Hi everyone. After changing the usb pin of my phone, the touch screen started doing some weirds things. Sliding among desktops is rather laggy. Pressing an icon is not enough to get the app (or whatever) to work, a second attemp is neccesary in any other part of the screen in order to make it happen. The physical buttons seems to be working fine so far.
In further investigations it seems like pressing on the screen is well detected, since i can press an icon and move it around a desktop. But unpressing anything goes undetected.
I see no physical damage on the screen or the flex that connects it to the motherboard. This is not an issue related to any especific rom or kernel since i tried with a couple of them before getting to this point. Is there any app that allows me to monitor what part of the screen is being touch?
Can this be resolved by a firmware update of any kind of just a hardware replacement?
Cheers
Has anyone made an app/mod for Ubuntu Touch that turns of the screen when you close the case (QuickCover im my case) and turn it on when it opens?
The power and volume buttons have stopped working on my Nexus 5, but I really want to use UT on it.
Thanks
No app would be able to do that due to Ubuntu's permissions model. It would require support from the OS.
The digitizer is cracked and phone is acting weird and I want to use OTG mouse.
That's a good question, because my phone screen looks perfect but suddenly started with 'ghost' touches and has become unusable.
If I could disable the screen all together then I'd be able to at least use it as a Kodi/Emulation box under the tv.
Hi. I replaced my broken display (and digitizer) with a new one on my mate 10 pro. So after i replaced it started to detect simple touch as knuckle touch (knuckle touch is a special type of touch with your knuckle on huawei phones that is used for screenshots, split screen and more...) . When i drag or touch screen , sometimes it draws blue lines. So i decided to permanently disable knuckle gestures. And guess what? After i disabled all of them screen didnt work at all. I had to connect usb-to-typec mouse to my phone to activate knuckle gestures again so that screen would work.
What can i do about it? Maybe reset everything and install android pie with different rom, cause i think EMUI is awful. Will it help or its just a hardware issue? I've read that some tehnicians do hard reset after screen replacement, maybe i need too?
P.S. There are 3 knuckle gestures : Split screen ,screenshot and app draw open. If i disable two of these and let one be enabled, then screen works. If i disable all of them screen doesnt respond to touch anymore.
Hello there !
A friend of my wife broke the screen of her S9+ and asked me if I can extract the photos.
The phone does work fine, but the screen and the digitizer are dead.
I'm trying to use the MHL capability (usb c to hdmi + USB to connect a keyboard or mouse) to get access to the phone, but I'm stuck to unlock the screen. I was told that's a pattern lock (I know the pattern) but I can't display it on the external screen, and I can only draw it using a mouse on a black screen... Almost impossible !
Is there a way to bypass the pattern lock to get the pin code, or something to draw the pattern, or a way to show the lock screen on an external screen ? I tested on my own OnePlus 9 Pro, it doesn't display the lock screen neither.
I didn't try recovery, and adb looks disabled...
Thanks for ideas
Thats strange because when I use my (official) DeX dock, I can see my lock screen on the second display and use a keyboard or mouse to unlock a pattern, pin or password. I'm also confused because you say its not displaying on the second screen so how do you know your on the lock screen? Unfortunately, adb won't work until you unlock the phone as you will need to enable developer options and also accept the "fingerprint" before adb connects. Recovery is useless to you if you intend on recovering photos and the whole point of a lock screen is not to be bypassed. Obviously, there are ways because law enforcement can do it but your unlikely to have the equipment or exploits or skills to go down that route.
Thanks for the feedback !
In fact, the Galaxy acts just like my own phone on th external screen : I have a black screen with the date/clock moving around and a padlock. When I test on my phone (that's a biometric finger), I just have to hit the spacebar, it turns my phone screen on (the external screen keeps the same black display), and from my external keyboard, I can type my password, I hit enter, and unlocked.
Here, I am trying the same (I have a password code) but no luck, I'm just stuck on the lock screen. Pretty difficult as I can't monitor what's happening on the Galaxy's screen while I'm trying this. It does react correctly when I hit a key (it does wake up the Galaxy).
As expected, the MHL is not supported in firmware mode (I have lots of troubles going to recovery, I think the volume button was a bit shot too) so I can't see on the screen what I do in it...
That's very frustating as I'm stuck for this pattern.
Is it possible to get a screenshot of the S9+ lock screen, or to see what happens at fresh boot when using a keyboard ? The idea is to make sure I can access the password code screen, or if I can navigate to it with the arrows or a key... If I can access the password screen, I think it will do it (If the password is correct of course...)
Thanks
Use samsung find my device to erase your lockscreen password/pattern. Dex will then automatically launch upon connecting usb c to HDMI adapter depending on your settings. I had done this once before. Worked flawlessly. I eventually replaced the screen though.
Thanks, I'll try this but I don't know if it's enabled. I noted this method, but I was a bit scared to delete the content, as the goal is just to recover her photos. I haven't done anything else on it so far, and I'd like not to change the screen as the part is very expensive and the replacement looks... Erm... crappy ?
Back ! No luck, still waiting to know if there's a Samsung account enabled. I tried again today, no luck. But it looks I'm not passing the "lock" screen (the one with the wallpaper and the date/time). The spacebar may not unlock the device ? I've been trying with a mouse, but I think I'm stuck on that screen and I can't even access the pattern screen.
Maybe trying to find an official Dex dock. Many Chinese version of "usb c to hdmi + USB" won't work well.
