My phone (moto g5 plus, Android 8.1) won't let me unlock it: I'll enter the code and the System UI (apparently) crashes and returns me to the lock screen. No problem, just reboot the phone, right? Except that the power button has also recently broken. Oh, and I thought I had USB debugging turned on, but apparently I don't, and I can't connect it to a computer in the normal way because I can't get past the lock screen to enable the USB connection. So I have 2 questions...
1) If I let the battery drain, does anyone know if the G5 Plus will turn on automatically when charged again, without requiring use of the defunct power button? (I know some phone models do; I suspect this one doesn't; if anyone knows for sure one way or the other you have my thanks in advance)
2) If I do a factory reset remotely via Google Accounts, does the phone definitely restart automatically without me having to turn it on with the power button?
3 (bonus) Any other suggestions on ways to either unlock or reboot this phone would be welcome.
(yes, I know I shouldn't have let things get to this state, but things have been really busy lately and this was the last thing I needed to deal with. Learn from my mistakes, friends.) |
