hello
i test this G920F cant see memory size

A friend of mine turned me on to this app. I love it. It's helpful with some phones that are difficult to get into the hidden menu. But my favorite part is seeing the usage screen, and seeing how many times the charger and headphone jack has been plugged in! I buy and resell phones, and fix them, and your app is really useful.
QUESTION: I paid for the full version, but I can't load that onto each phone I sell (I put it on most phones, to test and check the age and usage and whether it has been refurbed). I can't put the paid version on the phone via USB because of the phones being clean, not connected to Google play auth. Is this normal? Is there anyway I CAN do this?

It is Google's policy that user can only install paid app on devices that has the Google account used to purchase the app. You can install the free version instead.

Ok, no problem. Thanks for the app, it's useful and good looking.
EDIT-- Does the S7 not have the headphone and power connector counters? That was one of my favorite things to see, but I just got my S7 and that info isn't there...

Those info still there. But since Android 6.0 Marshmallow, it needs root to read the usage counters, as well as the 'Original CSC' information (in the tab 'CSC CODE').
If you have root, you will see those info.
It is due to the fact that Samsung has strengthened its security policy, sorry about that.

New update (version 3.4.3) is available.
What's new: Fixed minor issue in the 'Firmware Browser' menu.
Enjoy.

thank's , lovely app , if i want to change my csc in my multi csc firmware , i must be root or not ??

The answer is most likely Yes.
It is due to Samsung security policy.

New update v3.4.4:
- Added Camera info (in the HARDWARE tab)
- Bug fixed for OTA Update checking (in the FIRMWARE tab)
Enjoy and please feedback.

I am using an XFA CSC for South Africa while using King ROM, everything seems to work fine including Wifi Calling but with S-Health due to my region the Sp02 and Stress tests are blocked in the app. When I had the stock King or Renovate CSC this was working. Beyond using an Xposed module to unlock this is there a way for Phone Info to do this?

New update version 3.4.5:
- Reduced number of full-screen ads.
- Fixed minor issue in the 'Firmware Browser' menu.
- Fixed some translations.
Please update and kindly feedback.

Great App !!!
I have been using it since S4 times , works great gives lots of useful info , gets better in every new version
Working great in my S7 !!
Thank you @vndnguyen

New update (version 3.4.6):
Fixed CPU Instruction Set (32/64-bit) info.

even on Android 5.1.1 you can't still see usage counters, how many times your phone got charged etc. tried it on galaxy s6 edge plus.

OK, I see. Not only in Android 6.0 but also in some Android 5.1.1.
It is due to the fact that Samsung (not Google) has strengthened its security policy in the latest firmware. So you need root to bypass this barrier.

New update, v3.4.8:
- Added missing sensors, and added more details about sensor (name, vendor).
- Added 'Note7 Recall Check' button (in the 'Other Tools' menu).
- Some bug fixes.

Great App

[APP] Paperless List (UK Market only)

Last Friday I uploaded my Android app Paperless List to the Market (UK only). It's a shopping list application driven by the Tesco API . It has the usual scan barcode and search functions but with some unique features:
-Horizontal swipe gestures (only on Android 1.6 or above) or context menu to cross off items
-Manually add items
-Total price of list visible at all times
-Using chrome to phone on the Tesco.com website, products and searches can be sent straight to the phone from a PC. This works on Froyo (Android 2.2) only and requires a sign in to the Tesco.com site on the PC. More on that here: http://ubikapps.net/?p=618
-Froyo (Android 2.2) apps to SD compatible
-Action bar and dashboard design patterns utilised for quick access to main functions
Despite using the latest Android features the app runs only requires version 1.5 (cupcake) or above. I know I am not the first with a Tesco app on Android but I started development on mine before the others appeared.

I'll let know how I get on
don't think this is your problem (can't see how it is tbh) but the C2MD thing doesnt work.
I just get
Error sending to phone: ERROR (Unable to send link)
I have checked to make sure i'm on the latest version on my N1 and Chrome and the phone is registered and i've signed in and out on the chrome side of things!
Anyone else come across this

Hi bewA, thanks for trying out my app. I just tried it and its working on mine (with Chrome to phone plugin V0.3). Chrome to phone goes a bit weird sometimes if you install a new version. Try restarting Chrome and trying again. Oh and BTW for the first time you do it and have to sign in, it won't actually send the link to the phone. You have to send it a 2nd time (after signing in).
Ill give it a slap
Thanks

Hey,
This APP is amazing for someone like me who constantly forgets to buy stuff, my wife has to write me lists which I usually lose or leave at home, Now she can send stuff from home straight to my phone, which I always have on me.
(That could be a major selling point BTW, you leave work, switch on your phone & get a list of shopping.)
Keep up the great work, it's nice to finally start getting useful apps for a change instead of another stupid Fart app.
just put it on the wifes phone, it didt find tescos own brand of dog food but every thing else worked.
Cool, gonna try this out

Currently it only displays the first 20 search results (for speed). If you search for "dog food" then there are probably more than 20 results. In a future release I will change this so that you can click on a "More" button to get the next 20.
You can always scan the barcode of the product if you have it handy!

[FIXED]Smart Lock- Trusted Places

Why isn't there any option for "Trusted Places" in the Smart Lock settings? This is supposed to be one of the features of Lollipop that I want to enable. Am I missing something?

UPDATE: Thanks to Kenkiller. Reboot, after installing Google play service apk, I now have the option. (There seems to be an issue with tapatalk uploading image so I will repost screen shot when it's fixed)
I found several sites mentioning it and they provided links to the latest Google play services apk. But after installing the latest apk, I still don't have the option.

I installed a new version before confirming the Shield Tablet's play services version number. I installed the -438 version from the apkmirrors site. I didn't notice the instructions on comparing version numbers until after Would anyone be so kind as to confirm if I installed the right version or not? Thanks.
I installed - 438 and it's working for me after reboot.
My play services ends in 736, but do not see an updated version for this version.

I'm not sure what I had previous to updating to -438 but I'm just glad it's working now. Why don't you just install -438?
I can confirm: original installed version on mine is 6.1.88 (1557022-736).
According to the notes:
-x36 is supposed to be for 320 DPI & armeabi-v7a CPU
-x38 is supposed to be for 480 DPI & armeabi-v7a CPU
So using -438 looks like it's the wrong DPI for the Shield tablet. There may be more differences as well.
-4xx vs. -7xx there isn't a clear difference outlined - perhaps Nexus device vs. other?
Might be better to wait until a 6.5.87+ for -736 is released..

I installed it and it does work. It works when the GPS can check where you are. In my house it's 50/50 if it works for trusted locations since Maps tends to see me as being 2 house down when I'm in my house. So .. yeah. I still have to do the 4 digit pin over 50% of the time.
It's a start.
Never mind, just updated on its own.
Me too - just updated via the Play Store and got the -436 build.
Trusted places would be better if it used connected Wi-Fi networks as a validation - I'm in a building and with Trusted places the way it's currently set up, the whole building appears as a trusted place instead of a specific apartment/unit...Perhaps a feature for a future version...

Most probably not going to be implemented as wifi networks can be easily spoofed. You can just imagine the tech idiots going to town with that info saying how insecure Android is with such "slipshod" security.
Just implement it yourself with secure settings and llama/tasker.

Agreed - that's why I said 'connected' Wi-Fi (not just SSID based) - of course, this likely means you'd have to leave Wi-Fi on during sleep, but I'm fine with that (actually prefer it).

hmmmm... I think if you have pattern set up as your security method you can't program with tasker (even with secure settings) that when connected to certain wifi you get no pattern unlocking....
I use Skiplock for my 4.4.4 device and the author has mentioned that this app will not be able to work on Lollipop due to the way it handles this security issue, even with root.

Is there any reason why I should not have the Smart Lock feature available? I don't even see it in settings. I have play services v 6.5.88 (1599915-836).

Work profile custom keyboard problem after updating to android 8

Hi,
I have a problem and I do not know how to resolve it. I have a work profile on my phone (Samsung Galaxy s8+) and everything has been working fine until now.
Today I updated to android 8.0.0 Oreo from android 7.0 and after that I did a full wipe. When I restored all my apps and settings I decided to log in in Device Policy app to create work profile.
Everything was succesfull but after a while I noticed that keyboard changed back to original Samsung keyboard. So I went to settings and tried to change keyboard but I could not do that because it was disabled by admin. The problem is that I can not use custom keyboard in my work profile and in my personal profile either. If it was only in work profile I would understand that but I do not know why it is disabled in my personal account.
I went throught G suite admin console but I did not find the option how to disable this behaviour so I think it is Oreo behaviour or it has to do something with Knox.
I do not know where is the problem. It was working fine on android 7.0 but now I can not use custom keyboard.
Can you please help me how I can make custom keyboard to work on my phone without deleting my work profile?
Thank you very much

Yep I'm having this issue now. Sucks!
Ultimately I had to disable the work profiles and let the device policy take to the entire phone.
Same problem here, S9+
Do you know if it is problem with Oreo in general or just on Galaxy with Oreo?
I do not have other device with Oreo so I can not try it.
I do not want to disable work profile and have device policy to takeover my device.
Same issue here on S9 Oreo. Is there a way to not use Workspace/Knox as it seems like a bug in that?
my first time posting in XDA.. in a really long time.. S9+ oreo. .same issue.

I've tested on a Oneplus with Oreo and all good
Same problem on S9+. Defeats the purpose of Work Profile imho... I was not able to enable Gboard, Swype or SwiftKey. I'm demoing InTune for my company, and by default there are no device restrictions, especially nothing about third-party keyboards or settings, etc. So it seems to be Knox-specific, with no way to actually control those settings that I've found yet.
Side note: deleting the work profile (that is, removing the Company Portal app, which removes the rest) restored my ability to select my own keyboard.
Now, I know keyboards can collect whatever data you type... but I specifically allowed Gboard (for example) as an approved app within the Microsoft InTune admin center, and I *still* couldn't enable it.
Samsung: please explain.

I've logged a ticket for Samsung and they made a troubleshooting. They said it was a incompatibility from Google Device Policy and Knox. Also, the technician told me to send an email to GDP Developers. I will do this week and forward the answer (if) here.

I spoke to gsuite support who confirmed its a problem between Knox and GDP - they directed me to this forum!
"It seem to be caused by an incompatibility from Google Device Policy and Knox, in relation to security policies. I would suggest to contact Samsung for further troubleshooting in relation to this. The only workaround at this time is to not use a Work profile on your Samsung device"
sad news to read the last replies as that means it is unlikely to be addressed anytime soon. I love the Work Profile but hate the native keyboard on S9+. I guess I'll have to get used to it....
Note 8 user here with the same issue. Super disappointed and hoping for a quick fix..
I just got latest security update from march 1st but the problem with keyboard remains.
Did someone came with the solution?
Does Samsung know about this problem?
I've e-mail now to GDP Developers explaining all the situation.
I'll post here if any reply.
Cheers
here's the answer ???
They just don't care.
There is also a small change which doesn't appear very important to most people but it does to me In previosu version of Android (Nougat) keyboard in regular environment and Knox could be set to different languages, which was really cool for me, since I lie abroad and use different languages for work and private. So in Knox I could have Czech keyboard all the time, while when I switch bakc I'd automatically have Serbian. Now it just inherits the setting to the last set keyboard... ugh
I installed CRC5 leaked build (public is CRC2) and the issue is still present. I'd like to bang my head against the wall.
A G-Apps user replied this:
Samsung unified the Work Profile and Knox workspaces, and one of the changes is that there is only 1 input method allowed unless the Knox IT admin whitelists other 3rd party keyboards.
I've yet to figure out how this whitelisting works or its basis. I think it's an awful policy, especially considering ir forces you to use the even more awful Samsung keyboard.

Always on display limited on A8

Hi everyone,
I posting here to point out how limited is the Always on display feature on this phone.
Before getting in the subject, what is Always on Display (aod) ?
AOD is a native Samsung feature (it does exist on other phone with different names) that allow smartphones to show informations on the screen when it's off. This feature is useful not to have to turn the screen so many times in the day to check the notifications and hour. This is a feature made possible with AMOLED screens allowing black pixels to stay off and those prevent the screen using much battery.
Now that everyone know what we are talking about, I can show you what I mean and where I want to go with this thread. Here is a screen from a Samsung Galaxy s8:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here on from the A8 :
What appears is that we can't use images even if it is teased on the play store description of the aod app. Here a screen from the play store :
And we cannot use the edge clock.
Finally, the number of backgrounds and customisations is very poor : a very few amount of colors and 4 backgrounds.
I've been looking for a way to use the edge clock, or an image and couldn't find any.
The only partial solution I found for images is an app called Custom AOD
If you have anything to add, or any suggestion, feel free to comment

Thanks for the info. I just bought an A8 through Virgin, I'm in western Canada and hoping to get the update this month...the wifi reliability has been terrible and I've done all the troubleshooting I can. I don't want to send it for warranty (only had it 3 weeks) until I get Oreo and see if it was a software issue that was resolved with the Oreo update.

About customisation with Oreo: I find it even more restrictive. the background isn't an option anymore. We don't have edge clock (and probably never will since it has been made to fit with the curved screen). Also we still cannot pin images. The only step forward is the access to themes through the store, but let me tell you a thing: it's actually always the same style with just different colors and a different image (that you cannot change by yourself ).
I'm being so negative because I see a lot of potential, I'm always disappointed with those features that doesn't allow personalisation but don't get me wrong, I really like AOP ?

also yes the wifi is VERY bad, i only get half the speed of my wifi and sometimes it even disconnects
this is not a warranty problem either, its supposed to be like that apparently because i sent my phone to warranty and they said it was a software problem...

Mh so right now AOD app features are basically same as high-end devices ones lol (expect edge clock; not sure if it needs just the SecProductFeature string put or if it needs even all the Edge apks/frameworks). If you wanna get some more features (even if I doubt there are lol) open /system/etc/floating_feature.xml file, search for the AOD Feature string (SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM) and delete "-fhd_limit," feature.

If you wanna get some more features (even if I doubt there are lol) open /system/etc/floating_feature.xml file, search for the AOD Feature string (SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM) and delete "-fhd_limit," feature.

Thanks for the idea, I'm not rooted tho, I'll wait until the garanty expire before doing so, but I keep the idea in mind. My hope for that feature goes to Android P(if we get it .. in about a year ?) , they can clearly improve it, it's already cool, but it feels so limited speaking of customisation.

It's just as it should be lol, if Samsung continues to add more **** like gifs or more colorful ux on AOD it will drain lot more of battery even tho the phone goes in Doze, and 10% more of battery isn't bad to have

I have tries some method below.
1. create folder named "ota_package" and copy file without rename into it (not work), if rename "update.zip" (not work too).
2. create folder named "ota" and copy file without rename into it (not work), if rename "update.zip" (not work too).
3. call *#*#1027#*# (not work too)
currently i have contact support from official blackshark via email and they're reply:
"
Hello
Plz leave me your Imei, Mp3 patch is at grey push which means small scale, and you should get it soon.
Best Regards,
Black Shark Global
"
so i just wait now.
This is the latest version of MP3. You can use it if you like.
This update will add shark chan to your smartphone.
PROS2110220OS00MP3
Hello! i ask for your help, i have a Black Shark 4 8/128 SHARK PRS-H0 JOYUI 12.5 21.07.31 PROS2107312OS00MP2, Patch 2021-06-01.
Every day I discover new bugs:
- at every reboot, the "exchange synchronization email" must be put back into PUSH
- at every reboot, the SIM call alert, must be disabled beacause does not remain set
- menus not translated correctly, i use the language in Italian, but some menus are in Polish? Or unknown...(in "performance manager")
- i have 2 sims inserted, when receive calls from the second sim the "phone" menu does not appear on the screen but I only see the graphic notification and the ringtone. I have no way of responding except with other devices such as watches or cars.
- there is no way to access the contacts directory from apps (whatsapp ...)
- there is no way to upload multiple photos in chats, there is no way to view the photo gallery correctly when selecting images, many times the chosen photos are not uploaded for "not found"
- the side menu, even if disabled in "game" mode, always appears
- absurd bluetooth! the first connection with devices always disconnects. example: I get into the car and connect the speakerphone, the first call arrives, I answer from the car and the phone disconnects the speakerphone and switches to the phone capsule, I have to press the phone icon and reactivate the speakerphone. Ditto with bluetooh headphones.
- reboot random frequently
- many bugs with whatsapp, the photos that can be selected are only those in the "whatsapp" directive, those in the gallery are unusable
- gallery non display always photo in the phone from another apps
- the address book is not viewable by the apps (example: whatsapp does not find the address book)
..every day a new bug!
I wrote to Xiaomi Italia Support, they could not help me after indicating the IMEI code.
I wrote over and over to the email of the site https://global.blackshark.com, no response.
I have written in several unanswered FB groups, no responde
I wrote the form on the site https://global.blackshark.com with no response.
The amazon support is ready to return the device within 60 days
The seller in amazon recommends me to reset the device and then replace it
I have read several threads here where there are newer MP3 updates compatible with my MP2, but I can't load them.
I have read about the release of JOYUI 13 but nothing is known yet.
Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Thanks
(sorry, i'm using Google translate)
I finally got the new update.
عقال الرووووت
I wish someone would be so kind and explain to us the difference between the different updates
اتمنى لو اي احد يتكرم ويشرح لنا الفرق بين التحديثات المختلفة
@AboNaya You brought me luck ....
hopefully good for my bugs ..
Hi, unfortunately the update (from 600MB) did not bring any resolutions:
- assistant, beautiful, but useless
- new drop-down menu, iphone style (which I hate) and with further bugs introduced (I can no longer view the single email and delete or archive it)
- system stability: boh?!?
- bug fix: no resolution
Either they move to release 13 .. or I will have to change faction, here a lot of power but little software ... and support
For me, I deleted the wretched assistant, and I did not find the problems that you mention here. By the way, what is the dropdown list you mean?​
these are the modified screens. and a bug on the address book ..
for the problems, which seems to have only me, I will try with the complete reset. even if I have problems I will change my phone.
any of you use two sims and duplicate programs?
Hello again I advise you to reset the phone completely and you will be fine because I use everything I mentioned and there are no problems. I wish you success

Hello,
I reset the phone. Configured the accounts and made the first tests.
- the "call waiting" setting is reactivated at each restart, not resolved
- cloned whatsapp app, activated the first number, configured, I try to retrieve the contact in the address book, "not found", not solved
- call test on the two sims, for now the answer menu always appears, solved?!?!
- menus in "performance" not yet translated ...
- some features appeared that weren't there before, like the ability to change the "control center style", great!
- the other problems (bluetooth, reboots, etc) I will have to test them in the next few days
Unfortunately we are at 80% for the device change.
It really is a disappointment ..
Hello again, I was hoping to help you or any of the members if he could
But in general, these problems that you are facing now, I have not encountered them at all
My advice to you was that recovery is often helpful and helps a lot in such problems
And believe me, I am surprised. These problems are very strange. Did you or someone else not convert the Chinese version to a global one, for example, or vice versa? I think that these problems occur in such cases only
I just got BS4 (2 days ago) global version, 12/256 updated it to latest version and i didn't notice any of problems you guys are facing. Did you try to change region or something like that. For example i live in Europe but my region is set to US on phone and everything works as it should. Only thing that bother me is that we cannot use gesture navigation with third party launchers.
