Managed to completely break my screen and somehow I managed to turn on some pesky alarms and such on my phone and it's extremely annoying, so I need to find a way to turn them off.
Jokes aside, is there anything I can do to mirror my phone to my computer and use my mouse and keyboard to control it? I've seen some where you have to start it on the phone first, but that's out of the question for me since the screen is 100% unusable.
Edit: I'm thinking the best course of action is to connect my USB mouse to it and use adb screenshots to work my way around to get AirDroid going.

Why hallo thare Infinity peeps!
I have started to use my Infinity to charge my Gnote at school and I just noticed that when I turn of the screen/lower the pad to the dock, it stops charging the phone. I guess this is some kind of powersaver feature and I cant find a way to turn it off, anyone know how??
The dock is only on when the tablet is. No other way around it.
argh, that sux.. :/ No way of charging from the HDMI port?
Not to my knowledge, no.
While I'm sure it's true you can't charge with the tablet off, you might be able to turn the screen off without turning the tab off, at least save some power. I'd explore tasker for that if I were you. Might have to get creative, but I'm sure it's possible to find some sort of compromise.
For example, you might create a scene with a button to trigger 1) mute the volume 2) play an mp3 on a loop 3) turn the display off.
Hi
I broke my phone by jumping and it flew out my pocket, the screen shattered and then someone hit my phone out my hand today and now the screen won't turn on. The phone works fine, just the screen is black. I can't unlock it, it has a pin on it so I can't retrieve all my data especially the data not backed up online... This is a huge problem as I need it for work.
Is there any way I can use some type of emulator on my PC to use my mouse to unlock the phone?
I have bitdefender on my phone, I also have splashtop. Is there any way I can use either of these?
Dropped my phone down a stairwell and the screen is broken and does not come on. I have a replacement screen coming, but want to be able to take some backups just in case.
Is there a way to view, and control, the screen, without the screen itself working? I've tried Android Screencast but can't get control. Any tips?

TeamViewer is free for personal use and lets you remote in and control the device, you can also try Android VNC Server, but if you cannot see the screen these would be had to setup or open.
I have TeamViewer installed, but see no way to log into the phone without being able to start the app and see the screen.

My only other suggestion would be to setup adb on a pc and pull the files you need through that.
Just to follow up, I was able to find no way to control the phone. Replacing the screen/digitizer was quick and very easy, though. Took less than 10 minutes.
Did you enable the USB Debugging? if so, you can control use adb, otherwise, there is no way.
Hello, I appologize if this is not the right place to post this in.
Now, My xperia Z3 has had a very hard time... with 3 bodge wires running thorugh it, and eventually a faulty screen (Sometimes it would turn off, sometimes half off, sometimes colors get inverted) which lead to it getting cracked by my thumb(!) and then to me accidentally shorting out the backlight....
When the screen cracked and was partially broken, i connected an otg mouse and removed the lock screen. I also made sure USB debugging was on. so i should be good and dandy right?
The computer recognizes it but nothing shows up. i know that it automatically sets itself to charge only...
I try to use visor, which works perfectly on my new phone, but it tells me that the phone doesnt have USB debugging on, I know for a fact that the phone is displaying a prompt telling me if I want to allow the computer, the RSI fingerprint and all.....
Phone is stock, no recovery. i have no experience with ADB commands but open for experimentation. all I want is the whatsapp media folder. Thank you!
I appologize for the bad original title. I hope someone can help me now?
Hello.
My wife dropped her Z3 earlier today for the second time in as many months! But midway through getting the screen replaced, I decided to buy her a new phone. As the repair shop had already started the job, her phone is now pretty much unusable, no display or touch function.. I've managed to reassemble it enough to get the battery light on to see that it is charging, and I can feel vibrations on the button press, and my PC detects the phone. It was totally stock, not modded at all. It had a pattern swipe lock on it.
My question is, can I get her text messages off of the phone?
Is there any way at all to access and retrieve them via USB connection?
Thank you for any help.
Hi all - I'm still trying to find a response to this. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I have tried to fit a new display but the new display was not responsive and did not illuminate too. If I can get this to work I can release the passcode and access the phone to recover the SMSs, but so far, no luck.
