Hello everyone,
dropped my phone on Friday, didn't have a single scratch. But the screen didn't turn on, just had first a weird green line on top of the screen.
Brought it to a repair shop, they said the screen is burned and has to be changed.
First the positive things:
- phone is still running (LED, vibration, finger sensor, etc.)
- has internet access (could yesterday use WhatsApp Web)
I didn't backup all of my pictures, a few apps, screenshots etc. So Best solution for me would still be to have a functioning screen. The local repair store checks if the screen is available and how much it would cost.
Do you know what else I could do? I mean the phone is 2 1/2 years old, so I could also replace it, but I want to backup all of my apps and files.
I already checked adb, the device is listed but "unauthorized".
What options do I have?
Thank you and best regards
If the digitizer (touch) works, do what I recommended here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/broken-amoled-digitizer-data-recovery-t4160245
If it doesn't, you're going to need a USB splitter to connect both your phone to your PC and a mouse to your phone in order to confirm the adb authorization dialog (or at least that's the only idea I have at the moment). And a lot of luck to click where you're supposed to click. But yeah, it might work.
Ah, he has the exactly same problem
I like the idea with scrcpy, that would fit my needs to backup everything and then I can take a new phone. The problem at the moment is that I seem to be unable to press the button to authorize the phone.
I didn't get the idea with the USB splitter? You mean to connect a screen and a mouse to the phone? I tried with a USB-C portable screen, that didn't work. Is this possible with a splitter?

Using the splitter for simultaneous mouse and PC connection is exactly what I meant (the one in the picture is absolutely fine), albeit if your screen is completely dead, and the digitizer is broken (or so it seems), it's going to be really hard to click in the right place, I think.
As for the portable screen, OP6 doesn't support video output via USB-C AFAIK, so that's why you didn't have any luck with it (a splitter won't help with that). Technically you could use a displaylink device to mirror your screen, but I feel like that's just too much hassle.
Eh, I think I'm out of ideas for now. Maybe somebody else will be able to help. Hope you get your issue solved!
EDIT: I think I have an idea on how you could check whether touch actually works or not. Do you, by any chance, have touch sounds on? If yes, you should be able to hear a sound for every action you make on the phone (like opening an app and such). Just make sure that your phone isn't muted beforehand
EDIT2: Oooooooor you could just use a keyboard to confirm the dialog/input the code in TWRP if you have that installed (and if TWRP actually supports keyboards). Also worth trying.

Thank you so much for your propals! So finally I could make it run, I didn't start ADB, but I started directly ScrCpy and somehow on the phone pressed the button to accept the notebook. Since then I can connect with ScrCpy and now I can do my backup like that!

Ok, I have my Fuze running through the in-dash screen and I use it for GPS, internet, etc. However, I want to mount the phone so it's very clean and seamless but yet I still need access to the keyboard and screen for navigation. Has anyone done this succesfully, and if so, can you post pictures? I'd like a nice cradle that I can just plug it into and it will hook up my TV-out cable, my charger, etc. I'd like the charger to be hard wired too so it's not using my lighter socket.
2nd part of this question, does anyone recommend any certain software to make automotive usage any easier or more streamlined?

Not possible unless you can figure out a way to get usb hosting working on the phone. I have been looking into this myself as have many others and at the moment it is not possible. Even if usb hosting were to be enabled, you still would have to make a driver for it to work on that screen and would need to use more than your tv out cables to control the phone. Only way I know of is to run an actual car pc and use mymobiler to control your phone.
I think you read my post wrong. I already have everything working through that screen. I just need a place to mount the phone where it's handy and I can still use the keyboard. As it is now, it just sits on the passenger seat with a wire draping up into my dash.
After posting this, I was thinking if I could mount a bluetooth trackball device into my center console if it would act as a mouse (and somehow give me a mouse cursor?) then I could do everything with it and put the phone in the center console, out of sight. Have people been able to get a BT mouse to work with the phone?
i've done this with a number of HTC phones using a bluetooth mouse/keyboard and my Pioneer f700bt. The Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard is the ideal one for WM phones. Logitech v270 or v470 mouses have been known to work. As far as mounting it before I had my Pioneer screen, I attached my phone to my visor by strapping the holster of a car PDA mount to the visor using a velcro strap (see picture below). This way the touchscreen is still usable/accessible, but the keyboard on the phone probably wouldn't be. Also, if you check out the forums at www.mp3car.com, there are a lot of pictures and info of people using WM phones as carputers and integrating them into their cars. I believe there is one that had a mount in their glove box. You also may want to think about a vertical standing screw down PDA mount that you could attach to your console and still use the Fuze's keyboard.
I believe someone at mp3car.com was working on a front end software for mobile phones as carputers, you may want to look into it there. Some of the SPB software is handy for quick access when I used mine in the car.
check out what this guy did with his Dell Axm and his car, which you could apply a lot to the Fuze: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/gen...1v-aximizer-carputer-video-demonstration.html Pretty amazing.
Thanks, what mouse did you use?
I've been on mp3car.com for years and I spent the entire day on today. I felt the integration of WM phones was severaly lacking on this forum, I must have missed the posts.
Either way, if I can get a nice BT k/b and mouse then I think I'm going to mount a cradle inside the center console so it's all hidden and just have the k/b mouse mounted somewhere. Maybe even a custom center console, who knows. I hope all of this will be compatible with the TP2 also, I'll be switching over to that when AT&T decided to carry it.
I used the Logitech v270 with my HTC Wizard and P4300 running WM6.1 and it worked with both. I haven't tested it with the Fuze yet though. I think it would be fine. There are some generic drivers floating around various forums on here for bluetooth mice to work with WM. Whenever you decide what to do, I'd be interested in seeing the finished project!
you may want to check out this site for mounts for the Fuze:
http://www.ram-mount.com/Products/CellPhoneMounts/tabid/142/Default.aspx
just enter your phone as AT&T> Tilt and it will give you a ton of mounts that you may be able to use to position your keyboard and screen on the Fuze to be more accessible. The cupholder one may work for your setup.
sub'd for later, been trying to find hptuners for wm and this could work wonders
question
Awesome setup you have.
I have been wanting to setup a car PC myself. My original thoughts were to make a Windows XP box (located in trunk or dash) wired to a touchscreen on the console like you have. I had never considered just using my phone. This Pioneer screen that you have; how does it interface with your Fuze (USB/Bluetooth)? Are you just getting the display or is it a touchscreen that you can use to navigate on the device? Do you have the Fuze running your car audio?
Bracketron
They have a wealth of mounts that will keep you from destroying the sensitive fuze in a customized storage. I use this personally, and it works great during GPS navigation.

Check out brodit they have exactly what your looking for.

From Thinkgeek here. Says it fits the OG iPad and with our TP's being roughly the same size do you think this would work? The cutouts seem rather generic on the case so I don't see controls being an issue. Only problem I do see is that the camera would be blocked, but it wouldn't matter to myself.

Thank you for someone actually replying.
You actually sent me off on a search for a keyboard/case myself but I managed to convince myself I really don't need it.
My boss has this for his iPad 2, and it even has the notch for the iPad 2 front camera. This morning I slipped my HP TouchPad in it, and it fit like a glove. Every button on the TouchPad was accessible: Power, Volume, headphone, bottom speakers, front camera, home button, and the unused card slot. I like it alot, but be sure to get the one for the iPad 2 since it has a hole/notch for the front camera. I like this, but it's too expensive. I'm looking for something cheaper.
This case (or one very similar) is being sold by Maplins in the UK.
I bought one and it fits and BT keyboard working fine.
http://www.maplin.co.uk/ipad-universal-black-leather-case-with-bluetooth-keyboard-509917
BTW The one I got has the cutout for the camera.
Just so guys know, this is on sale at thinkgeek.com for $29.99 for their Christmas special.
I just purchased this case and it will not pair with my Touchpad. It says "Unable to connect to keyboard (HID) profile" after entering the pairing code. I have tried resetting - the the keyboard connects to my iPhone without a problem. Any advice?

Make sure you have bluetooth keyboard from the market installed.

Thanks! Interestingly enough - it lets me enter the code on the keyboard and also detects when I press enter (for the code). But then it errors out on the connection.
Figured it out.. thanks.

Do tell. I had it paired. Then I had it paired in android (xron's version of CM7) - and when I came back to WebOS, it pairs, but then gives the same error (unable to connect to keyboard (HID) profile).
I tried deleting the pairing and re-pairing from scratch - but it continues to give the same error.
What did you 'figure out'?!

Anyone? I'm still having issues as well
UPDATE: I finally got it working by having it start the pairing process, then holding the "Connect" button on the keyboard while it was trying to pair. After doing this a few times, it finally connected. However, it seems that it constantly disconnects. Pressing keys on the keyboard reconnects it, but there is a lag. This is very frustrating - any advice?
I just got this in the mail today but can't find the pairing code. Can anybody point me to what the code is or where it is hidden?

What you'll want to do is enter ANY code on the Touchpad. After you press the button to confirm the code, immediately type the same code on the bluetooth keyboard and press enter
I've pretty much given up on it - constantly disconnects. Big pain in the arse
That did it, thank you.
Oddly the device shows as disconnected in Android but Bluetooth Keyboard has it connected and working for the moment. I will play around with. It and see what happens.
Thanks again

I'm having a pretty strange issue with my Nexus 5 in that it no longer shows up on my Windows 7 desktop or Windows 8 laptop (both of which worked perfectly before).
I don't just mean that I can't see it in "My Computer", but it literally shows up nowhere. Not in the device manager (not even as Asus/Acer or any other funky name)... there's just no trace of it.
It doesn't show up on "adb devices" whether booted into the ROM (CM11) or recovery, and it doesn't show up on "fastboot devices" either.
But in spite of all this, it charges via USB without an issue. It almost seems like a hardware issue of some kind, but I'm hoping it isn't.
If anyone has experienced something similar or could offer any suggestions that would be great.
Thanks.

If it's on multiple computers, it's either your phone USB port or the cable. Have you tried another cable?

I used different cables as the two computers are in different locations. So looks like the phone is busted... but I'm baffled as to how this would suddenly happen, especially since it charges without a problem.
It isn't busted, the drivers have gone mad... Follow THIS guide, and it'll fix it. I had the same issue as did some other people.
Even though your's isn't showing as another device, it'll be there somewhere hidden.

So his drivers busted on 2 separate computers in different locations simultaneously? It sounds unlikely.

Mine didn't show up on my Desktop or Laptop randomly either, on two out of three Nexus devices. A random anomaly.
EDIT: It's possible Windows updates have done it. I've had a few on both machines lately also.
@radicalisto, thanks for your suggestions. The problem is that there is nothing appearing in the device manager at all that I can use to install drivers. At least not on my Windows 7 desktop.
I'm going to check again on Win 8.1 (laptop) when I get home this evening, but from what I remember when I checked over the weekend, there was no joy there either.
I managed to force-install the Google USB drivers for "Android ADB Interface" and "Android Composite ADB Interface" (which are the ones I always used before), and this is what I get for both of them:

OP, did you find a solution? I'm having the exact same problem.
install Wugfresh's nexus root toolkit, follow the instructions on the "full driver installation guide"
i guess its the micro usb port at fault though its charging theres a possibilty thats its gone bad
I tried that! But when I plug the device, absolutely nothing happens. No device is detected. The phone simply starts charging as if it was connected to a wall charger.
Thanks for all the responses guys, I have come to the conclusion the port is faulty. I took the phone apart and reseated all the ribbon cables, cleaned out the inside of the USB port with a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol, and when I turned it back on and plugged it in, I successfully got a USB connection -- for about 30 seconds! After that it stopped working again, and sometimes would show up on my PC as a malfunctioned USB device. Charging still works fine, and the USB device did work for 30 seconds (so that pretty much rules out it being a motherboard problem) so I'm pretty sure it's a port issue.
I'm going to buy a replacement USB port one of these days (available on eBay, Amazon, etc) and replace it and see if that works. I will report back when I eventually do (not for at least a few weeks though).
In the meantime if anyone else wants to try to do it themselves also, here is a really nice video guide:
Quick update: I think I managed to fix it... so far it's been working for a few minutes even with jiggling the plug around.
How? By using a needle. First I want to add a disclaimer that using a metal needle probably isn't the best idea since obviously it can lead to short circuiting inside the device (use a plastic or wooden toothpick instead, to be safe). I used the needle tip to scrape each individual metal contact terminal inside the USB port. I had to do this quite a few times for each port before it started working, so I'm guessing a very stubborn piece of grime or dirt somehow got in the way of one or more of the terminals, which blocked the plug connecting with the port properly.
Anyway, for you guys having the same problem, give it a try. Metal would obviously be the best choice in terms of the amount of force you can scrape with but to be safe, choose plastic, since it probably won't bend and fray like a wooden one.
Dear all,
Two months after installing a new screen on my OnePlus 5T, the screen basically stopped working (black, sometimes flickering parts).
However: the touch function is still working. For example, I can still operate spotify, as I just know where I would have to press...
As I really wish to retrieve some information from the phone, or initiate data transfer to a new OnePlus, I would like to try screen streaming options.
Since I can't really operate any other app without seeing the screen, I wanted to force it from my computer via adb commands.
The phone is unlocked/rooted, and adb debugging enabled.
There are two approaches I would like try:
GitHub - Genymobile/scrcpy: Display and control your Android device
Display and control your Android device. Contribute to Genymobile/scrcpy development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
I am planning to run these approches on a virtual machine for linux/ubuntu on a windows 11 computer, and I got it so far, that the device is being recogniced by the <adb devices> command, showing the device number.
However, the phone is also unauthorized, potentially hindering me from continuing with scrcpy (and potentially any other adb driven approach).
Please find the following output.

}
Of course, the internet provides solutions to that problem but they all require me to use the screen of my phone. (Which technically is possible, but I just can't see where I am tapping/if popups come up etc.).
So here's my question(s):
Is adb-driven screen streaming the only option I have at that point?
Are these approaches reasonable, or is there an easier solution?
Is there a way to properly set up the adb connection, that is also compatible with the broken screen problem I experience?
As this seems to be a more general question, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, but I could imagine that many approaches could lead to a satisfying result.
Just in case everthing fails, I also ordered a new screen from china, but it will probably take around 3-4 weeks to arrive...
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or feedback.
Thanks in advance!

it could be a hardware issue, most probably loose connection with the LCD Digitizer. you could try fixing it at a service or on your own.
Hey, and thanks!
You're right, it is most definitely a hardware issue. Hence, I ordered already a new screen.
Not sure if I want to break apart the whole phone again to check the connection to the LCD digitizer, if I can first try some software approaches...
The most pressing issue I have right now, is the missing authorization for usb debugging, as I can't answer any confirmation prompts send to the phone.
So someone decided to steal a broken phone belonging to me. The screen was smashed & im pretty sure it wouldn’t turn on, I couldn’t feel it viberate when powering on, but unsure if even powered.
Now since then I logged into the Google account & seen the device was active yesterday on a known network, I couldn’t see the name.
No SIM cards or sim tray in the phone for mobile data.
Passcode to enter the phone was my name.
Is it possible that someone powered the phone on with the broken screen there for it connected to a known network? Even possible to power on a phone with. Broken screen? Phone need to be unlocked to connect to Wi-Fi?
I am dumbfounded.

Well I know it is due to recent activity, Im absolutely sickened. Issue I have is when I last had access to it, it wouldn’t even light up when plugged into PC.
Now it’s stolen & recently active…
Some ejit replaced screen & either got in via passcode & or the Device connected to known network? Only possibility I can imagine?

Yes it's doable. See what free legal avenues are available to you where you are. I would leave it be as such until you do that. Best if you can find and prosecute the offender. Hammer 'em.
Secure bank accounts etc. now. Change email address and passwords.
no need for screen unlock to connect to known wifi. it's possible to mirror screen to tv and control phone with mouse and keyboard, though

@alecxs Is that a frame buffer device there?
Which devices support a frame buffer with mirroring without doing anything?
I presume that it's not just a Type C alt mode?
Thanks for the informative reply’s il get it back somehow.

Can't answer that, but Samsung DeX works OOTB.

There's lots of sites saying that if it supports USB 3.1 then it supports video.
OTOH, Qualcomm has tons of USB 3.1 processors and DisplayPort alt-mode only came in on the SDM835, SDM845.
I've tried using an HDMI adapter on my SDM636 (USB 3.1) and it doesn't work.
I've no idea if the adapter converts from DisplayPort to HDMI or whether it uses HDMI alt-mode.
