Just switched the phone on to check. It's now showing IMEI 0, IMEI SV 62 and Baseband M8974A-2.0.50.2.30. I'm no expert but that doesn't look good. Funnily enough, everything apart from calls and SMS is working fine.

OK, I've contacted LG support for advice, though I don't hold out much hope. Looks like it'll be a 'Spares or Repair' back on Ebay.

Hmmmm. Seems odd that it would take from January until now to wipe it.

Bought Nexus 5 on Ebay a few months ago. Rooted it, installed custom ROM (Lineage 14 among others) debloated, etc, all worked fine until recently when it stopped registering that there was a SIM card in the phone. Closer examination showed complete absence of IMEI number and Baseband version...

While debloating my wife's newly rooted S5 i came across a hidden "Baby Monitor" app. Turns out Samsung included it with the S5. You leave the phone beside a sleeping baby and if it detects any noise it sends an alert to a Samsung Smart Watch. As my youngest just turned 18 I binned it but it...

Finally got up the courage to try again. Success!! Thank you. Now I need some more help. See my new thread.

Re: Remove track numbers from songs If the track number is part of the filename to start with then there's nothing for it but to change the filename which will have to be done track by track. If the track number is a tag which is being displayed then something like Mp3tag might be able to...

It's easy enough to get hold of a replacement button on ebay. Fitting it, however, will either involve removing the glass to fit it from the front or dismantling most of the phone to fit it from the back. Neither impossible but time consuming and tricky. If it's the micro-switch behind the...

Many apps have to be installed to internal memory or they won't work. What you can do is create a 2nd partition on your SD card and use the app Link2SD to store your apps there while keeping them linked to the phone memory. The Plus version of the app will also link data and other files. I...

Re: i want to upgrade my android version of s3 mini from 4.1.2 to a higher version I installed a Kitkat based ROM called 'Carbon'. Very sleek and extensively customisable.

I really loved my old Nokia 7110. If they were to give that an update (tri or quadband, colour screen, camera, mp3 player, etc) I wouldn't have to buy another phone.
