[Q] inquiry on usb port of alcatel tab t10

good day to everyone. firstly, i would like to thank you for having the time to read my post.
well basically heres my inquiry, my unit is the alcatel tab t10. i never had any problems with it until recently, my device's usb port suddenly stops working.
tried unchecking the usb debug mode, tried checking it but to no avail, the usb still does not work. it doesnt seem to connect to my laptop. tried changing the cable.
i also tried connecting my device to my brothers laptop.
correct me if im wrong, but when the usb fails to connect to any laptop, their should be a notification in the laptop that the device is not recognized. but in my condition, no notification shows up. its like my device does not really connect at all.
oh and if it helps, i bought an otg cable before it started malfunctioning. but the only thing i had conneceted to my device is a wired mouse and a wired generic gamepad, which both seems to be working perfectly fine.
also, if i connect my device to a wired mouse, it would work perfecly fine. i could also connect to a usb flash drive, that is via the otg cable.
so whats weird is that the usb cable does not work, but the otg cable works fine.
if you have any question or any suggestion , i would truly appreciate it.

Hmm.....well the good thing is the port itself isn't "dead" as you can still utilize it for OTG. My only suggestion is make a backup of all your apps and data and try a factory reset.

thank you for the suggestion guitarman2010. unfortunately my usb port isnt still working. i also reflashed my device's current firware. but still wasnt the solution i was looking for. i was just wondering if there is a directory under the root folder that holds the devices usb driver? would it be possible that the device's driver itself got deleted? i wam still at awe that the otg cable still works like a charm.
and another thing, is the male usb pin the same with the flash drive's pin? cause if i connect the usb cable to the otg cable it wont work, but the flash drive works normally.
sorry for the amount of question im posting
thank you very much for the suggestion. especially when u told me that the port itself wsnt dead. i can now breathe easier..
and future suggestion and advice would be appreciated.

do you guys know how to access the phoneutil in tablet? maybe i should change the usb option to pda? but i heard that its only applicable to samsung 4.0.3 devices? suggestions are appreciated.

Control S3 with broken screen

I have my wife's old S3. The screen is broken and the touch sensitivity doesn't work.
It is unlocked and I can connect it to my PC monitor with an MHL cable and see the screen. This requires a charging cable to be plugged in for it to work (not the case with the S4 and S5)
I have a USB keyboard and mouse which will control it using a USB OTG cable. If this is plugged in via the MHL cable on an S5 it doesn’t control the phone, so I guess the S3 will be the same even if I could get the screen to display after removing the charging cable.
I have a Chromecast so I could screen cast but would need a way to set this up on the phone first. Then I could just use the USB mouse and keyboard.
I want to install tasker, wake on lan and connect the phone to a wireless network. I will then use the phone to remotely wake a PC by sending it a text message (can’t set ARP entry in router). I already have this set up on an S4 at home. I have an S5 spare but don’t want to waste it for this purpose so would like to find a way to configure the S3.
Does anyone know how I can somehow access the S3 screen and also control the phone at the same time? I have seen a post referencing needing USB debugging but with very little other info.
Or, just in case, does anyone possibly know a way to run wol when the router doesn’t support it e.g. use a raspberry pi etc. so I can just forget the phone method?

HELP: Data recovery with broken screen

I am trying to get some help for my sister who needs to get her data from here Galaxy S6 but her screen is cracked with no visible display. In order to access the data she needs to put the phone into USB debugging or click her phone to allow her laptop access. With a broken screen she is unable to do either of those, and she has also tried using Kies, a newer Samsung app and that thing where it remotely detects your device but none of it has worked.
She has an otg cable with TV-Out but it isn't her S6. Would using another otg cable as a bridge between her phone and her TV-Out otg cable work? I would prefer a more simple solution than this as I am not in the same country as her so I'm not there to see what is going on for myself.
Thank you,

Unfortunately you can't do tv out on the s6 via otg, it doesn't have that function. The only other option is maybe connecting a mouse or keyboard via otg to try and allow access.

She does have a mouse she can put in but if she can't see the screen she can't click the prompt to allow access. There isn't a way of circumventing that prompt to get access to the files?

Anyway to backup with black screen/dead touch screen, no usb debug? HDMI to type C?

Hello everyone,
I would really like some help advice/experience from other here regarding the HTC U11. I was just using the device normally one day and the screen went black completely. I think the touch screen is dead as well, as it doesnt seem to respond when I attempt my usual pattern unlock from muscle memory. I am sure the device is still working normally as I had... accidentally connected to emergency operators, could still use Whatsapp Web and my PC does show HTC U11 but I am unable to change the option to MTP to transfer my files.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can access my data through enabling usb debugging/ changing the connection mode to MTP? Apart from repairing the screen only.
While I am not sure about the software options. I am attempting to output using a Type C to HDMI hub to output display and use a mouse to access the phone. Since it was rather hard for me to find answers about the compatibility and usage so I was hoping to get some experiences so can quickly attempt this method when the few cables I purchase arrive.
1) Are these type C to HDMI cables generic? I have seen some articles saying there are type C to hdmi with MHL and others with digital output and I confused if those I bought will work with the U11. (Seller says works to Macbook, Xiaomi, Huawei P20)
2) Are these adapters simply plug and go? Do I have to unlock the screen or install any firmware (as I clearly dont have a screen haha..)? Does this apply for both the HDMI output and using a mouse
3) Would I specifically need a SMART TV with HDMI to get output out or any monitor with HDMI would work fine?
If anyone have a working U11 and using HDMI to Type C would really love to hear from you!
Thank you for any advice/experiences in advice!

Access Phone with broken Digitizer

The Touchscreen on my device is entirely unresponsive, which leads me to believe that the digitizer broke (the display is fine and i already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the displays ribbon cable). I already bought a new device but this old phone has some data that i would like to access. I have tried to connect both keyboards and mice to it but it seems to not accept USB connections before entering the password. I tried 2 OTG adapters that work on other devices but not with this one. I can't connect with adb either. is there a way for me to enter my password and gain access to my data?

The OPPO Find X2 Lite has OTG support. Keep trying.

i assumed that it supports OTG, but since my devices didn't connect i thought the phone might reject usb connections before it's unlocked. is this false? i also noticed that it supports otg 1.3 and 2.0, but my otg device is 3.0 . could that be the reason it didn't work?
*edit: it also connects the keyboard in recovery mode

i tried using OTG 2.0 and it didn't work either. predictable but still disappointing.

In order to use OTG you must enable it first in settings every time you want to use it, but with no digitizer you can't do it.. oppo messed up things by not doing this automatically or at least gave us the option to have it always enabled..
