[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] wpscully:
I don't have easy-to-hear information for you. But I offer these words as a way to think about this situation.

I believe Samsung intentionally builds phones which are extremely hard to break into. This is a conscious design decision they make. Why? Because so many users do things like credit card payments, banking, and social media, where, if you lost your phone and a bad person found it, an easy-to-break-into device would have potentially catastrophic results. Aside from the harm to a user who lost a phone, Samsung themselves would be subjected to great reputational damage, too. It's bad press when it's easy to break into and steal something.

Also, you may not be able to break into the device, even with the help of a commercial vendor. Exploits in Android, when found, are patched regularly. A very smart person might have had a way to crack into a phone last week, last month, or last year. But again, Samsung intends to continually patch the software to keep it secure. They make a point to telling people that Samsung phones are patched for several years, so users will feel confident their data will be secure.

One suspects certain governments have police or security organizations who likely could break in, but they are unlikely to help in a personal situation, as you described.

Although this doesn't seem to apply to you, it's worth saying that Samsung phones are also backed up (by default) to their "cloud." It's possible that a lawyer might be able, with proper documentation of the owner's death, to get access to Samsung's (or Google's) cloud backup(s). I don't think it's easy though. Google, at least in the USA, allows the owner of an account to specify how Google should handle their data if they stop accessing their accounts. (I think Google treats an idle account as "dead" and for reasons like this, if you no longer want to use a vendor like Samsung or Google, you should proactively delete your account, not merely let it go idle.)

Anyone reading this post, might want to consider having what can be an uncomfortable conversation with your friends and family: "How would you like your friends and family handle your electronic, financial, and social accounts in the event of your death?"

Please, forgive me if any of this sounds insensitive. My father worked in insurance and as part of his job he knew all to well that all people eventually die. And how hard it is for those left behind to pick up the pieces, especially when secrets are involved. My family knows where to find my keys.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Angus_xda:
I am nearly identical situation. A coworker's 25 year old son committed suicide with no indication as to why. They are looking for answers in his locked phone.

Like you all I was looking for was confirmation that it can be done not opinions on whether it should be or not.

I believe @wpscully is right though. If there is a way it's not something we are going to easily get our hands on.

Maybe it's for the best. There is no reason that is going to make these parents feel better.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] nullstring2:
I am also in a similar situation. Has anyone found a resolution to this?

My grandfather has asked if I can find a way to unlock the phone to investigate any recent calls or messages.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] niteridet:
I like the fact that you came and posted and knew what you were talking about. I am sorry for your loss too. I dont even know where to start. yesturday i tried to unlock a Galaxy A03 - and droidkit asks for $$,!I browsed youtube for possible videos that give methods of how to get passed the screen lock pin entry and access all settings without hard factory reset. i guessd the wrong pin several times yesturday - It wouldnt let me input another pin on the lock screen for 2 hours, then I failed again after that and had to wait anothet 4 hours- then 6 then 8 hours after I kept messing up the pin on the lock screen. now, I ca. input another combination to try and unlock the screen but dont know what else to do. I popped my sim card in the phone and am able to call it- i found out the phone must me unlocked through its carrier because my sim card is a specific carrier. bluetooth option is toggled off in he notification panel, but wifi is on, location is on . Now i just tried anothet pin possibility- and its locked again for another 24 hours. auhhhhhh help please!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] drnightshadow:
Use Google/Samsung find my phone and unlock it from PC .... Jesus people are using gaps and don't known how to unlock own devices... ignorance is a bliss!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
The best way is to never allow a lock out to be able happen!

Never set a pin or password*. A hardware failure or SEU can corrupt a critical piece of data making the Google/Samsung unlocking apps useless!

My N10+'s never had passwords or the pin setup. Don't even know if the fingerprint scanners work, never used. Double tap on/off.

The SD card is unencrypted as well.

Write down the Google account and password.

Always do a factory reset in settings instead of using the recovery menu. Delete the Google and Samsung accounts before doing the factory reset in settings. With a boot loop you lose this option.

Avoid doing stupid things that can crash an Android especially installing bad apps. Firmware updates/upgrades aren't needed; they can and do screw up Androids. My one N10+ hasn't been factory reset in 4 years, this will soon be going on 3 years**. No malware in all that time on these heavily used stock devices.

The run fast and very stable. That's what Androids are capable of.

Always backup critical data regularly and redundantly.

*whenever you set a pin, password or encrypt a a device or data drive, YOU are the one most likely to be locked out! Sometimes through no fault of your own! If password unlocking fails the data is more than likely lost forever.

Physical security is the only real security. Keep in you possession at all times, treat it like your wallet or car keys or in a secured place.

**no firmware updates/upgrades in that time either. Still running the factory loaded version of Android 10 on the one. I spend very little time troubleshooting and minimal time doing routine maintenance. They're both optimized and any needed work arounds implemented. When you muck with the firmware you change the playing field and that will cause you more work...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] drnightshadow:
Yap, you have absolutely right. But people.. khmmm

Ignorance is and Bliss! :unsure:

I even don't use gapps from android 4.2. I install LineageOS ASAP as I unpack the device. Hate spyware, adware, bloatwears, trackers, loggers, data minings, etc. I have my own crypto to lock the data.. so even if someone get hands on my device, will get scrambled data lool I wish that guy good luck.

And also have my own DAV server to sync data.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
Every time I see these threads it reminds me to organize my critical data and back it up.

My data is more valuable to me than anyone else so I error towards safe guarding it from encryption mishaps instead.

Pretty much I am the security and more than willing to get physical about it. That said I don't flash my phone around in places I shouldn't when out. Treat it like my wallet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dcdivenut:
Okay.. I know this sounds insane but check out the screen cap.

I got my Fuze on Tuesday but I have been super busy with work. I started really playing around tonight, but have not done any ROMs etc. I was mucking around with speed tests on Opera after reading some the HSDPA issue threads here and I am not sure what I did but I go this screen

As far as I know vzw means Verizon Wireless... any thoughts... I checked the settings and as far as I can tell it is all AT&T
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] spaghetti_monster:
THats prettty cool :D it its vzw btw um outa area data roaming?

I rly doubt this but a partner ship w/ vzw and att in that area or att is payn them to use that tower in a specifc area.

What speeds did you get btw?

Verizon operates on a diff band right if im not forgeting. So it could be what i just said.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BBM-Lee:
Sprint's Touch Pro can...

But the Fuze can't roam on Verizon. (at least not at the tower level).

My guesses:

1) The IP was previously reported as a verizon IP and it got lumped into that

2) The tower routed the traffic onto a verizon network after the signal hit the tower
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dcdivenut:
I am in Washington DC so not roaming... now I am seeing some weirdness where it will not connect to data. I was getting this yesterday as well.

By the way... what is ims.cingular? I know wap.cingular and isp.cingular, but this is a new one by me.

I noticed that the blood pressure calibration part is performed through the phone, so maybe use that as base
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
gonna pay for someone to develop? In my opinion it is almost a waste of time having this feature since you need to calibrate it with a blood pressure monitor every month
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
You have to completely still for it to be of any use, theres literally no point in having it automatically done every hour under those circumstances, you'd be getting unusable data

If you can sit down and still once an hour and hit the button manually, you'll get a proper reading...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Noamben:
You're right but... And it's a big one. There's a test that's quite regular off randomly taking blood pressure across three days non stop. It to doesn't care about the inaccuracies that occurre by not sitting or resting and so on.

Further more some people are under pressure just by the test itself, and have more accurate results from random measure.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
In case my previous post wasnt clear any measurements you take without being at rest are worthless, theyre of no value to a doctor etc. For instance my doctor is exactly with her BP procedure as the calibration routine for the watch is...dont move, dont speak...i have a heart condition, so ive had more BP tests than most people have had hot dinners
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Noamben:
Well you are determined to ignore what l told you in previous post and I can't figure why. The name of the test is Blood Pressure Holter and it's a common test.

allso it's not rare that people are afraid and tens of the procedure of blood pressure measurement because the pressure applied by the cuff. So taking a random test is a solution.

​
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] graemelisa:
Tasker - if you google you will find a Tasker task that automates the process (with the wear plugin) this could easily be scheduled to happen every hour. As previously stated however it is virtually useless as you must stay still for it to work.......
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Ive had holter monitor test for my heart condition, its a completely different test that a simple blood pressure test, it tests heart rhythm, over a longer period than an ECG/EKG (of which it is entirely more closely related than BP), not pressure.

See: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/holter-monitor/about/pac-20385039

For (hopefully) the last time, taking random BP tests when not at rest is a complete waste of time....

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] TacoDeMuerte:
I think the point is that a holter monitor is different hardware from the watches BP sensor, and the watches sensor isn't designed to be used in that way and won't produce any meaningful readings.

Aside from that, I think the suggestion of using an auto-tasker is your best bet, as there isn't much incentive for developers to make this app. There isn't much demand for it, and users would absolutely give it bad reviews for how inaccurate the measurements would be, even though it isn't the app or developers fault.

With that said, if you still have your heart set on an app, you could take a crack at making it yourself. There are plenty of tutorials online to get you started.

Hello!

I looked for resources to learn WinUI with C++ but couldn't find relevant material because most of the articles were about WinUI and C# development. However, I was able to find some sources for XAML. Can you refer some relevant guides, books, tutorials (text or video format) or any other useful resources.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mr.Conkel:
Just curious to see what people use this tablet for these days. I'm trying to find a good use for mine and am coming to the conclusion that if you want what has features its going to come with issues. But Lineage is quite fast just no features.

Curious on others opinions!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] erdar:
Having installed a12 I was disappointed with its work (compared to stock a6). The rom works fine (except for quick settings, the curtain always lags) until additional programs are installed

Then disappointed in the A12, I decided to switch to the A11, namely the OFFICIAL latest CRDROID. It also started to work worse when a bunch of programs I needed appeared, but not so, it could be in use. However, when I tried to listen to music all night because of him, he was unloading Spotify (he seems to have serious problems with working with RAM. Of course, another reason is 2 GB of RAM)

I also had a strange bug that the tablet completely hung, and after restarting the ROM broke. The blind did not want to open completely, there were problems with the software.

As a result, I returned to a12, put fewer programs, tried to configure the kernel, the system to be more or less comfortable to use it. Of course, this is not the level of a6 or a9, but if you want Something new, cool design, why not.

In my opinion, it is better to use the 9-11 android, as well as install the kernel with overclocking, it is very necessary here.

I'm still new to using this device, so I haven't used much ROM, but it's probably in the future 😆
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lyushiK:
From here ... > ... The best

No need to look at a high Android!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mr.Conkel:
CrDroid isn't broken but it does have an odd systemUi bug likely to the system partition and other things being so outdated. Whenever restarting the tablet it will continue to respring until it decides to boot the best way to handle this is just to leave it be I've found that more often then not it will eventually start up, other times it refuses to start at all and I will have to reboot again most times I try to refrain from turning it off. Unfortunately this seems like the only way to get good features for this tablet. Wishing someone would take interest like forkLineage or EvoX perhaps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] erdar:
I agree, although I prefer pixel experience (and the like).

As for the CRDROID ... My problem was that the curtain does not open, and many programs were not launched, and there was an arrow in the bar, which is displayed only when the navigation bar is two Buttons, and I had gestures enabled) Very strange, actually. It's funny that it all started after the ROM crashed .. I still wanted to try at least lineage 18.1, but after reinstalling a12 I'm too lazy 😆
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Chase Whittemore:
Running unofficial LineageOS 17.1. I don't really use the tablet or anything really. My touch screen doesn't really work, along with the tilt sensor. It's really slow which is to be expected. I use my Fire 7 since it's faster and less frustrating to use.

Easy enough to test.

Let me try... since I care about helping people out.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sudermatt:
Here's a neat trick that completely hoses your memory management. Hopefully somebody can tell me why. If you have other directories in Start Menu, you can only run one program at a time.....??????!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Quickmenu, and like to set up my windows startup folders like so:

Programs

Media

Utilities

Office Apps

Settings

This allows me to be just a couple clicks from everything.

I recently flashed DCD's latest and LOVED all the extra memory to play with. I could just see myself driving down the road, listening to S2P, following my progress in Google Maps, switching over to check scores on the browser then answer a text....

AND I COULD! when I first loaded the ROM, I didn't have time to make my normal changes to the windows startup and went to work doing just what I illustrated.

Then when I got home, I sat down to set the folders up.

next day on the way to work...I had my music pumpin and opened up Google to check traffic....the music stopped....I lost S2P.

in fact...I could only run one app at once....seriously...if I was browsing this forum and tried to answer a text message, the browser would get dumped....

I couldn't figure it out....I started uninstalling, stuff left and right...but nothing helped. Then I moved my folders out of Start Menu and dropped them under Program Files

Program Files

-----Media

-----Office Apps

-----Utilites

Settings

Low and behold...I could run more than one program again...

SOMEBODY TELL WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! ;-P
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebb:
I haven't set up subfolders in Quickmenu for several ROMS now, but...

just guessing, what do you have your "ok" button set for in the Quickmenu options, or for that matter the "x-button" setting? I would play around with those settings. Maybe if the setting is a certain way, scolling and selecting an additional app through the menu structure also simultaneously closes the one thats active?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sudermatt:
Thank you for the reply....If what you are suggesting is true, then I wouldn't matter how my folders were set up....the mere fact that I'm using QuickMenu is somehow closing the current app because of settings.

1. My settings do not change based on folder setup

2. Only when I have more than Programs and Settings in Start Menu do I have the problem.

I'm tellin' ya...there's something funky going on.
[Asus ZenWatch] SWAT Strachan:
Hey all.

It seems like this section of the forum hasn't seen any visitors for some time, not surprising given the age of the original Zenwatch. However, I am posting this on the slim chance that someone with one of these watches might see it and help a brother out.

My Zenwatch was bricked years ago following a corrupted OTA update, and hasn't seen the light of day since. Recently though I found the watch, charged it up, and gave it another go. The stock firmware was still crashing constantly leaving the watch unusable, but I managed to install the Asteroid OS on the watch and now it works, albeit in a very limited fashion compared to the official software.

Now that I know that the watch itself is OK, and it just needs the stock firmware to be installed, I turn to you. Asus were unable to help me, as they no longer have access to the original firmware (or more likely, they're unwilling to share them with an end user), I am hoping that someone on this forum still possesses one of these watches and can create and share a backup of the OS, as it now appears that this is pretty much my last chance of getting my watch working properly again.

So, any retro watch owners left in this corner of the t'interweb?

helloworld1337 you might be about to make a lot of people very happy!

I'm not sure how to extract the firmware from the watch, I'll have to do a little research in to that, but I don't think it's a particularly complicated procedure. Give me a little time and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks again!
[Asus ZenWatch] helloworld1337:
Hi!

I got problems with ROOTing.

Tried Kingroot, kingoroot - failed at exploiting. Also looked for TWRP, but all links dead.

ED: Failed means that process went to the end without results.
[Asus ZenWatch] SWAT Strachan:
Yeah I've not been able to find TWRP anywhere either. It's gone midnight now and I'm turning in but I'll see what I can find tomorrow. Bear with me, we're almost there.
[Asus ZenWatch] SWAT Strachan:
Just to check, have you done these steps?

On your watch, head to Menu->Settings->About and tap on Build number for 7-8 times until it says you are a developer. When it does, the developer menu should be unlocked on your watch.

Head to Menu->Settings->Developer options and enable ADB debugging. Without this, your computer will not be able to communicate with your watch.
[Asus ZenWatch] helloworld1337:
Yeah sure. I also went to the fastboot mode by swiping from right top corner to left bottom at boot, or sth like that and enabled bootloader by oem unlock. Kingroot has problem with rooting because device is unsupported. It tries many root strategies but all of them are unsuccessfull. It's Marshmallow 6.0.1 - m1d65s build.
