iDisplay for Android review: turn your smartphone or tablet into a 2nd or 3rd desktop display
Sound nice thanks , but I don't want to use it by server or internet, i just want to plug the usb cable or pair with pc by bluetooth, and enjoy another screen control by the regular pc mouse and keyboard .

Go figure the USB cable was the important part of your equation
I honestly haven't the foggiest what you're trying to accomplish. But, you can always pair a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use with your Streak. I will often use 2x Client to connect a terminal services session this way. The USB host mode in Streak Droid lets you use the pdmi connector to mount an external USB hard drive or USB peripheral. However, in direct answer to your inquiry, no. There is no such thing as video out from PC over USB to pdmi on Streak.
...Hell, people have a hard enough time using the HDMI out on the Streak and that is a supported feature!
Maybe i need vga to usb cable. I just want to use the dell screen as a monitor to pc. Not the opposite. Could be or not? Anyboddy else have idea

That's because it is crap! j/k It works about as good as VNC and the driver crashes my Win7 laptop after every time I use it. A quick uninstall / reboot/ reinstall / reboot "works". I use AirDisplay with my iPad and Win7 laptop and it works about the same. As for the best way to use a PC from your Streak, I recommend 2xClient (to connect RDP with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse!)
So i downloaded DJ Control ,its great and very good i use it over WI-FI but i was thinking, is there a way to use it over usb , because in school we have music on breaks and i would like to connect my phone to that pc and use app with it but WI-FI is locked,so i want over usb
Someone can help me connect it over usb?
anyone?
Hi, I'm looking for some software which i can connect from my computer to android device only locally without external connection to internet. Using this software, i want to see display of my android device and control and configure remotely.
Old thread, but MyPhoneExplorer can control Android devices from USB cable when ADB is enabled. With VMLite VNC Server you can remote control rooted devices from local WLAN, i prefer RealVNC Viewer to control app on Windows computers.
i recently discovered scrcpy which imo is an excellent, and superior, alternative to vysor, teamviewer and the like (for my needs, i.e. simple remote control of android).
here's the thing tho, it works beautifully when i connect my pc and android directly using a usb type-c (android) to usb type-a (pc) cable, but it won't work when i connect an otg usb hub to the android and, from there, use a usb type-a cable to connect to my pc.
is this a well known limitation of otg hubs? or should this work? the usb type-a cable i'm using between the otg hub and pc is 2.0, do i need 3.0? or is there a special type-a otg cable i'm unfamiliar with?
i see that these is a way to use scrcpy via wifi using adb tcpip command, but i can't get it to work, and the github scrcpy thread doesn't seem to be very active.... perhaps there's a way to get it to work over ethernet as opposed to wifi? anyway, any help re the otg hub question would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT - problem solved: adb over ethernet instead of usb or wifi.
connected my android (galaxy view) to my network (ethernet) using the otg usb port and now, combined with the "adb over ethernet" app from the play store that i just discovered, the adb connection between my android and pc functions just as if they were connected by a usb cable, no more having to first connect the usb to get wifi to kick in, only to have to repeat this process again and again.
fwiw i finally got the samsung sidesync to work by installing the apk, which i thought would be a satisfactory alternative to scrcpy, and it was ok, but it's very intrusive on the pc side and the mirrored android display isn't that great, distorted, plus it has a chunky blue frame... but now i can use scrcpy, it's so lightweight, and the mirrored display is excellent, both snappy and scalable.
Can i use a type-c (android)to type-c (laptop) to use scrcpy

For others who find this in a search, you can get scrcpy to open up (and then kill the console to get it out of the way) on Android up to Android 11 using the "--tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555" option, but there's new capabilities in Android 12 now that eliminate totally the need for the initial USB connection.
In Android 12 you can also use scrcpy completely over Wi-Fi without first establishing the adb connection over USB like you need to do with Android 11.
There are new commands in the Android 12 Developer options to enable everything to be done over Wi-Fi which I've been using since May.
