Hello, I am a new user of this forum and wanted to find out is there an application for downloading on a computer that allows you to use it from the phone on the computer display? I'm asking because the touch screen it does not work on the phone and I have to enter an important application and make a copy backup and I wanted to do it on my computer.
if only touch doesnt work, use your usb C to usb adapter (came with the phone) or if you lost that buy a usb c to usb otg- adapter.
connect a computer mouse to your phone, don you use the mouse to click.
not sure if this works if you cant use touch on your phone:

last way would be using adb (please dig deeper in that topic by yourself).

My touchscreen just crapped out on me a couple weeks back. I've bought a new phone and was able to retrieve all my documents/pictures from my One XL as it functions perfectly in all other aspects other than the touchscreen.
I was hoping to turn this into just a not so portable PMP having it permanently sit in the dock so I can watch movies and youtube while on my PC and control the phone via the usb port with my mouse. I tried my OTG cable with a usb mouse but that doesn't seem to work.
I also tried android screencast which while it mirrors the device's screen onto the PC doesn't actually grant any control over the device.
I was wondering if you guys knew of a way I can bypass my lockscreen via using the ADB as that's the first hurdle I need to get through.
Hi I made this thread to find out how I can get USB OTG to work. I have cm 11 s3 mini and want to control my phone by a remote and plug ? flash drives in but have no idea how this works. Also if you could provide a link for a USB OTG cable it would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Hi
Its just plug and play. You plug in the USB OTG cable to the phone's micro USB port and on the other end its a female USB port (the same like in your laptop or pc). So you just put in a pen drive and it will get detected on its own. You can open a file manager app and access it, or you can access it directly from any of your other apps (for example if you use MX player for seeing videos then the pen drive videos will automatically load up in the app as well).
To control your phone remotely I am guessing you mean keyboard/mouse?
If you plug in a mouse, a cursor shows up the next second and you have a working mouse. Same with a keyboard, works on its own. If you want to use both together, you need a wireless keyboard and mouse so that you can plug in the dongle to the otg cable, and then both the keyboard and mouse will instantly start working.
If you have a PS3 controller you can even connect that to your phone and use it to play many games - but this does not work via plug and play, you need to follow instructions to set this up and you can search on xda or google for that.
If you search USB OTG on amazon or ebay you will find loads of places to buy it from in your country.

Hello guys i just got new pc case so i installed the hardware and i put my usb cable to usb 3.0 front and my phone it started normally so i copied some photos and i safely remove it.. Then after some minutes i used again the usb but the phone was only charging i couldnt find my sdcard-phone on device manager. So i changed usb port back panel (2.0) and it worked properly :/ any solution? i cant pull always my heavy pc so i can use my phone on the pc! Excuse me for my bad english!
Hi,
You can try different USB ports, different cable or a different pc. If it's just that pc, There's obviously an incompatibility. Perhaps your phone doesn't support USB 3.0?
You can ask about it in the thread from your device section,

Good luck!
I have a Nexus 5 and i'm willing to connect via Teamviewer to a PC.
From where I am connecting I can use a screen and WiFi, USB keyboard and mouse and Aukey 7-Port USB 3.0 (powered usb hub found here)
What is the best way to setup this for a confortable environment?
I have to stay few hours using the phones teamviewer and do stuff in the remote PC.
Few ideas I have:
- Using Samsung EDD-S20E (samsung dock with HDMI output, but might not work due to incompatibility) or similar dock
- Chromecast 2 (miracast or any other)
- DeLock 65468, slimport micro usb to HDMI.
The problem is that I need phone to be charging during teamviewer since it drains a lot of battery, and also few usb ports for keyboard + mouse + storage, I've been thinking of the next:
-usb hub + OTG in the phone.
-chromecast 2
-wireless charging the phone while use, since I cant charge it while OTG I think.
Is there a better alternative to this?
I'm not sure I even understand your question. You install Teamviewer on your PC. You install it on your phone. You have a unique id to identify the Teamviewer PC session. You can set a password on the PC Teamviewer session so that you don't need to see the temporary password on the PC screen - so you have true remote access. You start Teamviewer on the phone, put in the unique id and password and connect.
What's all the stuff about Samsung docks, HDMI, Chromecast...? It sounds as if you'd find it simpler just to buy a second laptop.

Oh maybe i wasnt clear enough, its not about the Teamviewer itself.
Its more about:
What would you do if you had to stay connected to your pc from another place a few hours a day? using your phone of course...
Thats why I asked for a "confortable setup", so I could achieve this.
Well, in that position I wouldn't use my phone - I'd get a cheap second-hand laptop. The things you mention may be possible, but look like a great deal of unnecessary hassle.
As your question has nothing to do with the google Nexus 5, you would be best served by asking here TeamViewer Forum

Hi,
I hope this is not a cross-post; I've read a few other guides and suggestions on this forum already but my problem seems to be the opposite of what many people have.
I've got an Xperia Z5 Compact (not rooted) with a chipped screen. Touch does not work at all, but the display works fine.
I plugged in a mouse via OTG adapter and enabled USB debugging, then plugged it into my PC to attempt connecting with ADB. However, once I plug in a new device the phone wants me to confirm to "allow" the connection coming from my PC. But since my mouse is no longer plugged in, I can't accept the popup.
I tried to connect with AirDroid as well to try to accept the popup via screen share, but in order to allow WiFi screen sharing, it needs root (or an adb connection).....which makes the problem kind of circular.
Any suggestions or tips (or resources I might have overlooked?)
Thanks,
Rafael
