Hello Everyone,
I think I might have bricked my Fascinate using Tasker, but am very hopeful someone here can help.
I wanted to set-up a profile to turn off the volume and screen when my phone was placed face-down, which looked easy enough. First I programmed the volume off and tested it and it worked perfectly. Then I added turning the screen off which also worked perfectly, until I turned the phone face-up and the screen did not turn back on.
I can get the screen to comee on when I call the phone, but only while the phone is face-down, and I can't answer the phone or do anything. NO LED will come on signifing that I missed a call, but when I press the power button to bring up the lock screen NO LED disappears and the phone screen goes black again.
When I plug the phone into the computer via USB, I hear the beep signifing that the pop-up screen asking if I want to mount the sd card, but I can't select anything because...THE SCREEN IS BLACK!!
Thanks in advance for any help,
You should be able to fix it if you have debugging enabled and can use adb. Not sure of the exact method, but it can be done.
If You have usb debugging on you can delete tasker and you should be fine.

I had USB debugging on, but I think I might have turned it off. I really can't remember.
So, if debugging is off, there isn't anything thing else I can do?
Throw water on it and bring it back to VZW...
If you are rooted, this is why its a good practice to make Nandroid backups

Hi everyone ...
I recently disassembled my G1 to fix the touch screen. I acknowledge that I took the phone's fate into my hands when I decided to open it up, but I had done this twice before with no problems whatsoever. If these symptoms sound familiar to you, please let me know if you were able to fix your phone.
I put it back together, and now when I power it on, I get the short vibration that confirms the power-on ... but I get no screen image, no keyboard lights. So when this first happened I pulled the whole thing apart again to be absolutely sure I hooked up all the flex cables and ribbon cables. Yes, everything is connected. Everything. I've triple-checked it now.
What I did next was a couple of tests to see how "awake" or functional the phone actually is behind that blank screen. When I power it on and let it sit a couple minutes, so that I know it has finished booting ....
I CAN:
- boot the phone in normal or recovery mode. both modes produce the blank screen and no key lights.
- view the phone in ADB. (ADB tells me "device" or "recovery" mode)
- execute commands and view files on the phone with ADB shell.
- pull files off the phone with ADB.
- make the LED light up by plugging in the wall charger or USB cable when the phone is off.
I CANNOT:
- make any of the backlit keys turn on by pressing them.
- make the phone receive a call or a text.
- make the LED light up by a missed call, text, or plugging in the charger/USB when the phone is on.
My first impression is that I've done something terrible to the mainboard so the phone is somehow in this "semi-booted" state, where it won't run the screen. Is it possible that a bad cable to the screen could cause this? Thanks so much for your help.
Come on, no one can help me with this? I know I'm not the only one who has taken a G1 apart and met with disappointment.
Hey Guys I really need your help my N1 won't power on for some reason. I really need to get some things off the phone from certain software that I had in case I have to have it repaired or sent away. I'll try to be brief what happened I was exercising with my phone inside a protective case that covers the whole phone and I went to change the next song while listening to music and when i went to push the power button the screen remained black the whole time and I couldn't see anything at all the screen was black the whole time after numerous attempts at pushing the power button. So I held down the power button to try and reboot it and then the music stopped, so then I hit the power button again to turn it on and it hasn't turned on since yesterday. I even took the battery out and let it chill for a min and still doesn't work. when I plug it in to the charger the orange/green light comes on and as well with the USB connection too, but still can get it to power on.
Anyone have any Idea what it could be? I am assuming it's the power button but I am not for sure. Is there anyway to turn it on again in case i need to recover any files, etc. the reason i want to get it to work is that I don't want to have to go through the hassle of sending it away to be repaired if there is some way I can do it myself. I am trying to avoid sending it away with my carrier and I really need to access certain files on the phone if all else fails. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it thnx to anyone.
If it's a power button failure, you can put the phone on charge, then remove and reinsert the battery... keep trying, it will turn on eventually...

it worked the first time I did it thank you so much well just in case it ever happens again how can I back up some things on my apps for example I have notes on AK notepad how would I back those up? and if I wanted to move some software to my sd card that doesn't allow it?
Hey thanks again you are a life saver!!!!!!!!
oh darn the X came up when I powered it up but still nothing just a black screen I got all excited for nothing
i got after 5 or so times of taking the battery out thnx again is there a way or software to make the N1 awake or power off with the trackball without rooting it since the power switch is buggy now?
Titanium Backup will backup apps and data to SD card.
Widget Locker has an option for trackball wake.
LockEnabler will let you turn screen off/sleep.
Quick Boot will let you reboot, boot into recovery etc. Be careful booting into recovery or boot loader, because power button is used to navigate (you have to use adb).

thnx again is there anyway to restart/reboot the phone if it is not rooted via trackball or another button?
Reboot is possible with Quick Boot (as noted above), but if you ever turn off then the battery toggle is your only option...

So recently, my Nexus One's LCD cracked while playing cricket.. BOHOO! So I took it to the repair shop, and he fixed my LCD. YAYY! But the repair guy messed up my power on button. Before it used to be so soft and easy to turn on, but now it only turns on if i press it on a certain spot, which is very ANNOYING! I took it back to him and he didn't really fix anything. I just want to ask you if you know any easy solution to this. No, not the trackball wake. Like would it be easy for me to open my phone up and repair the button myself? Or do you think i'm out of luck?
Thank you

well, sadly; my power button has given up finally.
Can anyone help me out by telling me how i'm supposed to turn my phone off completely. I'm using an app which allows me to turn my screen off and lock the phone, but is there one to provide me options for powering off and booting into recovery, bootloader etc? It's essential because i need to be able to turn my phone off to switch my battery packs, and to install new firmwares. Thanks.
Most importantly, how would i turn on my phone when it's completely turned off, since the power button wouldn't do any good
Try "Quick Boot" to switch 4-ways reboot function.
To turn on your N1, simply connect it to charger, whether it is wall, usb, or powerbank one. When the led lights up, pull your battery. As soon as the led down, insert your battery immediately.
My N1 has been "happily" running that way for months.

My power button is on the fritz now too. Is there someone who fixes this? Can I make a insurance claim?
My HTC one does not turn on, it just vibrates no sound etc. However i can get a pc connection (adb).
What happened: My battery went down to 0% one week ago, i have sand my phone to a repair shop in order to replace the battery.
Now it came back still unable to power on. However now i can get adb to work and phone vibrates when tring to turn it on.
Any ideas how to get it back working?
EDIT Fastboot also working, but black screen...so is the screen defect?
Any way to get my data off the phone?

Insert sim card in another phone, disable pin.
Put it back in your HTC power it on and call it.
Even if the phone is fully silent you could tell if it rings or not with the phone you call it with.
And so if it rings it is most likely the screen.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Connect to pc to back your data up. Also does the touchscreen work? And did you drop your phone or something else?
the touchscreen doesn't work
debugging mode is not activated, I cannot transfer my data to the pc.
I had the touchscreen bug for some time and suddenly, the screen did not turn on. The phone did not fall.

If it still under warranty i would send it to where you bought it. Even if you dont have warranty try it because the device should not be broken under normal use.
keep pressing the power button and when your phone vibrates try and hit restart. i know your screen is blacked out but if possible just try and locate. it happened with me too and thankfully my devices' screen recovered. the pop up comes just adjacent to the power button. first option will be your power off and then just below will be your restart.
I already tried
the phone reboots well but still black screen
