Thank you for trying my app.

Regarding to screen size, here is an answer:

Screen diagonal size calculation may yield to an incorrect value if the manufacturer encoded the wrong xdpi and ydpi values into the Android profile of the device.

It happens on some types of devices and currently there is no solution for it.

Sorry about that.

Some other apps just use workaround to overcome this issue, they just store a database about screen size, not read directly from the device.

Hi, I was wondering how does this app check the original colour of the phone? The app shows Blue colour on my phone but in reality the casing is Golden (Samsung S6 G920F). Does this mean I have a phone which has its casing changed?

hello

3 solutions :

casing have been changed

motherboard have been changed

Hello!

Why Device usage history is missing?

I get only info "Your phone is ORIGINAL"

0 info about charger connect :confused:

Model: SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 SM-G930F
[Android Apps and Games] nenosw:
i bought a s8 dual sim (on 6.9.2017),where the seal on the package was broken. dealer told me it must have been the importer who checked the phone (they just put another seal over the original one). Now im triyng to find out if the phone was used before. Used your app for refurbishment check, it says:

Congratulations!

Your phone is ORIGINAL.

NOTE: Manufacturing date does not match with the Serial Number.

What does that mean? The manufacturing date is: 2017.04.30

I checked the serial numer on imei24.com and get following results:

Division:	Mobile Phone (HHP)

Production location:	Korea SEC

Manufacture line:	8-Line

Production month:	May 2017

Factory warranty till:	31-07-2019

What do you think happened here, I really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

RAM is because ramdisk occupies space. 2nd are you rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Sorry for late reply.

If it says the phone is ORIGINAL, it should be OK and no need to worry if there is no other issue (such as color not matching, IMEI or S/N not match, etc).

The NOTE is just for users information.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Sorry for late reply.

Since the latest firmware (since Android 6.0), it needs root to read the Usage Counters, as well as the Original CSC Code.

It is due to Samsung has strengthened its security policy. It is not the app's mistake.

Once you have root, you can see those info.

[Android Apps and Games] KittyChampion:
I messed around with CSCs and stuff on Galaxy S6 (Android 7.0)

Now i got "Product Active = Not Active" . I can't get it back even after restoring EFS.

What is the consequence?
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
It maybe due to you have installed a firmware from a brand model?

Try to flash back to your stock firmware?
[Android Apps and Games] KittyChampion:
Its still "Not Active" even after flashing full stock firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Please note that you can NOT retrieve the Country of Origin of the phone from the IMEI.

You can only know the country that issued the IMEI.

Hope that helps to clarify.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi,

That means your phone has been modified and it is considered as refurbished.

It is not the app's mistake.

You can also use the "Refurbishment Check" function on the left-side menu to make sure.

.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
There are different ways to understand the term "refurbished".

For example, if the battery or the cover of the phone has been replaced, it is considered as a refurbished device, but the app can not detect that.

In your case, if it is labeled as a refurbished one, it is refurbished.

Regarding to the secret codes and counter info, due to security policy of Samsung, it needs root permission to work.

Once you have root, you can see that they will work as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] Lobo86:
NOTE: The manufacturing date does not match the serial number. what is this?

It is not a big deal so do not worry about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lobo86:

That means the manufacturing date read from the device and the manufacturing date extracted from the serial number do not match each other.

Hi, thank you for purchasing the app.

The newly added item is Battery Discharge Cycle (not recharge). It is the number of times the battery fully discharged.

Could you send me (or PM me) a screenshot of the PERSONAL tab? (you can blackout the IMEI and the S/N for privacy purpose).

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi, I've just received the screenshot you sent.

I don't know why it has only 'Battery Discharge Cycle' item in your device and it is zero.

Maybe your device is not fully supported this feature.

AFAIK, this feature is available since S7 model.

Below is a screenshot on my device:

Refurbished phone sold as new?

Hello,

A few days ago I bought a Samsung Note 4 through Ebay. The seller assure me that the phone was new (so naive, I know) and in its original box. When the phone was delivered, I installed your app to check it. The refurbished check says that my phone is a refurbished one, and that the dates of manufacture in phone (2017.07.04, General section) and serial number (october 2014) don't match. The difference is so huge that I am afraid it was a mistake. Can you test it again for me? I sent the seller screenshots of your program, but the seller insists in the "new condition" of the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
I don't know how did you purchase it and what was its usage history (i.e brandnew or second hand, in a factory-sealed box or without seal, was it sent to service for repairing or not...), but I believe it has been repaired and the mainboard has been replaced.

Can you tell me something about its purchase history and usage history?
[Android Apps and Games] PernasC:
I bought the phone at Ebay to a German seller that assured that it was "neu & OVP" (so, new in the original box). Before buying I asked him by mail if the box was closed, and he answered that he must open it only to check all was right.

I have some problem with the shipment (the estimate -6-7 days- date of delivery was unreal, it took 12 days to arrive), so when the phone was delivered I record an unboxing: opening the box of the carrier and so on, until I installed your app and the screen showed that the phone was a refurbished one. Externally, the phone seems truly new, with the USB port intact, but the plastic cover of the screen is not the original (I know it well because my former phone was too a Galaxy Note 4), there was no quick manual and there was no earphone & S-pen's tip replacements. By the way, the box has a green round sticker in one of its sides, that I guess is another sign of refurbishment.

I've compared the phone with my older Note 4, and it seems original in every detail. I got into download mode too to checking that the model was right, I checked imei & s/n in box and phone, etc.

After the unboxing, I contacted the seller sending him some screenshots of your app. Hard to believe, but he insists that the phone is new. The problem is I opened an incidence in Ebay about the shipment, but when the carrier confirmed me that the parcel was in Spain I close the incidence (there are a lot of years that I don't buy en Ebay), and now I can't open a new incidence about the phone. Fortunately, I payed the phone by Paypal, so my purchase is still covered.

Although I think the seller is a liar (he lied to me first about the shipment), I want to making sure of it. I want not to damage the reputation of an honest seller raising a claim in Paypal. But all the signs point that this seller is a real scammer. The price I paid was for a new phone, not for a refurb. The refurbished unit of this model cost 100€ less.

I truly appreciate the information about motherboard replacement you've given me. Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
OK as you bought it without seal, that was a cause.
[Android Apps and Games] Andrey G.:
Hi, Battery status info doesn't work on S8+ (9550 version), it's always show half of the capacity (like fg_fullcapnom file on S7 some time ago) and data is not changing (from time of update of the APP), discharge cycles also shows "1".

How often does this app incorrectly identify phone color? Mine is showing as Gold in the app, yet it's black and has never had a body swap. It shows as original, not refurbished in the app, also. So how exactly would you have a body swapped phone without refurbishing? Is that even possible?

So how often does this app misidentidy phone color? Almost 100% sure it's wrong about mine. How would that happen? How does the app identify phone color? I notice there's only a single letter difference between my phone in blaxk and my phone in gold. Anybody got any ideas or explanations?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Did you purchase it brand new in a factory-sealed box?

If no, the phone may have been repaired and the cover has been replaced, or the mainboard has came from gold color device.

Please send me screenshots from the app for more details.

Disparities among analyzed data

Hi vndnguyen,

Thank you very much for this great app.

Nevertheless, there is some discrepancy between the data reported by the app and the system for my Galaxy SM-G891A.

What do you make of it? Which data is real and which isn't?

I'm attaching the pics.

I'd really appreciate your response, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
That happens on a device which has been sent to the service center for repairing and the mainboard has been replaced.

You can also open the left-side menu and select 'Refurbishment Check' to check.

Please check to make sure if your phone has been sent to the service center for repairing or not?
[Android Apps and Games] patzyalex:
Thank you for your answer.

Indeed the Refurbishment Check warns about the fact that the phone has been refurbished.

Given all that, in your opinion, could you please confirm that:

1. The manufacturing date is May 2016?

2. The first boot after mainboard replacement was in June 2017?

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
It should be like that.

Because it can not be reverse, i.e manufacturing date 2017 and mainboard replacement 2016, isn't it :)

Gee, I thought it was the other way around :D

Hi vndnguyen,

i noticed a new problem with todays new Update BRE5 for the S9/S9+

The CPU usage could not be read out anymore.

With no App.

Did google/Samsung change something?

I also attached you some screenshots.

If you need more data just tell me.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Thank you for your feedback.

Yes, it is due to the fact that Samsung strengthens and tightens its security policy day by day and that's why some info requires root permission to read out.

Can you confirm, does this error appear only after updating version BRE5?

Before BRE5 this error did not happen, right?

I will check to fix the error.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] maik005:
Yes, I can confirm that 100%!
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
OK thank you! Samsung has changed its security policy so it needs root to read the cpu usage info.

The update will be available in the next few days to fix the issue. Please stay tuned.

With new update, the error will not be show but the cpu usage info will not be read anymore unless the phone has root.
[Android Apps and Games] maik005:
I can not imagine which things could not be read out in the future....

****ty Samsung...

First the real CPU Temp with the Oreo Update...

Now the CPU Usage in percent overall and per Core....

It is curios, that the active processes with the CPU Usage can be read out since Oreo (which normally could not be possible since Nougat) - again without root, but look.

S9+ BRE5 Update (NO root!)

AccuBattery App Overlay...

Maybe you can integrate something like that also?
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Thank you for the info, but for now I still don't have a plan to do that.

By the way, I have fixed the error and update the app.

Please update the app to the latest version on the Play Store and try again.

Those info are obtained from different sources.

The "Firmware Browser" menu is obtained from the sammobile website.

While the "Latest Firmware" item and the "Firmware Update History" are obtained from the Samsung servers.
