usb otg mouse with a broken display - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

My display broke, i cannot put my pin to open the device. I researched that i could control my phone using a otg cable and a mouse.
my question is that will an otg with a mouse work here in this screen. This is not the lockscreen where we put a pattern or a pin, this is the screen which comes before the phone completely turns on.
The screen reads " To start android, enter your PIN"
i know my pin, it would be so helpful to me if somebody tries to restart their phone and use a usb otg cable to connect a mouse and tell me if it works.
i have a normal otg cable and a usb type c to micro usb adapter and this is not working. i am asuming the adapter maybe the problem.

Not really on topic, but anyways: if adapter works for file transfer with normal micro USB cable, then it's not the culprit here. The problem is the OTG cable. For some reason OP3 doesn't work with many OTG cables; you'll need another one. Preferably some that is confirmed to work.

problem solved
bought another usb C otg cable and used a normal usb mouse with it, i could open the pin.
So if someones display breaks or touch stops working, u can use a usb C otg and a mouse to open up ur phones pin code and unlock it to copy your pics/videos.

hey ayman2710, could you tell me which usb c otg cable exactly worked?

so mr.ayman, I bought a usb c otg cable from amazonbasics, but I can´t connect my mouse to my OP3
i searched for the brand "remax" which u sent me, but they´re not shipping to germany. Anyways i saw OP has a OTG Cable, normally that should work?

Ehh , this is OOS .
I checked it with LOS 15.1 and otg works without any extra settings .
Do you have unlock bootloader . You can install twrp and otg should work in twrp .
Btw if you have turn on usb debugging you can copy your data from phone to pc by ADB shell commands .

I dont have unlocked bootloader and my plan is to switch usb debugging on with a mouse, which I want to connect to my OP3, but with the first adapter i tried it didn't worked..
Now I will buy a adapter from OP3 and try it again...

[Q] SGN - Encryption USB access

Hi All,
This is may be a daft question but I use my SGN as a music player as well as a phone but this afternoon I decided to encrypt it which worked great but now I cant access the phone via USB cable I presume because its encrypted. Is there anyway I can connect to copy files over to phone such as music?
The laptop gives me the message "unkown device" when the phone is plugged in.
thanks
probably it has nothing to do with encryption. Mine is encrypted and it works ok. I'd try with a different USB cable.
You have to unlock the screen at least once after plugging in the USB cable to be able to access any file though.

I tried USB Hub. But the device does not get detected. Not even power consumption error appears. when connecting PD directly with OTG. Works perfectly. But with WiFi adapter i get the error.
Can you provide me link with any Custom ROM which has fix for broken WiFi module AND camera problem. My phone has a lot of issues.
WiFi not working
"Camera not available" error
Accelerometer not working
And phone restarts sometimes.
If you got any info with this then please provide a link.
Thanks

Check your win drivers in device manager. Ensure the Mtp driver is active.

For MTP you just need a normal USB cable not OTG.

Your problem seems simular to what I had.
If you are sure the software settings are ok and that doesnt work, remove the backcover remove the battery connector, put it back again and see if that works. Does charging work?

Thats weird my s2 tablet has USb problems to. It stopped reading OTG usb connections and the PC. However it is always able to charge. I have noticed that when it does finally read on the PC it seems like the drives dont switch right and my battery wont charge. It got to the point I dont even try to plug it into a pc or USB otg just incase it quits charging I have SD card and twrp for installs so I use that instead. Most be a problem with the usb port and drivers.

I dont know the answer nor the solution.
What I noticed however is that I used my tablet as an monitor for an USB web cam.
The problem (charging but not being able to connect to PC) started AFTER I removed the webcam.
The app I use (USB Camera Pro) has an option "remove camera safely"
If I use that option everything works fine but if I remove the cam cable without pressing this option I cant connect to my PC anymore and have to unplug the battery.
I am having a similar issue and would be grateful for help. My Tab T815 has a clean install of the latest Android 10 Rom and Pico Gapps via TWRP 3.4. All seem to be working great apart from the USB OTG. Specifically, I am trying to connect my DJI Mini drone controller and it's not registering it plugged in. I also have Android 10 on a galaxy S5 and have no issues at all when I connect the DJI controller to the phone. I have run a diagnostic app that says OTG is compatible with the T815 so am now at a loss on what to try next. Could this be an issue with the Rom?
