Screen cracked - only upper half reacts to touch. Help! - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
so my brother threw down his phone. Now it has big crack on the back and a light one on the display.
Despite this display looks ok, but only the upper half reacts to touch ...
So the idea is now to do some backups and then sent it in for repair.
The phone is stuck at the lock screen and cannot be unlocked because the number are in the lower half of the screen.
My first idea is to enable the "Glove modus" (Settings -> Display -> Enable Gloves) and maybe the display will still react to pressure touch... (?)
However how can I enable this modus, is it possible via adb and how?
Any help appreciated, cheers
PS:
The phone is rooted, btw.

What do you mean, exactly?

Maybe he meant to plug a mouse using an OTG cable. I haven't tried myself so i can't vouch for the method

He's right. Buy any cheap USB OTG adapter and plug any USB mouse (even wireless) to Your phone. Tested and working.

Thanks, USB OTG adapter did the trick.

Unresponsive screen

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active but recently it does'nt detect touch. The LCD still works but it doesnt detect touch so it's only usable when I use a USB OTG cable to connect a mouse to it. Is this a software issue or does the screen assembly need to be replaced

I had the same issue lately and the solution was to change the screen assembly. This happens if you'd have dropped the phone

If your device is I9295 then flash twrp recovery and check if touch is working else you will need to replace the screen

touch screen and micro usb don't work properly

hi ,
i have a htc one m7 that is not recognized by pc when it is in bootloader mode, however the phone doesn't charge properly when i plug it in the current because the cable moves when it is plugged.
if i use a micro usb with not long exit, it charges well, if i use a cable with big exit, it moves easily and it often doesn't charge.
the second problem is:
the highest part of the screen doesn't recognize the touch, to use that part i have to press strongly and using the entire finger or a big part of it (if i use the extremity of the finger, it doesn't work ), AND the highest point of the screen ( status bar) doesn't work NEVER.
How to fix micro usb?
How to fix screen problem (i think that is a software problem)
i have not original charging cable
i have just tried to do make electro-shocks to the screen but it doesn't work

If your usb port is damaged you can replaced it. Removing the cover of the phone is a little tricky but once done, the usb board is easily replaced.
You can test your touchscreen by lauching the diagnostic menu by dialing *#*#3424#*#* form there you can access the line drawing test. Test your screen and if some inputs are not registered then your digitizer is probably faulty and will need to be replaced.

using usb mouse with dex

hi I have rooted my note 8 and have a custom kernel to allow me to use dex with a third party dock. everything seems to work fine I have a usb keyboard plugged in that has no problems what so ever, but the mouse on the other hand is not working.
The actual problem I have is when I plug a usb mouse in the on-screen touchpad turns off, but the mouse cursor disappears from screen and there seems to be no response from any movement or button presses.
i have looked through the settings and can't see anything that would affect it in such a way, I have tried 2 different mice and every usb port.
unfortunately I don't have another rooted device or genuine dex dock to see if either of them makes a difference.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice on what to try next.

Broken screen (bottom half)

My S10 fell out of my hands the other day and the bottom half of the screen is broken. The top half of the screen is somewhat visible. I'd like to get all the data/pictures off of the phone.
What is the best way to do this? I can't get it unlocked because I have no idea if touch is still working on the bottom half, so I can't really get it into USB Transfer mode. I'd like to avoid going to the local phone fixer.
Thanks for your help.
Maybe you can try to connect it to a USB-C Monitor, some have built in hubs to which you can connect a mouse and then control the phone like that. I know that not everyone has a USB-C Monitor but maybe you can find one at work or something. Hope that helps you.

Damaged screen with no input option - need help to take backup

Hi everyone,
I have a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G with a broken screen, and I need to enable USB Debugging to access and backup my data. Unfortunately, I can't see anything on the screen, making it impossible to navigate the interface.
I have tried using a USB OTG adapter and USB mouse, but since the screen is unresponsive, I cannot interact with the phone. I am unable to access the settings or enable USB Debugging through regular means.
I'm seeking advice on alternative methods or solutions to enable USB Debugging on my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G without relying on the screen. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to proceed.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

you cant
Well, it's difficult, but not necessarily impossible.
Does screen mirroring over USB connector work?
Do you know if the touch screen still works?
Do you have an absolute position digitizer tablet?
Have you considered buying a screen? You wouldn't have to really install it, just hang it.
Can you flash a new boot image?
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/accessing-my-phone-with-a-dead-screen.4542763/
Then there is my own Swiper app, but that's complicated to use too.
As it was not on debug mode / developer mode, i can't take backup using cmd prompt/ adb mode. thinking to buy comptable LCD screen on ebay and fix it myself and take backup of phone. highstreet shops are asking £70, which is not worth for this phone.
Yes, but there is a difference between the cost of a replacement screen that you just wire off the back and an actual screen replacement.
