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.

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.
I got a s3 with a broken screen completely shattered, no light, no touch response etc. but the sounds and notification lights work, i can connect with usb as a media device i can access internal sd...
my question is is there any way i can mirror the screen to my computer via usb without doing anything on the phone because as i said the screen completely gone, maybe with adb or something?? i'm interested in how i can control the phone through the pc, like how asus pc link does it, if anyone can give me any pointers on further reading it would be much appreciated... i don't even know if samsung has such a function..
also i would like it if whenever i connect the usb the phone screen would pop up on the pc, are there any tools that do this?
ps: i heard about hdmi adapter but it doesnt let you control or click on the screen right?
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, 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.
Hello everyone
So last week the kids shattered my screen. Part of it still worked right after but now i got no display at all. I connected to an external display via a docking station and a simple usb-c to HDMI adapter. I get the screen to come up but its simply a gray screen with a lock on it and the time. Does anyone know how to get to the unlock screen so i can try and pull all my data off the tablet
If it's the data you want, why don't you connect it with usb in a pc. It will see it (probably if you had connect it at past. Otherwise it may need to preen in screen to give access, which you probably can't do..), as a hard disk and copy whatever can be copied.
If you can install a usb mouse when you connect it with a hdmi you could press the screen with the mouse also..
