Enable tethering blindly

My SGN display was broken including the LCD, hence i'm not able to see anything. I'd like to access and control the device from my PC, what is the best app for this?
My main goal right now is to enable tethering. The touch still works, so i'm confident it can be done.
In the interim, could someone take screenshots of each step from the home screen to enable tethering and post them for me?
I'm going to try and enable it blindly.
Thanks in advance.
The device is a N7000 running stock ICS.

I had a similar problem...

I won't say it's easy but if you are on a Samsung based ROM you might have a chance. (Obviously you'll need to buy a MHL cable though.)
Alternatively, if you've got USB Debugging turned on then you might be able to use Droid Explorer which includes a remote control add-on.

Yes, mhl cable +hdmi is the best chance

I read it before, he suggest to use your tv as your diplay.

I don't have one of those cables right now, and i really need to enable tethering. Could someone please post the screen shots? I don't think it will be that hard, i just need to see the position of the options on the screen

Hit Home
Swipe to Unlock
Hit Menu
Hit approx 1cm above menu button (You're now in Settings)
Hit roughly the middle of the screen (on the left hand side - its just easier on the side) "More"
Hit approximately 1cm down from the middle of the screen - "Tethering....."
Press approximately 1 inch down from the Samsung logo.. - "USB Tethering"
Good luck...

Thanks a million.
Haven't gotten it done yet, but i feel much closer.
Trying to get to settings from swiping down from the top of the screen as i'm not familiar with the other method.

Assuming you have swipe to Unlock
Just lock the screen with the power button - Press power button again then;
Swipe anywhere to unlock
and then press the Menu key..
The Settings option is about 1 cm or so above the Menu key

Lol, i just figured out what the menu key is. I must admit it wasn't a key i used alot.
Something else i just found out, the bottom 1/4 of the screen, touch doesn't work.
I'm starting to lose hope of getting this done.
Could you swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification screen, there is a settings link there, thats where i'm use to getting to the settings from. I think with a screen shot of that i'll be able to get it done.

Got it done. Found a pic on the internet of the screen i was talking about. Would still like a proper pic. :good:

Any chance you have AirDroid installed? It has a live view (screenshot) in pc browser ability built in, it can help if you don't have an MHL adapter.
If not, force an install from accessing play store from pc.

If thats so, i'm out of luck :crying:

Now that i clicked install on play store and see it saying installed, i'm wondering if the problem is that it won't be installed or it won't be started

It is installed. Just start the app, then go to
Code:
http://(INSERT PHONE IP HERE):8888/
with your pc browser. Then work the magic from there!
EDIT: hm, you might need to set a password, dont know how easily it is to do this blindly... Anyways, worth a try!

Galaxy Note 5- Any way To Disable Air Command?

Any way to disable Air Command?
So in a bunch of the art softwares for Android, you can use the S Pen's button and assign it to undo, or flip the canvas, or whatever you want. So I set it to undo, which is immensely useful. Problem is, every time I hit the button, the stupid Air Command menu comes up which I have to click out of. I have tried ending the service but it starts back up immediately, and since you can't root the Note 5 on Verizon AFAIK, I can't find a way to disable the service completely. On previous Notes, wasn't there a way to turn this off? I need to make it so that hitting the button on the S Pen does nothing. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried the General S pen settings?

I managed to turn off my air command and it is off I'm not sure if your carrier has anything to do with it. I am able to disable the S pen features air command ect but I like them so I enabled them once again

I only have two options: I can disable the persistence of the Air Command icon on the screen, and I can choose whether removing the S Pen triggers it, but there is no option to turn Air Command off.

Hello,
I'm having the same issue, I use a few art apps that utilize the S pen button to toggle undo or eraser... I was bummed that I couldn't find any setting to turn air command off.. how could it be, it was possible in previous note models and tablets.
anyone, is there a way to disable air command in Note 5?

You could install package disabled pro from the playstore. It allows you to disable any app you want, even system apps.

scroll capture option is missing

Hi
I have got my new note 5 few days ago and enjoying it. However, the scroll capture option is missing. I tried in different apps and websites but it is not there. Someone asked the same question and he said it was fixed by clearing catch without further info. I cleared catch and data for both air comand and screen write but it is still missing. Any help is appreciated. Ss attached

Are you using package disabler pro? You may have disabled something you needed for that to work. Try reenabling everything to see if that fixes it.

Are you at the bottom of the page when you did the screen shot?

It only works if you use the screen write option with the S Pen. A regular screenshot doesn't do the scroll capture thing.

thanks guys for trying to help. I cleared cache and data for both air command and screen write and restarted my phone and now scroll capture is there

Can you please explain me how you got your scroll capture back? I didnt understand this "air command,screen write".

Can't activate Device Administrator

I've been trying to install AdHell 2, but to do so I need to enable Device Administrator for it. However, when I go to do this and press the "activate" button, it just does nothing. Doesn't respond in any way.
Out of curiosity I went into Settings > Lock screen & security > Other security settings > Device administrators, to see if I could enable it for any other apps, and I couldn't.
So, what's preventing me from enabling this?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem in my S7 Edge, I guess it has to do something with the firmware version we are using.
If someone finds a solution I will appreciate it

It was actually a theming app that was preventing me from pressing it, for whatever reason. I disabled my apps one by one until I found the one causing it.

Cannot activate accessibility services

I have this problem that when I want to activate an accessibility service, I get a pop up message that says if there is an overlapping app blocking the options I should drag it away or close the app, as in the screenshot attached. I have no idea what is causing this but I have not been able to activate any accessibility services since upgrading to MIUI version 10.2. The device is rooted with magisk. Any help will be appreciated to get this sorted out. I get the Pop-Up each time I tap ok.

Turn off full screen gestures, this is blocking the Accessibility settings.
After you have enabled the Accessibility stuff, I believe you can turn on full screen gestures again.

You're welcome.
Actually I had the same problem in Februari on my Mi Note 2 (I have a Mix1 also, they are very closely related as to firmware).
After trying everything I could think of, and nothing helped, I sat back and thought "what else draws over other apps"?
Bingo! Gestures.
And it worked.
