Hi,
Is there some special process needed for removing the phone from the lapdock?
After I pull it out it still seems to think it's connected and hangs/shows a cursor and other relics of the webtop interface
Ideas?...

Yesterday I rooted my LG Thrive (part of the Optimus One family) and everything went fine. I was playing around with overclocking and removing bloatware using ROM Toolbox. Eventually however, I realized I wanted to remove some AT&T bloatware apps from initial startup. I was able to disable some through the program, but when doing so the app was freezing and I would just press the zoom button to return and then continue disabling additional apps. In doing so however, I'm certain this messed things up big time. I restarted my phone to see if these disabled apps would still start. The unlock screen came up but the touchscreen was inactive (it wouldn't respond to touch anywhere) as were any of the buttons on the phone (even the power button). I'm guessing I disabled quite an important startup service somehow along the lines. This is the same situtation in safe mode.
I was able to unlock the phone if I receive a text or call, then the touchscreen becomes active and allows me to unlock and use the phone. However, there is no desktop - it's a black screen with taskbar on top. The messaging app works as well as the device receives emails. But aside from the taskbar on the top, there's nothing.
I don't know where to go from here. Do I just try to install cyanogenmod over everything - if so, could someone point me in the right direciton? (I'm running a linux system as my desktop in case someone suggets a program to use for flashing). Or is there a simple fix to this issue I caused?
Thanks everyone!
So, a customer came in with a bit of an predicament.
Needs SMS saved, but the touch screen is completely dead.
All the physical buttons work and the soft back button, otherwise the entire touch part is broken.
Any way I can pull this from ADB?
I don't think so, but try to install http://androidwebkey.com/ to the phone and run it to allow you to use the mouse to control the phone
I use My Phone Explorer a lot. It`s at www.fjsoft.at and is very handy for doing SMS`s (including backing them up in a .text file and others) through the PC.
The phone does have to USB Debugging enabled though.

hi there,
just wondering if an App or ROM editing can allow you to start a phone (besides charging) like if you pressed 'ON' button.
thanks in advance
Currently, there is an App (wakey droid) that requires a PC and console commands to do it, but thats is not the case; I mean by any electric USB signal
Greetings fellow techno-wizards! Got a big problem that I'm hoping you can help me with.
Long story short, my trusty Pixel 2 had one too many drops, now the screen won't turn on and won't respond to touch. The logic board is operating, and I haven't rebooted since then, so I can unlock with the fingerprint sensor.
I plan on getting an Pixel 5 when it releases, and have an LTE Tablet to limp along until then.
My biggest problem is authenticators on my phone that I may or maynot have the backup QR code for, as well as many other things I'd like to get off the phone before I retire it.
I have the following things at my disposal:
Pixel 2, with USB Debugging turned on, and recently trusted the PC. No screen, no touchscreen.
WearOS watch paired to phone (can get notifications and texts)
Bluetooth Mouse
Wired mouse with USB to USB C adapter
Chromecast
Win PC with Scrcpy installed, already tried to use it to show the screen on the PC, I'm guessing its been too long and I have to press a notification to trust the PC.
The Goal:
To cast the screen to a chromecast and pair a bluetooth mouse, and/or get Scrcpy working by accepting the dialog that I can't see. This would allow me to use the migrate tool to the new phone I will eventually get.
I tried long ago to use a USB C to HDMI adapter, that doesn't work. Google wants you to use a Chromecast for such things (Thanks a ton Google )
The thing I need to figure out next is how to use ADB to force the phone to start casting to a Chromecast, or to remotely accept the dialog. The wired mouse with adapter should work to control the phone instead of the touchscreen, but without any video out, I'm clicking blindly. The microphones are working, but I've never tried to command the assistant to start casting before.
Can anyone suggest the next step I should try?
Just had a thought, there are accessibility features for blind people that would let them use the screen without seeing it. Is there any ADB command to enable these features? If I plug in a keyboard, is there a keystroke combination to turn them on?

Since you say ADB is enabled on the phone you should be able to pull out by means of ADB-driver the data in mind to your Windows computer.
I recently completed a PC build, and I've seen a trend recently of using an old android device as a system monitor inside of a pc case using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trigonesoft.rsm

However, leaving a phone inside of your pc case charging non-stop seems like a very bad idea due to heat generation, expanding battery over time etc.
I would like to know how I should approach making a couple tweaks after rooting the phone (Pixel 2 in this case).
1) Disable battery charging, allowing the phone to get power only from a connected USB cable. The desired behavior is that the battery does not charge at all and the phone only receives power from the PC. When the pc turns off, the phone should turn off/die as well.
2) Automatically open Remote System Monitor when the phone turns on without any user interaction. So when the pc is turned on, the phone boots and opens the app directly.
Are these things possible? How might I go about accomplishing this?
Thank you very much in advance.
If phone's Android is rooted then
1. Disabling charging can be done by running these ADB commands
Code:
adb shell "dumpsys battery set ac 0"
adb shell "dumpsys battery set usb 0"
adb shell "dumpsys battery set wireless 0"
2. Automatically booting when device gets powered on is also possible, but more complicated.

[Q] Power on when plugged in (boot when docked)?
Appologies if this has been asked/answered here before. I tried searching, but didn't find any solution. Maybe someone else has stronger Google skills than I. Here is what I am trying to do. I'd like to find a way to have the Galaxy Tab power on...
