[q] tricked into buying gs4 demo phone - General Questions and Answers

I recently bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy s4 off of Craigslist. I checked the phone, made sure it charges, calls, texts, and works with my carrier. Everything was fine until I came home and the demo ads kept popping up whenever I stopped using the phone. I then realized I just got ripped off, and after various attempts of trying to contact the seller, I finally gave up.
Is there anyway to stop the demo ads from popping up? Everything else in the phone works just fine. I just want to get ride of the ads!
PLEASE HELP!

Sorry, I didn't exactly understand your question... but can you show me an example (screenshot) of how those ads looks like? Because I have no idea what kind of ads you're getting on your GS4... If you're talking about seeing ads in apps downloaded from Play Store then that's normal..
AND YEAH, take a look at this thread, it might help you with solving your problem... :good:
And if all else fails then try Factory Resetting the phone and see if that helps...

I got it. You can flash the firmware from sammobile.com for your device.
These generally are display phones and goes to screensaver mode in which samsung ads are played.

Heres a link of the add that keeps popping up

I tried factory resetting the phone, and it didnt work. I visited a lot of verizon stores and they said its a demo phone, and there is no way to remove the add. I paid 400 dollars for the phone, and now I really dont know what to do. Is there really no way to get rid of it? Everything else is fine.
Thanks in advance.

I have owned a Samsung device before I suggest installing the drivers and flashing the stock firmwear through Odin
Use kies for simple driver installing http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
A list of stock firmwares download the correct one for your device http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
And the Odin download and form if you have questions on how to use Odin I'll try to answer them or another xda member can http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841

It's in retail mode.
If you go to Playstore and download APK Manager and open the app you will find an installed app called Retail Mode... uninstall and job done! No more demo video!
Good luck .

I managed to get rid of the demo screensaver by flashing! Thank you so much! Now that one problem is solved, another has come up. The demo contacts keep showing up, and every time they show up my saved contacts get erased. What can I do to prevent this?

Anyone know how to get Craigsnotifica

Anyone know how to get Craigsnotifica ? It was the best craigslist notification app on the market and it's gone. I just wiped my phone and flashed a new rom and on purpose didn't do a backup (wanted to start from scratch) but didn't expect this app to just not be on the market anymore.
Any ideas?

I also could really use a copy of this, as I'm in the same boat.
Once I receive it, I will share it across 2 Dropbox Accounts, Google Drive, and a Minus account.
That's four mirrors for the price of NONE!
A PM or a reply, either or.
Thanks in advance.
I discovered a funny little trick, which is the reason I've been able to keep the app: I use the market app Appbak to create a text-file backup of all my installed apps. When I go to reinstall my apps, the app uses that list to go to each app in the market, and if Craigsnotifica is on the list, it WILL show up in the market!
Of course we should all keep a copy of the apk on our sdcards/computer.
Here is the apk: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/com.mufumbo.craigslist.notification.android-1.apk
has anyone noticed that in the past week the app stops displaying the content of posts? it shows the title and the footer, but the main content is missing. I sure wish someone could pickup the dev of this app, as it is, as somoene else posted, the best CL app out there.
thanks.

Does anyone have an alternative to Craigsnotifica? The other applications I've tried don't have the RSS style and multiple item tracking that I have learned to love...

Yeah, i noticed that too. Not sure why, maybe something changed on CL and the app hasn't been updated in so long.
I don't know if any of you will like this one, but i've been using cPRO craigslist client droid from the market. it does notifications, but they seem to use a lot of battery. But It works pretty well for me searching and browsing.

Thanks alot. I love this app...been using it for couple of years now. The latest version doesnt show the body of ad. I wish it worked though!
Its hard to understand why the developer took this app off the market...did he stop developing it?
If so, someone should carry on the button!!!

I changed the settings and got it to show the body/text along with the pictures etc to show on each ad. Prior to that I would have to click on the peace/craigslist symbol to see the whole add and not just the pics and location.
Once I opened the app and got into the menu I seleced Preferences/Storage/Cache Ads Data (checked the box) and all new post and searches now work like it used too showing the text etc and are also available off line to review later. I am using version 3.28
I am still using it on my G2x until it just flat out does not work anymore. All the other apps I've found just don't compare and all seem like carbon copies of each other.
Now I just need to figure out how to remove the ads since I can't purchase the full app.
Very sad. I tried this and the results came up empty for everything. Every other Craigslist app is crap in comparison to this apps simplicity.
Anyone try this other app in the market yet? It seems really simple, yet has all the features like notifications and posting even. I haven't put it thru it's paces yet tho...

Maybe it's possible your mobile browser is sending the incorrect User Agent (I don't even know how) - does this happen no matter which browser you use ? What if you uninstall and re-install the browser ?
If that doesn't work, I think it's their problem that they need to fix.

I just bought this model number today. Is this firmware just for people that bricked their phones? I rooted mine today without issue and hope that there will be all the other goodies available like on my samsung phone. The guy at Sprint told me that there were already custom roms and recovery, but I found out he was wrong.
Can't find it anywhere on that link. I wouldn't mind having a stock unrooted restore in hand. This is all that's preventing me from rooting.

MagicJack also works for free phone call's. They give you a random Florida or Wisconsin number when you make a call, and no one can call you back, but for free it's nice. I think if you have a MagicJack hardware device you can use that number with the APP and have in/out calls free over wifi. It works very well with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (unlimited data plan) on wifi tether

[Q] Galaxy Essentials

Hey everyone! So I don't know if I crazy or just blind but how do yoy find all of the downloaded samsung apps in the galaxy essentials app. It popped up and said I had 5 updates but when I went there it just brought me to the home page and I am having to hunt for the apps I have downloaded to update them. Is there not a My Apps page like the playstore? Someone please tell me what I'm missing! Thanks!
Oh and I'm on the Verizon variant of the note edge.
You mean the Galaxy Apps store? They're under purchases.
Weird thing is I don't have an option to see purchases. Where do you view purchases?
Here is what the menu loos like.
you have to sign in first after that you can find the purchase

I am signed in. You can see my email address that I blocked out. I have tried singing out then back in again and still won't show purchases. I even bought a damn app and still nothing. What the hell.....
Really strange! !!
In my opinion clear data and cash in app manager
Are you rooted?
If yes, try making a nandroid, resetting, and seeing if the store shows the option then?
Which note edge model are you on?
Or perhaps a less extreme option, wipe data for Galaxy Apps in Titanium? or just from settings if you don't have Titanium.

Flow this stractuer
That confirmed the main issue. I don't have that app. I only have galaxy essentials from the menu button under the app drawer. Can anyone pull that galaxy app apk and post it to see if I can install it. I have been unable to find it anywhere on samsung website.
It's not in my app drawer or in my app manager.
Search in all app if you don't have it in there something wrong with your Rom!
I'd have to agree. If you don't have that app, there's something SERIOUSLY messed up with your rom.
I attached the apk I pulled from my sprint phone. See if it works. It's supposed to be a system app so I'm not sure how that'll work . . .
(Sorry for the delay. My upload speeds are TERRIBLE (like 42KBps or so))
So after screwing around with this most of the day I eventually reformatted and started from scratch with no success. I read over on a Verizon note 4 that some of them didn't have the galaxy apps on their phone either. Can anyone with a Verizon Edge chime in to see if you have the galaxy app please.
Oh and thanks for everyone helping out and posting. I appreciate the help.

Everything else works fine and I can even update the apps from the essential widget. Thanks again for posting the apk.

Ugh. I'd say your best option would be to root, but then that's not an option for Verizon . . . You could take it to the shop and see what they say about it. There's no reason to NOT have the Galaxy App store. And if Verizon's removing it on purpose, that's ridiculous.
And if you think apk for international model could be useful let me know
