Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

My digitizer is not working so the screen is unresponsive, i was messing around with AE button plus and managed to mess up my ok button enter button, and up button, which are now dis-functional. The only annoying thing is that before it stopped working i had my music player on a playlist so it only plays the one's in the playlist. Now i am sick of those songs, and i want to access the whole library, is there a way to get back to the whole library? Like a way to delete the playlist from my PC or do something. Im desperate.

Touch pro 2 from sprint btw

You could probbably get the screen replaced for like 50 bucks tops.

I didnt have that issue persay, although there was a crack in my screen so I bought a new one on ebay for 15 bucks.

but when seperating the lcd from the screen the damn thing ripped because they had sooooooo much glue on the damn thing.

So now Im waiting on another lcd to get here so I can replace it.
the lcd was another 20 bucks on ebay

I dont recomend doing it yourself...

As far asw the music issue...

You should be able to sync it to your computer, assuming you have windows media player on it and edit the songs and such.

You should be able to load MyMoblier on your PC to connect to your TP2. Category Archives: Windows Mobile

Yep, MyMobiler or EveryWAN should give you access. I also recommend you pay for the repair or if you want to attempt it yourself buy the digitizer&lcd already assembled to make things a lot easier.

Thanks that actually worked a lot. I would repair it, but im up for a new phone at the end september, im thinking about the htc evo. Another thing. How exactly do i map a key to send text messages. Not to type but to send? and how do i restore the original buttons

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

You can use a keyboard controller to reassign hardware keys to whatever you want! Restore the buttons with the same program below.

I'm going to make a recommendation, go for the HTC arrive it's just like the tp2 but with better hardware on the inside and with mango coming out very soon it will be a kickass phone. I already have the beta on it and it is amazing but by the time u get it the mango should already be official.

as for ur problem a soft reset by lifting the battery cover should solve the music issue and for the buttons u can use either the program that @Tinkerbell suggested, use the dedicated text key on the HW keyboard,or perform a hard reset to restore the phone back to how it was when u got it. this is perfect for diagnosing hardware issues.

just as a side note , it doesnt pay to have the insurance anymore . especially with lcd screens going for 15 bucks on ebay . i hate asurion , they sent me 2 faulty replacements . Im getting pissed .

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

I smell an HTC Arrive in ur future. that's what happend to @JohnMcD348

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

true enough. I order a new digitizer from ebay awhile ago cause I bought this phone orriginially off ebay and it was physically damaged but ran like a champ.

The screenwas scratched to hell (but visible and functional) and the housing was chipped and cut

All and all it just wasnt pretty.

So I bought compleat new housing for the phone. but when it came to seperating the digitizer from the lcd...
yeah.. no bueno.

I followed all proceduers exactly according to multiple sources. But there was just so much damn glue (or rather I should say tar.. ) holding the screens togeather that my lcd ripped.

Its still functional but it has streams and black spots right now.
I just got a new lcd today so ima take it up to a repair store and have them do it this time. I found a place that told me hed only charge 15 bucks in labour if I bring in the part.

Might as well right?

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

thanks guys lol you are all helping so much, got to sending texts now, final thing how do i map a key to take pictures with camera?

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

I actually have an app for that lol.
But idk if you can set it without use of the touch input :/

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

whats the app name? I think i can use the MyMobile thing on the pc to set it up, as long as i can set the shutter to a physical button

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

I'll just post it
It lets you assighn a long press on any botton to the camara.
I use the long press talk

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

instead of having to tap the screen it acts as a physical camarea botton. I havnt used it in about 6 months so Im not 100 percent sure if it will launch it.. but I know for a fact that it will take the snap shot for you when the camara is running.

I know that on the energy roms, if you go to settings, personal, then bottons...

You can reassighn the long press for the send and end keys.

It has the option to reasighn either to be camara

Its been while since Ive activly used any other rom, but Im sure thats possible on other roms right?

You could use the keyboard controller to set one of your keys on long press to run the camera.exe to open it then use aedon's app for the shutter. Also, scilor's leocameraanykey should work the same way too. I use it on mine. I have the volume buttons assigned as the zoom and shutter.

Re: Broken Screen, need alternate routes!!
 

thats the same app i think i posted. i dont remember its original name lol.
I renamed everything awhile ago cause my apps folder was a MESS

You could put your tp2 in disk drive mode and move it over when connected to your pc or put it in the synced My Documents folder and when you sync it will be copied there. Or you could put the cab on a storage card and when you put it in your device it's there.
