To my view i guess there is no way right now to bypass it in our device since that is the main reason CWM won't boot due to this messy feature bootloader is locked...

SM-G7109 bought in China without Google Services
Hi. I'm new here.
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7109 in China (China Telecom).
To my surprise, it doesn't have any Google services pre-installed
I went to the shop and the staff somehow installed Gmail on it. So I have all the contacts now
The staff also installed Play Store but it doesn't work. It doesn't crash but it responses as if there's no connection
I also noticed that Calendar won't sync no matter how many times I try to sync manually.
It gives an error message, "unfortunately calendar has stopped".
Gmail seems to be syncing somehow but not so often...
If possible, I want all the Google services work normally.
I searched on the internet but can't find a good solution.
Will the method using the files like "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk" work for my device?
If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it.

Network Disconnecting Problem
Hi
I brought a Grand 2 last month in the showroom I did not check it with two sims I had put only one sim. Now when I am putting in the second sim the and chose the network mode to WCDMA & GSM auto connect or WCDMA then the internet as well as the network keeps on disconnecting off and on. But in the GSM mode every thing works fine. I went to the service center twice but it did not help. I changed the sim cards as well as the sim slots but nothing worked. Can any one please help me out? I will be very grateful and thankful for it. This has upset me a lot. Once again thanks in advance.

I tried "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk" but it didn't work, either.
I also noticed Google Map also doesn't work.

Thank you for your reply. But I think my phone(SM-G7109) can not be rooted yet. Besides, I already have Gmail the shop staff installed for me.
Is there any way Google Store, Google Map, Google Calendar to work normally without root? Thank you.

Your device is supported for Google Play see here https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131?hl=en
Just search in Google for Google Play apk file and download it and install it... Once google play starts to work everything will start to work..

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I know it should be supported, but since it's sold in China (China Telecom Model), No Google service is pre-installed. And I did try installing Google Play apk file but it didn't work, just as I mentioned before, it continues to show "retry" button as if there's no internet connection.

Hello Bro...
That's Samsung Problem They put so much bloatwares due to which performance will be effected...Clean the RAM and Background application before you start the game...that might solve to certain extant... Sometimes even updates can cause issues with Games Compatibility... See weather internal memory is Low?? if it is then it might cause problems these are some tips.. Most issue can be solved by Rooting since we can remove bloatwares...
I Hope this Helps Bro....
Good Luck....

Help please

I have an Xperia X10 that I rooted as soon as the root was available and it worked great unfortunately I had an app that was causing me some issues and I thought id factory reset the phone.
The only apps I have are now:
Phone book
Browser
Dialler
Alarm clock
Calc
Calendar
Camera
email
Gmail
Google talk
Maps
Market
Messaging
Settings
SIM tools
Youtube
This would not be a major problem but I also dont have the Keyboard app so im unable to enter any settings make any changes etc.
Please help, ive pretty much bricked the damn thing
Does anyone have any ideas or somewhere I can download the original FW I can flash from the Micro SD card?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thread moved in XPERIA X10 General.
btw, the best way to solve your problem is to take a simply reset, this will solve all your trouble.

Apparently mods are not the only ones who don't read posts around here.
To the OP, try using the flashtool to throw another firmware onto the phone, since a reset didn't work?
Or just install a keyboard through adb...
Just use the usb cable to transfer a keyboard app across and then a file manager to instal it.. happen to me once.. ul b fine ;-)
btw I see u mentioned no timescape.. when u go into phonebook can ya view contacts or do you get an error?!
Ps - just my tip.. upto you if you wana try it.. but seen as I use chompsms, dolphin browser, and kaloer clock.. I got rid of the alarm clock, browser and messaging!! lol got rid of email cause don't use it really, left gmail though cause there always seems to be something linked with google stuff and messes up when ya get rid of it
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Thanks for the responses guys, I have a keyboard app on the SD card but I dont have a useable file browser to get to the installer, im installing Android Debug Bridge but may need some pointers on the commands to use to install.
Thanks

CoPilot favourites not saving

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine
Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread
I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

need help with some minar issues...

hi
well, first of all, i bought Backstab game, which asked me to download
about 666 mb of game files, whenever it reaches 30% it stops , i got and error
and as me to start all over again, and when i do , the same thing happen?
2nd, why there is no video call in the dialer?
is there any way to add this feature
last help i need, how to stop the vibration when i click
on a number in the dialer, i searched everywhere but could not find
anything to stop, how to do it??
well, i asked alot
thanx in advance
1. Can you tell us what the error was? The rough context of it.
2. Nope it's not exactly like iOS. Unless someone makes a custom dialer. In the end what is the use there is no infrastructure to support it yet anyway. You could use Google talk or skype or anything similar though
3. I can't help you on this right know because I don't have a play with me but when I get it I will look into it. Did try looking through all the settings?
1-" A problem occurred and the download could not be completed successfully, do you want to restart the download? "
I've downloaded Asphalt 6 with no problems, and I've sent gameloft 3 times about this problem, and for some reason they still did not respond.
2- this is ugly, i used to use this feature a lot , i hope SE , or google add it soon.
3- yes i did , looked everywhere, nothing about it, i had X10 mini, and this option was available, can't find it here.

is it possible u are downloading to the play v your sd card. 666*.3=~200. could be the case that u are running out of space. seems like after installing a few apps/games that you'd have 200 meg left which is where u are hitting the error.
@persain
i had the same idea, but how to solve this??
i think it should go directly to SD card
cuz i downloaded Asphalt 6 , and had no problem
??
wooow
the support of gameloft is really bad
they told me sorry we cant help you
and refunded me
@ysfm
Not sure how to fix it unless u see a "Save to" option when u go to download the game. (dont have a play yet, its in the mail so i cant test)
but at least u got your money back, would suck to not be able to install and be out the $$.

[GUIDE] Dual Whatsapp for Dual Sim Note 5

Hey guys,
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means taking credit for this, I am just sharing what I found because I know how hard the information can be to find on the internet. As you should already know, you are always responsible for you own device
So we have dual sim phones? That means 2 phone numbers right? So why not 2 Whatsapp at the same time as well?
Well the idea hit me today that I needed another Whatsapp for my second number, so I went searching again for this information and just like searching for root for my N9208 dual sim, the information was all over the place with different ways of accomplishing it. Most of the result indicated that I needed root which I was ok with because I had root, but I thought about my fellow note 5 pees who didn't have root and I found one that was so easy and didn't need root.
1. You are going to download the original Whatsapp from the play store if you don't already have it, set it up with any of the number in your dual sim and make sure its working.
Note: Skip step one (1) if you already have the original Whatsapp setup
2. Next you are going to download Whatsmapp from here or the original site here.
3. Install the Whatsmapp apk as you would any other apk.
4. Setup the Whatsmapp with your second number in your dual sim
5. Profit
This information was accumulated by searching the web. My thanks goes out to all developers who help me to arrive this solution. If you, a developer come here and see a violation that I overlooked please inbox me and I will rectify it right away Thanks again
The better way is to install My Knox and just have two official WhatsApp apps running one in knox and one regular
Whatsmapp is a pita to keep updated
Thanks for sharing I am also using whatsmapp for less than a week so far so good. Let's keep this thread active.

Thank you thank you for the Knox idea.
I was trying to search for another Viber app so i could have both my viber accounts on the same phone since im on a dual sim phone
Now because of the Knox idea im able to have both my personal and business accounts for whatsapp and viber active at the same time.
Ill have to use my fingerprint to access the other account but thats a small price to pay.
Thank you very much again. This made my day

The easiest way if you are using a Note 5, and any Knox equipped Samsung phone, is to just use MyKnox. This gives you the option to not just run two separate WhatsApps (and original apps) but other apps as well (Telegram, Skype, etc..) seamlessly, and in a secure container (with quick access because you can use your fingerprint to auth between them). It's really quick, nice and easy.
Secondly, you do not necessarily have to have a Dual SIM. All you need at the time of setting those up is to insert the SIM you need to use, set up the app, then remove it. Of course this will work until you reset, or you could back up and restore using samsung cloud after reset. The other option is to use telephone call auth, since both whatsapp, telegram etc all can call the number to send you the auth PIN/code. So that number can technically be in a different phone than the one you are setting up.
This is the one REALLY lovely and cool feature that myknox has, and a real edge samsung has over the bunch (unfortunately not many users know this).

Hi there!! Strange behavior in my Note 3 SM-9005 with Havoc-OS 3.7 using voice match

First, I asked this question in the Havoc download forum and seems to be in this one so here I go again, I´m from Spain and my english is quite short so please be gentle if I do something wrong, there´s nothing that I could teach or contribute, only my experience like a noob user.
I´m a normal user and it´s quite amazing for me that I did what Havoc-OS intructions said for installation and run at the first time, so good for you that made that a guy like me did not brick my Note 3 :angel:
I´ll try to explain what I did since my phone has Havoc 3.7 last weekend :
My note 3 is running, all the things that I use to work with is running fine, I checked almost everything and from wifi, phone calls, sms in and out, gps, google maps, music, mp3 (I play guitar and sometimes I use the phone to practice), I also changed the ring tone with one created by myself (and ACDC cover...), like I said almost everything is running like new, what it´s bothering me and I try to fix (because I´m stubborn) is the google assistant, it has happened to you that only a tiny thing is not running and even you don´t need it you have the need to how to fix it? That´s what is happening to me.
I can use the google assistant and the kindly girl answer me what I ask when I play the button but it´s impossible to me to get voice match configuration to use Ok Google, and I received near 60 messages each day with error trying to connect.
I try everything (in Havoc forum a kindly member advise me to clear data and cache) and did not fix it, I uninstalled google and google assistant and installed again and always when I try to go to Ok google/voice configuration my phone try to connecto to internet and shows "Connection problem, check your connection and try again"
This is not a big problem for me because I´ve been 4 days using my phone with all the features that I need but this small problem has got a personal matter between my phone and me...and being serious, whith all the forum pages that I read in english my head is nearly to explode.
Thank you if you read this stupid story and thanks in advance if you could lead me to the solution because I feel that my phone is laughing at me!!
First fo all I want to say thanks to the member Atrankas to give me some advices to fix my problem, seems to be that there´s no people with this issue.
To update the information if it could be useful, I followed Atrankas advice and I made a clean installation but this time I use the pico Gapps, for some reason the nano Gapps gave problems to me with Google play and google asisstant and the microphone did not work properly.
Now I can use the assistant but I cannot get the voice configuration, the button appears in grey and when I try to make the Voice match the system shows me a screen configuration looking for wifi and shows an error.
Maybe is my phone problem or rather my problem because I don´t know how to do it...but I´ll try to find a solution, if I find something interesting I´ll come here to give information.

Thank you very much, now I know is not a Rom problem (cannot find users with the same problem that fixed it), I like a lot this rom and runs like a charm, the configurations options are endless and now I have my old note 3 like new for my needs
I took the opportunity flashing a few differents roms, some of them with android 9.x and the problem remains so I´ll check what you told me and see what happens, but I don´t want to flashing more roms because I´m not experience enough and don´t want to brick my note 3...again!!
Cannot find a solution

To update my research and if it´s usefull, I tryed everything I read online, in this forum (if there´s a solution I could not find it or not runs in my phone) and outside...in google assistant forum thread there´s a lot of people with the same problem so I quit searching
I tryed so many things and flashed so many different roms that finally I bricked my note 3 trying to find a solution installing whatever I found when I had everything running and configured perfectly...
So I did a clean install from android 5.0 and I flashed the Havoc-OS 3.7 rom again, maybe a next google assistant update fix the issue.
Now I need a couple of beers...if someone find the solution, please join me!! :highfive:
Well...continuing with my lonely conversation, I don´t know why but I just tried to start Ok Google and surprisingly my Note 3 took me to voice recognition and now is running!! Why? How? don´t have an explanation, I have the updates disconnected and I only installed Microsoft teams app lately for my job purposes this morning and maybe I´m haunted by ghosts because I did nothing, only check the google assistant sometimes to check the Voice match...
Only with Wifi cannot use Ok google because send me to wifi error because cannot get ssid but that´s fine, I love Havoc Os and finally it´s running.
But in my job I use to say, I never trust anything that fix by it self...so We will see

Hey @Bacilus dantracis . After researching the log provide by the google app I actually found the problem. I guess with Android 10 google limit the user app to access the privacy data, so even Google Assistant made by them it cant access the the trained voice data which is used to trigger the app.
In our case, Google app is installed via play store(not included in nano/pico gapps) so it is recognized as user app instead of as system app like the in the stock factory OS.
The solution is very simple. Just make the Google app as system app. It must be in /system/priv-app/ folder. I tried to move it to /system/app but it is still not working, after more investigation I realized that the apps on priv-app have more permission access. After I move the app "Ok Google" command work flawlessly( On Wifi, I didn't put simcard on my note3)
You can move it manually or use Apps Systemizer module on magisk to do that. Hope it'll for you too

This is one of the things that I´d like to understand, I´m totally noob but I like to know the "why" of things, with my limits
I´ve been looking into my phone settings some things but consciously I did not change anything without testing and then going back to avoid screw something because I use a lot my phone in my job (and now It´s amazing how it works!), so thinking about it, could be that I changed anything that made the assistant works...this use to happen touching things without knowledge...some times fix it, sometimes don´t (and brick is one of the things I´m scared!)
Now it´s time to bed for me my friend, but tomorrow I´ll check word by word your post to try to learn more about this issue and understand what has happened, not because I need this feature (only when driving is more useful to me), just to learn how this works. (and for fun!!)
Thanks for your support, now I know that what is not in this forum is not outside.
cheers!!
P.S.remember I´m from Spain and my english is a little bit slippery!!
