Hi! I've bought a s 3 mini in Malaysia for my mother, and after 10 days she uses it, the bottom part of touch screen doesn't work anymore.
The bottom part (last icon line) and menu key and back key don't work anymore. The phone is not falling down, neither goes in contact with weather... It's very strange. it has happened after a simple call.
do you think is it an hardware problem? or is it possibile to fix via software?
thanks in advance.
My tablet is HKC P077A with 8GB ROM, 512 RAM and a 7'' Touch screen (Android 4.0.3). I am having 2 problems
When I switch on the tab, first "HKC" logo comes to screen and then disappears to show "android". This is standard. But after that the thing wont move forward. Just keeps on showing "andriod" with a flashing like thing implying the loading process. But after long wait there is no start screen and nothing changes. It just hangs there....
But if somehow got it to get into normal working(I donno how, but It sometimes boots ok and gets into normal working mode, with home screen and apps and everything). So once I get it right the other problem I am having is that the touch is giving VERY bad response. I have to click at spots multiple times to select that thing. Also the response is very slow. Its like the tablet is hanged. But when I tried connecting a mouse (through OTG) and everything works fine again. Is my touchscreen gone bad..??
I am already done with, reset (from "settings> backup and reset") [I cant find how to do factory reset on this model from "off" state(read below)]
I have tried to get into reset screen by pushing "Power Button+Vol up" button. Then I know the tab gets turned on (I can hear a small white noise from the loudspeaker) but nothing comes to screen. So the "Robot with heart open" is never shown. I also tried using "power button + Volume down", this takes me to a screen written in chinese. Now, I don't know Chinese but from the look and feel, its a troubleshooting window, where I can check weather components of my tablet are working (eg. I click one menu(with difficulty), then the front cam turns on, another menu makes loud sounds from speaker and another flashes many colors in screen etc). I found that most are ok except something called "T" (On the screen, its the last item to the right, is it "touchscreen"??)
So, what can I do to get my tab to work smooth again..? Is the touchpad having trouble..? Need I do any specific troubleshooting..?? Any Ideas on which key combinations to get on to the "factory reset" menu from off state..??
Also can u please specify the key combinations to the tablet factory-reset menu from "off" state.
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:

I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hi, i wanna ask a few questions about my old phone. It was working and i had dropped it. in that minute a car just went over it. It was touchable but display is very messed. I had saw the main screen and i could touch it. After that i just removed my sim and tried to restart phone but it never did restart. i could enter the twrp and take all my files to pc. after some time it's screen went black. Now i can enter to download mode, i can confirm that but nothing more because of black screen.
And my question;
1. How can i be sure if i change the screen it will work again?
2. I don't want to buy a screen, is there way to use it without a screen? ( with a monitor, tv etc.). i can use a mouse and keyboard with otg but how to transfer display to another device? ( new screen costs too much ) ( i know mhl not supported)
3. is there another phone which is cheaper and screen fits to s6 edge connector?
4. Any other ideas?
Hello there !
A friend of my wife broke the screen of her S9+ and asked me if I can extract the photos.
The phone does work fine, but the screen and the digitizer are dead.
I'm trying to use the MHL capability (usb c to hdmi + USB to connect a keyboard or mouse) to get access to the phone, but I'm stuck to unlock the screen. I was told that's a pattern lock (I know the pattern) but I can't display it on the external screen, and I can only draw it using a mouse on a black screen... Almost impossible !
Is there a way to bypass the pattern lock to get the pin code, or something to draw the pattern, or a way to show the lock screen on an external screen ? I tested on my own OnePlus 9 Pro, it doesn't display the lock screen neither.
I didn't try recovery, and adb looks disabled...
Thanks for ideas
Thats strange because when I use my (official) DeX dock, I can see my lock screen on the second display and use a keyboard or mouse to unlock a pattern, pin or password. I'm also confused because you say its not displaying on the second screen so how do you know your on the lock screen? Unfortunately, adb won't work until you unlock the phone as you will need to enable developer options and also accept the "fingerprint" before adb connects. Recovery is useless to you if you intend on recovering photos and the whole point of a lock screen is not to be bypassed. Obviously, there are ways because law enforcement can do it but your unlikely to have the equipment or exploits or skills to go down that route.
Thanks for the feedback !
In fact, the Galaxy acts just like my own phone on th external screen : I have a black screen with the date/clock moving around and a padlock. When I test on my phone (that's a biometric finger), I just have to hit the spacebar, it turns my phone screen on (the external screen keeps the same black display), and from my external keyboard, I can type my password, I hit enter, and unlocked.
Here, I am trying the same (I have a password code) but no luck, I'm just stuck on the lock screen. Pretty difficult as I can't monitor what's happening on the Galaxy's screen while I'm trying this. It does react correctly when I hit a key (it does wake up the Galaxy).
As expected, the MHL is not supported in firmware mode (I have lots of troubles going to recovery, I think the volume button was a bit shot too) so I can't see on the screen what I do in it...
That's very frustating as I'm stuck for this pattern.
Is it possible to get a screenshot of the S9+ lock screen, or to see what happens at fresh boot when using a keyboard ? The idea is to make sure I can access the password code screen, or if I can navigate to it with the arrows or a key... If I can access the password screen, I think it will do it (If the password is correct of course...)
Thanks
Use samsung find my device to erase your lockscreen password/pattern. Dex will then automatically launch upon connecting usb c to HDMI adapter depending on your settings. I had done this once before. Worked flawlessly. I eventually replaced the screen though.
Thanks, I'll try this but I don't know if it's enabled. I noted this method, but I was a bit scared to delete the content, as the goal is just to recover her photos. I haven't done anything else on it so far, and I'd like not to change the screen as the part is very expensive and the replacement looks... Erm... crappy ?
Back ! No luck, still waiting to know if there's a Samsung account enabled. I tried again today, no luck. But it looks I'm not passing the "lock" screen (the one with the wallpaper and the date/time). The spacebar may not unlock the device ? I've been trying with a mouse, but I think I'm stuck on that screen and I can't even access the pattern screen.
Maybe trying to find an official Dex dock. Many Chinese version of "usb c to hdmi + USB" won't work well.
