Hit the home button 3 times to off universal switch mode
I tried pressing the home button, but it is not working for me. Maybe the nova launcher intercepts the home button. Ahhh.. I don't want to format my phone. I also tried rebooting it, now I am locked out of my phone..
Update: I found the solution. Just use an OTG and Connect a mouse to disable the feature..
I had the same issue @Keitri
tried all solution like soft rest and run it in safe mode, and run recovery mode and wipe cache partition but no success
could you help me inn the problem and explain how did you overcome the issue?
thanks

Sorry for the late reply. Just connect a usb mouse using the OTG cable. From there you can disable the universal switch.
it works with OTG cable + mouse

Hello,
My screen suddenly does not work anymore.
It certainly is a hardware problem because I can start, shutdown (I hear the sounds and it vibrates normally) and access through USB.
How can I wipe before sending to RMA without seeing anything on the screen ?
Thanks for helping.
Laurent
You probably can't. Unless.... search for fast boot. You can probably hit the right combination of buttons to hard wipe it.

Thanks.
Currently trying to do this.
Hard.
Any other good idea is welcome.

Edit : Done. Difficult to do this blindly.

If it's the screen and not electronics, you probably could have used the HDMI out to a TV...using the TV as a replacement screen.
The other option would have been the "factory reset" function...using a combination of the volume buttons and the power button....I think that would have wiped all data off the device.
what are you trying to wipe? if it boots up but screen doesnt work you can attach to your pc and use adb to pull data and wipe out personal data, if you are rooted then you can also get in and remove applications then use vipermod exe to remove root
Thank you guys.
I was trying to wipe out all data before sending for RMA.
I managed to mimick the "volume buttons" procedure. Had to try numerous time as it is not easy when blind.
Your ideas are good and I will remember if there is ever a next time.
Good day.

you may also want to try the reset button on the left hand side near the micro sd card slot to restore to factory settings.

This just reboots .. pretty sure it doesnt format ..
Mic hole is on the top of the device, reset is on the side.

My screen went out and I did the HDMI out to the tv and did a factoy reset before I sent it in .
Hello,
About two months ago I factory resetted and fully recharged my Acer Liquid MT.
Didn't use it for quite a while, but recently I wanted to but apparently the battery was empty meanwhile.
Charged it for hours but it didn't go on anymore (tried most basic stuff: changing battery, reset button etc)
Didn't show 'any sign of life' however. No screen, no sound, nothing at all.
Yesterday I did hold the Power Button and both Volume Buttons for a few seconds and it quickly vibrated a few times + one (normal) vibrate afterwards.
I think it isn't completely bricked since it did vibrate.
However, how am I going to be able to get this thing working again?
Many thanks in advance!
PS: Rooted, no custom ROM.
Edit
Forgot to mention, but my PC doesn't detect the phone anymore when connected to USB ...
i'm sorry...
it sounds your phone is bricked... i don't know how u could fix it

There is a liquid metal forum on modaco.com, maybe you should look there. If it was working before, maybe it fell down once or got some hardware fault? 3 vibrations were SD download mode AFAIK

No help from there really ...
Well it didn't fell down, it was fully charged & working, until I tried it later on
Ok, keep device manager opened, connect phone and power on with all the key combo's mentioned here and tell me what happens in device manager: what device is popping up etc.

Thanks for your interest in my problem.
The phone doesn't respond to any of the commands anymore.
Also, what do you mean with 'device manager' exactly?

It needs good charging as the battery has drained completely and will take time , may be couple of days. If it doesn't fix the problem then take it to a mobile shop and ask them to power charge it. It will fix the problem. I had the same issue with this phone...
I hope it helps...

Or just hit the Windows Key (next to Alt by the Spacebar) + the letter R together then type : devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
When the Device Manager is open and you plug in the device, you should see it blink out for a sec and reload and show you the device - probably will see a yellow warning symbol next to it - if so that means the PC sees it, just not loading the correct driver.
Hello everyone,
I dont know if there is anyone who can help me out, as I've seen quite a few posts about this subject already.. but none worked for me.
What happened: Last night when I set my alarm I got an update from Nokia and I accepted the install, when the phone rebooted it was spinning gyros and then the sad face.
What I've tried: Hard Reset(Volume Down + Power + Camera), Soft Reset(Volume Down + Power) - tried a few tricks where I had to connect the phone to my PC but I had no luck there as my phone does not seem to want to make contact with my pc.
I've made a small video where I demonstrated the resets and all. notice the weird line at ~0.12. Here an image. This is not just on the film it happens pretty often.

Use Nokia Care Suite recovery option. It'll re-flash the latest ROM for your phone.

But I cant seem to be able to make contact with my PC, it can only charge up, when its "charged"(minimum) it gets back to the spinning gears :/
Or I just dont understand how to connect it or something.. just the regular way right? MiniUSB to USB port?

Hi everyone...
Some days ago, i was trying, OmniROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544790). I follow all the steps and even get the superSU app going. One night, y saw how my nightly got updated, and in the morning, start to reboot randomly. If I push the power botton sometimes, doesn´t appear the blockscreen but the screen with the reboot option and turn off appear...
I put my cellphone back to stock with root using SuperOneClick from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081. Then, I format my sd card and internal storage...The problem persist...
I would like that someone help me, I'm tryin everything and didn't solve it...
Based on your description, it sounds like a hardware issue -more specifically, a failing power button.
I have read that some users were able to fix the issue by disassembling the phone and spraying out the switch with contact cleaner, and I have read that others had the power switch replaced altogether.
Hopefully others will chime-in with their thoughts.

I had to replace my power button. this is a known issue with the s2.
I recommend this guy's services: http://stores.ebay.com/t989-refurb -- he can do the i777 even though it's not listed. He's a very nice guy and will do a fine job.

Hello Everyone
I have a small issue with my S6 basically what it is that the Recent apps and back button do the same thing open Recent apps. I have a look online everyone says its a software issue but i done everything Hard, Soft, Factory reset and still same. So now I know that its not software it will be the hardware. Maybe any one know witch part of the phone is responsible for the back button functions and would I be able to replace it? Without replacing the phone?
I tried to replace the one of the boards of the phone( the one that has charging port headphone jack and sothing else) but that didn't help. I cant get phone in for the warranty do to i have voided KNOX .
So any ideas would help.
Thank you all
:good:
Acutally this is software. There is a file in the system that controls what those buttons to. You can try and flash your firmware via odin to see if that fixes the issue.

I have tryed that several times did not help. Everything same
You cold try remapping the buttons with the all in one gestures app.
I have tryed remap dose not help do to i tooks like that back button thinks that it is a recent apps button
Root your device use xposed and gravity box maybe fix.
If still problem use custom kernel like arter97.

Same problem here!
Back button thinks is recent apps , sometimes work sometimes not , think is an software bug or something.
The problem started after android 6 update.
Downgrade to 5.1.1 dont make a difference.
Some ideas to solve that?
I'm having the exact same issue with mine. Have a solution yet? Cleared cache, checked safe mode and factory reset. Same issue.

Mine was different. Back button was working but recent button suddenly not working. But i already change my front glass and after few days those button failed to operate. Now stuck using onscreen float button.
Hi, I have the same problem with te back key. What solved problem for me was installing the app called ,, all in one gestures'' ( free on the market),
in the app, go to the ,, hard keys'' , enable de the app from te accesability tab, at the back key tab select single tap and select the ,, back '' from the submenu.
Hope works for you guys !
