[Q] to disable spen detection - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
STock 4.1.2
Rooted.
Verizon version.
This particular device recognizes when you pull the SPen from the device.
I purchased and additional SPen with eraser to carry in my pocket.
Problem is, as long as the original SPen is in the device, I can't use the extra.
Is there some way to disable the recognition so that the device will recognize and use either SPen regardless of rather the original is still in it's slot?

answered my question
OK, looking thru post after post for info on a case and how to get the most out of my tablet, I discovered the answer to my question.
For anyone else, you have to disable the spen battery save feature in order to leave the original pen in the device and use the extra.

[Q] Android Device to Device Unified SMS Messaging Control

Let me cut to the chase:
I am looking for an app which enables me to read and send sms messages of an android device from another android device via bluetooth or what ever wireless connection there is.
for example:
I have 2 android devices: device A and device B. suppose, device B is located somewhere near me but i cant get a hold of it. then device B receives an sms message. i want to be notified of the receipt on device A and read the message. I also want to be able to send messages using device A. that can also be the case the other way around: send and read messages on device A using device B.
i tried searching google for that but it seems like im using the wrong keyword for that, and google isnt smart enough to look for something that almost fits my description.
if anyone knows any app that could perform this, please tell me.
if it does not exist yet, maybe this is a good idea for an app.
I have a tablet and a phone. i cant easily access my tablet to read messages while on the road since it is inside my backpack, and my phone is just inside my pocket. and since my phone number and my tablet number is for private and business purposes, respectively. I dont want to get a dual-sim, or multiple-sim devices for that matter, as there is no available galaxy note that sports that feature.
if you know something about this, please tell me.
thank you very much!

Broken Screen Samsung S6 - Access files

My personal S6 Samsung broke the screen, that is, all black I can not do anything!
And you need a password to unlock.
What I wanted was to have some way for me to unlock it, I've tried with Smart Switch and Kies, and in them I can not put the password on the PC to unlock the phone, and my USB is not in debugging.
And now guys? already researched in all over the place and found the solution.
The goal is to access the files on it, I do not care about the device.
Hugs and please help me.:crying:
*Sorry my english
Method 1: Recover the files with your Samsung account
This Method will work Only if you used to have Samsung account on your smartphone, you can check if your Samsung account is registered or not here.
1. Go onto the Samsung website.
2. Click the Find my phone button.
3. Login Using your Samsung Account you used to have on your smartphone.
4. All the Options regarding using your smartphone remotely will be available on the screen.
5. There will be an option on the left hand side of the screen to unlock your screen remotely.
6. Connect with your USB Cable and KIES will allow you access to your files.
Method 2: Recover Data with the mother board on your phone
This Method is a bit Technical but it works 100% guaranteed, For this Method you need to have another Smartphone like yours but with working screen(e.g If you own S6, You Need to Borrow A friend’s S6)
Your data is saved on the motherboard, so you can just put it in another phone and back up from there.
Here are detailed steps:
All you need to do is to be careful while following the steps mentioned below as to not damage the working device!
1) Take out the tiny screws from the back of phones (~10 in each).
2) Remove the plastic cover that is shielding the motherboard.
3) Unclip the display cable from both phones.
If the two methods above isn't piratical for you I suggest you to replace the screen. Either have some one repair or you can repair it yourself. For Samsung s6 screen replacement you can check out www.hcqs.com.cn. For repair instructions you can search on YouTube.

I have another solution that I used to unlock my phone to recover the pictures in my Galaxy S6.
For this method you will have to have following things
OTG Cable
USB Keyboard or Mouse.
Connect mouse to your phone using OTG cable. Now there will be a pointer on screen of your broken S6.
Next step is to enter the password without having any visual aid.
There are number of ways from which you can do that. But it is hard task and you will need alot of practice.
I used the method in which you have to draw pattern on a paper while moving mouse on working phone.
Update: See full instructions in this guide: https://itechify.com/2015/05/24/how-to-recover-data-from-galaxy-s6-broken-screen/
After you have practiced using mouse without any visual aid. Next thing is to unlock your phone by entering passcode.
Once you have entered the password. Remove OTG and replace it with USB data transfer cable.
And then transfer your data.
Best of luck.

Can usb debugging be enabled via adb/fastboot?

A friend has a stock S7 with a broken screen and USB debugging disabled.
I have read posts here about this situation and it looks like the prognosis is bleak, but it has been more than a year since the last one I found, and things do change with time as more is learned, especially on popular phones like the Galaxy line, so it seemed like a good idea to ask again. His wife has baby pictures on it that are worth a good bit to them. Why they weren't backed up to the cloud is anyone's guess - I get that some folks dislike sharing private lives with Google, but there are plenty of Boxcryptor type apps one can use - but the point is moot. They have their privacy and no baby pictures. It is what it is.
A quick Google search finds lots of proprietary software that claims that it doesn't need USB debugging to be enabled or that it can enable it, but the sparse details provided about this superhuman ability makes this seem unlikely.
Someone mentioned a way to sideload a custom kernel in order to somehow enable USB debugging via ADB. Is this possible? Can USB debugging be enabled from stock recovery on the S7, or any other route?
There are all sorts of Octopus / Miracle Box type gadgets and software packages that claim to make various phones dance and sing, but I can't find one that will recover files from the S7. It might be worth buying such a package, if it existed.
Some posts, articles and videos suggest using an OTG to connect a mouse or keyboard and navigate the broken screen, either from memory or by taking screenshots and retrieving them from phone storage. We have not tried this yet, and any tips specific to the S7 would be really appreciated.
Someone posted an application here, that is apparently intended to help with this situation, but mirroring a phone screen requires USB debugging to be enabled.

Thanks to anyone who might be able to help, and I apologize for adding a redundant question. I am just hoping that there is something new in the Galaxy world that might have made this situation salvageable.

Try the solution in the link you've posted, i'm sure you no longer need debugging enabled.
Also the real issue is you need to unlock the phone, so if the screen is just black?? You can usualy guess where the patterns or numbers appear etc, easy if you have another s7 next to it.
Also other options here

Thank you! This is very helpful.
I think debugging must be enabled for that solution, but I hadn't read far enough or close enough to find Msmtx's solution for enabling it from ADB.

My blind spot now rectified, I am going to give this a try. I know nothing about stock recoveries - is the one in the S7 going to allow me to do this, or will I have to install or boot TWRP or Safestrap?
Thanks again mate, it will be great to get those pics back. I just hope they have learned from this the great value of backups...

Hi @SmilingPerson - Did you get this resolved? I'm facing the same issues, and on top of all the OTG ideas, the phone I need to access has a swipe lock, so I'm pretty sure connecting a mouse without seeing anything is useless. Would appreciate any tips.
I wish I could tell you something, but nothing worked, sadly, and I used the old phone for parts.
Good luck though, hope you fare better than I.

Looking for help with Factory Reset Protection (or USB debugging)

Background: my wife arrived home yesterday with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016 model (SM-P585) that had been written off by her company due to lockscreen protection being enabled and no one knowing who the last person was that it was issued to.
I kid you not.
Anyhow, one quick Odin flash later and it's booting up happily. However, FRP was enabled and now requires sign-in from the last person to have signed in on it, which is unknown. So I find myself one last step away from an awesome - and surprisingly well looked after - tablet but with no idea of what to do about FRP.
I've done a fair amount of reading and, outside of all those sites that seem to be run by the same Asian gent who is adamant I can only do it with his absolutely-not-suspicious-at-all application, understand that I can either flash 1) a combination file or 2) an old firmware in which the old workarounds are still effective, both of which will allow me to bypass it, but neither of which will work without USB debugging enabled and that can only be done via the developer options. And obviously I can't get to that.
If anyone has any advice on how I can make this work in my favour without having to get rid of it, I would sincerely appreciate it.
Alternatively, if this is the wrong place to post this question, a quick point and a kick in the ass in the right direction.
[Quick edit] I have no issues with rooting if that's what's required. Again, requires developer tools so...
Hint: Add " SM-P585 " to front of this thread's titel thus mainly people who owns such device get addressed, too.
I thought of that, but I don't believe this is an issue limited to my specific device model. I think it could apply to most, if not all, Android devices at some point.

Samsung Broken Screen Unlock

My phone has a broken screen (and probably a broken touch sensor) and I need to unlock it (pattern lock) to get the data off of it. It is a Galaxy A70 running Android 11 and the latest OneUI. Both the Samsung Find my Mobile web app and the Android/Google Find my Device site aren't able to see that it is connected to the internet. My Google WiFi router clearly shows it being connected however. Although sometimes the Samsung Find my Mobile site sometimes reads "online", it fails to unlock/back up the device. I have tried connected with ADB to unlock the device, no luck. The Kies and Smart Switch utility are no help either. I am also unable to use Window's Phone Companion app to display the screen or view any data whatsoever.
I have thought about using a keyboard/mouse to unlock it but without screen output I have no chance. I have looked into replacing the screen, which I am fully capable of, but I don't want to spend 60+ dollars on a new panel just to get the data if I can find another way. I don't even plan on using the device after I repair it, I have another one on the way. I couldn't even find a well rated listing for one on the web anyways.
To make matters worse, none of my data was set to back up to the cloud, although I was pretty sure I had set it to. When I go to view my cloud gallery on Samsung's website, it insists that I allow the action from my unusable phone. Or I delete the phone from my account to access it. I can't do either from my position.
I would really like an out of the box solution. I have thought about using a mouse to input the pattern lock by practicing on another A70 available to me and repeating the action the the broken device. I will take any measures possible to avoid an unnecessary cost.
I really appreciate any help whatsoever! Thanks!
