Smartphone Display & Touchscreen broke. Any way to mirror and control phone via PC? - General Questions and Answers

Smartphone Display & Touchscreen broke. Any way to mirror and control phone via PC?
Yesterday the Touchscreen and LCD-Display of my Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920F) broke, it is still working, but I can't see nor control anything.
Before I replace my smartphone I wanted to save my contacts and see my missed calls and messages.
Is there a possibility to mirror the screen of my smartphone on my PC and control it? I don't know if USB-Debugging is enabled.
I've heard about some apps that can do that, but since i can't use my phone to install an app like this, I can't do it that way.
Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920F) not rooted
OS: Android 7.0

[Completed] [Q] lg g2 quick remote for s4 without root

I had lg g2 and now i bought galaxy s4 and i want to transfer the quick remote that it was very useful for meto s4 without root because watch on needs wifi and I usually used it out of home and I cant find always wifi.If anyone knows the way ,please help me!
Hi,
If that was a proprietary LG app, it likely won't be possible....as apps like that rely on the manufacturer framework to function. Perhaps you can find an alternative on the play store.
Feel free to ask in your device section for ideas,

[Completed] Screen Mirroring that allows control over the host device

Hello everyone.
First of all, I would like to point out that this is my first time posting here, and I have searched the forums. Although this place is simply huge and very hard to understand at first, I tried searching, and read the 2 sticky posts in this section.
If I still made an error by opening this thread, I sincerely apologize and request you do not hold it against me.
With that said, I will ask my question.
I am trying to do something that I believe has yet to be done.
I would like to mirror my Galaxy S4's screen to a tablet, and to be able to control my Galaxy from the tablet.
Here's why.
My plan is to purchase a tablet and place it in my car. This tablet will be anchored to the car's systems (Power, OBD2 Adapter, etc.) and will be un-removable.
The point of this is to minimize handling the phone while driving, by using the tablet to control the phone.
Nowadays, I have a small cellphone mount that is okay, but it requires placing the phone in it, and taking it out when I leave the car, and I would like something permanent.
I want to get into my car, plug the phone to its charger (or not if I don't need to charge it), and forget about it. Once the phone mirrors its screen to the tablet, I would like to be able to control my phone (answering calls, navigating, etc.) without actually using my phone.
So far, after many, many, MANY searches over the web, I have found apps that allow mirroring but without the control i'm looking for.
I tried thinking about other options, such as Chromecast connected to a small LCD screen, but that still doesn't give me the control I am looking for.
I even thought about trying to learn how to create Android apps by myself in order to make an app for this, but i'm just not good at learning, and have no idea on how hard is it to create an app anyway.
So, what i'm searching for is knowing how can I do this, if this is possible at all.
Will it require an android tablet? if so, which version of android is the minimum required? will it require any customization? maybe just an LCD screen with some adapter connected to it?
I am fresh out of ideas but I really don't want to give up.
Please help me!
I hope I explained myself properly, and if I did not, I sincerely apologize.
Best regards,
DC.

Interesting and tricky "project".
You may read and/or ask in the Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 > Galaxy S 4 General > Screen Mirroring on Galaxy S4 [+Games] thread.
Not exactly what you need, but the users there seem to have innovative ideas, and may help.
Alternatively you can ask in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. thread.
Thread closed ... thank you !

Samsung apps and LineageOS on Note 5?

Hello guys,
My question is simple, does Samsung apps. such as Samsung health, SNotes, and other apps work on LineageOS? , Specially the SNotes, and does the pen pressure work like in TouchWiz?
At least shealth works if installed in parallel with the shealth service app. and some other app should also work but not all and even if work then buggy or half functionality, in my experience. Also i read that samsung apps work on the special samsung framework so it is complicated...
Waiting for big bros for mor detailed answers

ZTE Nubia z17 Lite Service Codes

I have very little idea what I'm talking about (I've just started teaching myself C# so I'm not a dev). I just got this phone yesterday and am trying to follow a guide on here to add GSM and LTE bands because it doesn't work well in the states. Anyway, there's a step that calls for accessing the USB settings menu with a service/dialer code and I have no idea what that code is. I've tried things that have worked on other phones but they aren't working for this one. Would anyone happen to know what the code is to access this menu? Or have a way to find the code? I've already rooted my phone, so if there's a place where that information is stored, I may be able to find it.

I don't have this device and i don't believe that anyone had posted this specifically for your device.
I did locate the following link that, apparently, has this for your device.
http://mobilespecs.net/phone/codes/Nubia/nubia_Z17_lite.html
I can't personally endorse the accuracy of what's there but, that's the best I can locate.
Good Luck!

I saw that as well. I'm not sure if any of these codes actually work. It seems like my phone recognizes them, but no action is performed when I try to use them. And the one thing that I can't seem to find access to is the USB Settings Menu that's apparently necessary for this process.
