If it's not there, then the website may have moved it The title of the page should read, samsung GT-I9100.
There's a lot of information here, and I don't know where to look. As you can see after opening the link, none of the lines say, "Chipset name". That would be too easy.
To avoid any confusion, please refer to Owner's Comments for the phone's real name, as was given on its box.
The difference between this, and what you'll read under General Specs / Manufacturer / Model, is my own doing -- an attempt to get Google Play to stop telling me that apps compatible with Android 2.3.5 wouldn't run on my phone. When I sideload these "incompatible" v_2.3.5 apps, they run just fine. I thought letting my phone identify itself as a more-common brand might help.
? Can anyone please point me to the line that gives this phone's chipset, and much appreciated if you could also decipher the abbreviation into a recognizable company name ? ?
Bump!

Howdy, it looks like what you are looking for is called "reverse modem tethering" this is a feature that you'll have to do some reading and a little of command line commanding but most devices on the market now have this somewhere allowable.
Some things to consider doing or reading up on:
modem tethering; (reverse or otherwise) this is the act of sharing a data connection from one device to another, there are many methods now available. Add 'wifi' , 'bluetooth' , and or , 'USB' to your Google search quarries.
Specs; (your computer(s) and your android phone/tablet/phablet) when you post back with more questions provide some of this information so others can direct you to more specific information or methods to solve your question.
ADB; (otherwise known as Android Debugging Bridge) is a very complete but somewhat unfriendly way of taking full control of your device though the USB port; there is also a wireless version on some devices if you're willing to have that kind of security risk. Add 'ADB' to google search quarries involving modem tethering and maybe 'port forwarding'.
Edit your first post; if you put "[Q]" (without the quotes) as the first three characters of your thread title you'll find more people looking to answer your question, and maybe add the OS that your computer is running with the version of Android and model of device. This kind of structure to a forum title makes it really easy for those that have the knowledge to help you to quickly find your question and also encourages them to help as it shows you're actively looking to get this solved quickly, one more thing, when its solved change the title to reflect that with the word 'Solved' in the brackets instead of a 'Q', this will keep people from trying to re-answer your question and help other Google searchers out there find the solution that you or others provide here.
Hope some of this can be of help to you in your searches for solutions, if not try google with the following examples---
Google: how to reverse modem tether (general for android with usb)
Same search as above but with a "similar" command sent to the search bar so it will filter the web to results that are or are similar to XDA-Developers
Much the same as the above to links but the results list is less than 5,000 results and should return only related and helpful links for all operating systems
---with all of the above links take a look at how I constructed the Quarry and make edits to suit your needs, you can also try replacing "similar:" with "site:" to search only one site when you find one that is particularly helpful and change the URL part to reflect other sites you find useful. If you want more specific answers then most readers (myself included) will need more specific questions
I have compiled a list of all pre-installed apps on Samsung devices (see attachment as xls and ods), the sources being all similar lists I've found on the various forums here and my own devices (GT-P7501, GT-n8000, GT-S5830). If there were a general 'Samsung Devices'-forum instead of a separate one for each single device, I'd have posted there, but as it is, this seemed the most appropriate place - move this thread if I am wrong .
I'd like to freeze or remove as many superfluous (for me!) apps on my devices as possible, but (as Gandalf said to Saruman - or words to that effect: "He who breaks a thing to find out what it is has deviated from the path of wisdom") I'd like to know exactly what app is what for beforehand.
Any research here and elsewhere is complicated by the facts that not only mostly localized names are used (What is named "Mobile Tracker" on English devices is "uTrack" on German ones) but that sometimes even the app-IDs differ (localized? "Accu Weather Widget" comes as "com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget" on one device and "com.sec.android.widgetapp.at.hero.accuweather.widget" on another). And to confuse even more, some come as "com.sec.[some thing or other]" here and just as "com.[some thing or other]" there or are just named differently on different devices and/or Android versions ("Picasa Uploader", "Meine Uploads").
So what I have done is compile this list incorporating as many variants I could detect and the general opinion (from the lists I found here and my own experience) if it is safe to free/remove when not needed. The most important part, for me, is the description. I have filled all I've found here and found out myself, but with quite a few I have no idea what it is for.
It would be great if you, the reader of this, would look over the list and help to fill out the blanks - this might be useful for all of us (or show me that already complete list/database in the other forum that I did not find )

I took a look at your posting and have been able to add some information I've compiled from my Samsung device (Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro, SGH-I547). I didn't add any apks (ie tetheringprovision.apk that is installed on North American market cellular devices for data plan usages) If possible just double check some of the information I added (to prevent confusion).
Hope it helps
Joe

Thank you, Joe! It sure helps. I'll work through your additions and update the links in the OP.

Hi! Updated to 4.1.2 after lots of pain -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571305 -- not sure if there's anymore updates you should do
It deleted all my apps, settings, everything when it wasn't suppose to...
Best launcher to download? Just one please.
And the rest of the other kinds of apps?
Links are helpful.
I cannot believe that I'm getting almost zero help as to what are the best apps. For this simple problem. So I made a list that anyone can edit (wasn't sure what site to put it so I put in on google spreadsheets). It's a gift to the droid community!! --

far from completed
Please include links or other really good support when recommending an app that you've meticulously tested (in comparison with other apps of its kind) for inclusion.
You received no help because your question doesn't have an actual answer, or rather: every answer is equally valid as it's a highly subjective question, and the answer depends on each user. Besides, it's open ended (you're asking for *every* single app category out there) and shows a lack of research from your part.
About your rant on that spreadsheet, where you basically say that people pretending there's no "best" don't understand the meaning of "best"... Perhaps you should revise your definition first.
best
of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality.

All that is superlative, and subjective. How do you define that? Obviously it depends on what each user wants. You could say "if an app can do everything, then it's the best!" - but what if it lacks speed? Or security? Or something else? There's always a trade-off, one app cannot be suitable for everyone.
Your list is nice, but it's for you. Other people will disagree. I'd actually recommend discussing those apps your like in this thread, for example, if you want to.
With all that in mind, and considering your question is open ended, I'll try to give you what you need to answer your question yourself (because no one else can.)
You can find a list of launchers here (a quick Google search showed me that.) Obviously, some newer launchers may be missing since new launchers come out often (you can contact the OP if you find any.) I can't help you about "the rest of the other kinds of apps" because I don't know what those are.
If you have something more specific in mind (*what* *you* want app X to do, no "what is the best X,") do ask and give the necessary information and someone will help you out if they know.
I purchased some androids from Straight Talk last week as a way to learn and break into the scene of linux/droid programming. I am finding it difficult to find the information I need as I constantly receive the 927 error from google when I try to load an app and have been forced to go to the url's of the actual "apk" files to install apps. Upon doing so I began receiving the low-space errors that android systems are apparently famous for.
My main question here is, how might I utilize the space of my 4gb sd-card that came with the devices I ordered to give the device more space to work with ( maybe by formatting the card to ext4/droid specifications ) and is that possible ? Or would I have to root my device in order to have it run from the sd-card?
I searched using keywords in this forum but could not find anything related directly to this situation I am facing and wanted to make sure I asked if there are certain phrazes or key words I need to be researching to learn more about this?
Please help, as I feel like I am drowning in the inability to assimilate what info is available here.

Hello,
The Galaxy S7 has multiple variants and builds. Normally when asking this kind of question, you should include the model of your device. That way anyone wanting to help you actually has the knowledge to be able to do so. Phones have different internal parts, memory space, and so on. You can find your model number by doing the following:
- slide down the notification bar, sometimes you may have to slide down twice depending on the device. Click the gear in the upper right hand corner. "Settings"
OR
- Access your app drawer or all apps section and find your "settings" section/app. Most of the time it will have a icon of a gear, or three lines that resemble on off switches. Older androids sometimes use just have three lines (as the settings icon)
- Find the section labeled "About Device / Device Info" its usually labeled something similar if not exactly. Open this section
(Galaxy phones usually have this section at the bottom of your "settings" section)
- Somewhere within this section, there will be a label that reads "Model" and that is your specific variant which is needed in device specific situations.
* Take Note of this for future reference. You might think okay ill remember that. But when you come to realize your devices model number may be XDA-2017T1 and you look for something pertaining your device. You will also find something like this:
XDA-2017
XDA-2017YP
XDA-2017YP2
XDA-2017T0
XDA-2017T2
XDA-2017T10
Assuming that you will continually update and/or customize your phone. You will probably just memorize this, along with other important information. Some important things you should include while researching is as follows (the top two are very important)
1. [Model Number] ex) XDA-2017T1
2. [Android Version] ex) 6.0.1 Marshmallow
3. [Baseband]
4. [Kernel]
5. [Chipset]
6. Is device "rooted?"
7. Is the bootloader unlocked?
8. GSM or CDMA. Older devices even use IDEN
Those are only some.
* I also want you to know that im not trying to lecture you, or give you a hard time. I am honestly trying to help you and in order to successfully help you I have to ensure that you know things, or mention things, that is important to do. So your device isnt broken, or you get information that is correct but incorrect for your specific device.
But back to the topic originally referenced.
Q) "Is the program Dr. Fone able to bypass the screen lock security measures on the Samsung Galaxy S7?"
A) Based on limited information that is device specific, and the current Supported Devices section from Dr Fones documentation
"No"
• Dr. Fone doesnt have the capabilty to bypass your screen lock. They will probably include the S7 within a period of time due to it being a main stream phone though.
• Remember this; locks can and will be broken. Just because a vulnerabilty hasnt been exposed or discovered doesnt mean that its 100% secure.
• Keep current with OTA updates, keep in tune with tech type news.
• Encryption is vast subject, but I can refer to it like the "invisible magical ink" That was popular in the 90's. The light that reveals the ink to the naked eye, is your password. The inabilty to see the ink normally without a specific tool, would be encryption. So if someone cracked your password, your encryption would also be disabled. I linked more information below, for you to read. I still dont fully understand encryption myself, nor do I believe or trust it.
I based this information assuming your device is the SM-G930. It is accurate as possible but not guaranteed. Do realize with the information I mentioned and with the question you asked. I was able to do a simple Google search and almost immediately found the answers. Try to figure things out before you ask in the future. You can repeat the process of not researching prior to posting but typically your post will die. If you get stuck and have put forth honest effort, the great people here at XDA will probably help out greatly. I hope I have helped you, and you now feel better about your concerns. please pay it foward.
If you feel ive helped or gave a honest attempt to help. Hit the thumbs up, that is the thanks button.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot to mention the model of my S7, it is the SM-G930F on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, thanks for answering me.
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that a commercial program can unlock a phone.
I hope that this way of circumventing the locking of smartphones will be solved, because malicious people could use it to unlock phones that do not belong to them ...
The only way to protect yourself from this program is to install an application that protects personal data.
Thank you again for answering!
Wondershare Dr. Fonefor unlooking thr screen.
Wondershare Dr. Fone is a powerful instrument to regain iPhone lost information, it can help scan and recover them from iTunes or iCloud copies in case you've got backup your iPhone into iTunes or iCloud, or it helps you regain contacts directly from the device. Besides it's harmonious with iPhone 5s/5c/4S/ / 4/3GS and it might recover 18 kinds of content such as pictures, videos, contacts, messages, notes, and phone log, voicemail, voice memos, calendars, reminders, etc.. :good:
I agree with you. A commercial program available for a few dollars can unlock a password protected phone. What is Android/ios waiting to solve this threat?
