[Q] USB Debug Mode location? - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I swear I am not an idiot (most of the time). My Tab 3 8.0 is rooted (yay!) and I'm looking for the Developer's section in Settings to turn on USB Debug mode - but I can't find this. According to Samsung, I should have Developers listed on the left side with the rest of my options, but I don't see this. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00055286/66880 I believe I've gone into all of the options to see if it was hidden, etc., but I can't seem to find this. (Maybe I just need my morning caffeine.)

Ah, yep found how to add the Developer Options.
Go to Settings > About device.
Tap Build number seveen times.
Now I can mark USB debugging and continue on with Titanium Backup Pro.
I seriously did Google this before asking my question... then I reworded my question and found how to add the Developer Options. Regardless, I figured someone else might want to know the answer.

Can't retrieve contacts - Screen doesnt turn on

Hey Guys/Gals,
So my screen won't turn on but fortunately, Samsung is fixing it for free! Thats pretty much the only good news that I have.
For reasons that I'd rather not share, there were contacts added to my phone's internal HD (this is an assumption), rather than adding their info to Google/Gmail. If you can recall, when adding a new phone, you are prompted with 2 choices: Phone or Google. On many occasions, I selected the "phone" option.
To my dismay (noob fail), I didn't root my phone after the Froyo update. Hence, I cant access : data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db <--- where i believe the contacts are stored.
I can't transfer my contacts from one phone to another (via the hub and 2 wires) b/c the appropriate settings can not be set from my phone, due to the powerless screen.
I have exhausted all options that I could think of and am now finally turning to XDA for help. Can anyone offer some help please? I will be greatly appreciated.

I responded in the other post you made on the same subject. Sprint can do it as long as it turns on. Got the machine.

This isn't true according to what they told me. They said they need to configure some settings which would allow them to do so. These settings can't be configured unless the screen is on <--- what they told me :/

That's probably what they needed to set. I remember the girl at the Sprint booth didn't have to set anything to suck the contacts off my Palm Pre but I guess it is different for Epic contact sucking.

New Developement Regarding Secret Menu

If you dont already know you can get to a secret menu on your KIN TWOm or KIN TWO by typping in ##programmitt. Well I have done some poking around with it and I found this:
Repro steps:
RilRadioSoftwareVersion: v0.4.727
CloudConnectivityServiceServerName: 310_04_si.ct.pmese.com
ClientBuildNumber: 01.00.4704.0000
This is the basic codex for error reporting. I thought this looked promising so I went deeper and Im still poking around. Ill keep you posted. I think this might have some potential for a way into the software itself. If you want to know how I got there Ill tell you:
1. Dial ##programmitt into your phone app
2. Enter:000000 into the 6-digit pin lock. Then press ok.
3.Press OTHER
4.Go to logging level.
5.Scroll down to the bottom.Then press ok.
6.The turn on Alt+Shift+Y
7. Go to your apps screen and hold down the green button+Shift+Y
8. It will say uploding logging files. It will take some time so be patient. You can turn off your phone if you want to abort this will not cause software amadge.
9.Follow the steps given on your screen.
Ok guys I have another developement for you. The USB drivers under OTHER can be used when your phone is connected through to your computer I am going to attempt a triple primary bypass and see if I cant get us inside the software or at least the service menu. Also if you guys have any ideas let me know. Ill keep you posted.
I got a new discovery: Earth is almost round and blue.
You went 1 year late. KKthxbye
This proves how much people reads the forum...... sigh.
I hope the next post is not about how to use the UsbSerialClass mode with some Qualcomm drivers which.. oh sh#t!!, is on the stickied with 21k+ visits above!

OP3 blank screen - need to access a file on there

Hello, I really hope somone can help with this problem - I know the obvious answer is to get the screen repaired but I cant afford it. I've tried looking at other posts as well but am not getting anywhere.
Last year the screen went on my OP3 after being dropped and the screen is now blank with quite a few cracks. The phone still works - all the buttons work and I think I've even managed to enter the PIN. I now need to retrieve a file from the phone.
The phone hasn't been rooted or modded in any way (it's as it came from the factory). When I plug it into my PC i can see the drivers folder and the 5 files in there, but nothing else.
I was hoping I could access the phone remotely but OTG was not enabled, though I did in the past enable developer options. I believe hope is not lost, as the phone can be put into fastboot (or something like that - I'm not terribly techy but can work things out) but without being able to see the screen..... I've looked ADB devices and there's nothing after "list of devices attached".
Is there any way of being able to do something? I've looked for screenshots to see if I can operate the phone blind, but can't find anything. I am patient and will keep trying until i get it or save the money for a repair, but I really need the file asap. The phone itself isn't important to me (I've replaced it since) - only the data on it.
Very grateful for any help anyone can offer.
edit: Wifi enabled solutions are not an option sadly as I've changed my ISP since so can't amend the settings on the phone (unless I get extremely lucky)
You're screwed, just buy another screen.
It will be easier to just lend a money.

Unless you enable 'USB Debugging' in Developer Options and install the required drivers, your phone will not be 'seen' by your PC. Without your phone being 'seen' by your PC, nothing can be done.

Google Verification Bypass

I need help.
I work for a disaster response company.
Here is the dilemma
We have 8 of these devices.
LG G Pad X 10.1 Verizon LG-V930
They are all locked with the google verification and we can not get them to bypass it.
I have not tried to flash a new ROM, but and i dont even know if that will work.
I have seen a few different posts about getting rid of it, but some of the settings are missing and i can not finish that process.
I need help resetting these so that our drivers can use them again

Why not login to the original Google account? If there legitimately owned you should have no problem getting into them.

They are legitimately owned.
However the ones we are having issues with are employees that were terminated, or they were temp employeess, and they used their personal accounts on these devices. The ones that used the company email we can retrieve.
We have reached out to them but some are not willing to give us the information to help.

Ouch! Now I understand.
That's gonna be a tough one. Generally your gonna need there login info to get back into them. There are dodgy Ebay sellers that claim they can get passed it for certain models of phones. but honestly that's the only other way around that if it's even possible for those models.
Now if you have receipts for them Google might be able to do something if you get ahold of the right person.

Yeah, so since they are ATT models that seems to be the problem, The locked bootloader, and none of the work arounds i have seen or programs can do this one. Which i why i came here for some extra advice.

Only solution is to get ahold of the right person at Google. Maybe send a tweet out
Are they over a year old?

I don't know if you figured this out or if this would help but I think I can get you into the guest account on these devices.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box if it allows it, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.

Question Please help!!

Good evening, my pixel 6 USB preferences is missing from the status bar and also for some reason it will not keep the roaming network I pick and chooses to act like automatic.
I need it to stay on a specific network so u don't get roaming charges internationally, but when I click on the roaming network I want, it goes to the next one. I have automatically connect to network off. Anyone offer any help please?
Thank you in advance
Try a network reset if you haven't.
Clear system cache.
I will try that thank you, and about the USB preferences missing, anyway to add them to status bar?

Don't know. Check Developer options.
This seems to be a common complaint... you may need to work around it.

Yeah, couldn't find the option in developmer options not sure why the removed such a very useful feature
Can you fix the title to make more contextual sense for anyone browsing?
We don't want to read "Help please", it'd be better for everyone to read "[Help] USB Status Notification Missing" or whatever would better describe your issue.
I hate to say it, but the only thing I can think of to try is a factory reset. But I don't know if it'll help. The USB settings in Developer Options is present for me.
In the developer option I have a "Default USB configuration" toggle which then brings up a sub menu for the various options (File Transfer, USB Tethering, MIDI, PTP and No data transfer". Is this what you meant, or were you looking for an option to switch on a quick tile in the main notification drop down? If the latter, I don't think that exists in Android 12.
