Hi All !
First hope all stay safe from COVID !!!
I have a galaxy note 8 with dead screen and "maybe" dead touch function. After connecting phone to my tv with UGREEN TypeC-HDMI+USB adapter, I can controll the phone to disable all screen lock accept swipe and enable USB debugging. But now DEX not working, and everything I can do is seeing my phone battery level via Samsung Find My Phone. It still connects to my wifi network.
All solutions that I tried to mirror my phone need acceptance from device, but I couldn't do anything with deadscreen. The TypeC port occupied with cable so I couldn't plug mouse or keyboard.
It's a waste to throw this phone away and it pollutes our environment. I would like to use it until it deads totally.
Please help. Thank you in advance
Up ! UP ! UP !
Hoping someone have solution for this issue.

Hello all,
so my brother threw down his phone. Now it has big crack on the back and a light one on the display.
Despite this display looks ok, but only the upper half reacts to touch ...
So the idea is now to do some backups and then sent it in for repair.
The phone is stuck at the lock screen and cannot be unlocked because the number are in the lower half of the screen.
My first idea is to enable the "Glove modus" (Settings -> Display -> Enable Gloves) and maybe the display will still react to pressure touch... (?)
However how can I enable this modus, is it possible via adb and how?
Any help appreciated, cheers
PS:
The phone is rooted, btw.
Use mouse

What do you mean, exactly?
Maybe he meant to plug a mouse using an OTG cable. I haven't tried myself so i can't vouch for the method
He's right. Buy any cheap USB OTG adapter and plug any USB mouse (even wireless) to Your phone. Tested and working.
Thanks, USB OTG adapter did the trick.
hi I have rooted my note 8 and have a custom kernel to allow me to use dex with a third party dock. everything seems to work fine I have a usb keyboard plugged in that has no problems what so ever, but the mouse on the other hand is not working.
The actual problem I have is when I plug a usb mouse in the on-screen touchpad turns off, but the mouse cursor disappears from screen and there seems to be no response from any movement or button presses.
i have looked through the settings and can't see anything that would affect it in such a way, I have tried 2 different mice and every usb port.
unfortunately I don't have another rooted device or genuine dex dock to see if either of them makes a difference.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice on what to try next.
Hi! My phone fell off recently and the screen suddenly turned black with some dead pixels coming when tapping the unlock button or the fingerprint. So the phone is working but alas the screen is not functional. I´m going to send it over to google since I have warranty over it, but I´d like to know if there´s any way to backup any files I can from it (pictures mostly, audio, video...) before I mail it off and lose it forever.
When I plug the phone to the PC with USB cable I get the usb sound and the phone seems to charge, but I cannot select USB data transfer mode. Any idea of how could I take my files? Thank you all!
Bump, Same Problem here.
Without being able to manipulate Android system via the touchscreen, the answer is unfortunately no.
That being said, since it's a Pixel, your photos should be backed up to your Google Photos account.
If you have adb already enabled on your device these might help.

[Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!
My S10 fell out of my hands the other day and the bottom half of the screen is broken. The top half of the screen is somewhat visible. I'd like to get all the data/pictures off of the phone.
What is the best way to do this? I can't get it unlocked because I have no idea if touch is still working on the bottom half, so I can't really get it into USB Transfer mode. I'd like to avoid going to the local phone fixer.
Thanks for your help.
Maybe you can try to connect it to a USB-C Monitor, some have built in hubs to which you can connect a mouse and then control the phone like that. I know that not everyone has a USB-C Monitor but maybe you can find one at work or something. Hope that helps you.

Hi everyone,
I have a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G with a broken screen, and I need to enable USB Debugging to access and backup my data. Unfortunately, I can't see anything on the screen, making it impossible to navigate the interface.
I have tried using a USB OTG adapter and USB mouse, but since the screen is unresponsive, I cannot interact with the phone. I am unable to access the settings or enable USB Debugging through regular means.
I'm seeking advice on alternative methods or solutions to enable USB Debugging on my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G without relying on the screen. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to proceed.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
cndroid
you cant
Well, it's difficult, but not necessarily impossible.
Does screen mirroring over USB connector work?
Do you know if the touch screen still works?
Do you have an absolute position digitizer tablet?
Have you considered buying a screen? You wouldn't have to really install it, just hang it.
Can you flash a new boot image?
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/accessing-my-phone-with-a-dead-screen.4542763/
Then there is my own Swiper app, but that's complicated to use too.
As it was not on debug mode / developer mode, i can't take backup using cmd prompt/ adb mode. thinking to buy comptable LCD screen on ebay and fix it myself and take backup of phone. highstreet shops are asking £70, which is not worth for this phone.
Yes, but there is a difference between the cost of a replacement screen that you just wire off the back and an actual screen replacement.
