Looking to find the IMEI nunber for your Lenovo Z6 Pro? Read on.
An IMEI is a unique serial number that is assigned to your phone. Each phone has a unique IMEI, regardless of brand and model. Most insurance companies would ask for your IMEI because this helps them report and block the device once it gets lost or stolen.
If you’ve just bought your Lenovo Z6 Pro, it is best to keep its package box and avoid throwing that to the bin. That could be very handy when you do lose your phone and you need to trace it using the IMEI code.
There are several ways to get your IMEI number by just using your phone. The easiest way is to go to the dialer and press *#06#. The IMEI should be displayed on your screen after entering the code.
Now for those who dialled *#06# on their phones, some might be seeing two types of serial numbers. Just take note of the first one, because that is most likely the IMEI.
Aside from that, you can also go to Settings → System → About Device → Status, then scroll down to locate your IMEI number. This could vary a bit depending on your phone model. Some smartphones list the IMEI under the About Device section. So just scroll down in case you don’t see it under System or Status.
The IMEI is also often imprinted on your battery cover. This means that you have to dismantle the back cover of your phone to get a copy of it. This is rather inconvenient. If you can still access your IMEI using the phone itself, then just do so. Except if your Lenovo Z6 Pro is locked or has no power for some reason.
If you want to remove the Google Search bar, simply tap and hold the bar and a remove button will appear at top of the screen, drag the bar to that remove button, and the bar will disappear.
If this is not working, go to Settings – Applications – Application manager. Then swipe from right to left so you are on the All screen. Scroll to Google search and press Disable.
The fast and easy way to change the wallpaper on the Lenovo Z6 Pro is to tap and hold on a blank space on your home screen and then tap “Wallpapers.”
From there, you can choose any image from your gallery or from a preset selection of live wallpapers from your device.
You may also go directly to your Lenovo Z6 Pro Gallery then open an image of your choice. Once you open the image, select “More” to look for the “Set as Wallpaper” option.
You can also change your wallpaper from the Settings menu on your phone. Just follow these steps:

- Look for the Settings icon, tap and then look for “Display.” For some phones, you might want to look for “Home Screen” or “Wallpaper” right away.
- Next, tap “Wallpaper” and select which folder or file you want to use.
- Find your desired image and tap “Set Wallpaper.”
You can always use your own image as a wallpaper. However, most phones also have a preset selection of wallpapers (or live images) that can be used anytime too.
You may also choose different images each for your wallpaper and lock screen. However, you may also use just one image for both.
