[Q] NST: Unresponsive screen - Nook Touch General

Hi,
I have a NST rooted and the screen is not working, i've clean it but it is still not working at all.
I wonder if it is a way to bypass the drag to unlock screen and reconfigure the buttons via ADB Shell in order to keep using de NST.
I've tried to modify settings.db but i still have not find a way to bypass the lock screen.
Anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks,
César

@csrrvr, try this mod.

Once you get past the lock screen issue using ИΘΘK¡€'s link, you may want to install RenateNST's Touch-1.0.apk to help you try to determine if (and where) there is a problem with the touch sensors.

I've tried the mod but i'm not able to bypass the lock screen. I think that it is beyond my knowledge. I just will buy another ebook reader; soon or later with a broken touchscreen i would have to do it.
Thanks anyway for your advice ,

I gladly paid for mine.
Payment server
I was going to pay for it too. But I don't trust their payment server. I should be allowed to use Paypal and not need to enter my personal information again. So sorry Bud but I don't trust a method where I log into Paypal, and then get sent to a window where I need to enter my address, my phone number etc.. doesn't feel trustworthy. I have never had to enter my information after I used Paypal for something and I am not about to start.
I guess I'll go back to sensor lock and just have to fix the code to allow the phone to answer. I would have supported his effort but not if I need to re-enter my personal stuff that Paypal has confirmed. :
OH SNAP!! I just realized it removed my outlook email account on my device and keeps crashing SQB. I don't think anyone should install it. Seriously this program is malicious code somewhere

Well it is not our server, its from www.2CO.com (a CC procesing company). If you don't trust them, just contact them and ask but don't try to discredit us with that kind of comments.

Impossible.
Check out any other program you have installed.
(Shame this has to be my 1st post here.)
No way!

...definitely no malicious code in PocketShield. This is one of the best locking apps available. Customer support is second-to-none. Updates come thick and fast with new options and settings. Superb software - just buy it!
I second that pocketshield is an excellent app and have experienced no malware-like effects
has anyone come across an issue with it not locking when waking up?
Mine stopped working and now doesn't lock unless I run the Lock app.
Make sure you have latest v2.1.1
If power off with AeButton or other way not the standard power off, it might not lock.
regards
mine locks very well, but i suggest asking for help @ pocketshield.net there u can speak directly with the developer ..
Pocketshield ROCKS! and the developer has been super-responsive to enhancement/bug reports.

Uninstalling pocketshield
I installed Pocketshield on my phone, then uninstalled it because it was making my phone crash and ending up with a blank screen that was impossible to take out, and now, the phone skin is changed to the theme that comes with Pocketshield. I removed the program, but I can't go back to the original phone skin that comes with the HTC Diamond. How can I go back to original settings without doing a hard reset?
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=1
Softreset
Where you using the official and latest version? Rare issue...

Tnx u are a lifesaver. I had the same problem, dld new version ystrday.
Tnx again
Have you gone through the settings?
I have an HD2 as well and no problems! and so my fellows who recommended it to me.
Pocket Shield
I have tried both Pocket Shield Protector and Pocket Shield Proximity used in conjunction with VolumeX.
I have tried nearly every possible combination of settings to achieve what I need and I always seem to hit one snag or another.
I originally purchased Pocket Shield Protector and VolumeX. When my blue tooth answer button stopped working I switched to Pocket Shield Proximity and Jim was nice enough to switch my registration from the more expensive Protector application to the less expensive Proximity application. I have since asked Jim to move my registration back to the Protector application but he hasn't as of yet.
In general this is a good application, however, it lacks polish on the basic functionality.

stuck in landscape mode...

i think it started while i was trying to install swiftkey x through the android market, but i don't know for sure as nothing i try to install off of market fully installs. i figure i have two separate problems that might be affecting each other.
i have root explorer installed as well as es explorer installed. i don't have any extra keyboards installed.
how do i get unstuck from landscape?
thank you for any feedback.
it also seems that certain screens will only run in portrait mode.
does shed any light on my problem?
i forgot to mention i have nook colour tools installed, but cannot seem to find any settings in there that help the problem.
bump
does anybody have any ideas on what could have me stuck or what might get me unstuck?
thank you for any feedback.
i have been fixed.
it was in the simplest of places. the gear in the top right has a lock setting. i must have locked myself without paying attention.
please lock this thread or whatever. i am sorry for the noob spam.

[Q] Accessing the phone without touch screen

US TMo Leo running NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.1 on NAND by tytung
My TMo Leo touch screen stopped working few days ago, b/c of that I can't do anything w/ it except receiving calls (I can pick up call by pressing the call key).
I am getting a Motorola Razr Maxx in couple weeks(hopefully), so I don't want to spend $50 to fix the touch screen.
All the remote control app I seem all require some type of setting up on the phone, which I can't do.
Couple questions
Is there any remote control app that doesn't require setup on the phone?
Is there a way to configure the device so it will boot up w/ WiFi Hotspot turn on?
If the WiFi hotspot turns on on boot, I can at least use my tablet to get online, email and make a call (through Google voice).
Thanks

Seems like youre in a real pickle lol . As far as i know , pertaining to remote apps , there isnt one which does not need initial setup . What you could try though is having someone else setting it up , then extracting the settings files and db files and using adb push to push them onto your phone and try that . Thats all i can think of . Best of luck !
Maybe have problem with your rom...??
Wipe all your data, task29,,,,
You can change to another ROM,,,if the problem from your ROM,,,

Is your screen completly off or can U see your screen?
In android commander there is a virtual input with buttons and U don't need any setup on your phone....only a working ADB connection!
So with this panel U can easily navigate through system settings.
And there is also an input panel.

Side buttons config

Hi, everybody!
I tried to search for a similar thread before I created this one, but I couldn't find one. So, if there really is one (or several), you have my apologies.
I've been playing with the side buttons config using the app NookTouchTools. First, I set them as if they were volume buttons, and they worked nice. Then, when I changed my reader app, I tried setting one of the buttons back to the way it were, to see if it worked. When I rebooted, none of the buttons worked and I've been trying out new configs since then to make them work, but it's useless.
Please, someone help me (it's really frustrating)!
PD: if you need some info about the software, ask me so I can ask my cousin, who rooted my NST.
So you're not having luck changing them around with Nook Touch Tools anymore? Are yu rebooting after changing them in NTT?
Ask your cousin if he blocked OTA updates. Unlikely anything happened recently, but an update pushed by B&N can break your root access.

Yes, that's the problem. No matter how I do it, or how many times I try, it just doesn't work...

Surprisingly (for me), he has no idea. How can we find out?
I am the cousin. I didn't do anything special, just what I did to mine, and mine's fine. Maybe reinstalling NookTouchTools or something like that?

You could try uninstalling, then reinstalling. There are no error messages or anything useful being shown? Do all other root functions work properly?
Finally, which one of you is bigger? Sounds like there's one working NST between you.

Did you change your default B&N reader? What did you change it to? Do the buttons not work in the reader only
or not in any other apps (like CoolReader).

My cousin will have to answer to all that...

Apparently he's on vacation so he will post in a few weeks...

No error messages anywhere. I just try to change the config, reboot and they keep on ignoring me...

I think I didn't change the default reader (not in purpose, at least), but I'm not really sure. When I use the B&N library to choose a book, it asks me which reader it is to use.
As for the other question, the buttons do not work at all. It is as if they have lost their config (in fact, in NookTouchTools no config appears).
P.D.: I'm going away on holiday again on Tuesday, so I will be long in answering again. Thanks for your help!
We have tryed wiping dalvik caché, fixing permissions, and reinstalling NookTouchTools. Any ideas?
I was having some other problems, probably concerning permissions, so I decided to re-root the device. The problem is, when I try to boot into ClockWorkMod, it doesn't load, but boots as usual, even though, in theory, CWM is successfully written in the microSD.
Any suggestions as to why that happens?
EDIT: The NTS was successfully re-rooted, after several hours working on it. The side buttons work correctly and everything is OK. Now, just to make sure this doesn't happen again, how do I block these OTA updates bobstro talked about?
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Disable Home Button Wake

Anyone know of a way to disable the home button wake without root? Didn't know if they tucked something away in settings somewhere. Every time I stick the device in the case I have the screen comes on and continues to do it on and off. Probably in my pocket as well.

I have looked as well and cant seem to find any way to do it. Tried a search but no luck yet. If I find a way I will post it here.
According to Samsung there is no way to do it and they are hinting it might be added as an option in future update. Guess I will just have to wait till I root the device.
