My G2's touchscreen doesn't respond anymore (plus the speaker recently crapped out on me RIP) which gave me a perfect reason to buy a new phone. I ended up ordering the GSM Galaxy Nexus since I'm not eligible for an upgrade for another 3 1/2 months, can't afford to pay $600+ for a new phone, I can't go that long without a functioning screen or speaker, and on top of that I've already had my eye on the GNex for a while.
Since my screen doesn't work, is there a way to run my phone's version of Android on my PC? I want to backup my apps so I can transfer them to my GNex tomorrow. I was using the trackpad to navigate Titanium Backup and got all the way to the "backup apps + data" option, but when I press it there is no function. MyBackupRoot doesn't even recognize the trackpad. I managed to get my call logs and sms backed up, and my contacts are synced with Google.
I think this is your best option , Good Luck!!

Hello!
A few days ago my phone got wet.
After that I can no longer use the touchscreen. Everything else works fine, including unlocking it using facial recognition.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S Plus (i9001), with a replaced screen (Crushed it 6 months ago..).
The phone has been dropped many times, but it always worked fine afterwards.
I've already decided i'm buying a new phone, but I still want to try to recover all my data on the phone (messages and appdata is important to me).
So my question is: Is there some way I can access my files? The wifi is off, and so is 3G. usb is set to mass storage mode, so I can't use kies.
Maybe I can upgrade the rom with something that automatically activates some form of filesharing?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Also: Do you think there is still hope to get the screen working? When It is unlocked I see that one of my apps is "selected" so it would seem the touchscreen is frozen - not necessarily defective.
I've read that a factory reset can help with this kind of trouble, but I don't want to do that before I have my files..
I have a Gear 2, everytime i connect bluetooth with another device, it has to reset, but i don't like that. So now, how can i connect Gear 2 with another device without reset...
Root for example ?
im trying to find out this myslef
So far at least, it is not possible.
It's looking like there's no way but I'm going to keep searching.

The question if one day I'll replace my Phone to new one (also Samsung), how can I connect to new Phone without lose Gear information ?
Alternative question how to move Gear information from old Phone to new Phone?
Can GALAXY Apps ( "Purchased") copy also Gear 2 information ?
I saw an answer here, not sure if won't ask Gear reset:

Phone with new ROM (after full wipe) is kinda like new phone..
So if it won't ask Gear Reset, it can be an answer " How to connect Gear 2 with another device without reset".
I mean , if another device with same gmail/samsung account, user can load on another device "Purchased"
apps and no Gear Reset ?
Alternative way:
I have updated my S4 ROM (rooted) few times with Full Wipe.
I used Titanium backup and restored just download apps and also all gear apps.
I got many gear errors, so I re installed "Gear Manager", but somehow data kept and it didn't ask
for Gear Reset.
So maybe solution for "How to connect Gear 2 with another device without reset" is to copy Titanium
Backup (just Gear stuff) to other device and restore , just make sure gmail/samsung account are same..

To answer this question for you, if you are using the same account as the account you used to purchase the app with, it should be available to download on your other your other Samsung devices you may be using. So long as you login to the Galaxy App store using the same account as you did to purchase it.

Some ideas:

That assignment is left uncommented in the bt-service the gear2 ships with.
EDIT: But we can patch it out!
This is the original bt-service file in my NE5 firmware:
22151f97a2b2fcd8459f0f195aae90ae /usr/bin/bt-service
Now get a hexeditor and patch 16-bit instruction at 0x20364 with a NOP, aka 0xBF00.
That is, change byte 0x20364 with a 00, and byte 0x20365 with a BF.
Using cmp to check the changes:
Code:
$ cmp -l bt-service.orig bt-service.new
131941 161 0
131942 321 277
Note that if you replace the file you will need to ensure the right permissions and Smack labels are set correctly. I.e.
Code:
chsmack -e bt-service -a bt-service /usr/bin/bt-service
With this, I can pair as many devices I want with the Gear. Note I do not use Gear Manager, maybe it gets crazy about this.
I've been trying to replace many of the com.samsung.* stuff with the Tizen 2.3 org.tizen.* stuff but it quickly becomes a mess. That patch is much cleaner...

I have no clue what you meant a I've with all that and how but I need to know, does that mean you found a way to pair the watch and not lose the faces?
Backup
Q: How do I back up data stored on Gear Fit2 Pro?
A: Back up your Gear’s data on your connected mobile device.
1. On your mobile device, open the Apps screen and tap Samsung Gear.
2. Tap SETTINGS and select About Gear.
3. Tap Back up and restore.
4. Tap Back up data. The data will be saved in Samsung Cloud.
If you previously backed up your Gear data, you can restore it to your Gear now.
This may take some time depending on the size of the files.
· Music saved on the Gear will not be backed up.
· Health management apps data will be automatically saved on the connected mobile device’s
Samsung Health app.

Any idea?

Is there anyway to completely back up the Gear S2 Bluetooth only version?
I started out with this watch using a Note5 phone. Since I've owned this watch, I've had to switch phones 5 different times between the Note5, Note7 and S7 Edge. Each time I switched phones, in order to pair the watch to the phone, I had to do a light reset, which takes off all apps and watch faces. I'm able to re-download and install all the apps and faces, but it's a major PITA. Especially because I have 20 custom watch faces that I've designed, which means I need to go into the Gear watch designer program on my computer, set my watch to debug mode, connect it to WiFi, then load all 20 of my own faces 1 by 1.
This whole process takes a good hour or so, and drains the battery fast.
Any way I can do a complete backup and restore (quickly) so that all of my watch faces and such will reappear?
I was also in the situation as you mentioned and was jumping from phone to phone for couple of weeks and here is what I noticed.
1) If I set up my watch with my Note 5, the gear manager app does backup my settings and such. Then If I do light reset and connected to exactly the same phone, then upon connect it will restore my settings back onto the watch.
2) If I do light reset and try to pair my watch with another Android phone, then it doesn't restore anything and I am forced to customize the settings again and set everything up.
I am thinking that the backup/restore file is left on the phone itself somewhere in the folder. I didn't look for it, but it would be beneficial to get that file and the copy it over to another phone - if my theory is correct.
Anyone got an answer to this ? Trying to save 40+ Custom watchfaces from Galaxy Watch 3 ...
I recently received a Samsung Galaxy S7 after my brother passed away and left it to me. The PIN is unknown, and Android Device Manager was not set up on the phone. I can only make the phone ring using the Manager, but nothing else. Is there any procedure that can unlock this phone and preserve the contents, since there may be photos and videos on there that I want to keep. There is no SD card. Thank you for any help, it would mean do much to my family.
