I remember when the counterfeit iPhone 6 was released weeks before the real one was. All the rich and popular people in China bought it to show off. All they did was take a old iPhone and make it look a the new one. See here:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Androidious:
Not sure if anyone posted this either but another give away if you dont know to go to download mode to check knox status, is to check the "SE for Android Status" says Custom ROM in the OP pics. Surprised the counterfitters allowed that to be there, but its just a give away that its not stock firmware.

But this can be spoofed so dont take it as your only sign that its real. Usually the bootloader is a good way to tell though imo.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pat.:
Also if it feels uncomfortable to hold its probably a genuine one.

im in a bit of a different situation, the minor things show that it is a fake phone ( battery , sticker on the phone, box it came in) yet when i check ODIN its in english, my friend who has an authentic note 4s pen works fine in mine, my antutu 5.7 benchmark was 48000, cpuz is showing snapdragon 805 processors, camera has same functionality as my friends.. the only thing different was minor things like the metal frame being a slightly different size, back cover is cheap plastic. real one feels like leather. so do i have a fake? real one? half and half?

How to check a fake phone from a real one using CPU-Z

1. Download CPU-Z from Google Playstore on your newly bought phone

2. Run the app.

3. Voila. You may be surprised to see the results.

Thank you folks.. C u

To know which are real or not.

You can check if the KNOX are there:

with:

1. Download mode REAL with knox & here is a Guide.

2. Samsung info app (General label/Tools). IF knox are not found =FAKE.

Got taken for $250 buying a clone. Everything seemed to run fine until I did some digging after the fact. Was trying to surprise my mom with me phone which probably this bugs me even more. Now I don't know what to do with this thing besides use it as a paper weight.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DionWhite33:
Yea Ive ran across 2 fakes on Craigslist. Then I bought a Note Edge on Ebay that was suppsed to be Tmobile and it was At&t so it was unrootable which was the WHOLE reason I want Tmobile. I sold it outright on Craiglist for $100 cheaper took my loss and will never buy from there again. Amazon is ok...they help you if the transaction goes bad. Also I found SWAPPA. For anybody who doesn't know what it is go check it out so very legit site you have to prove you are you've got to give them your driver's license and go through 9 yards of stuff just to get your stuff sold on there but it keeps things legit
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joot:
Easiest way to spot a fake is to look at the location of the front facing camera. The fake one will have the front facing camera line up horizontally with the two small sensors next to the speaker on too of the phone. The real phone will have the front facing camera position slightly below those two sensors.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Apoka:
I bought a note 4 bout 3 weeks ago and wasn't worried til I found youtube videos on fake ones and now im concerned. I can get into odin and download mode and have rooted it and all seems fine. But on the box the model number is SM-910, from what ive read there should be another letter, is this correct? The box also states its the octa core exynos chipset, but cpu-z states i have the 4 core 805 snapdragon, why would the box say its the 8 core but its the 4 core inside? has me worried. Tried checking imei on samsung website and it cant find it either, what you guys reckon?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
The US models use Snapdragon 805 (also some of the asian markets as well IIRC). I know there were a lot of fakes floating around in the beginning, but were the fakes actually using Snapdragon processors? I'd think they'd be using that media-tek crap.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d4rkkn16ht:
First, I feel sorry for your misfortune.

Second, the fastest way to spot a FAKE Note 4 (or any Samsung Device) is to go to Download/ODIN Mode or Recovery Mode.

The original Samsung device Download/ODIN Mode is in English & IT IS CALLED ODIN MODE :) with KNOX information in it.

The original Samsung device Recovery Mode is in English & you can't flash any thing other than Samsung Signed flashable zip files.

Most (if not all) Samsung Fakes are made by Chinese manufacturer & some information are written in Chinese specially the Bootloader+Recovery Mode+Download Mode.

Third, another way (slower) to spot a FAKE (any devices not only Samsung) is to install CPUID on the device & run it on the spot before you make a deal.

To get into Download Mode

Power OFF the Phone

Press and hold volume down, home and power buttons at the same time then release when the display is ON

You are in the Download/ODIN Mode

To get into Recovery Mode

Power OFF the Phone

Press and hold volume up, home and power buttons at the same time then release power button when the display is ON

You are in the Recovery Mode

Hope this helps other :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Go to the App Store and download: Phone Info (Samsung)

It will give you a lot of info including whether the phone was stolen or not.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Apoka:
Must be a legit one I have then cos i can get into odin and have the knox count. Strange the box said different specs though, was a sealed box when i bought it.

Thanks guys
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
It sounds like you have a SM-N10F but a box for a SM-N910C. Both are n4 maybe of its second hand it's the only spare box they had.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vndnguyen:
The simplest way to check is using the app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ from the Play Store. Then enter the menu 'Refurbishment Check'.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Simonetti2011:
AndroIDentity is an app that can tell the real ID of a device. If run on a fake phone it will not be recognized as a genuine one, and if the fake is on its database, it will tell what the real manufacturer and model it is. Besides, it also identifies several other hardware and software parameters (such as the presence of Knox, JAva VM runtime, memory, screen size, and several other parameters) that will also help identifying if the device is Genuine or not. AndroIDentity recognizes 15,950 devices.

The white text is the only thing that shows when the display is dim, rest appears when it is awake.

Time shows when cards come up on the screen if you have preview enabled, and charge/cloud icons appear above the time and do not get jumbled in it.

Single digit minutes show up as "o' six" so it don't look odd.

Would you be able to make a more dynamic version? for example one that stays all the writing on all the time (battery wise its the same thing, since the g watch has lcd not amoled), and to insult the day of the week also? ( fvck! It's monday, shiet, it's tuesday...you get my drift). If you can, put it on play store, I, and probably many more, would be more than willing to pay a dollar or two for a more dynamic version of this ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oblivion0:
I've had this issue for a while since installing NB4 rooted on my phone. Can't seem to get downloads from Chrome (or any other browser) to save to my device.

Also having a weird and possibly related issue with my camera apps (Google Camera and Camera Zoom FX), neither is saving any image captures. Camera Zoom is returning "Error Code 2" pertaining to my SD card.

I fear this may be a SD card permissions bug that I triggered when trying to troubleshoot a nandroid restore issue via doing a "Fix SD Card Permissions".

I've tried the platform.xml fix for <group gid="media_rw" />.

Trying to avoid starting fresh...help please?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan547:
Hi everyone,

I was so glad to received 5.0 OTA yesterday, and install it immediately (version 22.21.11 after updated). But I experienced a lot of problems, so I went to Moto and they tell me to perform a partition wipe. Here is the thing, after I follow their operation tips, my phone won't show me the secret menu, so I can't perform partition wipe, and my phone just keep doing some weird things like killing the background apps. Most frustrating thing is that I cannot even launch the camera using the magic twisting gesture!

Anyone can get into the secret menu under the recovery mode? I don't want to unlock my bootloader yet. Thx

update: after google for a while, there is a new way to find the secret menu according to shamelin73

Get to your boatloader first, select the recovery tab. Once the android comes up with "no command"

Push the power button first, while doing that, press the volume up.

That'll put you into recovery.

(You don't have to hold the power button for a few seconds...it just has to be pushed first)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ADB100:
I think you are looking in the wrong place.....

When configuring the Authentication Type select 'Open' (the options should be Open, Shared, WPA or WPA-PSK (if you have one of the cooked AKU 3.3 or above ROM's then WPA2 & WPA2-PSK are also listed). In the Data Encryption box select WEP and then either type the WEP key or tick the box 'The key is automatically provided' if you are using RADIUS to Authenticate users.

If you select WPA then you only have the option of TKIP as the encryption type. If you select WPA-PSK then you must provide the Pre-Shared-Key. If you have an AKU 3.3 version that supports WPA2/WPA2-PSK then you can select AES encryption as well.

ArchLinuxARM for the tenderloin (HP TouchPad) - Native Boot with moboot

This is only tested on the Wi-Fi version. With a kernel swap, it should work on the tenderloin3g (LTE) tablet, though mobile data is highly unlikely to work. I also don't know if there exists a 3.4 kernel for the tenderloin3g, and you'd have to cherrypick many, many commits.

THIS REQUIRES A DATAMEDIA ROM.

Working:

3D Acceleration (OpenGL ES 2.0, Mesa) - can be unstable, however.

Wi-Fi (with NetworkManager)

Bluetooth

Audio (requires manual intervention)

Installation

MultiROM must already be installed, and you must already have a hardboot-capable kernel installed as well.

You will need a Terminal Emulator or ADB Shell to install.

This assumes that arch_tenderloin_20141210_root.tar.gz and uImage.Arch are already in the root of your internal storage (/data/media/0).

su
mkdir /data/local/arch
tar -C /data/local/arch -xpzvf /data/media/0/arch_tenderloin_20141210_root.tar.gz
mount -o remount,rw /boot
cp /data/local/uImage.Arch /boot/
mount -o remount,ro /boot

Booting

Select "Arch" on the moboot menu.

Read Me

If you WIPE DATA, it will also WIPE OUT THIS PORT, any applications installed with it, and all data saved under /home/arch!

Logging in

The username is "arch" and the password is "archlinux". Change the password ASAP.

For root, the username is "root" and the password is also "root". CHANGE THE PASSWORD ASAP!

You'll probably want to enable the On-Screen Keyboard (onboard) and set your Session to "MATE" up in the top right corner.

Making audio work after boot requires you to open a terminal, run alsamixer, set speaker_stereo_rx up by one, and then set PCM Playback Sink Rear up by one. The headphones are controlled by the mixer channel named Headphone. The speakers are controlled by the mixer channel named Output.

[Other TouchPad Development] metal1f3:
I'm having the same problem. So does webos need to be installed for this to work?
[Other TouchPad Development] castrwilliam:
Unfortunately, even though web OS isn't required for any functionality (back in the TP ubuntu days it was needed for audio), I stupidly left /dev/store/root (web OS root) in the /etc/fstab file for this build.

Next build will include optional portable VSXu player, several emulators, newer Mesa GL, and an audio patch. I'll archive it as soon as I can slim it down.

GNOME 3 even sorta works, but don't actually use it because there are unrendered black squares and it's quite slow on this device.

Cant wait! My touchpad is awesome now. Arch ftw. :laugh:
[Other TouchPad Development] preflex:
This is awesome! Thanks a lot, castrwilliam! Nearly everything is working well for me, even KDE!

Chromium has very good touch support. You can enable pinch-to-zoom in chrome://flags . Extemsions, such as uMatrix, work fine. Finally, a good web browser on HP touchpad!

However, I do have a couple small questions.

In KDE, when I enable compositing in kwin_gles using opengl, the colors are reversed (blue is displayed as orange). Is there any way to fix this? When using xrender, it's ok, but I have to disable lots of effects to get decent performance. HW acceleration would be nice.

In future images, could you please include touchegg-gce from AUR? It's really helpful, and I'd imagine that pretty much anyone using this without hw keyboard and mouse would find it useful.

Stupid newbie question (Sorry, I'm new to Arch Linux): Speaking of AUR, is there an easy way to automatically set arch to 'armv7l' in PKGBUILDs in yaourt? It's kind of a pain to edit them every time.

Started running this last night. But, it takes a little extra work. I run evervolv 5.0.2 dulaboot with webos. I also use twrp. With all those, /boot is too small to add. About .5Mb too small. My solution was to cut uImage.TWRP from boot and store a copy elsewhere until needed. That gave me the nesecarry room I needed. When I need TWRP again, I will temp move uImage.Arch and put twrp back in.

Also, it needs some modifications to compile with GCC 5.2, which is by now the default on Arch. Same goes for compiling the most updated xf86-video-freedreno, it hangs Xorg. (Including mesa and libdrm dependencies with freedreno options enabled)

For the rest of things, i've updated everything and software works nicely.
[Other TouchPad Development] Shiggity:
No problem. Take your time.
