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..
Hello, I've got my new Samsung gear S3 classic just from a couple of days... And I realize only today that the GPS without the phone is not working!!!!
All the times I turn it on in this days I didn't understand that it was connected to my phone GPS!!!!
I turn off the connection with phone and try to start the GPS... It doesn't work!!! He doesn't find me and I've got a message that tells me that maybe I'm in a close place... I'm outside!!!
I done a soft reset but nothing changed.
Need to send it already back?!?
So I JUST received a refurbished Samsung S2 Gear from amazon and went to work trying to learn all how to use it.
well i downloaded all the apps and things necessary, but now im stuck because m the samsung gear app tells me that the phone needs a software update. It downloads fine on my phone, and then gets stuck at 0% on the copying stage. I have both the phone and watch charging, and i havent put anything new on the phone. pretty much out of the box. After it tries for a bit, a popup says that its" failed to copy the software update to the gear. Try Later"
Ive restarted the watch.. unfortunately i can not restart my phone due to the outside buttons no longer working. But still seems unnecessary.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do at this point?
I just bought one, too. I also have the same phone. Update worked fine for me...
Hello, I just got my new samsung Dex, I plug it to the charge, mouse, keyboard and display but when I put the phone on, It doesn´t work, the phone start charging and a notification turns on saying that a new keyboard is plugged but no Image and no samsung dex pop up on the phone. I´ve tried multiples display and still no image! what can I do? thanks.
Sounds like a bad unit. What type of monitor are you using? Is it HDMI natively or are you using an adapter?
Tried multiple monitors
I tried in 4 different monitors, 3 native hdmi and 1 with an adapter. My phone just not recognize the dex.

Are you rooted, or using a custom ROM?
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
No, Stock firmware
Did you disabled any package?
I have the same problem. I've been having intermediate problems with my phone though with a lot of other things camera not working, notifications not working even though everything on the device is fine. My replacement will be here tomorrow. I'm hoping it is just the phone not both units that would be unlucky. I will update you once I get the new device.
Make sure power saving is of in order to start Dex
Constant restarting of DEX
Hi All,
So I went and got myself a Samsung Dex to go with my S8.
To begin with I put on a new Rom which was not de-bloated so it would work making sure all the samsung apps are installed.
Once I did this (time consuming restoring apps etc) plugged it into the DEX it comes up the lovely boot screen on the monitor then instantly states ''UiI Has Stopped'' then restarts to show the login screen.
But then keeps restarting showing the login screen over and over until you remove the S8 which then goes back to normal on the phone. I have force stopped Samsung Dex app cleared cache - nothing , cleared cache on sytem ui - nothing
Wiped Dalvik cache etc in TWRP - nothing
Can anyone help or have any suggestions?
I really do not want to do a wipe of all apps that has been restored and start again
please advise, thanks in advance

Do you attach original charger, that comes with phone? I have Type-C charger from Lumia 950XL, but it doesn't work with Samsung DEX - only original Samsung charger should be attached to DEX.
Dex questions
I have bought 2 dex from amazon uk they are £86 instead of £130 if purchased from samsung
But do not come with chargers or cables just the dex and a userguide
Problem is both of them dont work
I have tried using 2 adaptive fast charger from my s8 plus and colleagues s8 as the user guide say they work
Tried s8 plus device and s8 phones that belong to colleagues and both dexs do nothing no power no lights no beeps can they really both be faulty???
Tried pixel type c cable different plugs seems nothing works
They s8 doesnt even charges when connected
My device has no dex apps installed or in the settings no options for hdmi
Am i doing anything wrong??
Pls help
I have exactly the same problem, Dex station bought from Amazon and when I connect the phone nothing happens, it doesn't charge the phone and no messages on screen, also the TV doesn't recognize any HDMI source.

All you need is moving Knoxdesktoplauncher.apk to priv-app, confirmed solution.
Good luck.
Same problem here.

Same problem here. Using Note 8. Ordered dex earlier this week. Recieved today and can't get dex to come up. Zero power to dex. Tried several C chargers including the one that came with it. Tried various HDMI cables. Sending this one back to Amazon Monday and purchasing another one from Best Buy.
I thought my Dex was faulty. It would not work no matter what i did. I tried everything. I finally took off my ultra slim case for shots and giggles and it worked perfectly. My case is thin as hell But it still kept decks from working. If Dex is not working for you try stripping your phone down to when you 1st got it and try it
Well, the solution for me seems to be just using a different HDMI cable between my monitor and DeX Station.
That is, because my problem seemed to be that I had to hold it in my hand in order to get it to connect. When I did, putting it down on the floor (because I'm running a temporary setup due to some home renovations) would cause DeX to close and drop me back into Nova Launcher on the internal display.
In fact, I am typing this post within the Samsung web browser in DeX. Pale Moon wouldn't run at all within it, and Firefox Focus would only run in what I call "phone mode" (fixed window size, but with options to switch between portrait and landscape orientations), those are without "DeX Labs" enabled. Argh, I wish Samsung allowed the "blue light filter" to be used within DeX instead of only on the internal display
Oh, and I'm actually using a Note8, but found this thread in a web search while troubleshooting my problem earlier on
i have done something similar, bought a new Samsung monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse from PCWorld, upgraded to S8 then bought a DEX for around £50 from Ebay, Samsung have said it has a genuine serial number but so could another million of them. But it works as it should for a period of time then monitor goes blank. Its charging, the fan works, it works on phone when i remove HDMI but I'm not convinced its genuine Samsung?????

I did the same as I got a message from the Ebay seller with that as a suggestion and as you say thought there is no way thats gonna make a difference, but unlike you I was right it did bugger all and it still does not work right.
Gutted it did not work
next option coming up???
Same thing to me, works for a few seconds and the screen goes black
That's pretty much the same with me. It's as if the phone has no Dex drivers or the Dex app itself. The one thing that does work from the dex station is the plugged in mouse. The cursor appears on my s8 screen. But no Dex desktop springs up whatsoever.
I've got Gear VR ..and my S8 booted into everything Samsung (& oculus) VR automatically without any fault. Just doesn't to the same for Dex!
you need to use original charger and CABLE! I tried all cable and charger all not working, then I use both ori charger and cable and it work like a charm!
Hi
Recenty i dropped my Galaxy S6 SM-G9208 and now display is black. Other functions seems to be working.
I had find my phone enabled so i removed phone lock from there. i also tried installing sidesync from playstore but there is no way i can open the app so it will connect to my laptop.
is there anyway i can get remote display work on this phone? i don't have useful data on it so flashing, changing firmware is not a problem.
Regards
