I like the compass, inclinometer, etc. tools from the Edge panel. However, I don't want to have the Edge panel constantly hovering around the screen. Is there a way to open these tools by clicking on an icon in my home screen? Or am I basically stuck with external apps for compass and the other tools?
SamsungParts now offers Samsung genuine parts, tools, and self-guided repair manuals. Official Samsung repair guides can be downloaded when you add a Samsung genuine part to your SamsungParts shopping cart.
Self-Repair is for owners of supported Samsung products. Unaffiliated repair businesses seeking parts, tools and documentation in order to provide repair services for customers should visit following websites.
When your phone and watch are connected, you can use the Galaxy Wearable app to regularly check for updates. Or, if you initially set up your watch without a phone, you can apply updates from the watch itself.
Because it uses the WearOS from Google, updating apps on the watch is slightly different. You will need to do it from the Play Store. Remember, the models can't be set up without a phone, but you can still edit some of its settings when the watch is disconnected from the Galaxy Wearable app.
On earlier models of the watch, such as the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active, you need to set up the watch without a phone in order to update the apps using this method. If the watch is connected to a phone, these instructions will not work.
Sorry for the late answer.
No, there is no plan.
I've been away from ubuntu for a while now.
Is samsung-tools of any use yet? I think a lot of things have changed, and most of the functionalities provided by samsung-tools would need a complete revisit.
Also, since my old crappy Samsung netbook is almost dead, I really have no interest in keeping this work on. Right now the only useful functionality from samsung-tools in my opinion is the keybindings, which is of a limited use anyway since any good modern desktop environment already provides bindings for wifi toggling, bluetooth toggling etc.
I am using a Samsung 300-e5a laptop and the only way wifi and fan control fuction keys work is via installing Samsung-tools on it.
Since the new version is 16.04 , I am unable to install Samsung tools for 16.04. Old packages for oneiric and thrusty don't work either.
People like me and a lot of other people are counting on this project to use their Samsung laptops in Ubuntu.
Is there any way linux on my samsung project could continue elsewhere given the fact that Voria is not interested in
continuing development of samsung-tools for 16.04. Could someone else carry on this project and compile code for 16.04?
Thank you very much for the samsung-tools 16.04 version.
I installed it and it works like a charm.
We, people who use opensource software are thankful for your efforts and support that you put into projects like this one.
Big respect.

Thank you! I spent quite a while fiddling about with a tablet I bought used, trying kernel options like acpi_backlight=vendor and so on. For whatever reason installing the xenial version of the tools package is what finally made /sys/class/backlight/samsung appear and as such enable the backlight brightness control. For reference (and so that search engines find this page for anyone else looking), the model is Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro XE700T1C
Hi, Voria! Also look at here -- mystic-mirage/+recipe/samsung-tools-mm for example of auto build from git repo. It can dramatically save your time. I recommend using more plain versions in debian/changelog for auto build -- like 2.3.2-1. Just remove tilda-staring parts. Place them in auto build recipe.
First of all, you should use Samsung Tools from official PPA -- ppa:voria/ppa
Second, ensure if samsung-tools-preferences can be launched without any problem.
Third, check if Samsung Tools is enabled in session autostart.
If all seems fine, run /usr/share/samsung-tools/session-service.py in terminal and check if there is no tracebacks appeared.
Have you connected the Samsung SSD to the first of the available AMD SATA ports?
If yes, I doubt, that anyone except Samsung is able to solve your Samsung Magician problem.
By the way: TRIM is not working while running Windows XP. Why is it so importatn for you to be able to run the Samsung tool Magician with both Operating Systems? Maybe you are overestimating the benefit of the tool.

Fernando

Hi Fernando
Yes the Samsung is connected to the 0 SATA port, and I know that TRIM only works on Windows 7 and 8 only. How you said: I am overestimating the benfit of the tool.
Thanks

I am attempting to install an Android app on my brand new Nexus 10. I have a .apk file. I have downloaded the Android SDK, installed "Android SDK Tools", "Android SDK Platform-tools", and Google USB Driver. I have checked the setting on my Nexus 10 for "Unknown Sources".
Go to the phone and switch on USB Debugging in the Developer section of your phone. Notice that an additional item appears as an undefined device now in the device manager list, it will have the yellow exclamation mark and it may have the same name of the phone listed as you saw under Portable Devices. Ignore this item for the moment. Now, without doing anything to the phone (it should be already in USB debug mode) go back to the Portable Devices in Device Manager and right-click the BLU STUDIO 5.5 S or whatever phone you are working with that is listed there without the exclamation mark (listed under Portable Devices). Right click on the icon under Portable Devices, in this example the name that appears is BLU STUDIO 5.5 S. On that icon select Properties, Details, and under the pull down, select Hardware IDs and copy down what you see.
For Windows 10, had to manually download the latest platform SDK tools from Android as the version supplied through Visual Studio 2017 EMDK for Xamarin was not sufficient. Everything else except adb.exe devices worked.
With the launch of the Note20, Samsung introduced wireless DeX, which allows DeX to be used without a cable on Smart TVs featuring Miracast, as long as both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
For individuals, DeX is a great way to work more flexibly. Instead of booting up your laptop to catch up on work at home, just connect your phone or tablet to a monitor and get straight to work. You can run up to five apps at once and easily complete most tasks without hassle.
Even businesses that still rely on legacy Windows apps without mobile or web versions should consider using DeX. You can leverage a virtual desktop app, like VMware, Citrix or Amazon WorkSpaces, to access a full Windows desktop within DeX.
Remember where you keep your SIM ejector tool? You know, those little metal things you occasionally get with a new phone? No, me neither, but don't despair. Fortunately for you and me, I've MacGyvered my way into the SIM card tray and microSD card slot many a time. Here are a few handy ways to open the SIM card slot without a SIM tool.
The right tool for the job might be closer than you think, as in on your body. Traditional earrings with thinner wires or hooks work best. On others, you might need to unscrew the ball/spike on the end. More extreme piercings might be too large to serve as SIM tray openers. (Be careful not to bend your earrings!)
A safety pin is something that is very ubiquitous and found in nearly every household. Thanks to its sharp, pointed edge, it makes for a great sim tool. The fact that its design allows for more force to be (safely) exerted makes me think the safety pin is a better sim ejector tool than needles.
Samsung has a cool security feature built into One UI that has an interesting side effect, one that lets you have two separate copies of any Android app on your Galaxy phone. And that's not the only integrated Samsung tool for cloning apps.
This way is more useful if you're going to install apps in your Secure Folder only without another copy outside the folder. If you ever need a clone, you can install the same app from the Play Store or Galaxy Store outside of the sandboxed environment.

Galaxy is by default connected to the Main Tool Shed. However you can optionally connect to other custom Tool Sheds by modifying the config/tool_sheds_conf.xml file in the Galaxy directory. There are few more Tool Sheds worldwide but the Galaxy Team maintains two: Main Tool Shed and Test Tool Shed. By default, the Main Tool Shed is already configured in Galaxy and we recommend using it.
Finally, we can confirm our dependencies installation (if any) and choose the panel section we want to show the repository's tools in. If you keep the settings as is, the shown dependencies will be handled automatically either by Conda or Tool Shed package recipes. To learn more you can visit documentation about dependency resolution and Conda.
