Hi All,
What does everyone use to show their phone screen (and control) from their PC?
I would like to set this up for when i'm at work instead of looking down on my phone all day.
I tried a few apps, there was one that worked: "screen Recording and Mirror" but it was too expensive!
Any other options out there?
I want it to be on same network as I don't have an HDMI cable for MHL.
Thanks,

I had the same idea and tried vysor. I think I tried another app as well but over usb2.0 it wasn't pleasant. The amount of lag you get will drive you to just pick up your phone lol

Hello everyone-
I'm not sure how many of you have experienced this problem before, but whenever I use the TV-out feature on my vib to connect it to my standard-def tv via the 3.5 mm jack to av cable, I get a strange annoying electronic buzzing sound from my television. I've made sure the cable is plugged in all the way on both ends, and that the region is set to NTSC, but it just won't go away. It seems to stay no matter what rom I use, so I think it may be either a hardware problem with my phone or with the cable itself. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks.

Have you tried a kernel with voodoo sound, and adjusted the settings with supercurio's app?
Have you tried another cable?

I haven't tried another cable, but I a running bionix-v 1.3.1 with the sound app, but I'm not sure what the optimal settings are for TV-out specifically, or what specific options I should adjust within the app? Thanks.
Can anyone else offer me any advice? I'm eager to solve this issue, thanks.
have you tried on a different TV?
Yep, I still get the same problem, and I've never had this problem when I connect any other device to my TV.
Try a different cable. With the first cable I used I didn't get any video signal and loud static. With the second one it was absolutely perfect.

I don't see what edge would have to do with a the tv-out function on my vib. But no, I'm using wifi, and I have all data functions turned off (i.e. I don't have a data plan anyway.
I just switched from a Fascinate. I really hated that thing, but I was calm enough to not slam it against a wall.
I have a few questions on the TB. Searching revealed some scattered comments on these, but I found no clear answers.
1. I have this guy all set up. I used to use Titanium backup. OOPS, it looks like, in order to root for Titanium Backup, I will lose everything. Is that the only option for rooting, and if so is there any backup that can save me from the couple of hours of reinstalling/reconfiguring the load of stuff I have?
2. The USB refuses to work properly on my PC. I installed it on a work PC, and all is well. My home PC just refuses. It is like it has a poor USB connection, it comes and goes. I tried all four USB ports, and no luck. I suspect all of the ports are on an internal hub. Any suggestions for a more reliable connection? My USB ports work fine for other things.
3. I have a bluetooth stereo headset. My previous devices would allow me to pair the phone AND the stereo. So I could listen to music, or make/take a call. The TB looks like it is paired for both, but only the phone works. If I drop the phone pairing, then the stereo works. But I can't get both to pair as I always had before. Anyone else found this?
4. The auto backlight is poor. Too bright in the dark, not full bright in the sun. Manual brightness settings are adequate. I dislike manual, but I quess I must use it. Does anyone know of a better widget then the built in one? It just has three settings, and I don't care for those.
5. The video player isn't too good. It doesn't play many of the videos that I could play on my previous device. It also only appears to display thumbnails of the videos, no titles. It is pretty hard to tell the videos apart (or even play many of them). Is there a prefered video format for this device, and/or, does anyone have a prefered player?

I like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel&feature=search_result the most. Very simple and effective, not to mention free.
1. Nope. That's the only root method.
2. Maybe it's a bad USB cord? I know I have an extension for USB that isn't good for much more than power.
3. Never used a stereo bluetooth device so I'm going to pass on this one.
4. If you root there the notification power toggles includes brightness with a lot more options. You can also modify the settings for auto-brightness with some ROMs (CM)
5. Not sure on this one either. Most of my video watching on the device is streaming. I did try to put a video on and it wouldn't work but I'm not sure what format it was.

I tried all varieties of cords.
Don't anyone have a suggestion on the video format, or a better player?
It always has worked with any HTC, SONY or NOKIA phone, Sensation and Desire HD have a option of connect to PC, this phone doesn't seem to have one. I am not talking about using a HDTV CABLE ADAPTER to display the whole screen, however, (1) I am looking for my Samsung TV to read the SD card of my phone (2) and if possible would it read the Internal memory too.
'when i use my usb cable to connect to the samsung tv, it detects the phone and asks if i want to swap to media play. When i do this i offers me the choice of movies, photos, music and settings. I can not play any of these and the settings only shows the phones id, memory available etc. Is there something within the phones normal settings i should be checking?'

Once again, I have purchased a HDTV Adapter, however, I want my TV to read my SD/Internal memory like it does with other phones. Please let me know if there is anything I could do to fix this.
TV does not have a wifi connection or an Ethernet connection.*'Programs like Allshare would be of no help whatsoever'.
Thanks
Sounds like all you need to do is enable USB debugging.
did that, after clicking on mass storage TV doesnt read USB, but the PC does. Samsung TV will read any other phone but not this.
after calling Samsung, they said they phone doesn't have that option like other phones do, so, I asked whether the HD cable would display the original resolution of the media or would it display the resolution of the phone, they told me that the cable would only display the resolution of the phone, now, if the TV was able to read my phone it wouldn't have been an issue. Any solution?
is this the wrong place to ask?

If you've tried USB debugging, and tapping "Connect USB storage" when the phone prompts didn't work, I can't think of anything else you could try.
all i can do for you is confirm my samsung tv working and reading my s2's Internal and external sd card.

I must have tried that a million times but it just aint working, I am on a contract with Orange, I can change my phone to Sensation, Mozart and iPhone4s without a problem, now I am thinking about getting Sensation because I know that phone does work.

Hi, when you say it does read both internal and external memory, can you please explain how the TV does it, any comments will be appreciated.
seems like no one knows a damn thing

Well i connect my phone to the tv via USB and then i pull down the notification bar on my phone and click connect usb storage. Then in the corner of the tv it shows 'USB reading' then once thats done it asks to open (like auto play on pc).
Sent from my GT-I9100
For me on a Samsung TV LA32D400 this does not work. When connecting the S2 to the USB of the TV, then selecting USB on the TV, then pulling the notifications bar curtain and clicking on 'USB device connected' shows a green pupper which turns orange when I click it (USB debugging ON). So far so good works like on a PC.
Then for one second(!) I see Android USB on my TV and then it disappears and unmounts. An ordinary USB stick does work.
What is the problem here ?
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.

Hi,
I have a BQ Aquaris E6 with a broken screen (only a black screen is shown).
I need to access the device to save some data and, if possible, to control it from a pc in the future.
The mobile seems to react to the digitiser based on the sounds. It looks like that only the display is broken and I could still control the device.
The device still receive notifications from different apps.
WiFi is enabled and it automatically connects to my home WiFi network.
Unfortunately, no developer options were enabled, no USB debug enabled and impossible to use adb solution will work. (If someone told me how to remotely enabled...it would be amazing!)
The only solution I thought was to use the MHL connection to enable the USB debugging options by duplicating the screen and controlling it with a TV when I touch the display.
I bought a MHL-HDMI cable but TV does not react at all after connection. I thought immediate screen duplication would happen but it is not the case...
Could anyone give a feasible solution to access the device?
Thank you very much in advance.

According to the spec sheet, it does not appear to support any video out format. With out USB Debugging enabled, there's really nothing else that you could do beyond getting the LCD fixed.

First of all, thank you very much for your reply.
I had a look to the link and it is true there is no mention to any video output format. But I know it has MHL connection since other people were able to connect it through the MHL connection to a TV.
There are some websites where the MHL is also mentioned (no way to paste links because I am new...shame...)
Any idea about how could I enable the USB debugging with a working touchscreen but blinded?
Any way to send a piece of code to do it?
Looks like you are right about the MHL. I should have researched further. Not sure if there's a setting on the phone that you might need to do before it outputs the stream. Either way, I do not know of a solution that would work in this situation.
Other than getting a new screen connected to it...
