Of course, the simple solution is to remove the SIM and put it in a phone, but is there anywhere in the Nexus 7 3G settings which displays the phone number of the inserted SIM card?
I've had a look in Settings, under "Wireless and Networks", "Users" and "About tablet". I suppose, as it's not a phone, it was deemed unnecessary to display the SIMs number (or simply that nobody thought of adding that function to the 3G, but it would have been more convenient when topping up the card with credit.

Oops! Title went AWOL when I previewed the post - missed that!.
You should be able to find the number by going to Settings> About tablet> Status, then it's listed under MDN
On AT&T myself: Not showing in my settings...
Easiest way, if AT&T, is go back to www.att.com/buyasession (you went there when you set up your device), log back in and click on your device. Your "Subscriber Number" shows there.

Aha! It wasn't a very intuitive way to find it. Thank you!:good: I assume that it Mobile Device Number? (I've got Wikipedia to thank for that guess )

Hi,
My phone which was just sat by me doing nothing in particular (just a Facebook notification) and I see an icon I'd not seen before. I tapped on it and I am being prompted to accept a privacy policy for the "Samsung Denial Log Reporting Service"...
Err WTF is this and should I be accepting it. I'm particularly concerned as I'm on MH8 which I'm not keen on, FW status I got back to official, although of course the boot loader is still locked and gives the Knox warranty error messages if I try and downgrade.
Any ideas? A Google and forum search hasn't turned up anything which is odd, can't believe I'm the first to see this.
I'd also like to know the answer as it popped up on mine last week

Samsung Ireland, in their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SamsungIreland) has been asked about the "Samsung Denial Log Reporting Service" and them said "This is genuine. It's for Samsung Knox - a new security system we are releasing for S4 and future products. You can find out more here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox"
I still need to understand what it is.
I'm not sure if I want to accept or decline...

after more google search, I found a document
https://cdn.samsungknox.com/system/files/whitepaper/files/Samsung_KNOX_Glossary.pdf
and in this document, at page 7, there is written
Denial Log:
- Captures SE for Android denials in Enforcement mode on the device and uploads
them to a Samsung Server.
- These denial logs are stored on the device at:
/data/misc/audit/audit.log and audit.old).
Naturally I don't want my S4 to upload anything, anywhere.
Some news on this.
Hi.
I've just had the same message. What I found ...
Samsung Ireland Facebook : "Hi Alan, This is genuine. It's for Samsung Knox - a new security system we are releasing for S4 and future products. You can find out more here: (samsung's website) /global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox 12 September at 11:18

OK. So they are releasing an enterprise level security app. Fine with that. As I my phone isn't a company phone, but a personal one, what benefit will I gain? And, therefore, do I need to install it? If so why? From samsung's website (I can't post URLs yet, so add the domain dot com manually) /global/microsite/galaxys4/lifetask.html#page=knox ... "While S4 includes the features of Samsung KNOX, the solution is activated by the IT administrators of your company. Please also note the service availability may vary by the market your company operates."
So, for a personal user, this is a pointless app. It gets installed, but never activated as I'm not using a company phone.

I am pretty sure I am not able to root my At&t GN3 MJ5 because KNOX is force closing the app which Kingo uploads to root.
Whenever I try ot use Kingo, I cause the "prevention information" error which tells me "an app has been force closed due to an attempt at accessing system on your device".
I have done it so many times that now after a reboot, I see the "denial log" service asking for permission to upload the denial logs.
based on info in this thread, its clear that samsung wants to know what app it is force closing (what app is trying to get root access) so that they can design future security updates to prevent us from rooting.
Really ****ty if you ask me. DO NOT allow the denial logs! **** you samsung .. I thought you were a good company but now you are just making things difficult for us. You sold me a car with a hood welded shut. (Samsung chat admits there is no way to disable KNOX security on GN3).
I wont be a samsung customer for long..
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------
Update to my last post,
I spoke with Samsung again. This time I said I'm a dev and I understand root would void my warranty but I need to do it. First they tried to help me Force close the KNOX related apps, which I did (Klingo still didnt work and the same "prevention information" notice appears each time I try), then they gave me the number to KNOX so I can ask them.
I encourage everyone to call and voice your opinion that you don't like KNOX force closing apps that it deems are a security risk, without letting us disable that "Safety" feature. Its really not for safety after all, its to make modifying our own phones more difficult.

Hi,
I've been searching for a way on how to check if the unit has been serviced (refurbished)? Are there codes of some sort that we can use or a hidden menu that will show this information?

I believe you can download phone info by samsung then you can check there if your phone is original or refurbished

well ok, but what's wrong with downloading a few mb of apps? then delete it. atleast you can assure that your phone is not refurbish
roaring from the beast NOTE 4(N910C)
Dial ##786# or *#*#786#*#* go to view and scroll down if there is big Yes then your phone is refurbished if NO then your phone is not. Google it for better understanding.
I try both of this code and it's not working for me.

I think IMS stands for IP Multimedia Subsystem used in the delivery of VOLTE.

It's possible IMS Settings could have that purpose, I've seen mention of it in regard to some T-Mobile devices however IMSLogger+ has no known function whatsoever, it's simply an app called logger that has access to everything you do and everything your id does in relation to your device. As far as I can tell there is absolutely no cost in disabling this application so until someone can identify a function that requires this to be enabled, it's simply common sense to do so.
Further, and I have no idea if it's relevant or not, but even it's naming convention is different from the other associated applications:
com.sec.ims 1.0
IMS Service 1.0
IMS Settings 1.0
com.sec.imslogger 1.20150211_LDM
I understand I'm offering an incomplete picture here, but our corporate 'benefactors' have a long history of being as shady as they possibly can be until they are caught and then they just try something else... Our data is a commodity resource to these people so they'll do what they can to acquire it.
In the end it's a question of trust. I don't, so I uninstalled it, but I wanted to pass on the information should anyone else want to do the same.
Another NSA feature for the American fellows.
Besides imslogger+, I also have "silentlogging 1.01" in my Singapore device. Anyone knows what is "silentlogging" for?

Silentlogging 1.01
com.sec.modem.settings
Safe to disable
I've seen one post saying it's part of Kernal Management and a normal function of the phone however I've seen a hundred posts saying the package has been safely disabled or uninstalled without any discernible impact on device functionality. If anyone has an idea what this app does, I'd welcome any insight offered.
Edit: Maybe not a hundred, maybe closer to 10.

I have G9250 unlocked variant for Taiwan. The app is there.
I also noticed another found under 12py0ny0u.dev.6.66 does nothing as far as I can tell, but have access to pretty much everything.
Try to uninstall/disable if you see it.

If your country or carrier doesn't have VoLTE then you won't have it enabled on your phone, that's why you can't find it.
EDIT:
You can check here if your carrier has it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoLTE#Deployment
So far it's only launched in Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and USA. But even in those countries, only a few carriers have it.
Good old NSA must have had something worked out with Samsung. I bought mine in Hung Coc* as well and it too came with this IMSlogger as well that has and asks for every permission you never even thought about. No uninstall option either.
Every permission possible has been ticked by developer.

Silent Logging is not turned on by default that's why it's safe to disable.
From the looks of it, it logs diagnostic info from the cell modem. I think it's only ever used for diagnostic purposes though and is not ever turned on normally. You can enable in Service Mode or if you set system property dev.silentlog.on set to "on".
If you don't have any of the log files at:
Code:
/data/log/Slog_ril_xxxxx.log
/data/log/Slog_main_xxxxx.log (where xxxxx is the time the log got saved)
Or the config file at:
Code:
/data/slog/SilentLog
...then you don't have Silent Logging running.
As for IMSLogger, it doesn't look nefarious. It is for VoLTE though, so has anyone tried if VoLTE still work when you have IMSLogger disabled/deleted. Mind you, VoIP or Skype or any other IP/SIP over wifi or LTE is NOT VoLTE (VoLTE is specifically optimised for voice using IMS whereas none of the others are). So to test, make sure you are actually using VoLTE (and that you have it enabled in your carrier plan) and not some other VoIP solution.
It's LMS Logger
And it stands for LetMeSpy I found it on my phone as well
IMSLogger+ is used by Samsung engineers to get the processor logs and interfaces logs from the phone for debugging purposes. In Engineering firmwares it can export the IP traces in PCAP format and it has a nice interface to see all the VoLTE/SIP messages in real time. Basically it can log all the calls signalization, excluding the voice packets.
It's launched from the IMS Settings application that is used to customize VoLTE/VoWIFI/RCS parameters for each operator.
By default the IMSLogger+ doesn't log anything, Below you have a movie done from my rooted Samsung S6 Edge G925F that shows how to launch the application. I'm sure IMSLogger+ can be disabled without any impact to VoLTE. Maybe Samsung should have done it from the very beginning.

It appears there's no Samsung Find My Mobile settings on my S7 edge. There's no way to control/change Remote Controls, SIM Change Alert, and Reactivation Lock. I know there's alternatives out there but I actually like using this service.
On my S6 edge, they were under Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Find My Mobile.
Anybody find these settings?
Quick check of AT&T manual versus Verizon manual shows Verizon's manual makes no mention of the settings to enable this feature. AT&T'S manual does show the setting being present in the settings app security settings.
Samsung's "Find my mobile" web portal has a help feature describing how to tell if your device can be used with Find my mobile.
The Verizon variant truly does seem to lack support for it, since the options for enabling it are not found where Samsung's help feature says they will be on feature-capable devices.
You can go third party like Cerebrus or use Google's Android Device Manager to replicate some, but not all, of this feature's capabilities.
I'm sure no one will be surprised to learn that Verizon sells a premium version of their pre-installed basic VZ Protect feature that includes device location for a monthly fee.
I simply cannot believe the degree to which Samsung has agreed to cripple this flagship device's features to meet this carrier's demands. Were I the Samsung executive that handled these arrangements, I would have told Verizon they would receive no accommodations for device configuration that differed from any other American carrier and let them decide if they wanted to be the only major carrier unable to offer the device to their customers.

This is one thing I wish was on the phone - iPhones you cant reactivate without an iCloud password even if you wipe it. This needs to exist through Google or Samsung.

Once you set up your Google account you can't use the phone without the account info after wiping. Well unless you use one of the hacks, but they get squashed as Google releases new versions.
