Hi Team,
My samsung note 2 fell down and its lcd screen got broken and I can only see a black screen.
Phone is working, as I can access web.watsapp on my laptop.
now before sending for repair/ changing a phone, I want to take backup.
Please help me any way, in which I can take a backup of my phone.
- phone is locked
- its not rooted.
Thanks in Advance.

Well, you can buy a micro USB mhl to - HDMI or VGA cable/adapter, with this you can connect your screen to your TV through the wire. Just Google about the cable to get more info, it wouldn't cost much

I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website yesterday, so I should get it today (yeah, I paid the extra $6 for overnight shipping).
Does this phone support FULL mirroring (i.e., when plugged in to TV, TV screen mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen)? I used the full HDMI app on my Evo 4G, and it was great for watching shows from HBO GO on my TV.
Has anyone tried it yet? If not, is there a review out there somewhere that specifically demonstrates this feature?
I guess I'll know tonight when I get home from work!
Thanks,
Rob
I haven't seen it specifically on this phone, but I've seen the Qualcomm MSM8660 demos showing full mirroring. We should be capable of it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm surprised nobody's tried it yet!
Can you use the normal micro HDMI or do you have to buy the adapter to use HDMI? Lol kinda confused how this works with the new port? Could anyone explain? Thanks
You need to buy an adaptor. Basically, it's a dongle that plugs into the USB (charger) on the E3D. The dongle/adaptor has a HDMI port on it, along with a USB port. You plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port, and into the TV. You plug a charger into the USB port and into the wall.
So no, the HDMI cable from the EVO 4G (I have one too) won't work.
Does that help?

Back to the issue at hand... does it do HDMI mirroring or not? I have this bad ass HDMI integration in my Prius that is preventing me from upgrading from the 4G until at least HDMI mirroring is confirmed.

According to this demo from CTIA it appears it can, but this is unfinished testing hardware/firmware so it's still not a confirmation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
This doesn't exactly give you an answer with the level of certainty you are looking for but it's a good sign. We should see some end users with feedback on HDMI features on the production phone streaming in any time now that hopefully confirms that it can do this across any application without problems or limitations.

hey rtmeikle . I also got the mhl from tmobile. I hooked it up last night to sadly find out that hdmi mirroring is not supported at all. It was all a big hype it appears. Were you able to get it working? I'm hoping that you were so maybe its just my device....if not, then this phone is going back.
Yep, I got mine yesterday and tested it. It works fine.
You have to have the adaptor plugged in to the phone, a charger plugged to the adaptor, and the HDMI cable running from the phone to the TV.
I got full HDMI mirroring which automatically switched to landscape when I tested Netflix and HBO Go.
Rob
interesting. thanks for the quick respond. When i connect it to my hd tv all i get on the phone is a message that says *HDMI play a video or slideshow to display via hdmi* on the notifications bar. When I click that, nothing happens...

Strange. The image of my home screen just popped up on my TV; I didn't have to do anything.
I tested it on the TV in my bedroom, a 3-yr-old Samsung 42" Plasma, nothing fancy.
Maybe tonight I'll test it on my other two TVs and see if it works on all of them.
did you allow the latest OTA upgrade or did you cancel it? I allowed it as soon as I turned the phone on. I also tried it on my 58 samsung plasma hdtv. Its not that old but also not that new.
I'm going to try it tonight on my smaller 32 inch lcd hd tv to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't though.
Not like it matters since all MHL cables are the same but here is the MHL adapter I'm using: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4ec1-a08e-e133fa772d53&inCart=True&catCode=23

Yep, I've accepted the OTAs. And I'm using the exact same adaptor. Did you plug power into the adaptor too? I didnt' try without plugging it in, but I've heard that it needs to be plugged in to work.
Ok, i finaly got it to work. It wasn't a problem with the phone but a problem with the tv. I had to change some resolution settings on the tv and presto! Hdmi mirroring on its full glory
Now, do you know if I can pair up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Thats next for me.
Thanks for all the help.

This is what I am currently doing. I have hooked up the following.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard
The keyboard works great. I can type in the applications and setup my keys in the emulators just fine (snesoid etc)
Mouse functionality though is different then you may expect. You don't get a mouse cursor, it just "highlights" selections then you "left click" to go forward. According to my research the right mouse button is supposed to "go back" but is not working for me.
I put up a thread asking others for help with it, so if I find an answer I will let you know.
Updating you on what I found out about the mouse.
"Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access "
wait so how do you charge your phone if you use that hdmi adapter? anyone have a link?

the adapter has a USB plug that you use to hook up to a charger, and will charge your phone. Newer TVs are coming that will support charging over HDMI via the MHL adapter, there may be some out but I think will be a standard in 2012 TVs.

Hello,
My Atrix 4G has has no touchscreen. I don't feel like buying a new digitizer and replacing it. I would like to use my Atrix as a media center only connected to my TV. Is it possible for me to set it up to run without a digitizer/touchscreen and only use with my TV and a wireless mouse/keyboard?
Thanks
Jon

Yes, it's possible. Just plug the cellphone and the keyboard / mouse to the dock (in case they work via USB dongle / not bluetooth) and it's set to work the way you want.

That's great to know. Is it possible to plug a usb mouse/keyboard directly into the body of the Atrix with a micro usb adapter and get around Android without a touchscreen?

Unfortunately, that's not possible. The usual microUSB / female USB cables, as used with a lot of other smartphones, doesn't work with the atrix, our phone needs an external power outlet to be able to work with USB devices. You can either use the multimedia Dock or a 'custom' cable, I saw some time ago in youtube a tutorial teaching how to make a custom one, or maybe you can find it in ebay (not sure, never looked for it, to be sincere).

the cable you are talking about is called udb otg ( on the go), switch the phone's usb port into host mode.. only drawback is that atrix can't supply power to the usb, you must use an external power source for the devicr attached

I managed to use my atrix with the lapdock for around a month while I sourced a new digitizer and it worked great. I would recommend that you find a work and play kit second hand as I often use the webtop for watching on-demand tv and someone is working on a full resolution xbmc port that would work great with the remote. You might also be able to use the usb host ports to mount a fat32 hd as a media drive. The atrix can work really well without its digitizer.

I too am interested in this as I have an Atrix 4G with a broken screen. I was thinking about buying a device like the Roku or the MK802. I guess I could just get the Motorola Entertainment Center from Amazon.
Is there a ROM that would be best for the purpose of using the Atrix as a TV only device.
I posted a tutorial in general for using hdmi and tablet mode with the backlight for the digitizer off. This might give you ideas for using the hdmi port with or without your favorite hdmi enabled Moto dock.

The mhl that came with my Samsung Infuse worked with CM rom, the micro USB to supply power to adaptor and HDMI had to be hooked up in a certain order for it to work. I don't remember which needs to be first. Also not certain it will work with a broken display, and I am wondering how you will get input to phone. Does the screen still register touches?

Hello,
I have an i9300 running a famous Custom OS : OmegaROM.
My digitizer/screen is broken : I can not see a thing on the screen.
I got myself this cable : http://www.morhipo.com/pl-8098-2-0-usb-to-hdmi-kablo-seti/17073032/detay which is supposed to be working on a S3 (written on the box).
However, I never did that before and I can not see anything on my computer screen with the HDMI on.
I hear the sound of the phone when i press the volume buttons, and thats all, so the phone is on...
How do I make this thing work?
Should this thing work in TRWP mode (think not) and how to make it work without access to the screen.
Is there a custom ROM that would have MHL running buy default?
Thanks for your tips

hey man sorry i can't really help but i have to ask you this: the mhl cable usually has a hdmi port which connects to a tv/monitor ( you can't connect it to a laptop with a hdmi port), and 2 microusb jacks: one that connects to your phone (the male one) and one that connects to the charger (female jack). Did you set those up correctly?
Also, have you ever had your microusb plug replaced on the motherboard? It is possible that sb replaced it with a 5-pin jack whereas the s3 has a 11-pin mirousb port.

Hi,
Cross posting from Repurposing old devices...
My Galaxy Tab S6 screen is completely shattered and dead. Replacement screens are hard to come by or in the region of $250 - $300 which is a bit pricy. Is there any way I could connect the tablet to an external display to repurpose it almost as an android all-in-one or am I stuck with a paper weight? Any help appreciated.
What sort of external screen? You could obviously connect it to a TV or computer monitor simply with a USB-C to HDMI adaptor although the digitizer would need to be functional to register touch inputs.
Use a bt mouse
and run in DEX mode.
No luck
Thanks all, but no luck. Bought a USB-C to HDMI adapter and connected to monitor. Tried reset (Power + Vol down). No output to screen.

How badly damaged is the screen, can you tell the tablet is actually functional? Because there's no reason I know of why it wouldn't work - My Tab S6 works fine on my UHDTV via USB-C to HDMI and the adaptor is nothing special, it only cost me circa £5. Might be worth trying a different adaptor if you're sure the Tablet is functional.
The one I bought was the silver one from this eBay listing...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Type-C-t...&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&redirect=mobile
Tried a USB-C to HDMI + a Dell USB-C docking station. No display with either option. Left the tablet to charge overnight and get the vibration and charge sound when I plug it in. Other then this, no way to know if it is working. Screen completely shattered and dead.

Yeah, if you're getting the charging sound then it's safe to assume it's booting. Might be worth trying the adaptor I posted? The cost is very little and I've used it so it's definitely compatible.
