Hi mate. This video is pretty good but it took me forever to find what I needed simply because I have to watch all the video or scroll until you said the name of the software. It would be very useful if you do two things. First one, create chapters so that each chapter matches each app you are describing. Second one, write the full name of the apps/programs next to the links. Cheers and thanks so much for your very useful insight.

Does anyone know if there is a way without having to touch anything on the phone? my phone screen has a dead pixel and doesn't work and was looking to control it from my computer without touching my phone

It's a surprise to find The bioneer in a tech related video, I had no idea

[rkram]

Very informative!!
The most critical need for this is to be able to control phone when the screen is cracked! -- which of these work for that situation? thanks!

Hi, I have some problem about my mobile device (Lenovo K6 Note). My device has touch screen problem, so I cannot key my password for login into device system directly. So please advice me, how can I solve my problem by PC application? Thank you in advance.

Great video.

thank you! tried 3 apps before finding your video and trying vysor. my phone has to be plugged in with a cable, but i dont care, as long as it works. i think my use case is strange because im running an older android 8.1 (lineage) but i finally got it working. it has made my life much easier for my work application. thanks again. oh and i appreciate the chapters, i could skip through the apps i already tried.

AirDroid is my personal favorite...and honestly I believe it's the best. I'm not sure there's a more feature rich option....and AirDroid most definitely works flawlessly.

Next time please left the links of the programs to download to the PC. Also please place the names of the programs inside de Video!!!

I tested remote control with Ubuntu desktop and Samsung phone. It did not work. Reason is, that the phone had to be rooted, which is highly unlikely, that users have done to their Samsung. The rooting procedure itself requires Windows. You might want to mention that in the beginning of the video.

hello twiker
want a softwere which will mirror the phone on pc wifi but without internet connection===possiblee??

[pillisumanth]

SCRCPY is the one to go
just plug and play
no need of any app on mobile

[kerwinfernandes]

Hey, that's a great list for various tasks. Thanks and God bless you and your family always! 😌🙏

My phone screen is all glitched out (Z Flip 4) and the warrenty is expired so I gotta pay to repair.

Is it possible if I buy a USB-C to HDMI + USB to control my phone with a monitor & mouse? I'm considering buying such a gadget, but I don't know if I'd be able to get it to work if the phone's screen is f****ed.

I'd like to do this to make backups of my apps and stuff to send them to another phone. Thankfully at least I was able to retrieve my photos just by plugging it into my PC and unlocking it.

Any advice would be appreciated. I can't really use the things described in the video since my screen is borked, so I would need something plug&play. Samsung support pretty much just said there'S nothing you can do you gotta pay up. Legal scammers. 🙄
