What happens if the country is changed to a language in which the phone does not have the appropriate font to display that? Will ads just show white squares or question marks? Likewise, perhaps a dummy font with all blank characters could be installed on the phone, causing ads to essentially be blank? Would be interesting.

hi, thanks for the great app, other than the refurbishment test is there a way to find out if the phone is brand new or already used ? i want to install it before i buy a galaxy s6 edge+ but since the phone is old people are saying it has to be refurb or atleast used since older phones are super hard to find in iran. assuming if the refurb test passes, how can i check if it was used before for example "how many times the phone has been connected to the charger" based on the google play page of the app. i have a meeting in the sellers shop to check the phone and i dont know how to check if it's used before when i install the app on it... already installed it on a huawei but since the brand is not supported i couldnt tell heads or tales from it. sorry for taking your time, a reply would be greatly appreciated

Hi. Sorry for late reply.

Honestly it is hard to answer to your question.
This is not only the problem with Samsung phones but also with any other brands.
There is no reliable way to tell if the phone has been used and how long/how frequently it has been used.

This app was trying to discover as much as possible such type of information in the PERSONAL tab (e.g usage counters, Battery Discharge Cycles, Battery Health, Knox status, etc).
But unfortunately those info are not always available.
i.e it depends on the phone model, phone rooting, etc...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

965/5000 Doubt with the information of the battery discharge cycles.

Hi good day:

I sent my Samsung phone as a guarantee because I had a problem with the battery. The technical team made the diagnosis to determine the cause of the problem and they told me that the battery was damaged and had to be replaced.

After 3 days they handed me the phone, and on the diagnostic sheet they gave me, they mentioned that they changed the battery.

Check the part of the battery discharge cycle of the application after the phone was supposedly delivered "with the new battery" and shows the same battery discharge cycles it had before my phone had the supposed "new battery ".

My question is: in the application, the information that shows about the battery discharge cycles, should the battery cycle counter be zeroed because it is a new battery? o Will the meter not change despite having a new battery?

I want to make sure that they really changed my battery but the application already got me thinking and I feel that they didn't change it

On rooted Oreo phones with the latest SuperSU v2.82R5 using both Samsung Phone Info and Shortcut Master, there's an java.lang error when trying run any RILServiceMode commands like com.sec.android.RILServiceModeApp/<android_secret_code:0011:0>
https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4514309&d=1527711585

I've read on an FDroid developer changelog that the java.lang error can be ignored by the catch exexption, and it should work fine. Supposedly it's a non-fatal error.
"Ignore dumb java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException"
The app is called SuperFreezZ, and maybe you can get in touch with him to see if you could figure this issue out.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/superfreeze.tool.android/

The normal ADB "broadcast" command doesn't work either for secret_codes, nothing pops up on the phone.
adb shell am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://0011
Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE dat=android_secret_code://0011 flg=0x400000 }
Broadcast completed: result=0

While playing around with Logcat on a rooted G930U on Oreo, I've noticed that the android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE requires permission to the com.sec.factory.permission.KEYSTRING, which might be the key enabling it on newer Androids. Interestingly if I insert a 520K test dongle into the phone and go to the dialer, it enables a lot of normally non-working secret codes directly on the keypad (including *#27663368378#, *#22745927#, *#33725327#, etc. maybe it enables the factory keystring??)
Filter #5: BroadcastFilter{ac06490}
Action: "android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE"
Scheme: "android_secret_code"
AutoVerify=false
requiredPermission=com.sec.factory.permission.KEYSTRING

Not sure if it's just me, so if anyone has any solution sending the Secret_Code over ADB successfully on Oreo or higher, please let me know.
I miss those commands so bad. :(

Hi to all Guys.

From the Samsung Service Center I had the Note8 battery replaced.
I can see that Your Application gives me back a number of Discharges same (equal) as before the battery replacement.
Someone Know the the reason?
Where does that number read the application? From the same battery?
The Application is wrong or... the battery is not really replaced? :(

I would really be very grateful in an your answer, I would eventually return to Assistance and report it.

Thank you in advance.

This info is safed on the Mainboard, not in the battery.
If it really was an athorized Samsung Service, then they forgot to reset battery stats.
You cant do this yourself without root, so best would be to send it in again.

After update to One Ui 2.0 on my S10 5g (Exynos) charging cycle counter disappeared. Is it Phone info SAM bug or missed feature? Does One Ui 2.0 still storage information about charging cycles?

Last update was in Dezember 2019.

Samsung started selling phones with Android 10 on December 5th (with letter C, there is no letter Z in this word). So it's out for 1.5 months now. I understand it's a free software but something tells me the developer might have heard of Android 10 coming out :) All recent models got 10 OTA update by now.

Program, called "phone INFO" can't show the main phone INFO, called IMEI? LOL

    Solution for "Error type 2" message

    If you got the "Error type 2" message (see the attached screenshot) when trying to launch a secret code (in the 'Secret Codes' menu) or 'CSC Changer', 'CSC Verifier', 'ServiceMode MAIN MENU' (in the 'Other Tools' menu), you need to update SuperSU app to the version 2.49 (currently still Beta) or later, and also update its binaries.

    Here is how:
    - Download the zip file at http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
    - Extract and get the Superuser.apk file from the 'common' folder inside it.
    - Install Superuser.apk, it will ask to update the binaries to the latest version. Let it update.
    - Reboot the phone.
