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.
It's so frustrating not to have Google services on an Android phone...
Anyone can help me out?

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....

[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.

It's always good to have options. Thanks for pointing this out just in case others wanted to try this method
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

happy you were about to test and confirm that this method works, now just for others to understand, if you should root your phone you will not have the Knox anymore. If someone know how to have both Knox and root at the same time please share

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).

Update Magazine Unlock Pictures on P9 Lite

Hi guys, i searched the internet for hours but couldn't even find people with the same issue, or very rarely at least with no solution given.
I bought my p9 lite a few weeks ago and so far everything is basically on stock except for the nova launcher.
But still since i bought the phone i only had 15 Images in the magazine unlock folder and have never gotten any update whatsoever on them, although in the magazine unlock settings i subscribed to all of the available topics and enabled automatic updates. When i click on update covers manually it tells me there are no picture or text updates available.
What is going on here? This can't be it now, can it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
#Edit: Sorry, just realised this kind of questions isn't being answered here. Seems like i can't delete this thread so i'll leave it to the admins...

Kujo
can you point me to this thread?

[HELP] S7 Screenshot Problem (Prevented by security policy)

Hey everyone. I am having a issue with my phone when trying to take a screenshot. It will not allow me to take a screenshot, saying "Prevented by security policy." I discovered this when trying to take a screencap inside the Playstation app, but the Playstation Store part of it. As I understand it, this is a restriction by the individual app. How can I bypass this? I already tried some overlay apps like "Touchshot," which the result is either when I open the PS Store, it force quits Touchshot, or it will take a picture but everything is black.
I am not rooted, and would hope to find a solution without rooting. I also saw solutions that involve hooking up the phone to a PC, which I also would like to try to avoid as well. Is this restriction exclusive to the S7/Samsung phones, or it this a universal Android problem? If not, which phones do not have this problem?
If I have to root the phone to do it, is there currently an S7 Edge root that does not trip Knox? Anything else I should know?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Well there is a way to do it if you are rooted. But since I am not, I was trying to deal with it that way...
Is there even a root for the S7 without tripping Knox yet? If there was, I might root it.
Anyway, thanks for the reply!

Recording phone calls

I am tired of trying out hundreds of apps to find a way that lets me record phone calls with both participants being audible. I know there are some Android systemic restrictions, but since I live in a country where call recordings are legal, I'd really like to have that opportunity.
Can someone tell me:
What are the restrictions on Android, specifically up to date OxygenOS
On a rooted phone, are there other avenues to explore?
What is your experience?
Are there apps that let you record such calls with a headset?
Thanks.
