@Stefano i have a pro5 on ubports as a daily phone, so i hope it will be updated to Xenial.

@mv i just have the same issue, my phone (volla phone) seems to be remote controlled (i had dekko2 and navigator openned, and it tries to open terminal typing a password ...). I shut down it and reboot and it seems ok now. I'm on the stable channel, never change.
I also faced this last weeks some freeze with the touch screen that need to reboot the phone, and the bluetooth with the car (toyota touch and go 2) doesn't work anymore (i have to shut down the bluetooth of the car to avoid connection, otherwise when i'm not in the car i lost sound and micro when calling ....)

@bolly yes i need to enter the password, and no, i don't see any light on the keyboard. Morevover, now the wakeup alarm doesn't work anymore, so i don't know the real state of the phone. The only thing i know is when i plug the phone on my computer, it mounts it with mdp, so i guess the phone is started.

i'm still not able to connect my phone to the compuetr, even trying unlock it with an external keyboard. I'm not sure on how it works still i never try this before. What i notice too is that the phone is mounted on mtp://Meizu_Pro5_etc , does that mean it is not on storage mode?
And so finally, what are the shortcuts from the keyboard that can work? can i launch the terminal app and maybe try to change something in blind mode ?

Thanks for you help and ideas

@bolly oh yes, i will try this (i didn't thought to search this kind of adaptator )

As guessed, the reboot didn't work, the screen is really dead.

@bolly that's a good idea but i never tried it before and i'm almost sure that the bluetooth is off .... And i don't have keyboard with usb-c if it can work on the meizu pro5 usb-c connector ....

@applee unfortunalty i looked at it and it seems to ask the phone to be screen unlocked .... i try and it cannot be able to connect. So now all my tiny hopes are on the reboot .... so i guess all is lost.

@applee thanks for the tips, but i have no mobile network at home and the wifi is off (i wasn't at home when the screen died) so i can't connect to it (moreover i know that i can do ssh from my mobile to my computer but not the reverse one). And i doubt that the tactile is still working, i can't stop the wakeup alarm to repeat every 15 minutes .... And for this one i'm pretty sure where i have to tap to stop it
I may have to see with adb ....

Hello,

My phone (meizu pro5) has the screen dead, well i guess it is. I have a black screen but the phone works, the wakeup alarm has worked this morning so now i wait for it to empty the cell and reboot with the very very very little hope the screen will restart ..... So if it is dead, i'd like to save all my contact list (even other things) from my computer (with ubuntu too), but i have 2 difficulties : the first one is that i see my phone but nothing is in the directory (if i remember well i used to have to unlock the screen to see the contents of my phone on my computer) and the second one is to find and be able to read the contact list. So if the second is not possible, i will not try to solve the first one I thought i have copy the contacts to the sim card but it was not the case ... I'm waiting for to receive my new ubuntu phone (i have chosen the Volla Phone) so maybe i can save an unreadable file (i mean a non-ascii file) and copy it to the new one.

For the moment i can't try to connect it to the computer because i want to empty the cell first (i have the notification light on so i can see when it will be off) and plug it and so reboot it.

Hello, i have the same issue with the last updates (OTA 15, but maybe with 13 too, for sure it wasn't the case with 12) and it's on a meizu pro5. Caller have echo when they speak to me, and i have nothing on my side.

ok i did the update to version 3 and i'm still with OTA 5, but in stable channel now.
i hope it will be clearer in the future

Thanks for your help.
