My touchscreen suddenly stopped working, and I have a lock code on my phone. Is there any way to unlock it with only the keyboard??
This is the lock screen I have:

Try Pulling Your Stylus Out Or Slide The Keyboard Open 1 Of These Should Work!!!

What happens when you slide out your keyboard? It should unlock the phone.
I have a password, sliding out the keyboard only rotates that screen to horizontal, I still have to slide it. I lost my stylus a long time ago, is there any way to trick the sensor?

I don't use a password on mine; sliding out the keyboard brings it out of lock.
Try putting in the password via the keyboard after you slide it open.
BTW replacement stylus are really cheap on ebay or amazon.
Try using MyMobiler - you can then connect to your PC and operate your mob from a PC window.
just throwing this out there
I just had this happen to one of the phones at my office. I could not get past this lock screen (btw this phone is crap). Unfortunately for me and the guy we had to completely wipe the phone to make it work.
Remove the battery hold down the "send" and the "end" buttons and when you are sure that they are sufficiently held down press and hold the power button and get ready with the volume up button just in case the phone decides it doesn't want you to reset it (I did this about 8 times before I could get it to wipe). Once this is done go through the initial setup and enjoydelay banging your head against the desk for a few weeks.
The only downside to this is that everything is gone, the upside . . . you can now use your phone.
that's all I got
Oh yea put the battery back in after you remove it otherwise no dice.
there is also a really good desktop program called mDesktop that interfaces beautifully with the phone and lets you see and interact with the screen using your mouse.. It is also a very lightweight program only exe, no install necessary.

Hey guys,
Recently I dropped my Artemis . No screen damage luckily only button damage, so the problem is that my left softwarekey, my green telephone key, and the navigation button won't respond everytime I push them. See beneith (red=broken):

I need to click like 20 times fast and then suddenly the three buttons work again, but as you can imagine that's quite annoying. I don't feel like taking the cover off because it's not that easy, I reflashed many roms to check if it was a software problem but it's definetely a hardware problem. I think the two metal connectors don't connect if i push one of those three buttons, only after 20 times or so. Do you guys have any idea's on how to fix this?
And if not, is it possible to make a shortcut on the Today screen that directs me to the dialer screen because I can't access it with my broken Green Phone button?
Thanks already

You have 2 solutions:
This adds a new icon in your Home plugin
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\Windows\cprog.lnk"
"LaunchApPath"="\Windows\cprog.lnk"
This changes "contacts" to "phone" (112 for Calendar) softkey, just use touch screen
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="Phone"
"Open"="\Windows\cprog.lnk"
Thank you, that did the trick . It's a nice thing that the touch rom doesn't really need the buttons, you can manage and control almost everythin with HTC Home.
Now RollR is the problem
Suddenly all three buttons began to function normal again. But now my UP direction and MOUSE CLICK are not working anymore. The fact that my mouseclick is not working is really annoying because I use it a lot.
I think the problem is a software problem, because my mouse worked good before. I tried many different roms , official HTC, Premium, Touch. But still my mouse click and up direction are not working.
I don't feel like sending the phone in because that would be the third time to send it in for repair .
Can somebody help??
Thanks already

The third time??? Your Artemis is very unlucky!
I think it's an hardware problem, perhaps it's broken a contact in the board, or a littel piece of metal inerrupts some contact (first the three keys and now the mouse).
Try to open your Artemis...
If the problem persists after hard reset and after flashing other ROMs... it's definitely hardware problem. You must send it to service.
Hi guys, I am not sure if it's the place I should post this, if not mods plz move my thread to the appropriated message board.
Recently my phone fell off my desk head on. Right on the top of the phone. Now the button on/off is not functioning. I can still use the phone but as soon as it close the screen I can't light it up again. In the options I manage the let the screen open at all time but...
Bell is asking for a couple hundred bucks for repair or couple hundred to cancel my contract.
I was wondering if it was possible to some how make the camera button the on/off fonction.
I haven't open the phone yet (screws) to check the damage internally, I may be able to fix it but I doubt it.
I'll post pictures later tomorrow.
Do you guys have any ideas?
yes, check out AE button plus, you can't set it to power on the phone however you can set it to power the screen on and off. However to turn the screen on with a button other then the power button you must change the settings in key lock under settings/system/key lock you must set it do not lock buttons, otherwise no button will function, the only thing is that your call end buttons work as well.
get AE button plus
set whatever button to power on/off the backlight
disable key lock on screen power off
good luck
wow jeez thx.
I had a very hard time to find it for free so here's the cab

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did and I fixed it.
1. Take the battery cover off
2. Look at where the power button is, if you look closely you will the the button "hinges on the right side"

I like the idea that the lock screen can take you straight to the camera. But with the standard slide to unlock, I found my phone unlocks in my pocket and calls people.
So, how about being able to set two (or more!) lock patterns - one to take you home, another straight into the camera?
With AOKP, you can do up to 8 different things on the lockscreen (straight to camera, straight to SMS, etc.). Try that out.

Wait...what? How does it unlock in your pocket? The screen isn't nearly sensitive enough to pick up touches on your leg through the pocket lining (unless you're wearing dress pants), but even if it were it doesn't pick up large touches in that way. It shouldn't be able to unlock at all...unless maybe you're leaving open an app that has a Menu button, since that still displays on the lock screen and pressing it once will unlock the phone.
Like the other guy said, check out AOKP. I think there might be a way to set up the combination lock like that.
They should have a little toggle. Something which you tap before entering your unlock pattern, and then it will take you straight to the camera. Something like this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

A small toggle on the lockscreen with the pattern would be awesome. Something similar to what Moto's done on their lockscreen with the RAZR

Unless I'm missing something in AOKP, I think you're referring to the regular unlock method, not the pattern unlock. The OP is curious about having two different patterns with two different launch results.
+1 this is a good idea
Hello,
My N7100's a little too sensitive to rotation on the right. This just started happening 2 days ago, out of the blue. For the left side, I have to rotate my phone properly into landscape mode but to the right, even if it is tilted 1/8th of an inch e.g. while picking phone up, switching hands or left handed operation, it will suddenly rotate to landscape.
I have tried calibrating the gyroscope some 10 times but to no avail.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!
SOLVED: Read post #8
No one?
It's a bug in samsung touchwiz (4.1.2)..I have it too only solution I got was to use ultimate rotation control it will help or else if you can wait for samsung to fix it in 4.2.2
Here's the app link I hope it helps

@mufaddalezzi Thank you for your reply. However, my problem has not been solved by the app since it doesnt adjust the sensor.
My problem:
Phone thinks its tilted to the right while it is only 5-6 degrees to the right. I cant play games that require motion sensing such as Temple run because the character is running to the right with the phone being perfectly straight.
XDA, i need your help!
P.s: i tried restoring to an older nandroid backup from TWRP but to no avail
Tried. Calibration from the service menu at *#0*# under Sensors and again, no help. This wathe post that fixedit for someone else

Maybe it's a hardware failure(accelerometer or gyroscope)..that means you might need to change/replace it

Sure? I am not covered by warranty and would hate to sell my phone the gyro works fine its just that the calibration of it is wrong, the phone thinks it is tilted slightly to the right
I figured it out. For anyone else with this problem:
1) Boot phone into safe mode (Turn phone off and turn it back on. As soon as animation starts press and hold volume down button - It should say SAFE MODE in the lower left corner of the screen when turned on)
2) Reboot phone
Voila!
Mystery solved. Case closed.
Hey guys, I've had my phone for a day or so now and just wanted to list some bugs I've found and see if anyone else has experienced them.
When hanging up a phone call my wallpaper is the application settings screen of a random app (reboot fixes)
Sometimes the screen randomly turns itself on
Sometimes after leaving an email (Touchdown Exchange mail) when I press back I am brought to the application settings screen of a random app
When I get a notification and attempt to open it on the lockscreen the lockscreen becomes a rectangle about 3/4 the size of the screen which is empty and I need to swipe within that to open the app that the notification came from
I will add more as I come across them but just wondering if anyone else has experienced those same bugs/glitches. Thanks!
Not a bug but I cant seem to hide folders in my gallery
Verizon g4 here, i have none of those problems except the last one i thought that was normal my g3 did that as well

I guess that's not a bug then per se but it is ugly none the less.
I am having issues with my wifi. It will show connected, but will not connect to internet. If I turn off/on wifi, it will work again. I have tried on a airport extreme and anetgear extender. Same issue on both.
My screen is randomly turning itself on and off very quickly sometimes.
Number three is normal, it's the same on g3. Lg changed it from stick Android where a simple double tap would open the notification. However . If you excited the notifications first, then tapping it goes straight to the app, without swiping.
Hey Verizon people, are you all seeing - when using a lock screen setup (not just swipe) like knock code or pin or pattern - the ugly Emergency Call button?

I'm guessing it's a Verizon thing... I have that on my KitKat Droid Razr M.
I have Verizon and have the Emergency Call on mine as well.
This is going to sound weird but I hope someone can help. Only on my phone and only on WiFi i cant use Amazon. It shows no connection in the app and only lets me go to the sign on screen in the browser. Every other site is functional.
