My Windows 10 HP Notebook doesn't recognise my Android cellphone while connected into USB port.

Thanks a lot, mikedt
These are quite a lot of points of mine below. But I hope these would be my final inquiries.


Firstly: Yes, but now you have the model name, IMEI, MEID and the printed serial number S/N of my cellphone. So, as long as my cellphone is designed by LT Mobile, and made in China, could you let me get to the my cellphone's manufacturer official website? Even if it isn't a Gionee, I think it must have a manufacturer official website from which I can download its drivers and checking out its detail specs?

Think I've already establish, I've no idea who made it. It looks like a Gionee Marathon M5 Lite, but I'm pretty sure what you've got wasn't made by Gionee, i.e. it's a knock-off, and with fakes the Chinese manufactures can be very anonymous and impossible to find. http://global.gionee.com/M5lite/index.html

"LT Mobile" is probably just a Yemen importer of whatever devices it can get from China. The only online presence I can find for them is just some free page on Blogger, which I posted earlier. There's a free Google+ "LT Mobile" group as well, https://plus.google.com/117095480686682879370 but again it's all in Arabic. But the fact they seem to be only using free Google sites and services, doesn't hold much for their credibility as a company IMO.

Secondly: why do you think when typing in '*#063', then my Android system gave me twice similar IMEI, and MEID?

A quirk in the firmware I guess, this phone does only have one unique IMEI, and one unique MEID for CDMA networks.

Thirdly: why do you think when typing '*#063' in, then my Android system only gave me twice similar IMEI, MEID, and didn't give me any SN. Though the same IMEI, MEID shown by typing '*#063' in , and SN are printed on the battery?

Usually with phones to show IMEI and/or MEID and/or ESN, it's "*#06#" from the dialler, I don't know "#063", never seen that before.

FYI, this is what I get when dialling "*#06#" an Oppo R9 Plus...

There's two unique IMEIs here,. I've partially obfuscated as I don't want them to be cloned.

Fourthly: do you think that when typing in '*#063' in any Android cellphone, then I will be given IMEI, MEID?

That doesn't do anything on the phones I've got, but "*#06#" always works though.

Fourthly: do you know any famous cellphone brands, such as Samsung, LG, Sonya Arcons, etc, having (dual SIM), two types of cellular network : CDMA/EVDO", and GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks, which can be functioning simultaneously?

The Oppo dual-SIM phones I've got do that, and I know dual-SIM Samsungs do as well, provided they got Snapdragon rather than Exynos processors, as Samsung's Exynos SoC doesn't support CDMA/EVDO.

Fifthly: I only know the cellular network type "CDMA" which goes with, for example 'Yemen mobile', and GSM, which goes with, for instance, SabaFon, MTN, Wai. However, What kinds of SIM carrier can go with EVDO?

Well the only CDMA/EVDO network I know and have used is China Telecom, and I know of Verizon and Sprint in the US. If you have a CDMA/EVDO carrier, then you must use an appropriately specified phone, that's it.

Are you sure all those (Yemen?) carriers you listed are actually CDMA/EVDO networks and not the more usual GSM HSDPA? Because as I understand now CDMA is only really used in the USA(two carriers) and China(one carrier). And other countries like Canada shut-down their CDMA networks in favour of GSM HSDPA, which is pretty much global.

Sixthly : what do you call the USB port of cellphone, which was broken(defective)? You call it a power jack? I can it a power jack on my HP notebook?It costed me about US $9.5 with fixing service???? Though I know how to fix my HP notebook power jack if defective. But, I have never ever tried to take apart any cellphone at all.

On the phone technically it's a micro-USB port, but some new devices are going over to USB type-C now, which is reversible. These are standard on all phones, apart from Apple iPhone.

Finally: Sometimes I see that my cellphone is sown in the the "safely remove hardware and media". when it has been still connected to my Windows HP notebook. So, I can remove it safely. Though even when removing it safely, I can still access files on the media as long as it has been still connected to the HP notebook.

That does usually mean the device can be safely unplugged, without any danger of causing corruption or other damage.

However, now

when connecting my LT mobile to my Windows HP notebook using USB cable branded with a Ph( a non- LT-branded USB cable- Screen shot below) purchased from a market, I found my Windows HP notebook recognized my cellphone and there was icon of "LT_M5_Lite" shown under my 'device and drivers'. However, my LT mobile icon was not shown in the "safely remove hardware and media". Though it was listed in the "Devices and Printer". So, I couldn't click on "eject this my cellphone". So, I had to remove my cellphone from my HP notebook without removing it safely.

Also, When connecting my LT mobile to my Windows HP notebook using its USB cable that came with it or using another USB cable branded with a LT(screen shot below) purchased from a market, my Windows HP notebook recognised my cellphone and there was icon of "LT-M5 Lite" shown under my 'device and drivers'. However, my LT mobile icon was NOT shown in the "safely remove hardware and media". So, I couldn't click on "eject this device" to remove it safely.
Though the connection options were shown in both cases, and LT_M5_Lite was in the "Multimedia devices".

Sounds like the USB cable you got now is working. But the phone might need drivers for Windows to recognize it correctly, which may come from the phone's manufacturer, but here we don't know who they are. Maybe you could try contacting LT Mobile via their Arabic Google+ group?

I don't use Windows myself, I have Macs, and don't usually connect my phones to computers, and I transfer files via WiFi using Airdroid... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

That page on Blogger has the right specs of my cellphone. But, there is no option to download drivers. Also, it isn't official website as you said.

A quirk in the firmware I guess, this phone does only have one unique IMEI, and one unique MEID for CDMA networks.
Usually with phones to show IMEI and/or MEID and/or ESN, it's "*#06#" from the dialler, I don't know "#063", never seen that before.

There's two unique IMEIs here,. I've partially obfuscated as I don't want them to be cloned.
That doesn't do anything on the phones I've got, but "*#06#" always works though.

1- Yes, it must have been "*#06#". "*#063" was a typo.

2- But you think the unique IMEI is designed for GSM cellular network, and one unique MEID for CDMA? If so, then what is the unique designed for EVDO?
3- why you have gotten two different IMEIs, and no MEID? However, I got twice similar IMEI and MEID?
4- Neither have I partially obfuscated the IMEI, or MEID, nor have I obfuscated the IMEI and MEID as I have not recognised that they could unmask my safety.

The Oppo dual-SIM phones I've got do that, and I know dual-SIM Samsungs do as well, provided they got Snapdragon rather than Exynos processors, as Samsung's Exynos SoC doesn't support CDMA/EVDO.

That would be really recommended to be purchased if I found an Android cellphone having dual SIMs one of which is designed for CDMA/EVDO cellular network and the other one is designed for GSM. However, you only mentioned SIM-dual phones( dual-SIM Samsungs) you've got don't support CDMA/EVDO. So, you both SIMs are for GSM networks?
Could you please give me the online sellers websites who offer dual-SIM Samsungs Android phones supporting both CDMA/EVDO and GSM? It would be better if you have given me the dual-SIM Samsun's sellers on eBay since they could receive their money by using my Yemeni billing address, and they could ship the items to be purchased to wherever I want them to be shipped since there is no direct delivery to Yemen right now due to political issues.

Well the only CDMA/EVDO network I know and have used is China Telecom, and I know of Verizon and Sprint in the US. If you have a CDMA/EVDO carrier, then you must use an appropriately specified phone, that's it.

Are you sure all those (Yemen?) carriers you listed are actually CDMA/EVDO networks and not the more usual GSM HSDPA? Because as I understand now CDMA is only really used in the USA(two carriers) and China(one carrier). And other countries like Canada shut-down their CDMA networks in favour of GSM HSDPA, which is pretty much global.

1- Yes but you only have known and used the CDMA/EVDO network which is China Telecom? You don't have any GSM networks in China.

2- yes, I have both a CDMA/EVDO carrier and GSM carrier. CDMA carrier is Yemen mobile which is government-supported carrier. And GSM carriers are MTN, Sabafon, Wai. They are non-government-supported carriers.

As long as I have both Sabafon(GSM carrier) and Yemen mobile (CDMA carrier), I have decided to purchase a dual SIM LT mobile supporting CDMA/EVDO carrier, and GSM carrier .
3- My LT mobile has one SIM slot which is SIM2 only dedicated to insert GSM SIMs and the other SIM1 slot can be global into which I can insert "GSM" SIM or "CDMA/EVDO" SIM. I. e. I can have two GSM SIMs inserted into my cellphone. Or, I can have one GSM SIM and one CDMA/EVDO SIM. I cannot have both CDMA SIMS since one SIM slot is only designed for GSM.

4- I don't know what EVDO stands for?
Also, you think the SIM1 slot is global slot into which I can insert either GSM or CDMA/EVDO SIM because EVDO in "CDMA/EVDO" means the same GSM carrier system?

5- yes, I am sure there is only one CDMA carrier(Yemen Mobile) across Yemen which had originally been designed by a Chinese or Korean company in about 1992. The first biggest cellular carrier in Yemen. The oldest mobiles of it's were designed by a Chinese or Korean company that manufactures mobile phones called with "Curitel".
However, since then, other GSM carriers appeared across Yemen in the beginning of 1999. However, all these are GSM carriers, such as, SabaFon, MTN(MTN merges with Spacetel of Yemen) and Wai.
6- what do you think the highlighted part in "GSM HSDPA " means?

On the phone technically it's a micro-USB port, but some new devices are going over to USB type-C now, which is reversible. These are standard on all phones, apart from Apple iPhone.

Yes, that micro-USB port was replaced with another new one since the issue I was having was because the micro-USB was broken. I put it in the LT agency to be repaired. That micro-USB port was repaired for $9.5 US including fixing service. You think micro-USB can be replaced separately if defective?

That does usually mean the device can be safely unplugged, without any danger of causing corruption or other damage.

But I am expecting that when ejecting my cellphone safely, then I could be no longer accessing to files on it even if it has been still connected into the USB port of notebook. However, I could still have accessed to files as long as it was still connected into a notebook USB port.

Sounds like the USB cable you got now is working. But the phone might need drivers for Windows to recognize it correctly, which may come from the phone's manufacturer, but here we don't know who they are. Maybe you could try contacting LT Mobile via their Arabic Google+ group?
I don't use Windows myself, I have Macs, and don't usually connect my phones to computers, and I transfer files via WiFi using Airdroid... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

After the micro-USB port of my cellphone was repaired, in the first time in which I connected my cellphone into my notebook using a new LT-branded USB cable, I noticed there was "driver thumb" shown in the "device and drivers" section in Windows explorer. So, the cellphone was being shown in "safely remove hardwares and media".
But, since then, neither has cellphone been shown in "removable hardware and media", nor has the "drivers thumb" still shown again whenever reconnecting cellphone into my notebook USB port.
Now, you think I can continue removing/unplugging cellphone without being safely removed since no icon of it shown under the "removable hardware and media". Do think this action mean the device can be safely unplugged, without any danger of causing corruption or other damage? I don't think so since it was not removed safely.

 

[a cooperator]

Could you please reply to my final previous points posted one day ago, mikedt?
I know there are quite many points, but most of which need a little bit information to be answered.

 

[mikedt]

Thanks a lot, Mikedt
That page on Blogger has the right specs of my cellphone. But, there is no option to download drivers. Also, it isn't official website as you said.

There's not much else can be done about that unfortunately.

1- Yes, it must have been "*#06#". "*#063" was a typo.

2- But you think the unique IMEI is designed for GSM cellular network, and one unique MEID for CDMA? If so, then what is the unique designed for EVDO?
3- why you have gotten two different IMEIs, and no MEID? However, I got twice similar IMEI and MEID?
4- Neither have I partially obfuscated the IMEI, or MEID, nor have I obfuscated the IMEI and MEID as I have not recognised that they could unmask my safety.

Quite frankly I don't know for sure what exactly is going on there, I don't have any CDMA network SIMs. And perhaps China Telecom although it is a CDMA network, they issue regular SIMs and just uses IMEIs rather than MEID, that's just a guess. I've only ever had experience of Chinese phones on CDMA networks with China Telecom, in China.

That would be really recommended to be purchased if I found an Android cellphone having dual SIMs one of which is designed for CDMA/EVDO cellular network and the other one is designed for GSM. However, you only mentioned SIM-dual phones( dual-SIM Samsungs) you've got don't support CDMA/EVDO. So, you both SIMs are for GSM networks?
Could you please give me the online sellers websites who offer dual-SIM Samsungs Android phones supporting both CDMA/EVDO and GSM?

Many dual-SIM phones just do not support CDMA at all. Myself the only countries I know of that uses CDMA is the US and China. You can't use dual-SIM phones in the US with Verizon or Sprint CDMA networks, because they just won't register and activate grey imported dual-SIM phones, which leaves just China Telecom, in China of course, and Yemen Mobile, which I didn't even know about. In fact I even read mention of the US eventually shutting down CDMA networks, like Canada did previously.

1- Yes but you only have known and used the CDMA/EVDO network which is China Telecom? You don't have any GSM networks in China.

2- yes, I have both a CDMA/EVDO carrier and GSM carrier. CDMA carrier is Yemen mobile which is government-supported carrier. And GSM carriers are MTN, Sabafon, Wai. They are non-government-supported carriers.

We have two GSM networks in China. China Unicom and China Mobile. All are state owned, but they are run as completely separate enterprises. I'm currently with China Unicom, which is definitely GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.

As long as I have both Sabafon(GSM carrier) and Yemen mobile (CDMA carrier), I have decided to purchase a dual SIM LT mobile supporting CDMA/EVDO carrier, and GSM carrier .
3- My LT mobile has one SIM slot which is SIM2 only dedicated to insert GSM SIMs and the other SIM1 slot can be global into which I can insert "GSM" SIM or "CDMA/EVDO" SIM. I. e. I can have two GSM SIMs inserted into my cellphone. Or, I can have one GSM SIM and one CDMA/EVDO SIM. I cannot have both CDMA SIMS since one SIM slot is only designed for GSM.

4- I don't know what EVDO stands for?
Also, you think the SIM1 slot is global slot into which I can insert either GSM or CDMA/EVDO SIM because EVDO in "CDMA/EVDO" means the same GSM carrier system?

EVolution Data Optimized, ...sheesh...they must of thought of that AFTER creating the acronym Basically it's the 3G high speed data sequivalent to HSDPA, but for CDMA networks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution-Data_Optimized

5- yes, I am sure there is only one CDMA carrier(Yemen Mobile) across Yemen which had originally been designed by a Chinese or Korean company in about 1992. The first biggest cellular carrier in Yemen. The oldest mobiles of it's were designed by a Chinese or Korean company that manufactures mobile phones called with "Curitel".

6- what do you think the highlighted part in "GSM HSDPA " means?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access#High_Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access_.28HSDPA.29

Yes, that micro-USB port was replaced with another new one since the issue I was having was because the micro-USB was broken. I put it in the LT agency to be repaired. That micro-USB port was repaired for $9.5 US including fixing service. You think micro-USB can be replaced separately if defective?



But I am expecting that when ejecting my cellphone safely, then I could be no longer accessing to files on it even if it has been still connected into the USB port of notebook. However, I could still have accessed to files as long as it was still connected into a notebook USB port.



After the micro-USB port of my cellphone was repaired, in the first time in which I connected my cellphone into my notebook using a new LT-branded USB cable, I noticed there was "driver thumb" shown in the "device and drivers" section in Windows explorer. So, the cellphone was being shown in "safely remove hardwares and media".
But, since then, neither has cellphone been shown in "removable hardware and media", nor has the "drivers thumb" still shown again whenever reconnecting cellphone into my notebook USB port.
Now, you think I can continue removing/unplugging cellphone without being safely removed since no icon of it shown under the "removable hardware and media". Do think this action mean the device can be safely unplugged, without any danger of causing corruption or other damage? I don't think so since it was not removed safely.

Frankly I don't know for sure there, other what what I've already said. One thing, I never use Windows, I have a Macbook, and I just don't connect phones to computers usually, except to charge occasionally.

Quite frankly I don't know for sure what exactly is going on there, I don't have any CDMA network SIMs. And perhaps China Telecom although it is a CDMA network, they issue regular SIMs and just uses IMEIs rather than MEID, that's just a guess. I've only ever had experience of Chinese phons on CDMA networks with China Telecom, in China.

Thanks a lot, Mikedit,
However, you told me previously the following:
IMEI means International Mobile Equipment Identity, which is for GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Station_Equipment_Identity
MEID means Mobile Equipment IDentifier, which is used for CDMA/EVDO networks. Which does go with what you posted previously: "SIM1: YemenMobile, cellular network type: CDMA"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_equipment_identifier

1- so, if CDMA network SIMs issued by China telecom only use IMEIs and don't use MEIDs, then that would contradict what you stated before that IMEI is for GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks, and MEID is used for CDMA/EVDO networks.

2- even if your CDMA network SIMs only use IMEI, then why have you gotten two different IMEIs as long as you have cellphone supporting a single CDMA network SIM? Does your cell phone support dual SIM?
3- my cellphone supports two SIMs, one of which, which is SIM2, can only be for GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks. However, the other one, which is SIM1, can be global, which does go either with "CDMA cellular network type SIMs , in my case, it is YemenMobile, or with GSM cellular network type SIMs , in my case, they are Sabafon, MTN, Wai.
Thus, I think that I get twice similar IMEI and one MEID after typing "*#06#" since my cellphone can support two GSM network SIMs or one GSM SIM and one CDMA SIM. I.e. I got two similar IMEIs since SIM2 slot is only for GSM networks, using IMEIs , and SIM1 slot can be for either GSM, using IMEIs, or CDMA network SIMs, using MEIDs.

We have two GSM networks in China. China Unicom and China Mobile. All are state owned, but they are run as completely separate enterprises. I'm currently with China Unicom, which is definitely GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.

1- in your first part you said that "I've only ever had experience of Chinese phones on CDMA networks with China Telecom, in China.". Then, you said "I'm currently with China Unicom, which is definitely GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.".
So, what kinds of cellular network do you have? If you have an only-dual-GSM-SIM cellphone, then that is normal to get two different IMEIs since each SIM slot will be for a GSM SIM, using a different IMEI. However, my cellphone can support either two GSM SIMs OR one GSM and one CDMA. The SIM1 slot can be for either GSM or CDMA SIM. However, the SIM2 slot is only for GSM SIMs. Thus, I get two similar IMEIs, and one MEID.

2- but, why you have gotten two different IMEIs, and no MEID if you are currently with GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.
Does your cellphobe support an only-dual-GSM SIM in order to get two different IMEIs?

3- Note typing *#06# in cellphones returns with two IMEIs even without installing any SIM. Thus, you think typing *#06# in all dual-SIM phones in China can return two different IMEIs. If so, that is strange behaviour since mine returns two similar IMEIs. Mine should return two different IMEIs, and one MEID to be normal.

EVolution Data Optimized, ...sheesh...they must of thought of that AFTER creating the acronym Basically it's the 3G high speed data sequivalent to HSDPA, but for CDMA networks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution-Data_Optimized

I have not come across EVDO, I think I will never come across such a network. You have seen it.

Finally:
Could you please give me the online sellers websites who offer dual-SIM Samsung Android phones supporting both CDMA/EVDO and GSM? It would be better if you have given me the dual-SIM phone's sellers on eBay since they could receive their money by using my Yemeni billing address, and they could ship the items to be purchased to wherever I want them to be shipped since there is no direct delivery to Yemen right now due to political issue

Mikedt, I know that I took a quite a lot of your precious time. But, I hope these are final enquirers. Thus, I hope you reply to my points as much as you can.

Thirdly:
When I started my notebook for the first time, and then connected my cellphone into a USB port of my notebook, then I noticed that there was a CD drive shown as "UsbDrviverSetup"(screen shot below). That was only shown once, and only whenever startting over my notebook, and connecting my cellphone into a USB port of my notebook. There also was an "Eject CD Drive: UsbDrviverSetup" option in "Safely remove hardware and eject media".(screen shot below). When clicking on 'Eject CD Drive: UsbDrviverSetup', then that "CD Drive:UsbDrviverSetup" became ejected, and was no longer shown, which means that this option was only dedicated to eject "CD Drive:UsbDrviverSetup" , and no need to eject cellphone safely from a notebook USB.

Though the 'charge phone' was selected in how to use this cellphone through the "connection options" . So, "LT_M5_Lite" thumb was NOT shown, which means that this cellphone was used as file transfer or view pictures.

As a result, I think "safely ejecting/removing this cellphone while connected into my notebook" is not required since that option cannot be shown. However, I can control over as to how to use this cellphone while connected into notebook through the connection options, charge phone, view pictures, and file transfer.

I tried exploring the "UsbDrviverSetup", and I found out that "Mobile phone driver(Version, V2.6.6.0) setup", and I tried installing it, but there was no difference was noticeable.





Finally:Could you please give me the online sellers websites who offer dual-SIM Samsung Android phones supporting both CDMA/EVDO and GSM? It would be better if you have given me the dual-SIM phone's sellers on eBay since they could receive their money by using my Yemeni billing address, and they could ship the items to be purchased to wherever I want them to be shipped since there is no direct delivery to Yemen right now due to political issue

Thus, I think that I get twice similar IMEI and one MEID after typing "*#06#" since my cellphone can support two GSM network SIMs or one GSM SIM and one CDMA SIM. I.e. I got two similar IMEIs since SIM2 slot is only for GSM networks, using IMEIs , and SIM1 slot can be for either GSM, using IMEIs, or CDMA network SIMs, using MEIDs.



1- in your first part you said that "I've only ever had experience of Chinese phones on CDMA networks with China Telecom, in China.". Then, you said "I'm currently with China Unicom, which is definitely GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.".
So, what kinds of cellular network do you have? If you have an only-dual-GSM-SIM cellphone, then that is normal to get two different IMEIs since each SIM slot will be for a GSM SIM, using a different IMEI. However, my cellphone can support either two GSM SIMs OR one GSM and one CDMA. The SIM1 slot can be for either GSM or CDMA SIM. However, the SIM2 slot is only for GSM SIMs. Thus, I get two similar IMEIs, and one MEID.

2- but, why you have gotten two different IMEIs, and no MEID if you are currently with GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.
Does your cellphobe support an only-dual-GSM SIM in order to get two different IMEIs?

3- Note typing *#06# in cellphones returns with two IMEIs even without installing any SIM. Thus, you think typing *#06# in all dual-SIM phones in China can return two different IMEIs. If so, that is strange behaviour since mine returns two similar IMEIs. Mine should return two different IMEIs, and one MEID to be normal.




I have not come across EVDO, I think I will never come across such a network. You have seen it.


Thirdly:
When I started my notebook for the first time, and then connected my cellphone into a USB port of my notebook, then I noticed that there was a CD drive shown as "UsbDrviverSetup"(screen shot below). That was only shown once, and only whenever startting over my notebook, and connecting my cellphone into a USB port of my notebook. There also was an "Eject CD Drive: UsbDrviverSetup" option in "Safely remove hardware and eject media".(screen shot below). When clicking on 'Eject CD Drive: UsbDrviverSetup', then that "CD Drive:UsbDrviverSetup" became ejected, and was no longer shown, which means that this option was only dedicated to eject "CD Drive:UsbDrviverSetup" , and no need to eject cellphone safely from a notebook USB.

Though the 'charge phone' was selected in how to use this cellphone through the "connection options" . So, "LT_M5_Lite" thumb was NOT shown, which means that this cellphone was used as file transfer or view pictures.

As a result, I think "safely ejecting/removing this cellphone while connected into my notebook" is not required since that option cannot be shown. However, I can control over as to how to use this cellphone while connected into notebook through the connection options, charge phone, view pictures, and file transfer.

I tried exploring the "UsbDrviverSetup", and I found out that "Mobile phone driver(Version, V2.6.6.0) setup", and I tried installing it, but there was no difference was noticeable.

I think we've already exhausted everything I know about this phone, any more and were going around in circles, OK?

Finally:

Could you please give me the online sellers websites who offer dual-SIM Samsung Android phones supporting both CDMA/EVDO and GSM? It would be better if you have given me the dual-SIM phone's sellers on eBay since they could receive their money by using my Yemeni billing address, and they could ship the items to be purchased to wherever I want them to be shipped since there is no direct delivery to Yemen right now due to political issue

Unfortunately I can't really help with the political situation in Yemen, civil wars, etc. But usually for buying imported dual-SIM phones I recommend Amazon. Maybe Ali Express for direct imports from China. If these ship to Yemen or not, I have no ideas.

Wow! There's a lot going on here!
Have you tried using a file explorer for the phone, like ES file explorer?
And transfer files by WiFi or Bluetooth to the laptop or PC?

I think we've already exhausted everything I know about this phone, any more and were going around in circles, OK?

Mikedt, You helped me and answered me a lot, but my questions you ignored to answer are related to what we had discussed previously. I need to be enlightened for all of these questions below. So, no circles would be in since this is the final result of what we have discussed before.

Quite frankly I don't know for sure what exactly is going on there, I don't have any CDMA network SIMs. And perhaps China Telecom although it is a CDMA network, they issue regular SIMs and just uses IMEIs rather than MEID, that's just a guess. I've only ever had experience of Chinese phons on CDMA networks with China Telecom, in China.

However, you told me previously the following:
IMEI means International Mobile Equipment Identity, which is for GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Station_Equipment_Identity
MEID means Mobile Equipment IDentifier, which is used for CDMA/EVDO networks. Which does go with what you posted previously: "SIM1: YemenMobile, cellular network type: CDMA"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_equipment_identifier

1- so, if CDMA network SIMs issued by China telecom only use IMEIs and don't use MEIDs, then that would contradict what you stated before that IMEI is for GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks, and MEID is used for CDMA/EVDO networks.

2- even if your CDMA network SIMs only use IMEI, then why have you gotten two different IMEIs as long as you have cellphone supporting a single CDMA network SIM? Does your cell phone support dual SIM?

3- my cellphone supports two SIMs, one of which, which is SIM2, can only be for GSM 2G, HDSPA 3G networks. However, the other one, which is SIM1, can be global, which does go either with "CDMA cellular network type SIMs , in my case, it is YemenMobile, or with GSM cellular network type SIMs , in my case, they are Sabafon, MTN, Wai.
Thus, I think that I get twice similar IMEI and one MEID after typing "*#06#" since my cellphone can support two GSM network SIMs or one GSM SIM and one CDMA SIM. I.e. I got two similar IMEIs since SIM2 slot is only for GSM networks, using IMEIs , and SIM1 slot can be for either GSM, using IMEIs, or CDMA network SIMs, using MEIDs.

We have two GSM networks in China. China Unicom and China Mobile. All are state owned, but they are run as completely separate enterprises. I'm currently with China Unicom, which is definitely GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.

1- in your first part you said that "I've only ever had experience of Chinese phones on CDMA networks with China Telecom, in China.". Then, you said "I'm currently with China Unicom, which is definitely GSM HS DPA, and LTE 4G as well.".

EVolution Data Optimized, ...sheesh...they must of thought of that AFTER creating the acronym Basically it's the 3G high speed data sequivalent to HSDPA, but for CDMA networks.

I have not come across EVDO, I think I will never come across such a network. You have seen it.

I know you cannot help me with the political issues in Yemen if the great Russian, Chinese, German, and Korean responsible couldn't have helped us. We know no one in this world have enough courage to say to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and their allies, USA, stop bombing Yemen, and withdraw all their bases and lift the siege.

However, I want you to mention to an online seller who offer a daul-SIM phones supporting both 'GSM' and 'CDMA'. I know that Amazon never ship to Yemen, and futhermore, selles on Amazon don't accept to be paied from a billing address different than a shipping address. However, some selles on eBay can accept to be be paied from a billing address different than a shipping address.

Could you, Mikedt, please address my last points repeated twice to end this matter?

Could anyone please answer my final post since I think Mikedt has been sort of busy these days?
