Recover data - Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, i have a problem, hope someone could help.
I have an A600FN with a broken screen, if i turn it on the screen stays off but i can hear it vibrate and the computer is detecting it, but i have a pattern to protect access to my data so i can't see my photos (which i want to recover), and can't use the touch cause is not working either...
I need to recover at least my pictures cause i used it for work...Any ideas?
I don't care about repair it cause i already have another smartphone for work now and don't really wish to spend money if not necessary.

No light on my HTC

First I want to say hello to everybody because this is my first thread.
I found a lot of solutions for my problems on this forum but I can not find solution for brand new problem that appeared yesterday. The thing is that my phone fall out from my pocket and now I do not have any picture and light anymore. I can turn on phone, synchronize with my laptop but no flashing light on buttons and no picture. The LCD seems OK (no scratch or visible sign that is broken).
Does anybody know what is wrong or what can I check? Phone has no warranty anymore.
try and get the help from general options.
if you cant get this fixed.. please let me know..
i am badly in need of dead Touch diamonds..
we are working on a college project....
please be kind
I managed to repair it. I opened it, put all together and it works now. I think that one (or both) connectors on the back side of main board lost connection when the phone fall on the floor. So lucky me, I have a working phone.
Sorry asnaveenkumar, now it works.

[Q] ATIV S

So long story short, a failed repair on my screen at some repair store broke my AMOLED. So i was wondering if anyone is willing to sell or donate their ATIV S to me. I am in urgent need of one as I am unable to retrieve my crucial data as my phone is password-locked and if I plug it in, I cannot browse the files unless I unlock the screen which I cannot do. Please help.
You can't unlock by guessing the button locations? I mean, I've literally unlocked my phone left-handed (I'm right-handed) without looking at it. Maybe I just type that particular sequence more than most people...
Sorry to hear about the bogus repair. That really sucks...

The problem is the touchscreen isn't working. I can't even tap the screen. I need to retrieve my word documents, excel sheets and powerpoint slides and my photos which I was dumb enough not to enable auto-backup (other storage will rack up if you enable them). Getting REALLY desperate now.
Yeah thanks, those annoying ****s closed down. Don't know where they are and may never will.

Accessing Information from a Broken Device

Hey everyone.
So I've got a question that I'm hoping you guys / girls can help me with.
I have this old Lumia 520 that fell to its inevitable demise in 2014. The digitizer is cracked and unresponsive, but the screen itself powers on fine and isn't damaged from what I can tell. I saved what I could from the SD card I had in it, but there was still a lot of photos that I wanted that was stored on the device's local storage.
Here's the thing though, I cannot access it from my PC via USB cable unless the screen is unlocked, and I can't unlock it because the touch panel is broken! And so the phone has been laying in a drawer ever since.
Is there any workaround to this? Some way that I might be able to save these long-lost pictures? I really have no interest in repairing the phone. If I can get the photos off it I'll probably just throw it away, as I have a way better device now anyway.
Cheers! :good:

password lock will reset phone

tried to google for a solution, but found nothing. Here is the problem my sister autistic son dropped her galaxy s6 phone and somewhat broke the screen. he tried to unlock the phone but it would not register now the counter is on the 14 try and if one more attempt is made it will reset the device. Now my sister has no knowledge of where the memory was so she attempted to open the phone to retrieve the memory card (yea I know it doesnt have one, but she didnt) not only did she totally screw up the lcd ,charge port and everything else. When she brought it to me I had to ask her did you use a hammer to open it up . So now I managed to buy a used lcd and connected her motherboard on it. To my surprise it turned on but it is saying it will take 869 minutes before another attempt can be made to unlock it. My question is there any way I can retrieve her pictures and files. Connected the phone to the computer but it will not show any files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. She has alot of pictures of her son and daughter she does not want to loose.

If the computer won't recognize the device then maybe try having the photos upload to drop box or Google Drive or something.

Recover Data - Smashed screen

Hello all.
My girlfriend dropped her S10, and the screen has smashed. The top ~20% of the screen is visible still, but the rest doesn't work. The screen is responsive some of the time - but hard to tell where I'm hitting anything... and becoming increasingly difficult to unlock (Might be locked out for ___ minutes? Can't tell!)
She's gotten a new phone as the cost of a new screen was prohibitive... but I'm trying to recover the data (photos) from the phone and not having much luck. Plugging in the USB, I'm unable to allow the access to the storage....
I've done a quick google search and have found plenty of 'free download' options (which you have to pay to use of course) to recover data.... is there any actual free tool anyone can point me to in order to get her photos off of the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Hello nogoodname, try with USB adapter on usb-c with a mouse you should see the cursor is able to navigate.
If not as USB debugging not activated try with recuva or samsung dex

You will hardly be able to bring it back. I have everything that matters to me and on PC. In the case of something, I switch everything from PC to the phone. I am writing to you that from now you everything that is important to you, you save for PC.

That's a good shout. I did actually manage to download Google Home .. then managed to cast the screen to my Nest Hub. Then I was able to see where I was touching and managed to allow access to the PC. Photos copied over successfully.
recuva / Dex...... I'll look into these to see if anything else wanted off the phone! Thank you!

Yeah... It's not my phone. All my stuff is backed up automatically. My girlfriend has learned a valuable lesson though!
