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

Hi
How is there a way tu use my computer internet on my Hero throught the USB connection ??
Thanks
I'm sure there is, but wouldn't be easier to use bluetooth or wifi connection for that?

Do you mean use the Hero "tethered" as a modem for the computer? If so the answer (at least for UK Heros) is yes.
First of all make sure you have HTC Sync on your computer. Then do the following:
1 Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
3. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
4. Select the Mobile network sharing check box.
@peterc10, I think the OP means the opposite (ie. tethering the Hero to a computer via USB), but I'm not sure.
Certainly, putting it on your wireless network (or getting one) would be an easier option, and it wouldn't require any cables. As a bonus, you can use your home internet from all round the house with the device.
@schlagg, any reason the wireless suggestion wouldn't work. Personally, I think it would be a lot easier to set up.

I wasn't sure either, hence my first question. I don't know whether you can do it the other way around, and I have wifi at home so don't need to anyway.
I guess we will have to wait for the OP to tell us which they meant.

GPRS/3G disabled on the phone, and internet on computer

no particular reason
just being curious
my wifi connection works well ...
but sometimes, i manage to go to some friends who don't have wifi
with my previous winmo, it was possible without any configuration, so just wondering if its the same here
i was actually wondering about the same thing..i dont have a wifi router and i dont think i'll be getting one soon anw since it wont "work" on my house... we have multiple floors and we prefer cables kinda
anw can i access the internet through USB?
No, this is not possible. The USB hardware in the Hero is that of a USB Slave (or USB Device, like a printer or camera.) In order for it to get internet access from this port, it would have to be set up as a USB Host, like your computer is. If you 'adb shell' into your phone and run "ls /dev/" you won't see any USB devices there.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I'm 99% sure this is the case.
EDIT: I think the best option would be to get a USB Bluetooth dongle for your computer. You can get one for like $15. Maybe less.

Nope. Quote from manual
"The phone supports the following Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, and AVRCP."
AFAIK none of those will enable you to use the computer as a modem. The first two are self explanatory. A2DP allows movement of stereo music files. AVRCP stands for "Audio/Video Remote Control Profile" which allows your phone to act as a remote control
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.

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'...
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?
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.
Hey fellow q-founder-owners,
am I right that there is no way to connect the watch to a PC for using ADB etc.?
I tried it with the charging dock and my PC didn't recognize it as a device. Of course there is the option for adb-debugging in the developer options,
but that doesn't change anything.
Also: How can I get into the fastboot section during booting up?
This watch tends so suck more and more....
I am not sure but to use adb you have to activate developer option on your phone and watch and setup an adb session over Bluetooth. http://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/bt-debugging.html
is there any news about connecting?
i still trying this too, but get no connection to my mac or windows pc -.-
Just like with other Android wear watches a USB connection requires a special cable that interfaces with the main board. Very few Android wear watches have traditional USB connectivity...
As for ADB it can be set up via Bluetooth and the Android wear app.
Thank you for this!

I normally just lurk around and not comment on things, but today this was the answer I needed! So thank you for this. I have had a couple of WearOS smartwatches in the past that I would need ADB to give permissions to with Autowear and Tasker. Normally I would just USB connect them to my computer with the charger it came with and the computer can detect them to allow me to debug them with ADB, but I just recently got the Fossil Gen 5 and the charger it came with wasn't working. The computer couldn't detect the watch connected to it through the USB charger. Using these steps to debug through Bluetooth via the phone while the phone was connected via USB to the computer worked great. I'm commenting on this so hopefully, someone like me trying to do the same thing might find this thread/post from Google Search.
Keywords for Google to pick up on - Fossil Gen 5, Autowear, Tasker, ADB
