Hi all, I've found that when I leave my Player on sleep for a while, I am unable to wake it back up. I've tried pressing the hardware button, the remote buttons, etc. The led is on, but there's no output or sound response from my TV. I have to unplug the NP and plug it back in. Probably a user error, but what's the process to wake the system?
Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing something similar, it started with restarts, then it would not boot without the button on the bottom and now it says no signal. Tried connecting it to the pc, pc installed drivers, and if you unplug a cable it says cable unplugged.

Bumping as I still haven't found a solution.
yep, mine does the same thing, every day i have to reboot it as the screen is black and the device is unresponsive
MIne I have to unplug the HDMI and plug it back in then magically there is a signal. I tried setting never go to sleep and that did not hep. Did anyone upgrade to 5.1.1? does that fix anything?
Bump. Got mine a few days ago and the same thing happens.
It's still on and running. It's still a little warm under the button. But no matter what I do with the remote or button or TV, nothing happens. The only way to get it back up is to unplug/plug the hdmi or power cable.
I've got the same problem, but I've unplugged everything and still nothing, tried different TVs, Different HDMi leads still nothing. Going to contact Ausu or go back to where I purchased it tomorrow. was loving catching up with Game of Throne haha

You think it's just a defective device?
Maybe I should return mine as well.
I'm taking mine back tomorrow hopefully. If I can find the receipt

Quoting you so you get a notification
Did you find a solution? Was it your TV, HDMI cable, or the unit itself?

Still no solution. Tried 3 different ROMs and it's the same thing with each one. Could it be a firmware problem? I mean I shouldn't have to reboot it every time it goes to sleep. The hardware button on the bottom has no effect. I'm slowly giving up.

Hey, sorry for the delay, been busy.
But yeah I got my new nexus. Rang Asus with some struggle as the serial on the product wasn't matching up on the system. Useful haha
Then they said it would take 29 days to get a fix or replacement.... I then said I'll take it back to where I got it which in my case was Argos.
Took it back told them the problem, girl looked at me completely confused. Think I lost her at bootloader haha. But I might as well tell them how to explain to do a factory reset which I couldn't do anyway. Then got my replacement. Which I'm leaving in the box as I want to be a geeky guy and do a unboxing video this time haha.
I found if you turn the TV on and off again it will work.. no need to get up and pull the HDMI cable
I noticed this issue didn't happen with 5.0 but happened with 5.1.1 so I'm hoping a new update will fix it.
Random question but on 5.1.1 how do we get sideloader? As I can't find it on the store
Doesn't matter was being an idiot.

A sideloader? If you are asking how to sideload, you boot into the recovery and then choose install from sideload, then use the "adb sideload" command.

That has absolutely nothing to do with this thread

Also, you sideload using ADB
Turn on USB debugging, install the ADB driver on your PC, then use the adb command "adb install apkname.apk"
No need for root or recovery.

This doesn't work on my setup. But pulling the HDMI cable works.
This problem appeared on my Nexus player about a month ago, it was working perfectly until that time.
It looks like a problem with the HDMI CEC. Even if I put my NP in "Never sleep mode" as soon as I turn off the TV it will not then wake when I turn the TV back on.
Well, in my case at least, that is not accurate. When I turn the TV on, nothing appears on the screen nor is there any audio, but the NP is still responding to commands and working. I can blindly start a YouTube video from the highlights section while the TV is still "blanked" and when I toggle the HDMI cable connection the I can see that the NP was functioning "correctly" other than it wasn't outputting anything to the HDMI port.
I would say that the "fault" is just likely to be on the TV not implementing HDMI CEC correctly, but everything WAS working correctly until recently and the only changes are on the Nexus Player side of the equation.

Problem solved?
Before you take the device back to the store, I believe the problem is the TV; even those of you who tried multiple ones. I did the same thing; tried a different TV. However, in my case, it works. When I hooked mine to a newer TV, the device wakes up fine. I read in other forums (searched "HDMI won't wake up device") and to my surprise, there are other forum where people complained about the same with other devices. Apparently, something related to the HDMI port (maybe the version of HDMI?).
I was given two Nexus 4 units with fractured glass to tinker with- I'd like to use them to just run a data processing app as a lower powered server. The problem is that the touch input appears to be completely dead on one unit, and only 30% of the screen responds to touch on the other!
I can't even get past the welcome screen, which is problematic. Can someone help me come up with a way to get an alternative input? I just want to get in far enough to install the app and run it, I'm thinking either via remote desktop or keyboard/mouse via OTG cable.
Both units have stock roms, which means USB debugging is off and apparently OTG support doesn't exist either. I'm feeling like I hit a brick wall here. Is there anything I can do, or are these units useless? Can a custom rom with OTG support be installed perhaps through recovery? Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful, thanks!
Try the phone which works 30% screen by rotating in 90 degrees or 180 degree and then try to select the menu options. If it works then you can try for something.

Problem is that the homescreen doesn't rotate. I needed to click "next" in the bottom right corner to advance past the welcome screen, and I couldn't!
But I was able to pull down the top bar and get into settings from there, and turn on USB debugging. Once I did that, I downloaded and ran a remote control app that I could sideload with ADB and set up what I wanted to run there. So at least I got ONE working. But the other one which has no touch input working at all, I'm just hitting a brick wall with that one.
Is there no way to install a custom rom with a non-functional screen?
Similar problem
Hi Dishe, did you find any solution to this problem. I'm in a similar situation but worse since my phone was encrypted and some points does not work on screen. If you've find any alternative please let me know.

Can you format the partitions through TWRP and upload the new ROM?
Or try the following:
fastboot format userdata
Thanks for your concern. Meanwhile, I've installed the stock rom via fastboot cli and phone works now. I've lost all my data and touch panel is nonresponsive on the right side of the screen but at least I can make calls now.
Anyway I need to replace either screen or the phone itself.

Replacing the screen may be unprofitable. It is better to buy BT mouse and use the N4 for special tasks. Anyway, you yourself decide.
I've been trying to get my Nvidia Shield TV rooted for the last hour and a half or so, and after finally figuring out how to get the Shield recognized with the proper drivers, I get the thing into the bootloader and nothing I plug into it will display the bootloader screen. My projector and both TVs I own show nothing. If I hold the power button down for a while, I'm eventually get some pixelated text that says "Continue to boot" and then the Shield will go into its normal boot routine, but I get nothing else. Apparently to unlock the bootloader I need to be able to interact with the Shield, but I can't do that if there's no screen. I can't find any info on this issue either. Is it possible it has something to do with incorrect drivers?
I had the same problem, none of my display were able to show the bootloader menu.
In short, I could not manage this display problem, theretheless I was able to unlock and root my device by handle blindly.
Have a look at following YouTube video at 14:10 the bootlader menu is shown:
youtube . com / watch?v=p_qQJMuOAQQ&t=850
I had ended up doing the same thing, Basti. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the problem though. It's a silly nuisance and the only thing I can think of is that maybe I need a 4K TV or somehow it operates in some mode only PC monitors recognize. The lack of complaints of this issue is surprising.

I updated the Yotaphone 2 to Android Lollipop (wasn't easy!).
I have one big problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.
I have to unlock phone and mirror the screen. When it's done, I can stop the mirroring from the EDP, and then use it normally... lock unlock lock unlock seem to work, but after some time it stops working as should.
I tried stopping the service BackScreenManagerService, but nothing changes.
Don't know what to do :crying:
But it was ok during the tutorial Yota makes you do after installing?

Yes it was.
This morning the screens work OK. Yesterday evening no... I had to mirror the screen, and then to stop mirror to make the ink work properly.
I cannot understand why the ink gets stuck: I think phone decides which screen power on on the basis of his position (not the proximity sensor).
Hi,
I bought my YotaPhone 2 one week ago an now I have the same issue as TKPL.
Do you now have any new bugfixes or information about this problem?
Hello guys,
I have broken the screen of my Nexus 6P and I really want to save my data before moving to a new phone.
I've found several applications to control phone from PC, but all of them needs USB debugging mode enabled, which is unfortunately disabled on my phone.
I read here on the forum some method to enable USB debugging from PC via USB cable, but I'm not an expert and I can't do it.
My phone is locked by screen lock (PIN code, of course I know the code), and the phone is NOT rooted, OS is the original one (with all the updates installed.)
If any of you guys would be able turn on USB debugging on my phone without losing my data, I will be glad to reward his efforts by $125 and a HUGE "Thank you"! Money will be sent via PayPal, remote session could be done via TeamViewer.
I really hope someone of you can do it!
Thank you in advance!
How is the screen broken?
Is it just not responding to touch? Is the lcd shattered or dead black?

If you can see even a little of the screen, grab a usb-c OTG cable ( https://goo.gl/BzUKno ) and use a wired pc mouse to make all entries needed.

i have good news for you as other have said you need an otg cable i tested with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01COOQIKU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked with this mouse and keyboard combo https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DKZTMG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 im sure other will work but thats what i tested with once it is connected swiping up is a bit hard i was just trying to drag it all the way up at first but to get to the pin screen you will need to do it in a flicking up motion then just you the the number keys on the keyboard and unlock then the next best this is probably to try and cast the screen so your not blind if you cant and you get it unlocked these are the steps ...
1. unlock clicking and swiping mouse up then enter pin and hit enter.
2. down twice on keyboard and then enter to get to app drawer
3. type settings hit enter twice
4. down 11 times enter.
5. down 3 times enter.
6. down 13 times enter right once and enter.
usb debugging should be enabled that is for android 8.0
ps if you dont have developer mode enabled it will be different if so tell me ill count it out for you for that too.
For $125.....
For damn near the cost of the reward, you could get another screen/assembly and swap the guts, having a fully working device again....

If OEM unlocking is on / bootloader is unlocked, you can try flashing twrp recovery(after unlocking bootloader) and check if files show up on pc (I think MTP mode is on by default in twrp).
Perhaps trying this.

I'm afraid I'm not able to do what you described (I'm not an expert at all), that's why I need someone who will help me. Moreover I need not only the files but it would be optimal to get full access to the phone, first of all because I need to use google authenticator. That's why I need usb debugging mode to be turned on so badly.

If possible, I prefer to be able to turn on usb debugging mode because then I can get full control on my phone and control it from my laptop, not only getting able to save my files. I need it mostly because I need to use Google Authenticator on my phone.

I've tried to do it as you described.
1. I successfully unlocked the screen by typing my pin code, I can even hear the audio confirmation (ie. unlock sound). Fortunately I have to do it only once because after the first successfully unlock I can use the fingerprint reader to unlock the screen
2. Once the screen is unlocked, I hit twice the "down" button on the attached keyboard. I think something is going wrong here, because after the first "down" I can hear the audio confirmation (ie. keyboard sound), and after the second one I can't hear anything as if I stepped down on a list which has ended already. Any idea what do I do wrong?

The thread you linked says I should enable usb debugging via recovery using this code:
Code:
Adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb" >>/system/build.prop"
reboot
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.
