My girlfriend dropped her phone and broke most of the digitizer, the screen works fine and looks normal, but only the bottom third half of the digitizer works. I need to find a way to enter the pin so I can get the pictures off her old phone and put them on her new phone. I'm not looking for a way to bypass the security, I'm just looking for a way to enter the pin with a broken digitizer. Any help would be appreciated.
Grab a USB OTG cable and a mouse. The mouse should work regardless of the screen.

very good idea....works like a charm....and you can use a keyboard if you have a multi port USB :good:

Is this possible with the S7?
Sorry to pester; anyone have an answer for this? I'd love to use USB host mode for keyboards and such.
How would you connect the keyboard?

I ordered an adaptor to plug a regular keyboard into the Streak & dock.
(I figured the powered hub might help)
No joy. cannot get cap lock to light up.

Wait, someone made an adaptor for the custom port connector on the Dell Streak? You should ask them how it is to be used. Since they manufactured the part, they must have had some reason to think it would work, and had some idea of what keyboard & etc. would be needed.
Any way for the cab;e we have now to work as a host, or is it hardwired otherwise? I know how USB/MicroUSB works to activate host mode, but no idea with these 30-pin deals.
Just trying this for a keyboard

Has anyone tried using the GN2 with a Smart Dock in combination with an Atrix Lapdock?
Swyped from the closest Galaxy.
You will need a micro hdmi adapter. It will and can work, but it will simply mirror the display of your phone.
I've seen the same question asked on the S3 forums. People have even hooked up PS3's to their lapdocks.

Yes, some sort of adapter would be needed to connect the HDMI from the Smart Dock to the Lapdock. The keyboard and trackpad should work, though, so it will do more than mirror the display, I believe.

Anyone able to make lapdock work with Note 2?
Also any idea where I could pick a Atrix Lapdock up?

uhhh, dont see why the keyboard and trackpad would work from a hdmi connection alone. you'd need to connect the usb as well to enable input. then it just mirrors the display and lets you use keyboard and trackpad.
it wont give you the full atrix lapdock software suite as that was installed on the atrix itself, not on the dock.
Keyboard and track pad should work since smartdock uses 11 pin to use both HDMI and USB OTG. Has any one tried?
If we could somehow hack the power, by patching the microUSB out of lapdock, we could potentially have a stand alone laptop. Any ideas? do any experts think it is feasible?

It should work fine, but I don't own one to test with. The basic idea is to build/buy adapters to connect things up with. If you have a SmartDock, that will get the phone side handled. Do a google for people using the lapdock with Raspberry Pi boards. They have all the details for interfacing to it. I think they even power the Pi with the battery in the lapdock, so you could charge your phone with it if the SmartDock allows for that, which I think it does. At the end of the day, the lapdock is a pretty "dumb" device, it takes standard inputs like HDMI/USB, and doesn't seem to have anything to restrict it to working only with the Atrix.
Hey Guys, been lurking for awhile with my Note 2 and before that my LG G2x, A few questions I hope someone can point me in the right direction as you guys have before just using the search button. I've done some searching but have found conflicting answers as well as not finding my certain situation
I recently broke my Verizon Note 2, not flashed, or rooted just basic stock updates and such. The screen and touch input are useless. I came across this 5-in-1 Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable with OTG Camera Connection Kit / 11-pin Micro USB Adapter for Samsung Galaxy S2 S3 S4 i9500 Galaxy Note, Note II (Micro 5-pin to SD card slot/ TF card slot/Micro USB2.0/HDMI) on amazon and bought it without researching too much further.
I figured I would be able to plug in a USB keyboard or mouse and my HDMI connection to TV and away we go. The phone needs to be sent back to the insurance company and I'd like to get files off the phone to retain or at the very least erase everything. I have a lock screen with PIN and I don't have Bluetooth enabled or any wireless keyboard/mouse paired on the phone so I haven't been able to do too much, it seems that only MHL or OTG will work not both. I know the Samsung Smart Dock will work but since I already ordered, received and opened this device I thought I could get this working. When I plug HDMI, USB keyboard and external power from MicroUSB, in a what seems to be a certain necessary order, I get the note 2 to mirror onto my TV and a USB icon in the upper left hand corner. The optical mouse light turns on like its getting power but no pointer shows on screen. I've had the same indicators with a keyboard but when I input on keyboard no response on screen. I'm kind of lost in what to do next or if the Smart Dock is the best option. I've seen some posts in my searching that people opened up their OTG or MHL device and replaced or added resistors. I don't think that its a viable option as I can return this item less the restocking fee and buy the Smart Dock at a reasonable price. However, that being said I welcome any input as I am looking for help. Thanks in advance for any input or ideas.
If you can view your screen, use an otg cable first and connect a wireless or a wired mouse. With that you can atleast access your phone. U can then turn on ur wifi or bluetooth and connect other device.

Not able to view screen at all on Note 2. Only when is hooked up to the device I bought am I able to see it on TV. If the device is capable of doing both which I'm not sure of it, I'm kinda hoping that it thinks the USB keyboard or mouses that I have tried are mass storage. But again I don't know
I have a note 8 n950F. I am using a type c to hdmi coverter as in the pic. For some reason reason it works my friend;'s s8 and note 8 but not mine. It doesn't give even screen mirroring on my phone. I have tried stock rom and other roms as well giving me the same issue. Could there be a fault in my phone's type c connector or do I need to install a software to force it to work?

I have the same connection and is working good. Cause it's a cheap accessory sometimes it works and some others don't. In order to have DeX you have to connect the USB power, otherwise you only have screen mirroring. Try using different connector , I have to return one because it wasn't working and the second one is working.

I don't even get screen mirroring or anything. Could there be a fault with my phone's port?

I dont know if your port is working; connect your phone with the USB C cable to a PC and see if you can transfer files and charging at the same time, if yes, your port is working properly. Also, if you use your wall charger you should have "fast charge".
Maybe the connector you bought is faulty and you need another one.
I recently trashed my phone, and the screen's completely busted. Both the oled and the touchscreen itself is completely busted, but the phone itself is still working. There's some stuff I wanted to get off the phone, and I was wondering how I could do this.
The phone didn't have usb debugging turned on, I've tried using HiSuite & Vysor, and tried blindly using the screen with USB OTG (however i'm not sure if it was working -- i'm using an older model connector and it's adapted microusb to usbc), but nothing's working. I tried using the HiSuite system recovery, but it said the p20 didn't work with it. Due to that, I'm now locked out as when rebooting normally, I can't input my pin. I'm able to get a usbc to hdmi, but if my screen's bricked, i'm not sure how i'll be able to interact with the phone, on top of if usbc/hdmi will work if it's locked.
Is there a better way to do this that i've overlooked?
You can use an adapter that have hdmi out and usb port and maybe an type c for charging
I have this model and work flawless
I bought it from AliExpress
