[Q] HELP! usb connection to pc with a black screened Epic

My wifes Epic's screen went black, so she bought a new EVO at Best Buy. Well she only saved her contacts in the phone and bestbuy says that they can't retreive them without the screen working. Can someone help me try to recover her contacts? Hopefully I can get access to them through a pc but when I plug it up, the pc sees a removable drive with no disk. Can anyone help me out with a solution? Thank You.

Should be able to adb pull the data off of the phone. Unsure of how to restore said data on a different phone though. Also if you wanted you could take the phone apart and see if the connectors are loose or disconnected.

Also, the contacts were not on the sd card.

Not synced to Google account either huh?

man that's terrible. I would say make a nandroid I think titanium backup allows for contact restore? I'm not sure since I never use it. If she got another epic... it would have been super simple. Also is the phone even rooted?

Nah she's not rooted. Just a stock phone with a non working screen. Sorry I can't answer faster, I have under 10 posts.

Yikes... that's gunna be hard. Although adb should still work just need USB debugging enabled which will be difficult without a screen.

I know! Seems like when I had my Samsung Moment, there was an app or something that let you see the phone screen on the PC.
Another question, when I plug the usb cable in does it ask me if I want to enable USB debugging? And can I answer the query with the keypad arrows and the enter key?

It doesn't... I thought there was an app to display the screen... that would be great
To enable USB debugging you go into applications at the bottom is development then at the top is USB debugging. Its a a check mark you tap.

OK sounds good. The kernel issue may be any number of thinhs. For now you can just skip anything to do with boot.img and it's components (/system/modules, /system/lib/modules) and just advise users to flash a kernel of their preference after 1st boot.

[Q] Is there a way to diable the power button from waking the Note?

I would prefer to only use the home button to wake my phone. Often I am hitting the power button when adjusting the volume.
Thanks!

Are you rooted?

yes

Simple solution then.
Basically, use an app like Root Explorer (I use Rom Toolbox) to go into your system files.
The file path for what you're looking for is: system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
gpio-keys.kl is a key layout file. Editable with any text editor on your phone, however, be sure you save it with the same extension.
On the line that starts with "Key 116 POWER WAKE", simply delete the word "WAKE". Save the file (make a backup, TRUST ME). Reboot the phone.
All done.
I know this because I did it just yesterday when I kept cutting it on accidentally.
Source
EDIT::: JUST tried this myself to make sure I wasn't putting foot in mouth HOWEVER. it didn't seem to work. It works with the home key... but maybe the POWER key is a bit different. Any input from anyone else?

That's to disable home buttons wake but not the power button.

Thanks for the insight, however, I sourced that out already and tried it a dozen times and the power button still wakes the phone?

I noticed. I think the POWER function is attached to WAKE somehow.

Careful ...If you disable the power button wake feature, and mess up the file structure, you may not be able to turn the device on or off.
And a nandroid restore of the previous build will be needed.

Disabling the pwer button wont effect it from an off state. Also long press would still be intact so theres access to the power menu. You know I might be interested in this as well. Ill watch this thread unfold

I use an app that turns then phone off by gestures over the proximity sensor, or in my case when I close/open my flip cover. It's called proximity screen off pro and has an option to not recognized the power button being used at certain times, which you can set up.
Hope this helps.

No because I had some problem when I play music on cyanogenmod and rootbox mod. The music go smooth when the phone is idle. However, when I use the phone ( any app or even touch the screen ) it stops the music and plays again. IDK how to explain lol.

This is caused by touch sounds. Go to System/Sounds and disable them. It threw me for a loop and pissed me off too until I figured that out.

I don't use Rootbox ROM so I'm not sure, but most AOSP JellyBean ROM should support long press power + volume down buttons to take screenshot, just hold both down a little bit and it should take a screenshot. Some AOSP ROM has settings to include screenshot in the power menu (long press power button).

Try ROM Control >> Power Menu (this is just a guess as I said, I don't use Rootbox). If it's not there, look in Rootbox setting. Also, it's power + volume down buttons, not home button.

If you still just want the notification bar then you can ask Semorebutts123 who made the xperiaZwiz rom, it's based off the latest OTA and has an aosp like notification bar. Idk how he did it but it looks nice.

I thought I read in one of the releases that the power save option was coming, but not on the handset now.

The M8 also has a power saver mode for regular use. "You'll be surprised how long your battery lasts." Shortly after launch, there will be an extreme power saver mode, which looks like it's a simplified menu of options.

Thanks, that did sound familiar. I hope it comes with a normal power saving mode as well, but I'm sure third party apps or custom roms will help for that in the future.

No, there is an LED behind the top grill. (Mine's flashing right now). There is a powersave mode, but there will be an "extreme" powersave mode available as an update a little later on, Jason reported at today's roll out.
In an answer to an earlier question, my internal memory shows 8.92gb used of the 32g with only built-in apps updated, and nothing except Helium installed.

I've done a bit of changing things, so if I've already forgotten what's stock and what's modded, I thought in settings --> power there's a checkbox for powersave (*not* extreme powersave). It's possible I saw something here on xda that talked about a sqlite edit to a settings file that turned that on. I see you have a Skyfall signature, so assuming you're already S-OFF and rooted yourself, I'm sure you can also make that change.
