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!

Hey everyone.
I need some help with an HDMI- DVI problem on my MK808B Plus
Goal:
Connect my Android Mini-TV (MK808B Plus) to a specific PC monitor.
Problem:
Monitor has a resolution of 1440x900 and no HDMI.
Story:
I have an old monitor as described above that i want to use for a small project. This project involves an android device. I chose to go with the MK808B Plus. Knowing the connections available on the monitor, i also bought a Mini HDMI to DVI-D adapter cable. I hooked it all up and the monitor detected the input but wouldn't display an image. Just random lines sometimes and then black like it was attempting to connect.
I then hooked it up to another monitor via HDMI and it worked just fine. I then plugged it into the same monitor's DVI port using the adapter and the monitor seemed to see it, and try to display it, but to no avail.
I would like any and all help i can get with this problem. If need be i can even swap the android stick for another model as i have just purchased it.
Thanks
I have no issue getting my Chord Mojo working with the UAPP app on my S8+ but when I try to use band camp, youtube or any other apps it will not route audio to the DAC properly. Note that UAPP uses a proprietary driver for routing data to the extetnal DAC. A notification comes up when connection Mojo to S8+ via micro usb-usb c otg cable(see screenshot below)
I have tried every option in the normal settinsg and developer mode but no matter what it just reverts back to "charge connected device". I have played around with all the USB settings in Developed mode;
Prevent automatic usb routing
Setting the usb device to audio source,
/MTP
Etc
Nothing works.
I even uninstalled UAPP, attached Mojo and opened band camp, still nothing. Worse yet, often it will freeze with Mojo connected and then restart itself or get stuck on the carrier boot screen during restart.
Seems that Android system is not allowing the device to connect properly although I can't be sure. I just want to be able to send all my audio to my exceptional Chord Mojo. Bummer because everything worked fine on S7 Edge running Android 7.0 when I selected MTP under developer options. Unless there's a fix I'll only be able to use Mojo with UAPP.
Im having very similar problem on S8, got an OPPO HA2 DAC, have bought a micro USB to USB C cable, and the phone is charging the DAC? It doesnt let me change the output as per your screen shot above.
Can anyone help?
I've ordered the meenova c to b otg cable, will report back.
i use andoird4viper with my DFR and it works. just had to lock the effect to headset and it should work system wide, as least for my case.
The meenova off cable made no difference with regard to getting Mojo to work with apps other than UAPP.

I'm not rooted and don't want to root.
Still no fix in sight but it is definitely a software issue and most likely with Android system processes.
Working on a project to turn my phone into a desktop without a need for too specialized adapters and without root. Using my LG G5 for testing this. Have a MHL USB Type C adapter that contains USB, HDMI, and Type C in (charging). The setup works well, and I'm able to hook in my keyboard, monitor, and mouse perfectly. Screen resolution is slightly cut off on the top and bottom edges. It seems to mirror the display of my device. Could imagine it troublesome for taller phones like the S8.
This can be fixed without root, as you can give Sentio Desktop permissions to edit the display settings.
HOWEVER, I don't see anyway to turn off the display when plugged into the adapter and keep running the same.
This is more of a long-term problem. Having the screen on for extended period of time will cause heat issues, not to mention wear on the screen.
Is there any kind of way to turn off the phone's display when hooked in, akin to closing the lid on a Mac when hooked to a monitor (without root preferably)?
Did you ever find out how to do this? Bugs me too!
Hi
I have Galaxy Ace 4 (kitkat 4.4) with broken lcd. The screen is blank but touch should work. Earlier something was visible on screen and as I remember touch was working.
Moreover, the system had some failure due to permanent "application xxx stopped working" and factory reset should be made.
I would like to use this phone as wifi hotspot. Is there any way to access the phone after factory reset? I have found application like Visor to control android via usb on pc. But developer mode has to be enabled and I'm not sure if system should be rooted.
Thank you for any help
If you can still see the screen, but the touch screen does not work:
Buy a cheap USB adapter so you can connect a PC keyboard or mouse (probably a USB C to USB A adapter). You can buy these adapters from China on eBay for $ 1 (but you may have to wait a month until they arrive in the mail. In this case, buy from a seller in your own country). I suppose you have a keyboard or just use the keyboard and use the arrows to move and select things, so I think the Windows button will become the home button. Press Enter to select and Escape to return. Or you can simply point and click with the mouse. The problem is that not all phones support "OTG", so you may not be able to read the adapter. If so, then I think you have no other choice. . But most of the stores themselves definitely support 100% OTG, so it should work normally. The problem with Bluetooth is that you need to pair it first, which requires touching the screen. Therefore, if you cannot touch the screen, using a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard may not work
If you can't see the screen, but the touch screen works normally:
Unless you change the screen, don't think that there are many things you can do. Android phones that were previously compatible with MHL allow you to use a dongle to connect it directly to HDMI. But the cell phone no longer has that function. If you have a Samsung phone, I think you can buy a Samsung Dex docking station, which will allow you to connect it to the screen via HDMI. If you can install applications on your phone, you may be able to control your phone from your computer using a screen mirroring application (there are thousands of different software that can do this, but you need to install applications on your phone). Same as Google Chromecast screen mirroring. .You need to access the application on your phone to perform this operation. Therefore, there is nothing you can do except replace the screen. If you are lucky and your smartphone supports some type of HDMI dongle adapter or some type of desktop docking station with HDMI output, you can view the phone's screen and access it.
So in the year of Christ 2022, is there still any sort of way to output video on a Pixel 2?
Story goes so that I have one with a completely busted screen, that does not register anything at all, let alone show anything. Glass broken, touch screen broked. I read there's some sort of a solution, but it requires an app to be downloaded which obviously is impossible in this case.
Is there any solution besides getting this piece of junk fixed?
I was able to use USB adapter to HDMI (not DisplayPort over USB-C alt mode, but older DisplayLink technology over USB 2, plus adapter to USB-C, normally used for adding extra monitors to laptops etc), but it required a DisplayLink app, not sure if it downloaded it automatically or not but I typically install apps from Google App Store remotely, on a PC browser (and select my phone as the target). A mouse should also work with Android but you'll need USB hub, or a bluetooth mouse, so yes in theory it will work but not for DRM content like Netflix, and not sure about booting up, perhaps you can blidnly use external keyboard for PIN or password.
Edit: USB docks for laptops, with HDMI and more USB ports, also use the DisplayLink technology and may be worth a shot
