Long story short, it's display got cracked, but the LCD panel is completely ok but 'Touch' does not work, so I decided to use a mouse to use a tablet, I connected a USB mouse using a Micro USB converter, the mouse turns on but it's curser does not show on the display and it does not work. I can't get past the lockscreen. What can I do? What Should I do? Why does the mouse does not work?
p.s. Repairing is not a option right now.
Found any solution?

Hi guys, i am (was) an owner of a GS4.
Once i wanted to sell my mobile.
Home button became squishy and didn't respond at all.
(Now i couldn't sell it but it worked for me).
I used a Custom Rom and assigned the menu as a home button.
Then, there was this mortifying day that i sat on my GS4 for an hour without knowing and the screen became all purple.
(Now, i couldn't sell it + it didn't work).
I looked up for a screen replacement and the price was about 160 USD.
And guess what a used GS4 cost? 160 USD as well.
So, i gave up and on my mind came up the idea to use it as a media player via MHL cable.
Now, i know that this will work. (Yes i know, that when you connect your phone to the MHL a pop-up appears on the screen but with a little fiddling on it i will press the "use tv output mode" (the colors of the screen are almost black but touch still works)).
Thus, we come to the questions of this journey,
1 - Will i be able to play videos and games on full screen when i rotate the phone?
2 - Is there a way, for the phone to operate without a battery BUT with a constant power supply from the wall charger?
Sorry for the long speech here but i felt creative.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, MHL cable works on SlimKat rom.
When cable plugs in, it automatically mirrors the screen to the tv.
Only problem is, the edges of the mirrored image exceed the television edges.
Any help?

Hello everyone,
I have a LG G2 with a broken LCD and digitizer. I can't see a thing. However, I have a mouse and an OTG cable that allows me to still control the phone (I had been doing this when just the glass digitizer screen was cracked but then the LCD went out too). The phone is still functional, since I can still receive/answer phone calls and text via MightyText, so I wanted to know if I could somehow just cast what is displayed on the phone to my computer. I don't think USB debugging is on either. If I could turn on usb debugging, instead, then I would just use some of the other methods I have seen on the web to show the phone screen on my computer.
Thanks in advanced for your help guys!
My I dropped my S7 edge and cracked the screen so that half of the screen kind of works but the touch does not work. I can see the lockscreen but if I connect a mouse I see a pointer for a fraction of a section then the screen goes dark. Maybe the lockscreen disables it.
But what are the best way to install some app on it to be able to remotley control it from a computer without using the touch?
If I get control of the phone can I use a chromecast to cast the screen to an external screen or are there any other aletrnatives as I read that there are none MHL support any longer.
And what could you use it for ? maybee some sort of Tasker "server",
crappy game console if you could cast the screen to a chromecast connected tv and add a bluetooth controller.?
What other scenarios could you use it for?
I know this is old but I'm at this part with a Samsung Galaxy s7 I have. The screens on these phones just are to fragile. I didn't even drop it and the back got so hot the glass broke on the back with not dropping it. Then next thing I know it the screen and lcd are all gone crazy on the front. I already Samsung backed up.
I'm wondering if there is a way to use ABD to push a set up so that I can use the phone connected to the chromecast or something where I can see it on my smart TV. So I guess is there an app to upload adb and a certain way to allow the Bluetooth keyboard to connect to take control. This is a really interesting way to find ways to have fun... Just thought it would be worth figuring out so people who are stuck with broken screens can maybe use the android as a backup drive on the computer ext...
I know that anything is possible. I don't really like to say that there is no way because there is a way to do anything if we put are minds to it. . But I don't know enough about it to making calls like that. I hope someone can at least figure out so we can use Bluetooth and wireless to get a working screen on the device in its altered state.

Hi All
I have a water damaged LG V20. Impact of water damage is that the screen backlight does not work. Originally the main screen backlight was u/s but enough light came from the other screen to make out what was on the screen. Now this has failed as well.
The phone itself seems to work OK as the PC recognises it when the USB cable is plugged in and the phone is still making its normal noises when things happen - I just cant see the screen!
So I'd quite like to be able to mirror the screen on my PC but I have no idea how to do that when I cant actually see anything on the V20 screen to set up an app in the V20. So is there
- a product that can be driver totally from the PC end?
- a way to make the screen contents visible however dimly
Or some other solution?
One reason for wanting to do this is the default USB connection is 'charging' and I need to be able to set it to File Transfer so I can get some files off the device. Ding this without being able to see anything on the screen is beyond me!
