I have a couple tablets that were setup as Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) for commercial truck drivers. Booting the tablets will only present a data entry screen. and trying to access anything else on the tablet gives the message "Screen is pinned. Unpinning isn't allowed by your organization". I'd like to reset the tablet to be a normal tablet. Does anyone have any info on how to do this?
Tablet model: SM-T377P (with sim for Sprint)
From the recovery screen it appears to be Android 6.0.1
I haven't tried anything at this point as I didn't want to make it any harder to reset the tablet. I don't even know if reversing this setting is possible? The only info I've been able to find was related to creating Android single purpose devices, Kiosk mode with Samsung Knox.
Thanks for any help.
Maybe it's easier to receive an answer in the Samsung Galaxy Tab E Forum?

Has anyone attempted to lock down the Tab? Lock down in terms of limiting application downloads, systems changes etc. I am looking to roll the Tab out to my sales department but I wouldn't trust these guys with potato gun much less this thing. However, the boom to business appears very significant with its addition. I have every practical application that they could need and a bit more on my test model. The problem I think I'll find is when they attempt to add applications to the Tab and possibly brick the thing. Am I hoping for too much or does this seem sensible? Thanks for the help, cheers.
Wouldn't it simply be a case of using adb to rename Vending.apk so the Market is inaccessable (as well as renaming the Samsung Apps application if applicable)? It would be possible to undo it, but it would be very difficult for a novice android user.
You can use "app lock" to put a password on the apps you don't want them to use and you can lock the installer and market with a password.
You don't have to worry about bricking a device from installing an app on the market though, it would take alot more than that to brick the device.
KG4's advice is good, but that would still allow them to transfer items to the SD card and install if they wanted to. Best bet would be to password the installer.
Thanks for the help guys. The next hard part is training the sales department on how to use the thing. It shouldn't be that bad. 'Shouldn't' is the key word here.
Cheers!
Hi all,
Sorry if this is not the right forum, please correct me.
I'm the developer of 3G Watchdog, a popular data monitoring application. For some reason on Galaxy S5 LTE-A phones (SM-G906S, SM-G901F, and possibly others) with Lollipop, 3G Watchdog is unable to count data usage via the usual system traffic statistics files (typically /sys/class/net/interface/statistics/rx_bytes and tx_bytes), or even determine the correct mobile interface name (e.g. rmnet0). AFAIK it does not seem to happen on other variants of S5, so I guess Samsung has done something unusual on these phones.
I can think of a number of possible causes, but I don't have a Galaxy S5 LTE-A at my disposal to test with and find out what's going on exactly, so I do need the help of someone with (preferably) a rooted Galaxy S5 LTE-A, and a file manager (or any way to explore the file sytem, like adb) who would be willing to experiment with me so I can fix this issue.
Thank you very much in advance for any help. In addition to this thread you can contact me directly at [email protected].
Best

Hi i just got my DM98 smartwatch and had a few questions for anybody that has the answers.
1.) I got the watch synced to my phone and i wanted to be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive phone calls, and use the internet.
Question: is there an app or trick to make this possible or am i just S.O.L. ?
2.) I have read that it is possible to create your own clock faces.
Question: Is there a guide that details how to do this?
3.) Question; if i want to do anything do i need to root?
These are all the questions i have at the moment. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The trick is simple - go to the play market and look for notification software with a set of features you want.

The guide is simple - you should write your program. It's the most flexible way. Second option - you can go to the market and look for face designer or similar application. It' limited, of course, but you can try it. Third option - get watch face that you like and go into it's folder. There you'll find some pictures and may be fonts. Now you can delete the pictures and replace them with your own (with same name, of course), then restart your watch face application and you'll see your pictures instead of removed. It's most limited customization, but it's simplest.
Here is one watch face application.

let me clarify a little bit.... i want to do this all through bluetooth. i have tried a bunch of apps and none see my DM98 Smartwatch as a bluetooth headset or anything of the like so i am a little confused with the explanation.

It shouldn't be a headset. It should be something like phone or smartphone with the ability to transfer any data. To connect to DM98 first turn bluetooth on on both devices (DM98 and your phone), next make one of the devices available to connection requests, then the device will advertise itself and second device should see it. When it's seen just touch it and select "pair". Only after this you can start your notification software and use it's communication features.
In short - you should pair devices BEFORE any third party application can do something for you. The pairing is performed using Android's bluetooth settings, no third parties should be involved.

You are talking about communication software. Chinese smart watches usually have just a subset of such functionality. It means you won't get everything pushed. But you can try to look for such software at the market. Search for key words like "notification" "smart watch" and so on.

well if that if the case i have tried many different apps and nothing works so i guess i am s.o.l. and need to return the watch so i can find one that does what i want. i really like this watch though because it is running full android 4.4 with full access to any app in the play store.

With one button can't do hard reset it's not rooted so it doesn't show up when I plug it into computer is there any way to fix this or am I stuck with basically a brick. I really love this device. Can you guys help.
my watch not opening. when i press power button there is nothing happen. what can i do? is there anyway to reset with a button on this watch?
Hi, I have a question, how we do for have the sms on the watch via bluetooth?
Reset
Have you ever tried resetting the smartwatch there's like a small pin hole in the very back of it take something to stick in it the watch will shut off and you just restart the watch back up and that should have fixed the issue
No 1, you can try these aps to enhance your dm98
1. Watch android phone
2. Android control panel
3. Heads up notifications
4. Rotation control
[SOLVED] Still getting used to the tiny keyboard, I had a typo.
I just got the Dev C14 (Bluetooth reports it's actually the DM98) and when I try to log into the Playstore with my existing account, I get past the email and password, but then it says to "Type in the text you see here" with a prompt but I don't see the text. Can anyone help please?
Cannot connect DM98 to Galaxy S8 Active
Hello fellow smartwatch owners. I have the DM98 like the size memory WiFI but cannot get it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. The phone shows the watch and vis a versa, they both are paired, but when they connect the connection is lost right away. Please help if you can

For downloading software use wifi. Start with Google play, etc. Best for installing software is to do it from your computer: just log in to Google Play windows.

Personally I use the much more stable Droid Phone and Droid Watch, on Google Play.
The new Kospet Prime 2 has a fairly impressive set of hardware and is one of the first smartwatches to run Android 10.
Since they don't seem to be open to discussing possible root solutions at a smart watch forum I'm on, I'm asking for any possible help and solutions here. It is an MTK based device with the Octacore Helio P22 MT6762, a Sony 13MP camera, 4GB / 64GB, enough cellular bands to work with most any service in nearly all locations, GPS, bluetooth, Wifi, Google Services and most of the usual amenities.
I understand Android 10 creates difficulties in gaining root but I've heard Magisk may give some amount of root privilege but so far I haven't been able to install it on this device. While I've got a lot of devices rooted this is the first one I own on Android 10. Any thoughts, info or help much appreciated.
Just to add some info I simply get 'Installation failed' when Magisk v8.0.2(307) tries to install beta 21.000.
Magisk log file:
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
!Process error
!Installation failed
Developer options are enabled, OEM bootloader unlocked in developer options, USB debuggin On.
Really? ?
After everything I explained....
Here you are...

Sorry pablo but if you see my message on the watch forum you will see I like the challenge of the Impossible. What is true today can change tomorrow as many here have shown that formerly un-rootable phones got rooted.
And as I mentioned there Apple and nearly everyone said you can’t bypass the iCloud lock. I worked on an iCloud locked iPhone for 5 years on and off spending hundreds of hours on it when everyone said it was impossible to bypass it (except for the phony youtubers just wanting clicks and web sites selling bogus claims to unlock for big $$). After 5 years I finally hit on a method to bypass the iCloud lock. Not one of those phony pay services either. Not the half baked DNS barely working method which created a virtual web based iPhone. My own method. iPhone is fully functional now. This was not a stolen phone. I bought it at the time from a guy who admitted it was iCloud locked and I confirmed it was purchased from a guy who forgot to unlock it and forgot his iCloud password. Unfortunatley at that time I believed all the BS on the Internet that it was easy to unlock. I tried every method from about everyone who claimed they had an unlock method. None worked. It was the challenge of the impossible that kept me working on it. A couple times I was very close to taking it out to a shooting range to put a bullet through it. :laugh: I guess I have an issue with anyone saying I can't do something. I'm not sure my method would
work on all iPhones or all versions but it worked on mine.
Root has been achieved! Thanks to user 'noidremained' and luisreche on the watch forum for letting me know about this. And big thanks and kudos to topjohnwu for achieving this difficult root on Android 10 with Magisk using the 'canary' channel. Still investigating what we can do with this root - may just allow you to snoop around as I believe the system partition cannot be modified further but will update with any news on that.
And thanks to pablo11 and user 'none' on the watch forum we now have TWRP for the Kospet Prime 2 and much thanks for his help and tips. Info here: Root & TWRP for the Kospet Prime 2
Sorry to hijack your thread but was hoping to get your advice. I have a Prime 2 that I've tried to put into developer mode (tap on the Build number and all that). It says it's now in developer mode but there's no developer settings menu item. Just wondering if you experienced the same or if they've updated the build to hide dev options? I'm on D09_KOSPET_PRIME2_V1.5_20201210. Many thanks.

Kospet watches are not CDMA so Verizon is incompatible. Sprint only offers data plans, no talk or text. Watch can not make bluetooth calls. It's a sha.e, it's a beautiful watch.

Not info info. KOSPET will change IMEI but you have to know the frequency network. If you have verizon...its not compatible.
The problem still persists
Hello there... My question might require rooting? Below is a link to what's going on from my channel..
friends already managed to root for the latest version (July/2021)?
Hi,
Was looking on the supported device list for LineageOS, I don't see the Tab A SM-T307U (2020) anywhere.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung
Does anyone know if it ever will be supported? How does one go about requesting support? What is required to support this device? Is it possible? Thanks

I too would LOVE to have LineageOS 18.1 on my SM-T307U. In fact, the reason I picked up a Galaxy Tab S5e was because I could not find any remedy for my SM-T307U. (I'm still happy about the S5e...ecstatic actually...but learned my lesson to check Root and LineageOS device lists first before picking up any new Android device.)
Anyway, it appears that they've locked down the boot loader on SM-T307U, and nobody has figured out a way around it yet. Don't know if they ever will. Best I can do so far is use "PackageDisabler" paid app (google store)to disable/remove all the Samsung Bloatware, and load my Nova Launcher config & Wallpapers.
The more important thing for me (over a working LineageOS build), would even just to have an Android 11 build for the SM-T307U. I have strong doubts we will ever see one from Samsung/ATT (I have the ATT version).
Ok thank you.
I got the tab a for free from a t-mobile promo. I would have done as you did and checked for support first if I actually bought one.
It does however say android 11 in the system info.
Mine is on Android 10 w/ATT. I did not add it to my ATT account (no Sim), so it is WiFi only. Sw update continues to say no update available for OTA. I just did a fac reset today to see if that may spur it, but still no joy.
