screen broken, trying to get control [SOLVED] - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
my screen is broken (half lower part of screen is no sensitive responding)
I have tried a full restore but this don't work,
so now I have a full clean phone with the first install screen and no usb debug. (and screen don't want to rotate at this time)
I have acces to adb only under TWRP.
I would like to use this phone as 4G router.
I have done this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
but still not managed adb working on booted phone.
any idea ?

If it's only the touchscreen which is no longer functioning on the lower half of your screen (and the full display is still functioning) then the easy solution is to connect a mouse or a USB touchpad to your phone. I have done this several times when I have dropped phones and damaged the touch screen. If you are going to use a regular mouse, then you will only need an adaptor to allow your mouse's USB socket to plug into a 'micro USB to USB' cable. I didn't need this, as I already had a USB touchpad which uses a micro-USB socket.

I have just tried to connect my USB keyboard and touchpad for the first time with my Z5 compact. Unlike with my Z3 compact, they didn't work straight away. However, you can get them working like this: (1) Settings>Device connection>USB Connectivity (2) plug in your device (3) Click on 'detect USB device.' This will take up to a minute. You will get a message saying 'USB Connected.' Then you can use your mouse/keyboard/whatever. Hopefully, your broken touchscreen will not prevent you from doing the above!

I can't because I'm on the first install screen and don't even have the rolling menu.
I put a old usb connect and boot with usb bluetooth mouth plug in (so plug in it before boot)
and I get a cursor !
so I had put usb debug, instal some air droid apk, and a tethering apk on the upper on my screen !
thanks all

[Q] can i use my NT while usb is plugged in

Hi,
i have a NT , when i plug in the cable to my pc it shows he usual USB mode.
is there anyway to have it in usb mode but be able to use the tablet at the same time ? in other words get rid of the damn pop up and let me use it while its in usb and charging mode ?
thanks
you could try disabling automount... maybe the USB window is triggered when the SD is mounted for computer use.
That is absolutely correct. If you don't know where to find automount, it is accessible through the nt hidden settings app.
ive also been seeing a weird issue , ive done that in the past , but when my tablet is connected to power / computer usb cable to any power source my touch screen is funky , when im on the lock screen i can do stuff , i can pull the bar over to almost get it to unlock but when and if it does its funky , i just kicked it out off of auto mount and i have what i want except touch screen is not actually working , if i unplug it from the cable the screen works ,
any ideas ?
You could also try "ejecting" the device. That might put it in charge state and allow you to continue using the device.

I haven't noticed the "funky" screen on my NT, but have experienced it on smartphones in the past and it was associated with a noisy charger. Try using different chargers and see if the problem gets better or worse.
ah yes you have a valid point i have two NT's one for me and one for my gf hers blew a charger and we had to have B&N replace the usb port receptacle already , had it less than three weeks. I will try it with her usb cable and see what i get as they changed the whole assembly and if it does not occur with her new cable i will get them to exchange it before the 1st ..

Phone only works with the Samsung USB Cable?

I cannot seem to get the phone to identify on the PC with anything but the Samsung USB cable.
The problem is... I think I already lost it.
I have 4 basically new microUSB cables from various sources and none of them will do anything but charge.
WTheck has samsung done?
Did you try changing the mode on your phone from Change Only to the Hard Drive one once you connect it?
Try a different USB port. This phone works on every USB cable I have in my possession.
i find mine charges really slow unless i use the samsung one:/

Because the phone only charges it does not adapt a mode and therefore wont' let me change it.
edit: fixed it. Problem was I used a program to try and turn on UMS mode and it wasn't working. Wouldn't do any other mode until I turned it back.
But I still have had problems usb cables. The one with my Nook for example wont work at all and it worked with both my nook and my atrix.
S3 wont even recognize on a mac.
surprize me with something amazing android your boring me.
Mine works with the Sensation cable on my main PC, my G2X cable on my laptop and with my Lumia cable in my gym (charger). It also works fine at work with a generic cable (on a PC). Either your phone or your cable is defective.
EDIT: make sure your drivers are up to date on your PC.
Mine works fine with BlackBerry/HTC/HP cables.

PC not recognizing the tablet at all when I plug it in? Anyone seen this?

Hi!
So basically I can charge the tablet with no issue but when I connect it to my pc (or the one at work) it suddenly is no longer being detected (no USB plug in sound).
At home I was able to make it work but it would seem that moving the cable a bit will make it go off so somehow the cable must be bad I think even though physically outside it looks great.
Could that be it?

its very plausible that you could have a bad usb wire. if you wiggle it and get a connection very likely turns to 100% sure. There are different wires for charging and data within the cable. no connection when you plug it via dock either? (just want to rule out on board connector)
I will have to test on the dock but when it connected yesterday, I tried moving the plug around the table area to see if it was there and it never disconnected yet moving from the USB side connected to the PC made it disconnect so it makes it sound like a bad cable for sure...and hopefully

[Q] USB is broken?

On my TF201, about an hour ago, my USB connection to it just dropped. No loose connections, brand-new cable. I had thought it was just a bug in my USB drivers, so I quickly unplugged/replugged the device. No connection. I rebooted both devices at least 2 times, and still no luck. I figured that I might be able to determine what's wrong by connecting the cord to the wall plug. It charged just fine. after that, I assumed that it was the computer's USB port, so I plugged my phone into the same port. Was able to get adb connected to my phone, no issues. My question is, How could I determine what the issue is, without RMA'ing it or resetting it?
(Also wondering if me connecting a flash drive to the keyboard dock with it showing up for a split second then going away is any indication of anything, I'm just going to assume the worst and say the USB is shot)
I have the same problem bro. I don't know what to do I am be very pissed. I read somewhere on xda a guy had a problem with his epic and took a qtip with alcohol and cleaned the contacts and it worked. I will try this tomorrow and get back to you. I have tried other pc but nothing works and I hate not having root and I add-on considering selling my prime just because of this
Kinda have it working, in the sense that the USB cable, when connected, will make the device show up in Device Manager as an "Unknown Device", but much past that, I'm not sure. I don't have the device near me right now, I will on Monday, but once I can, I will try the alcohol trick, it worked for my phone, and the keyboard dock. (BTW, I did blow into the USB port, and now the devices attached show up for 45 minutes - 1 hour before they disappear, and also, when connecting an SD card into the dock, it shows up, but on the case that the micro SD is not connected in the device (Dunno if it does this normally or what)

USB OTG in Place?

Does anyone know if it's possible to access the PX5's OTG USB using one of the existing external USB connections (without having to pull the head unit apart)? I'm trying to get a USB connection for ADB and came across this on the wiki:
Bootloader mode
Holding the power button while turning on the unit will get you into bootloader mode. **This is battery power not acc power** The screen will be black but plugging in a usb to the front usb will prompt the PC to install the RockChip bootloader drivers - this might help http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/11...install-rockchip-usb-drivers-in-windows-xp78/

I noticed on the MTCD schematic that the MCU has pins for CTL_RECOVERY and CTL_WAKEUP, which leads me to believe it might be possible to program the PX5 in place using some sort key combination. I tried the wiki instructions, but can't get the PX5 get picked up at all on the USB connection.
It depends on the hardware - Some GS might as the original GS has the hardware configuration and switch correctly implemented, which some GS users have reported. Others manufacturer units might not, ostensibly because they messed up the implementation (e.g. my JY or Joying).
Give it try, put device into recovery mode and connect usb port to PC.
Teh crickets!
Oops, pardon the late response. I've given it a try and the manufacturer even sent a special cable (purple connector instead of the white), but I'm unable to get the PC to detect anything on the USB port. Doesn't even try to enumerate a device on Windows.
If it helps, this is a KLD device.
