ADB shell command to refresh android phone screen

2k views Asked by At

I modified android phone hdmi output properties using ADB commands below

adb shell setprop persist.demo.rotationlock false
adb shell setprop persist.demo.singledisplay true

In order to see the change, I will have to do either one of the following.

  • turn off phone screen, then turn on phone screen.
  • restart the phone or tv
  • unplug the phone to monitor, then plug the phone to monitor.

What I want: Is there any command to do a quick reload/reset/refresh phone screen or video output connection? so I don't have to do any of the above to see the change.

Any help is appreciated

  • To "turn off phone screen, then turn on phone screen":

    adb shell input keyevent 26

    Run the above command twice. 26 is the keyevent code for power button.

  • To "restart phone":

    adb reboot
