[Q] Help with a problem - General Questions and Answers

My daughters Huawei Ideos U8150 has a cracked screen, you can not unlock the screen because the crack is right in the middle of where you slide the unlocker.
So the phone although can be used to receive calls, can not be accessed via the screen.
She has also managed to somehow set it to not unlock the screen when receiving a call(no idea how she did this).
So I have 0 access to the phone.
I have a program Lock_2.0.apk but can not just install it with ADB because her phone of course is NOT in development mode.
In the custom AmonRA recovery, I can enable USB, and ADB will see the phone as "recovery".
But if I try to install the app that turns off the screen unloocker it says "/sbin/sh: pm: not found".
All I need to do is install that app to remove the screen locker and the phone is useable again.
Any idea how to get it into development mode with adb? Or some other way?
Thanks.

Sorry to dissapoint you, I don't know. But I want to know how's the the phone? I want one to give it to a friend, is it good?
You can buy a used phone on ebay, i saw them cheap.

Screen is broken has a crack but its still useable im not buying her another one she has to learn to take care of her stuff.
But this problem is ridiculous its the screen lock that's causing the problem because you can still use the phone if it wasn't for screen lock.
There must be some way to install the no lock program.

Well, you can try to install a VNC server and access it via WiFi. Or you can try to make a factory reset... it will reset the lockscreen
And if you still interested:

Wifi is not turned on either
The only thing I have to do is install that un lock program and it will be fine but this is easier said than done.

Well, you can try, in recovery, to push the no lock apk to the folder /system/app and reboot... may be you can be lucky enough

a simple way would be just to get the screen replaced however you could refer to http://www.xda-developers.com/android/locked-out-learn-to-crack-the-android-pattern-lock/ to help get rid of lockscreen

Dude. Don't bring dead threads back to life. This hasn't had any posting in a year - how the hell do people even find these threads to resurrect? Reported.

Generally we very much appreciate users helping each other with questions, but not when the thread hasn't had any activity in around a year. That means the person's question has either long since been answered, or they've moved on to another device, etc, etc. Thread closed.

Noob Here

Hey guy, I got a galaxy s blaze recently and just rooted it today. I came across the problem of my home screen showing through my lock screen, no matter what type of unlocking method I use- whether it be passcode, the normal swipe to unlock, or the patter, it always shows through. It worked fine before, but I booted into CWM recovery on accident and when I rebooted to get out, it was like this. The pictures should help you guys understand what I'm talking about if you don't already. Please use noob friendly language, because I am a noob (although I hate to admit it...). Thanks for the help (first post by the way)
I believe there us a setting under display that allows you to use a picture for the unlock screen

I had the exact same problem until I went into the options and chose to use my wallpaper as my lockscreen image.
Thanks, I figured it out. Also, does anybody know how to make it so then when you lock the phone is requires you to slide to unlock and then prompts you to put in the passcode/pattern?

I believe that requires a change in the frameworks but not sure

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
This happens after you fix permissions, if it happens again just change to a new wallpaper/ lock screen wallpaper and it will be fine.

[Q] wtf? dialer keys

Just purchased a stock HTC One S and I cant seem to get the dialer keys (7) and (0) to work. Once on the voice mailbox it wont press key 7 to erase, or the 0 when inputing an area code per sei. Also, it seems that certain area of the touch screen is not responsive while trying to select options on the setting panes. Has anyone come across this? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Yes I already did a thorough research but wasn't able to come up with much. Thanks

hm, maybe try a factory reset and clean the display.
if it still doesn't work I would suggest you to get your one s replaced.

it doesn't make sense rooting your phone to solve the problem if the display is broken.
its like, trying to replace your monitor by installing an update
but you can install the recent suitable RUU for your mobile from footballs thread and if the problem still apears your display is definetly broken

I guess i'll do a search on a RUU and how it might be pertinent.

STOP don't do anything. If your phone has a hardware defect you don't want to void your warranty by unlocking the bootloader. Contact HTC or whoever sold you the phone and try to get a replacement.

Is it just the dialer or does that part of the touch screen not work anywhere else? If the actual touch sensors work elsewhere (IE: homescreen, keyboard, etc...) it is NOT a hardware problem. It is a software issue. Make sure you have the latest update installed (different versions based on carriers/countries). If the issue persists (again, if it is NOT a touch sensor problem) go ahead and root it or install a custom ROM.
EDIT: I must have skipped that sentence in your post. You obviously have a touch sensor problem. Go ahead and request a new device (if possible, depending where you bought it) or send it in to HTC. You can figure that one out on your own; we're adults here...

[Q] [CM 10.2] Why does this version allow me to mount USB with phone locked?

Seems like a security flaw. Anyone can pick up my phone, plug it into a USB port and copy files within seconds. Normally, you'd have to at least have to reboot into recovery, which requires a forced reboot and knowing the proper keys to do that and to enter recovery. As it stands now, even a child could plug in my phone and access the entire SD card.
It's also annoying that if I plug in the phone to my PC to charge while I'm listening to music on it, I don't get the lock screen where I have music controls. I instead get the USB mounting screen. I just have to press the Home key to show the lock screen, but it's been bugging me.
Is there any way to disable this? It wasn't this way in CM 10.1.
Go back to an earlier version of Android, or don't lose your phone.

Your useless answer is unappreciated. I asked two simple questions and you answered neither.
The fact is you can't disable it. The answers I gave are perfectly valid if you don't want want the ability to mount the sd card via the lockscreen. If you're allowing your phone to get into a position where someone can access it like that then what I'm saying is maybe you need to reassess the level of personal security in regards to the device.

>The fact is you can't disable it.
Now that is an appropriate answer. Thank you.
The main topic question was "why?" Why this change in behavior? What's the philosophy behind it?
I'm sorry but I don't know why they changed it like that.
Sent from my Evita
I remember CM9 behaving like this in certain versions, but then it went away, and I never had it in any CM10 versions until now. It's like the developers can't decide how they want it, or it's some sort of mistake or bug.
It isn't the fault of developers here, I believe you can thank Google for that feature.
Sent from my Evita
If you want it to not be like that, go and decompile some file and change the permissions.
Speaking of Google, I'm excited for the new Selinux policy from the NSA researcher. It'll be fun to see ChainFire at it

Screen is dead, however it connects to PC

The screen of my OnePlus One is ****ed after some water went inside it.
The buttons work however the screen is completely blank.
It connects to PC and I can see all my files intact.
What should I do?
Is there a tool that can let me see my phone's screen on my PC? Please help.
I'm a noob at this.

If your phone gets wet never turn it on. Leave it in a bowl full of rice first and then after it dries it should boot up fine.

I dried it in bowl of rice for two days, used a blow dryer for hours too.
The software is fine, but hardware is ****ed. No solution except to get it repaired probably.
@nix01
hum..
I can think of 3 methods.
1. Use a HDMI Connection & OTG USB Mouse
2. Use [Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!
3. Use adb to install apps which lets you remote control your phone
I think you can use airdroid to get a live view of your phones screen on your pc, although you need to install the app on the phone first which may be impossible without the screen working

Although Airdroid can be installed from the play store (website). But it'll require the phone to be rooted. Moreover you won't be able to grant root access to the newly installed app if your screen isn't working, unless SuperSu is set to grant all permissions

Did you forgot about the in app Login part ?
I also forgot about the things needed to be done on the phone before it can be used. It needs setting up and that's not possible if you cant use the screen.
I hope you can at least get some kind of backup off the phone

Honor 6x BLN-24-cannot press "allow" for any app.

When an app asks for permissions, Allow and Deny options show up (regardless if for storage, or camera, etc.) but the allow button does not work. Deny works fine. So far i have unlocked the bootloader via Huawei website method (i guess you call that official) and flashed twrp. I have not rooted the phone yet (getting to that, but one problem at a time) and this is the first one.
I also saw someone else ask, but with now answer. Is there a way to get rid of the splash scren about the phone being unlocked and not trustable, press power button again to boot?
Do you have an special theme activated? Use the standard theme and try again
My 1st question to you is... when the window prompts, do you flag the option "don't ask to me again" or not? Because if yes, the only option avalaible becomes the "deny" one. This mechanism confused me too some time ago, when i wasn't understanding why it was blacked out; Android takes your flag as an "what a bore, just shut up and go **** ya' self leavin' me alone" answer, so it automatically deactivate the possibility to let it pass even one more time. If you didn't checked the flag, i have another question for you. Did you maybe recently made an update OTA, or with an update package found online? If the 2nd answer is what u've done, do a check for being sure that you have updated the phone with the correct package model. (BLN-21, BLN-22, ecc.) If neither this is your case, begin to tell us something more 'bout your phone configuration and start to think to backup your data and do a factory reset for eliminate this weird issue.
For the question of yours about the Nag screen (the splash one, for being clear) at the moment there is nothing that we can do to avoid it to pop out; just skip it pressing immediately the power button, is the best advice that i can do so far
I'll attempt to answer all these at once since I just got home from work. I wouldn't believe rooting the phone would cause this issue, but the problem happened before i unlocked the bootloader so I think that rules that out. I do not use a special theme, but I do use squarehome launcher for my phone, not the standard android launcher. Problem there is, the problem occurs with either launcher being active. And theme wise, I have a 3-d live aquarium for a background (which if turned off and just a static wallpaper, the same behavior occurs). As far as the phone update goes, it was an OTA update from 6 to 7, so still using stock, nothing sideloaded or flashed (yet). My data is all backed up via My backup pro, and doing a full backup with TWRP onto OTG is not a problem. I prefer not throwing in the towel, since setting up squarehome perfectly is a pain in the ass, but if it has to happen, it is better than manually setting permissions for every app that needs them. Not sure what a screenshot would do, think of any app asking for permission to use phone storage, both the allow button and the deny button visible (in white, nothing grey) and allow doesn't respond where deny responds fine. and then i have to go in manually and grant the permission after the fact. I suppose I could just root my phone and give that a whirl, seems some bloatware needs to be removed anyway, and i have the SU sitting on my hard drive already. Thanx for the responses, and let me know what you may have come up with before I just factory reset it which as mentioned, I am dreading doing.

Hi, so you have unlocked bootloader but not rooted? This is maybe problem, you need to have rooted phone if you have unlocked bootloader for fully using phone. Can you post some screeshots?

Well, I didn't think that would be the answer, but you, sir were right. I rooted my phone and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I don't believe I made any other change whatsoever. Thank you very much. Glad I tried it anyway as you suggested even though I didn't think it would be the answer. I am not above saying thank you, and I was wrong. Kudos. Maybe this will help someone else. Good thing is, I planned on rooting it anyway, and you just kicked me in the pants to do it.
Rooted but allow button is still not activated
Hello guys,
I wanted to activate app twin so I rooted my phone BLN-L21 android 7.0
Allow button still deactivated.
Also the boot screen that asks to press power button still exist.
I noticed that if I activate whatsapp twin it won't work simultaneously .
I.e : when you open whatsapp you get all missed calles & messeges.
Also I was able to download themes through themes app ,but now it just views the local themes.
Note: superSu is installed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Well, I think this is not related to OP (or at least partially), but when unlocking bootloader after setting up SD card as the default storage can break some things, like default themes.
Try to restore your firmware, and then unlock the bootloader.
If successful, you can now set up SD card as default storage.
