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.

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 was wondering if there was an app that would let you use the phone as a mouse/keyboard for a computer/laptop. Something like Blueputdroid, which turns the phone into a bluetooth mouse/keyboard using root and doesn't require additional software to be installed and configured on the computer.
BluePutdroid would've been just fine but I haven't had luck with it - Whenever I use it, it crashes after a few seconds and corrupts my sdcard somehow.
So does anyone know of app that can turn the phone into a bluetooth or usb mouse/keyboard so it's just like plugging in a normal keyboard or mouse?
Thanks!

First off, most do require somesort of server software and run over wifi, so what OS do you use?
But i happen to use Unified Remote. I love it to death, I wish to hell I could get it on my wifes *cringe* iphone just because it controls literately everything windows. It costs a few bones, but is well worth it (cause of netflix, i use windows as my media boxes, and it has remotes for everything media center on windows...highly recommended.)
Not sure about bluetooth only cause I don't have it on my tv boxes.
If you use Windows you can use an app called Win Remote. Works pretty well.

This is what I use, very simple and works flawlessly. But it does require the server to be ran on the computer. It's got two-finger multi-touch support for scrolling like a MacBook trackpad which is useful for cruising the interwebz.
Hi there,
I got a S2 but after it fell, the screen doesn't work. The first thing I thought was that the LCD was dead, so I put a new front assembly on the phone, but it still doesn't work (and there is nothing wrong with this screen, because it works in a other S2).
So my question is, is there a possibility to connect the phone to the computer and see the screen of the S2 on my computer?
Hope you can help me.
thanks in advance!

Any ideas how i can use my busted SII with MHL? The lcd and touchscreen are busted, but it still powers. Its on a stock rom. Just wondering if there was a solution to control it whilst its plugged into via MHL. I.e. Is there any apps that i can remote download to accept a remote? Plug.in a mouse? Plug.in via pc just to get it to accept/configure an app.
cheers guys

I have the same question, but with a S3.
It would be great to use the powerfull hardware with an external touch monitor.
Any ideas?
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
