How to convert Samsung live demo unit into a normal phone?

A Samsung live demo unit phone is a device that is used to showcase the features and capabilities of a particular phone model in retail stores. These units are typically set up to demonstrate various aspects of the phone's performance, such as its camera, display, and software features. They are also used to train sales associates on how to demonstrate and explain the phone's capabilities to customers.

Samsung live demo units are typically pre-configured with custom firmware that is designed to highlight certain features of the phone, and may not have all of the same functionality as a normal consumer-purchased device. They are also often locked so that customers can not make changes to the settings or use the phone as their own device.

They are not meant to be sold to customers, and usually have a different firmware, or software compared to a device sold to customers. Some live demo units may have limitations, like not being able to access certain apps or functionalities, making phone calls or sending text messages.

To convert a Samsung live demo unit into a fully functional phone, you can try the following steps:

  1. Download and install Samsung Smart Switch on your computer.
  2. Contact Samsung customer support and ask for the firmware for your specific Galaxy model and carrier.
  3. Use Smart Switch to flash the firmware to the demo unit. Make sure to use the correct firmware for your specific model and carrier, as using the wrong firmware can cause damage to your phone.
  4. Perform a factory reset on the phone after the firmware update is complete. This can be done by going to Settings > General Management > Reset > Factory data reset.

A Samsung live demo unit phone may or may not have a working IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. An IMEI number is a unique 15-digit code that is used to identify a mobile device, and is typically used for tracking and identifying stolen or lost devices.

Some live demo units may have a working IMEI number, while others may not. This can depend on how the live demo unit has been set up and configured, as well as the specific model and firmware version of the phone.

A live demo unit phone with a working IMEI number will be able to connect to a mobile network and make phone calls and send text messages, while a live demo unit phone without a working IMEI will not be able to do so.

It's worth noting that if a live demo unit phone does not have a working IMEI, it may be possible to make it fully functional as a phone by adding a new IMEI to the device and making it capable of connecting to mobile networks.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
