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!!

It works. Except that device must be connected via USB while configuring this.

Is external touch screen control possible?

Hello all, I've been wondering lately if it's possible for an Android phone to be plugged into an external touch screen and be completely controlled via the external touchscreen?
By possible, I actually mean easily done via some basic or maybe not so basic code.
I know some Android devices offer mirroring via mini hdmi, but you usually have to either control using a remote or the phone. I'd rather have it connect through the micro-usb port, lay the phone somewhere else, and fully control the phone through the external touch screen.
I tried to search, but wasn't sure what to use for the search and all I found was ways to remotely control you pc using your device.

no i dont think so....a web application is there for controlling your phone via wifi with the help of router..
Airdroid try it..

Thanks for the reply. I'll give Airdroid a try, but I was looking for a more direct option. I'm thinking there has to be a way since the webtops/laptop docks seem to work well, but again those use mouses/keyboards for control.

I am hot on this idea too
I have a lilliput 4 wire resistive screen that i want to use a carputer.
I have seen one solution that is stuck in "coming soon" that requires some manual intervention called customgadz...google it. It's expensive.
I have googled endlessly to try and find a way to input the Liliput directly into the Atrix HD dock as a USB input but the touch screen needs to be calibrated.
So i've resorted to emailing liliput to see what they say.

[Q] portable phone drivers?

hi everyone, so i'm wondering if there is any way to install the motorola drivers to a flash drive... basically i want to connect my phone to my work computer but i do not have admin rights. the reason i want to do this is because our internet connection is extremely slow and unreliable, so i would like to use my unlimited data plan from my phone tethered to the computer. Ive done quite a bit of searching online, and short of cracking the admin password (which i dont want to do) i havent found anything that could help. If anyone has any ideas i would be very appreciative...
the IT guys are offsite, so asking them is not really an option... altho if i do see one here ever i plan on bugging him to install the drivers for me.

if i understand correctly, i think you would need the drivers installed on the computer to do usb tethering. the only thing i can think of is to have a whole bootable OS on the thumb drive, and boot that up and tether inside there. or maybe someone else knows something more..
i don't tether much, so i also don't know if there are any good wireless tethering options on thins device.. had you thought of that at all?

Without admin rights, having the stuff on a USB key is kinda useless - as you'd need admin rights to run the software on the USB key.
If you don't have the proper rights on the machine, you won't be able to install the appropriate software.
You could wifi tether, but if it's a workstation there's probably no wifi chip - and if you had a USB one you wouldn't be able to install the drivers for it...
If you're at work, unfortunately you're just going to have to work mate

yeah thats what i was afraid of unfortunately. thanks for the ideas though... guess i will just have keep streaming music through the phone...

[Q] Can an Android phone run without a screen?

I wanted to strip a phone down to it's bare necessities so it would fit into a laptops spare hard drive slot to be used as an 3G modem (provider only allows phones to use unlimited plans).
If I remove the screen will it still function enough to be commanded via ADB?

The screen is just an output device, so you should still be able to give it commands remotely, similar to a rasberry pi, but how would you enable usb debugging and/or troubleshoot issues that may arise with the device?

I'd enable debugging beforehand, the idea was to just toggle tether via ADB, nothing major so the only issue I could think of would be heat, but shouldn't be an issue hopefully.

Possible.

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?

They want a way to remotely turn the PC on and off also, not just access remotely.

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?

OP boot from onboard lan is what you need. You need to turn off the other ones. you need to plug your pc in with an Ethernet cable and follow the instructions from the video in my post above
