Hello i just bought a new phone since the screen on my s5 got crushed.
So i am wondering on what i should do with it, is there any cool stuff to do?
Yes the phone is rooted
Sorry for my english i'm norwegian
Sell it for spares or repair on ebay,, or keep it for spares yourself
If only the screen is broken get micro usb to hdmi 11 pin cable Bluetooth controller and you have multimedia player, game center etc.
I use this setup when traveling

Hi
I've just had an accident with my Galaxy S4 LTE, which broke it in a major way which completely broke the screen and digitizer as the phone got stuck in a car door slammed shut... really nasty :cyclops:
somehow by some miracle it still works, buttons, speakers, charging and all, just not the screen and I am thinking I will just use it as the most expensive android TV stick there is, with bluetooth keyboard and usb video out but I have one pickle.
right now I have MIUI rom, without USB debugging and broken video out, and I am thinking I need original samsung rom to get the video-out capabilites, but as I do not have a screen on my S4 so I think I would have to make a custom rom with remote desktop and/or usb debugging enabled so I can use my computer to set it up but I don't know how I can do any of that and I'm looking here for pointers and help.
Any suggestions?

Yep, that's a bust but that is not a big surprise for me because I have turned it off, along with usb debugging
Hi guys, picked up a smart dock over the weekend, gonna try a new project where I get rid of my PC and use my phone for everything, and see how it goes.
Only issue I have is that when connecting the Note 3 to the dock the screen doesn't switch off, and because its only MHL 1.0 it won't charge the phone quicker than it discharges. I got the smart dock after watching a youtube video where the guys screen goes off when the MHL is connected and he says that some do, some don't and he can't find out why or what causes it.
I did find an app that switches the screen off when using MHL but it needs root and my device is only a couple weeks old and I have no insurance, so not ready to trip knox and void my warranty just yet, although if there was a custom rom that handled docking better than stock I probably would just insure it and go for it.
Also, anyone found a dock with MHL 2.0 and USB OTG? Could only find MHL 1.0 when I was looking (want 1080p goodness really lol, MHL 1.0 only seems to go to 720p).
Thanks in advance
I get S4 I337 with broken digitizer and lcd,
phone recognized in:
-Kies3 as I337 MK2 [COM3]
-Odin3 v3.09 in download mode [COM4]
I want to buy new LCD w/Digitizer and Faceplate Frame
But before buy LCD, how to test the phone - is it functional?
what variant is the best?:
1 - buy HDMI adapter, connect TV + Usb keyboard/mouse
2 - Root phone and install droidVNC Server by this Tuto
or something else?

I have some data inside my Secure Folder and in my regular storage in my S8+, but the screen is busted. (The LCD and digitizer don't work now) Any way to get access into my phone? Connecting it to HDMI shows my phone onto a monitor, but since the digitizer is broken I can't even do that. Unfortunately the USB Debugging was not enabled, and SideSync has not been used on the phone. I have to send it to Samsung for repairs soon, if anyone knows any way...please help!
Buy a dex dock and return it when you saved your data ?
Use the otg adapter that came in the box n hook it to a bluetooth keyboard
Hey all
Got a Edge with a broken screen and a stack of pics in the secure folder.
Any way of getting these pics back without spending the cost of 150£ for a new screen?
Not bothered about the phone
Cheers

get a $20 MHL adapter, output video to a tv via hdmi and hope your digitizer still works. If the digitizer is broken also, you can connect a usb keyboard to the mhl adapter to control the phone
you can give this a whirl too
