| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> Why does sailfish want your Imei? | 15:43 |
|---|---|---|
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> If this is a stupid question, please be gentle. | 15:43 |
| T42 | <Mister_Magister> does it? | 15:46 |
| T42 | <Mister_Magister> my sfos device doesn't have imei and sfos doesn't ask for it | 15:46 |
| T42 | <Mister_Magister> what exactly do you mean Himself Is Meself | 15:50 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> When i go onto sailfish website to download it, its one of the fields i have to input about my device. | 15:52 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> I'm gonna check it again. | 15:52 |
| T42 | <Mister_Magister> why are you asking about official port on sailfishos porters | 15:55 |
| T42 | <Mister_Magister> but to answer your question its most likely because either of jolla store or its tied to your device | 15:57 |
| mal | I think the imei is asked because the image you the official images are tied to one device so you need to tell the store the device id and in sfos imei is used as id for the device | 15:57 |
| mal | so when device later checks for new releases the store can use that imei to check that the device has valid license | 15:58 |
| mal | that is the one thing it's used for | 16:00 |
| mal | *only thing | 16:00 |
| Keto | Umm nope, "sailfish download website" does not ask for the IMEI. For unlocking the bootloader on Sony device the Sony website does ask the the IMEI, I assume the unloc code is somehow tied to that | 16:07 |
| mal | ah, it's been so long when I used store | 16:16 |
| Mister_Magister | i've never used store xd | 16:23 |
| Keto | well, it is true that Sailfish uses IMEI to identify the device to the store, but user does not need to enter it anywhere | 16:24 |
| Mister_Magister | that's what i assumed | 16:25 |
| Mister_Magister | hence more specific would be more useful | 16:26 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> Because i prefer your opinion on things (re @Mister_Magister: why are you asking a...) | 16:40 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> Your as in you guys. | 16:40 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> Thanks | 16:40 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> 'Yours' as in you guys. | 16:41 |
| T42 | <Himself Is Meself> Thanks (edited) | 16:41 |
