So I have an S3 with a broken screen (digitizer and display are both out) and I'm trying to control it so I can set it up as a media center. I got a samsung smart dock however it didn't work with CM11 so I flashed back to stock with odin. Now the display shows up but I cant get mouse input through the dock. Any ideas how I could control the phone? Thanks in advance.

Something went wrong with my screen on Note 2. I am still able to use touch controls on the screen like answering a call etc, but the screen is just black. Can I connect my note 2 via HDMI MHL and see the screen on TV? Or if the display is not coming on device it wont come on TV either?? Need urgent help. Much appreciated
Hey all,
I have the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and the official samsung keyboard/case that matches the tablet. I have an issue where every time I close the case/keyboard and close the latch, my tablet s display turns on. I normally leave my display timeout time at 5 minutes due to what i use my tablet for (reading articles), so I dont want to turn that on. Anyone have any ideas on any settings I can change to prevent the screen from turning on when I close the tablet/keyboard case? I bought everything from Samsung to prevent this issue with any third party keyboards, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi all.
My wife's s4 mini started to play up, 1/4 of the touch screen from the bottom has stopped working. this means she cannot assess app tray, call log etc.
the screen itself looks fine and all other parts are responsive to touch.
I manage to reset the phone by turning it sideways to assess all the keys but this has not solved the issues.
Do I need a new screen or can this be repaired?
thanks
The screen on my fiance's Note 3 is shattered. It has Hyperdrive ROM on it. I thought I could just hook up my mhl adapter and see the screen but no matter what screen mirroring solution I use all it displays is a black screen with a faint Hyperdrive ROM logo in the center. The touch screen is still working and I can turn things on and off sometimes. So it seems that maybe the screen has to work for screen mirroring to work. I've tried an MHL adapter, the Samsung WiFi HDMI adapter and using the adb shell to take screenshots. All with the same result. Anyone know if any screen mirroring methods function with a broken screen and how to do it?
Moved to Q&A. And several tools should allow mirroring IF debugging was enabled. (Don't recall what the solution, if any, was without that.)
Hi,
I recently inherited a 21" Acer touchscreen LCD and thought I would look into whether it could act as a touchscreen-capable projection screen for my Pixel XL. After reading around a bit (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294268) I figured it just might be possible to get it working by casting my screen to the display via Chromecast and simply connecting via USB between the phone and display.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works. Sort of. The only problem is that the orientation of the external touchscreen points is off, no matter what orientation I put the phone in. It seems as though what might get it working is either an option on the Acer display to rotate into portrait mode or an option within the phone/Chromecast to force a fullscreen portrait mode. Neither of these things seems to exist.
Does anyone have experience working with an external touchscreen set up this way? If so, have you figured out how to get the external display's touch points synced properly with the phone's? Any help is appreciated!
