This app seems kind of cool but I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly. You may need to just create and test your own way.

Mainly checking if it was used before, new as claimed, all works and not a fake.

Android Pay tap and Pay with Watch

Just curious has anyone heard of an this working. I find it a bit odd that tap and pay works with pay pal, but not with Android pay. Will that come in a future update?
No NFC on the watch, so that will not come to this watch.

Android pay will never work, no NFC chip on board. I'm tying to find where you see paypal works? Don't be confused by paypals in application purchase and actual live tap to pay. I don't see anywhere that paypal generates bar codes which would be one way to pay in person, so if it uses NFC with this watch it's a no go as well.
Found some additional info on the paypal system. Right now only some samsung watches and pebble have the app that will allow the watch to use the low energy becons to connect with bluetooth. Only the watch is needed and does not have to be connected to a phone. This also lets us know right away some type of app will need to manage the bluetooth connection with the low energy becon, if you find a store that has one?
"When a customer walks into a retail area that is covered by a PayPal Beacon signal inside, they will receive a push notification on their smartwatch."
Actually it's been confirmed that the Huawei Watch DOES have an NFC chip, it's just not functional yet. It has also been confirmed that Android Wear 2.0 will enable that chip and therefore allow us to use Android Pay with it.

Your first source cites your second source, so it doesn't really count. If you follow the citations of the second source (and the subsequent citations from those articles), you eventually get to an article that simply states that NFC will be enabled on watches that have it. Neither source presents credible evidence that the HW has an NFC chip.

can't you read english???
The Android Wear 2.0 update will bring a redesigned UI, optimized performance, Google Assistant, customizable watchfaces with Android Wear’s “complications”, and best of all, the update will enable the dormant NFC radio found in the Huawei Watch so it may be used for Android Pay.
And as I said, it's not the only source. But I'm not interested in knowing whether you believe it or not, I was just sharing something ffs

Oh hey! That sounds great! They even provided a "via" link so we can see where they got their information! Let's follow that:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Andr...-Huawei-Watch-before-the-end-of-March_id91964
Oh hey! Look at that! This source also says the HW watch has an NFC chip! And they also provide a "via" link so that we can see where they got their info! Let's follow that too:
https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/huawei-says-android-wear-2-0-hits-huawei-watch-march.html
Oh...wait a second. The term "NFC" only appears once in that article, and it's in this sentence: " With Android Wear 2.0, users will get access to a handful of new features that include things like Google Assistant, Play Store access so they can install apps right to the watch, and Android Pay support for those watches that have NFC." That doesn't tell us anything revolutionary now, does it?
Gasp! A retelling of a retelling of a retelling can get distorted? Who would have thought?
So in conclusion, what you are using as "evidence" that the HW has NFC are claims from two sources that claimed to have received their info from a source that doesn't mention NFC functionality in the HW specifically at all. Just that it will be enabled in watches that have the chip, which is news to no one here. Therefore, your sources do not support your claim.
Verifying sources: it's not just for scientists and students anymore.
And yes, I read English very well.

Yeah, sorry, no, you read that wrong. It happens.
Would be so cool if it was true.
BTW, I've seen your responses so I'll tell you now, "I'm letting you know, I'm not asking you."
Huawei Watch micro does have NFC support but the watch itself lacks of a suitable antenna to use it (as far as I know the WiFi one can't be used for that purpose) so no... we'll never have NFC on our first generation Watch and all rumors you can find on the Net are distorted news taken from unreliable sources (or, maybe, Huawei propaganda to justify the shameful delay in releasing the final Wear 2.0 update).

Huawei confirms the original Huawei Watch has NFC and Android Pay is being tested on it
Not making any judgements on the accuracy or otherwise
Just got a answer from HuaweiGermany.. the Huawei Watch definitly don´t has NFC built-in.. so more speculations about this and Android Pay are not neccessary

I'd trust that source over the ones that were presented earlier. "I heard it from Huawei" is a little more convincing than "I heard it from another article that never actually said it."

Then again, raider2k9 above, just heard from Huawei in person that there isn't any NFC. I think if there was an NFC chip in there it would definitely have come to light in the tear downs.

Replacement Rumours VS What We Know So Far On XDA

This thread will hopefully help anyone expecting a replacement Note 7 and distinguish the facts vs wild media 'grab articles'. Below are some gathered facts regarding replacements so far, including shared replacement experiences worldwide. Please add in your experience and any new facts.
The announcements by the media so far: (feel free to add in or correct this information in the thread, I will update anything that is confirmed)
• Samsung will block your devices from 30th September - (Unconfirmed)
• Samsung will force an OTA through carriers limiting your Note 7 to 60% charge - (Unconfirmed)
• Samsung is issuing refurbished devices - (False)
• Samsung have issued handsets only as a replacement without a box indicating a refurbished unit - (False)
• Samsung is indicating refurbished Note 7 devices (refurbished being recalled stock that is overhauled and reissued as the '2nd batch') via an 'RF' designation in front of the serial number - (False)
• Samsung have a black/blue Square on the replacement device boxes - (True)
• Samsung will have a blue 'S' on the boxes of new batch Note 7 devices - (Unconfirmed)
• Samsung will show a green battery icon via firmware on the new Note 7 batch - (True)
****What has been confirmed?****:
• The new devices have a black/blue square on the box
• Currently affected devices (at least in South Korea) will receive an OTA update to limit the charge capacity to 60% (Samsung have run newspaper ads)
• The serial number can start with 'RF', however, it is not indicative of a refurbished unit, Some of those who ordered directly from Samsung and received the very first units from the original batch had 'RF' beginning serial numbers. It doesn't indicate a refurbished device.
• From Tuesday 20/09/2016, affected devices in the UK will also receive a software update that limits the battery charge to 60% of its full capacity.
• Replacement batteries, some are still SDI, shown via the "batt_type" identification file on the new devices.
• Those who have reported in to XDA have all said that replacements were received in sealed boxes, a new device.
• Some users have been prompted with an error message affecting access to the Secure Folder and S Health. The error encountered on some replacement '2nd batch' Note 7 devices gives the following message:
Alert: Secure Folder cannot be setup because unauthorised software was installed on this device.
&
(S Health) Unable to open app: Your device has been compromised. Because of a new security policy introduced in version 5.0, Knox is not available on compromised devices.
If you're affected, XDA user @violet182 discovered that resetting the firmware using the 'Software update and initialisation setting' via SmartSwitch on a PC/Mac will resolve the issue.
What does this all mean? Well, it points to a frantic media running as many reports as they possibly can, greatly adding to the confusion as anything and everything is being reported without much investigation. Above are facts gathered from our very own community, by sharing first hand experience as Note 7 owners we can stay ahead of the rumour mill.​
Firstly well done for this thread
• Samsung is indicating refurbished Note 7 devices (refurbished being recalled stock that is overhauled and reissued as the '2nd batch') via an 'RF' designation in front of the serial number
Explain this then to the idiot's in the media ...
My 1st Note which received on the 30th August 2016 had RF in from of the serial
My replacement which i received 12th September 2016 has RF in front of the serial
So my 1st which I ordered from Samsung UK direct and was in 1st 1000 was a refurbished model ??? say is as I still have it at home
Ok to share my experience for this thread...
Country of Purchase - UK
Phone Supplier - O2
Date original received - 30/08/16
Date Replacement Recieved - 12/09/16
Sticker on replacement box - Small black square
Serial Number Starting Letters (Original) - RF
Serial Number Starting Letters (Replacement) - RF
Manufacture Date of Replacement - 01/09/2016
Country of Manufacture - Vietnam
The whole RF being a refurb is bull how can my device be manufactured on the 1st of the month, be sent out, sold to a customer, returned to Samsung, refurbished, sent back out to the network provider and then sent to me within 11 days!
Received mine today (Canada). Original = 08/31/16, replacement = 09/15/16. Small black square on box, Made in China, serial number opening characters on both original and replacement = R28.
Also just set up Secure Folder and no problems there as I wanted to test that line in OP.
edit: This might be completely unrelated to the exchange program, but my original had the screen protector placed inaccurately, in that the lower half of the top speaker+lens+sensors were covered by it, letting it get some air underneath and struggle to stay on with my case (at the top). The replacement is placed perfectly, and I mean I just grabbed my measuring tape and checked like the huge nerd I am and it is precise, just perfect.

Thanks for this, I'm going to amend the line accordingly. I have noticed with my replacement that the reported expansion gap (present on my first device) is no longer present, no light bleed can be observed either.

How can I see the manufacture dates? I checked on the box there's nothing nor on the little label on the back of the phone, just serial number and model number etc. The dates I gave are for when I received/activated the phones.

From Canada here. Received my replacement phone today. It is sealed in the box but it does not have black or blue dot or sticker. Not sure if I should open it still.

I find the manufacturing info to be terribly inaccurate. My GS7 clearly states "MADE IN INDONESIA" on the box, but the app says China.
I'm in abu dhabi. Unit manufactured July 30, serial number starts with RF. Waiting for replacement. Is anyone there returned the unit with box incomplete accessories? They accept?

yes i checked...it says unrecognized. but my old phone it says affected...so i'm assuming the new one is ok
My replacement also shows as unrecognised. I think you're okay to keep the device. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for anymore reports of a replacement in Canada not having a sticker, if another instance occurs I'll update.
Thanks for sharing!

Tab S4 - Live Demo Unit

Hello guys,
I acquired Samsung galaxy Tab S4 SM-T830X for 300 euros and it is live demo unit and I have a question how I can remove "retail" mode where I can not install some apps as Antutu and CPU-Z?
Should I root it or what to do?
Thank you in advance!

First off - Great to see you here - Noticed you had created a Tab S4 TWRP
Second - I agree with you. But if you are over here in the UK - CPW and O2 barely have any stock of these... Ive seen a couple of stores sell demo units in some capacities. Back in 2012 - When Comet went under - They were selling Demo units real cheap for IPADs etc because of administration.
If the user has picked up a demo unit lawfully (Notice how i say that ) Then it could be that a store was going to stock the device but due to delays in procuring etc (CPW had issues and pushed back release from Samsung by WEEKS!) they no longer plan to stock it.
Either way there are numerous reasons why they have a demo unit. Some legal some not so much... But either way while we dont know the full circumstances... We can assist if need be.
If the OP has stolen / obtained unlawfully then there is very little that can be done apart from to block the IMEI.
I wonder if the OP would like to tell us how he acquired said device,...

See that's the issue. These devices are not supposed to be released to the public, but destroyed.
I agree there are instances where demo devices end up in public hands, but not usually brand new recently released devices.
FRP is meant to protect unlawfully 'acquired' devices from being accessed and we get a lot of posts regarding that also.
I'd gladly assist anyone with a legitimate issue, but I feel uneasy with this sort of thing without actual proof of 'aquirement' especially considering posts related to unlawful practices are not allowed on XDA.
I'm not pointing fingers here, just voicing concern.
Thats very true with FRP. What should also be kept in mind here.
Samsung's retail mode is very different to the Retail Mode built into Developers Options.
Thing is - If the user does as my advice. Very quickly we will know if there is an issue with the device. It will ask for the original Google Account Assigned to the device ^_^
Lets see what happens
I removed retail software and flash new one and everything is working fine now... It was also some issues with charging but now everything is great. Like this forum!
Sorry for the inconvenience, but the guy sold me and I don't have idea how he got it... In my country there is no possibility to get it so soon after official release.
Can you share solution please
When I try to flash it says no flash interface found
I'd love to get a copy of the DeX switcher app that's included with the real Retail Mode.

Back with samsung

Hey folks. I just recently switched from oneplus to samsung. Haven't used a samsung device since the galaxy s5 with the bootloader unlock exploit.
Used LG for a while, then tried out the oneplus 8pro which is now at the repair center. I picked up what was advertised as an open box galaxy s20 + 5g (986u1) device.
After I powered it on, and set it up, I went to activate developer options and found that they were already on. Does that sound right that dev options would already be turned on if it was a new unused device?
Thanks.
Turn them off for your answer...
Yeah, I thought it sounded like a silly question.... Deserves a silly answer.

Appreciate that. I found it interesting, and bit concerning that a brand new device would have developer settings activated. I purchased from an ebay seller. Based on their high approval scores, I felt pretty safe. I'll probably question them about it. Thankfully, everything on the phone seems to be working well. Peace.

You could reflash it to make sure there's no possibility of a rootkit. Probably just a goofball tech...

From what you've shared it sounds like you're in the clear. "Open Box" offerings always give me pause since sellers rarely post why the item was unsealed. At times sellers declare they only opened the item for testing but unless the offer is at a considerable discount below a comparable new, sealed unit and listed by a reputable seller with a fair return policy I'd avoid it.
I recently purchased a Dell XPS laptop on ebay from a dealer specializing in refurbished units. The listing reflected the item as "new". Before confirming the order I reached out and asked is the laptop factually new, has it ever been used? The seller replied "It's new to us"? WTF does that mean? lol!

Yes seems odd no forum considering it's a totally different chip set to the original A52
yeah, seems no one is interested in this phone!! even XDA, which is weird. i wanna install Pixel Experience asap for this phone it will look awesome. maybe after a couple of months, when someone pays attention to this Model.
Yes I'm waiting for pixel experience ROM also , but I don't think there will be much for device seeing as already an earlier model but would be nice if it could be ported to the SD 778 model wishful thinking
I have made a request for a A52S 5G forum in the request new device forum thread.
So anyone with interest in development for the A52s please like my request here:
*** New Device Forum Requests ***
Please post all your requests here. The forum admins choose new device forums carefully, based on several factors. There's no guarantee your device will have a forum created here, but feel free to posts your requests in this thread :) Please do...
forum.xda-developers.com
+1, currently info for SM-A528B is scattered across the non-s A52 board and difficult to find (not to mention possible bricks because A52 != A52s)
Maybe request a sub-forum, like they do for t he s9 series and s8 series.... just a suggestion
I noticed that after updating to Android 12 after connecting to the car via bluethoot writes no network and does not show the signal status, now I noticed that during the call I occasionally flashes the display and the colors sometimes blink, do you think the display may be defective or software error?
Samsung A52 5G A526B
thank you very much for the advice.

Try to establish a new paring between your car (unpairing your car bluetooth from your phone and doing the same on your car). And always pair your car from its settings and not from your phone.
Had the same with mine and figured it out by myself.
I did a new pairing and it didn't help. I'm back to return Android 11
I also noticed that during the call, the screen flashes from time to time and the colors mix in various ways, only during the call. think that
is the display going?

I noticed that the signal will show me how to turn on the GPS, how the gps turn off the signal will not show.
did you do the same too?
Please consider creating a forum specific for the SD 778 based galaxy a52s 5g. I'm sure samsung will sell a lot of these so a dedicated forum would help to avoid confusion with the regular SD 750 based galaxy A52 5g...

Sorry to inform you, but I and many have had this model since it was released and always updated and to date it is working with the latest android 12 version and nothing to report.
If you have problems, you have to see the origin of them, going back to the previous android version is not the solution.
And it has nothing to do with releasing a new model, that's already conspiracy theories in your head.
