[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
Hallo.

Just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 from an e-Bay trader. I think the dealer has a Chinese seat but the phone was shipped from England.

Please have a look at the photos. I also have a box of the original Polish version. It is in both cases the Exynos variant: SM-N910C.

The boxes are slightly different in the color of the printing: Polish ink is slightly darker than the new variant. On the back side of the package the dubious box has "WiFi Certified" instead of "HD Voice", which is labeled on the Polish box. Everything else is equal.

If the device is nominally a SM-N910C model, however it is sold for the Arabic market, can I assume that this device still is technically strictly equivalent to the variant for the European market never the less? Could it be that different or inferior components are used for different Markets? Does Samsung use different tolerances for different markets? Or is the device absolutely identical to the European variant?

Is there a way to check whether this device is an original Samsung Note 4 without opening the box?

Thanks for the hints!

In which country is the Note 4 being produced? I know that the Polish Variant of the Model SM-N910C is produced in Vietnam. My Model is produced in China however. So is it a fake or is the Note 4 being produced in both countries? How does the SM-N910C from Vietnam differ from the SM-N910C from China? Are they technicaly identical? Is one country better" than the other? Are there different parts and tolerances being used?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
Note 4's are being produced in vietnam and china....The ones being produced in china are not fake (in my country we get 910c which is made in china under official warranty). You can download an app called "phoneinfo" from playstore it will tell you whether you have a genuine samsung phone or not. The 910C being made in china and Vietnam are identical and have no difference.....no quality preference i have seen many phones from both countries. However this is my personal opinion and experience, a senior member may guide futhur on "different parts and tolerances" being used.

Dont worry about the box. In my country some people import brand new phones and ask the sellers to send phone and accessories only. They do this to avoid custom duty (which is levied on new phones only) so they pose as if they are importing a used phone. Then the use a locally made clone box to sell the phone.....the phone itself and the accessories are mostly original.

If the s-pen works while hovering above the screen then it's a real note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
If you turn it on, you will see right away the on the screen.

Replicas will never have SAMOLEDs and you will see right away the difference in colors and they are so obvious.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
The Polish C-version, which is manufactured in Vietnam and no doubt original, has an internal memory of 24,65GB (according to Kies and Windows). The new Arabic C-version, which has been manufactured in China, has an internal memory of 24,57GB (again, according to Kies and Windows). Could this be a sign for a fake phone or are such minor differences and fluctuations normal and due to the manufactoring process?

CPU Z and Phone Info show absolutely identical hardware, only the internal memory is slightly smaller in the China-manufactured device. The China-version is slightly faster in the Antutu and Geekbench benchmarks however. So, can I now finally and definitly be SURE that the nev, China-made Note 4 is an original, genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C and is definitly NOT a fake ?

Hmm .. Could all you Note 4 owners write here which version you have, where it was manufactured ​​and how big the internal memory is.

Many many thanks!

P.s.: Where is the N910F (Snapdragon-Version) being produced?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] injulia:
Yes, just instal free "Phone Info" from play store, we'll know it fake or not.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
FYI: It's definitly original.. Best way to find out is the Antutu Officer..

Other possibility:

- (Samsung) Phone Info

- CPU-Z

- KIES

Told you....if it has SUPER AMOLED (PURE BLACKS)...and S-pen hovering works....then its deffo an original phone.

Hello fellow xda members. Looking around the forums, I noticed many questions posted regarding Samsung pay, so I will create this thread to keep all information and questions regarding Samsung Pay in one location, rather than spread across different threads.

The following are questions that I have seen the most, with simple answers that keep being asked time after time. If you have other questions feel free to ask.

1) Q: Will samsung pay work with root?

A:

2) Q: I am rooted, can I unroot and use Samsung pay?

A:

3) Q: My Knox counter is tripped, can I use Samsung Pay?

A:

4) Q: I have tripped Knox, can I restore stock firmware and reset the counter?

A:

5) Q: I am not rooted and my Knox counter is not tripped, why am I not able to open and use Samsung Pay?

A:

6) Q: I am not rooted, Knox counter is not tripped, or have any disabled packages, and still cannot use Knox.

A:

7) Q: Can I use an xposed package to hide root & custom status to enable Samsung Pay?

A:

8) Q: Samsung Pay does not work with my cards, even though its visa, mastercard, etc.

A:

For now, this are the most common questions I can think of. I will update the thread if needed. Feel free to ask more questions or report any typos or contradictions :o

Hey guys,

I'm currently running on XtreStoLite, however since it hasn't been updated for a while I'm looking for a new rom.

WETA and Vader seem nice, but I'm not sure which one I should choose.

Any pro and cons for one over the other? Possibly some different rom recommendations?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] humanBREW1:
Hi there! I've just wanted to tell you my little adventure with roms...

One day I was looking for some good food for my phone, that turned so slow and outdated, reading browsing, I found a post from Rogod on another forum, wich said that JB and KK kernels were also compatible with s7500l and s7500t I decided to take the risk...

First, CWM 6 is a must! had to edit update-script to remove asserts...

first 10 minutes of boot were awful... I almost pissed in my pants when I saw just a black screen!!! but oh... It's a issue because of compatibility stuff or so.. so i just tapped twice the power button to lock/unlock screen and voila.... KK on my latin phone.

THE LESSON:

KitKat loves to eat battery energy, so I suggest in extreme cases to not flash gapps or at least freeze them when not in use.

Also never mess with button backlight options or.. blank screen until restore.

Use Xposed with greenefy to hibernate stuff not in use...

Battery lasts 6h whatsapping or ocassional use... with frozen gapps it makes 10.

I'm waiting for updates, and tremendous THANKS FOR ALL YOU DEVELOPPERS, without you I wouln't enjoy current sw and nice stuff on my phone. I'll go thank your contributions right away!!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] juancmb:
Everything works fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] humanBREW1:
:( there's an annoying bug with the screen, so when you get notifications with screen locked it's hard to unlock the screen.

so you could do this: have shortcuts of the im apps you use and the phone app so they dissapear when you slide the lock where the icons should be, press power, and then pres power again, now you should be able to unlock your phone.

another option is to drag notifications panel and imaginarily swipe away the notifications and try to unlock again.

For the camera, the tutorial of Flash Fixer works fine, you won't be able to toggle on/off the flash but it will be automatic, use google camera, included in the rom.

Battery drain is hard time but killing google you get a few hours of happiness more.

Also there are no keypad lights. be carefull setting button lights. they must be setted to keep on at all times orr black screen and you will need to reset your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Androidioid:
Hi all,

I'm currently using Novafusion CarbonROM 4.4.4, TWRP v2.8.0.0 with the f2fs filesystem. I want to goto OmniROM 5.1.1 (found here) which I understand doesn't use f2fs but ext4.

How do I have to go about doing this?

Can I use the current TWRP to convert from f2fs to ext4 and after that use it to write the new ROM, or?

Thanks in advance for your insights :)
[General Questions and Answers] Androidioid:
Nevermind, I managed;

- formated all partitions to ext4 with TWRP through the Wipe function;

- updated to the latest TWRP with the latest Odion;

- updated to OmniROM
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
Ever since I updated to lollipop (rooted and otherwise), I'm getting a weird effect:

Every time I turn on the screen, the contrast appears at very high settings and fades to normal resolution in about a second or two.

Grey pixels go from very light grey to normal (dark) grey.

Any idea why this is, or how to stop it?

I can confirm this is lollipop related. Both my Z3 and my Z3 tablet compact have the same behavior after updating.

Even among recent Samsung chargers there is a difference in rates. For example, my Note 4 adaptive fast charger works fine charging the S 10.5. I updated to the Note 5 and its adaptive fast charger takes forever to charge the S 10.5. (I occasionally use the phone charger for top off since the tablet charger is upstairs).
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
I found a website that does reviews of usb charger`s even the fakes to see how safe they are, (it will scare the life out of you) and some are virtually impossible to tell from the original , so my advice is do not buy cheap non-brand charger that come from china (I had two go bang in a week, nearly killed my HTC M7) so if you buy and Samsung or Apple or another brand and the price is too good to be true, it`s most likely a fake, unless you buy from the Apple or Samsung website, or some of the big retailers.

The SKulls at the right of the usb charger listing means the charger is perpetually deadly, but the list also contains some very good third-party chargers at cheap prices, see the big green ticks.
