Hey,
I broke the screen of my Mi 9 SE, seems the touch and fingerprint is also not working. But the device lives, I can hear messages incomming, charging makes a noise, programmed alarms work fine (but can't be stopped, d'oh).
I would like to guestimate my lockscreen pattern to unlock my phone and get adb + scrcpy back running. But can I connect a mouse via USB-OTG? I tested it on other non Xiaomi Phones, there it works. But I don't hear any noise when I connect the USB OTG with the mouse.
Cheers
Kobi-P
I just tried with my otg and mouse is working normally
But it doesn't make any sound when I connect it
@mauriciotc17 Big thank you for the clarification! Could you tell me if I can click to get the screen on? Do I need to click somewhere on the lower part and "swipe" up to get the unlock pattern? This would help me a lot to do it blindly.
Cheers

Sorry for the late reply, actually yes, you can swipe in any part to get the pattern, but if you dont have the face unlock enabled it can be a little difficult to make the pattern

Ah, ok. Then I did everything correctly, but had no luck in hitting the pattern right. You are right, face unlock would have helped me here. With my new phone I did that now.
Thank you very much for your support!

that's good. you should at least be able to turn usb debugging on. have you tried to get to the bootloader or recovery? does the screen look the same there? if so...
unlock the phone, use two fingers to pull the notification bar down, 1 inch down on the top right side is settings, tap settings, scroll to the very bottom and tap dev options, usb debugging is at about the middle of the phone.
i hope the below images will work for you. i just pulled them off of google searches. i havent used mikey's rom so i dont know if the settings are in the same places but it cant hurt to try

nope, unless you already enabled dev options you have to go into about phone, software, and tap a million times on one of the lines of info to unlock dev settings.
Then you can turn on usb debugging. Quite annoying.

Mine is working. Just tested. I get a face icon where lock is normally. Swipe that up, and phone unlocks without pin. BTW turning it off now though. Also had to hold phone pretty close to my head.

Hi.
I'm new user of LGG6. Previous i was on Nexus devices.
Is there any way so set unlocking with fingerprint ONLY? So, without additioanl pattern, PIN or smth.?
Thank you!
I found that second security is needed only first time, after device boot if you use fingerprint screen unlock.
But, if I use DT2W unclok method I have to use PIN,/pattern ...
So, any way to remove that, BUT keep fingerprint unlock?
(i know i can remove screen lock method, but than fingerprint is automaticly removd too)
I removed this kind of protection on my Nexus, but it requires root.
Just add a trusted location etc then it will unlock with no passcode and fingerprint only.

Are you locking the phone using an app (like Nova Launcher) to double-tap to lock/sleep? if yes, then double tap the status bar to sleep. then you can wake the phone using fingerprint only.

Ok, this is partial solution ... Just for added locations.

Also add a trusted device like a BT watch or I'm sure there is a always on you option. Detects when you have phone with you.

Yap, I'm using NL.
Thanks! Nice solution, but it 'll be hard to get used to use just status bar to lock.
The best solution is this one, but it only works if you are rooted (+twrp) and i'm not sure if last root method allow to chainging files on /system partition:
Then while still in TWRP go delete /data/system/locksettings.db
This should let you swipe to unlock your phone. Your fingerprints will still be saved and can be used once you set up a secure lock screen
Beside I would like to stay without root if it's not necessary.

Ok, now I set "on body detection" ... but. That kind of smart locking only works if you don't lock phone with duble tap (over Nova launcher in my case) nut you leave phone to lock after time.
So this is usefull only if I don't lock with double tap. But I like that option and I'm using it all the time.
Thanks anyway for your time and tips.
Verizon Pixel 2....so not unlocked bootloader/root.
Someone stole my wife's phone, smashed it up, and dumped it on the side of the road. Able to find it with locate my phone. Can't unlock it because battery died and she used fingerprint unlock, so trying to find a way so we can recover pics of the kiddos at baseball. It is responding, I can feel it vibrate when trying to unlock with fingerprint....but since it was restarted it is requiring her pin code. Any ideas?
Here's the damage...

if it is locked with a pin you have a chance if a pattern you are out of luck.
here is where to start
get your otg adapter from the box plug in a keyboard.
try to unlock with fingerprint
enter pin on keyboard
if it works from there i will tell you key combos to do what you want
It is locked by pin, but I don't have a keyboard. I'll see if I can find one in the next few days here to give it a shot

a keyboard mouse combo like this could be useful https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014EUQOGK/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
i just tested with it the old version of it
google has made this alot harder compared to when the app drawer had a button but im able to get to settings and open apps idk what you want to from there usb debugging maybe idk
also google play has a feature to remote install apps in you are on the same google account if you know a good screen mirroring app or similar

Thanks for all the info. She has a tablet with the same account on it, so I'll see if I can get it to install a screen mirroring app.
Ok, got a keyboard/mouse combo on the way. I shouldn't need much, besides getting it to unlock to be able to pull what I need...but just in case if you know the shortcuts to get to USB debugging, or even better, to get to screen casting, and could post them, that would be awesome.

Hi there
I just switched from a Asus Zenfone 5z which has a dedicated fingerprint sensor. So one touch and you ard on home screen.
Now the fingerprint sensor on Note 10 + is slow, also the fact that one has to first click the side key and then put the finger on the screen and seemingly wait for 2 sec.
It is nowhere near as fast as the zenfone 5z.
Have you guys got any better solution or idea to unlock it fast.
Thank you for your time.

You don't exactly have to turn on phone to use fingerprint reader.
If you know the position of fingerprint reader then putting your finger there would turn on and unlock phone. But that would be if you can get it on right position. If not it would tell you and then you can readjust as it will then show you.
Other option would be to have always on display and would show position of fingerprint reader.
You can also double tap to wake up phone as well. Then go through same process.
Hope some others could add more but these has been what I've found out with my usage.

Enable the gesture "lift to wake"
Enable "always on display" so that you always see the finger print location.
What ever finger you use most for the finger print, scan it for 2 spots out of the 4 available. So I have my left thumb for 1, right pointer for 2, and right Thumb for 3 and 4. My right thumb is now always solidly fast.

1. Please clarify : Do you mean to register the same right thumb twice to increase accuracy of the right thumb, as that is what I mostly use.
2. Currently always on display is set as tap to show.
Does making it always show have any significant reduction in battery.
And that you for your time, you are very helpfull.

Didn't even know that I had to just press the locked screen.
Also thank you for recommending the lift to wake up gesture, has increased the speed a lot.
Still wondering if I can use NFC to keep it unlocked as it is always kept on a phone stand.
Many thanks for your time.

You can use Smart lock Trusted places under settings-lock screen to keep phone unlocked. You just have to turn on phone then just swipe to go into phone without password but it will lock after a certain timeframe if not used.

I do know about Smart Lock but prefer not to use it as keeping the GPS on does feed the location data to other apps as well, not something I prefer to give away.
Thank you for the recommendation though.
You can register your face as well. It works really fast with lift to wake up gesture.
Smart lock can be used without GPS on, it uses a trusted wifi network to keep the phone unlocked or, if you have one a bluetooth speaker...
Don't need GPS at all...
Another vote for smart lock but with a wearable like a wear os watch. I pretty much never have to unlock my phone.
In case helpful to someone else, I enabled the increase touch sensitivity setting under Display settings and the fingerprint seems to work much quicker as I don't have to press down harder.

#1 YES
#2 It's a 4300mah battery, the AOD doesn't even dent it.
Happy to help!
I have AOD set to always on, and it is super easy to unlock.
I pick up the phone, hold my thumb on the sensor and it is unlocked instantly. I don't see how it could get any better than that!

Yes I turned ut on as well as the phone comes with a factory applied screen protector and that is what that setting seems to be for. Should have been on by default.
