Hi,
I dropped my LG G2 D802 and the screen broke from the inside. I can only see around 1/10th of the screen at the bottom left corner. I intend to get it fixed at an LG service center but before I do that I want to backup my phone as I have very valuable data on it. I'm certain that the people at LG service center will reset my phone.
So how do I backup my phone when I cannot access the screen?
Can I use a OTG with power / 5 in 1 / Micro SD / SD/Sync/ 2.0 USB/ MHL to HDMI adapter
to connect my G2 to a HD screen and a mouse at the same time?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, my wizard is in an annoying state right now. You have to press the t-mobile logo on top of the dpad in order for the touch screen to work. The left softkey, internet explorer and comm manager buttons don't always work. This is true whether the keyboard is slid out or not. Sometimes the screen also turns white whenever you press reset. It all started when a bit of water got into the wizard.
According to a repair shop here, I need to replace the flex cable and something in the lcd. So do you think this would end my wizard troubles? I'm considering replacing this phone with another similar type like the tytn and tytn2 since the guys are charging me 104 dollars for the flex cable and repair. However, I could get a flex cable from ebay for 24 dollars. So buy a new phone or go get the flex?
A fall of about just a foot cracked the glass on my G2. It wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't also destroyed the digitizer, leaving on a small part of the screen usable. The bought the phone in February, so I was wondering if the LG warranty would cover the damage. If not, I could try to fix it myself. ETrade Supply does not have a screen listed for the LS980, but they do have one for the D800 (unfortunately currently out of stock): http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g2-d800-digitizer-touch-screen-black-with-lg-logo.html
Should this work with the LS980?
Also, does anyone know of a way that I can control the phone from my pc over usb, probably using adb. I would like to be able to at least backup the phone, but I can't even get past the pattern lock. Would it work to get a USB OTG cable and connect a mouse?
So recently the touch screen has stopped responding, i tried everything from restarting to a full wipe but got nothing.
i eventually took it apart and saw that one of the pins on the display ribbon connector was black so it had shorted.
what i want to know is would there be a way to control my phone through my computer? i restored a back up so i have sidesync 3.0 but no way to start it without touchscreen.
is there any thing i can do?
Hi,
Try getting an USB OTG cable (I bought mine for just 2-3$ on eBay), and plug in an USB mouse on it, so you can use the cellphone with the mouse. I did that to backup my Xperia Z1 when its touch screen stopped working .
Good luck, hope you can do it!

Hello, I recently attempted to replace the USB flex cable on my D800, because the original touch screen turned on, but the touch was inaccurate and had dead zones. I would touch one place on the lock screen, but the circle would appear in a different area instead. (The top half of the screen was pretty accurate, but lost accuracy from the middle and down.)
So, I ordered another flex cable for the D800, same as the original (labeling and everything). However, the new flex cable wouldn't register any touches at all. The display would turn on, but no touch. So I reinstalled the old flex cable and the touch worked, just not correctly. Faulty new cable?
Anyway, at that point I thought, hey, maybe it's the digitizer, so I got a new LCD+Digitizer assembly for $44. I installed it and it turns on fine, but still has touch issues with the original flex cable, and no touch on the new flex cable.
So... does this just mean that both of my flex cables are faulty? Or is it something else? Because it's definitely not the digitizer.
Extra info:
1. I factory reset the phone several times but no improvement, so I don't think it's a software issue.
2. I bought the phone second hand for $80; needed a battery replacement, because the screen wouldn't turn on and had a blinking red light.
3. Oddly enough, the battery that was inside it when I bought the phone was manufactured in 2014, even though the phone itself was used and fairly old, so I assume the original owner had opened it once before.
4. Looking at all the parts inside the phone, they're clearly labeled as D800/801. However, I managed to get through the settings to hardware info and it says the model is LG-D802T (Australian model?). I don't know what's going on.... ugh
same problem ... with no fix yet
Hi guys..
So I bought a LG G2 used on eBay. It was for 50 bucks or so and it was cheap because it didn't have a screen but the seller stated everything else works.
So heres what I did:
Purchased new screen x 2 (twice)
Both screens didn't work
Connected phone to TV through an HDMI adapter
The phone heats up while it's booting up sometimes
I can see the phone screen on the TV but the screen doesn't light up at all except it does have a tiny bit of backlight. As I touch the screen, it goes VERY slow, takes a second or two to respond.
How do I know if it needs a new motherboard or just new parts?
If it goes very slow but it shows on the TV, does that mean the motherboard is the issue?
Thanks in advance!!
