tl;dr:

How do I disable touch input on the cover screen while a call is incoming, so I don't accidentally reject calls ?

Full:

I just recently got a Flip 3. I have a dealbreaker "feature". You can answer and reject calls from the cover screen by swiping.

When outside I keep the phone in my pocket, in folded position. When a call comes in and I try to pull the phone out I *always* accidentally reject the call.

I know I can completely disable the cover screen, but that is not what I want. I want to use the cover screen to see notifications an time.

How do I disable touch input on the cover screen while a call is incoming ?

Alternatively; how do I disable touch input on the cover screen while in my pocket ?

The main screen (and any other smartphone in the world) has a proximity sensor, so the screen is off, even when a call incoming, if the phone is in the pocket. Not so the cover screen.

When the cover screen is disabled I can still answer calls by opening the phone and reject by pressing the power button. I *really* don't need touch on the cover screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Juuushiro:
You do not have any option to do that. only with a custom-made cover screen to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chip273a:
Could you nod me in the right direction for coding custom cover screens please ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cproo12:
@Juuushiro is telling you to physically cover the touch screen with some kind of jerry-rigged case hahaha not software.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] beanbean50:
There's two cover launcher apps for our flip 3

One is CoverScreen OS

and the other is SamSprung TooUI

but I'm not quite sure if they can do what you require or not.

@cproo12 I got this last week and lovin it, you can slide a cover over the screen.

true
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] anawilliam850:
Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to disable touch input on the cover screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 while a call is incoming. However, there is a workaround that may help.

You can try using a third-party app to disable touch input on the cover screen. One such app is "Touch Lock - Touch Blocker for Video, Kids and Kiosk", which is available for free on the Google Play Store. This app allows you to temporarily disable touch input on your device.

To use the app, you can follow these steps:

Install the "Touch Lock" app from the Google Play Store.

Open the app and grant it the necessary permissions.

When a call comes in and the cover screen lights up, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification panel.

Tap the "Touch Lock" notification to enable touch lock.

The app will now prevent touch input on the cover screen, so you can safely take the phone out of your pocket without accidentally rejecting the call.

Keep in mind that using a third-party app to disable touch input may impact the overall functionality and user experience of your device.

It's not good, but I assume it's mostly for devices from China running ColorOs. My plan is to restore and convert to OxygenOS and delete any bloat apps.

If you want privacy, go off the internet and live in the woods. There's no phone that doesn't spy on you
[OnePlus 11] immortalwon:
They do, which is why they are removing the abilities of users to root / install custom recoveries because they don't want the spyware removed.

Much rather have American companies spying though.
[OnePlus 11] horsecharles:
Thank you all for all responses.

The point is to avoid the worst of the worst- China seeing and recording everything done on the phone \ dataset for sale on dark web.

Not counting on any government help- Apple now has succumbed to encryption backdoor, law being proposed in UK to ban sale and possession of encrypted phone, etc. ad nauseam.

Not asking for total privacy- for that we can look up Rob Braxman Tech on social media for de-Googled \ de-crapified \ de-Androided \ etc. \ removable battery phones...

Personally, much of tech & moneymaking knowledges learned \ new products \ best pricing has often been thru the big bad Tech corps using personal info for targeted ads...

[OnePlus 11] furrycurry:
False. Chinese spy identified folks. (Although for Chinese citizens, agreed the most hostile nation is their own. Family members and friends disappearing to concentration camps for speaking out on social media, etc.)
[OnePlus 11] furrycurry:
Here here. 100% the correct frame of mind. Hostile nation that actively wants to harm us. By the way speaking as a OnePlus 11 preorder holder lol. Decided to give OP one last chance since I haven't used a OP phone since the OP5. Maybe I can use some packet sniffing apps to check for Chinese domains.
[OnePlus 11] Guyinlaca:
The best bet is to use ADB to disable or uninstall any OnePlus specific apps. On the OnePlus 8 Pro, it was easy to uninstall any apps that had .cn in the app name.
[OnePlus 11] furrycurry:
I've heard in some cases uninstalling system apps can result in OTA's failing system verification phase. Does anyone know if OP does any system partition verification when performing OTA's?
[OnePlus 11] horsecharles:
Android phones transmit personal info to China without consent

Even to service providers that don't provide service.

And we know that all Chinese companies but the very small by law have embedded government & military liaisons that vacuum all data.

I'm not convinced that that scoped personal data (& user actions) doesn't also make its way to the dark web for sale to criminals and brokers that allow our agencies & law enforcement to indirectly obtain our whitewashed data otherwise unlawful for them to directly access.

At least I would want to avoid criminals stealing personal identity \ funds. Some of the price quotes on their forums are so low...

Thanks all.

Verizon users, just so you know the My Verizon app is an actual Trojan horse. Call Verizon and ask them questions about your phone, at that same moment have a firewall open and you'll see them use the app and will see data transfered. Block the app on firewall then ask them the same question, they will say something is wrong and they cannot answer it. I discovered this years ago and made a post about it.

looking at the Device Fingerprint, I assume you have the CHUWI Hi9 Pro, if your device has dual boot (windows and android), then use this Guide.

If on the other hand your device is spoofing that fingerprint and you can't dual boot, then use This. (only if your device is not a CHUWI)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
Hello everyone.

Months ago I threw my Galaxy Note10 in the pool, result: K.O.

I took it to several repair centers, and they all told me the MB is gone.

I would like to try the chip off, by unmounting the memory chip and remounting it on another MB on new Note10.

Now my question is: Assuming the operation goes smoothly, can I just recover the data, or can I hope to use the new terminal as if it were the old one?

Maybe samsung implemented a secure file system, which only the original note can get access to? And in this case, is there a solution?

This is also because I need to recover the Google Authenticator app which, as you know, only stores locally,

so my hope is in a nutshell: Mount the old memory chip on the new MB, turn on the new phone and find everything as it was on the old one. Is such a thing possible?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Please remember to search before posting to ensure you're posting in the right section for your device:

As a courtesy, we will move your thread to the Galaxy Note 10 Questions and Answers section.

As for your question...without the specialized equipment used in manufacture of these devices, it is all but impossible. Surface mount devices are incredibly hard to remove from boards without damage. Unfortunately, your data is lost.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
The chip-off technique is very common and is used successfully on all smartphones.

Obviously it has to be done by a specialized center with the right equipment, and it was obviously understood that I intend to turn to professionals for this job.

Now, given that the data is not lost at all, and that the chip off almost always works, usually only a data recovery is performed, by inserting the memory chip into special reading tools. To which my question is if it was possible to reassemble the aforementioned chip on a new MB of a working device, instead of only performing a data recovery from a reader.

I also apologize for posting in this section, but the chip off is a universal technique, which affects all types of MB and regardless of the type and brand of smartphone, I wrote the model only for completeness of information even if the question was obviously generalized to the concept. For this reason I chose to post it in the general questions section.

Thanks for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
chip off is pointless even if storage is soldered to different mainboard, as the hardware-backed encryption master key is unique for each SPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
Thank you, so how is it possible that in 90% of chip off cases on smartphones of many brands, the data is recovered? is there a way to decrypt the data using decryption tools?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I've been in the electronics industry for nearly 18 years. It's not nearly as common as you think, as I describe below....

And you'll pay a LOT of money to do it. There isn't much of a market for this kind of specialized repair on "disposable" consumer electronics including smartphones. The reason why is simply cost. OEMs already have established manufacturing processes to produce thousands of boards a day; it's much cheaper to simply replace the entire board in a device than it would be to get the specialized equipment as well as the organic skill necessary to do this. I used to work for a Fortune 100 company that produces military grade avionics; in most cases, we did not replace defective SMD components, but rather the entire board. The cost of a component might be anywhere from the tens to hundreds of dollars, whereas the board could be upwards of $40,000, but again, it's simply more cost effective to replace a manufactured assembly than it is to try to install the "old" flash device onto a new board. In the consumer electronics industry, this difference is even more profound - a supplier can produce complete assemblies for cents on the dollar, and since it's so inexpensive to just replace with new, that's the preferred method of repair instead of replacing components - and that is if they bother repairing the device at all, because in many cases they'll simply replace an inoperable device with a new one.

When I said "lost" I meant in the context of the ability of the average user to recover it. Yes, it is absolutely possible to read the data from the flash devices, but to do so you have to have some pretty specialized equipment and software, which I assume you don't have. Most repair centers won't have this, either, because as I described above, they'll simply replace entire assemblies. If your car's engine loses compression in a single cylinder, most repair centers won't replace the components in just that cylinder - they'll at least replace the entire cylinder head assembly, complete with valves and cams; they might just replace the entire engine if the problem is deep enough, instead of tearing it down to the block. Why? Because it's simply more expensive to replace individual components than entire assemblies.

I'm fully familiar with the technique, but I also recognize just how specialized it is and how rare it is actually in practice. If you can find a shop that can do this, all the more power to you, but remember you're asking this question on a forum where most users only have access to publicly available tools and software.

Again - the possibility of doing so is irrelevant, because it's time and money that's generally not worth spent. Forensic data recovery is yet another specialized process.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
I can only laugh about such statistics.

"The Qualcomm SPU is a sub-chip embedded in a single-chip standalone device which conforms to the Level 2 requirements for physical security. The device is a single integrated circuit in which the die is embedded in a printed-circuit board (PCB) which provides opaqueness in the visible spectrum. The Qualcomm SPU is contained in a tamper-evident enclosure which deters direct observation, probing, or manipulation and provides evidence of attempts to tamper with or remove the Qualcomm SPU. The Qualcomm SPU is made from production-grade components with a conformal coating that provides protection against environmental or other physical damage."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
What you say is correct if the goal is to repair a device; in this case it is much more convenient to replace it. But here we are dealing with data recovery, a very important and highly sought-after topic in this era, data are far more important than devices.

Ergo, there are many companies that specialize in forensic data recovery, with all the necessary equipment. And the cost for a chip off on a smartphone ranges from about $1000 to $1500.

But as I said in my first question, they just recover the data by inserting the memory chip into a suitable reader.

This is why my question was specifically, if instead of recovering the data in this way, it was possible (I mean technically, beyond costs and specific equipment that I have no problem finding), reassemble the chip on a new smartphone and use this as if it was the old one, working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
OK thank you. So I look at the problem from another point of view: The smartphone fell into the pool and no longer turned on. Some repair centers told me they couldn't fix it. In your experience, can water damage be that irreparable? or have these repair centers simply not been able to? in a nutshell is there any hope of resurrecting the MB?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
the only way to recover data is to repair the phone. this is absolutely possible and I have seen repair centers doing that. they have schematics and measure each component on it's own. there is a colombian forum you can maybe find schematics.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
If you have the money and find someone who has the ability to do it...yes. But as Alecxs pointed out, there's additional problems you'd have to solve to get that flash device or devices to work with the SoC, mainly encryption. The encryption key is unique to each device, so moving the flash devices to a new board wouldn't work.

Honestly, if you are this invested into recovering your data, I think your best bet is to find someone who may be able to get your old device temporarily working, possibly while disassembled on a bench, long enough for you to recover your data so you can transfer it to a new phone. Encryption alone is going to be the biggest issue you'll have to deal with, and the easiest way to defeat it is to get the rest of the system working so that you're able to access the decrypted data "naturally". Most encryption is SHA-256, which for all intents and purposes is unbreakable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
After falling into the pool, the device got very hot and then turned off.

The repair center that kept it the longest told me they tried to get the MB working long enough to recover the data, but it got too hot and gave up so as not to cause any more damage. In the light of these details, do you think it can be recovered?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Unless you disconnected the battery asap it's probably toast. Pull rear cover, disconnect battery, flush liberally with anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, drain off as much of the alcohol as fast as possible in a very warm, very dry room. Allow to dry completely for 2-7 days with a fan on it in a very warm, dry room. Try to power up only then...

You should have use a model with an SD card slot to store all of your critical data. Don't repeat this mistake again.

Destroy a new mobo to try and recover the data?

That's wasteful, nuts and will likely fail without lots of prior practice. The pros don't do this.

A recovery specialist service will hot air the BGA chipset off and use a test socket to try and extract, then decrypt the data. It may be successful. Expect to pay around $800 if it is successful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
I have not disconnected the battery. The next day I took it to the repair center. Could data recovery be successful despite the unique encryption key?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You should have powered down immediately and disconnected the battery asap. Do not attempt to power it up or charge it again.

Take it to a recovery service that specializes in Samsung's. That's the only way to know if the data can be recovered. They can decrypt it probably if they can recover the data intact.

Personally I would have written it off if pulling the battery, drying, etc failed.

Always redundantly backup critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC on a regular basis. At the very minimum use 2 OTG flashsticks for backup. More lessons from the U of Hard Knocks... they tend to sink in and be retained.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
No. As I said at the beginning, if the device is dead, data recovery is nigh impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
It's actually not completely dead, as I said the repair center told me they tried to keep the MB running long enough to make a backup but it got too hot and gave up.. So at least the MB turns on..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
I didn't understand this part
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
University of Hard Knocks. Learning from painful mistakes...like losing your data because your device took a swim
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
Did you tell them your lock screen credentials? Without unlocking, no one can recover data per design, no matter how long the mainboard survives. If service center claim to extract data with chip off method, they are simply scammers. no one can do this (except for secret government backdoors in baseband maybe, qualcomm is american multinational corporation lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Not true. A Samsung owner recently had one hot aired off with full data recovery. I told them it was near hopeless... not. $800 plus an extra $400 with 2 day turn around. That was about 4 months ago... good luck finding that thread. He states the name of the recovery service too.

His was a Note 9 I think. This may have been the recovery service he used, not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
Galaxy S3 with Android 4.4.4 Kitkat and no encryption lol :LOL:

SM-N960F encryption is secure against chip off, can't be true. However, if they manage to boot the phone they can decrypt, because it is running full-disk encryption with default_password.

https://xdaforums.com/t/could-i-use-the-leaked-samsung-platform-key-to-hack-my-own-phone.4537127

But surely it wasn't chip-off. That's impossible per design (see post #7).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You really think they'll give away their bread and butter for free?

There are recovery specialists that can recover encrypted data. Chasing them down may be time consuming. Much like reading through my previous posts to find that thread. Even over a 6 month time frame it will be a daunting taste... ain't I a bastard?🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
Yes of course they had screen unlock credentials.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Guerrerobook:
Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You're likely not going to repair that. BGA chipset contacts aren't easily accessible.

If you really need the data... you got one shot. Let an expert do it. The more under trained people muck with it the less likely the data will be recoverable.
