Just like the title says. I was in a car accident a few days ago and my phone got thrown around and the amoled is cracked. I turned off the option to turn on usb debugging when connected and now I need to find a way to get it turned on so that I can control my phone through the pc. Any ideas?
You'll need to navigate by going with where it is approximately on the screen. Then to verify that it's connected just adb devices if nothing returns try it again. Here are some pics to show you where to press on the screen (red arrows show where).
NOTE: this starts at the settings screen to get there just press menu then the bottom right corner.
Thank you for the screens. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm running CM7, so I might have a little trouble with the first step, adjusting for the extra cm settings and adw settings. Thanks again.
here's the Settings for ADW EX.
hopefully its in the same spot.

I got my TD2 yesterday and have been playing extensively with it (and like it), but don't see the point of the power button appearing to turn off the display when pressed and then back on again when pressed again...I kept turning off the display by accident and hope there may be a way to disable this "feature" ?
Also, by unticking some option somewhere, the little "Quick Launch" thingy in the top right next to the speaker icon has gone and I don't know how to get it back...!
This is my first touchscreen, so I'm finding it quick difficult to scroll menus without actually selecting something whilst moving my finger/stylus up and down.
The powerbutton is meant to do this. The screen goes into sleep mode after a period of time and you click it to turn it on again. You will get used to it
The quick launch thingy? To the right of the speaker? The only thing to the right is the task manager. Not sure you can turn that off.
You will get used to the touchscreen and things with the phone will improve once the guys on here get to grips and customise it.

Go to settings and click on the left softbutton to see more settings.
Then click the taskmanager settings and go to the third tab.
Click the option to enable the quickmenu there.
Hi all,
I frequently charge my X1i through USB. There are 2 problems with this method, however.
1) The device goes into USB drive mode, disabling my SD card apps (I keep them on SD card AT ALL TIMES due to frequent backups/restores)
2) Screen does not turn off! while connected to computer! The screen only dims, but does not turn off.
WITHOUT resorting to a) plugging into wall outlet b) connecting to Activesync, is there any to fix these behaviors?
Thanks!
just let it go into activesync mode, that way you can still access your files on your phone and micro sd card from both your pc and phone. And if you dont like the screen not turning off, they just change the settings or just press the power button, to shut off the display.
I know about the power setting, but when your computer is connected to the computer via USB, it refuses to turn off the screen (only dims it)
what? one simple button press and the screen is off. the device is still visible to the pc. I do it all the time - r3a generic uk rom.
in power options u can set after what time it disables screen... default is never

Weird. When I'm connected to Pc, it dims the screen, it does not shut it off. Also, it does NOT auto-shut of screen after the 2 minutes specific in the Power options
You can also use "safely remove devices" to disconnect the data connection from the phone, it'll still charge.
There's nothing we can do AUTO. But like said before, a simple pression on the power button will do it, or you can use My Mobiler and press F11 on your PC.

Yep, I've had 5 different WinMo devices since '05 and they all worked as expected except the X1. I like to use it as an MP3 player at night, Pocket Player has a sleep timer built in so I just like to leave it running as I drift off most nights. But if I do anything, change the volume, rewind, anything at all the screen comes back on and stays on until I hit some other button to turn it back off. All my other devices obeyed the settings you set in the Power tab, but not the X1...
I'd very much like the screen to auto-off if I tell it to while on USB power. It's not only wasting power, but it wakes me up and gets me fumbling for the tiny power button at 2 in the morning. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
I bumped up thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561832 Since it has a better title and shows the exact same unresolved issue...
Reg Fix
Adding this potential fix here as well so anyone subscribed to this thread sees it.
Ok, I think I have a fix for this. I googled around some more and found that this might be an HTC problem more than an SE one. There were various registry keys people suggested to try to fix the 'backlight problem' - which may or may not be related. None of those suggestions seemed to work, but I kept changing keys myself and eventually found this seemed to do the trick.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ACUserIdle: 120
I confirmed that changing this value affects the amount of time before my X1's screen turns off - but my MP3s still play with the screen off and my phone wakes on receipt of a new call. This value is the # of seconds before the screen turns itself off (in this case 2 minutes). You do need to soft reset for the change to take effect.
This doesn't seem to be posted anywhere else that I've found doing this to fix this issue issue - I changed a few other registry keys as well that might be enabling this fix. So anyone with this problem, please do give this a try and if it doesn't work I'll post the other keys I changed as well - and if it does then post to say so and we're good

Update: I tested it also while hooked up to the computer and it does work with the phone accessible through active sync with the screen off and the battery charging (faster now that it isn't competing with the screen for power, except for the 2 minutes before it times out). If I want to use it I just click a button and the screen stays on till I leave it alone for 2 mins and it remains off. Get a call or a message and the screen goes on for 2 minutes and then off - Exact same behaviour on AC and USB - exactly the behaviour I wanted .
Hello and thank you for attempting to help me. I have a Nexus 6 from T-mobile. My dentist appointment yesterday brought me clean teeth and a terrible phone problem. While I was there yesterday my phone decided to download the 5.1.1 update OTA. I pressed the okay button and it restarted. On boot up, I get a white window saying it is "optimizing apps x out of 138". It does that every time I boot it up. After that window is finished, I get a black backgrounded lock screen. On the lock screen in the usual place is the time. In the top left it says there is no sim card. In the bottom I get the normal call, unlock, camera buttons. I am able to drag down the top to show the notification information. As far as I know there are no settings changed from the factory Nexus 6 I recieved from T-mobile. Now I have attempted multiple tasks to try to access my phone but all have been in vain. Here is a list of what I have tried.
To unlock the phone normally. The result is a black screen, a little beep, a white window that says Google services have failed. After a second or two the white screen goes away and leaves a empty screen. I am still able to hold the power button to reveal the white power off window and it works. I can also hold down on the volume and the power button to create a screen shot. It even shows the whole minimization of the current screen and fall to the bottom like it would if the phone was working properly.
I tried to swipe the call button and all it does is give me a blank white screen with a blue notification bar at the top. I can once again power off or screen shot but nothing else.
I have not tried to swipe from camera yet.
I can drag down on the top notification bar to show the the notifications, quick setting changes (Wifi, data, airplane modes, brightness) and the setting button to go to the setting menu. I can turn the brightness up and down, and turn all the other things in the quick menu on and off but if I click anything (toogle them or slide the brightness) and put the notifications bar back up I get the black screen with the white google services has crashed window. I can power off and screen shot normally.
If i swipe down on the notification bar and press setting It crashes once again and gives the black screen and white window that says google services has crashed. I can power off and screen shot normally.
I tried holding volume down and the power button then went into recovery mode. Held power then press volume up to get to the next menu and then deleted the cache partition. It has no effect that I have noticed.
As stated above, I do not think I have usb debugging enabled, I assume my boot loader is locked. This phone has not been modded by me.
I do not want to factory reset if I do not have to due to the very important phones and numbers i have.
You didn't make a backup before updating ?

Unless there is a previous setting in place that I clicked to automatically update it when ever there is one available, I do not remember picking to update. It downloaded and asked me to reset. I assumed it was a small patch and not something that could screw up my phone. I could of though. But no I did not.

Well, I'd suggest a factory reset even though you are reluctant. Otherwise, bring it somewhere for repair. But chances are they're going to tell you to factory reset.
Hi,
I need some help getting data off my broken Galaxy s6 for ATT (G920A). The screen broke down and does not come back on. To make things worse I do not have the developer options or USB debugging turned on.
I am able to hear all sounds from the phone after its turned on (including volume up and down after hitting the home button a few times since that unlocks the phone to home screen)
When I connect the phone to my pc by using the att cable, found new device shows S6 and an icon appears in 'My computer' on opening the phone folder its empty (I am guessing the phone is going to 'USB charging' option as compared to MTP or Midi)
Really hoping an expert here could give some suggestions if there is any way for me to get my photos and other data out of this device.
Appreciate all the help.
Thanks,
Matt
So after exactly a year my note 5 went all purple people eater on me and now the screen is black. Digitizer still works.
Here is my problem: How the hell do I turn it off?
Also how would I turn on USB debugging without a screen display?
I can unlock the sceen using Samsung account tho.
Thanks!
That's what I always hated in Android (vs. WP), the system asks you thousands of times "are you sure you want to do this or that"- Same applies when you want to turn your device off, you need to do three actions:
1) Press the start button for 2 seconds
2) Press the screen to select "Power off". It's located at near 70% height and 50% width (middle)
3 Confirm you want to shut down (right in the middle of the screen)
Not sure about USB debugging mode though...
I hope this helps. Get yourself a new screen asap.
Could not accomplish. The Samsung page says my phone is completely unlocked but trying to press buttons I cannot see is damn hard.
