Samsung galaxy note 4 demo unit - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all brand new to the site go easy on me. I have been given a Samsung galaxy note demo unit, I know it cant be used as an actual phone but it make a decent mini tablet. I don't know where I can find the rom to get rid of all the demo stuff on it they take almost 15gb up. If anyone knows where I can get the stock firmware it be a huge help. Thanks

see if it can be booted in download mode (for galaxy s4 that's with home button and volume-down) and check out sammobile.com

[Q] Use galaxy s3 as a Note 2

everyone, this is what leads me to: our phone (gs3) with very little difference with Note2, I was wondering if it was possible to use it with the apk note2 namely S-Note. I use very often a capacitive stylus with my s3 and I would like to go further with. I am currently in JB with my GS3. I tried to fonctioner S-Note Version ICS but the application does not start at all.
Is there a project porting the ROM S3 S2?? Or is there a solution to run SNOTE? as well as the new Note 2 on S3?
Thank you in advance.
s note was on the gs3 when it first came out, can't remember when they removed it tbh

[Q] PROBLEM : HDC Galaxy Note 3 - Samsung Galaxy 1:1 Clone

Hello all,
I have bought a HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9006 1:1 Quad Core model.
The specs are:
MTK6582 Quad cores 1.3GHz Cortex A9+SGX544 GPU
Ram : 1GB
Rom : 4GB(Support TF Card up to32GB)
And i have a few problems with the device..
First of all, the biggest problem is the battery life.. The phone is on for about 1 up to 2 hours of semi-heavy usage. The screen brightness is set to the lowest one and still the battery life is really low. I dont know whether this is a software fault or the chinese battery is simply crap, so i dont know if there is any point in buying a genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 3 battery.
Secondly, i have an error on some of my apps saying that "Google services that some of your apps rely on, is not supported by your device.. ( screenshot included)" Does anyone know how to fix this problem on this HDC model?
Thirdly for some reason i keep on getting a message about roaming, ( i cant see the message fully, screenshot included) and i have to register my network again for it to disappear for a short period of time and then i have to repeat the same process again.
Lastly, i cannot update my youtube application and i get an error saying that i need to uninstall the previous version of the app. But the problem is that it wont let me delete the previous version.
I have searched everywhere to find the solution for this but i couldnt find anything, some say that a root will help but i have no idea how to root this phone, software wise etc.
I am new to this forum and im sorry if i posted in the wrong place.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, you are in the wrong forum, this is only a fake N9006! You should have also tried first to search about the same thing before posting again here!
Trying to install original Note 3 ROMs will very likely hard-brick your clone.
Your device however might be the same as the one discussed in this thread, so you should eventually look for more details there:

Mate, people on this forum own Note 3's, we have no idea...
Why don't you check with where you bought it? They should have more answers...
Otherwise, find a friend or person who has a Note 3 and ask to check...

Hate to say this, but your phone is a FAKE Note 3, not a clone.
If your phone was a clone, it would be identical in every way to
the real thing which would include the same specifications.
Clones are identical to the original Samsung Note 3, your phone
is nothing like the original except for the physical appearance.
As far as I know, there is NO such thing as a CLONE Galaxy Note 3.
Good luck!

Galaxy S6 Edge "leak free" edition

Hey guys. Few days ago i received Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge for testing purposes from Samsung Serbia. Sadly, S6 Edge is unable to run any kind of benchmarks, possibly do to being a "test" sample that has protection against leaking information before unveiling. Contacted Samsung and asked if there is something i can do, unfortunately they said they can't resolve the issue and my only option is to wait for retail samples for testing. My question is, is there anything i can do to remove those benchmark restrictions? I can't install any benchmark related app from PlayStore, and even can't run browser benchmarks such as Octane, Peacekeeper, BrowserMark, etc.
The purpose of receiving these phones is for writing a review on a Serbian IT website that i work for, and the benchmarks are semi-important part of my review, and being unable to run them will kinda cripple the testing part for S6 Edge. The regular S6 works fine, those restrictions are not present. Any options/suggestions for S6 Edge? I was thinking of flashing a retail ROM, but that seems unlikely, since there are no stock roms online for S6 Edge yet, and flashing procedure is still unknown. The version of S6 Edge i have is SM-G925F, and the build number is LRX22G.G925FXXM1AOBI. I am open for any tips and advices. Thanks.
Maybe rooting the device might give full access so that you can move the wanted APKs to the /system folder?
Chainfire released it.

Will I be able to update this I9300 to >4.4?

I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.
