I got the Smart Dock, but it puts stuff in portrait mode on monitor. I have Ultimate Rotation Control app. But what I want to do is have the device itself on its side. So I can use the touch screen on the Note 2 when I want to. Hard doing that when looking at the device's context (on the Note 2 screen) on its side. I will use both USB mouse and keyboard. But still want to use touch screen from time to time. My Monitor is 1080p, but not touch screen.
I am looking into USB Micro-B Male/Female Extension/adapter (5 pin). I would what is the best cable out there to use. Is the Micro USB on the Smart Dock 5 pin or the MHL 11 pin? if 11 pin should I try to find a MHL Male/Female Extension/adapter? Does should a thing exist? If the micro USB on the Smart Dock is 5 pin, is there a Samsung special micro UBS pin layout? If so then how to get around the pin layout issue?
Basically I want to put the extension into the Smart Dock, put my Note 2 sideways (to work with touch screen on Note 2, w/o creating side neck issues), and plugin the other end of the extension to the Note 2.
Side note: what keyboard and mouse did you use with Smart Dock?

Hi JaguarXT,
I know this post was about a month ago, but I thought I would check in to see if you were able to get this issue resolved. Like you, I am interested in a similar setup as you. I have the smart dock and the galaxy note 2, but I have mine in a Otterbox defender case, and for obvious reasons I have to take my n2 out of the case in order for it to work with the dock. Just wondering if you found some cables/adapters that worked in your setup.
Thanks in advance,
Statustray
Bump,
Do you think this would be what you where looking for?

Yep, definitely what you want.
From the backorder set to September,
Looks like you aren't the only one.

It's 11 pin connector they used. The thing sends 2 way mhl, 2 way otg, 2 channels audio and has ground, sense and power pins too. So no way to have only 5 pins as you can see.
Hello all,
so my brother threw down his phone. Now it has big crack on the back and a light one on the display.
Despite this display looks ok, but only the upper half reacts to touch ...
So the idea is now to do some backups and then sent it in for repair.
The phone is stuck at the lock screen and cannot be unlocked because the number are in the lower half of the screen.
My first idea is to enable the "Glove modus" (Settings -> Display -> Enable Gloves) and maybe the display will still react to pressure touch... (?)
However how can I enable this modus, is it possible via adb and how?
Any help appreciated, cheers
PS:
The phone is rooted, btw.

What do you mean, exactly?
Maybe he meant to plug a mouse using an OTG cable. I haven't tried myself so i can't vouch for the method
He's right. Buy any cheap USB OTG adapter and plug any USB mouse (even wireless) to Your phone. Tested and working.
Thanks, USB OTG adapter did the trick.
hi ,
i have a htc one m7 that is not recognized by pc when it is in bootloader mode, however the phone doesn't charge properly when i plug it in the current because the cable moves when it is plugged.
if i use a micro usb with not long exit, it charges well, if i use a cable with big exit, it moves easily and it often doesn't charge.
the second problem is:
the highest part of the screen doesn't recognize the touch, to use that part i have to press strongly and using the entire finger or a big part of it (if i use the extremity of the finger, it doesn't work ), AND the highest point of the screen ( status bar) doesn't work NEVER.
How to fix micro usb?
How to fix screen problem (i think that is a software problem)
i have not original charging cable
i have just tried to do make electro-shocks to the screen but it doesn't work

If your usb port is damaged you can replaced it. Removing the cover of the phone is a little tricky but once done, the usb board is easily replaced.
You can test your touchscreen by lauching the diagnostic menu by dialing *#*#3424#*#* form there you can access the line drawing test. Test your screen and if some inputs are not registered then your digitizer is probably faulty and will need to be replaced.
I bought a USB graphics tablet (Huion HS64) that's compatible with Android 6 and above. Problem is that when I connect it, there's no pointer on the phone indicating where it is I'm about to tap. Touch works perfectly fine, but the "invisible mouse" problem is annoying.
Is there any way I can display the same pointer that comes up when I connect a USB mouse to the S10? Or perhaps a similar icon or dot via overlay? I'd be fine with it always being on if that's easier than having the phone recognize the tablet as a mouse.
My device isn't rooted, but I'm not opposed to it if it solves the problem. Thanks in advance!

I think there's a misunderstanding. It's the S10 that I want the cursor on, the tablet itself doesn't have a display. I'll edit the title and desc to be more clear.
Edit - Welp, I guess I'll just edit the description
Invisible Cursor
Hi!
The same thing happens with the Samsung S7 Edge, S8 and S10+, but with the Note 9 the cursor is visible.
I tried other brands and models and the cursor is visible. (Ex. Huawei Y6 )
I hope we find a solution.

Yep. I contacted Samsung support but got the "well, we don't support graphics tablets" speech, so brick wall there. Emailed Huion and they asked me to check my OTG and pointer settings and to contact Samsung support. I just replied that I did those things and that others were having the same problem so we'll see if we get any progress on that. In the meantime we'll just have to wait until someone decides to code something up for us muggles.
Speaking of code, and I'm no expert so grain of salt and all that, I've got a few theroies:
Option 1: Force cursor visibility always
The cursor DOES pop up when a mouse is plugged in, therefore by changing some variables, we should be able to force the cursor to always be on (root likely required). I know that the phone tracks pointer location when you hover the pen over the tablet because, when plugging in both a mouse and the tablet to the phone, one can see the cursor moving. Unfortunately, the cursor only appears when the mouse is wiggled and disappears once the pen moves the cursor (so basically we get a cursor that flashes in and out really fast). On top of that, we can't click and drag while the cursor is doing the flashy thing.
Option 2: Edit device recognition
This, I imagine, would be a lot more work, but it would offer a nice quality of life feature. If we could get the phone to recognize the tablet as a connected mouse, the cursor should appear when we plug it in and disappear when disconnected. I'm not sure, however, that drawing tablets send the same type of data as mice do so the phone may not be able to interpret it regardless.
Option 3: An overlay app that tracks pointer location
While this would need to be made from scratch, I think it the most straightforward approach. An apk that puts a symbol over wherever the pointer location rests! Just enable it to draw over other apps and voila, instant cursor. This would require that the phone monitor cursor data without the stock cursor being on, though.
But yeah, until either something gets coded up, Samsung gives us an update, or Huion gets their stuff together, we're kinda stuck. If you're dead set on using the tablet regardless, the best I've been able to do is mark off the boundaries of "phone mode" with a pencil on the tablet, put a dot in the center, download a "crosshair" overlay app, and position the crosshair so that it lines up with the drawn dot on the tablet. Then you should have a point of reference for where you're about to tap! Scuffed? Absolutely. Functional? You bet.
Still haven't found the solution? The same problem occurs on Galaxy S7.

Nope, nothing so far. Huion emailed me back saying that "the problem is weird" and that they'll get back to me "once our technicians figure out the problem". So we're pretty dead in the water without a nice piece of code.
Force Cursor/ pointer display in huion hs64 on samsung phones
Im here to ask if the problem was fix regarding the cursor pointer ? Im planning to buy this huion hs64 and currently using Samsung Galaxy A50
Nope......I tried using the hs64 on my A50 and still no cursor
Hi there! Something new? For some reason Samsung S series phones have a lock. Why the Note series works perfectly.

Same, Huion H640p and a Samsung J7 Neo, No Cursor but the tablet works
Ok I know the OP was about a huion tablet, i currently have a wacom and the issue is with s10+ for some reason the tablet doesnt show up as a cursor though if I plug a mouse in it does, anyone any closer to resolve it?
I got the XP-Pen Deco Pro tablet
Actually the tablet itself ain't the problem but the device that you're using. I'm also a Samsung fanatics and sadly they are the only android device that do not support graphic features such as drawing tablet and so. However the tablet perfectly works in other android devices that has cursor enabled.
My problem on my android drawing tablet XP-Pen Deco Pro ( xp-pen.com/product/432.html ) is actually the same... cursor. As far as I know ver. 6.0 and above has cursor support in accessibility menu but the tablet isn't compatible to use as the mouse because enabling cursor from accessibility provides touchpad on the screen which is basically annoying. So if you'd like to use the drawing tablet, use it in a different device... you'll see that the problem is not the drawing tablet but the device you're using.
!!! Solution !!!

It's funny that we took it this long to figure out. Thanks to the great rookie from stack exchange,
Open Settings --> About phone/tab --> Reset --> "Settings Reset".
Let the device restart. Now, be careful. Plug in OTG dongle only first. Then plug in the tab. Don't rush.
Point the stylus in the phone area. You will see a 1mm sized circle.
If it doesn't work, do an accessibility reset. And finally, the device reset. Samsung just wanted us to buy their S6 and S4 tabs instead of graphics tab. That's probably why there is this hustle.
You are welcome.
Thank you note

Worked for S20 FE.
Would be great if it would work in dex.
My S10 fell out of my hands the other day and the bottom half of the screen is broken. The top half of the screen is somewhat visible. I'd like to get all the data/pictures off of the phone.
What is the best way to do this? I can't get it unlocked because I have no idea if touch is still working on the bottom half, so I can't really get it into USB Transfer mode. I'd like to avoid going to the local phone fixer.
Thanks for your help.
Maybe you can try to connect it to a USB-C Monitor, some have built in hubs to which you can connect a mouse and then control the phone like that. I know that not everyone has a USB-C Monitor but maybe you can find one at work or something. Hope that helps you.
