[Q] Screen Flip

I use the Netflix and Slingplayer apps on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Unlike many apps, they won't flip if you turn the tab upside down. If I'm looking at a long program or movie, it's nice to be able to keep the charger plugged into the tab, which is pretty much impossible with the tab in normal landscape orientation. Is there any technique or app available which will allow or force the screen to run upside down so I could attach the charging cable to the top?

Want this too

It would also have to force the audio to reverse, I think. Sometimes while using Splashtop to watch a video I'll have to charge the tab. While Splashtop will reorient the screen, it doesn't reverse the stereo speakers. This is a pretty device-specific issue, though, so I don't expect a rapid response from the Splashtop people (they still need to fix Bluetooth mouse support in remote sessions!).
Anyway, first world problems and all, but it would be nice to have a fix.

[Q] Samsung EI-GP20 gamepad with non Samsung Android device usable?

Hello,
has anyone here got the Samsung EI-GP20 to work with something else then a Samsung Android device?
It works without problems with my S3 but when i try to connect it to my lenovo s6000 the controls get totally shot.
The D-Pad and Analog Sticks play mouse and all other buttons, but two, play keyboard (a-i).
The remaining two buttons play "tap/click" and "back" as far as i can see.
I tried a few "tools" to configure gamepads but nothing works.
I'm thankfull for every help i get

[Q] Broken Screen Media Player?

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?

Broken screen, how can I control it? And what can I use the phone for?

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.
