The ddms tool in the Android SDK will get screen captures over USB Debug of course.

Anything remotely?

I don't think it's possible without root because you need to take snapshots of your phone and taking snapshots needs root. (unless you use ddms)

Zeam launcher can take screenshots of your home screen (not tested by me). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
But I think you are talking about live watching your mobile screen on PC, aren't you?

Most of these live view server take pictures of your screen and send it over the internet. There is also the issue with port forwarding. The only service that has pulled off remote screen viewing server without port forwarding has been teamviewer.

Teamviewer exists for Android? I'm fine with the picture taking...

This is fairly new to the forum if you haven't seen it.. but it does require root.

Does not have to be over USB. ADB can connect via TCP.
Code:
- disconnect device from usb then tell it to listen on 4455
adb tcpip 4455
restarting in TCP mode port: 4455
- connect to the device using a specified ip:port. my device is using wifi
adb connect 192.168.1.103:4455
connected to 192.168.1.103:4455
- now do normal adb commands over tcp
adb shell
- when your done, you can put it back in USB mode
adb usb
restarting in USB mode
You can also set an environment variable called ADBHOST with the IP address and adb will attempt to connect to that ip.
Now I am not sure if DDMS can connect to the device over tcpip, but if adb can, and ddms uses adb to connect, it should be possible.

BUMP. Any success here?

Its been a while, was wondering if there have been any solutions to this.

Android ScreenControl without root
Have a look at this ... Its something I have been working on ...
http://piglings.blogspot.com/2011/08/android-screen-control-without-root.html
Hope that helps !
Cheers,
Vikram.

I found this and thought it will be helpful as I ended up on this thread during my search.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
Follow this link: it has everything.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
So far only PC is supported I think.
The app also gives you the ability to use your PC keyboard remotely over wifi, it also has shortcuts for home, menu, back, etc.
The one thing that you might need to figure out is the display option in the mobile app settings.
I chose to keep it #3 - others ... that's the only way I can see the screen on my razr maxx!!
Also, if you are having weird screen problems, the website has the FAQ section and other pages to tweak the settings so that it works fine!!
Now it is a bit slow ... but none the less very useful ... I use it to change music while my phone's connected to speakers and chatting with people on Viber/WeChat/WhatsApp ... comes in pretty handy!!
Hope this helps!! cheers!!

Use phone as wireless adapter?(NOT WIRELESS TETHERING)

I want to know if there is a way to use an android device as a wireless adapter? Not wireless tethering of your data connection but the ability to use the wifi connection on your pc.

Turn your data off and turn on your WiFi, connect to the desired network and try to tether via usb to your phone. This should hopefully bridge your connection if you have an aosp ROM. I'm not sure about sense, as I've never tried it on a sense ROM before.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

So you mean download the wirless tether app and use it while data is off? And you can do it via usb?/ I've never used data tethering so idk im a noob
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

He meant to say, connect to wifi and in settings there will be an option to tether via usb
Although i am also not sure about sense roms
Or you can use a market app
There are many, Easy Tether will do the job
Connect to the wifi network and then use usb tethering

okay well I have a droid 3 so there aren't any roms out for it and when I try a wifi tether app from the market it disables your wifi

Okay, so basically what you're going to be doing is using your phone as a USB WiFi dongle. To do this, follow these instructions VERY carefully.
1) Assuming that you are already rooted (via z4root, Gingerbreak, or some other means), search for "EasyTether Lite" on the Android Market and download it.
2) Go into Settings>Wireless & Networks
3) Uncheck the box that says "Mobile Network", "3G", "Mobile Data" or something along those lines.
4) Check the box that says "WiFi" and connect to the desired network.
5) Now, download and install the drivers you need for EasyTether to work with your computer here (note that you are going to do this from your computer and not your phone): http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/drivers.html
6) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable and open the EasyTether app. Enable tethering and with a little bit of magic and fairy dust, you should now have a connection on your computer.
Good luck mate.

Need for same
Need an expert here!
what we look for is using android phone to connect other devices not only to internet but also to each other .
We could do it with our modem,but with tethering is like a hotspot , every device can connect internet but cannot see other devices.
Everywhere i looked was explainin "how to tether" which is built in android 2.2 already.
Helps will be highly appreciated

Is it too simple?
I had trouble getting USB tethering on my macbook, not my PC, but:
I searched the market for USB tethering.
and with "Easy Tether lite" (the first app in the search results; there are other options, I tried this one first and it worked great).
I installed on my phone, ran it, followed the wizard, had to install USB tethering drivers for OS X at some point.
Now:
Phone getting WiFi from my router and entering my computer via usb.
I even set it up now to send this very post!!
cheers,

EDIT: (Hmm, your syntax is kind of shaky, original poster... You don't mean use the computer as a wireless adapter for your phone do you?? that would be internet pass-through, yes? I think you do mean USB tethering but using a WiFi source, not the mobile connection. Is this as simple as hooking up a usb data tether but using the WiFi instead of 3G from your phone, such as to use a dingy laptop without wireless to get the WiFi in a Starbucks/etc/etc? Hmm.
Otherwise, your phone is not a WiFi wireless adapter, it has one that your phone OS connects to, which then "usb tethers" to computer...
I've never even seen a usb cable that connects a mobile phone to a mobile phone. Haha. I suppose if you had one, you should be able to USB tether from one phone and Internet Pass-Through on the other.....:/ )

Check out this thing called Bluetooth for that. It works wonders.

solution without additional software while having cyanogenmod
This works with cyanogenmod10 out of the box. Probably also possible with cm7/cm9 too.
Connect phone via cable to pc, connect phone to wifi, enable "USB-Tethering" (Settings -> Tethering/Hotspot), let OS detect the new device, done.
I know this thread has no activity since over a year, but if anybody finds this page like me while searching for this topic, I could be helpful for him knowing a method without using additional software while having cyanogenmod.

yet another reason to consider CM flash

Just some questions...
OK GUYS. thnx for the usefull info.
Now i wanna say that suppose we have this wifi dongle for connecting to computer..(see photo attached) we use this for connecting WIFI to our PC's. RIGHT???
NOW i wanna ask if it is possible that we can use our phone instead of this ""DONGLE"" as wifi signal catcher. NEITHER USB NOR WIFI TETHERING(like easy tether lite or many other options available on XDA.) [people are actually asking for "THIS OPTION" so we don't have to spend another 20-30 bucks but they ends up with USB or WIFI tether)
we connect our phone to PC and Search for WIFI Signals on PC... NOT on the phone itself.
please guys, if any one know how to do this then please share. OR please tell if it is possible or not..
thnx...

sorry for bringin up a old thread
but man ure a life saver my dongle died on one of my pcs and i used the same method for my LG G4 works like a charm
thank you a million times man

I actually just tried the above program and it works. It has serious limitations if your not getting the paid version. Blocks a bunch of webs sites and all secure ones. It does work though. I really wish Verizon would not have found it necessary to remove wifi sharing over USB for some dam reason. The S7 I have, had it factory and they removed it. Not sure why? Seeing how it does not have a fuking thing to do with the mobile network. I can actual tether my computer by USB using mobile network and can't from my wifi. Can already bypass they're tethering fee.
I will continue reading and searching till I find a way to undo or work around big reds unnecessary removal of this feature. Even if it involves crawling a 1000 miles on my hands and knees, on broken glass to find some big wig and beating the reversal out of him with the very S7 I'm typing this on.

[Q] Can an Android phone run without a screen?

I wanted to strip a phone down to it's bare necessities so it would fit into a laptops spare hard drive slot to be used as an 3G modem (provider only allows phones to use unlimited plans).
If I remove the screen will it still function enough to be commanded via ADB?

The screen is just an output device, so you should still be able to give it commands remotely, similar to a rasberry pi, but how would you enable usb debugging and/or troubleshoot issues that may arise with the device?

I'd enable debugging beforehand, the idea was to just toggle tether via ADB, nothing major so the only issue I could think of would be heat, but shouldn't be an issue hopefully.

Possible.

What Is USB Debugging Mode On Android? [MakeUseOf Explains]
Written by Joel Lee
January 11, 2013

usb debuggingIf you use an Android phone and you’ve searched forums for solutions to problems, you’ve probably heard the term “USB Debugging” every once in a while. You may even have seen it while looking through your phone’s settings. It sounds like a high-tech option, but it really isn’t; it’s quite simple and useful.
One beauty of Android is that it has a lot of built-in features, many of which are advanced. If you want to supercharge your phone with mods and whatnot, you can; if you want to use it just as it was out of the box, you can ignore the advanced stuff. USB Debugging is a feature that all users can benefit from, though, so you should know what it does and when to use it.
What Is USB Debugging Mode?
USB Debugging Mode is a mode that can be enabled in Android after connecting the device directly to a computer with a USB cable. The primary function of this mode is to facilitate a connection between an Android device and a computer with Android SDK (software development kit). As the name might suggest, Android SDK is a software suite that’s designed to aid in the development of Android apps.
Ever wondered how a programmer creates apps on the Android? They definitely don’t code them straight on the phone device! That would be nightmarish at best. Instead, they utilize the environment of the Android SDK to code apps on a computer, use USB Debugging Mode to transfer those apps to a device for testing.
usb debugging
But, again, here’s the takeaway: USB Debugging Mode establishes a direct connection between an Android device and a computer and readies it for deeper-level actions. That’s the important part.
In some versions of Android, the USB Debugging Mode feature may be called Developer Mode. With such a name, it can be easy (and reasonable) to think that you’ll never need to deal with this aspect of Android if you never plan on developing anything. That’s not exactly true.
Why Is USB Debugging Mode Important?
USB Debugging grants you a level of access to your device. This level of access is important when you need system-level clearance, such as when coding a new app. However, there are a few non-development-related benefits from this new level of access that can give you much more freedom of control over your device.
For example, with Android SDK, you gain direct access to your phone through your computer and that allows you to do things you normally couldn’t, like snag instant screenshots of your device or run terminal commands with ADB. These terminal commands can help you restore a bricked phone–a useful tool for any adventurous Android owner. Without it, you’d have to get a replacement phone.
android usb debugging
USB Debugging is also necessary if you ever want to root your Android device. Before an app like One-Click Root can dig into your system and deliver the exploit that roots the device, USB Debugging is necessary to allow that function in the first place.
Yes, the original intention for USB Debugging Mode was only meant for developers who needed to copy data between their computers and Android devices, to install apps on the phone without notifications, and to read log data off the phone. But even if you aren’t a developer, you’ll probably run into a few apps that require USB Debugging Mode to function properly, so this mode does affect you and you should know about it.

Start searching dialer codes for Samsung devices and do be careful on what you do in those service menus.
-sent from this device using this app.

Just tried that and cant get any codes to work in the dialer or in the apps.. and one says im missing su so i dont know im about to just flash back to the older firmware Security is nice and all but damn they killed it.

I found the problem it was samsung knox if you activate it or use my knox app it disables your dev settings so i ripped knox out of my phone now i have usb debugging..

Remote control my android phone over wired-LAN

Hi,
I am a member of a lab where I can't enter with my phone (galaxy s10) for RF interference reasons.
I'd like to be able to use my phone from inside the lab when it's outside and even use it's internet connection.
What I do have in the lab is an Ethernet connection, and I have an ethernet adapter for my phone. The phone isn't rooted, I can't root it and don't want to root it. There's no internet access on the existing ethernet to the lab.
This issue bothers also my lab partners and we can't connect this lab to internet permanently.
my questions:
1. I'd like to remote control my phone over a PC (windows or linux) in the lab - is it possible to do this over LAN? I want to be able to access my whatsapp and Gmail, to know when I have a call etc... (like mstsc in windows, but to control an android)
Airdroid remote control doesn't work because my phone isn't rooted and it can do this only by USB...
2. Assuming that I put an ethernet switch where my phone is left, and me and my friends connect our phones to the switch, Is it possible to use the android's built-in ethernet tethering for each of us and use somehow directly the internet connection of our phone?
if you ask why, it's because we want a stable connection and not to rely on one friend's tethering.
a 4G dongle isn't an option (anyway, it's a switch, and putting a router is forbidden).
I know that the requirements are a bit strange, but this is the case.
Thank you for the help!

If phone's Android is rooted, and if phone has an appropriate Ethernet driver installed, and if phone is OTG capable, and if on phone the Ethernet app is installed, then you should be able to tether phone via LAN with computer.

I think that it's also possible to work offline when connected to a LAN without interbet, but as far as I understand, it's only available in the full version of teamviewer for android.
