How to Disable ICS bugfix/bugreport?

Hi, everyone. I always accidentally press my NS' power + volume up buttons, which activates the bugfix/bugreport email window.
Is there any way to safely disable this feature?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to ask, but what? You mean you press them when powering up the phone? If not, could you post a screenshot?

Yes, I accidentally press them when powering on or off my NS. Try holding the power and volume up buttons. Your NS will vibrate and bring up your default email app and compose a bugfix/bugreport email for you.

Exactly what I am searching online for. I always get the sharing options appear out of nowhere and only realise that it is trying to send a bug report.
After some extended searching, I finally knew how it was activated. By pressing Volume up + Volume down + power button, you will feel a vibration after a second or so, that's when the bug reporting initiated.

However, I have no idea how to disable it. It become very annoying especially when waking up the phone from sleep and you find that your device is lagging because of the bug report generation.
Any help?

Turn off USB debugging.

The solution that I've found, without turning off USB debugging, is renaming the file "bugmailer.sh" (to something like "bugmailer.sh-backup"), which is found in /system/bin.
P.S. For me, I need USB debugging turned on, because it is required by Titanium Backup, which I often use. If you don't need USB debugging turned on all the time, you could just turn it off, like Uni7 posted, and it'll also solve this issue.

You shouldn't need USB debugging for TB on any new rom. From official FAQ:
40. Why does Titanium Backup demand that the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) be enabled? I don't develop on my phone and don't want this.
The only reason is that on some ROMs, earlier versions of Superuser (the app that grants root privileges) didn't work properly if ADB (USB debugging) was disabled. This is why I added the warning at startup.
Nowadays, on most ROMs you can leave USB debugging disabled in your phone settings and also disable that warning in Titanium Backup. The option is: MENU -> Preferences -> "Warn if no USB debug".

Same here on my Galaxy Nexus...anyone eager to help us out?

I have the same problem. HELP

This is a manual bug report triggered by pressing both volume keys and the power button at the same time. It will vibrate once when you do it and then it takes a good minute or two for it to compile the report. The phone will then vibrate 3 times quickly when the report is ready, but only if the phone is awake and unlocked. So, for example, if you hit the power button to check the time and happen to press all three buttons or your TPU case (just an example) is holding down your volume buttons, then it will trigger then. You won't actually see the results until the next time you unlock the device. They are addressed to your default email address unless your ROM developer adds an email to them. Obviously being stock this would not be the case.
If you want to get rid of this feature, go to /system/bin and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak or delete it. Then reboot and no more bugmailer.

I should add that in addition to the way mentioned above that will completely disable it, disabling USB debugging should also disable it in 4.0.4.

1. dropped top bar (where the setting icon)
2. Where the developer setting is (scroll to bottom end)
3. position where is usb debugging (if possible, without scroll)
4. any message if usb debugging is enable
Long version:
My Atrix2 dropped from 1 meter and the screen cracked.
The screen is not showing anything now except some vertical lines.
i can see it shows some touches dot (i always enable show touches).
i managed to patterned unlock it and enabled tethering to get online after numerous of tries.
i need to access some info from the phone and all i need is to enable usb debugging to get some apps to work.
i dont have HDMI cable to connect it to TV.
i opt for not to restart it in fastboot to flash some ADB setting (if i failed, i may not get tethering to work again)
so, could some one pls help me with above 4 screenshots?
regards
Lesson learn: Always enable this setting

finally got this worked
Hi,
An update.
i managed to enable usb debugging by capturing some screenshots (press and hold power+volume down key).
i have photos sync to facebook enabled. Thus, i can see these images.
i resized these images at monitor and guessed where should i touch.

Hardware Button defect - How to turn on Z5 w/o Buttons?

Hey there, I've got a question regarding my broken Sony Z5 and hope you can help me...
A few days ago I accidentally dropped my Z5 on the floor, so back and front glasses both cracked. The Display itself seems to be OK (since it didn't show any failures and the phone was still on and working). Just the Touch functions of the display were not working, meaning I wasn't able to use it anymore.
Since I'd like to get off the data from the phone I remembered I had such a problem with an iPhone 4 some time ago. So to put in my PIN and read it out with my PC I plugged an Lightning to USB adapter in it, and a USB keyboard from a computer. This worked out just fine, I put in my PIN and I was able to rescue my data.
Now I had the same idea with my broken Z5, and connected an USB OTG adapter with a computer keyboard. ...but it didn't work. Wether with a keyboard nor with a USB Mouse (since Android has Mouse support mostly).
After a short search on the web I had to realize the Z5 has USB OTG only after authorizing new devices in the menu.
or, ...as an alternative solution, to start the phone with the desired USB device already connected.
...so I did what seems to be my biggest mistake now: I pushed the reset button in the SIM card tray and hoped I would be able to operate it by mouse after a restart.
...but sadly, I had to realize the Hardware Buttons do not work anymore...
So, ...actually there is no way for me to switch the phone back on and boot.
Of course it will react if I plug the loading cable in it, and it will boot to the loading screen with that green battery.
Does anyone know any way to switch the phone on, without having to touch the buttons?
Perhaps is it possible by a special command/program using a computer?
Or is there an equivalent button on a hardware USB keyboard which acts as the power button or volume rocker?
(so I would be able to boot to the recovery screen instead of the battery-screen. I've read that it's possible to restart the phone from there...?)
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance,
best regards

First of all, are you rooted? Do you have USB Debugging on? If so, you can go for fastboot reboot without the need of powr key. Just plug it in while holding volume up key, type in your terminal or whatever you are using "adb devices", should show your device attached, then type "fastboot reboot" and it should reboot into system. Of course you'll need abd drivers for this.
You said the screen is working but the touch screen is not working?
Edit: Nvm, I tried on my device, you don't even need to have USB Debugging enabled.
With your device powered off, hold volume up key while you plug it in to your computer. A blue led should appear now. Go into your terminal, type adb devices, then fastboot reboot.
Edit 2: wait my bad, i read it wrong, neither your power botton or your volume buttons are working. Wops. that's a problem.
I actually have one solution for you, but only hoping you have USB Debugging and Root on your phone.
Alright, with adb on your computer: type "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" and hit enter, then "reboot download", hit enter. Now the device should reboot to Flashmode, blue led should appear and screen should be black. Now you can run the command "fastboot reboot" to get into your system.
Hope it helped.. it's kinda tricky. I don't know other ways with no root

Broken screen, with constant phantom touches preventing everything

My phone's screen was broken, so the touch sensor (capacitive) sensing constant phantom touches, which prevents to do anything with it, even with mouse connected on OTG.
I can't connect on ADB, as once i've allowed my PC to always connect to it, yet asks for a confirmation at every connect, which i can't grant, as if i unlock the phone with fingerprint, the phantom fingers instantly tap the dialog away.
I can connect with fastboot, but it's useless.
My next idea is to disconnect the screen ribbon cable (xiaomi "engineers" were so smart that the display and the digitizer are on same cable... which is weird, as redmi 7 had seperate cables and this redmi note 7 have one), and buy an MHL type-c -> HDMI-OTG adapter, and connect it to TV, and the mouse, then i can access my files... however i doubt that it will work
Any tips how to hack it or something? I'm thinking about that it maybe possible to electronically disable, or "burn out" the touch sensor without disconnecting the screen ribbon. Is that possible? Perhaps the cleaning of screen would kill the phantom?

Any help?

I would like to help you but never had to deal with such a problem.
But let's try:
1. What do you want to achieve? Do you want to backup your data?
2. The phantom touches are instantly and do not stop?
3. Don't know if that works, but... Is the mouse connected to OTG always on the same place? Like does it appear on a fix default position on your screen every time you plug it in or does it remember its last position (or is it random)?
If you know that you could maybe try to detach the display and use the mouse to enable your adb connection constantly. And if that works you could use scrcpy (screencopy. Find it on github) to show your devices display on your computer without having to use your real smartphone display.

Its a quite common problem, however the most people just buy a new phone, and dump the broken one.
I want to backup one application's data particularly, yes.
Phantom touches are constant, always at the menu buttons.
I cant connect otg mouse and to adb at the same time... 1 usb only.
Why cant i just authrnticate myself through adb?

I don't know. What exactly happens if you try that?
You connect your phone with your computer and run some adb command (e.g. "adb devices") and then it asks you to authenticate, right?
And then?
Another question which I think you'll answer with "no": Did you unlock your bootloader?

I just cant do it, and didnt fide any help for it on google.
If i connect it, and list the adb devices, i see "unauthorized" and a dialog pops up on the phone to allow adb connection, but as soon as i unlock the phone the dialog goes away as the phantom touching the menu buttons...
No, the bootloader is not unlocked, else if would be able to save with twrp. I can unlock it with fastboot, but it does a factory reset on unlock...

I have another idea. If you refer to the menu buttons you refer to the home, back buttons right? If your phone support it (and phantom touches allow it) you can go to setting -> System -> Gestures -> System navigation -> gesture navigation. Then click on the setting next to "gesture navigation" and turn of navigation hint.
Whatever those phantom touches are touch now – it won't be any of those menu buttons since they disappeared.
Now, hopefully adb authorization works.

As i wrote, i cant do anything on UI, as the phantom always touch back to the menu, or to the photo app, which i cant even pull out from quick access due to the phantom.

Having a ghost touch issue, it's probably not a problem with the software, but it's a hardware problem with your display and the way it's housed inside the chassis of your phone. If you're an engineer and happy taking electronic devices apart ( and have all the required specialty tools ), then you might fix the issue by simply disconnecting the screen from its data connectors for a while and then reseating the screen.

Question Stuck in recovery mode PLEASE HELP

I thought this would be a good place to ask this.
A few minutes ago, I accidently pressed the volume up and down buttons for a long time on my zflip 3 and it booted into the recovery menu. Now this normally wouldn't be a problem.. if my power button wasn't dented in.
I refused to fix it due to the sheer cost of the fix and could turn my display off by double tapping. However, this means that I have no way to exit recovery mode. I tried using ADB on both my bac and pc (using usb 2.0, 3.0, and c on my pc and c/thunderbolt ports on mac).
My phone however would not connect of show up under devices, and I am suspecting it is because I have done something to the debugging settings. I let the battery run out and it would just boot back into the recovery interface once charged up. It even once went to a light blue screen that said something along the lines of how a custom os can cause major problems.
I am a noob at phone stuff and I really don't know what to do. I have a bunch of photos of my grandma who passed away last year and they aren't backed up to google cloud. I really need any help I can get. Thank you.

Hi, provided that you have already
- enabled adb debugging;
- installed adb.
Now you have to
1. enter fastboot mode;
2. in adb type
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
then, reinstall recovery if you want to.
