chunna08: You have not completed the process.The fact that you see two 15digits numbers does not make it original. Check for your phone actual details using the same digit(s) on www.imei.info |

somehowpenis: I second that. And, I only found that sad fact out today at Computer Village, as I was trying to buy a small phone for my daughter. As a Telecom person, I have used the *#06# and other codes for as long as GSM has been around (by the way, most Nokia use the same code from time), so if I fall for a clone device, I'll probably eat my head!. But, today, I saw a Samsung Galaxy Grand that nearly fooled me. Complete with real-looking Samsung model SM-G503, or something like that, kernel and baseband numbers in the "Settings - About" screen. But something still didn't seem right to me. Especially, the OS didn't feel quite right (they likely wont go for real Google-licensed Android, but a clone of it). So I decided to check hardware qualities, and one important aspect for me is the picture quality. Go to camera settings and set the highest resolution. Shoot a pic, display it and find a menu at a corner and select "details". Check the picture frame size and the file size. The file size was what ratted them out as fakers for me. Instead of something between 1 - 5 MBytes, It was something like 400k! At highest cam resolution! Fakers will most likely use a crappy cam. i'd bet that, most clones wont fit the camera (in mp) touted in the phone's specs. So you can catch them with that. The phone seller was aghast when I returned the phone, and reminded her I wanted an original (she was like, how'd this old timer know this phone isn't original, lol). Also look out for absence of OEM bloatware. Like S-Note, S-Planner, etc for Samsung, and Xperia Lounge, Sony PlayStation, or Walkman, etc for Sony phones. If they are totally missing, it's likely a clone. Also check the security features and see if any of the schemes require you to register with the company. Better off with those real chico originals (Infinix, Giornnee, Tecno, etc) than a knock-off Samsung. 1 Like |

Ebuka2016:In that mode, you can make your phone better or ruin it beyond repair. Odin mode is where you reflash your OS, root your phone, install custom OS, repair your phone or if you are not careful, damage your phone permanently. Don't do anything there except you know what you are doing. |
