Well, I went ahead and ordered a multi-port hub like the one in the video above, then got an idea... What if I could navigate the phone by tapping in approximate locations, taking screen shots after each and opening the screenshot folder on the PC to see where I was and what I did... and it...

Oops, looks like you posted about the same time as my last edit... it seems in theory that the switcher should work as a multi-port hub, but the mouse didn't work. I connected my old (working) S9+ to the TV, and had the same problem, but when I swiped down to access settings, etc, there was a...

As for a mouse, what would I plug the mouse into? I have a wireless usb mouse, but of course, with the phone connected to the TV via USB-C>HDMI, there are no available ports... Edit: I connected to a monitor again using my switcher that I use to run keyboard/mouse/monitors on 2 different...

"Dex" did pop up briefly when I unlocked it, and there is a pointer, but nothing I do moves it. The touch pad works, until I get to that point, then nothing.

Got a cable and tried connecting it to both a monitor and a TV; I got past the lock screen, but there isn't a way to navigate or select anything, at least not that I can find... the screen looks different than my phone, and touching the phone doesn't do anything. Ideas?

Just ordered a cable, we'll try the TV/monitor idea.

I have a S20+ (probably v13) that recently went blank after taking a swim... it was presumed dead, but after a few days and a bit of desperation, I was able to get access through my PC by unlocking the touch pattern blind... Now that I'm in, I'd like to recover: Text messages Contacts FastNote...

Mpow Swift; we have both been using the same model for a few years, no such feature that I'm aware of.

No Direct dial widgets, she didn't even know that is. Also, each time it happened, the screen was locked, so no phantom movements (nothing near it to move anyway).

The car doesn't have a BT system. She did have her BT headphones in the car, and I considered that maybe they initiated the calls, however, I was not the last person she called or texted, so that killed that theory.

My wife and I were in the car this morning when my phone, a S8 Active sitting on the dash, starts ringing... I pick it up, and it is my wife calling... except she's not; her S8+ is sitting in the console. She picks it up, unlocks it and cancels the call. We explain it away assuming there had to...

I just updated to Android 8 and now have 2 temperature icons displaying on my AOD from 2 different apps. I don't want to delete any apps, but I obviously don't need the redundancy on the AOD... I can't seem to find a way to turn one off. Anyone know how?

So it turns out that for some reason they omitted "hide contacts without numbers" from the app itself, but if I go through the "phone" app and then open contacts, it is there... There are a lot of similar changes on this phone (compared to my S3 and S5) that don't make much sense. It is also...

I believe that is what she did; she did have me download Smart Switch on the S5 before the transfer. With that said, there has been a new development... I did some digging and discovered that the files that weren't transferred somehow got "linked" to an app on my phone called "Who Are You"...

I recently updated to a S8 Active from my S5 Active, and the girl at the AT&T store transferred my contacts... or so I thought. After I got home, I discovered that most of my contacts were missing; the new phone only showed 23 of the 95 contacts that were (still are) on my old phone. BTW, they...
