New or not - how to check - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have occasion to buy a new tablet from the store but I know that he was placed on storefront exhibition. Seller told me that tablet was never used.
Now I have a question: it is possible to verify that the product is new and he was never been launched (like the salesman assured me)?

how to check
You need to look in the root directory of the device. Example /storage/emulated/0 This will list when the system and app specific directories where created. I use Total Commander to look. Directories like /Android or /Android/data or /Android/obb will carry the time and date stamp of when the system was first initiated. That should give you a clue when they first started using it.

Samsung info app could help you with that!
It gives you a glimpse about some usage statistics of the device like how many times it was charged!
Good luck [emoji106]

Thanks guys I'll look all your suggestions.
This app Samsung Info is cool but to check what I need root is required :/

root isn't required to see how many times a device was charged !

Maybe this is not the same application: Phone Info ☆Samsung☆ by vndnguyen

no root required
You do not need "root" to look at internal storage. Not for general things such as directories. They are not hidden.
I use Total Commander which is a file manager. There are many others. You can use any filemanager you choose as long as it displays the date and time stamp of the directories.

Hmm interesting!
When i checked my device charge times was there even though it wasn't rooted yet!
And pen detached counter had that "root required" status!
Firmware was lollipop maybe permission changed to have access to that info!!

Maybe you're right that Lollipop will change this but for now I still don't receive this actualisation on my Note 3. I hope on the tablet Lollipop will arrive after start ... ans this will be good test because if this tablet still is on Kit Kat it means that he was never started

I confirm that Lollipop show this info, I checked this yesterday on galaxy tab 4.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

receiving lollipop update is not by any means an indicator that the tab was never used because the device has been on market since early 2014, and the update depending on your home country is between a few days and 1 month old (most regions are a couple days till a week old, as of the time of this post)
the Samsung Phone Info app mentioned earlier, to my knowledge, would be the only way possible to verify that a wifi-only Samsung device has been used or not.
as the previous messages say and show, yes root is required to see the charger and pen counters -- however I think the headphone one would also suffice. should be zero or MAYBE 1-3 (might have been a Samsung Quality Assurance test at the facility? unlikely, but possible)
if it's a cell model of the tab (3g or 4g) you could use dialer codes to see recondition (refurbish or new new) status, varies by carrier.. ##786# or *#*#786#*#* WARNING! do not select reset, it will WIPE CLEAN your device of personal data (might ask for a code, might not, idk never tried but that's what it does)

In my case it's W-Fi only version and I must ask: this counter charger/phone can be erased by any modifications (
Lollipop -> Kit Kat -> wipe data/system etc.)?

[APP]VIRGINMOBILE : MINUTES CHECKER apk FIXED

I Fixed this app because Jay Goel did not ! It is for all of us Virgin Mobile Users who like to keep tabs on the minutes used . Due to recent Changes by Virgin Mobile the app on the marketplace stopped working so i edited it with the proper log in information(changed www1 to www2 and it works perfectly again ! Pretty good for a person with little coding experience. I used apktool and then signed the compiled app . here it is and give me a thanks if you use it . Uninstall the broke one first !
I emailed Jay Goel several times but he did not respond or update his app so i did because i needed it .The only change i made was replaced WWW1 with WWW2 in WebsiteScraper.java then recompiled it with the easy instructions of apktool then used signapk and WALA ! Works 100% and i love to see mins used in a widget . Multiple account log ins all fixed by me .feb 20 2013
PLEASE UNINSTALL THE OLD VERSION BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIXED APK HERE. THANKS
Thanks so much! I was planning on doing just that when I got the time. I'm glad I procrastinated and let you do the heavy lifting.
The app doesn't seem to be reading the "Charged on" fields correctly. Any change you could mess around with that?
Thanks a ton!
My charged on field is showing the correct data. I have several accounts all on different days and it displays for example Charged on: Th/A/04
Set indicates Thursday, the 4th and on Automatic debit for next month April. A
Hope that helps..

Thanks for the reply. If you look at the pics on the play store, it looks like it should just be the date in mm/dd/yy format. I think it uses that to calculate how fast you are burning minutes and changes the color of the widget appropriately. It also uses that to make the black circle bar on the widget that represents the progress through the month.
These features aren't critical, so if you don't have the time to work on it, it's understandable. You have done us a great service fixing this app already!

Hi. No yes that was changed by another contributing developer. I like it this way it is as all the info in pie graphs plus widget s are accurate. I will update it again when the time comes it stops working again.. Enjoy
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium
Amazing! I hinted my review over at the play store for folks to google for this
My charged on date isn't showing up either but that happened before even in the older versions. I actually wish someone could fork the project and add higher res widgets and implement the new code from the VM account that tracks the data limit usage. I know there are apps or ICS and up can track data usage but it's not accurate. With the new forked app you'd know exactly were you are in terms of data usage as VM sees it.
Happy to have this back though! :highfive:
Seems like "Virgin Mobile Minute Checker" author has not updated the app for a while. I contacted him with no success. Surprisingly, Virgin Mobile themselves also does not offer any app.
Ultimately, I have started working on my own version. It is in google's play store under name "Virgin Mobile Minutes" (it has "V" and "m" letters in logo). It is free for everyone to enjoy. It is missing a widget for now - I will add it soon.
I apoligize if that sounded like I am trying to advertise myself

Thanks for the fix. The old app stopped working a couple weeks ago when Virgin Mobile moved my account to their new system, and this update mostly works.
With this new version, my "Charged On:" field is blank, so the app doesn't know when my month starts/ends, and therefore, the green "days remaining" circle in the graphic and widget are missing: The graphics only show the red Minutes Used pie.
Please let me know if you need any additional info from me to help fix this issue (if you have time to fix it).
PS: I couldn't install this fixed version (it kept failing) until I uninstalled the old version.
PPS: I'm running CM7 on a Triumph, and plan to try Paranoid Android ICS in the near future.

Nice job. Just loaded it on my phone. The only think missing from me making this my primary app is that I can't monitor 2 or more (in my case, just 2) accounts. But, for now I'll just leave this set up to watch the other phone's usage while I use other apps to monitor my minutes.
multiple accounts

I saw that in the original app but I did not realize that there were actually people who would monitor multiple accounts. Guess I was wrong. You are the first one you brought it up. I will put it on my TODO list. Be patient
I monitor two account fine with it. Mine and my daughters. We both have different due dates and that works also here is a screen shot.. Uploading now

Do you still experience the issue? If so, please email (email should be available on google's play market) me and I can solve that.
The app was fixed as all can see the Charged on field is active using the file posted.
The app in the market itself is dead and outdated so I posted the patched file which works now including multiple accounts. I am also curious is the fellow with the charged on filed was resolved by my fix...

Would I be able to include a non ad supported version for our ROM?

I added monitoring multiple accounts from inside the app and also you can assign a widget to specific account (if you have more than one account registered). See if you like it.
BTW, if you have any comments please email me directly since I do not visit forums that often.

[APP] Note 8 MODE Switcher

Hello Note 8 users,
As a favor to a friend of mine, I made a MODE switcher app that allows the user to switch between the default PHABLET interface and the alternative TABLET interface. This app also allows the user to switch between an alternative Multiwindow mode as shown on the pictures below.
Requires: a rooted note 8 tablet with busybox installed (works for both odex and deodex).
1. For safety, make a backup.
2. Ensure you have busybox installed. If not, install busybox installer from the Play Store and use it to install busybox.
3. Install an alternative launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW, etc. just in case TW Launcher crashes when switching from one mode to another.
4. Download the app below and install. Launch and enjoy. Make sure you grant it root permission when asked.
DOWNLOAD
5. A THANKS would be nice or you could buy me a COFFEE.
NOTE: For those having issue with Play Store in tablet mode, the solution is to use the multi-dpi Play Store from the following THREAD.
CAUTION: Use this app at your own risk. I am not liable for any damage or loss due to use of this app.
You always surprise me ... how you get those ideas

Thank you so much - tablet mode great to switch to when using BT keyboard and mouse!
Thanks a lot for the app.
I am a rookie here and have a issue with this app.
My device is rooted and installed BusyBox pro for the first time.
Then, installed this app.
The mode switch works great, but Multiwindow Mode doesnt work.
it says "ERROR: Missing permission file."
Could someone tell me what I have done incorrectly?
Thanks in advance.

No doubts
You are the one who started it all. But where are you man? I guess, something is brewing
Do share when its ready, we all together can sip it
(app, build.prop and play store compatibility question deleted - but I don't think it's relevant any longer. Restored build.prop, reinstalled this app, now have no issues with play store visibility. However, it is useful to remember that play store can be impacted by build.prop issues - if you do see a visibility issue, a restore can be helpful.)
@chipwizz & @ianbbaa - glad to see you roaming around this thread. Did you guys bought a note 8 and leave me behind in the note 1 forum? I'll be with the note 1 for a longer time I suppose as I can't afford any new device at the moment.
The mode switch works great, but Multiwindow Mode doesnt work.
it says "ERROR: Missing permission file."
Click to expand...

Make sure you have "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" in /system/etc/permissions folder. That is the missing permission file.
This is a very cool app - but does it modify the build.prop file?
I ask because around the time I installed it, my build.prop file was changed (of course, I was making many changes at the time ) and this morning I noticed a ton of stuff in the Play store said I was not compatible. When I noticed the delta time on the build.prop I restored from a backup and now have normal play store visibility.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, it changes one build.prop entry (ro.sf.lcd_density=177) to achieve tablet interface. Play Store may be an issue for some but the solution is to use the multi-dpi Play Store which you can download from HERE.
What was surprising to me was that after I reverted back to 'phablet mode' I was seeing GPS not loving me.
But this morning I reinstalled after redoing the build.prop and for now, at least, Play is working fine.
Thanks for the link to the play store that ought to hold up if I go back.
Samsung's done some weird stuff with their hardware buttons -- both Button Savior and the back button on the tablet style interface tend not to work very well or often when you try to "back" with them. I'd hoped to be able to disable those hardware buttons by being in tablet mode, but not yet.
I grabbed the key test app a bit back and the hardware and the soft keys do send the same codes, so Samsung must have written something in that grabs inputs on those lines and prioritizes it.
It 's reboot when calling or receiving call.
How to solve this?

Don't worry brother. I still remember the days I was saving for note1, will not be moving so early.
Real action started after you and ianbbaa displayed some magic of tablet and multi window. It is interesting stuff you created in terms of switching mode. So happened to checkout in the interest of note1 replication.
Sorry forum users to be off topic.

Can you use call function without problem?
So I downloaded this morning and doesn't seem to be working. I know I am probably missing doing something simple but here is some background. Rooted with busy box, framaroot I , model 5110, I also have multi window manager already on here could that be the problem. when I go into the app and hit multi window mode it states need to reboot so I do than after it reboots nothing it is back to the normal mode. I am trying to get the cascading window mode. Any help would be appreciated.
Call off the hounds. after a few additional reboots. it seems to have decided to work. I will report back if i have any other unnecessary requests to make.. Thanks

[Q] new apps on gear app store

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.
I see crystallite and gear alarm. I don't see yours though.. Hope that helps
I just bought my gear 2 and I'am loving it, but Tizen will certainly have the same fait as Bada! Samsung kills t! It is not interesting for developers! We have just a few apps and a thousand of watches! We have just one custon rom!
Every day we see less and less apps on samsung store!It is sad!
I will keep my gear 2, but I think that in less than 2 year it wont even be able to concect to a phone anymore. Samsung will give up on Tizen and the future android plataforms wont provide support.
Tizen has so mutch potential... I think it is better than android wear, but his dead is certainly...
Probbly will buy a lg watch r and keep the gear 2

I don't see your app either. Maybe it takes 24hrs to get uploaded and the servers refreshed?
Did you get a link to your app in the approval email? Maybe you filled out something improperly. You did post a question in the general section of this forum.

they don't provide a link in the approval email. I'm sure I didn't fill out anything improperly. And yes, I posted this in the general section because it is some kind of "out of scope" discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have marked it as a question.
Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

Don't read me wrong, i want to pay for good apps. But most of the apps are real crap. But you find this out after paying.
For this app, i'm waiting for another watchface i really want. (Watcher). The upcoming update have hourly weather and appointments in one.

Thanks for your reply. Actually on the registration process I did only select resolutions supported. There was not a place to select devices as far as I remember. Are you sure that there is a device selection as well ?
On which screen can I see which devices are selected for my app ?
I will also write to Samsung if I find similar issue. But first I must find the problem.
Thx.

Thanks for your feedback. I will create a version with better clock and font if you have any suggestions for the font face and/or clock. But I would like to keep the analog clock simple in this one, because the aim is to supply information. So, I am waiting for suggestions...

the app uses the default background you select in background settings. Actually, I made a demo version to make trial available. But the approval process takes too long. So, if you want to try before purchase, please wait a cople of weeks.
Thanks for the feedback any way.
@mrmrmrmr Check in the seller site your app, by clicking on the link "For Sale" of your app. Then go to binary and you see the device count. You can click on the symbol left to the count, then you can see the list of devices for which your app is available.
When updating you can select the binary tab and click the advanced button. You will then get access to the device selection options. Automatically all recommended devices should be selected. Let me know if all devices are available for your app or only a few. Samsung said to me that it was my error and that I had to submit the update again with the full selection of devices. But I'm sure that I did this, so I think they made an error during the certification process. I did a new update, selected all devices and have to wait for another week to see if it will be ok now. It is such a slow process with Samsung, I really prefer android apps on Google, much easier to change/update apps.

thanks. I see 43 devices there. My device is Galaxy S5 , but in the list of 43, I only see: Galaxy S5 광대역 LTE-A -
that is really weird.
Maybe we are all missing lots of apps for just that reason.
Try to do an update, check the list of recommended devices and see if you can select more than the current selection of 43. You don't have to change anything in the update, you can just leave the binary and description unchanged. You can change the device selection, country selection and fill in a certification comment explaining the content of the update and then submit. Good luck.

Please report this to Samsung. In the seller site you have the possibility to ask questions or report issues. They should know that something goes wrong in their certification process. Thx.

I asked it as a question. But this seems to be a generic problem and I am afraid that most of us are missing lots of apps with similar problems. For example, I am using Galaxy S5 as a phone and maybe I am missing lots of available apps. And S5 is an important/commony used phone. Am I wrong ?

[WIP][FREE][ROOT]WhatsGear. Whatsapp from your wrist.

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Well... no idea whats going on.
Can you try sideloading the watch app directly from your pc and tell me if it gets installed or the command output if it fails?
PS: I just installed it on a note 3 paired with a gear 2 neo using Samsung's Remote Test Lab without problems.
Thank you! I'll try later.
But where can I find the Samsung remote test Lab?

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/

lolipop vs my picture option headache

Not really hoping for answers since there's not many info in google, but well, here it is. this message was number 27500 on an "ask any question" thread and seemed like everyone just skipped it due to the detailed info I wrote and decide to answer the short ones
Just getting a new android 5.0.2 running cyanogenOS. The only thread here in xda can be found when typing "andromax cyanogen" in search box.
Now, the problems.
- bbm will show "bbm has stopped responding" with an OK button when I click on "picture" option to change display picture. However, clicking on "sample picture" and camera icon will do its job fine and the display picture will change accordingly.
- xda app will show "xdamobile has stopped responding" with an OK button when I click on the camera icon below.
- fb lite app will show "app has stopped responding" with an OK and report button when I try to attach a picture when replying to a post. But, when I created a post, I am able to include a picture on the post.
- upon reboot, phone will get stuck on cyanogen logo, randomly
- also randomly, phone refuse to wake up no matter what after being left untouched for at least 1 hour. Have to physically remove the battery and replug to be able to turn on phone.
What I did:
- upon the 3rd day of getting phone, I decide that I want to get titanium backup of apps so I can save my internet quota. So I root using Kingroot 4.5 and install TB to found out that physical sdcard is now useless and that's why the phone has generous space (1.88gb system, 4.77gb internal/legacy/emulated).
- I then searched xda and found out to add an extra line in /system/etc/permissions/profile.xml to make physical sdcard usable again. Then I found out about those apps errors. I thought, it must be the extra line that makes the os messed up.
- so I did a factory reset via settings. Didn't seem to actually clean everything up because when I click on playstore it recognizes my email add right away. Then I reboot into recovery, did a wipe media, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset and then turned phone off, removes battery and physical sdcard.
- upon reboot it said "android os is upgrading" and it counted from 1-116. Now I thought it truly is clean, as it asked me my gmail address for Google playstore. I DIDN'T ROOT THIS TIME. The first thing I install is bbm, then I reboot before setting up bbm. Guess what. Upon setting bbm (waiting for that circle to stop spinning), when it came to, my bbm pin stays the same and the problem of unable to change display picture using the "picture" option still stick.
- then I searched around to find a way to reflash the phone and after I did, well, everything brand new and clean. But the same problems with those apps PLUS the later that I mentioned.
Does anyone has a clue of what's going on? Or what to search for, to be blamed as the culprit(s)? The info on this phone is very limited almost none available.
I have tried to make a trouble ticket from bbm app but using chrome and uc browser, the form would just keep reloading without being sent. Dunno what's wrong. Will try tomorrow using a computer, although I doubt that they will provide a satisfactory answer (like when I still actually uses a bb device, they insisted that my os5 device would have to run bbm8 in order for them to run a diagnostic and help me, which actually destroys my bb, that's why I moved on to another android beside this oppo)
Thank you for the time to read. I hope that someone would shed some light for the badly confused me :banghead:
Can i know that which device are you running

Device giving problem is Haier G36C1H, known as AndromaxQ.
The only info available here in xda can be found when typing "andromax cyanogen" in search box. Google wise it will only give info on how to root which obviously a copy of info made available here in xda

Antutu Benchmark already gives almost the same info. I have a screenshot that I cannot post due to the problem.
Existed from day 1? Yes for bbm. Not sure about this xda mobile app as I was focused on "curing" bbm.
Well since you insisted, I took pictures of antutu info from the problem device. Let me edit some info and post the pics asap
