How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

0) Your phone must be Rooted and have an Xposed application

If you don't know how to install Xposed and do Root, then maybe this tutorial is not for you. If you think you will know how to Root and install Xposed, read THIS article and install Xposed from THIS link.

1) Installation of Xposed module

You will need an Xposed module. Install "Xposed IMEI Changer" from THIS link for free. Enter the Xposed application and enable the module. Restart the phone (it can also be a soft reboot).

2) Save the old IMEI number

Enter the phone settings, then in the section "About the phone" and then in the "Status" and see what the IMEI is. Write it down somewhere.

3) Replace with new ones

Open the application and enter the desired IMEI number in the field. If you want to enable a random set of the IMEI number on each new request, you will need the PRO version. As I said, the change is temporary and the PRO version of the app will automatically change the IMEI for you. Now all you have to do is click "Apply" and the new IMEI has been saved!

4) Check

Repeat step 2

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.
