode.
https://devicehelp.boostmobile.com/scenario/Max_XL/Boost_Mobile/en/Activate_Safe_Mode
If the camera app is working normally again while in Safe Mode that indicates there's some app you've installed that creating this odd conflict. Can you think of anything you installed around the same time the Camera app stopped working?

Another thing to try is to wipe the system cache partition on your phone. The system cache is different and separate from app caches, and it's not something accessible through the Settings menu, you need to restart your phone into its Recovery Mode:
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/zte/zte-boost-max/recovery-mode/
Once in Recovery Mode you'll be in text-only user interface so use the indicated buttons to navigate through the various options and select 'wipe cache partition'. They system cache doesn't contain anything vital nor does it have anything to do with your saved files so it won't adversely affect anything. But it's worth trying in the event something like a corrupt file in the system cache is preventing the camera app from functioning.

A last resort option is to do a Factory Reset but be sure to do a full back up of your data and files. Or a less destructive, workaround solution would be to install a third-party camera app and use that instead. I highly recommend 'Open Camera'. Be sure to delve into the app's Settings menu after you insta it to take advantage of its very expansive feature set options. iar
