[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevae:
of course with samsung everything that seems like it would be that easy, never is. samsung america will NOT comment whatsoever on the g935f, because it is not an american device. they act like they are completely handicapped if you ask them about anything that is NOT carrier specific. It, of course, was the first thing i did. then i tried to call the uk customer support, but the time difference kept screwing that up. and on top of all that, i had to make a decision today, or get stuck. so that is why i was buggin.

however, tonight i drove across town to the bestbuy, and held a few of theirs in my hands while the guys were busy with other customers, and that made me feel a lot better, as several of those also had writing that was hard to see. only on the edge, not the reg s7, which was very clear. then i had the samsung rep look it over, check all the coding and he said it was legit. so i am done. i will keep it, and feel great about it. all day it has performed very well, and all sensors work perfectly. i've done motion sensors, bluetooth, cameras, wifi, etc... it all checked out. so thank you for anyone who commented to this thread. i appreciate the efforts. cheers!

yeah, i've been killing myself to find a white one. definitely a very difficult task, especially if you are NOT willing to pay over a thousand dollars for it. they have them on ebay for

$1,150.00. But i'd settled for a black one before paying that. so i have my very rare white one, and it's all good now. and i actually paid a hundred less than the first one i got. so very happy with the end result.

Worth every penny for a fake white one. Everyone knows white makes it faster. That's why best f1 cars are mostly white

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] h3ck:
So the writing on the back is blacked out because of the change from the fCC that doesn't mandate the imei and other info be displayed. So since the phone is blacked out they made it dark so you can see if you look closely but not if you are far away. Phone is made in multiple locations, and honestly only way to be 100% sure is to check hardware which you did. That can't be spoofed easily and takes work. Also, if it's real you should be able to register it on Samsung's website. If you can register it. Chances are your are good.

Mine says made in vietnam and the texts in the back are barely noticeable (i got the black variant tho) but im 100% sure my device is legit since i got it from a legit source. Where did you get yours? If its somewhere fishy then you should worry. If its from a trusted source then dont worry at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] annt6:
My last 3 samsung devices including this one are all made in vietnam. I bought them all from my carrier. The text on the back is a little hard to see at certain lighting.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevae:
yeah, i installed that app this afternoon, and it says it's all good. except my scs says nordic se. that's the only thing that stuck out. but after seeing all of that, comparing it to other s7 edge devices in a bestbuy tonight, and speaking with their guy, i am satisfied it is all good. runs really fast, and the battery life has lasted all day with very little drain.

yeah, i feel a lot better after you guys were telling me that yours was made in vietnam as well. i'd just never paid attention before to that. but i got it off an online store. they of course say they are legit, but you never know if you can walk in and see. anyway, all's well that ends well. and i am cool with it now. thanks for the comment.

Inspection procedures :

First, observe the outside . With your description , about 70% of it is a fake product.

Next, you download the CPUZ app. You can check all information of hardware, compared to the manufacturer's specifications .

Finally, press * # 0 * # , you can test status of hardware: Sensors, screens ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Yes the Galaxy S7E is made in Vietnam.

Put your IMEI into a wbsite like this: http://www.imei.info

It should confirm what it is. Also, install CPUZ and see what processor, memory etc are in there. A fake one will usually have cheaper internals.

Don't forget to register it either. You get perks the more Samsung phones you register with them.

here are the two i posted earlier. but after going to bestbuy and looking at their s7e's, they are also very lightly printed as well. strangely, the reg s7 is extremely clear. but the s7e's i've seen were similar to mine. anyway, i checked it with phone info app, cpuz and the imei.info website, and everything checks out. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mrcricket23:
Put it in bootloader mode if the normal Samsung stuff comes up you're good. Also check for a fingerprint scanner Im around phones a lot since I work in wireless retail. I have yet to see a fake phone with a finger print scanner.. But you can usually tell just by the feel/quality etc

South Korea is the #1 foreign investor in Vietnam. That's why a lot of S7/Edge phones will say made in Vietnam.

Hi guys , new to all this but hoping someone can help me. I brought a galaxy s7 the other week.. Was chekap and now I knw why... When I got it home bragging how good a deal I had got my lovely step daughter pick the phone up, popped the back off it and said its a fake....battery wasn't orig . Then after she had finished playing with it, each time it fires up now the start up page has lost the galaxy s7 logo and now it has mediatrex across it and all the app layout is totally different. I will live with the fact that it's a clone, but would at least like to see it say galaxy s7 and have the layout of one... Can anyone plse tell me how I can re install it so it at least looks like the real deal.. Thks in advance. Bill

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] YrrchSebor:
Sadly I bought a fake S7 Edge. Very first thing I noticed was the display didn't look as good as it should. Then, no 4G, only Edge. Finally, cpuz showed the processor as Mediatek, and there was not the regular download mode, it has a strange little screen to get to either recovery or fastboot mode. Cpuz also says battery capacity is only 1000 mAh. Sad

Folks, I think I just got a couple fake Galaxy S7s. They are still wrapped up, so I can return them. It sure looks like an official one, but it says "Phone Made In China" on the IMEI sticker. It's also says model SM--G930FD on the package. Is there a way to tell without opening the box?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
check using the link in post number 34 above. You can get the imei from the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Simonetti2011:
AndroIDentity is an app that can tell the real ID of a device. If run on a fake S7 (or fake whatever) it will not be recognized as an S7. Besides, it also identifies several other hardware and software parameters (such as the presence of Knox) that will also help identifying if the device is a Genuine S7 or not. AndroIDentity recognizes 15,950 devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Vanja011:
I got worried too about my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge after reading this thread since I got it from ebay and the color is pink. Can't tell anything from the box since I don't have it but after working perfectly for a year it started giving me many problems which I was not able to solve and Samsung is not willing to help since I didn't purchase it through them or one of their authorized carriers. I like buying unlocked phones especially since I moved back to Serbia from US and it's much cheaper plus I got a 50% off on any plan I chose from my local MTS provider if I have my own unlocked phone which is awesome. I watched some videos and compared it but am still not 100% sure if it's a fake one or not. It says G935FD with very small lettering on the bottom of the back so please help me out with finding out weather it's a clone or not. Planning to buy S9 soon when I can find an Exynos version but was going to keep this phone for a spare one and install Oreo on it. Don't know which source to trust now about buying the S9 and not ending up with a fake so some help with that would also be appreciated. Thanks guys in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] YrrchSebor:
Two things I would do: run the device's IMEI number through an IMEI checker on a website such as Swappa or something, and see what comes up. Also download an app from the Play Store, like CPUz, that gives information about your device, such as the processor, the RAM, the camera Hardware etc etc, and see if it matches up for what should be in a legitimate S7 Edge. I ended up with a clone S7 Edge and found out for sure when an app, it might have been CPUz, returned a different processor, different camera specifications etc.

Hello guys,

Kindly check the attached screenshot taken from my device "HTC one E9w"

View attachment 3720112

The red highlighted area is untouchable! and the last point I could touch is mentioned with arrow!

I think this problem starts recently! without any reasons :crying:

Can you please help me!

Update*

I think this problem is caused from the software! because the same dead column area on the left of the screen appear in the middle also! No I face huge difficulties to write anything using keyboard! I should rotate the screen many times to touch some characters!
[One (E9+) General] XDA-Dev.:
It's a strange issue .

Did you try to reboot to recovery and see how the screen behaves there , if you have the red line/bar in recovery or if that is still unresponsive even there?

P.S : By recovery , i mean touch recoveries as stock recovery can may only show red bar , but you cannot check touch functionality.
[One (E9+) General] Ghorab:
Hello XDA-Dev,

My device's screen looks normal, but the highlighted area is not touchable, I colored it with red to highlight it only, but it looks normal.
[One (E9+) General] Ghorab:
Any solutions guys?
[One (E9+) General] XDA-Dev.:
Did you try to use touch recovery to check if touch works there.
[One (E9+) General] Ghorab:
There's no functions in TWRP in this area on my screen to try the touch!
[One (E9+) General] kl09:
I've come across the similar problem. But just temporarily. After screen-locking the phone and unlock the phone, it turns back normal.
[One (E9+) General] XDA-Dev.:
Reboot to TWRP recovery. Then wait for a while to let the screen go off. After that, touch the dead area of screen to see if the screen recognizes the touch and wakes up or not.
[One (E9+) General] Ghorab:
​

I tried it seems that this area is dead..!!

Also sometimes the toucg screen goes crazy with random touch's :crying: !!??

I think this problem is caused from the software! because the same dead column space on the left of the screen appear in the middle also! No I face huge difficulties to write anything using keyboard! I should rotate the screen many times to touch some characters!
[One (E9+) General] Ghorab:
Please Help me!
[One (E9+) General] XDA-Dev.:
Ghorab , had this been a software issue , you would never have the same problem in recovery(you explained earlier that you are not able to wake the device touching the dead screen part in recovery).

Sorry to say , but it is certainly a hardware defect.

With Xposed and without It

Always the camera is working good, but later it stop by itself, when this thing happen Facebook do not reproduce videos and Youtube either.

I tried even downgrade Facebook and Youtube because I read that new updateswere the problem.

I tried everything possible to keep the root and the great work with those kernels made by genius.

but sadly if you are reading this and those apps are not important for you, then keep trying.

What I did now is that I back up all the apks into a folder to install one by one because without root, titanium backup doesnt work.

I read many post and still do not find any combination that works ok.

[General Accessories] Kevinisyoung:
Alright so last night I wake up from this dream. I've got the nexus 5x, and go to best buy. Boom, first thing I see is an nfc enabled wireless charging pad. I buy it, plug it in, my phone actually charges with it. So when I woke up, I was like, "What's stopping that from actually existing?" Nothing. The more you think about it the more it totally makes sense. Okay, so think about it. Your phone's nfc obviously is hooked up somehow in your motherboard and is connected to your battery. Usually the nfc stickers you find on places don't have power hooked up to them, so what's from stopping us on making a second nfc chip that, when it communicates with your phone, sends power instead of data? The power just goes right back into your phone's battery again, from your phone's internal nfc chip. Wireless charging on nfc only phone's. This could help people with more budget based phones to finally have wireless charging, and nfc isn't even expensive anyways. mind blown? or nahhh
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
Sorry to disappoint you, but it will not work! For several reason

1. NFC is circuitry in the phone is made for small currents.

2. NFC antenna resonates at a different frequency than the WiCh antenna.

3. It would mean a total redesign of the thing (if possible due to physics limitations) and will certainly not be possible to back-port to current devices!

PS: Dreams are easy; engineering is a tad bit more complex.

[Palm Treo 750] pirulino23:
First, my palm 750 was having the problem that it got stuck like always, and when it finally started working, i had no signal at all, radio on, turned off and back on, hard reset, soft reset, nothing. So then I saw that there was WM6 and upgrading sounded like a good idea. Started looking for the rom and i found the voda WM6 rom, followed the instructions and when it was upgrading the battery felt cuz I didn't put back the cover (my bad). After that, I tried to turn on the fone and all I got is the Bootloader screen, have read a lot and all the answers are to format the card to fat32, or to switch computers, I've used like 3 different cards, checked on 3 pc's, used another card reader and all I got is the boot screen, if I put the card in it says loading, press the end call botton, start updating and then got stuck after splash1 and bootloader says ok. What I'm wondering is if the it is a hardware problem was before the update I had no signal, and now it got stuck on the gsm part of the update. Any Ideas?? this is a really expensive paperweight!!!!!
[Palm Treo 750] summiter:
A couple thoughts...first, when it gets to the GSM portion of the flash it takes significantly longer than the others, so you might just need to be a bit more patient. Run it again and leave it alone for 10 minutes.

If you can get to the bootloader screen, your device is not bricked. You didn't mention what carrier your device is from..is it a Vodafone device? If so, you might be able to just connect the device to your PC while it's in bootloader mode and run the full Vodafone updater on your PC. There's a chance that this method might not work if a partial flash has left your device in a state that the PC based updater can't identify.
[Palm Treo 750] pirulino23:
Thanks, and well it is a Cingular Treo, and I left the updater running several times for more than 3, 4 hours until the battery run out, and well, keep being stuck at gsm part, tried the tool that is on the update but after some % it got disconnected, any ideas???
