Ok so the screen on my phone is broke I can unlock it with my fingerprint and it responds to touch I just can't see what's going on because the screen is flickering green I can't see anything. Here's what I have

 

S7 edge usb debugging off

that otg usb thing

Fire tv box

smart tv

xbox one 

 

Now I'd just connect my phone to my computer but usb debugging is off. I don't have a m usb to hdmi so I can't connect it to my tv plus I don't think the s7 supports it anymore so is there any other way to mirror the screen with the stuff I already have?

If you didn't break it and the screen was defective, and broke after a few months, then you can go to Samsung's website, go to customer support, and fill in an rma to send it in and get it replaced. Move all of your photos and stuff to your computer, and delete the folders with personal information. Also, remember to remove your sim card before sending it in.

Go to the website and download the app that lets you control your phone from your computer. I can use it with my Note5, I can only assume you can with the S7.

IDK if Android supports this but try using MiraCast. It works by displaying your phone's screen on another screen if your phone and another device is on the same Wi-Fi network.

 

Xbox One supports this but i'm not sure about Galaxy S7 Edge.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Yes Galaxy phones have supported Miracast since the GS3. The trick is getting your phone to connect since you can't see it... What kind of smart tv do you have, and can you find out if it has a "mirroring" or "cast" input mode? If your TV has it I think you can get your phone to hook up pretty easily if you haven't changed your quick settings in the notification bar at all...
