This is one of the most Important and useful feature of Mobileuncle MTK Tools. Most of the people don’t know what’s IMEI No., IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a 15- or 17-digit code that uniquely identifies mobile phone sets. The IMEI code can enable a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) or UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service) network to prevent a misplaced or stolen phone from initiating calls. In simple words, if you lose your device’s IMEI no, you won’t be able to use your Telecom services like making calls, sending messages. Most of the time, after installing any Custom ROMs or Recovery you might loose your IMEI no. which would mess up everything. We have written a detailed guide about, How to Backup/Restore IMEI No. in Mediatek devices. You can refer it if you lose your IMEI in any case.

If you have very Poor Internal memory & you keep Installing new Apps everyday. You might encounter Low Storage issues which will ultimately slow down your device. To make your phone faster, you can Install Apps directly in SDcard (Use a Class 10 SDcard for best Performance). Most of the Apps like Link2SD, Mount2SD offer the same feature. But, you can use this App for all in one options. Just select default storage as SDcard & you are good to go!

10. Enable AP

In a wireless local area network , an access point is a station that transmits and receives data (sometimes referred to as a transceiver). An access point connects users to other users within the network and also can serve as the point of interconnection between the WLAN and a fixed wire network. Each access point can serve multiple users within a defined network area; as people move beyond the range of one access point, they are automatically handed over to the next one. A small WLAN may only require a single access point; the number required increases as a function of the number of network users and the physical size of the network. This option in Mobileuncle MTK Tools lets you change the Access points. You can refer this guide: here.

11. Boot into Recovery mode, Bootloader, Reboot & Shutdown System

I don’t think, I need to explain you about this feature. Few users face lot of problem in rebooting to recovery mode or fastboot ,bootloader mode. Its because different smartphones have different key combinations to boot into this modes.
