So far as i know is that sometimes the phone just doesn't want to accept the new display and then you gotta perform a soft reset so that old data maybe also related to the display are getting removed and that the phone Might accept the part then. In most cases this works like that hope that it works by you too. if you cant see the window to type your pin then try to find a video or a image from the lockscreen and enter your pin. Maybe you can do it if you can blind remember how it looked like:good:

Press and hold Power Button (around 5 seconds).
Your device will now shut down and reboot.
Alternate Method; With your device turned off…
Press and hold Power Button until the LG Logo appears then release

I clicked the button for 5 seconds. It does nothing,
i have to go to TWRP Mode to do a software reset.

I tryed to fix that problem by charging my phone, Now its fully charged and the display doesnt work now.
How can i do a software reset without a working display?
Is there any method by usb and computer?

Help! Wizard has completely died after installing ScreenLock

Hi, I just installed Screenlock:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14621
1 hour later my Xda Mini S which has worked fine for weeks is completely dead. It won't respond even after removing the battery, pressing the reset button, holding on/off. Even plugging in the charger doesn't make the LED light. This was all after I locked the screen with Screenlock, and tried to unlock it again.
Any ideas at all what on earth is going on or how to get back to a working state?

Enter Bootloader, - hold the "camera" and shortly press the reset button, don't release "camera" until you can see color screen, connect USB cable, and start to flash any ROM you like from ftp...
Okay, I have followed your directions exactly, but the device is dead beyond even that. Nothing happens whatsoever
Any other ideas?
Have you tried Hard reset?
What exatly have you tried when flashing?
Did it enter into bootloader?
Was the plugged charger original one?

Yes, hard reset as directed in the post above.
I cannot flash, because the device won't even switch on, as explained.
Not even bootloader - nothing. The device just doesn't do anything.
I have tried 3 original chargers including a car charger. Additionally the device was fully charged when it failed.
Has screenlock worked uberhaupt ?
What does uberhaupt mean?
Screenlock worked for an hour as I said, but after an hour it wouldn't unlock the device and we have the situation I now see.

when the device wouldn't unlock was there a graphical view or complete dead view ?
The screen was, and still is, completely blank as though off.

Then i think it has nothing to do with the program screenlock.. you have just bad luck with youre MDA... it is just died...
Bit too much of a coincidence that. An hour after installing Screenlock, a program which switches the screen off and prevents you pressing any keys... my screen switches off permanently and I cannot press any keys... at all! :?
Continuing from the other thread... as I said, I have no problems.
As far as I know, it just runs in the background, intercepts button presses (like any other button manager), and detects whether the device's screen is brought back to full power - and switches it back to zero power again.
If it installed itself as a Startup item, you should still have been able to proceed to the Windows Mobile splash (if any)
If it were a device driver that loads firstmost, then you still should have been able to get to the manufacturer splash.
Even if it were to install itself in the extended ROM, you should still have been able to access the BootLoader.
I simply can't think of anything, other than mechanical failure/etc., that would cause what you're seeing.
That said, I'm sure people are sufficiently put off from downloading ScreenLock now

Help!! Tmobile Wing Dead!

Hi,
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my Tmobile Wing started vibrating and it wouldn't stop. I took a look at it and the front two lights displayed red and blue during this vibration episode. The only way I could stop it was by taking the battery out. After reinstalling it, I did a soft boot and it turned back on and worked perfectly fine for about eight more hours. Then, last night, it started vibrating again on it's own so I did the same exact thing as earlier in the day.
This time, it did not respond to a soft boot. It won't respond to a hard boot either. It won't take a charge (or at register it's taking a charge). Nothing!
The only thing that displays is a little BLUE light on the keyboard where it says, ALT. If I remove the battery, the light goes out. Once I insert the battery again, the blue Alt light goes back on. The phone is completely dead otherwise.
I have not done any hacks, updates, changes whatsoever. It didn't get wet and was not dropped.
Any possible ideas what the little blue light is supposed to mean? It's got to be some kind of service code or something? I'm pretty sure the battery still has a charge, but I haven't tried a new one. I even tried the plugging in the AC adapter and the phone still wouldn't respond at all. Is there any reason to think the computer would recognize it with the USB cable when it won't even power up?
Any solutions or where to turn with this thing? I think the little blue ALT light must signify some error code possibly......
Thanks.
it's the ALT key..
so you can input the blue characters on the keyboard.
you're phone is possessed.. sorry
can it go into bootloader mode(hold camera key and pole hole on side)?
if it can just flash a new rom into it or the original tmobile stock rom.
Have you hard-resetted your phone?
Which ROM are you using?
mv3, the answers to your questions.

what cube did you install?
well install ftouchflo config by schaps and enable ftouchflo
i suggest you uninstall your cube and install slithers cube here.
then either get ftouchflo config or get the _ftouchflo_config.txt file from the windows folder and make the down-up gesture to be slithers cube.

uhmm...no.
hard boot does not = hard-reset.
boot = to load your device.
there's no such thing as a hard boot or is there?
i assumed this person meant a power cycle..because if the device is not booting even after performing a hard reset command via hardware keys..blablablah..
saying you have a wing does not mention which of the stock ROMs is on the device.
so yeah... my questions werent answered.. :/

I might be using the words 'reboot' and 'reset' interchangeably (incorrect or not). What I have attempted to do is a soft reset by depressing the little hole by the volume control. This is what worked the first time for me. The phone will NOT respond to that now.
In attempting a hard reset, I pressed the two buttons on the front marked with a '-' at the same time as depressing the same hole. Nothing responds to this at all. Is this the corrrect procedure for a factory reset?
I'm not sure the exact ROM installed. I have not changed it at all since the phone was purchased, so it's original. Since the phone doesn't even work now, doesn't seem like I can find out the ROM version.

continue holding the 2 soft keys, don't release. a warning should appear.. if you press the 'Send' key... the send call/talk/etc button.. then it should initiate a dealer specified ("hard")reset.. if you press any other buttons, it will ignore the attempted hard reset.
if that doesn't happen.. then that's very uncool....
Well, after trying just about everything, I've pretty much accepted there's got to be some sort of 'short' to the motherboard. I think the ALT light constantly on signifies the phone thinks that key is indefinitely in a depressed state. Or something like that...........
same thing happened to my phone. does anyone know if there's a known fix for this?

G1 Black Screen of Death?!

Have you tried hard reset? Call+Menu+End If that doesn't work, pull the battery.

just take the battery out...wait 3 -seconds and put it back in...its happened to me 3 times b4...not sure of the cause but thats the remedy
Turns out to be a Bad ribbon!
the same exact thing happened to me....i called tmobile n they replace my phone free of charge. what do u mean bad ribbon?
The ribbon phone for the LCD display. Phones that have slide outscreens put alot of wear on ribbon cables. My mda vario screen and touch screen both started going faulty after a year.
Once a good onscreen keyboard comes out, we wont have to slide out the screen so much

[Q] screen trouble

Hello you all
I've got a strange problem with my HDmini :
Sometimes, the screen stops responding !
I can touch any button, the screen in any place, nothing happens.
I only have to remove the battery ( because thre is no reset ).
After strated again, when PIN code is asked, if a tap on "3" for exemple, it is like if i have tapped on "6" ; if i tap on "erase", i see "cancel" highlighted !
And after a few minutes, everything becomes normal again.
An idea ?
Did you install any cab or custom settings?
Yes, i'm using throttlelauncher with WP7 theme but when the screen is stuck, i have two choices :
Remove the battery to start again, without throttlelauncher started .
Restart the HTC with Mymobiler if the HDmini is connected.
At the end, the problem stays on.
I only have to wait for some time and then the touchscreen works again... by itself !
I haven't tried Throttlelauncher yet. I don't know if that can be the possible culprit.
Bart3385
For example, yesterday and today everything was OK and 5 minutes ago, the screen has stuck again !
Nothing possible to do on the screen neither with the 5 keys at the bottom !
I have to connect the HDmini to the PC and reboot it with my mobiler;
then i can use the screen interface.
It seems that the problem is the touch screen !

Maybe your device is blocking so hard that your keys and screen both don't work anymore. I have had that too once Maybe Trottle causes this?
Madmatt
The problem is to be sure that a software is the problem origin; before i ask for the PDA to be replaced by my operator.
Try to do hard reset. Install only the basic stuff. (Minus Throttlelauncher.) See if the phone goes back to normal.

That's a possible option.
Somehow, i'm not allowed to make that kind of suggestion anymore. Someone keeps on following me and make a mockery whenever i mention anything like that.
Anyway, try to check software problem first. As i first did on my own device. Before i've ascertained it is defective hardware.

It is normal, sometimes, it doesn't respond, lame htc hd mini. I have this problem long ago.
Thank's for your suggestions.
Today, the phone is completly stuck.
That's why i don't think it is a software problem.
I can' even entry the PIN code.
i've tried a Hard reset, to flash back to Original Rom = nothing more.
So i've asked Orange for an exchange under garanty...
That's a good move.
In some areas, a high percentage of units need replacement.

Lockscreen rotates by itself and freezes RIGHT AWAY! HELP

Dear all,
I've just received my N4 for a couple of hours. It's a brandnew one from U.S market.
Right after unboxing, I switched it on and signed in my Google account. Everything run just fine for a couple of minutes when i swipe through those introduction steps from a Brandnew Vanilla Android. After that, it went wild.
When i turned the screen on the 2nd time of its life time, the Lockscreen rotated automatically and then just hang there. The whole device freezed right after the screen was turned on THE 2ND TIME!. It forced me to press and hold Power button to restart the device, but that problem continues to occur on every working sessions.
Right now i have to completely turn it off and don't know how to fix yet
A just-unboxed-device with a fault like this? Life's Sucking, not Good LG!
What can i do now? Please give me some advices, i'm very frustrating right now.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Now after trying to unlock bootloader, root, flash custom ROM (xenonHD), even tried to disable all lockscreen types (currently set to None), it appears that the whole device will freeze after exactly the 2nd time of screen-on! How on earth does this s**t occur????
Anyone? Please help

Problem is the device now is in Vietnam, and it'll take much time to deliver it back to Google.
Wish someone would have a solution...

Thank you for being so kind. I've just tried and no luck.
By somehow, if it manages to turn all the lockscreen and homescreen to landscape, it will be fine. But i know the N4 cannot rotate homescreen, so this is definitely WEIRD! I feel that the "spirit" of a tablet's OS is running inside my phone, and it decides not to run at all LOL
seems that RMA's the only choice....
