Antutu Officer: Phone Authenticity Verifier ​
Today started off as a pretty exciting day. I received a package from UPS that I have been anticipating for a week now. I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and it finally arrived. As I opened the package with my trusty sword, I instantly noticed something was wrong. It was packaged in a box that did not resemble something created by Samsung. I examined the phone and a few things did seem right. The pullout antenna was a little flimsy and there was I slide out keyboard that seemed out of place. I began to question if this was a really Galaxy phone or not so I looked up methods of verifying if a phone is legit. That's when I found Antutu Officeron the Play store.
I installed the app on my phone and followed the instructions. It was very easy to use and only took seconds for it to tell me that my phone was not legit. This destroyed me. I spent all of my savings on this and could no longer afford to pay rent. Because of this my girlfriend left my for a Swedish man named Vincent.
Check this app out if you're ever unsure about the authenticity of an Android device.

Nice Story xD

Sorry, but I don't trust this app after it "politely" asked to me to update itself by downloading and installing through a third party apk. Avoid at all costs, rather test the individual components with reliable and verified legit apps like CPUID, etc.
I do get the sarcasm though in OP's post since the "Antutu Officer" is really an anomaly at this point for me as well.

anyone know for sure , i just want to make sure before i purchase
My experience
I cracked my screen at work. I sent it to the manufacturer in the US in Houston. The customer service was very civil, but I had to light a small fire fire under their butts to get them moving on my phone. When it was all said and done, they sent me a brand new phone and it cost me like 160USD. /shrug, hope this helps!
@tnel20
Check out this ebay listing...supposedly there are two types of LCDs for the 8525, the LCD model number is on the back so you can make sure you get the right one:

tnel20
You could ask the ebay seller just to be sure...my guess is that it would be the Toppoly LCD. Hopefully, you'll get a quick response if you ask.

Another thread about cases

I really need a case that is at least somewhat shock absorbant and a bit moisture resistant since I got a severly grabby fingered 11 month year old son that likes to pull on (sync) cables, drop everything gadgety and generally drool och cellphones in particular.
http://www.gadgetino.com/product.php?productid=17649
This one looked like it could be of interrest, but I sure would like to hear from you others if there is some warnings or things to worry about a) the company b) the product
Thanks in advance!
Seriously, not a single one of you on this forum has bought something from gadgetinto? Or are you just unwilling to share the experience due to post traumatic stress because of a horrible shopping disaster? Will I be forced to boldly shop where no hermes owner has shoped before?
would appear so
i like the crystal cases or the alu ones the silicone are annoying
Mike...LOL
Here's the original hermes case thread for some info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273546

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hahahahaha... whut?
Yeah that was a big barrel-o-chuckles.
@galaxys: If you read my first post again, you may magically realize that I wasn't asking about cases, but in fact about vendor gadgetino.
ooops...OK
your title thru me a curve while I was laughing at mike's pic. Maybe U should magically change the title to "vendor gadgetino"

Help from UK users

Trying to install beebplyer but can't find it on the market, previously installed & uninstalled it, so not sure why I can't find it anymore. Can anyone please check if it's just me or whether it's now off the market? Thanks.
I read somewhere that its been pulled for the time being.
Something about a 'proper' version coming out soon.
You best bet would be to try to find the APK from somewhere else online...
damn, was looking forward to having it for the world cup.
why would they pull it before a proper one is here? just sounds like aunt beeb wasn't best pleased with it

You can still download it using the barcode scanner. I just installed it, and the quality from the video is quite poor.
I'm not surprised it got discontinued. Worth using as a last RESORT
thanks, installing now! it is a last resort...
not sure if this is any good mate as I aint tried it yet:
http://www.skynetsoftware.com/myPlayer/index.aspx?platform=Android
PS - England are currently sucking bigtime in teh world cup
thanks, hopefully I'll still need it after the group stage!
try yamgo.mobi, its way more reliable than apps.
Yes beebplayer has been pulled from the market, although there is another app called myplayer, as zoomee has already stated.
That said, I don't think those apps are as good as just going to m.tvcatchup.com
You can watch a lot of freeview channels. It requires registration, but that's free, and just a 1 time thing. Try that out.

A public congratulation to myself: S6 bought yesterday; screen shattered today

I guess what I'm trying to say to myself is, "Way to fcuking go, dude! You saw right through history and knew that this little S6 honey was gonna get the shock treatment sooner or later, so why wait, right?"
And bonus points to me for having managed to do so in a year-end review winning style, no doubt in the ever popular, "Whaaa? Is that dude fcuking retarded?" category. Pros: duuuuude, you instantly made retarded look like "advanced clever."
Cons: you did so in a comically regressive mannner. While collecting local geo-data and sensing near-surface disturbances just below your public viewing area, you somehow were able to determine, unlike anyone post=hoc could, that ejecting the shiny new Samsung S6 past the mat and onto the nearby cement floor would be best for it, especially if done so screen down, as though continuing to rest upon your lap during a period of increased disturbances would be a big mistake though it had done so until then quite comfortably, much like a convenience store burrito an hour earlier was a big mistake that had rested in place quite comfortably until then.
Or as I believe I heard you prase yourself in a summary of events just after The Great Ejection, "Whaaa? Dude! Arrrrrrghhhhh! Are you fcuking retarded???"

Did you purchase with a credit card offering extended or no-fault warranty? If so, you might be in luck.
Can you retroactively purchase a service plan, and then make a claim say a week from now? If so, then you should be in good shape.
You have options -- investigate. I've availed myself of both these examples in the past.

How has my phone become compromised by non-oem Galaxy Store.

So.. What happened was..
I've debloated my G892AUCU5CTA2 (S8 active) via adb Bridge and as it was a stringent debloating list it uninstalled most of the Samsung bloat. This is usually fine, right?
The issue occurred after I realized through my tinkering w/ Synergy, that for proper application I would need to reinstall Galaxy Store and Themes. So.. Mistakenly I downloaded the Galaxy Store from a non-official source mainly based on laziness and stupidity. This is the Galaxy Store i downloaded.. https://galaxy-apps.en.uptodown.com/android The first thing that obvi wasnt right and still persists even after I uninstalled that version and reinstalled official Galaxy Store is this

Very quickly after installing, this fugazi store tried to immediately download what'sapp, scary, and vigilantly, I stopped that download as well as a bunch of others that were all Chinese or Indian. I disabled data and uninstalled the package and every other other package too! So upon reinstalling like I mentioned up above from Samsungs website, I still have this login in Chinese..
What to do?
If you couldnt tell by my bootloader/build that my phone isn't rootable, I debloated via adb.. I'm very new to the phone world and would love and appreciate very much some help and tips/info as I'm going to start a bachelor in computer science this winter and don't know really kno anything in comparison to the vastness in ya'lls ability and knowledge. So any required reading on top of help with the fix would be very lovely. Maybe a mentor? So.. Maybe dm me if you wouldn't mind developing a friendship w/ the loyalest of well meaning ineffectual. Thanks guys
