WT* Fake green battery icon without replacing device.

[dr.ketan]

Well, Again....

We have read that after replacement on device (Or by updating latest ROM), Your device status bar will have green battery icon as well you will have extra battery icon in power menu

OK, here is screenshot how easily it can be faked

Again this is not fake theme but faking that device is safe and that's why started charging 60% + which is more unsafe.

Responsible developer can never share this but what if someone have did this?

Even this can be toggle too. Look attached video

So Now before boarding, N7 users require to reach half an early and pass through an IMEI check by aviation authority is the only safer way? OR N7 users should ever need to keep their device turned off? lol !



Here screenshots : Initial screen where notice about device is unsafe and later two screenshots of fake icons.

This is bad if people can fake it. I was really looking forward to Note 7.,Now I'm thinking if I should go for the S7 edge or some other phone. Wouldn't want to waste 60k on a device that's unsafe.
But S7 edge has smaller screen, and I'm habituated to the big Note screens.

Tbh, I dont see this as an issue when phone is purchased from Authentic sources because Samsung will not play such cheap tricks particularly given the market they lost due to initial explosions. They simply cant afford it.

Having said that, getting a second hand or Grey market device would be very risky.
Also, the resale value of the device would go down.

 

[dr.ketan]

Exactly. There is no doubt about safety when we purchase from authentic source but yes I mean t say how about safety of other If someone sell in Grey market or second hand. Also what if some culprit take risk on board by switching on a unsafe device.
My humble request never buy a N7 which is already rooted.

How everything is going against the best phablet in market... Is just s matter of time every company had to face this once even aapke but none was highlighted... Il be sticking to samsung note 7 or s8 it is.... Where was this media when apple blasted ? This should be a self decision i am not suggesting any one here to do as i do, you all are intelligent enough

 

[dr.ketan]

Matter is how poorly coded safety check. If billion dollar company making a security measure such a way that can be fooled by 40min then it's disappointing. Secure folder and Knox are so hard coded that no one yet can break it on rooted device. Does such kind of security measure shouldn't apply here? This one is more important then Knox and secure folder. But just doing this because of hurry?

I don't see the green icon on the AOD display from the photos above. The new note has green battery on AOD!!!!

They absolutely rushed it.

So then the natural next question is did they rush fixing the battery issue itself?

Color me unconvinced by those pictures. How do we know the "warning" shot was taken after the "green battery" shots? Or how do we know that the IMEI of the phone in the "green battery" shots isn't good? There were phones (Chinese and Vietnamese) made in the first batches that always had "good" batteries. For consistency I'd imagine Samsung would push the "green battery" update out to those phones. There were 33 processes updated with the "green battery" update. I might be naïve but I'm assuming some of those updated processes were system files that aren't accessible without tripping KNOX. I could be wrong but so much in this thread is hearsay and lapped up by the audience as fact that I've become even more skeptical whenever OMG! is involved.

True enough.

But we have both been around long enough to realize that at some point the green icon will be replaceable with a white one and that the green will be able to be faked.

Bound to happen.

Which processes were updated exactly? Where is your source that says this?

 

[funkydude101]

Ok.

But what stops someone from changing the battery to a third party later, do they deserve the green icon? I think so.

If not, think about all the third party batteries out there...what makes them less likely to explode.

Dr Ketan is one of the most respected Samsung devs around here and has made Samsung Roms etc for years, I doubt he'd make this up or fake it to be honest.

I've been here for year's too. That doesn't mean you should believe everything I say. From being here that many years I'm well aware of @dr.ketan. I'm sure he'll be back to 'splain and fill in missing details.

My source is me. After you take an update when the phone reboots the first time it says "Android is upgrading." It counts down the number of files, apps, processes it's updating until it finishes and reboots.

I can let you know that delta airlines and a few airports only advise that the note 7 can't be charged or on while flying. They don't actually check. I just got back from Kansas today after being there since last Sunday and my phone was not checked at all. I even took pix and vids of the sky during flight. Atlanta, Minnesota, Kansas and ct are the state's I flew to/from. Going into tmobile tomorrow to exchange for the replacement.

Exactly there 's alot of possibilities that can s happen just like fake explode reports which were all made up to help down fall of samsung but one really can't help it when device is amazing

True enough.

Hey bro hote you been ? Then there's an imei checker to finally nail the final drill

He just made his point correct no where said dr ketan is wrong or spreading misleading info
