[Q] Accessing the phone without touch screen

[tongslee]

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 !

That seem like a lot of trouble... but it may be the only way...
Thanks

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.

I'll look into android commander. Thanks for the tip

OMG... it worked... I had to press it really hard... to the point that I thought it was going to break the glass...
Not sure how long this would last, but hopefully it would work till my next phone gets here.

Thanks
