I'm trying to turn on USB debugging on a phone that is not activated. So I can't get to the main home screen to get to the settings. Is there a command I can use to turn it on? The phone is not in service.
I have tried going to "adb devices" in command prompt but there is no phone listed.
Make sure the adb device drivers are installed correctly on your pc...

In some ROM's once you get to the Android screen (the first screen of the setup process), you can hit all four corners of the screen one at a time and it will allow you to by-pass the activation screens and let you get to the main screen of the phone. From there you can do anything you want. Try that.
you can try making the activation call and then ending it 3 times and see if that will let you bypass the activation screen.
or put the phone in airplane mode by holding the power button while in the call and then rebooting.
Some roms let you bypass by long pressing or pressing the home button three times.

Well, I found a pretty simple fix. Remove the sim card and boot up ! Then you can skip through all that stuff and get to the home screen. Then turn on usb debugging.

I have looked, but since I'm not even 100-percent that "lock screen" is the thing I'm talking about, I wasn't surprised not to find the answer I am looking for.
I've updated my Streak on ATT to 2.2

Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-perf

I miss the old lock screen (if that is indeed what it is called). I like having the network info, battery charge state, and other info right in front of me when I press the power button to turn the screen back on. Also, I don't really like the swipe to unlock "feature" of the 2.2. Is there any way to revert to the 1.6-style lock screen. Oh, and if it isn't called a lock screen, what is it?
Thanks
Do you use this with an exchange server that requires a password to unlock? If not, then Widget Locker is what you want (I think). It is a paid app ($2?) that lets you completely customize the lock screen with any information you want on it.
I didn't keep my 1.6 long and I don't remember what that lock screen had on it, but I think widget locker is the app for you.
I do use it with an Exchange server that requires a password.
I mainly miss the battery percentage when I press the power button. I don't want to go through all the hoops to see how much battery I've got left... that's my biggest gripe. Sure I can see it when I'm charging, but I want to see it anytime I press the power button and end up on the lock screen.
I would love to get the old lockscreen back, too! Isn´t it somewhere hidden within the Options like the old WLAN & Network settings windows is?
Is this of any help?
Thanks! But sadly it isn´t! This was how the Lockscreen looked like, it has shown some infos about provider, calender, battery etc.:

I was a little concerned this might happen and it has been lately. Happened twice today.
I keep my phone in my front pants pocket (usually jeans, well always jeans) and I loath using a case.
Anyway if I sit or bend too long it holds the power button in long enough to shutdown.
If I later sit or bend it hits the power button and boots back up !! How nice.
I usually notice it when it boots because it vibrates on boot.
I love the size and I actually like the buttons.
I'm gonna try putting a stripe of e-grip on either side of the power button to see if I can solve it that way.
This might be the reason for some folks "reboots".
EDIT: My current solution:

A custom ROM or MOD could simply add a menu to the shutdown button. IE: Reboot, Reboot Recovery, Shut Down, etc.

That Hold the Power Button in for 10 seconds to shutdown is a Low Level feature in place of removing the battery.
You never want to defeat that even if you could.

it should have been hold power + volume down or something. That is a bit of a shame
or something like those tiny holes where you insert a paper clip like some devices.
I think this might just work
I love knock on, and it works great for me. But some people apparently have a problem with the phone turning on in their pocket. The Sprint ZV6 update supposedly has some changes included to address this problem, but how effective it will be is anyone's guess. I was recently involved in a discussion elsewhere as to whether it would be possible to use Tasker to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket, but I don't think it is.
I did discover another approach, though, that will work. Verified on the LS990 with BarRin v2, but it should work on any rooted G3 with a stock-based kernel. ( IF you have an AT&T or T-Mobile version, you can probably find this setting in HiddenMenu without using the Shortcut Master app, by entering the dialer codes as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365)
Note that this will turn off both knock on and knock OFF. If you still want to use knock off, you'll need to use one of the many screen off apps in the play store, in combination with an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex.
1. Download and install Shortcut Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. Open the app and select Search from the menu. Enter hiddenmenu in the search field, and press search.

3. Scroll down and find the row for com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.LgSrvKnockonSetting
4. Tap that row, and then tap on "Launch"
5. Change the toggle from On to Off, then back out of Shortcut Master.
You can repeat the steps to turn it back on.
Been using this since day one. Worse idea I've ever heard of, having this enabled. I'm sure other will appreciate this too.
Thanks.
also for verizon,search knock and you should find it for verizon users
Same, I disabled this right away back in Sept using the exact method posted. But awesome tutorial, pics and all. Good work!
Does it save for battery if i turn this feature off?

Marginally, yes but barely noticeable. Unless it was constantly going off in your pocket, thats a big battery waster, lol.
Hello XDA!
today the screen on my Galaxy S9+ G965F/DS suddenly stopped working. I can hear sounds while it turns on and while its on if i tap on something, LED is sometimes blinking blue while on, red while charging and green if charged. But the screen stays black no matter what i do.
Tried: Soft reset, with USB connected and not connected. Booting into recovery and odin-mod.
Connected to PC i see s9+ in explorer, while in odin-mod i see the device showing in that mod too.
Unrooted and untoched firmware.
Before I send this device to repair, or try to repair it by myself i would like to hear some suggestions what else i could try before opening dat device.
Cheers and thanks to everyone in advance! :fingers-crossed:
If the screen isn't working in download-mode, there is nothing you can do. Of course, you can open the phone and try to fix the problem, but then you will lose your warranty. The best would be, if you bring it to your operator, or the shop, where you buyed it. The repair should also be free, because you havn't root your phone.
Try to backup your data over the PC. You can also try to start the device, plug it into the charger, and leave it for at least 24 hours. Then it should backup your data to the Samsung cloud.
restarted in recovery and connected phone to pc and found it on adb

@profi_fahrer not afraid to loose warranty since its samsung and yeah everything that i need is already backed up.
potentially clear back incoming
update: another thing i noticed is that haptic feedback/response is like lagging and coming a bit later then it normaly would
Update:
Got myself an USB type c to HDMI adapter to check if gpu-unit is working... and it is.
So atm I am thinking about opening the device and looking into the problem.
As far as I understand this, failure could be in the display flex cable. Or the display itself. But since its an AMOLED and Pixels are drawn separately from each other..
Checked all sensors, touch, fingerprint reader, all 3 cameras.. Everything is working as should. So weird anyway.

I just switched from Mi Max3 to black shark 3 pro.
For Mi Max 3, when I got notification while the screen was turned off. I got the information of that notification right away as in the picture. It's very convenient. Just glance at the screen and get information.
But for BS 3pro, when I got notification while the screen was turned off. It just make a sound and show only the black screen with fingerprint icon as I called "first lock screen".
I have to press power button or unlock it first to see information which is not convenient at all when compare to Mi Max3.
Is there any way to remove first lock screen? Please help.
And you can turn on raise to wake.

Thank you. But I still have to raise the phone. Is there any way to just "glance" at the information. 555
Already got used to the lazy way with mi max3.
how about always on screen. you can set it to recognise your face with face unlock and show your notifications or bring you straight to the home screen.
