[Q] Screen Fail - Pin lock Screen Sought! - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
After a short 2 weeks my LG v500 screen has failed. Hence a return is necessary. BUT....I can't do a hardware reset as I can't see anything...
I need to be able to at least connect it to the PC. But this requires I enter my pin lock code (which is near impossible with no screen). Can anyone post a pic with the pin lock screen so I might try to make a template up to press the right areas of the screen?
It's a long shot but hey, worth a go!
Hope someone can help.
Thanks!
Chris.

Are you running the stock ROM? I'm on Mahdi ROM, so I don't think my PIN lock screen looks the same. I'm sure it's not as the LG one was much bigger.

Why worry about it?
If you can't see the screen.. whatever Tech receives you defective unit will not be able to see the screen either.. They'll write a ticket up for it and just replace the unit..

My Diamond is finished?

My phone can not be used anymore.The scren is not sensitive
and can not pass alignment phase. In conclusion the phone is
useless. It is a question softwer or hardwer? Can I connect
to the computer, I can put a new ROM, but can not exceed the
phase alignment screen because the screen does not notify any
touch. Can someone help me?
Install the original rom came with your device, Than HSPL can find them here

Make sure they don't realize you changed the os.
Than return it for RMA or warranty!

Hey give it another go, when I flash my diamond on first boot I have to really bang the screen with the stylus quite a few times in the same spot before it recognises the press, the same with the second one it seems to be fine after that and as long as you press in the same spot as the little cross hair your screen alignment should be fine, give it a go.

:( So Today I Woke Up To A...

Dead Touchscreen, i said to myself its not a big deal i can live without it until i take it to tmobile to get fix. Five Min later got a text and i can't even click send to reply to the text now i honestly need the touchscreen... any alternative way to hit send?
dont just view it reply to it please...
Hello,
maybe this has a simple solution:
I had a dead touchscreen some days ago, even a reset didn't help. Then I removed the screen protector foil (Martin Fields) and everything was fine. Somehow the screen protector continuously triggered the touchscreen at one point so no other input was possible.
If you use a screen protector, try to remove it. Or try a hardreset.
If all else fails, you'll have to send your device in for fixing it. Until then, maybe you can get along with a software called MyMobiler. It lets you use the Phone right from your Computer via ActiveSync. So you should be able to send a message but I dont know if you get it installed without the use of touchscreen.

i know a program called Dashwire that works the same way but threw your Internet browser, and i think ur right about the screen part, at one point my screen kinda flex in when touch , now it sit flat.
Edit: There are ways to remap the keys http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91134&highlight=remap+hardware+keys
That tip about removing the screen protector was spot on.
My TP2 is working again, I was worried for a couple of days
Thanks!

[Q] Help, screen is broken & need to factory reset

I don't know how this happened because my G2 is only a month old & looks like it's brand new but the screen stopped working and there are vertical lines up & down it. T-Mobile has sent a new phone on it's way, but I don't want to send the old one back before factory resetting because it still has personal info, etc. So, basically I need the keystrokes for a factory reset.
Here's what I have so far:
1. Hold "vol down + power" to turn on phone.
2. ??????
3. Factory reset
Again, I just need the keystrokes here.
Thanks so much!
2. wait about 5-10 seconds, then press volume down twice, then press power.
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I won't be able to confirm. Too bad they don't have hdmi output so I could verify, but such is life.
Same Problem
Just wanted to post that I left my brand new g2 in my coat pocket a few nights ago and when I grabbed it out a couple hours later the SAME THING HAD HAPPENED.
Lines up and down screen. I could not figure out how to reset it. I went to TMobile and exchanged it for a MT4G, which I am really liking so far.
Anyone else experiencing this problem???
Yes, it was very odd to not have my screen working. I didn't get it wet or traumatize it in any way.
When I called T-mobile to request a replacement, they had me pull the battery & verify a white dot underneath was still white. I suppose that's the modern day canary in the coalmine to verify I didn't break warranty terms.
i saw this problem the other day, not sure what is causing it but the phone i saw it on was a "authorized" reseller for tmo and was going out of business

Yep. It turns red of your phone has gotten wet at all. It's an evil little thing.

if you havnt rooted your devices and since it is only 3 months past, your phone would be in warranty period so according to me the best you should do is go to the authorized service center and just ask for a replacement
i wasnt able to sign in from my ze550ml after update so i gave my phone to the service center and replaced it with a new one a few days ago
may be this would help you out give it a try :good:
I have done that. Asus send my the RMA to Shipp it, let's see what happens after that. And no it wasn't rooted. Thanks
One thing that may cause touch screen to behave erratically is TalkBack being enabled. With TalkBack enabled the touch screen may behave differently and appear to be defective. Instead one tap it may require double tap to open an item or when swiping it may require using two fingers instead of one. Go to Apps/Settings/Accessibility/TalkBack/Off (do not turn on if already off). For more information regarding TalkBack please see http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1012384/

Data recovery from broken screen note 8

As the title suggests, my screen is inoperable but I can hear notifications come through, so it's booting up. Any way to get unbacked data off of it?

I'd say plug it in to the computer and try getting into the phone.. You might have to tap on the screen even though it's broken it could probably still accept touch and you'll need to try to tap "ok" in order to get access or you'll have to try to use smart switch app to try.
The screen is unresponsive, I can't even try to guess where the buttons are to enter the pin

Your best bet is try to find a screen then.. I had that problem 1 time in my life and I found a screen on Ebay that was cracked pretty badly but it still worked and it allowed me to at least connect it and get my stuff transferred.. You should also check your gmail account because the Google account you have a lot of the phones backup themselves automatically and you might be able to get it back onto another phone.

I would be able to help you get what you need off the phone if youre in the NJ area. Ive been able to help out people in similar situations before. Just let me know if you have exhausted other options and you dont mind handing over your phone temporarily to a complete stranger . Seriously though, I can see if I can help.
