[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyFake:
Hello xda-members,

the touchscreen of my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i is broken. The display's fine and clean but the touchscreen has to be repaired.

Well, i want a friend of my father to have a look on it, but he's in the holidays right now. So i have to wait 2 weeks.

Meanwhile I would like to use my Play anyways. Because it's working, its just the touchscreen that's not working. That means i could still do a lot with my Play, when only using the hardware buttons. The problem is, i can't bypass the "Standby-Lock" with the hardware buttons.

I'm not sure how that "Standby-Lock" is called, but i mean the one, where you simply have to put your finger on the lock image and draw it to the right side. Luckily, I don't have any security-lock with patterns enabled, just this typical standby-lock, that keeps you from accidently phoning someone or etc. while the phone is in your pocket. I guess you know what I mean.

So, to get to my question: Does anybody know a way, how to bypass this "Standby-Lock" with hardwarebuttons or with help of the computer and usb-cable or anything else, except the use of touchscreen?

I hope there is a way and you can help me. Because that would make these 2 weeks (or more) of waiting so much easier :)

Thank you in advance!

Jimmy F.

What I do is just slide out the Game-Pad and that seems to work, unless you disabled the Xperia Game Launcher from launching when you open the pad?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyFake:
If I slide out the game pad, when I already opened the bypass-lock then the game launcher opens. but with locked standby mode it does not open, i still have to unlock it first. :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
I'm sorry I can't be more help but I am 100% there is a way I just can't remember now
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyFake:
well, hope someone who knows the way, will see this thread,too. Or maybe you'll remember :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
some sort of adb command i think. although really not sure. also not sure if it works on 2.3 as i did it on my old spica on 2.1 :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmo15:
To bypass the lock screen use this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.curity.android.screenlockbypass&hl=en

Install it via pc and install another app to trigger the app to run. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyFake:
I never installed a app via pc, so im telling here what I've done, in case I did something wrong. Firstly, I logged in with my Google Account via Pc and followed your link. Then I clicked on Install and it said the app will be shortly downloaded to my device. So I stared a couple of mins on my device, but nothing was happening. Then I installed some random solitaire app, how the instructions told, in order to trigger the app. Well, I clicked on install as well and it told me the app will be downloaded shortly to my device. I stared another couple of minutes on my device but nothing was happening. :/

Did I anything wrong?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmo15:
It should have registered your device when you used the play store on your phone. Check its the right phone and try a reboot. In the description are the proper instructions. I think it runs on start up anyway.

Weird, its supposed to take over and a toast pops up say bypassed or something if you get there..

:confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyFake:
Unfortunately, it does not work. Even when I reboot the phone. Is there any other way to download the app on the computer and then push it to the phone and install it, via usb?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmo15:
Yes via adb but you'll have to find the apk somewhere.

Sorry i cant help you anymore...:(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
if I have time I will grab the apk for you. It's free so not warez
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyFake:
Thank you, that would be very nice. I was trying myself to download it, but unfortunately the ways to get it, that i found, require me, to be able to use my phone ( which brings me back to my main problem).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
What do you guys expect? Obviously rooted and unlocked devices cost the carriers and MFR's $$$. In lost tethering revenue, increased RMA rates, etc. etc. Don't think for one second that ATT doesn't have a detailed analysis of what rooted users cost them in terms of both lost revenue and increased RMAs.

This is a cat and mouse game, it's futile to ask the mouse to just jump in the cat's mouth.

I don't get it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Good thing I got an international one x?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I see your point. But why can Vivid be unlocked while ours can't? Either lock all of them or none. All I want is for att to allow HTC to fulfill their pledge to unlock the bootloaders on all of their devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kamots:
Liked:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Good question, dunno. Is it out of warranty? Maybe once devices hit a certain age they don't fear the RMA flood.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

Yep, and you're locked out of their latest gen network and htc is assuming no liability because you waived your warranty when you unlocked it.

Thing is, with att, even if you waive warranty on HTCDEV they have no way to check that. And they have customers in there face on a 2 year contract "hey my device just randomly stopped working, I need a new one!". What are they supposed to do?

Again, I'm not taking sides. I think we have a right to do what we're doing, I'm just saying I don't ever expect the carriers to embrace it.

And look at this angle.

With 1.85 and unlocked BL and root, I could write a cool app and submit it to the market. Some sort of backup app or boot animation or whatever, so it requires root, of course. And I could set it up to timebomb permabrick EVERY SINGLE DEVICE it was installed on by trashing SBL3. Can you understand why this makes the carriers nervous?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
They still sell the vivid and several other devices with unlocked bootloaders. The percentage of users who want to do what we want to do with our phones is so small that we would barely be a blip on the bottom line.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Couldn't say it any better!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sproutd:
Right now I'm at a loss of words. I am thankful for the support shown by the community so far. The reason this whole boot loader thing got me going was my inspire 4g. I had 2 years on that phone. It was my first venture into android and i was hooked. Rooted it as soon as I understood what the risks involved. Never bricked it. I only did it to be able to back my phone up entirely. I never expected to run a custom rom. I did and never looked back. I treated that phone badly on day and needed a new one, hence the One X. I had hoped to get a 1.85 but I didn't. I spent $213 dollars over 2 years on apps and in app purchases. I just want to be able to transfer all that to this phone. That shouldn't be too hard. Unfortunately it issue without root. Who is at fault here? Is it AT&T, HTC, or even Google for not providing a way for us to have a working backup utility without root?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Your apps and app purchases can be transferred by logging in to your play account, no?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
I think this is a great idea! I've seen a lot of news lately on new unlockable devices. Verizon GSIII, Motorola phones are now going to be unlockable. Not hack unlockable but legit from the manufacturer like we want. Motorola is doing it similar to HTC, and its getting into the news. If this was so small on their bottom line why are other manufacturers and carriers now doing it? They are doing it because this type of community wanted it right? Why else would they do it? Its obvious Verizon listened to somebody...Its obvious that Motorola did too. So why not ATT? They are using unlockable devices as a selling point for people like us. This community grows everyday. We can make a difference. We are making a difference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
What is Verizon doing exactly??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
I saw there was an app to unlock the boot loader in the play store. The Title read like it was a verizon app. After re reading its not a Verizon app, I thought it was. XDA alone has 4.5 million members. This is a pretty big community. Catering to it can't hurt. Obviously some carriers and manufactures embrace this community. It can't be because we are costing them money or we are irrelevant. I think we can make a difference. It won't be easy. it'll take some time. might not help us with this phone but it may help us in the future. Who knows. I tend to recommend phones that are unlockable vs locked down phones. Even if the person might not unlock it, they have the option. Ive recommended and were purchased 10+og evos, 6 nexus 1's, 4 sensations. 20 phones purchased not counting mine because they were unlock able. That adds up. I'm sure of it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sproutd:
I think what it comes down to as far as ATT is concered is actually

as simple as people tethering when they unlock the bootloader. That is the only reason I can see for their unwillingness to give us an unlocked boot loader.

Apps yes. App data no.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bvrr0:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I don't really understand why tethering would be such a problem. It's an LTE device. It has Netflix, Youtube, and a slew of other programs that hog data. AT&T has big time data caps from what I recall. Do they expect you to pay for data then not use it? That's really shady of them if that's why they won't allow the bootloader unlock.

On the other hand this all begins to make sense. Limit the phone to 16 GB of memory, then you really can't download much unless you tether it. I knew I should have gotten a different phone! I could be rooted on a Galaxy right now!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sproutd:
I can't get an official reason why they do it, I'm just speculating. The memory is another issue. 16 Gb. Brand new, just out of the box, we get 10 Gb usable. Maybe they just don't want us to remove the bloatware!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Lol htc keeps losing every month millions of dollars, I doubt they have time to give a crap about our bootloader stuff.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jags_the1:
One htc employee told me xda's one xl community is not even close to 1% of the total one xl sold. They don't give a ****, by the time you guys have unlocked bootloaders its going to be too late. Doing online petition has and will never work, to make a difference you need to wear those shoes and march with a single motive, which you will not happen because unlocking bootloader is not even real issue, even if it is, it's not the one to be addressed now. The other way is to vote by your pockets, the only possible and most effective way to make a difference.

Stock sense is amazing, i personally see no reason to even root this device, time comes when you see no point in flashing roms anymore. Everyone reaches that stage.

And working on aosp roms is the least efficient thing to do, you work your ass of to get the code right with least amount of donations.

And tweaking the stock rom well get you paid better. That's what has been happening in this forum and most htc devices. ARHD and Leedroid to name a few well donated roms. So basically tweaking can be a profitable, at least on this xl forum. Probobly h8rift is most knowledgeable dev here and i barely see anyone donating him, when he could use the donations way better then other non aosp devs. Just telling you what i noticed. I think i went off-topic?:p

I agree with what you say but I wouldn't mind having Google Now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Not everyone does it for money.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HareyCarey:
I agree with both of you. I absolutely love stock Rom/sense on this phone. However, certain tweaks would be fantastic like optimizations for RAM and CPU/voltage tweaks for battery life. Just the little things that I like everyday. We offered a bounty for s-off but I also agree that those who want to use AOSP could donate more, I suppose, if the donations are truly that low(i don't know)

Either way, I love my phone for what I do everyday. It does errythangs I need it to do and then some.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
I agree with all your points except tethering revenue, only few number of users have unlimited plans that too it will slow down after certain limit, where as others have limited data plans and what is loss if limited users tether?

I am not arguing with you but just putting my point of view
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Their loss is that tethering isn't offered on the old unlimited plans. They want to switch you to a limited plan. And on the limited plans, tethering is only offered on plans $50+, so those of us on the $30 plan aren't allowed to tether.

I'm not saying this is "fair", just that there is a $$$ associated with it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
So you'd rather put your head in the sand and let companies dictate what you do with items that you buy. Good for you.

Really, because I see quite a lot of people who still builds ROMs, mods, and people who want those. Many of us want extra features or to customize our UI to how WE see fit. So, no, not everyone "reaches that stage." If you have, good for you, you no longer apply to XDA. You'd be a great spin-man for AT&T. Perhaps they're hiring?

A majority of the people here who work on ROMs don't do it for money. Sure, there's a prospect for it. They wouldn't do it if they realized there was a potential to not make money, if they were money-driven. Fact of the matter is, the community is here for a reason, and it's driven by some very simplistic human conditions, like curiosity.

HTC's CEO said all HTC devices would be unlockable, and that's what we want. For HTC to keep their word, regardless of who is pulling the strings. They have the best phone on the market right now and that will soon change if they don't listen to their customers. Samsung has made great strides in making their products easily unlockable for the modding community, and they've surpassed HTC's sales because they've done so. Don't think for a second that it wouldn't be possible without us, because it wouldn't.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Don't think for ONE second that the community at XDA has made a dent in Samsung's sales. Give me a break.

What stride did samsung go to to make the SGS3 unlockable?

It's a known fact that Samsung has more clout in this space then HTC. Let's roleplay a negotion:

HTC - "Att - I have this great new phone that we'd like to launch with you"

ATT - "HTC, it's imperative that the device is secure and unlockable"

HTC - "But our CEO promised that we would embrace the dev community"

ATT - "Cool story. Good luck selling your phone on TMobile then"

HTC - "Crap.".

See how this goes?

HTC developed the Nexus One. By and large the most developer-friendly phone to date. It was on both TMobile and AT&T. And guess what? It sold loads. If HTC REALLY wanted to, they could have told AT&T that it had to be dev-friendly. HTC's lack of a backbone will drive them out of business.

And I'm curious to hear the voice transcript of that meeting you posted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Are you kidding? That SGS3 hack is an EXPLOIT. By your logic, HTC gave us root on 1.85, right?

How old is Nexus One? When's the last time Nexus showed up on ATT? And of course the recent versions on verizon were bootloader unlocked, right?

I stated clearly that the "transcript" was a little roleplaying, and in jest at that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
And has Samsung fixed that loophole? Nay.

I think you're just trying to be argumentative because the real point of this thread was to buck up against AT&T and HTC. As consumers, we need to establish a line with these carrieers and MFGs that we want what was promised to us.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I'm not trying to be argumentative at all. I'm stating simply that the carriers are never going to cooperate, because it's in their best interest not to. And it's futile to keep asking them to do this.

What did ATT "promise us"?

And while we're at it, show me where HTC promised to unlock ALL future devices. (I'm not saying that didn't happen, but I've never seen it)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:

Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience," Peter Chou, CEO of HTC"

Ouch, well he either lied or didn't anticipate the lash from carriers. I suspect the latter.

So, should he have kept his promise by discontinuing phone sales in the USA? How would that help us?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
He should have the backbone to tell ATT that "we're doing this, this is one thing we can't negate from our customers." Neither you nor I know the exact reasoning behind the lockdown of the One X, but it's completely against what HTC's very own CEO stated (which, may be legally binding, I'm not sure on that though).

As someone who's given us an exploit for 1.85, I appreciate what you've done for us. But it would be nice if you didn't have to go through that to find an exploit, ya know? It should just be unlockable. No frills, no hassle, no exploits, holes, chainloader scripts.... We should just have our Root and unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I wish it was easy, trust me. Money talks, and corporations rarely have much of a backbone when large orders are on the line.

It's pretty obvious ATT is forcing their hand on this, and I would suspect it was a condition in certifying/carrying the device that it be secure.

So HTC has two options

1.) Lock down the device

2.) don't ship the device to ATT

I'm not trying be argumentative at all BTW. I wish we were all s-off/rooted/unlocked/etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Didn't someone suggest once that AT&T did force HTC to lock the bootloader but maybe HTC was trying to help us out by not closing up the whole that let us change the cid once we found a root method? If I recall, the international One X's cid can't be changed.

Just saying, don't limit your options. Perhaps we should go to HTC and AT&T with this problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] co.ag.2005:
so did ATT start doing this after the Vivid? or is the difference the fact that the HOX is a flagship phone whereas the Vivid wasn't? I'm just trying to understand why the Vivid was unlockable but the HOX isn't (sorry if this has been covered at length already).

I've always wondered this too because this is really the only android phone locked down on ATT (besides the Motorola phones -> which is obviously dictated by Motorola)
