Easiest way to screenmirror - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask you something, it is a thing which I did not tried earlier so I have no knowlage about it.
What I need is some app with which I can mirror the screen of my phone (S7 Edge non-rooted, Android 7) to my Windows 8.1 PC. I need also to be able to do stuff on the phone directly via the PC, like opening apps, and answering on instant messages.
Is there a way to do it without root, and if yes, what would you recomend? Thank you in advance.

Just search it in Youtube.... cuz I forgot the app

I have no access to youtube here, also I do not know what to search exactly from.
To get it in short, I need some sort of remote control of my phone via PC, but not like Teamviewer which keeps the display and phone awake all times. I need something to be able to use without the screen on the phone itself turning on, or if not possible like that, to turn it on just when I do something via remote and to get it again to turn of when idle.

Phone to Chrome

Is it possible to be able to go the opposite way (Phone to Chrome)?
Open for discussion..
It would be interesting, but the logic would require some server service running on your desktop running chrome right?
Phone to Chrome would be great hope they can implement that feature in the future.
Search for android2cloud.
yup, android2cloud works great

Remote Functions

I'm enjoying my 2nd android device but can't find the website to use the remote functions.
Could anyone help or share the link?
Thank you

You need to go into the Kies Air app, it will give you the URL for the website - you'll need to be on the same WiFi network (assuming its much the same as Kies Air for the original Galaxy S).

Are you talking about the site to remotely find and wipe your phone...
I tried it yesterday... Couldn't get the remote ring to work unfortunately...
It's called Samsung Dive (.com)

Thanks for your advice... I just checked and I did enter it the way you recommended... But it doesn't work. The other features for tracking and call logs work... Weird!
Is it worth using Samung Dive remote tracker etc if I already have Lookout installed? I haven't managed to find any reviews for Dive...
I am using Dive. I do not have lockout.
I am also using Exchange with remote wipe enabled.
If your phone is new, do everyone a favor and test remote wipe through samsung dive
I wanted to do it myself, but by the time I found time I already had my phone heavily customized, did not want to ruin that.
In Dive I only tested "Locate" and "Lock" features, they work at first glance, but again I did ont try to bypass the "lock" feature - it may as well be possible.

Screen Broke, Need Help Recovering Files/Settings

Today my phone fell out of my pocket and was ran over and the screen was completely crushed and ruined. The phone still works because I still hear it receiving calls, emails, and texts but I can't interact with the screen. I'm able to plug it into my computer and save the files off of it though.
What I really want to do is remotely control my phone through my computer so I can save my texts, do a titanium backup, and check my missed calls. Is there any program out there that can do this? BTW, I lost root when I updated so I cant use any programs that require root.
I'm pretty sure you could do this with the android sdk. Haven't used it myself but I remember seeing people with their phones screen mirrored I their pc. Also the phone screen is mirrored when your in the webtop.

Does the Android SDK require root to mirror my phone to my PC?
I think trying to emulate the phone through SDK is your best bet...other than that I can't think of anything else...

I dont think it does but not entirely sure i've always rooted my phones as soon as I get them and dont have much experience with the sdk just know it can do it. Hopefully someone who knows better than me can help you out on how to get it working.
use the webtop interface? it would let you use the phone without the phone.

I unfortunately do not have the laptop accessory for the Atrix. Unless there is alternative way to hook it up to my computer without having to install anything on my phone first?
go to an att store and try it there? you might be able to use it to copy stuff to the card or do what you need.
Search for a windows java program called androidscreencast. It would let your phone's screen show on your windows pc. You can then use your mouse to control the phone.
Replace the screen and use the phone. They replace very easy.
When you asked if is required to root earlier: no but you do need to somehow enable USB debugging

Virus scanner

Is a virus scanner needed?

You can use one if you're paranoid but in my opinion its not needed. Just watch and review everything you download and look over what permissions they ask for. Always download content from trusted sources and also read the comments/reviews to see what others feedback would be.
Not always. But its definitely nice to have. Get lookout on the market. It will automatically scan apps. If not for that its great for finding your phone if its lost.

Yes I also HIGHLY recommend Lockout for total package. We don't need virus scanner but even if we had virus the scanner won't pick it up as it has to be in the definition.db for it to work.
What does this "Lookout" app do to help you find your phone??

You create a log in at look out's web site and if you should lose it you can remotely turn on the GPS to track it, or turn on a siren type alert tone so you find it if you lost it in your house our your car. If you have the paid service there are some extras like remote lock, and remote wipe.

Whoa. Thanks. Setting this up immediately lol sounds incredibly useful and good tool to have so theres no worrying about the Ifs.
Question about the paid service, say I DO lose my phone and want to remote lock and/or wipe, can i pay for it at that time then use that feature, meaning i dont have to pay for it until i actually need it. Or does it require some setting up on the phone's end?

Control Your Note 10.1 From Your PC - Including Using S Note

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

Thanks so much, just too tired to look properly...
Here's a DB link to the skin files that are installed on my PC. They aren't labeled by device but one of the five is for the Note 10.1. Good luck.

Great app indeed. 8 hours up without a single issue. For coping and pasting you can try PushPullet. I use on my chrome to push text and list fast to my droid.

So, this is working great and seems cool and all, but I cannot figure out a reason to actually use it. Why would anyone need to do this?

WOW!! Great find!!
This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.
