Phone's screen (display) suddenly died, everything else still works. Are there any ways I can control the phone 'blind'?
Short cut to turn on accessibility, or have everything on screen read aloud
Control the phone via PC
Mirror the phone on the PC
Only thing I found so far is [email protected], which requires turning on the USB debug option--a little difficult since I can't see the screen.
Thanks
Ive used [email protected] I used that and then installed teamviewer then created a connection to my pc.
Try that. There really isn't much to do with a dead screen sorry man,

Ok, so last night I dropped my Dell Streak on a drunken night out. The LCD display is shot, and I can't even get the screen to function. The glass has not cracked!
Anyway I need to get access to my phone, and have been trying to use MyMobiler to control the phone screen from the PC. However I don't have the USB function enabled on my phone. So when I am plugging the phone to PC and running MyMobiler, there is no USB connection (as it's not enabled on the device)
So with no use of the screen, is there any other way I can control the screen on my Dell Streak, via the PC via USB? As I ideally need to have that "enable USB connection" option checked on the phones menu.. but can't,as the screen is shot!
Any help on this please??
Hello All,
I recently had an accident with my phone and the screen broke into a 1000 pieces but is still together in the mobile.
I am trying to recover the pictures in the internal memory of the S4, and then the insurance will give me an exchange phone.
The problem I am currently having is one that I havnt been able to find on any post on any website, The screen is broke so the touch screen doesnt work, the start button seems to not be working or does work but nothing is shown on the screen or on the LCD light to indicate its on. I am trying to plug the phone into KIES 3, But the phone is not found/recognised so dosnt appear on the screen, I try to press the start button but nothing happens to make it recognise the phone. So seems Kies is a dead end here as it dosnt pick it up, and I also know that USB debugging is not enabled, as I found out by trying to use DR FONE FOR ANDROID, I manage to get to the 2nd option screen but says the USB debugging has to be enabled to work, but without being able to see the screen I cannot enable it. Is there any programme to view the phones screen on the laptop/computer and be able to access the system and enable the USB dbug?
I am currently downloading the ANDROID SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT as I read in some post, but will this resolve my problem or am I gonna hit a dead end???
I am hoping that the ROM/software of the computer hasnt broken or got corrupted as then the phone would be dead.....
Can someone please help me asap, as meanwhile I am without any phone till I am able to repair this one....
May I add that the PC dosnt recognsise it either, no new item appears in MY PC....
Mobile version is: GT-I9505 with the carrier being Orange Spain
Long and short of it is a company replaced a shattered screen. Then, the new screen began to peel away and then the connection became so bad that the screen is not functional. I just get a blank screen. I need to rip all of that data off the old phone so I can back it up and put it on a new phone (courtesy of the company that replaced the screen).
Here's where it gets tricky. The USB connection mode is charge only. I need to set it to MTP, but can't because the screen has lost all functionality. Without MTP, neither Android File Transfer nor Smart switch can't connect to the phone. I think Sidesync would work, but I can't install it on my phone.
An MHL cable won't help because it mirrors what is on the screen, but I can't select anything....
Are there any tricks out there that can help me before I have to send the old phone back in?
Thanks in advance!
You'll have to try fixing it temporarily . youtube has some good info

You can try and take a phone with the same os. If you have 2 computers its best (maybe one laptop or something). Turn both the phones off and connect them both to the computers and turn them both on. Look at the one that you see his screen and press the same places on your phone..

I'm in the same boat, have you found a way?
Hi,
I broke my LCD display a couple of months ago still, I managed to use the phone with the epaper display and eventually reinstall it without clearly writing down the exact procedure (with Lolipop)
Today, as my Marshmallow update freezed, I had to wipe all, thinking well I could easily find the steps to start the phone again.
The only problem remains that Setup Wizard wants us to use the LCD display, and I can't.
The last time I managed to use screen mirroring on Windows, with androidscreencast-0_3_1.jnlp, which is dicontinued.
To that extend, I allowed USB debugging (three lines to add) on system/build.prop and default.prop and copied a file from my computer (adbkeys.pub) to a certain folder in the device, to allow my PC to operate on the cellphone
But that last step doesn't work anymore.
I can see a dialog briefly popping up on the yotaphone, prompting me to allow the computer for debugging, but I can't click.
Droid Explorer tells me that this yotaphone is not allowed in $Vendor (or so on, I can't remember well).
So I managed to authorize the screen mirroring before, to start the phone, but I can't right now, although I found a new app, androidscreencast-0.0.10s-executable.jar.
I would have to copy adbkeys.pub to data/misc/adb/adb_keys, but as of today, that directory doesn't exist.
Can somebody please help me with that?
Thanks,
Hi,
I solved a similar situation by plugging a mouse to the phone using a usb to micro USB adapter (also called USB OTG adapter).

Thank you for answering. And what do it do to plug a mouse?
I've made it : the phone starts again.
If anyone is interested, I'll tell the trick for a broken front screen like mine.
Now I'm looking forward to make an image backup of it as it is very fresh if it can save me or others !
And I need advices for that?
Hi!!!
I have the sale problem
How did you bypass the wizzard???
hi. how do you bypass setup wizard? i had mine reset due to stuck. before im using only back screen. please help!
My front screen also stopped working all of a sudden without me doing anything. I was able to use the eInk so I did a factory reset. Now however I'm stuck since I can't boot the phone without a working front screen. I was wondering if a software issue stops the front screen from working and if there is a way to check/fix it.
Hello guys.
I have a rather weird request: Can someone do a video of the phone doing the steps needed to cast the screen onto a chromecast, from unlocking the screen to casting successfully ?
The story is : my screen died. It was in my hand, no shocks or whatever. The touch still works (called 112 ) but no image. I've opened the phone and tried to move the data cable of the screen, unplugged it, unplugged the battery, only to see some faint lines when opening the phone and quickly dissapearing.
One time, it worked, the screen lit up and worked fine, don't know why. Restarted the phone, and didn't work any more.
No gsm/it services were able to help me, they said it's probably the main board (video chip) and it's not worth it, just buy a new phone.
I can feel the phone working fine, the unlocking is vibrating, and such, but I can't see anything.
I figured to cast the screen onto chromecast and save what ever I can. But I need your help in doing so, because I can't manage to blindly cast. A video of where to touch the screen to cast might help me. So please, spare a few minutes to help me out, and thank you very much !
