[Q] Remote Access to Android without USB Debugging? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. I recently dropped it, and the internal touch-screen is broken. I can tell that the phone is working fine. However, the screen will not work. I'd like to find a way to remotely access my phone, since I can't access the screen. However, any and all methods I can find require at least a USB connection, and enabling USB Debugging. I can't enable USB Debugging, because I can't access my phone through the screen. Chicken before the egg. Is there any way to remotely access my phone, either through USB or wireless, without enabling USB debugging?

[Q] Always connect in USB mass storage mode instead of Kies?

Since i have Litening 1.0 and Kies doesnt work with it, i was wondering if there is any way to make the default action when i plug in the USB to go to USB mass storage mode or at least ask what to do like I9000 instead of automatically going straight to Kies connection mode, so i dont have to remember every time to go into settings, connectivity, usb and click 2 times there...
Activate usb debugging in settings> applications> development.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Thanks, i completely forgot about debugging mode ... Now if there was just a way to make it display the connection dialogue without having to pull down the notification bar that would completely satisfy my laziness .
Just to be sure, using USB debugging mode doesnt pose any additional risk right? I know i needed it to root my old I9000 but never used it besides that...
No, debugging can be left enabled without any issues. Occasionally root apps require it to be enabled. I only turn mine off to connect to kies and then I reenable it after.
kies dont seem to work for me so this is the only and best way to connect via usb! Always used this method with my nokia n900
Anyway, a select list when connecting something via USB would be nice, similar to HTC...
If you plug something into the USB-port, it asks what to do:
- Mass storage
- Sync (Kies)
- Tethering
- USB host mode
- ...
Anyone knows how to probably achieve this?
Would also be wonderfull something like a widget...
+1 for widget
+10 for list
My phone is always on DeBugging Mode. The only exemption is if I want to connect to KIES then I deselect the Debugging Mode and plug in the USB cable.
I have never found a problem with any program running when it was in Debugging Mode.
Tasker?
I have multiple profiles for when it's plugged in (either day or night or at work). I'm not sure if you can differentiate between AC charge and USB charge though.
I DO know that you can make your own Task in Tasker that acts as a widget to do most of the things mentioned here...
edit. there _is_ a Context item that allows a task to be set based on whether the power connection is recognized as a 'USB Power'...

[Q] Simulating USB over Wifi or ADB over Wifi (unrooted)

Hello there,
I am trying to root an HTC Desire HD but the common problem of the USB not working kicked in. I figured as you can run Wifi / 3G connections via USB, why not the other way round? Is there any possibility to do this? Just to make sure nobody misses that point: No root requiring apps! Or ADB over Wifi without requiring root would work too but for what I know that's impossible.
Thanks,
Cyrus
It's no longer impossible!
As of about Android 11 and up, adb works over wi-fi (without USB) on non-rooted Android phones via Developer options Wireless debugging switches.

[Q] How do I disable USB accessory and connect as media/camera instead?

I recently toyed around with USB Mobile Monitor without much luck on Windows 10 Technical Preview. I expected the USB setting to be defaulted back to either media or camera, but it's here to stay as accessory USB connection even after an uninstall. There doesn't seem to be an option for this in the dev options. How do I solve this? When connected as USB, both media/camera options are grayed out.

[Urgent] How to retrieve data from a broken screen phone? (Nexus 5)

I just broke my Nexus 5's screen. It is not responding but the other functions of the phone work. The display is 80% broken (a bit of the right-hand side is intact).
I tried to get back my data via USB cable, but since my screen doesn't work, I cannot change the USB options. It only allows me to charge.
So what can I do with this? I tried the USB mouse method but it only allows me to unlock the phone, but not change the USB option coz I cannot connect my USB mouse while I connect my phone to the computer via USB cable.
Thanks so much!

Question How to access data with broken screen

Hello, I've dropped my phone and the screen isn't working, it's black and afaik touch doesn't work either. I have debugging turned on, but my PC is "unauthorized", I don't have an unlocked bootloader. After searching around the web I think my only option now is to get a usb-c dongle with at least usb-c and usb-a so I can connect both my mouse and my PC and hope to all gods that I manage to click the "allow" button on the debugging pop-up. Does anyone know of a simpler way to access my files?
P.S. If you don't know of a simpler way would you please provide a screenshot of Nord 2 with the "allow debug" pop-up so I know where to aim for? Thank you
