Control my phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear XDA,
I hope I placed this in the right section. I broke my note 2 a day ago and still have some valuable information on it.
Is there any way to get control of my phone through my computer?
Greetings,
Daniel

Does your device boots up ???

Yeah it does. I can even hear the messages arrive. Though I can't see anything of course.

It seems that your device screen is broken try to connect your device to pc and see whether your pc detects the device ???

The phone is still being recognized. The problem is, there is data on there which I can't get to through MTP. There are no drives when I click on the phone itself.

Well, there's several apps out there that let you control the device from a pc, problem is that you'll need to get these apps installed and setup for use, I'd imagine it'd be kinda hard for a device with no screen functionality.

Portable hot spot disabling its self

Hi guys,
I've been tethering my phone to a windows laptop via usb for about a month now with no problems. However, because of the lack of support for usb tethering on the mac, I'm forced to use wifi tethering with my mac.
The issue is that wifi tethering keeps disabling its self every so often (maybe 20 mins)
I have the international s3 with the latest available ota update.
Any suggestions?

I've noticed similar behavior myself. Seems to turn itself off when nothing is connected on mine. Haven't used it enough to know the details of the behaviour though.
Mind you I'm using a firmware from six weeks ago, so a lot could have been fixed in the builds/updates since. I figure it has been fixed because I've not seen any other reports of the bug.

Go to portable hotspot settings, hit the menu button then timeout settings, hit never timeout (or a time)

Brilliant. I hoped it might be something like that. Let's hope that solves it, thanks!

LOL. I never though of a menu there too. I feel pretty ashamed of myself right now. But, I was spot on on the timeout though
Thanks!

Yup, this was indeed the issue. Timeout removed and I managed to successfully sit there browsing for a few hours last night.

[Q] KIES over USB

Has anyone figured out how to get KIES to wrok over USB? KIES does not recognize my device. I have tried intalling the drivers, changing cables, and changing ports. I noticed in device manager my phone is there but under other devices I get "Contracted SmartCard" with a question mark. I am using VISTA on PC, ROM is Beans Town V6. Any Help will be appreciated!!!
Yeah metoo. I try to connect my hone to kies as well it doesnt work. Ive heard its specifically verizon note 2s. other variants do work. i would love to know a way to connect if there is
Connected Now BUT
I am able to connect to KIES by USB now but it tells me that my device is not supported which desn't make sense since the Note 2 is a pretty new device..... Does anyone have a solution to force it to work or am I at the mercy of Samsung to support the device?????
The latest thing I have read says us model note 2s are not supported. Can anyone confirm?

I was able to get it to work through the usb cable, but not over wifi. With wifi, I keep getting the sim card error.

Thats weird. I cannot get it to recognize my device over usb but have it working over air.

I have contacted samsung, verizon actually blocked it so you are forced to use the backup assistant instead
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
That should have just been an automatic assumption at this point. Ridiculous.

I wonder why they would block it? Bastards!!!

BT Openzone

I'm with Vodafone UK and disabled every option I can find to so my phone auto connecting to BT openzone, yet if I have my wifi enabled when out and about it keeps connecting to it.
I wouldn't mind but can't get it to actually work, so would rather it not connect at all.
This isn't the same as connecting to open networks as it doesn't do that automatically it only connects to BT openzone and networks I have set it to remember.
Anyone any ideas what else I can set to stop this?

Can't access files via computer.

Alright, so everything was fine yesterday. Dragged and dropped some videos to my Nexus 7(2013) and my DNA. However, today, ai plugged in my DNA and Nexus.....strange enough, it charges my device but it doesn't mount for me to access my files.

When I plug my phone in, no options pop up in my status bar to change any input settings.
I tried all my ports, restarted my computer, and it still doesn't work.
I believe something may be wrong with my DNA.
That, and I think a recent update I received for Windows 8 may be to blame. Because I also plugged in my Nexus 7(2013) and that, unlike my DNA, shows up as a device, but it's as an unknown device. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but that didn't work.
But still, at least it shows up unlike my DNA, my DNA just charges but isn't recognized by my laptop at all.

Does the DNA show in device manager? Any yellow exclamation points? You may have to reload the drivers manually.

The DNA doesn't show up under device manager. Only the Nexus 7(2013) does. I tried reloading the drivers manually for that, but it continues to show the yellow exclamation.

Yeah it does actually, that randomly started happening as well!
Mine was doing that because of a problem with the USB in phone. Had to get a replacement. The input was bent, so it wouldn't connect properly.

Dna not recognized by pc

Hey guys I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I've searched all over the Web and haven't been able to find a solution. My problem is that my wireless charging doesn't work on my phone on any rom I've tried, so I need to ruu back to stock to see of it works on there and if not get a warranty replacement. The problem I'm having us that my parents will not recognize my phone at all. It will charge when I plug it in to the pic but that is it. It doesn't even show up in Windows Explorer at all. I've tried re-installing drivers HTC sync and multiple other things. Tried my friends computer too and nothing shows up either. Is it possible that my usb port on the phone is screwed? If anyone has any ideas or help I would greatly appreciate it.

What operating system are u using? windows 8 and 8.1 are having problems with adb and fastboot
I'm using Windows 8. I've been using that for a while though with no problems. I hadn't plugged my phone in to my pc for a few months until the other day. My friends of is Windows 7 and it's the same thing. The weirdest thing is Windows doesn't even have the message pop up saying that removable media is connected or whatever. It is literally invisible to all computers.
