Hi Everyone!
I am currently planning on how i could use the SGS2 as a car pc.
Right now i already have a car pc running on my car with touchscreen monitor and everything.
While using vnc to connect to my cel and display it's video signal and touch controls works,it's very slow and unpractical in most cases.
I was wondering if i could find a way to connect the tv out directly to the monitor and have touchscreen through the USB host functionality (my lcd monitor has usb for touch with general drivers)
Does anybody know if this could work or not?
My idea is to get a MHL To VGA adapter (already found) which also has a usb port where i can insert the USB of the touchscreen and it should react as a usb mouse.
I'm not entirely sure if it will need drivers or not though.
Any idea? Thanks!
Nevermind.

Dear members,
I've just bought a MHL cable and a bt mouse. The idea was to use these two products to make my SGS II a sort of a mediaplayer.
The MHL cable is an official one from Samsung but it won't show any image on my tv. The right way to connect the phone to the tv is to use an hdmi cable and a power cable. I did that so that can't be the problem. The only thing i could think of is that my software doesn't support MHL. I'm running I9100XXLPQ Android 4.0.3 2012 March. This firmware isn't an official one in my country and it keeps showing me an icon of a software-update in my notification bar. Maybe this is the reason i can't get MHL working??? I might have to switch back to 2.3.6.??
secondly i bought a mouse (MS-Tech SM-310). The SGSII reconizes the mouse. The only thing is, only the left click and scrolling works (and off course the moving). I'd like to have the right mouse click to be the back button and if i click on the scroller it opens the settings. Is there a way to change this? Or is this different with every other mouse? If so, wich mouse does work properly?
Sorry for the bad english.
Mouse doesn't work for me on XXLPQ
Click the software notification and accept it and sign in using samsung account

Not at all or just the same functions as i told about? cuz it works, but only the left-click, scrolling and offcourse moving the cursor.
And what about MHL?
Hi all,
I've got a broken screen so it doesn't even turn on anymore. I've reflashed a stock ROM, got it to boot up and I can plug in and see it via MHL. I want to use it to play videos etc through my TV as there's no other use for it. I've already got a replacement S3 to use as my main phone. Problem is the touch screen doesn't work for me to get through the setup and install the required apps. I could probably use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse or even physical using otg but I don't think that is possible using MHL. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott
mmm you could borrow for a BT mouse/keyboard and install TeamViewer QuickSupport, after that you should install TeamViewer 7.0 on your PC and since then you will be able to control your phone using the PC so you will not need the BT mouse/keyboard and you will be able to install whatever you want.
What do you think?

Yeah something like that was what I was thinking but as the screen doesn't work and it's on the Android setup screen when it's first turned on, I don't know how to pair a BT keyboard and mouse / install TeamViewer. My only thought would be a custom ROM with TV installed and configured and flashing it via ODIN .. but I don't know enough to create my own custom ROM
Thanks! :good:
Maybe I'm wrong but, when you plug the MHL adapter, it automatically mirrors the screen to the HDTV, doesn't it? I don't have it yet but I think it does, perhaps other could shed light on this issue

Yeah I've got an MHL adapter and it just mirrors the image so that's fine. I hoped the touch screen would still work even if it doesn't display anything but unfortunately it doesn't so I've got no way of controlling the phone, despite being able to see the display on my TV screen :crying:
You could set up everything you want on your working S3. Make a nandroid backup. Then flash that to your non-working phone.

I've got an option in my tv set that allows me to control the phone with the remote controller.
Check your tv.
i found it out accidentally in mine.
This option is called "fun link" in my tv set.

Before anyone answer without reading, Im looking for an app that can remote control my phone from my pc without streaming the screen.
I have an Xperia that connects to my TV via HDMI & I don't have any wireless mouse/keyboard. So I need a way to control it from my PC with a decent speed. I just need basic nagivation buttons, home/menu/back or mouse support if possible...
Anyone can suggest me some apps?
Nvm... After a full day googling, I just found a perfect solution
All hail ShareKM xD

Is it possible in anyway to connect android phone to an external touchscreen
And using the external screens touch capabilities / creating a realy huge "tablet"
i found out that for example my htc one x(m8) supports mhl so i def could
mirror the display with a mini usb to hdmi adapter.
but i dont think the touch signal will be send thru same cabel / protocol.
has anyone directions or ideas ?
Did you ever get anywhere with your project?
I too are looking to do this.
