There are various errors on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. One of them is that the smartphone only displays a black screen and no longer responds to inputs via the touch display, or via the buttons.

The solution to this problem is: Soft Reset

Soft Reset is a reboot that has the same effect as removing the battery from the smartphone for a short time, thus interrupting the power supply. Since you cannot remove the battery in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, this means that the soft reset is the only solution to fix a mistake like the black screen.

And this is how the Soft Reset on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is made:

• Press and hold the power on / off button on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for about 12 seconds

After the time expires, the smartphone will automatically restart.

This tip always helps, even if the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 does not respond to input otherwise.

You now know what to do if the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 stops responding to input and the screen shows only a black image.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has many different sensors integrated, including the magnetic sensor, which is important for the compass function. Now you may find that the compass app, which is located in the sidebar in the "Quick Tools" for example, shows you the wrong direction.

If that is the case with you, then you should definitely calibrate the compass. This works on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 as follows:

We recommend calibrating using Samsung's secret service menu. Here's the best way to see if the calibration works because there is an indicator:

From the Home screen, open the Phone app and the keypad.

Now enter the following code: *#0*#

This will now open the test menu of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Click here on the tile with "Sensor" and then scroll down in the next menu. You now see an entry with "Magnetic Sensor" and below it a circle with a line and a number behind it. This has the following meaning:

• Red line with a 0 = The compass sensor must be calibrated
• Blue line with a 3 = The magnetic sensor is calibrated.

Now to calibrate the compass, rotate the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 once around all its three axes. Do this until the circle shows a blue line and a 3.

Only then your compass is calibrated. Any compass app that now accesses the magnetic sensor on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 should now show the correct direction. So you have successfully performed the calibration of the magnetic compass on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

If it does not work, the calibration will be done outdoors in the open air, where the least amount of disturbances will may influence the calibration.

If you have bought the Samsung Galaxy S8 and now want to make a backup of a special app from your old Android smartphone, then of course, the content that you have stored in it should also be transferred.

However, this does not work with the conventional method. That would mean apps with scores or other data you maintained would simply reset to zero and your data would be lost. So that does not happen, we have here a fitting tip for you, how to save the app data also and transfer from an old Android smartphone to the Samsung Galaxy S8.

Importing your data from apps works with the free Google Play Store app "Helium Backup"

You have to download this app first. Here is the official link to the Google Play Store:

• Helium Backup

In addition to this app, you still need the software on the PC, where the data is cached. These are available from the official "Github" homepage.

Saving the App Settings and Data with Helium Backup

Now you can start:

If you have both programs installed, connect your old Android smartphone to the computer. Launch helium on the old Android smartphone and the helium software on the PC. Now navigate to Menu -> Helium on your Android smartphone and open the app.

This will prompt you to enable the USB debugging mode. Activate the USB debugging mode. You will now be connected to the computer, confirm the query of your computer with "ok". Now you're connected to your PC and you can start backing up your apps data.

You can now use the "Backup" tab in Helium on your Android smartphone to select the apps whose data or scores, entries, etc. are to be saved. Put a check in the checkbox behind every app to be backed up, such as Clever-Fueling. Once you have made your selection, select "Save".

A query for the location appears. Select "Internal memory" here! Tap "Ok" and the backup starts. A message with "Apps fully backed up" will appear on the display of your old Android smartphone. Finished!

You have now successfully backed up all app data from your old Android smartphone. Now open the internal memory of your smartphone via your PC and copy the folder "Carbon" to the desktop of your PC. Now connect your Samsung Galaxy S8 to the PC and then copy the file "Carbon" (your newly created backup of the game data) to the top level of your internal memory.

Now open again helium backup on the PC and then on the Samsung Galaxy S8. Again, USB debugging must be enabled! You can now tap "Restore" and select the apps that you want to transfer to the Samsung Galaxy S8. Done!

Now you have successfully transferred all of your app data from an old smartphone to the new Samsung Galaxy S8.

If you would like to use an adapter for USB devices on your Android smartphone via the Micro USB or the USB Type C port in order to access USB sticks, external USB cameras, memory etc., then you will need OTG for this.

OTG stands for "On the Go" and is a standard for plugging in and using USB devices on micro USB ports.

Unfortunately, not all Android smartphones support USB OTG and therefore you should check whether your smartphone supports this:

There are the following useful app in the Google Play Store:

• USB OTG Check

If you have this installed on your Android smartphone, then this opens and leads you through the OTG test. If this is positive and your device is compatible, then you can connect USB sticks etc. to the Micro USB port of your Android smartphone.

If OTG is not supported, then this nice option is unfortunately denied you.

You now know how to check if OTG devices can be connected to the Android smartphone.

You may have heard of the so-called secure mode in connection with your Android smartphone from the Samsung Galaxy series, but you cannot imagine anything specific about it.

This is not a problem, because we would like to briefly explain to you here what the safe mode of a Samsung Galaxy smartphone with Android is all about.

Explanation:

If the safe mode is activated, then at system startup only the Android system itself is loaded with the apps, which are factory-integrated in the firmware. This means that third-party apps and widgets from the Google Play Store cannot be loaded into the interface and will not run.

Advantage:

The advantage is that possible errors that originate from a third-party app can be bypassed in this way. So it creates a test environment, which loads only the most necessary data of the Android system.

If the system is running fine in Safe Mode, but not in Normal Mode, then it is most likely due to an app or third-party widget. You must now locate this app. It helps to think about which app has been installed in the past.

A wipe cache partition can also help here.

Activate Safe Mode:

Switch off the Samsung Galaxy completely. Press and hold the following keys:

• Power Button
• Volume Down

The volume down key must be pressed until the Galaxy smartphone has completely booted the Android OS. The power button can be released after the start. Once Android is loaded, you will see a note in the bottom left corner:

"Safe Mode" - This means that it is now active. You now know what the Safe Mode is for on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, what advantages it offers and how to activate it in Android.
