[Q] [Request] Cover sensor for screen - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone made an app/mod for Ubuntu Touch that turns of the screen when you close the case (QuickCover im my case) and turn it on when it opens?
The power and volume buttons have stopped working on my Nexus 5, but I really want to use UT on it.
Thanks

No app would be able to do that due to Ubuntu's permissions model. It would require support from the OS.

Capacitive buttons not working But sweep2weak Work?

Hello all, my capacitive buttons on evo 3d are broken (some day they just stop responding) , so i googled for solution, find nothing, then i ordered new digitizer, now digitizer is waiting for me to have money to repair my phone. But some days ago ill installed CM10 With sweep2wake option. When my phone is screen off, when i touch the home button (thats is not working) guess what. IT LIGHTS THE PHONE AND RECOGNIZE TOUCH. While i sweep from home to search - my phone unlock (So my buttons recognize touch) I am now like wtf? Is there a way to examine those buttons with some sort of programs or etc? Is there a way of repairing them without changing digitizer?
Best regards, Bazyl93

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the buttons only work for sleep to unlock or do they work like they should on the cm10 rom? If they do not work normally then it may be the s2w recognizes the area of the screen close to the buttons, but not the actual buttons.
Get kernel tuner and then go on to check with the brightness of capacitive buttons. There is a chance you have them at 1% and you can't make out if they are lit or not ...

Soft keys do not respond, while some ghost play be playing with them

hello XDAexpertes
I have one of this Chinese phones that looks like want to go holidays forever, specifically a Star A3 (Mtk6575)
things is, for few days, soft keys start intermittently stop working, it did got funny because as I take out the back cover they work again, also, the screen protector was little dirty, so I took it off ...
but things have become worst, and up to the point to do not respond at all, but only soft keys, touch screen works perfectly. More over, and this is happening more and more, ghost strokes of the soft keys have start to appear
so I guess, touch screen has got wet(?), fail(?), nuts(?). Anything I could be doing to repair it ?
But my main question is:
- is any way to disable the soft keys (to prevent the ghost strokes) and enable some app to emulate the menu and options soft key (maybe shaking the mobile)
I just need it to make it works for sometime, so I am not without mobile up to purchase a new one.
It is funny, as the soft keys seems to be part of the screen it self, and not separate buttons or anything else. and the touch screen works, while the soft keys do not ...

[Q] I9100 Weird Screen issues that make it impossible to use.

Hi everyone. After changing the usb pin of my phone, the touch screen started doing some weirds things. Sliding among desktops is rather laggy. Pressing an icon is not enough to get the app (or whatever) to work, a second attemp is neccesary in any other part of the screen in order to make it happen. The physical buttons seems to be working fine so far.
In further investigations it seems like pressing on the screen is well detected, since i can press an icon and move it around a desktop. But unpressing anything goes undetected.
I see no physical damage on the screen or the flex that connects it to the motherboard. This is not an issue related to any especific rom or kernel since i tried with a couple of them before getting to this point. Is there any app that allows me to monitor what part of the screen is being touch?
Can this be resolved by a firmware update of any kind of just a hardware replacement?
Cheers

Disable touch input through USB-debugging (or other workaround)? [Honor 7]

I recently managed to break the screen on my Honor 7 so that it affects the touch functionality, and i am now left with some ghosting on the bottom part of the screen.
Was wondering if there was a way to disable the touch screen on my phone, but still be able to send touch commands through USB, hopefully without removing the screen.
(The ghosting is bad, but i can still pick up calls, which is why i do not want to remove the screen)
Thanks
its really tough,, what you are asking.. you can still connect a mouse, but touch is the formfactor of any android phone, if you want , you can connect a mouse via otg ,
but i highly suggest you to change your touch panel or display...
Same problem ..Tip!
I have the same ghostly problem..and I want to disable the touch input without disabling the external keyboard or mouse control. ...I tried touch lock app..but it also disables the external mouse control. .May be if the Touch Lock app modding will be a great solution for both of us
