Hi guys. Just wondered if anyone has come across an OTG with USB and HDMI on it without it costing the earth? More for diagnosis/data transfer scenarios from an admin perspective.
We get through a bunch of Android handsets with cracked screens where they'll just be 'dead'/black screens and you can hear the phone still 'active' behind, ringing, notifications etc. Repairs are getting more and more expensive (£200+) so recently we've just replaced them with new rather than repair. With a pattern unlock on most handsets, Android will not allow Smartswitch/Kies to connect to a handset for recovering/backing up/transferring data for users between handsets. So we've gone the avenue of having everything sync to Google/Samsung accounts on them, but it's not perfect (without massive data requirements) when it comes to all the media on them.
I've used OTG's for USB or HDMI, but just need a device which will do both (so I can plug a mouse in to unlock the pattern while viewing on HMDI). I understand this is heading into the realms of phone shops/data recovery, but it's quite a basic device requirement for administrators with modern smartphones. Or certainly those with fragile screens, like the ones we seem to be using (or more accurately how careless our users are with them!)
My drawer is getting quite full of Samsung J5/J6/A5/A40's. So would be also handy to wipe them and send away for recycling!
