Hello, just wondering if you could help me, I already can't see anything on my phone screen but the touch is still working. Is there anything I can do to see the screen on my laptop and use it there?
You are life savior. I accidentally dipped my phone into water and screen touch is no longer working. As you suggested, I plugged in a dongle which has usb input, and plugged in keyboard. Viola, keyboard controlling the screen worked!!
@smartdepot So I can just buy the usb chord and usb keyboard and this will work? or do I have top make sure all of that stuff is turned on the phone first? because I have no way of doing that the phones not letting me move anything on the screen and dont even think I can on a 2016 windows phone. I dont want to waste my money if I cant just buy those 2 things to get it to work
my thought exactly, I cant see my phone and have been digging for a way to get the files off without being able to see the screen. Just a bunch of people who can still see the screen anyways lmao thanks Google!
How are you bro, hope you're doing great. I have a cracked screen android 14 phone which is a pixel 6 and want to navigate it in my computer. Will the method in the video work for a pixel 6?@@SmartDepot
Wow you just gave me the greatest idea! I was so sad when my phones screen broke and i couldn't use it😔. Didnt know all i had to do was to unlock my phone and go to the settings and turn on usb debugging and finally be able to access my phone with a mouse since my screen doesn't work lol😱😱😱
I think it's important for people to know that with some phones, using a bluetooth mouse or keyboard may not work. My pixel 6 pro had a cracked screen but the bluetooth debugging wasn't activated in the settings so the mouse wasn't recognized. I plugged in a usb cabled keyboard and got success. Thanks for showing this!
The problem is that people generalize smartphone broken screen issues. Solving the problem varies a lot. From phone features like cast or wireless display to settings like USB debugging or trusted computer. I do expect each phone to be passworded but that too is a problem. Default USB to PC configuration and lot more, each case has its peculiarities and unique requirements
Thank you so much! You saved my data. I couldn't get smart switch to work because I couldn't get in to my old phone. The screen was so broken it would only turn on when it was charging. I literally have it sitting on a charging pad, and plugged in to my mouse so I can click what I need to click on this end for the smart switch
Its funny how you tell us to go into developer options but my screen is broken and I can't do that. This is why I'm watching this video lol. What if my screen is broken?
Man you really saved my sanity with that second tip you showed. I was having issues seeing my authenticator codes due to a busted screen that still had touch functionality. I managed to share the screen to my TV wirelessly and export the accounts to another device. Thanks dude!
@@billiejean1284 Yeah and I think they changed it recently too so you cant do this anymore... havent tried though just something someone said on reddit. Good luck!
doesnt work for totally unusable screens, misleading. thanks for trying but you said you can do it with a completely broken screen, and instead use a screen that you can still see some stuff on :/
hi I am having a problem with my iPhone. the screen is broken that is why I cannot unlock it, I already bought an OTG to try to connect it with the phone but it says unlock iPhone to use accessory could you please tell me what I should do now?
hey can you help me please , my screen doesnt even turn on but the phone itself working properly (i can hear notifications) but how to get the screen output without any hdmi ?
Thanks for the info. I broke a phone's touch screen recently, and now I'm replacing it, but needed acces to backup and transfer everything. Now I now how.
Is there anything you can do if your screen is broken/smashed and also your screen display does not show (meaning all I see is black even when I turn my phone on)? Or the only thing I can do is buy a screen replacement or get a new phone?
Hello, I have galaxy 7edge with black screen, I forgot password and email that was setup for google account. Is there anyway that I can retrieve the photos from the phone? Thanks
You have multiple problems here! If you fix your screen, them you are most likely to lost every data in the phone. I'll suggest you fix or replace the screen first. Next is to check if your phone has a locked bootloader or rooted. I don't know if all the efforts will be worth the photos inside the phone but if it is that important, then you should do it
What if the prompt to unlock phone is pattern? Also, you're saying this will only work if you previously changed the settings anticipating you breaking your screen / touch feature in the future?
If it is pattern, you'd have to do a blind guess. There are some devices that have USB-C display port output function so that's another option if you hadn't enabled USB-C debugging before the screens demise
Thank you! My phone got ran over twice and worked fine for a month until half the screen stopped responding! Now I am waiting on a replace and tour trick helped me out so i can turn on my hotsoit

I found a way to use the phone with scrcpy and using option --turn-screen-off which allows for my model of phone to see the screen on computer and use it. But this means I wouldnt be able to use the phone with a mouse without a pc because I would have to have the screen off with some method I see that there are options with software to disable touchscreen, but this seems actually disables all input including mouse.
Hello Smart Depot Tech, I have a Google pixel 7 pro with a broken screen. I tried to transfer the data directly to my new phone but without unlocking the phone and selecting the prompts that's just not possible. I also tried to plug directly into my computer through USB-c, USB and HDMI without any luck. Do you have any advice on data recovery if the phone screen is cracked and unusable? Thanks
Google disabled USB-C Display port output for most cheaper adapters on Pixel 7 (a very dump decision). However, certified Display link dock can work. I'll send you a link later. I obvious that Google didn't pay for some certification to allow it work on simple adapters. Unfortunately, Certified Display docks cost around $150 - $250 and at that price, it is better to buy a replacement screen from Aliexpress
Hey man! I really need your help.. The screen on my Samsung s10 suddenly stopped working, and I don't have Dex activated. The phone has switched off since.

Not if the OEM doesn't make a provision for that. That could be possible in some phones that the manufacturer added display port or the USB port combines as display output
Hi how to enable debugging option.. my phone's screen has been completely blank and brocken . I want to connect my phone to laptop by using vysor . Please share an easy way please.
Why on earth aren't so called smart phones built more like a camera? With a body, something to grasp and a degree of protection. They seem designed to drop and break.

Plug it in and see what happens. It will certainly not explode. If the screen still works, you can quickly get out any important information in it before either replacement of screen or sending it to refuse dump
Can you please tell me my tablet screen is broken from inside but i can see everything and touch is not working is can i connect mouse and take out my data
First, it depends on the the Tablet. Does it have OTG functionality? If it has then you can use OTG to connect mouse or keyboard. You can then turn on Bluetooth or WiFi and share files. You can also use USB cable to directly share files
Do i need developer option turned on to used a keyboard or mouse because my screen is working and i dont need any files i just want to be able to go into my email and reset my password thats all and i dont think i have developer options on
@@SmartDepotMy screen is flashing the what'sapp notification and can't even see the numbers on the screen to enter the pin even if I connect the OTC adapter. Can I swipe up to see the pin screen using the OTG and the keyboard? If so, how?
If your screen's screwed, you can't access dev options, or debug mode, or any of that. This is for people with minor cracks - if your display is actually fucked up, none of this helps.
@@SmartDepot no the settings are alright and so is the USB c port and I also believe the touchscreen is actually working ! but I can't see what's on the screen therefore I can't even login

I have an issue with phone buttons, when I connect Samsung S8 it mirrors the screen of a phone with a buttons under section, while connecting Samsung S7/J7 it shows up only a screen without buttons section, so I'm not able to click "back" or others.... Do you have any ideas what's the issue and how to solve it? Thanks in advance.
What software are you using for the mirror?
@@SmartDepot Scrcpy
@@asthonsbackgrounds you could make a report to the developers on Github and see if they'd help
Is it possible to create an own LCD screen for that Phone to convert it as an Mobile Netbook
Not if the OEM doesn't make a provision for that. That could be possible in some phones that the manufacturer added display port or the USB port combines as display output
If this is possible how would it be done?
@@SmartDepot Please can I get my info back on Samsung A71 that has a panel issue.....I would love to get the data on my Samsung note
It will require you to send it to advanced lab that can read the phone storage chip and send you back the data but that could be very expensive.
Hi how to enable debugging option.. my phone's screen has been completely blank and brocken . I want to connect my phone to laptop by using vysor . Please share an easy way please.
What's your device model and Android OS version
It worked! Thank you for this informative video!
Do you have to use a keyboard? I can get the mouse. Can I hook it to my laptop??
would any of these tricks still work if I have a broken screen + just switched on phone combo (I am at the pin stage)?
It depends on the phone OEM, some can add some restrictions to OTG accessibility
bro did it works on xiaomi or redmi phones my touchpad isnt working please tell i am in serious trouble
IF YOUR SCREEN IS CRACKED HOW CAN YOU GO TO ANY OPTIONS????????????
okay, but we do i do if i can't see the screen and it's just a bunch of messed up, mis-colored pixels?
Do you need usb debugging enabled to connect otg mouse and keyboard to android phone or is it not required?
No you don't need USB debugging for that but you'll need it if you want to use any type of USB mirroring
does this work if i just connect it straight to my laptop and use the touch pad insted of the mouse ???
great video btw
No, it will require a few drivers integration. Some phones don't even have OTG function
Why on earth aren't so called smart phones built more like a camera? With a body, something to grasp and a degree of protection. They seem designed to drop and break.
I get the point, my worry is why is it not compulsory for all smart phones to have a display output port.
i think we got the same smartphone. unfortunately on android 12 the keyboard on lock screen seems not working but i'm not sure because my phone screen and touch is completely dead. i hope i can turn on debug usb in some way...
Turning on debug mode will be very hard if not done prior to the dead screen. You can get a cheap replacement screen from Aliexpress
But if i cant see the screeen how can i do what you are asking me to debugg
hey bro my phone sampsung note 20 ultra total black screen, when i charge my phone it just blink a light then its off. i try to put a keyboard but it also blink a light and still not accessible. can you help me how to fix it. thank you

You are watching the wrong video. Here is the video I made with Samsung Galaxy S8 broken screen. th-cam.com/video/ell0UoH5T6U/w-d-xo.html
You can order the adapter from Aliexpress in the video description
I have a s8+ . it broken absolutely and with google verification inside. Accidently i reset it, and now i dont know how to reuse it with dex mode. How i can do with it
One of the most useful videos I have seen. You re a genius! I managed to save all my contacts and all my pics..thank you!
Is this the real you got me thinking when I saw the notification 🔔 of this comment. 😂 Had a good laugh! Thanks for the nice comment. A sub, like and share will be glorious 🙏🙏
@@SmartDepot is this the real you? haha liked and subscribed. you're a life saver :)
Thanks for the sub! This must be the real you... 😉 I'll try and keep it real, creating solutions as much as I can.
Love from Nobekaw, Ghana 🇬🇭
thanks... it is working
Thank you sooo much, this really helped me. 😁
Hello Smart Depot NG, my phone's screen just broke a few days back and I can't access it! I didn't turn on developer mode and automatically activated the file transfer mode beforehand, what should I do?
For starters, what's your phone model?
hey listen, i have a problem, my touch layer is roughly bent and maybe cut by the glass so it randomly touches in random places of the screen so i cant do anything
You can use OTG adapter with mouse 🖱 connection or Bluetooth mouse 🖱 for precise clicks but nothing can be done much about the touch
How do I do this on my iPhone? I can't log into it and the touch on one side isn't working and I don't have the right cords.
you'll hwve to buy a lightening port otg at least, then use a mouse to do the clicking of the passcodes
@@SmartDepot I can't understand your text because it is misspelled.
@@areboy2020 Do you use a translator?
@@SmartDepot No.
nice video, but that wifi "covid-19" killed me
What can I do if I can't see a thing, but the fone stills working and on? is there a way to mirror the screen? from blind to something?
It depends on the phone. If it supports USB-C display port output function
What about a ipod Gen 2 that screen is completely dark is there a fix for that
I have no idea if ipod supports OTG connection
so if I am unable to enable developer options I cannot control my phone with the keypad and mouse?
Yes, unless your phone is capable of USB-C display port output function
Can you kindly help to get and download the HOME.tar.md5 file, Latest Combination firmware file, DRK file of my smartphone i.e SM-J730GM, because i searching it on internet and youtube but cannot get this files for flashing in my smartphone.
Go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
And find the firmware for your device
@@SmartDepot @Soft Flash i need this file because my samsung galaxy j7 pro got stuck at reboot loop and displaying message "installing system update" for few seconds and then again rebooted my phone.
I have a Huawei p20 pro, it doesn't have the file transfer option.. Is there any other way brother? Really need access.
I think P20 has the USB-C display port output function. You should check out the video description and select the link to the Huawei product or check for it in your local stores
@@SmartDepot Ok thanks for the reply.
Bro I have forgotten my password and want to recover my data from phone but i cant unlock it , pls suggest something that how to unlock phone or how can i tranfer my data without unlocking
Is your phone locked with pin or pattern?
@@SmartDepot pin
wait, but the top part of the screen, above the battery symbol, where the face cam is, on my old phone is gone.. ( the part of that screen is broken and cracked off so I can see the insides..) and it is moost certainly not clean.. what do I do? im scared to plug it in
Plug it in and see what happens. It will certainly not explode. If the screen still works, you can quickly get out any important information in it before either replacement of screen or sending it to refuse dump
Thank you very much!
Can you please tell me my tablet screen is broken from inside but i can see everything and touch is not working is can i connect mouse and take out my data
First, it depends on the the Tablet. Does it have OTG functionality? If it has then you can use OTG to connect mouse or keyboard. You can then turn on Bluetooth or WiFi and share files. You can also use USB cable to directly share files
But the phone always asks for file transfer of charging on its screen how do bypass that via laptop.
How, what if it's a pattern lock? Thank you. Nice explanation btw.
You will use mouse 🖱 and drag alongside the pattern but it is always difficult to get the right starting point so you have to try over and over
@@SmartDepot how about with touchpad of laptop? is it possible?
Do i need developer option turned on to used a keyboard or mouse because my screen is working and i dont need any files i just want to be able to go into my email and reset my password thats all and i dont think i have developer options on
What's your device model and OS version? You don't need developer options to use mouse or keyboard but you need it to mirror your screen
thank you very much, you are my hero
Glad I could help
it's worked..!! Thank you So much..!!
You are welcome
Thank u for your message
can I use a regular pc keyboard with the connector cable?
Yes! OTG Adapter
@@SmartDepotMy screen is flashing the what'sapp notification and can't even see the numbers on the screen to enter the pin even if I connect the OTC adapter. Can I swipe up to see the pin screen using the OTG and the keyboard? If so, how?
If your screen's screwed, you can't access dev options, or debug mode, or any of that. This is for people with minor cracks - if your display is actually fucked up, none of this helps.
Yeah, you are right. Check out the video description for part 3 where I dealt with screen that are totally dead
super helpful using my broken phone that i cant see through to connect it to my tv wow
👋
Even after usb debugging, the phone asks for permission to access. I cannot click on allow because of course the screen is broken. Any help?
Samsung s10 plus
You'll need to get the adapters in the video description connect hdmi and mouse and use it to click to always allow
is this going work for B-type USB ?
You mean micro USB?
Yes your explainin' is alright but what about the case when you have a broken screen that gives completely black screen.
It depends on three things:
Your settings before the screen was broken.
Your phone OEM support
And USB-C display port function
@@SmartDepot no the settings are alright and so is the USB c port and I also believe the touchscreen is actually working ! but I can't see what's on the screen therefore I can't even login
What's the device model and OS version?
