How to mirror phone screen to laptop (with broken phone screen) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

<[Q]> Connecting to Samsung TV

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.

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).

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 ?

Is it possible to connect S2 to pc and see what is on the screen of the S2?

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!

Broken screen. Digitiser ok. Access device.

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...

How to control the phone without a screen?

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.

Access tablet after screen has shattered

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..
