Procedure to mirror a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) with a broken display on a Smart TV

 In these days I received a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) with a broken display from my cousin and she wanted me to recover his photos. The photos were in the internal memory, the debug on usb was not activated and the cost of a new display wasn't convenient so I invented something to try to recover the data. 

The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) SM-A750FN doesn't have the mhl to project it to a tv with the HDMI so the only chance for me was to project the display to a Smart TV using the Samsung Smart View tecnology.

First I tried to activate it directly but it result really hard so in the second place I decided to activate Talkback from the settings menu and after to try to activate Smart View.

The procedure for activate Talkback in a SM-A750FN with Android 10 is this:

1. Connect a keyboard to the smartphone

2. Double Enter

3. If there is a pin insert it and push enter

4. Escape X 2 times to be sure to be at the Home screen

5. ALT+A

6. Up

7. Enter

8. Type: Settings

9. Enter (and after wait 3 or 4 seconds)

10. Under

11. Enter

12. Under (long pressure for 5 seconds)

13. Up X 3 times (4 times if you have dev options on)

14. Enter

15. Under

16. Enter

17. Under

18. Enter

19. Tab X 2 times

20. Enter

At this point you should definitely heard the voice of the Samsung Talkback helping you to move on the system without seeing the display. If it don't happened try it again many times and wait one seconds moving to a step from another.

Now we can pass to activate the screen mirroring to the samsung Smart TV with the help of Talkback.

The procedure for activate Smart View in a SM-A750FN with Android 10 is this (there are many ways to activate it but we need the one that we can do with only a keyboard in a completely broken display): 

1. Be sure to have a keyboard connected to the smartphone

2. Double Enter

3. If there is a pin insert it and push enter

4. Escape X 2 times to be sure to be at the Home screen

5. ALT+A

6. Up

7. Enter

8. Type: Smart View

9. Enter (and after wait 3 or 4 seconds)

10. Under X 3 times

11. TAB X 5 times (and after wait at least 5 seconds)

12. Enter

13. Under

14. Enter

15. Under

16. Enter

Now if anything goes well you should be connected to your smart tv (I tried with two different Samsung smart tv and it always worked. If you have problem follow the voice of the talkback to understand what are you doing and where you are in the system. Don't be discouraged if it don't work at the first three or four times, keep tring it since last.

Now that you are connected to the TV be sure to remove the PIN (if you have one) and to activate the developer option by clicking ot pressing Enter 7 time in the build version.

Here I leave to you some useful shortcut by keyboard working on the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) SM-A750FN:

WIN+N short notification dropdown

WIN+Q notification dropdown

WIN+? shortcut display

WIN+D home screen

WIN+V show volume bar

I advice you that other smartphone can have more shortcut by keyboard. For example I tried the WIN+Y on a Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy A40 and it opened directly the Smart View menu but this shortcut doesn't work on the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. Another option worked on this Android 11 smartphones was WIN+U that opened directly the Accessibility menu but it doesn't work on the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 too.
