A combination of points 2 and 3 would be a way to actually simulate touch events in a useful manner.There are ways to get screenshots from an Android phone through adb – obviously after all, even the official Eclipse plug-ins provide a screenshot feature.Touch events require the exact screen coordinates as numbers, so as a standalone solution that’s still rather tedious. And the shell has commands to simulate key presses and touch events. adb (the Android Debug Bridge, part of the SDK tools) provides shell access to the phone via USB.
And even they generally require some setup steps before they can be used – back to the start. Those that don’t generally can’t control the touchscreen/mouse. There’s a ton of remote control apps for Android (as was to be expected).What else then? A series of internet searches yielded the following results: Sadly, unlike the Nexus 5 (and the Nexus 1, if I recall correctly), doesn’t. So not only do I now have to decide whether to get a new phone or try to replace the screen myself, I also had to find a way to regain control over the phone so I could backup my data.Ī bluetooth mouse would be one way to control the phone without the touch screen, but I don’t have one – and even if I did, I didn’t have bluetooth turned on (though that could apparently be accomplished through the console).Ī USB keyboard would also be of help if the Nexus 4 had USB Host support. Doesn’t look so bad, but in fact the touch screen is completely dead.
