I am running Blastagator TWRP 3.3.0-0 on an LG G2 with a screen hardware problem. The screen is no longer touch sensitive in the center of the lower part of the screen. Updates to Lineage on this device do not automatically install Magisk, so it needs to be installed manually through TWRP each time I update Lineage. The problem is that installing any zip file through TWRP requires confirmation by moving the slider across the screen, through the dead spot. When I try to do that, the slider drops back as if I lifted my finger off the screen. The same thing happens if I let the screen time out - I can't get past the lock screen without the slider, so I have to crash TWRP and reboot.
Is there an alternative to sliding across the bottom of the screen? I can recompile TWRP if there's a flag in the source code. I've tried sideloading Magisk, but I can't do it because I have to swipe across the bottom of the screen to start sideload mode. If I try it through the ADB command line on a connected LInux system, I get "sideload connection failed", presumably because I haven't put the phone in sideload mode. All roads lead through that sliding bar.
It would be frustrating to have to trash the phone just because of a single bad spot on the sensor. Once in a blue moon the bar slides and I can get Magisk to install, but it's frustrating to keep trying for five or ten minutes hoping I get that one shot.

I believe you can disable the lock screen in the options totally (the slider thing). Not sure though but yes, it's a crap design. Hope someone is able to help

Wow. Does it work? I didn't even knew it did lol. Thanks for the tip. Hope OP sees your post and gives it a try
Brilliant! That worked. It appears the mouse has to be plugged in at boot time, but if it is, the arrow appears and the mouse and slider are fully functional in both system and recovery.
By the way, I get around the dead spot on the keyboard when booted into the system by using one of the many Set Orientation apps that allow me to turn the screen upside down. I haven't found an app yet that needs touch sensitivity at the top and bottom of the screen at the same time. Well, games, but I don't play games on an LG G2
I wonder if a Y cable will work on the USB port, so I can plug in a thumb drive for storage and still use a mouse to move the slider to start the backup?
BTW, I checked the TWRP settings screen. There is no setting that affects the slider.
Thank you, eyobaaa.
Glad to hear that the Y cable things i didn't test it why don't you give a try..

I have an Eris that is running the first 2.1 leak from RiverRunner. Yesterday the phone took a fall off a balcony onto concrete. Gravity + hard surface = phone malfunctions.
Basically, here's the problem. The phone still works fine, but the screen won't display anything. The screen won't turn on at all, actually. The menu/search/home/back buttons still light up, the phone still rings and makes notification noises and everything. I called in insurance and they sent me a new Eris.
Problem is....I don't have a backup of my old Eris, and I can't remember every app that was on the phone. Most of them were free, so the market doesn't remember my downloads. I CANNOT see anything on the screen.
Is there any way I can backup the old eris' apps without being able to see anything on the screen?
(My new eris is running 2.1 root, Ivan's version, in case that helps for any reason.)
you could try to plug in your eris and hope you left usb debugging enabled. if not, maybe mimic the presses on the touchscreen and hope youre navigating to the correct place to turn it on, then:
Code:
adb pull data/app desktop
or, i guess you don't really need the apks, you just need a list of installed apps so you could
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/app
ls
(thats a lowercase L)
mind you, if you 'pull' all the APKs, you wont be backing up any saved data, just the app itself. so in that case youre better off just installing from market.
**MOD move to general thread please**
I don't need the user data, I just need a list of what I had installed. I can't remember them all.
The touchscreen doesn't work anymore. The home buttons, etc, still respond to touch but the screen doesn't.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have USB debugging installed, but it's not a huge deal. Can I still pull a list of installed apps without usb debugging?
Also, is there a way to wipe the eris, since I can't see anything?
Sorry about the wrong forum. I forgot to change subcategories before I asked.

How do you know it doesnt work, you cant see it And I'm pretty sure the home buttons ARE part of the same touchscreen surface, since you can drag your lockscreen, etc into that area and you still have control of it so perhaps it IS really working. so try to mimic the touches to turn on USB debugging. (Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > Usb Debugging.) do it on both phones at the same time so you get the movements right.
But without USB debugging turned on, you can't use any ADB commands
True, I guess the home buttons etc could be the same surface.
I'll mimic the debugging movements when I get home.
The main reason I thought the scteen was completely gone was that the buttons respond with haptic feedback when pressed, the screen does not. Then again, the lock screen coulda prevented that.
"How do I make a permanent change to my Streak's touchscreen's 'Interrupt Method' setting?"
US Beta device: Can't get into proper fastboot mode -second fastboot screen, and screen calibration is messed up unless I use the EMlist utility to temporarily change the "Interrup Method".
I wrote the following in another thread, where I was also emphasizing a touchscreen calibration problem that plagues me during normal use of the OS.
Question #1: Does anyone know a workaround for this "un-clickable" Fastboot screen area that must be clicked on to get into fastboot mode and flash a new ROM?
Question #2: Does Anyone know what settings will allow me to keep the screen configuration set to "SensePeriodical"?
##########
*Issue #1*
##########
The main point for posting this as a new topic is summed up by the sentence: "The area of the screen with an unbounded word "FastBoot" has not been clickable at all."
After booting while holding down the UP/DOWN volume buttons, I get the following.
I see only:
1. (Top Left) "Touch Calibration"
2. (Top Right) "FastBoot"
3. (Bottom Left) "Press:"
4. (Bottom Right) --Phone keypad with numeric buttons and the two labels "CLS" and "Enter" on their own buttons.
The area of the screen with an unbounded word "FastBoot" has not been clickable at all.
The first time I tried to boot into fastboot this way, these things appeared and then I attempted to use the numeric keypad --and each attempt failed, printing the wrong character. When I pressed "1", then for example, the number "6" would appear.
I then pressed the top volume button and the screen went dark. After ~3 seconds, the screen was repopulated identically, *except* for the word "FAIL" beneath the "Touch Calibration" on the top left.
I then retried without rebooting. This time, all my keypresses were accurate. I pressed the top volume button again, and the screen went dark again. The same display reappeared, along with the word "FAIL" in red beneath "Touch Calibration".
I then rebooted into fastboot again --but this time, all of my key-presses were accurate the first time. I filled up the 10 characters of space after the "Press" item on the bottom left by pressing the number pad buttons in sequence. I then pressed the top volume button, but then got the red "FAIL" when the screen came back on.
This phone was rooted (at least) once, then updated to 2.1, then (I believe) flashed with a 1.6 image. After the first aforementioned update, wiped with a factory reset.
##########
*Issue #2
##########
Touch screen mis-calibration problems were reported/observed after the first manual ROM flash. That has still been a problem for me since acquiring the Streak, and the only workaround I have yet found is a temporary adjustment using one of the engineering tools beneath the Eng. menu item "EMlist". This workaround is only functional until the screen goes to sleep, and then I get the same behavior from the touchscreen that forces me to trickily press items quickly or in a swiping motion, which is maddeningly inefficient.
Here is that little "procedure", as I typed it up:
################################
1. Enable Engineering apps by dialing *#*#307#*#* into the Phone Keypad.
2. In Application drawer, Go to "EMlist"
3. In "EMlist", go to "Touch Panel".
4. In "TouchPanel", go to "Configuration"
5. In "Configuration", under "Interrupt Mode", I changed the selected radio button from "CoordinateCompare" to "SensePeriodical" --and the keyboard began to behave as I'd hope, with no trace of the difficulties before. However, upon opening that applet up to this point, I observed that the value had reset itself to "CoordinateCompare". There is apparently an "OK" button below there that needs to be pressed in order to save the Configuration change. However, upon reboot, the same old problems reappeared, and the setting had reverted to "CoordinateCompare". There must be a way to hard code this setting, but I'm not sure just where.
################################
Does Anyone know what settings will allow me to keep the screen configuration set to "SensePeriodical"?
The speculation from the last owner is that this may be hardware failure in the digitizer, which would kind of stink because I can't get Dell to fix or trade out this device from the Texas beta program.
I'm really hoping that this is a software issue, especially seeing how changing from the "CoordinateCompare" Touchpanel Configuration setting solves the main problem 100%, if only temporarily.
I'd love to get more input or feedback about this problem, and I also hope that this post of mine helps someone else make shareable progress.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Can it be sent back for repair?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
It cannot be sent back for repair since it is a Beta hardware model.
If it be a hardware problem, then it's really kind of odd that the change in sensory detection or interpretation makes a 100% improvement. The "Interrupt Methd" should not be able to correct a hardware problem that would otherwise be really pervasive, don't you think?
I reallyy appreciate the feedback!
I think that the most important question for me and my little orphan is: "How do I make a permanent change to my Streak's 'interrupt Method'?" If it can be done satisfactorily with the utility in question, then where is the configuration file (in /etc, I'd imagine) where I can manipulate it?
Everything in the running GUI environment for the touchscreen is made better by this adjustment, but I don't know how to make it a persistent configuration change rather than a temporary one (and it is temporary when I change it with 'Emlist', reverting when the screen goes to sleep),
On top of that, I'm getting USB errors --oh, nevermind.
I have observed in my gnu-linux syslog that I'm getting:
###########################################
Sep 21 21:00:50 $HOST kernel: usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4

###########################################
...from the Streak when on the first FastBoot screen.
EDIT: Nevermind --My USB connection has been fine for ADB operations, so this is of no consequence.
I had this problem, such that the device was essentially unusable. Dell replaced my phone. I've seen on various forums that a number of people have this- hopefully Dell gets a fix for it.
Sounds like you took a spin on the Beta roulette wheel and lost. Sucks to be you, but youre not the only one, if it makes you feel better.

Do you mean that you had a USB problem or the Calibrate Screen problem?
My USB connection has been fine for ADB operations.
I have just noted that my first FastBoot screen lacks the border of dashes that can be seen at 01:58 of this HOWTO video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXH17USk-g . I have never gotten a glimpse of the screen that appears at 01:31 of the video.
The FastBoot item on the first fastboot screen is not clickable, no matter how hard I press or how widely I go for a click/press.
This makes me think that the FastBoot "problem" may not be intrinsically related to the touchscreen's problem.
Any ideas? I am starving for ideas, especially since I just tried to use 'flash_image boot.img' from a Modaco recipe, which has left me unable to access the OS.
Also, there is no ADB access from the Dell recovery console. Is that true of all these Streaks? All I've ever gotten while in that recovery mode is "Device not found".
I had the calibration issue.
philverb, try a screen calibration, that might help.

I tried to take note in the OP that screen calibration actions in the Recovery Console and in the first screen of FastBoot do not work, failing with a big, red-lettered "FAIL".
Did you have something else in mind?
Maybe. I don't get the fastboot screen when I power up with both volume buttons pressed. I get a different screen, which has a couple options including screen calibration, but not fastboot. After calibrating there, you may have some luck.

There are two things here: the Recovery Console and the Fastboot Console/Screens.
Recovery Screen: hold down both volume buttons while powering up. You then get a menu of Four items:
1. Factory Reset
2. Software upgrade via Update.zip on SD Card
3. Screen calibration
4. Power off
--The Screen calibration has its own contextual instruction screen that indicates to "Press volume down key to calibration screen, Press camera key to exit." [grammatical errors not mine]
**This screen calibration for me fails with "FAIL" in red letters, no matter how many times I try.**
FastBoot Screen: hold down Camera button while powering up. This is where, as I have said a couple of times, the word "FastBoot" appears in the top right, but it is not surrounded by dashes as it is in the video I mentioned ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXH17USk-g) at 01:58 of the video. It is the missing dashes that appear to define that "FastBoot" area as a button. In my version of the bootloader/fastboot thing, that area appears just to be a "dummy" area and intended not to be a clickable button.
--There is also a non-clickable area labeled "Touch calibration" in the top left screen, and I can activate it by using the left-hand volume button.
**When activated, this function makes the screen go dark, then returns to the original screen (also described in great detail in the original post), but then has the word "FAIL" in letters highlighted in red.
I really do appreciate your interest, and I hope that it doesn't seem tedious that I repeat myself in order to try to clarify, since you seemed to have gotten the wrong idea from the laborious detail I threw into the original post.
I think that what you have just mentioned is included in what I've been saying I have seen, no?
Thanks!
Did you tried opening the streak and reseating the touch panel cable? When I opened my streak just to check it out I saw a finger print in the camera connector, that made me think that MAYBE some wires weren't fitting 100%. Just a tought.
Good thinking....

That's a strong thought, and I thank you for it. My phone is (semi) bricked at the moment I am wondering now about the question of whether or not the screen problem may itself be preventing the FastBoot GUI from creating the border and therefore a clickable button.
I never get the the button border that is visible at 01:58 of the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXH17USk-g .
What do you think?
Edit: Solved! See post #3 for information on how I solved this.
Long story short I got an AT&T Atrix from a friend with an Atrix Lapdock. I'm not 100% sure of the details but he had opened the Atrix (to replace the digitizer I think) and messed up the screen to where the backlight turns on but it's always black. The digitizer still works. He wanted me to factory restore the Atrix so I did so via the Lapdock by going into settings and selecting factory restore. After it booted up again it did not boot into Webtop mode. Well great, now I'm running the phone blind.
I think I was at the "Emergency calls only" screen since clicking the bottom of the screen above the soft buttons, then towards the top, played dialtones, so I got a SIM card (out of my Sprint Touch Pro 2, just for the sake of having any SIM card in it) and rebooted with the SIM in it. I'm at a different screen now, where I can make the motor buzz by tapping the soft buttons, and if I hold the Menu (4 squares icon, leftmost soft button) it pulls up a keyboard. I believe this is the Motoblur setup screen. As stupid as it may sound, I tried entering the "123/alt/abc/e/123/alt/abc/e/b/l/u/r/o/f/f" command by eyeballing the screen, but I don't think I deactivated it since it seemed like I could still interact with this screen the same way. I tried pressing (what I felt was) 123/alt/abc on the phone, and using the Lapdock to input the letters, but that didn't seem to do anything either.
ADB is definitely not enabled, I can launch fastboot (or any of the fastboot options, such as "Fastboot" "NVFlash" "BP HW Bypass..." etc, I wrote these down and just blindly input however many Down presses to activate it).
My next plan is to print off a screenshot of the Atrix keyboard to-scale with the screen and use that as a guide to input the "bluroff" command, hopefully doing that will get the phone into a state where it can activate Webtop.
Strangely, while I was in the presumed Emergency Calls mode without a SIM, either me spazzing out on the screen or some weird luck got the Entertainment Center to appear. However I could not navigate it at all using the Lapdock, not through arrow keys or using the mouse. I've never gotten that to happen again.
If this is a failure, my main purpose in getting these from him was to use the Lapdock as a small and luggable HDMI monitor (via adapters) so I'm not too disappointed, but it would be nice to have the Atrix working as much as it did prior to factory-restoring it.

wow....thats something.......you still int blur account setting (it uppen when you use a different sim card)....
try to wipe in fastboot
load new rom image that can skip motoblur account set up (like nottach)
when reboots click menu and then right corner down (skip set up) then it should be able to go in webtop mode..
hope it works

Posting to say this worked fine! I used Photoshop to print a screenshot 1.961" wide, carefully cut it out, taped it to the front, called up the keyboard (longpress the menu button, you'll feel it buzz long then very short), and carefully tapped out the Motoblur override. Took a few tries since you can't see what you're tapping (go slowly and use the tip of your finger) and the paper in the way makes it less sensitive. The phone doesn't buzz or anything when it does this, but if you put it on the Lapdock you'll see the swirly small red Motorola M icon signifying Webtop is loading, instead of the big red Motorola M icon that jumps around now and then. Also I had set the language to Spanish during my blind mashing, luckily I'm familiar enough with it to where I could change the language to English easily.
You can activate Motoblur through Webtop after you bypass the initial setup, I'm doing that right now.
htchd2fix I was considering loading up a ROM and seeing if that gave me more luck, but I wasn't sure how they handle Blur and all that, but anyway thanks for your step by step
I've attached the screenshot I used of the stock Atrix keyboard, and a Photoshop PSD I made that I used for printing, scaled to (more or less) the Atrix's width, cleaned up a bit, and with a black 1px border to assist in cutting. To whoever made the original screenshot (you're probably on XDA), thank you!
I'm leaving the screenshot taped to the Atrix for now so I can brag about its e-paper display
So i was just forced to install Lollipop by Sprint. I was having a minor S-Pen issues and Sprints "FIX" was to update me to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Well now I have 500000000 other issue with my phone. Most i can live with, but there are 2 in particular that at driving me absolutely bonkers and I cant fix. I was hoping someone around here would have an idea how to fix it without me having to root, and go back to the previous OS. (The Sprint Root seems a little intimidating and I cant afford to brink my phone even for 20 minutes).
The main issues I am having are regarding the lock screen. I cant get the lock screen to stay open more then 3 or 4 seconds and if I botch my pattern or don't swipe fast enough, the screen will turn itself off. Then I have to turn the screen back on and try and unlock it again. Sometimes the screen even turns off in the middle of trying to unlock it. It is EXTREMELY annoying having to try and unlock my phone 4 or 5 times just to get to the notification screen ...... As for the Notification screen, once i finally am able to get my phone unlocked, then when i try and swipe my notification bar the phone will sometimes turn the screen off as well, then I have to go BACK to trying to unlock the phone and try and do everything faster then 2 jack rabbits banging in order to just get to my notifications. Its become a major problem in that sometimes I just cant get the sequence and speed right for 10 or 15 tries.
Anyone else having these issues or have a fix???

I can't say I had any problems like this. I was running Stock rooted OC5 for a while and had really no problems with it. I didn't have any pattern or pin unlock though, so maybe it would have been different? I would have stayed stock but my Flashaholic took hold and made to start trying out other ROMs.
As for rooting, I have found it very easy to root this phone. I haven't had a problem either using auto-root or flashing superSU.

before a factory reset, you might try doing a wipe of the cache partition.
turn your phone off
press and hold, Volume up + home key + power until you see the blue booting to recovery mode message
wait for recovery mode to display (the menu will show after the green robot)
use the volume rocker to move down to wipe cache partition and press the power button to select it.
now select the yes line and press power
now reboot your phone and see if that helps with the lock screen behavior
good luck

Hey Everyone,
I updated to Pie on my V30 (H932) after the flashable zip was released, and noticed this eco playback when I connect my phone to a USB C display. Oreo didn't have this, and I'm having a hard time finding whether this can be disabled or not. I would LOVE to disable it since it dims my display, and puts up a message about swiping to bring the phone out of eco playback mode. There is an option to tap a floating icon and choose to keep the screen on, but it seems to randomly revert back to dimming the screen when idle (watching a video on the external display). As of me posting this, the icon is actually stuck on (icon is still on my screen after disconnecting the display), and I'm sure it will go away after rebooting my phone, but I'm not wanting to reboot right at this time. Does anyone know if this can be disabled? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Oh, and just another note, the big reason I'm hoping that this can be disabled is that when I'm using the USB C display, I also have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected and in closer reach than my phone is, and when the eco playback message is on the screen, you're not able to click anything until you swipe or click and drag to the side to clear the message.
