    Hello, broke the screen on my Galaxy S4, and USB debugging is not enabled (trying to emulate the screen on PC).

    I have a keyboard, which can control the phone, but I need to know what to press to enable debugging.

    What I can do is get into settings as the top of the screen is not broke, so I pull down the top and select the settings symbol.

    Can anyone tell me the keyboard actions from there to enable USB debugging, cheers.

    I don't have an s4 but do you have the option to mirror the screen to a chromecast in the pull down settings?

    The screen is black, or just non functional? If you can still see things on the screen, why not just plug in a mouse using USB OTG?

    Black and not functional, just have OTG keyboard and only the top bit of the screen is working.

    Okay so I got debugging activated by using screenshots to navigate.

    But now the problem is letting the phone authorise my PC.

    As in the screenshot below, the dialogue only comes up when the phone is connected via USB to the PC, but I can't select it with a broken screen, and the dialogue will disappear when I plug in the keyboard....
