hi, i have read there are a few units that seem to have gyroscope issues, tomorrow il be in Hong Kong to test out/buy a note and i was wondering how to go about verifiying that there are no issues with it.
is there an app, or a setting of some sort to check how it works?
thanks.
Dial *#0*# then select "Sensor" and you'll see the gyro tests and graph.

Thanks for the information RashaMatt. It worked fine on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as well. The gyro test at first showed "FAIL" in red color when I ran the test several times, however, the readings and the graph showed that it is detecting the X, Y and Z values and as expected too, meaning that it showed Z value to be 90 when I held the phone upright and variably changed to 0 when I held it horizontal. I think may be it was because I was holding the phone in my hand which did not allow calibration. Then I placed the Samsung Galaxy Note II on a table and ran the test several times and it showed "PASS" in blue color.
I ran all the tests and was impressed. I did not know about this until I read it here. It even worked on Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 windows mobile 6.1 phone too. Just that it does not have as many sensors as a Galaxy Note 2. Thanks again
I'm planning to buy a used S4 through a local website that offers a space for people to display ads for their phones (something like Swappa), but the problem is that :
- I have seen many fake products which looked exactly the same and even have TouchWiz on JB. What's more confusing is that most of these products have a printed valid IMEI number.
- used phones might have hidden problems with their sensors, or hardware in general even if they are genuine.
Questions:
01- I though I might compare the valid printed IMEI with the one I get when dialing *#06#, but I'm not sure if that number can be faked as well, can it?
02- Is there a systemic way of checking the sensors, cam, microphone, wifi etc by an app or something similar?
03- I think a benchmark tool like Antutu's can help to see the exact specs and compare them to the original ones. Can some of you take a screenshot of the exact specs as they appear in Antutut Benchmark or Android System Info.
04- How to know if a genuine S4 has been flashed before if it has an unrooted stock rom at the moment of checking?
05- Any advice on what to look for when examining a used S4?
PS: I will have physical access to the phone before buying.
Im not sure about the answer to these questions
but I can help with this

The Device Info tab of the same Antutu results you sent. It's on the top right; just click and send a screen.
And the same goes with Android System Info; install the app and send me a screen of the System tab. It's the second tab from the left.
have fun
Here are some codes that access various functions of the phone.
Most useful:
*#0*# - this will give you access to a test mode, where you can try various functions (cameras, speaker, display, sensors)
*#06# - to compare the IMEI displayed by the software with the one on the phone

well,you can check if your phone is genuine or not simply by using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
if your phone is fake samsung it won't detect at all
second use this app to detect your hardware info and sensor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo
i always have this 2 apk stored in my sdcard so i can install and check the phone if i'm buying 2nd hand phone
P.S:i've been using these method since i've been scammed once for buying fake samsung galaxy s4 because it has fake antutu app
Conclusion
I searched a lot and here's a systematic test.
*#06# (dial it on the phone itself)
to get the IMEI number and compare it to the one printed on the package and the warranty certificate if any is present.
Droid Hardware Info and Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (apps from Google Play)
use these two apps to check the hardware specs (like processor, number of cores, GPU, ram, etc)
Diagnostic Menu *#0*# (again dial the number on the phone itself)
and test all the items
Connect to a laptop to check if it's read properly.
Use a Micro SD to check if it's read properly and try to copy a couple of small files to it.
volume down – power – and home to get to download mode it should say
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
if Custom appears somewhere in current binary or system status, the phone has been flashed before.
Check the battery look and weight and connect charger and see percentage/min.
NOTE: There's a faulty battery batch whose serial starts with BD1 you can find more info in this thread
Check the hand and headset buttons and their buttons. And rotate the 3.5 mm jack while playing some music to see if there's a problem with its socket appearing as distortion in sound.

Hi,
I've got a Samsung N910 - no suffix, just N910 as shown under the battery. It has 2 SIM slots, the USB connector is at the top, it has no hard (clickable) Home button, just a soft button as part of the screen. I can't find it in any lists of the variants of the Samsung N910*. I need to replace the USB socket because it won't charge but I have no idea which part to buy. Can anyone help me to identify this phone / tablet. I've included some photos.
Thanks.

N910 is galaxy note 4 and that my friend is definitely not a note 4. It looks like it could be a note 4 battery but not the phone. If it's a Samsung just boot do download mode. Hold volume down and power and home. It will show you the model there
That's not a Note 4 bro
This chinese phone..so u have to open your phone in order too see cable connecter u have
