The ddms tool in the Android SDK will get screen captures over USB Debug of course.

Anything remotely?

I don't think it's possible without root because you need to take snapshots of your phone and taking snapshots needs root. (unless you use ddms)

Zeam launcher can take screenshots of your home screen (not tested by me). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
But I think you are talking about live watching your mobile screen on PC, aren't you?

Most of these live view server take pictures of your screen and send it over the internet. There is also the issue with port forwarding. The only service that has pulled off remote screen viewing server without port forwarding has been teamviewer.

Teamviewer exists for Android? I'm fine with the picture taking...

This is fairly new to the forum if you haven't seen it.. but it does require root.

Does not have to be over USB. ADB can connect via TCP.
Code:
- disconnect device from usb then tell it to listen on 4455
adb tcpip 4455
restarting in TCP mode port: 4455
- connect to the device using a specified ip:port. my device is using wifi
adb connect 192.168.1.103:4455
connected to 192.168.1.103:4455
- now do normal adb commands over tcp
adb shell
- when your done, you can put it back in USB mode
adb usb
restarting in USB mode
You can also set an environment variable called ADBHOST with the IP address and adb will attempt to connect to that ip.
Now I am not sure if DDMS can connect to the device over tcpip, but if adb can, and ddms uses adb to connect, it should be possible.

BUMP. Any success here?

Its been a while, was wondering if there have been any solutions to this.

Android ScreenControl without root
Have a look at this ... Its something I have been working on ...
http://piglings.blogspot.com/2011/08/android-screen-control-without-root.html
Hope that helps !
Cheers,
Vikram.

I found this and thought it will be helpful as I ended up on this thread during my search.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
Follow this link: it has everything.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
So far only PC is supported I think.
The app also gives you the ability to use your PC keyboard remotely over wifi, it also has shortcuts for home, menu, back, etc.
The one thing that you might need to figure out is the display option in the mobile app settings.
I chose to keep it #3 - others ... that's the only way I can see the screen on my razr maxx!!
Also, if you are having weird screen problems, the website has the FAQ section and other pages to tweak the settings so that it works fine!!
Now it is a bit slow ... but none the less very useful ... I use it to change music while my phone's connected to speakers and chatting with people on Viber/WeChat/WhatsApp ... comes in pretty handy!!
Hope this helps!! cheers!!

Linux – Remote Desktop Viewer (use the command line). Remote Desktop Viewer is pre-installed in Ubuntu.
nice, I've already tried this, but it's not responsive enough
I try and is wonderful
Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 usando Tapatalk
I tried this on my Motorola Droid.
For Windows, I had some trouble getting it to work. Tight VNC works, RealVNC does not. You have to play with the colors and settings a little bit (it doesn't like compression).
Useful, but not useful enough for me to want to leave it running all the time....
little bit slow, but worth it
didnt work for me. Ultra VNC and TightVNC and I played with settings. Most I got was a black screen. VNC server thing is like stuck so I revoked permissions etc. Even rebooted to get it out for sure. Now did those adb commands just leave my ports exposed? how do I ensure they are closed? For me too, I got no keyboard to put a password for the server.
Update...Ok it works, but that VNC thing is buggy on my Nexus.. I don't see anything but a black screen. If I click in approximate location of where the buttons are to stop and start server i click the button on my nexus. So I got no display and I fiddled with the settings and cannot get it working from my pc with UltraVNC or Tightvnc.. Oh well.
I'd also would like to know about the adb commands opening ports on my phone. I want to make sure those are closed, so I'd appreciate a way to confirm that. It will be cool when/if I can vnc to my phone. Not sure why you would want to but regardless it would be fun to do.
I just use TeamViewer to connect droid to laptop, i leave my laptop at home on Wi-Fi signal all the time and connect to my laptop thatway i can browse and download torrents on a whim, access all my files and use ftp to transfer to phone i can access any kind of file on my phone because i installed Download All Files
Worked for me, defy+ and TightVNC on Ubuntu
Slow, but great!

[HOW-TO] Remote control your phone from Windows

Easiest way I've found to do this is by using a program called MyMobiler http://www.mymobiler.com
This was tested on ViperS 1.1.0 ROM and works like a charm.
1) Enable USB debugging on phone and connect USB.
2) Install and start MyMobiler on your pc.
3) In your systray on pc: right click the MyMobiler icon and select Connect. This will install MyMobiler on your phone.
4) Start MyMobiler on your phone. Enter settings as below.
5) Repeat step 3 and you should now be able to see and control your phone from your pc!
Settings are as follows (on phone)...
All display related settings on auto.
Display resolution: High
Change touch: Service-Touch
Change touch method: Ginger
Change touch origin: Default
Also, enable the MyMobiler keyboard from within settings if you want to use your keyboard to type!
Hope this is useful for someone!
Can't get it to work.
The Windows part and the Android parts both install on their respective devices but they don't communicate.
ADB recognizes the phone, but this program does not.
i ever tried remote windows from phone, but never from windows to phone
if you want to remote windows from phone, just use team viewer, and it will works like a charm

That's strange. Maybe it has something to do with USB device drivers in Windows?

That's very weird. usually if adb recognizes the phone (which means USB driver is installed correctly), then program based on adb will work. Do you see something like the attached image under device manager?

I have tried it and both are connecting well.
However i am only able to use it for typing and not for selecting icons on my handset.
ok, just another option, you can try our new app, vmlite vnc server, it will surely work, you have full control of the phone, wifi or USB, rooted or unrooted devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
so far, users like it
Airdroid app is not bad either.
You can use a standard browser to control your phone.

I need to control my pc with my android phone from far away

I have an xperia c4 which is marshmallow 6.0 and a windows 10 desktop pc. I will be 500 km away from home for a while. The thing is, I want to be able to browse some stuff on my pc from far away, once I get the computer on I know I can do it with chrome remote desktop but I want to know how can I do the pre-work so I can get the computer on with phone from 500 km away. Any info is appreciated thanks in advance. I know that wake on lan thing btw but I think it needs both devices on same network I assume?

this is what I'd personally use. Teamviewer has the option to start even before being logged into the PC allowing you to connect then login and access files and such.

But I don't think it has the option to turn on/off the PC remotely, it can only access remotely. They want control so they don't have to leave their PC on all the time that they are gone, they want to turn it on remotely to access it remotely then turn it off when they are done.

True.
OP You need to check your Bios For a wake on alarm funtion to turn on at a specfic time of day or a wake on lan function in your bios.
Obviously the Alarm function has some limits that being that It will only turn back on at a specific time of day and you'll have to wait until then if its been shut off. Another thing you could do I mentioned above is if your bios supports a wake on lan function to enable that Plug your pc directly into the Router/Modem via ethernet. Make sure it's one that has internet access and take note of your ip address. You can find on google by searching just "IP" if your ip is not formatted like 111.222.333.444 and instead looks like a bunch of hex Characters that's your IPV6 a0dress to find your IPV4 address which you'll connect with you may need to login to your router and look around a bit its usually under something along the lines of Advanced>Connection Info/Settings and follow the steps in the video here as someone posted above.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDjjMO3az84 Note you're going to want to use the second option as far as the android app goes because you're not going to be on your home network while being abroad(obviously). Once you get either setup a wake on alarm or wake on lan setup you can then install teamviewer. I recommend making an account then adding your PC to teamviewer and setting a custom password that you'll remember to connect to it. Also make sure the teamviewer services are on automatic as they need to be started when the machine boots on not after login.
After that you should be all set if you need further help with anything as i probably missed something just ask Also this is really messy I'm pretty tired it being almost 2am

Well, I there is no wake on lan on my bios but I found these; Ring in power on, Boot from onboard Lan, pci devices power on.
I think these are relevant so I enabled all of them.,
And I tried the video btw. I tried to wake the pc on wifi network but it did not work :/ so all of these mean i cannot turn my pc on remote?

Backup of whole system via ADB - Touchscreen broken & not readable

Hello,
unfortunately my S7 fell to the ground and what began with a very small pixel-sized purple dot, now spread all over the screen so I can't see anything on the screen. Thereby I can't confirm any prompts.
When I plug the device via USB to my Linux computer, calling for "adb devices" the phone is listed "offline". I also tried the ADB suite on a windows computer, where it is "unauthorized". I can't confirm the prompt as the touchscreen doesn't work.
Are there any cables, that allow to connect to a working screen (TV) or that allow multiple connections for PC and wired mouse? The idea is, to connect to the computer and then blindly clicking, hoping to hit the correct button eventually.
Is there a solution, using the hard buttons in order to get to a certain boot mode? I read something about this, but didn't find a way, yet. The phone is not rooted.
Best regards
Jens

[APP][8.0.0+][ROOT] Start ADB Over Wi-Fi [Root]

Hi , I have made an app that enables you to connect 2 your phone wirelessly, using ADB. The app opens port tcp port 4774 n showcasesthe command needed to connect the device, the app also showcases the devices IP so you don't have to look it up, root is required 4 the root method. There are also premium versions available which remove adds, two are obtainable UnLockKkAyyy which should also unlock any other apps w/ it in the description, if they ever might be released n Start ADB Over Wi-Fi Unlocker which should only unlock this app.
Google play LiNKs:
Start ADB Over Wi-Fi [Root]​
Start ADB Over Wi-Fi Unlocker​
UnLockKkAyyy​
This should be about it for now .

What's great is the OP is helping people connect rooted Android to PC adb completely wirelessly (without the initial need for the USB cable), where I'd like to ask the kind-hearted developer if he knows of a Windows PC networking command that we can run from the PC which tells us which port is being used for that adb connection.
More details on WHY I ask that question are over here...
[adb,scrcpy,vysor] What ports does Android 12 randomly set when Wi-Fi connecting via Wireless debugging adb "pair" or "connect" commands?
Bearing in mind I'm NOT ROOTED (and my phone can't be rooted); so that's why I ask for help in determining the random Developer options Wireless debugging port after the fact...
I think I am missing the point of this app. Isn't ADB over WiFI a standard feature of android, under developer options?

The first post is from 2021, I definitely basically have used it well before that. However I do use custom ROMs. And as I implied it’s already there. One of the big concepts of Android OS is to use what’s there, not add on , which is basically a duplication.
