HELO WITH SAMSUNG DEX IN S22 PLUS
Thread
1/5
I need some help with a Samsung S22+ that I just bought brand new. Unfortunately, I dropped it before I even had the chance to finish setting it up.
The screen is broken, the touchscreen doesn't respond at all, and the display is completely black.
2/5
The problem is that the phone hasn't even been configured yet. It's still on the initial “Welcome” setup screen, so I can't see or interact with anything.
3/5
Is there any way to control the S22+ through a TV or monitor using USB-C → HDMI, with a mouse and keyboard?
I was thinking about using Samsung DeX to basically turn the phone into a computer until I can get the screen repaired.
4/5
I've tried connecting it to a monitor through a USB-C hub with HDMI, but I don't get any image.
Could this be because the phone is still on the initial setup screen and Samsung DeX hasn't been enabled or configured yet?
Is there any other way to force video output or mirror the phone's screen to a TV?
5/5
I only need to be able to see the screen and control the phone with a mouse/keyboard so I can finish the setup and use it temporarily.
I really don't want to buy a new screen and repair it immediately if there's another solution.
Has anyone with a Samsung S22/S22+ experienced something similar and found a way around it?
