cracked screen - touch not working - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
as per title the screen on my z1 is cracked (dropped) and the touch screen is not working, phone boots and hardware buttons work.
I need to get my photos/videos off the phone, but as I cant use the touch screen I cant press to allow USB connection on the phone.
Any thoughts on how to mount internal storage?

Diamond cannot startup past windows screen

Hi
I was trying out some of the samsung today plugins when my device froze(if i touched the screen or the hardware buttons it would still make a noise). I reset my diamond, it started up I then put my password in clicked unlock and now my diamond wont boot past the windows green splash screen. If I push the power button off then on again I end up in the same situation as before(if i touched the screen or the hardware buttons it would still make a noise and the wheel would light up).
Can someone please help me to fix this problem. I hope there is another way than a hard reset as I would not like to lose my programs and data on the 4gb memory.
Thank You
Can anyone help?
just found something else. when my diamond wont go any further and I plug it into my pc it comes up as mass storage. Ive tried pressing the touch screen to try get it into active sync but it will not work. I also discovered if i hold down the power button to turn the diamond off the warning box comes up. This is getting very weird. Is there a way to make the phone go into active sync mode?
From previous experience if it won't go past the boot screen and a soft reset hasn't helped it will be a hard reset. The good news is that all information on the internal storage drive will be safe and not removed.
Good Luck

Galaxy note broken screen but need data on phone

Right well the story goes, i got hit by a car 2 days ago and my galaxy note screen is smashed, the screen is completely black and unresponsive to touch i think ( as the menu and the back button light up when i press the home button. I cant seem to unlock the phone. Also when connecting to Kies it just stay on "connecting" but never actually connects, there's pictures and music and important work docs on there, especially all my contacts.
So is there any way i can get onto the phone and access all the data and get it ?
* The phone is in camera mode for some reasons when it connects via USB*

My suggestion would be to reboot to recovery and try to mount storage from there using hardware keys to navigate. This is risky though seeing as how you can't see what is on the screen but if you know the exact version of CWM it shouldn't be too hard to do, especially if you can get someone else to guide you through using their device as a reference point.

HELP! Another broken screen dilema.

I have an Xperia Z with a completely knackered screen, no display at all. Is there any way I can get the personal data off this phone? It has the pattern screen lock so the USB otg option is a no go. Can I restore without deleting the data?
The phone has taken a beating, the back and casing is also damaged so I couldn't guarantee changing the screen would work although it seems to function normally. Shuts down with power button and vol up with 3 vibrations and starts again ok, can access it via PC but not any of the data due to the lock screen.
What are the option for data recovery if the phone is dismantled to access the storage?

If you can access cwm, backup the phone with it, connect phone to a computer. Copy the backup to pc, and do system restore with pcc or sus.
Btw, wrong section
No CWM

Well, that sucks. Try booting the device up normal and just install cwm, else just clear the phone....Data is just data.
have you tried android explorer
its file manager for pc ad you can access phone memory
not sure if it will work but its worth a try

Factory reset and/or reflash firmware with rsd lite
If device is not rooted factory reset should work.
Or
There are some apps like lightflow that may help

Thanks a lot
Lightflow is for notifications?
I was referring to the backlight.
I think that it's a HW problem, poor connection between the screen and qwerty or something similar. I put a little carton between the keyboard and the screen and the lights on...
Hi again
My screen doesn't work anymore.
I dont know what happened with my phone, i think that in a reboot it entered to safestrap or other option and doesn't boot.
When I press vol keys, my D4 vibrates.
My pc shows 2 disk but I can't see the data (maybe it's unmount?).
I can't see the device via ADB.
PD: Fortunately, previously I made a backup of memory (8 GB) ... but I wanted made a full backup with safestrap D:

Your LCD or flex cable likely failed, fairly common with slide out droids
both can be replaced
you need to unlock you screen to see data on drives
Likely the Digitizer is still working, just need to guess where the unlock is
