So, there are many sink applications to stream screen over wifi to another android device, but all Ive tested are laggy. Is there an option to stream thru USB cable? Im just guessing it will give less of extremly low lag if it goes thru cable.
Im doing some recordings of myself with main camera of phone, but need to setup second screen to see myself.

Hey everyone-
Before you say this just let me say that I've already tried the IP webcam app that acts a wireless webcam from your phone to pc. The app worked and I was able to see the stream from my phone in my browser, but I couldn't get it to display the stream in skype (although it did detect the webcam, the screen was just black. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out a way to connect my Vibrant to my PC via the usb cable and use it as a WIRED webcam, so that it would be picked up as an external webcam by windows. The only reason I prefer to go wired is because of the fact that I'm trying to get rid of any frame lag between when I speak/move and when the computer shows it, which I assume would be eliminated by a wired connection. If anyone has any ideas, let me know, thanks.
-Much ablidged,
any help please?
It wasn't working for me either

Any help? Thnx again
I definitely would love to know the answer to this also, although I admit I did not search google for results. I just ran across your post and now I'm curious.

it may work as video out, but not strictly as hardware like a regular video cam. Meaning you will need the special cables and a capture card on the computer......
When you say it might work as video out, what do you mean exactly? I realize it may not pick it up as a usb webcam automatically, but is there any way to trick into thinking it is a wired webcam or something similar with a piece of software or something?
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?
The sound card on my laptop is ageing and was not very good to begin with but the one in my phone is great. Is there a USB (not wireless) solution for my PC to detect my phone as a sound card and have the DAC in my phone process the digital audio signal and for me to listen through my phone's headphone jack?
Basically is there a solution that allows me to use my phone as an external usb headphone DAC/amp?
I've done some googling but not found any viable solution yet.
The first one I found that works is WiFiAudio, which you can get to work over USB by enabling USB Networking.
You have to run software on the PC (I tested from Windows 10). Don't know if there's Mac software but I'll be wanting it as well.

it's called USB Tethering in android, which is located in Portable Hotspot section.
We'd like to elaborate here a little as it took us some time to figure out how exactly to use our android as a sound card for a PC.
There's another app out there - SoundWire, which we used and known for some time, we haven't tried WiFiAudio, but found it. Think it's pretty similar.
So what those apps do is they let you connect to your android via LAN (WiFi in most cases unless u got ethernet cable in your phone) and they let you transmit sound to your phone. It's pretty simple and straightforward. The drawback is audio delay, which increases with buffer size. But good video player like MPC let's us change audio delay so we can make it play faster than video to compensate for that, takes a little time to figure out the delay tho.
SO we wanted to try it over usb cable, maybe it'd reduce/eliminate the delay heh. (it doesn't) That's how we found this post and we got kinda stumbled on "enabling USB Networking". Tried to look it up, read wiki and all. Turns out it's called USB Tethering in android, which is located in Portable Hotspot section. After enabling that - it adds a network on the PC, provided it's connected via usb cable ofc. Turned off all networking on android (WiFi, mobile) And it works. Though had to type in IP manually.
So now it can be used as a usb sound card without WiFi or anything. Still has a delay tho.
upd: Using a usb cable allows to reduce buffer size to minimum without getting any stutter leading essentially to no noticeable delay. Which is great.
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...

So I broke my screen and I need to do a few things with the phone, like get things out of storage and maybe use a data transfer app to move everything over to another phone. Is that possible? If so, how would I do that? If I can just force it to display onto an HDMI output, that would be enough. I can unlock the phone just fine, but I can't see anything on the monitor and I think the top half is not responsive to touch.
Any help is appreciated.
You can just use a TYPE-C to HDMI Cable to display to an external monitor.
