Hi All,
I've recently bought a dock with power and usb port, but unfortunately and for some reason, my USB OTG cable doesn't work. Anyway since my dock will be connected to the PC, OTG might not be needed.
I need a program for windows to control my galaxy note through USB. I don't want to see the phone display on my computer, I want to use the laptop's mouse and keyboard to control the phone as if am connect through OTG. Ideas?
refer HERE
I have already searched the forum for a solution and I couldn't find one. VNC or screen cast are not what I am looking for. The idea here is to transfer control as if you're connected through OTG, without the need to stream the display to the PC...

dude, no offense, there are better ways and apps for the same thing, there's too much effort to go through with what you've posted.
but actually, I'm also curious as to the OP's question

Airdroid is pretty good for this over wifi... Just allocates a port under your ip address and you connect through browser.

Sorry, just read your post properly, this ain't what you're after at all I should probably go back to bed.

Hey everyone. I just bought the Samsung Smart dock. Everything seems fine, but there is one Problem. If i watch a Video in Fullscreen, the control buttons disappear and don't show, if i move the Mouse...the Cursor doesn't show either on my TV, only on my Phone. Anyone can tell me how to fix this Problem? Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty sure if you click on the bottom where the controls are supposed to be they will show up.
That's how I got mine to show up.
Can't hover..you have to actually click on the bottom as if it was already showing.
Edit...I'm pretty sure the pointer shows on mine though...

I don't understand why im the only one with this issue. I own the same Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as everyone here and use the same Dock. wdf lol
Once you connect external keyboard, you won't need to touch your phone. Phone screen is blank with keyboard attached.

Now i can guess why this isn't working so well. Im using a Wireless Keyboard+Mouse combination through a stick ( not bluetooth). The Phone doesn't show the Keyboard in the drop down menü at all, but the Keyboard works though. This must be the Reason.
Does anyone know a trick, where i could make my phone think, that a usb keyboard is plugged?
EDIT: Found a trick. I just plugged in an another USB Mouse and the display of the Phone turned off. Now everything works great. Its a waste of a USB slot, but im ok with that...better than buying new Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.
EDIT: Its laggy somehow, if 2 Mouses are connected. I need a way, to modify the USB reciver of the Mouse/Keyboard. Anyone can tell me, how to get access to a USB devices, to modify it?

Try pluging a USB flash drive instead of the usb mouse and see if the wireless one will work OK

The lag might be because of the screen turning off. I currently have that issue. When I plug in a wired mouse, the screen on the phone turns off but the output over HDMI gets really laggy. It happens even when you only have the wired mouse connected without any other USB peripherals. I haven't found a workaround for it yet.
The case is... hardware video overlay.
To be more specific:
1) whenever a hw-decoded video is played, it is handled by GPU only (-> only video surface is rendered, no software overlay controls, etc. available via HDMI)
2) you can force software rendering ("composition") by attaching an external USB HID device (mouse/keyboard, but keep in mind that a USB RF receiver for mouse/keyboard does not trigger renderer switch) - both video and overlay controls will be available via HDMI but with a degraded performance ("software rendering")
I do the following: use external mouse, etc. to select a desired video, click 'play' and then disconnect the USB accessory.
Tell me about the smart dock, it looks like it should be charging a spare battery in the back but I didn't read that anywhere in the description... Also you can only use it in portrait mode?? What's up with that? I find it hard to get over these 2 hurdles for $99.

The back of the device has hdmi out, micro usb port for power and 3.5mm jack for audio out to externally powered speakers. Initially it will only work in portrait but you can either use a launcher or you can use the app Ultimate Rotation Control to force the phone into landscape, even on the homescreens. Either option works well. The phone also come with a 2A charger as well. For $99, a keyboard and mouse (logitech k400 is awesome!) a few play store apps and a little time to get everything setup just the way you want, you will have a fully functional mobile computer.
When I disconnect my phone I use the rotation app to go back to auto and my phone functions just the way it normally does. Stupid simple.

there must be a way for wireless mouse/keyboard to turn off the phone screen
Working well with HDMI and USB. I can connect USB Sticks, Samsung Printers, Keyboard and Mouse. Buy it!

video decoding method isn't the only cause of lag.
in desktop mode there is quite a performance drop even when not playing any video files.
you can test this with 3dmark, your score will be average when using screen mirroring, but it will drop by 10% when in desktop mode (single screen)
Has anyone possibly figured out a way to disable or remove the Galaxy Note 2's "desktop mode" switch? I have a USB mouse which I would love to use with it (don't want to spend extra $ on a bluetooth mouse), so I was thinking that the problem could be solved if the automatic detection of the mouse and subsequent switch to "desktop mode" could be disabled somehow. Thoughts?
Hi there,
i was searching for a way i could stream the video output of my ouya on my Notebook. Without using the HDMI output.
The Idea came because i only have one HDMI TV and i am not livng alone, so for basic things the sreaming would be good for me.
Anyone some ideas?

Mods, please move this thread to the q&a section..
To kind of answer your question, look for something that shares the screen from a phone/tablet over tcp to a laptop and sideload it.
You can by ALIENWARE m18x laptop, it has separate both HDMI in and out.
So you can connect OUYA via hdmi cable to it.:silly:

with that kinda of reply he is far better getting a new tv.
just get one of these

It seems like everything uses HDMI these days, from home theater equipment to your Android phone. With so many HDMI devices in use, most televisions quickly run out of available HDMI input ports. You don't want the hassle of plugging and unplugging cables whenever you want to watch or play something different and you don't want the expense of new TV. Just get this 4x1 Enhanced HDMI Switch from Monoprice!
What he is looking for is a alternative option to the TV he shares. I don't think many laptops have video in. You would need to get a USB device to do that. However those are capture devices and I believe the OUYA signal has DRM restrictions.

Some USB capture devices have been known to work, you'll have to look that up, but there is a dev working on a way to do it over a network. Right now it's still in the concept phases, however, and I wouldn't expect to see it anytime soon.
Ok quick questions I want to be able to mirror my screen from my nexus 6 to a tv. Chromecast is not an option because where I will be doing this there is not wifi and a router available. Any suggestions ?
Thanks,

Not sure, but without WiFi, I think a USB to HDMI may be the only option. Again, not my specialty.
Things like EZcast can do wifi from phone to wifi on the usb dongle, however warning, screen sharing is flaky. You can share pictures and maybe videos via gallery apps, but anything else seems poor. You definitely cannot do games.
Your best shot is to buy a USB to HDMI cable (I don't know the name really), but at least I know that they exist and work.
Mhl adaptor
Uhm, hate to burst everyone's bubble, but nexus 6 *doesn't have MHL*. There is no way to plug an hdmi into a Nexus 6 with a wire. Chromecast or VNC are basically your only options.
Can't you enable Hotspot thus making your phone into a router? I did this when I moved and my Chromecast connected to it. Then cast screen. Just tested it and it works for me. Chromecast on. Hotspot I simply gave my Hotspot name same as my house wifi so everything can connect to my phone if needed. Then cast screen. I unplugged my router to test and it works fine.

It was just a suggestion, I didn't know if it worked or not, I cast to my xbone so no cable needed here
Just a few days after taking the case off my phone because it was interfering with wireless charging, I dropped it. Was in excellent condition after several years of use. So, how can I access the phone either via rebooting it with the sd or wired? With the screen cracked, I cannot turn on USB debugging through the system>about> method.
Yes, well... good luck.
Maybe you can try it with Samsung Dex or if just the touch is broken you can connect a mouse with an USB-C Adapter.
Buy a usb-c to hdmi with at least one usb, then you can use dex mode or while in dex clicking on the right bottom you can switch from dex mode to "phone-mirror" mode and use your phone.

If they can navigate to that setup with a dead display... it's going be a tall order if it doesn't automatically connect.

Here with mine galaxy s10 it automatic connects to the hdmi out, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems that few people has the issue of wanting something with a broken screen phone, here i'm trying to install a rom that has Aroma graphic interface to install, and i get it how hard can it be.
