Hi guys,
Just want to let you know the simplest way to check if your Note7 is safe or it must be replaced through the Note7 Safety Recall program.
Just use the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, open the 'Other Tools' menu, and select 'Note7 Recall Check' button to check.
You can check using the device's IMEI or S/N.

I use this at times on my HTC evo, but it looks like it's not available to download on the Xformer from the Market. Anyone know why? Anyone have the apk file for it?
edit: i was able to get it from Amazon App store
edit2: Well, i figured out why lookout wasn't available for the tf101. Our tablets without 3g doesn't have sms service, which apparently lookout utilizes for location even with gps on
Lookout said:
There is trouble with Lookout fully functioning on Android tablets due to the fact that they don't support SMS messages. We rely on SMS messages to initiate a connection to a device in the event it's lost, stolen, etc. Without the ability to receive SMS messages the missing device features are greatly hindered, however, device based backups and malware protection should work normally.

The reason why you're having trouble finding Lookout in the market for Honeycomb Tabs is due to the fact that the they don't support SMS messages. We rely on SMS messages to initiate a connection to a device in the event it's lost, stolen, etc. Without the ability to receive SMS messages the missing device features would be greatly hindered, however, device based backups and malware protection would work normally.
Until we release a version that's more compatible with the Honeycomb tabs you can install it using this alternate method:
The first thing you'll want to do is enable the installation of non-market applications. To do this:
Go to settings > application > and check the box next to "Unknown Sources." Go ahead and disregard the warning (by clicking OK), we can uncheck it later.
Next, back out of Settings and open up the web browser.
In the address bar delete everything that's there and type this in (minus quotes): "m.getjar.com" and hit enter.
Now click on "Android" under "Or, Choose your platform." This will bring you to another page where you will see a search box in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Tap the search box, to insert the cursor, and type "Lookout" and tap "go". The search will produce one result, which is "Lookout"
Tap on the link "Lookout Mobile Security with Antivirus".
You will now be on another page that displays a grey "Download" box. Go ahead and tap on it.
The Tablet will show that it's beginning to download the file and you'll see the progress, of the download, in the notification bar.
Tap on the download icon (it looks like a downward facing arrow pointing at a line) and a small window will populate above with the word "lookout-production-signed-aligned.apk" Go ahead and tap on that.
A window that says "Package Installer" pops up. From here you can read the permissions that Lookout requires. Go ahead and tap "Install".
Your installation will start. Tap "Open" once the installation has finished to open Lookout.
Finish setting up Lookout as you normally would!

Awesome thanks. Nice to have lookout on my TF.
I think they should still deploy it for tablets either way. I don't mind not having the locate feature on my Transformer. I really only want it for their anti-virus/malware checking as well as their backup features.
I kindly advice you to read everything before you start, so that you don't get stuck in the middle of the process. I made it without screenshots, so maybe it's rather something for advanced users - but basically you'll just fake the carrier for the market and use a proxy.
1. This will only work if your device is rooted.
2. Don't complain. I assume that if you managed to root your device you will also manage to set up a proxy.
3. Grant the superuser permissions when asked by "Market Enabler" and "Proxy Droid", else it won't work. Those are apps with hundreds of thousands of downloads --> they are safe.
4. It works for me. I attach also a screenshot that I just took - I'm in Sweden.
5. If it doesn't work, it means that the proxy you selected is not working, simply try with another one.
Now, let's start.
1. Get the Movies&TV app at the end of this post or from the market if you have access to it and install it.
2. Get a program called "market enabler", it will allow you to fake the location of the google play market and allow you to get the movies+series.
3. Get "ProxyDroid", you can get it for free on the market, link.
4. Search for us proxies, if you don't know how to do that click on this link.
I found good ones here, link, simply click on a number in the "raw proxy list" column and write down a proxy, you will need both the host and the port numbers. Host numbers usually look like this "72.64.146.136" and port numbers usually are shorter, usually like this "3128", "80" or "3128".
If you find a proxy with the following "184.105.235.82:8080", then everthing before the : is the host number, everything after the : is the port number. You will need this information for step 6.
5. Start "market enabler" --> setting lists --> long press on a [us] list and select "fake this provider now"
6. Start "ProxyDroid" --> scroll down to "Host" and enter the host numbers from step 4 and then do the same for "Port". Scroll to the top and select "Proxy Switch" --> a little cloud symbol will show up in the menu bar. The app also offers advanced options, like excluding apps from this proxy, or creating proxy profiles but that's entirely up to you.
7. Start "Google Play Movies & TV", link it to an account. It will tell you that you don't have any movies or shows. Press on the market icon in the top right corner and you'll get to the market. --> Bingo.
8. Don't forget to deactivate the proxy and market enabler once you are done watching.
9. You can also do this without market enabler, the only difference is that you will be redirected to your browser when you want to buy movies&series instead of doing it within the market.
The rest is up to you. It's actually easier as it sounds.
If you really, really, really, really need screenshots I might add some tomorrow.
what market enabler could i use best??
*edit*
Found market unlocker with various google play stores from over the world this app is also capable to look for proxies
Thank a lot I will try sir.:victory:
I am trying to compile a database of barcodes for an upcoming app that I plan to work on. If anyone who has an Android device can go to the link and download the app to your device that would be great. All you have to do is every time you go shopping or you are by a barcode just scan it with the app or enter it manually and insert some details about the product, then just click "Add product" and it will be sent to my database. There is a known issue with the app, where when you hit the button it seems that nothing happened, but believe me IT DID GET SENT! There is some issue with the threading that I need to fix that is not allowing my dialog box to come up. Obviously there are some problems with it, but it does what I need it to do which is add barcodes! I just wanted to get in on the market so that I can start getting a lot of barcodes added and so people can easily receive updates to the app.
If it is not available in your country, it should be soon, just updated my listing to include all countries!
**UPDATE** - New URL, had to unpublish old version of app since I lost my old signature file
Play Link
Updated as of 7/7/2013
**Recent Changes**
- Re-organized my database
- Application now grabs the location of where you entered/scanned the barcode
**In Progress**
- Starting to work on the main app that will use this database!

Hi there,
I have a rooted T-Mobile US S7 and I am looking to access the secret test menu that is typically accessed by typing #*#*4636*#*# in the dialer. I am specifally interested in accessing the part that holds useage statitics. (com.android.settings.UsageStatsActivity)
However, no matter how I try to access it I am unable to do so. here is what I have done so far...
entering #*#*4636*#*# in dialer
rooting phone
tried using the dump commands in ADB to get the info I need
tried finding it in root explorer
installed test menu shortcut from the appstore
It appears that this is missing from the software; is there another way to get a rundown of when specific apps we're accessed? The best I could manage from ADB was the timestamp when the app was last opened

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.uninstaller
I downloaded that app too in the hopes that it would open the log build into the Android system; but in only appears to track things that happened after this app was installed
Update: I got to useage statistics by using Activity launcher. However, it only tells me the last time a app has been opened. Is there any other way to see a list of times an app has been opened?
Am seeing this tab in settings, what apk do I need to debloat to remove this? I've been through my apps list but dont see anything obvious, thanks
I don't have that option. Do you see it Samsung members app?
See grab, no its towards the bottom in Settings menu.
don't have that setting but going via help file it offers to install it via Smart Tutor for Samsung Galaxy app
Thanks, just want to get rid of that tab, any idea how?
do you have that app? uninstall it if yes
Have uninstalled smart tutor but the Remote Support tab remains in settings list. Guess there's no way to get rid of it?
restart the phone?
Still there after restart, was hoping there was an app I could disable etc to remove the heading from settings menu, guess not.
I would be glad to remove it as well, I suddenly got it appearing after the last update on my A52 5G.
Any new idea how to get away with this option in Settings?
A bit late to this post, but the solution is to install the Samsung Tips app which removes the "manual" and "remote support" options inside the Settings app and replaces it with a single "Tips" entry: https://galaxystore.samsung.com/pre...session_id=W_03bb1f02be95e1f7c89bf2450f16277d
You can remove both by having Tips installed and disabling it (not removing it) via "pm disable com.samsung.android.app.tips"

This doesn't work on the S21 latest software, CVDC. It will disable Tips, but the Remote Support option will no longer be removed.

On my S22+, I already have the latest version installed by default and tried to disable it via PDP app, but it tells me that some critical app can't be disabled.
It's a system app which isn't directly labeled remote support. You will have to use an application inspector to view all system apps then have to narrow down which app it is. I had to do this to remove the Samsung Account in settings, bixby vision, bixby page, software update installer & more.
Make sure you make an apk backup of the system app before you uninstall it incase you mess up your phone or make a setting inacessible that you needed. You can restore the apps by reinstalling them from the apk you backed up with a tap or use adb to install the app.
If you happen to find out which package name it is please reply with the name as I am trying to figure out which one it is on my phone as well. I imagine its one of the ones that begin with com.samsung.android good luck on the hunt & don't forget to let everyone know once you find out.
