how do i factory reset with a dead screen?

my damaged nexus one screen has progressed to the point of a black screen all the time... i didnt think of it before the screen died, but i am a bit stumped as to how i now reset to clear all my data? i cant see anything on the screen, but the phone still has my google account linked to it.
doh! :-(
reason i want it cleared: may send in for repair and i dont want others to get my info, or i may have to send to insurance company for payout (they said to hang on to phone for now) and i dont want them to see my info, or may sell damaged unit if insurance doesnt pay and i dont want those folks to get my info either.... see the problem?

You can try this. Did a google search.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/28793-how-do-full-adb-wipe-help.html

thanks for the link...would work if id had debugging enabled before the screen died... adb wipes require debugging mode.
any other suggestions?

There's this:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
But if you don't have Debugging enabled and can't get it to register when you hit "adb devices" you're probably effed. I don't know much about touch screen engineering, though. Does it still respond to touch as far as you can tell, or is the screen completely dead when the OLED display stops working?
This serves as a good warning for others, though. ALWAYS MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > DEVELOPMENT IS CHECKED. There's really no good reason I can think of that would ever make you want to leave this unchecked, and this is an example of when it would come in very handy.

cant you use the clear storage function by booting while holding volume down, waiting 5 seconds, then pressing volume down 3 times followed by a press of the power button?

the digitizer still accepted touch input as screen beneath began to fail. colors bled from the cracks and the images began to imprint in the screen... within a few hours, it was completely illegible, and then the next morning, it appeared as a dysfunctional unit with a non working screen.
i will try and methods suggested, but i have no way to verify success... thanks for the sequence.

well when you boot by holding power, your given options FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, SIMLOCK
Heres the exact key combination
Boot phone using Volume Dn + Power
Wait 5-10 seconds to be safe
Press Volumn Dn twice
Press Power Btn
Press Volume Up
Phone should reboot after 5 seconds

i will try that... confirmation of success will be the charging LED turning off and then back on again?

of the reboot? ya. i cant imagine doing this without the screen lol. Sorry i couldnt be more help

You could also probably flash a PASSIMG.zip from the bootloader. That will overwrite all partitions so it should make it 100% stock.
It might be harder to do without the screen than the clear storage function though.

tried the method... and i think it worked... i cant verify, but thanks for the help guys.

You can easily verify that by sending yourself an email and see if your phone can get the notification of that new email (by trachball or sound).

[Q] Broken power button / how to boot without

Hello everyone
I own a Samsung ACE S5830. Recently the power button stopped working -- which was annoying, but I could live with. I just wouldn't lock the phone manually.
But now, finally, the thing I feared has happened: I let the battery run down.
My question is, of course: Is there any way to boot the phone other than the power button? Perhaps over USB?
Should the phone show up in adb devices's list, even if it is off? Because it doesn't, but I may be doing something wrong.
I am out of warranty -- so I'll have to get the phone serviced. Is it worth it, or should I just buy a new device?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Sorry to reply to myself.
Just wanted to let you know I suceeded in booting the thing. I don't really know how -- just hitting random keys while removing and re-inserting the battery, connected to usb.
I am starting to wonder if perhaps the power button does at least partially work -- any way I could test it? Obviously it doesn't perform normally, that is, not locking, booting, holding to get the shutdown menu, etc.

Hey!
If you can enter to DOWNLOAD mode(hold together 3 buttons[HOME+POWER+VOL DOWN]), then its probably working.
CHEERS!

Maybe this will be the solution:
1. Hold Home button
2. Connect to usb (or charger) still holding Home button
3. When in recovery menu, unplug usb
4. Select reboot system now
5. Succes?

I don't know what ROM you're running, but MIUI has the option to do what you're asking. It's in the settings menu (I believe under Lockscreen).

oh, ROM CM7 have it also, but I want separate app. Do you know any apps ?

Widget locker. Like 3 bucks in market enable easy wake

Fix Broken Power Button by Destil
I found this..
market.android.com/details?id=cz.destil.fixbrokenpb&hl=en
When I tried to download it said it wasn't compatible with captivate but I found the .apk and it ended up working. I attached the .apk I was using to this post.
Another thought, I took my phone apart and cleaned it. I took everything apart down to the motherboard and I poured a little rubbing alcohol on the actual button and pressed it a bunch of times (no battery in of course) and after it dried out it seemed to help get it working again.
Also, when I started having problems again I installed a different kernel and that seemed to help as well. Who knows.. but it has been working ever since.
The Fix Broken Power Button by Destil .apk is below

Thank you topiratiko, I was about to go crazy worrying about not being unable to turn my screen on. But what will I do if the phone shuts off? How will I turn it on? My power button seems to be unable to work.

You can allways go into download mode and flash a kernel for ex and check reboot so it'll boot up, or even better use a jig by inserting it for just a bit to power on and to avoid download mode.

Power button is broken? How to reboot to download?

Power everything was working this morning
Noticed that my power button wasn't working...the screen stayed on. Pulled battery, put it back in and the phone booted without pressing power.
Was like "wtf?"
When it booted, I couldn't turn off the screen.
So I just left the battery out and took it home.
Put a new rom on phone, thought "This will fix it."
Wrong.
Had to flash using Rom Manager because in recovery the power button doesn't respond.
When it began to boot "AT&T Screen" wouldn't disappear and show me some Doc's v4.
I can manipulate it to boot into recovery but the power button doesn't work still.
I can NOT get it to go into recovery.
Can someone helps me?

have ODIN open, and battery removed from phone... hook up usb, hold both vol keys, while inserting battery... you should get download mode fine even with a busted power button... what you do next is up to u....

Once more, I can NOT get it to boot into recovery in that fashion.
I cannot place batter in the phone without it attempting to boot
(doesn't not get past the AT&T boot screen)
I cannot plug it up, hold volume buttons and then put in battery because it will just charge. If I unplug the phone, the phone still thinks it's charging actually.
My question really is Can I 'fix' the power button, or can I reboot it into download mode through command propt? I've never used ADB to access my phone, so that'll be new.

Dude... recovery is useless right now, you have a busted power button... and because of 'said busted power button', none of what you're trying to do is going to work... like youve said...
You are down to trying to force download mode with USB cord, holding the vol keys, and inserting the battery... ADB cannot run commands to a phone stuck at the boot screen... Thread title says, how to reboot to download, and with the button like it is, all you can do is what i've posted...
As to fixing the power button, i don't see why that's not possible... do u feel it press at all?

Yeah, it 'presses' and 'clicks'. I mean it worked most of the day, it got low on power and it just quit working.

Any luck forcing download by puttin the battery in while the usb is hooked up with the vol keys pressed in?

I was having the same problem with my power button and eventually the power button stopped working completely even though i could still hear it click. I sent it to mobiletechvideos and they fixed it really fast and it was a great price.

goes into boot-loop like if I were holding the volume up/down and the power together. That's what doesn't make sense.

And I could buy another used Captivate for $50. I have an upgrade in less than 3 weeks and this happens

It happened to me once before after flashing a bad kernel. I just did what B-Naughty had suggested. Remove battery -> plug in USB -> hold both volume buttons --> then insert battery. Put me right in download mode and Odin it back with a working power button. Unless it's really a hardware problem, then you're out of luck...

Oh in that case imo i would get another used captivate and wait for the sgs 3

Maybe if I went to a store and sucked up to them they'd let me upgrade a month early (especially since I was initially supposed to upgrade in October)

Might be down to getting/making a USB jig if it don't come up... but if you upgrade to gs2, the jig will work for that model as well so won't be wasted...

Maybe a jig would work. But easier, funner solution is adding a line for a Moto Atrix 1 for just a penny plus the $36 fee. Problem solved. Thanks for the help for what could just be a hardware failure. I'll upgrade my other line later when the SGS 3 comes out

Question Stuck in power saving mode on my Op10pro 2213? Help!

Hello guys! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Please, any ideas how to get unstuck from power saving mode?
I have the 10 pro, 2213, OxygenOs 13 and I was short on battery when I decided to activate the power saving mode.
Now, my phone wont get out from this powersaving mode even though it is charged , plugged in the ac adapter or after rebooting and shutting it down.
On my notification panel, I only have a few power toggles that cannot go in the settings menu if long pressed.
There is no notification message to disable power saving mode. I'm fully charged and still the power saving mode is on.
Knock on is not working and multitask button isn't as well. Home button sometimes work and sometimes does not. I really wish to get out of this powersaving mode as I had my phone looking up only for 3G network to maximize battery plus the other annoyances mentioned....
I recorded a video to show this behaviour.
Any Ideas? thank you all!

Hi I noticed you just swiped down don't know if you're aware you can swipe down further and the settings icon should appear. Try that I don't own a Oneplus 10 Pro well I haven't received it yet should arrive tomorrow but I keep seeing problems with this phone I'm considering on returning it. But I think you can swipe down further at least that's what I can do on Oneplus 7T Pro. Hopefully this may help you.

HI, mate. Well, I cannot swipe further down to expand the notification panel. Anyway, the settings icon should appear at the top right portion even if you don't swipe twice.. :/
Attached is a screen shot of the notification panel while in normal condition...
I'm sorry to say, but I cannot recommend this phone. If you can get a s22u or pixel for a similar price, I'd definitely go for it. I have a long list of complaints and suggestions about software on this device.. I previously had the s10+ for a happy 3 years

Press and hold the power button.
Tap and hold the "Power off" option.
Normally a new popup menu should appear on your screen that asks you to “Reboot to safe mode”. Answer “OK” at this point and let your phone reboot in Safe Mode.

Update!
I was able to boot on safe mode. Then, my phone presented me correctly the Super Power Saving Screen and I was able to disable it!
Safe mode steps on OOS13:
Once your device has been powered off, long press the power button to turn it back on and wait till you see the device manufacturer or the Android logo.
Once you see the logo, press and hold the volume down button until your device reboots.
Release the power button once your device has rebooted and you will now be entered into the safe mode.

What happened:
Saturday 24th I activated the power saving mode when I was 5%. The phone died and later when I turned it on, it was on SUPER POWER SAVING MODE without being on the "Super power saving launcher". Instead, somehow it was on my NOVA LAUNCHER while being on super power saving mode, as shown on the video...... So I was not able to disable it or access any configuration. My phone was on Do not disturb, good night mode, 3G network locked...
I tried booting to safe mode, but instead I got to a Recovery screen written in chinese ( isn't this phone supposed to be global or European? model 2213) a few times.
This bug was seriously weird and should be investigated by oneplus. Such thing cannot happen!
Thank you all for your time and your help! Very much appreciated!
