[Q] HTC Desire c Screen cracked where BACK button is - HTC Desire C

Does anyone know how I can make or change the location of my back button? Right there in the lower left of my digitizier I have a small crack. Of course it makes both my back button and my option to open my dialer during calls non operational. Does any one have a suggestion or a work around other than a new screen?

Use button saviour...

Broken touch screen - Key Board Short Cut Work arounds

Howdy Folks,
I sat on my phone this weekend (have had my phone in my back pocket many times) and cracked the glass. Now my touch screen is now non-responsive.
I've been able to find keyboard and trackball work around for every feature on the phone... except for the notification bar.
Does anyone know of an app or keyboard shortcut that will allow me to access the notification bar if i can't swipe it down via the touch screen?
I plan on replacing the phone( or maybe just the screen), but until i can, figuring out a work around would be really nice.
Can u go to the home screen, press menu and navigate via trackpad to notifications? It sucks going home all the time to do but it should do the trick till u get a replacement.

Thanks for the reply!
I can't seem to get that to work... If i understand correctly, you just navigate "up" with the trackpad, and it lets you access the notifications? That doesn't seem to work for me
However... I have discovered that there is a tiny triangle of screen that still works. So if I let my my screen rotate a full 180.. I've figured out that I can pull down the notifications bar.
Still if anyone has any other suggestions so that I don't have to turn my phone upside down to access notifications... that would be great!

He said to go to the home screen and click the menu button while in home screen... Then Click notifications and the rest is history.

[q] {request} a screen position change< plz >

Hi guys,
So, as the thread says, i am having a problem with screen positioning, its landscape mode and i want it to go portrait mode, BECAUSE i have a damaged X1, some microchip is damaged, and the only buttons working is the turn on button and the camera button, but everything which goes for the touch is working perfectly.
SO, when i start ANDROID system, i always get it in landscape mode, and as none of my buttons work, i cant just "slide out and slide in" the telephone to change the view, so is there any way to change the default starting view ? maybe to change some kind of code or line in settings ?

Yes , it will be, but i tried to repair it, i repairmans told, that this device is unrepairable... So i either throw it away or manage to use android ... Can anyone help ?
On some of the iPad knockoffs running android, they put only the home button on the device, and put software buttons for back and menu in the top right of the screen. Maybe you can find some way to get that?

As for the rotate, when I press the menu button on the home screen, it seems to realise that the keypad is in fact closed and rotate the correct way. So if you can get the menu button up there, then press that on the homescreen and it should rotate to the correct orientation.

You can maybe remap the keys like this:
Camera focus = back
Camera = home
Power = menu
But I don't know how to do it.
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
Camera focus is already mapped to back button in "Froyo FRG83 - Android 2.2.1 Beta-Release [06-11-2010] from neopeek", but camera is mapped to turn off.
Also with that configuration, how would you turn off your device or put it into standby?
@tads999 calm down dude. Remember that YOU need help, not us. So don't yell at guys that want to help.

Take out the battery to turn off.
Have a timer that enters standby after some minutes if nobody touch it and listen to all working keys so he can exit standby.
And if I would have his X1 I would be pleased if it could run Android.

[APP] Instant Screen Off (for rooted phones only)

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed
Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.
Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Lol, maybe I didn't want the technical version after all. Dumb it down so I can understand. I'm have it installed but I don't see it doing anything. I have an Evo. How does this work (explain normal).

Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo
Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta
here i send you the perfect icon for me.
I hope you can do this. This would be very great.
Can you make the white corners transparent?
If you cant please make it black...
Im looking forward to you work

Hello, thanks a lot. its look very very sexy.
The only problem i have is with the "More Icons Widget"
That shows me the old symbol.
I think thats not you Problem. So i will check that.
thanks!
Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

Soft keys are too close to main screen

Hi guys, do you have the same feeling as mine? O4x's soft keys are too close to the bottom of the main screen. As a result, sometimes during text input, home button is unintentionally hit.
Is there any solution to this?

Happens to me all the time. I have no solution this far. Maybe one could make a mod to have the on-screen buttons as Google intended and disable the hardware soft keys, but I don't have any experience in modding.
Not sure about the mechanism of the hotkeys. If they're touch panel like (or even they're just part of the main capacitive touch screen), the best solution IMO is to reduce the effective touch area of each button. Just make them slightly larger than the led icons.
But this is not what CM can do I think. It should be some driver code change from LG...

i use swiftkey and increase the key height and it is so much easy to key now without hitting home when i use the spacebar. Another alternative is to setup the direction arrows underneath the spacebar but i feel the previous approach is suitable for me not to hit home key 99.9% all the time :cyclops:
Happen quite a lot at first,
After a mth with this phone. Seldom happen anymore.
Will get used to it

[Q] Can I activate the HTC button and switch the other two?

Hi!
I'm thinking about buying HTC One, but I dont like the way buttons are arranged. So:
- Can I activate the button behind the logo and set it as a HOME button?
- Can I set the original Home button to work as a MENU button?
And one more:
- Is the notification light capable of other colours aside orange and green?
Thanks

1. Yes with a custom kernel/ROM
2. Yes HTC allow you to map the button to act as menu if you like (I did this when I still had my One)
3. No, that's all you get (it's not RGB)
Well, I got a feeling I can get HTC One X with nearly the same specs as the newer HTC One has without all that button-hacking hassle. (And on much lower price...)

I can't compare phone here (forum rules). But I personally had the htc one x and now the htc one. My advice stay away from the one x. Why? PM me if you want to know
What he said it's way better the HTC One, it has 2GB of ram instead of 1GB from One X... i've had both and i kept the One

Sorry to be annoying, but do I undersandt it right I could get this 3-button configuration on the One?
1. Back
2. Home
3. Menu
?
You can have it as follows:
Back button = back a screen (as usual)
HTC logo = Home button (by using a custom ROM/kernel)
Recent app button = Press for recent apps, press and hold for menu

I usually prefer stock Android to Sense BUT I do regret selling my One to get the Nexus 5. It was a cost thing really but might come back once the M8 is released
