S-Pen not connecting - Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer

My S-Pen won't connect.
I place it on the back with the tip up and it doesn't connect. Nothing changes on the screen. Tried reset of the S-Pen in the app several times.
Anyone knows of a solution to this?
The pen works to use normal but says disconnected so can't use any special features.

Try to Enable SPen with the icon in the Status drop bar or in setting, advance settings, SPen.

Beam file from XDA to XDA

Can somebody tell me how to beam a Word file from one XDA to another XDA? I have set all settings on both device correctly. However, nothing happens. The sender just shows a screen were it says that I have to align ports, which I do ofcourse. Please help
Goto Start, File Explorer, open My Documents and tap&hold on the file you
want to beam and select Beam File.
If the receiving party has "Receive all incoming beams" turned off under Start, Settings, Connections, they'll have to use the "Receive an infrared beam" under "Programs".
HTH
Thanks, but your suggested procedure I have already tried. I have tried all possible possible combinations. Nothing works. Also when I activate "Receive an infrared beam" the receiving XDA doesn't give any reply. It is almost if a XDA can't send to another XDA; if the IR doesn't work at all. I still hope somebody explain the trick to me. It is important for me to know how it works.
does the infrared works with other devices like a laptop or a pc with a usb->infrared ?
somebody said at once point that hvaing stuff connected like a keyboard would disable infrared support
That's right. The Keyboard driver seems to disable the IR port. Uninstall the driver and it should work.
I haven't installed a keyboard. So there is nothing to uninstall. Or do you refer to the preinstalled standard keyboards? They are in ROM so I can't unistall them. Is there another trick?
Thanks
If you installed the folding keyboard driver from the kitchen rom, it will initialise every boot and grab the com 1 port, I know because I couldnt get my gps working even with the beams setting turned off, however you can disable the driver, bearing in mind it will initialise again after a reset. I cant remember where to do this as I got rid 2003 and the problem was when I had it installed, I am pretty sure the option is there somewhere to disable it.

GPS hardware port resetting to (none)?

Hey Guys,
as the thread title says, every time i try and assign a com port to the GPS, that setting gets erased and reset to (none).. any ideas?
Update: I tried going back to the stock bell rom, and it allows me to assign a hardware port and save it. Switched back to the DCD, and even PPC one (after re-upgrading radio/bootloader) and still not working... additionally i also noticed that the ##778# program is not working either .
Any ideas again?
Is it poosible you have a task amanager running that closes programs when you click in the top right? It may be closing the settings box instead of saving it with the ok button. I've seen others with a similar issue. Try using the hard "ok" button on the phone instead of tapping ok in the top right to see if it saves.

From what I understand, the "Hardware" port is only needed if you have an external GPS connected to the phone. Being that you have no other GPS connected, it's automatically setting itself back to none. These settings are not necessary when using the internal GPS. The port located in the Programs tab is what's critical for "Programs" to use.
Mine does the same thing, but of course I don't use my external gps because I JUST got my internal working!!!
thanks for the insight guys.
Anyone have any idea as to why the ##778# program isnt working? I need it to set up data on the phone. For some reason it's not working on DCD's, but works on the stock bell, as well as JD's (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=32990)
If you're looking for EPST, try just ##778 Send. That brings it up for me.

Hit the home button 3 times to off universal switch mode
I tried pressing the home button, but it is not working for me. Maybe the nova launcher intercepts the home button. Ahhh.. I don't want to format my phone. I also tried rebooting it, now I am locked out of my phone..
Update: I found the solution. Just use an OTG and Connect a mouse to disable the feature..
I had the same issue @Keitri
tried all solution like soft rest and run it in safe mode, and run recovery mode and wipe cache partition but no success
could you help me inn the problem and explain how did you overcome the issue?
thanks

Sorry for the late reply. Just connect a usb mouse using the OTG cable. From there you can disable the universal switch.
it works with OTG cable + mouse

Amazfit Stratos Touchscreen

touchscreen has half not working, anyone has any solution tyo remote control the screen so i can acess the settings?
this Java app can be used to view and control watch via ADB only:
https://github.com/MajeurAndroid/Adb-Remote-Screen
I have the same problem, my right touch stopped working and I can't access the watch options or the last 2 weather information, you can try using adb command to reset the watch, in my case it is still not working. My watch is new and I have used it only for 1 week
I have exactly the same problem. Is this ROM related?
The right side of the touchscreen seems to be working on all other screens - I can for instance access the Compass and the Stopwatch that are also on the right side but on a different menu.
There's a youtube video showing the problem but I can't post because I'm newly registered. Just search for "Settings Button on Amazfit Stratos Not Working" on Youtube.
same problem
my stratos is with the same problem.
one solution would be to develop a ROM with the configuration button on the left side of the screen.

New firmware update didn’t fix the problem for me ?
I tried installing different ROMs but nothing seems to work, i think that the problem is the touchscreen and not software related.
The only way to access the watch setting that i found is to enable the app list using the huami amazfit tool and then swipe at the end and select settings (which is written in chinese).
Since i have the watch bootloader unlocked, i'm not sure if you can enable the app list with the bootloader locked.
Hope it helps. :good:

If you go all the way to the right and access the menu where you have the Compass and the Stopwatch, can you click on those? I can, and that's why I think it is software related but of course, I might be wrong

In my case it is hardware issue, the right touch is not working in any others screen.
You can check the touchscreen response by activating the hidden mode Lab and then enable the pointer location. If i touch the left part it appears the pointer and all the movement that i do, if i try to touch the right part nothing happens, it's dead, hardware issue
I have the same issue. But with latest international firmware 2.3.5.0. Did you solve it? What did Amazfit support say?
Something weird. After some useless rebooting and using the ADB remote screen I can now use the lower right part of the touchscreen again. However now sometimes the widgets just jumping forth and back.
Hey,
I have the same problem.

This app is for Android?
Do you can access settings wifi, time format, ....?
Just use ADB remote screen for this.
Please help, is this above described mostly unresponsive touchscreen (setting icon) a software problem or a hardware problem? I cannot try out because I do not want to loose warranty while flashing back or to the latest chinese beta. I just have recognized it since 2.3.5.0. Thanks!
I did not rinse the watch with water for some days because I did not do workouts with it. Now the touch screen is working more and more again. There is still a dead spot in the middle which makes swiping down the quick settings menu a bit difficult but the settings and brightness icons are now working again. I guess there is water within the watch causing this. Maybe the watch is not as swimmprove as advertised. I just did one pool while taking care of kids. Nothing more. Since it is a swimming watch, water is probably not coming out of it's own.
Good news, I'll trying.
I'll trying good luck for us.

Guys, do you know if that screenshot off the hardware menu of stratos is normal?
I just bought it. First thing as soon as I paired it, it was to upgrade at 2.6.3.1
As I was checking out I noticed that on "Stopwatch" I couldn't press the reset/lap button whatever I tried.
Also at "Timer" I couldn't press the stop button or couldn't select the minutes on previews screen.
It seem to me that the lower left corner off the touchscreen isn't responding.
Does my finding on hardware menu (picture) confirms that?
left corner
P.S. : None intervention was made at the watch. Only upgrading.
I restored to factory settings 3 times and the problem remains.

If you clean it very well and the problem persists, then probably the digitizer (touchscreen) is damaged.
I just got my Stratos back from repair. They apparently replaced the touchscreen. But I don't know if it was caused by water entering the device or just a crappy screen. But now it is working fine.

Smart Unlock (location)

I love this feature but sometimes I have to keep resetting it because it doesn't seem to recognised I'm home, everything is working but it still forces me to unlock manually, anyone else having this issue?

Yes, all the time. This is quite annoying.
