    I have a Samsung Note 8, Android 9. After spending some time unsuccessfully trying to follow your instructions to make the "sensors off (and on)" option available, I am concluding that option is not available on my phone. I did not hear you mention what version of Android or Samsung phone was necessary to use your tip. In the future, would you just give us broad details like that? I'd appreciate it!
    I have watched your videos ever since I got my first Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and have learned a lot from you! Thanks very much!!

    @sergiof4726 4 года назад +8

    Saki, FYI
    When you turn off all tracking sensors in your smartphone you are also deactivating the Bluetooth hand-free sensor in your microphone, thus while tracking sensors are turned off, outside callers will not be able to hear what you talk to them while using a Bluetooth headset. So for those who use Bluetooth hand-free headsets to answer calls can be affected. This happened to me while using a Plantronics Bluetooth hands-free headset.....

      The thing is, that actually forces sensor data to be unreadable by apps and other software. Camera app won't work, snapchat can't get an image and cpu-z(diagnostic tool) won't be able to read ANY sensor data. It actually works.

    • @myron7642
      @myron7642 4 года назад +1

      Without hardware control, this is still better than not being able to turn the sensors off at all. This also works at the OS level, so it is not useless. However, the use case for this is extremely limited, since if you're someone who will ever need this feature, you'd probably be using a phone with hardware switches.

    You could still be tracked, to all those thinking this takes you "off the grid"..
    Only way of going anonymous device wise, is to get rid of your "smartphone" altogether.
    And from what I've read, it's possible other features such as your microphone, camera, touchscreen, etc etc stop operating properly.
    Once you've disabled it than goes to enable it, so be mindful.
    I wouldn't suggest bothering these options, if you aren't versed on how to make them work once they've stopped.

    2:49 On my S10+, the camera app initially loads (probably because I use Nova Launcher), but the screen is all black. The only problem: After turning off "Sensor off", the auto rotate takes a little bit of time to reenable.

    Once you turn on "sensors off" in developers options, you can't turn it back off from there. It has to be turned off in the quick panel. Everything should work again.

      @@ElTuco Phones don't have a geopolitical compass - a phone is a phone is a phone. If your mobile is turned on, even if it's locked and even if it's someplace where there's nothing to feasibly track, like the inside of a pocket, it's constantly seeking for new cell phone tower signals and, in doing so, advertises your position. No matter if you're using a Pixel, an Xperia or an iPhone. Turning your cell phone off kills its seeking ability, but then you can't make calls seeing as you aren't hooked to a network.
      For a mobile phone to work as intended, it *has* to track, log and broadcast your position to a signal-provider; or else you'd have to pull the "mobile" out of "mobile phone". That's without mentioning how searching for a non-Chinese phone is a futile effort - even iPhones contain parts that are sources across the greater Asian subcontinent. The whole "Huawei is spying on us with their 5G towers!" nonsense isn't really born out of security concerns, it's more of a nationalistic outreach by the US government to maintain the relative independence of its data infrastructure. Even then, it sugar-coats the fact that Washington might've kicked Huawei out of the American infrastructure, it doesn't change the fact that most cell phone towers depend on components that globalization sources for us.
      By and large, cutting off service providers won't keep your data safe. What will is working with an ISP and mobile provider that values your privacy as a customer, and that won't blow a gasket if you, say, occasionally use a VPN. Besides, I'd only ever recommend going Incognito for personal reasons, ranging from sessions with your online bank to, erm, quality time spent on one's lonesome, if you catch my drift.
      Everything else can be carried out in the open relatively safely. Now, if privacy *really* grinds your gears, then your best option would be to nuke all of your Social Media presences, or use aliases.
