Xperia Play broken screen. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey fellasĀ“!
A while ago i discovered a crack in the screen of my xplay. I donĀ“t know what caused it as it happened while i was away :/. Anyway the screen is not responsive at all but the colors looks clean and normal as they should. If i could just get past the lockscreen i would be able to use the gamepad to navigate through the menus and so on. My question is: Can i deactivate the lockscreen with adb or similar? Maybe find a way to simulate touch commands to my beloved phone with a computer? I am thankful to any answer!

screen rotation problem

Hi guys, another problem I need help on. Since this mornng I have been having problems with the screen rotation. especially when using the internet, if i change from portrait to landscape mode the screen will change to the introduction page of the internet tab on touch flo. The same happens when I work with a spreadsheet and flip the keyboard out.
Does anybody know whats happening?
Did you installed any other stuff like tweak, background for all etc?
i've installed coreplayer yesterday
I don't know what happened but it was sorted with a soft reset

Enable WiFi Tethering over ADB

Is there anyway I can enable wifi tethering over adb. I rely on my G2 for internet access and my screen recently quit working. So I was wondering is there anyway to turn on tethering so that I can have internet access when my roomate isn't here with his blackberry.
As far as I know, there isn't really a way to get tethering working with only ADB. Can you explain specifically what doesn't work, the touch screen or the LCD itself? If it's the lcd and you can still touch it, then I suggest using the SDK screenshot tool to help you set up one of the quick keys as a shortcut to the tether app/service. If it's the touch screen, then you might still be able to use the trackpad to set the quick keys also.
Also, I suspect something might be wrong with your data ribbon beneath the hinge, are you sure it's not disconnected?
i believe the G2 still has the input command, and the android SDK has a way of taking screen shots, so you can either do adb shell input key xx where xx is the key number value on the phone(can be found by using clockwork and finding keytest), also my syntax there may be off, adb shell into the phone and type input and see what the phone says the syntax should be. and if the screen is broke you can take screenshots of what "should" be on the screen and move around that way.
Thanks for the help everyone, but I got tired of not having internet i ended up trying to touch it from memory and got it right on the first try. There isn't any damage to either screen, it just quit working while it was in my pocket. I figured it was probably the data cable since I can move the screen up and down a couple times and the screen will change from all white to all black or some other color. I'm not planning on messing with it too much. i have a warranty replacement coming in on the 1st and i'll just wipe it through fastboot and send it in

[Q] Screen locked - hardware issue need work around

My touch screen won't respond to touch or the stylist. This just happened but I am beginning to see some bleed on the screen so I know it's a hardware issue.
Got a new one coming to replace it but here's my problem. My settings are set to automatically lock the screen after a period of time for security reasons and to help prevent pocket calls! Does anyone know a work around with the keyboard to unlock the screen?
Most of the software I loaded is on my PC but whenever I rebuild a phone it's always good to look at what is in the thing via "remove program" option. Needless to say, I can't get there without unlocking the screen.
I tried my magic wand and threatened the phone by telling it I was going to replace it with an iPhone but so far... nothing works.
Thanks,
Rick
The lockscreens are based on touch input. The only option I know of to recover your data is to replace the digitizer.
AFAIK, doing that on Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock is completely impossible. If you can get past the slider screen, you can use the numbers on your TP2 keypad and press enter. But I'm running 6.1 (makes me feel better being used to ye olde Pocket PCs), so I can't verify anything.

HELP with ADW Launcher??

I've searched around but doesn't look like people even bring these two problems up, maybe you can help?
1. Whenever my phone is locked for over 2 minutes or so, and I unlock it, it seems to lag when i swipe to another home screen for just about 1/2 second after i swipe my finger. It runs fine after that. I've tried tweaking some settings but it doesn't seem to go away. Didn't experience this on a non-sense rom. Anyone with help on that?
2. Also, I noticed that if you open the keyboard when in the home screen, it moves the entire screen up with it. Is it possible to not move the screen up? It causes problems when I'm in a messenger and press the home button with the keyboard open because the entire screen flickers. Not much of a problem, just didn't experience this before either.
Thanks for any help at all guys.
If it's the original ADWLauncher then it isn't that well optimized and with Sense, I get that little like stutter as well. Sense is just a massive ***** to load up.
I don't know how your getting your keyboard on your homescreen. By default, the keyboard moves everything up no matter what with no settings really. You can have a look in Language and Keyboard but I doubt it.

[Q] Problem with touch screen or software?

Hello
I'd like to ask yu for advice - since few days I saw a problem with my HOX. Randomly I cannot unlock the screen - ring on the screen cannot be moved over the icons to unlock the screen. Entering Settings from upper slide bar and closing it helps to unlock it. Then I saw, that sometimes screen is shaking, some applications are starting, like the icons were touched, but they weren't physically. It like I wrote - random. It appears few times daily.
Can it be that I have to swap touch screen or problem is somewhere else?
Phone is rooted, with latest Android Revolution ROM on it.
Thank you in advance for all suggestions.
Regards
