Hello Folks!
I am trying to connect my Essential Phone to my monitor using an HDMI hub but it doesn't show me a full image. This started happening when I disconnected my broken display module, because it was constantly ghost typing and I couldn't get anything done. My mouse is connected to the hub, and I'm able to see the cursor on the screen, and able to swipe down etc. But since the display is so limited, can't really do much else. Please kindly help! Many thanks in advance.

I frequently use the hdmi adapter cable to plug my s3 in to an external screen for videos and msg throughout the day.
my question is: is there an app that turns the screen into a laptop style touch/gesture pad? i use a bluetooth keyboard with it all the time, and if i could just use the screen as a touchpad, it'd save me from needing to purchase a bluetooth mouse.
i have searched google and this site, but i believe i may be using the incorrect search terms. i cannot be the first person to think of this! thanks in advance!

For videos and messaging, I just skip the screen mirroring and use Airdroid. It puts all the info in a desktop view and eliminates the need to even have the phone nearby.

Daemon, I appreciate your input, but that's not what I want. I do not have or want the screen that I connect the s3 to connected to another computer. I simply wish to use the touchscreen on the s3 as if it were a laptop style touchpad for itself, so I do not need a bluetooth mouse.
On a similar note, I am looking for an app, that would allow me to change the resolution of the operating system, or at least certain apps (like browser, etc) so that when I have the s3 plugged into the screen, it looks more like a computer's view- not like just mirroring the phone view onto a bigger screen.
Thanks in advance!
So my new S7 's screen is completely dead. I can see the soft buttons light up and I've been trying to swipe but I can't. I was going to try to screen mirror to my Fire TV (by looking at a vid and hopefully hitting the right places to get it to connect) but the screen isn't passing any input.
So my next thought was to get a USB OTG cable and a mouse, although I have no idea how fast the pointer will move making guess the steps to connect really hard. I was also looking at chrome extension Vysor, but again, it need debugging enabled (which isn't) on the phone for it to work. Apparently sammy discontinued MHL support so there's no way to just plug in to in a TV with a cable,
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can force access on the phone to get a backup? Again, I need something that will let me see the screen, preferably in as little steps as possible (the more menus I have to navigate, the less likely I'll be able to blindly fumble my way through)
Thanks!
Anyone?````
same situation here, not much resources out there. Is your phone still connected to your wifi? mine is not so I can't get google play to install apps to it.
If you can though...
Samsung SideSync was recommended on another forum, similar to vysor but might work wirelessly for you
Good luck, and please let me know if you find a solution. I might by vysor to try wireless (they haven't answered me whether or not wireless version by passes the need for usb debugging)

If it's turning on (except by the screen) you can use Smart Switch or Kies to recover your data.

OR You can use FIND MY MOBILE if you registered a Samsung account to unlock remotely and use USB.

Hey guys and gals, so my brother has broken his S7, the LCD and touch are gone, the phone still turns on and it can connect through usb no problem for backing up music and photos, but he needs his contacts, sms and call logs, something usually done with superbackup or similar apps, but obviously they aren't available,
I've tried the official Samsung apps like smart-switch, but they require me to click yes to a pop up on the screen which I obviously cant do, my idea was to use a USB OTG cable with a usb hub, plug in a mouse and use a home made USB A to USB A cable to connect it to the pc at the same time and click randomly to hopefully hit yes, but frankly that sounds so stupid and doesn't seem likely to work (but I will try it if I have no other option)
my next idea was to use one of the many data recovery apps, however despite what almost every page states, none of them support the S7, just the S6 and lower and a few of the tab and note devices, so at this point im out of ideas, the phone doesnt have Root or usb debugging enabled so no hopes of ADB or anything,
any ideas here?
Thanks guys!
Use SydeSync or app like visor (Chrome add-on) to cast your phone screen to PC.
If you needed to install these apps to your mobile phone, you can install them via google play store on PC.
When you connect your mobile phone to internet, it will automatically be installed to your mobile phone.
Then you can cast your screen to your PC.
Sorry, I did not read the last sentence you wrote "No USB Debugging enabled".
Sorry...
Seen this asked quite a few times, doesn't seem like many solutions, basically if it's deadly important, fix the screen
Contacts should be on contacts.google.com
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
I have a Oneplus 5 phone with a broken screen from about 4 years ago, the screen is entirely black and does not show anything, touch also does not work.
I want to mirror the device's screen to a monitor so I can set it up as an IP camera to record my cat giving birth.
I'm pretty sure I have usb debugging enabled since I last used it, so far I have tried:
1. connecting to a usb-c dock with HDMI to a monitor, but apparently Oneplus 5 does not support MHL.
2. tried using Vysor and Scrcpy, both work on my Galaxy Note 9 (main phone) but I have to unlock the phone and allow permissions to use ADB, since I don't have a working screen or touch on my Oneplus 5 this didn't go so well.
additional info that might be helpful:
I tried connecting the phone to a keyboard and entering the PIN (I'm pretty sure I remember it correctly) but I can't tell if it does anything.
the phone is functional, in fact, a tiny corner of the screen (bottom right) responds to touch and I can draw V gesture to turn on flash.
Vysor recognizes the phone, but upon clicking "view" it says: "The connected Android device requires pairing confirmation. click the "allow USB debugging" prompt on your android". but again, I don't have a working screen, and I cant have a keyboard connected to the phone and PC at the same time (unless there is a way I don't know of).
Is there any way I can get screen mirroring working on this device? it's been sitting in a drawer for 4 years waiting for this moment, I don't even care about recording my cat giving birth anymore... I just want this to work!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
