Hi all,
Sorry if this is not the right forum, please correct me.
I'm the developer of 3G Watchdog, a popular data monitoring application. For some reason on Galaxy S5 LTE-A phones (SM-G906S, SM-G901F, and possibly others) with Lollipop, 3G Watchdog is unable to count data usage via the usual system traffic statistics files (typically /sys/class/net/interface/statistics/rx_bytes and tx_bytes), or even determine the correct mobile interface name (e.g. rmnet0). AFAIK it does not seem to happen on other variants of S5, so I guess Samsung has done something unusual on these phones.
I can think of a number of possible causes, but I don't have a Galaxy S5 LTE-A at my disposal to test with and find out what's going on exactly, so I do need the help of someone with (preferably) a rooted Galaxy S5 LTE-A, and a file manager (or any way to explore the file sytem, like adb) who would be willing to experiment with me so I can fix this issue.
Thank you very much in advance for any help. In addition to this thread you can contact me directly at [email protected].
Best

Hello. I apologize for posting what must be a very common question, but as someone who has no experience with rooting phones, I'm uncertain about the answers.
I bought a Hong Kong Galaxy S4. Models from this country usually have Japanese language support avaliable however this model (the Octa Core variant) doesn't. This creates problems for me as I live in Japan and thus need the various settings to sync up, everything from some websites to the Yen symbol not appearing on the second layer of SwiftKey.
As the S4 has 4.2 with its more advanced security, it is impossible to use a third party region changing application without superuser privileges.
Does anyone know how I might go about doing this in the simplest of ways possible? Morelocale2 makes reference to PM access/the ADB shell which as I understand it, requires the Android SDK. In the event that I could use this method, would I still need to root the phone?
If anyone could help I would be greatly appreciative. It's more than a little bit frustrating to find that the $950 spent on this phone was not at all what I wanted...
Looking for a list of stock apps, services, etc. That come pre-installed in samsung galaxy S 4 devices... WITH A DESCRIPTION of what each item does, in order to debloat (by freezing or uninstalling).
Or where I could find such a list. Myself and many others would greatly appreciate any help or info!
Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537 - at&t
You and your friends could search this...att stock apps and it comes up with multiple posts with exactly that info. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to this forum, I've been following some discussions and threads for about 3 to 4 weeks now, I wrote a mail to members privately, and this is now my first forum posting, opening a thread.
My mobile phone is of course a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos aka GT-S6102, which I have had for about three and a half years now and I'm pretty satisfied with the phone I must say.
I am not really a programmer (oh well, I played around with Pascal a few decades ago!), neither am I a developer – and I admire all the more the work done by some of you here –, and I been using Linux for over 10 years now and I know my ways around this operating system.
So when I got my first smartphone I quickly realised that there had to be a way for me to free my phone.
And with the beginning of the new year, I began to take action! Inspired by all extremely useful information I read on this site, I was able to
- root my phone,
- work with CWM (temporary version ), among other things make a nandroid backup,
- install a new kernel (iDuos),
- free space on the internal storage on my phone (thanks to Link2SD), etc...
And much of the software, the methods, the information, came from the pages of this site – so thanks again to all of the contributors!
But the reason that makes me post this message today is the frustration that I have, due to the fact that I was absolutely unable to install an application that I was very eager to test and use : Signal private messenger.
No matter what I tried, the app (3.9 and now 3.10) would not get installed on my phone!
I tried with Wi-Fi, with the data service of my phone service carrier, I tried with a second cellphone which is just the same as mine, I tried using Hideman VPN service, I even tried a version of Signal that did not come from the play store (of course I did not forget to tick "allow third-party applications") – all with no success!
I even got in touch with Open Whisper System (the only thing I haven't done so far is get in touch with Google) and exchanged several mails with Masha (well, perhaps my ability to communicate is not the best), but I did not get any answer to my last question – which is the reason why I am asking the same question to the readers of this thread (and users of Samsung Galaxy Y Duos aka GT-S6102) :
do you know if Open Whisper System's Signal Private Messenger is supposed to work with our cellular telephone?
Do you have it on your phones? Did you have trouble installing it?
Anyway thanks a lot for your answers! And if there is anything else you need to know about the configuration of my phone, please let me know.

Hi guys,
Although I usually switch to a more vanilla experience on my devices, I'm testing a Galaxy Tab A for a work project I'm putting together. It's a clinical study and investigators will use tablets for data entry, so I need to make the tablet fool-proof and prevent most users from installing anything, browsing etc to preserve battery.
In Settings > Users, clicking "add user" only proposes to add a normal user, and not a restricted one. Did Samsung really ditch the "restricted profiles" from their rom ??? I hope it's just me and I'm missing an obvious place to look at. The tablet is running 6.0.1 MMB29K build.
Thanks !
edit: I just ran on this topic: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/47Qffy996As that states that Restricted Profiles are only available for "tablets". Since there's a 4G port on my tablet, is that it ?? That's just plain stupid ??
I have a couple tablets that were setup as Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) for commercial truck drivers. Booting the tablets will only present a data entry screen. and trying to access anything else on the tablet gives the message "Screen is pinned. Unpinning isn't allowed by your organization". I'd like to reset the tablet to be a normal tablet. Does anyone have any info on how to do this?
Tablet model: SM-T377P (with sim for Sprint)
From the recovery screen it appears to be Android 6.0.1
I haven't tried anything at this point as I didn't want to make it any harder to reset the tablet. I don't even know if reversing this setting is possible? The only info I've been able to find was related to creating Android single purpose devices, Kiosk mode with Samsung Knox.
Thanks for any help.
Maybe it's easier to receive an answer in the Samsung Galaxy Tab E Forum?

That would make more sense, thanks, much appreciated.
