Does anyone know how to bypass the activation screen on the HTC Droid Incredible 2???
if you try to activate, hit back make it fail. repeat for at least 3 times and it should let you skip activation.
if that doesn't work you could use cdma workshop

That didnt work.
Tried everything to bypass. No other ideas?
Something I found in a Google search:
When you get the screen to tap on the Android to start the process, tap around the edges of the screen, starting top left, then top right, then bottom right, then bottom left. Puts you into a different screen that ultimately allows you to work your way out of it.
I don't know if this works with the DINC2, but it did work for my D2G, and the link I found it at was for a completely different phone.
That didnt work either. I am not to sure why it is different from Motorola and HTC. It is still an Android Os. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
Does it dump you into a different screen at all?
I cant get past the dial *228 to activate screen
You want the screen just before that. The very first screen. I'm getting ready to test on mine..
the first screen is the lock screen then it goes to the select language screen. then it tries to call *228 and it cannot activate because i am out of the country.
I see now. VZW activated mine when I was in store, so I didn't see this portion. It's different from my D2G. Looking to see if I can figure a way around it real quick.
If you could I would appreciate it alot. I have been racking my brain for days.
Does the phone try to do the activation phone call at all? I tried it three times, and ended the call all three times, and it allowed me to bypass activation. I can try to do a video if you'd like.
It does try. But for some reason it will not bypass. If your phone has been activated before then it works fine. But since i havent had it activated I cant bypass it.
Learn something new every day. Odd that it works like that. Sorry for getting your hopes up. Those are the only things I can think of.
The only way for anyone to see what I am talking about is to do a master reset on the phone. If anyone does it and it works please post a video so I can see what I may be doing wrong. Thanks to all that are trying to assist.
Master reset, as in factory reset? If it's different, and you can point me to how, I'll go ahead and do it.
The easiest way to do it is to hold the power button and hit restart. Once the unit is off hold the volume down key and a white screen appears. Factory reset is the 3rd option I believe so just use the volume key down and hit the power button. It takes a few minutes to reset.
Just sent you a PM.
Have to watch it later. Bad reception at work
About three weeks ago my launch Epic 4G Touch got its power button stuck on. In the weeks prior I had had occasional glitches where pressing the power button would turn on the flashlight (an AOKP feature where if you hold the power button from off, it turns on the light), or when pressing it to put it in sleep I'd get the power-off menu. And occasionally it would get worse, where pressing the power button would lead to the entire phone shutting off and restarting after a few seconds, as though I had held the power button down the whole time. Anyway, as I said, it finally reached the point where the button was apparently stuck sending the On signal the entire time. And it was clearly hardware-level, as if I'd pull the battery and put it back in it would INSTANTLY power itself back on.
I took it to the Sprint store, they reviewed it, couldn't fix it, and ordered me a replacement which arrived a few days later. I've had that replacement for about two weeks now without any hardware problems. I did switch to AOKP again, but I've had no issues whatsoever.
Until today, when it progressed through all the above-mentioned symptoms and all the way to stuck ON permanently, in the span of a few hours.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any logical reason to suspect this could be a fault of the sofware I've installed? I've never heard this symptom before, which makes me think it's extremely unlikely or others would have caused it, plus the power-on from battery implies to me this can't possibly be a software issue. But I want to be sure before I get it replaced yet AGAIN and cause it again, or have the store try to blame my custom ROM (they never said a word last time).
Help?
EDIT: Pretty confident I just confirmed it's a hardware problem. I booted into CWM to try to make a backup so I could flash to stock and confirm it wasn't software. The power button of course didn't work in CWM either. What I hadn't thought of is that I couldn't get back OUT of CWM without the power button. Even a battery pull would put me right back into it. I finally get desperate and yanked the battery and banged the phone on the desk against its power button a few times, then put the battery back in and the phone didn't power itself back on. I then hit the power button, booted to CWM, and managed to use the power button to reboot to system. So that confirms it's hardware to me. So I guess the question shifts to: two phones in a row with this problem, and I've never seen it mentioned before. Am I just incredibly unlucky, or have others experienced this? Second: anyone successfully manage to use a scenario like this to talk them into a different phone? I'm not loving this chain of events, and I'm not loving to hack my phone to get a good stock experience. I'd really love to switch to a Galaxy Nexus. Any tips?
I have the same problem just got it today....Really need to fix this

Seen a couple different threads about power button. Someone took it in to be repaired/replaced only to have it go bad again later. I guess I have gotten lucky, there was a good while that my power button liked to stick and not function properly. It went away one time after I accidentally left my phone in a hot car. I suppose my issue could have been from something sticky being spilled on the phone though.

My wife's s3 shut itself down a few days ago and now it's stuck in a boot loop. It was on rooted stock 4.1.
It will not fully boot into the system, trying to get into recovery will barely let you see the recovery screen before it cuts off, and getting into download mode will turn off after about 20 sec.
I'd love to be able to savage some things from the device, but I'm lost as to what I could try now.

Sounds like a faulty/stuck power button. A common thing these days. Open the device and play with the switch a little. Ive seen several people say this fixed it temporarily. Doesn't work for everyone though. If it is the button, the only permanent fix is to replace the part. Only a few bucks online and I dont believe its too difficult to do.
Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately it didn't help me. Took it apart, physical button actuates fine, switch underneath seems to click and return ok. Blew compressed air to be sure nothing's making it stick, button and switch. When I got it back together, except for actually having recovery load up for a few sec (once), it is behaving the same way.
Seeing as I have no soldering experience or equipment and we have already got my wife another device, I may just call it dead.
Thanks again for the help.

Sorry I cant be of better help for that. If you want to do a quick test though, just so you know for sure....
Take out the battery, then put it back in and wait a few moments. If it turns on by itself, its almost definitely a power switch gone bad.
Hello,
I was looking through the XDA, but haven't found anything similar, so I hope somebody could have an idea what could it be.
First of all, phone is HTC One X-32GB International version.
Few days ago, I noticed that after some idle time, my HOX touch screen becomes unresponsive.At first, I didn't pay too much attention, because everything was fine after restar by power button, but problem continued to repeat.I thought it could be because of the heavy use, so I started to disable app by app but nothing changed.I restarted it several times after that and noticed that if I try side buttons, they show volume is going up and down when I press them.Also a big screen clock is normally working, so my next guess was that maybe a factory reset would solve the problem,but it didn't.
So what i shappenintg?
When I surf the net,or dialling numbers,or whatever else, everything works fine to the moment I stop touching it and leave it idle for a while.After few minutes, screen is unresponsive, doesn't matter if I put screenlock on or of.I can't even answer the call when it rings.Everything looks just as it should look,but is unresponsive.Except side buttons.Then again I have to restart it with long press power button.If I don't touch the screen after phone restarts, after minute or two it goes to unresponsive state again.
I hope somebody has idea what could or what should I do.
Thanks in advance
*update
Sometimes helps if I press power button...
*update 2
Now it's not helping any more if I press power button, seems that power button is not reacting at all sometimes, only if I hold him long enough to restart it.
In fact, now even restart is not helping.
I'm sorry, what ROM do you have? And do you have sweep2wake function on? 'cause I also have had problems with touch, when s2w was on, but I am not sure, what was the ROM that time...

It's a stock ROM-And sweep2wake is not on.
Have no idea what else to try.I tried to unlock bootloader,put CWM in because you can control it with buttons, made a backup of everything to USB, format everything, put everything back, but problem is still here.Now I also noticed that it has a delay when push power button for example when I press it screen goes off immidiately,but when I press it again, sometimes it takes 20 seconds just to turn screen on again.And of course, it still not reacting.
Now my last hope is that a ROM became corrupted somehow,so I will try to delete everything, and put some other ROM in.
Since, I am a noob, there will be a lot reading for me .
Everything wiped, unboxed ROM on, and a problem still persists.
Newest discovery:if I twist upper right corner a little bit, everything works fine.

Open up your phone and check the connector for the digitizer is properly connected, even remove it and blow into the connector to make sure there's no dust causing problems.
You can test the screen response before putting the back cover on again, its pretty easy and there are videos on YouTube showing how to remove the back, good luck.

I found some time to open it yesterday evening, and connectors are as they should be.I also tried to remove them, and blow them out, but no use.
Thank you anyway.
I think I will sell it like this for parts.
So hello community !
I have an OPPO Find 7 device, and I love, but happens that I have some problem with it, let me explain it best I can
It turns out that I simply cant Power ON the device, no matter what I try, no matter what combinations of key I am using or so. Let me explain better.
As I was using one day my phone standard it happened the lock/power key doesn't respond every time I press it, and it was so, sometimes the phone reacted to the button some times didn't. One day I had the device, and forgot to charge it, and it went completely off, so I can't even boot it up. Went to an mobile center, where they repair mobiles or so, it is small place, I explained them what is the problem, they told me it is the button power supply or so, and fixed it. That was nice, finally I had my OPPO again. After 2 or 3 weeks, again the same problem with the button didn't responded and I again took it with me and gave it to the person that fixed it the first time. They said the it is kinda complicated or so, I took it to other place to see if they could fixed it, they told me it is the POWER SUPPLY to the POWER/LOCK key. It is a waste this phone to throw it in garbage because one maybe small problem if you ask me .
Hopefully someone will see this and reply to me, I still have the phone just cant power it on.
P.S The battery is fine, the charger is fine, tried every combinations of key (just the power key doesn't seem to reply in any way or it cant get power supply). I have some minor knowledge in phone's I can tear it down but I need help or maybe solutions from you guys. Thanks again !
Still no-one that can help me maybe somehow

Hi, do you still have this issue?
Did you just upgrade your phone before this happen?
Yes I still have this issue, I didn't upgrade my phone before this issue. I don't think it is an software error tho....
Got my phone still sitting in my shale
I was facing similar problem, but in my case I cannot charge the phone, and it turn out to be software problem during upgrade.
I went to oppo service center and they re-flash with the latest ColorOS then my phone back to normal.
I thought if you just upgrade your phone, you might face same issue like what I was. Or maybe you can try to go to oppo service center?
Try this. http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067
If its software related this will fix it. If it doesnt I dont know anymore.

Sorry, didn't realized you replied my comment already. Since you purchased your device from Oppostyle, i would suggest you to do RMA. However, the process is going to take quite a long time.
