hi
my phone fell down yesterday
the screen has cracks and the display is black
the touch is still working but I cant see what I'm pressing
is there a way for me to backup my data (images, contacts etc.)?
Thanks
You need to link up to your PC.
Blind navigation is very difficult but not impossible. Hopefully you already have it set to link up to your PC.
Get some screen shots of your model doing the steps you need to do and use them to help navigate the blackness.
Always redundantly backup critical data...

If you can't do that already... I sincerely doubt you can recover the data.
A data recovery service may be able to.
well this is not really helpful...
anyone else?

I think you fail to understand the extent of your issues. That's a plural too...
Try hooking it up to the PC. The Android will probably have a pop up asking you if you wish to connect. You need to punch that.
-If- it shows on the PC you're good to go...

do I did and fired adb but it says the device is unauthorized...
Since I cant really see the screen - I cant enable usb debugging
I cant see if my android is popping up a message as the display is all back (as the title of the thread say)

You need to guess the popups position. Keep doing it until it connects.
Use a online screenshot of that model with that popup as a template and guesstimate.

How can I see a list of installed programs (and potentially remove them) even those in the ROM?
I installed that SD Mount fix application, but I see no icon for it, and it doesn't seem to work... I did power down my phone and restart it.
Task manager? Is there one without installing it? I know there is one that's suppose to be bound to a hardware key, but we can't get to it...
Sorry I'm a noob... any good sites for learning about android?
I found in Settings the app list...
But still, SD Share is installed but I have no icon for it anywhere that I can find. Can anyone help?

Where is that? lol, totally new to android...
Found it, added it. Clicked on it. Reconnected, waited. Still no damn accessible drive on my PC... Is Windows 7 causing the issue? Maybe the face I installed the Google USB v3 driver?
Spoke too soon, it finally showed up... Thanks... I'm retarded.

Hi everyone, still having some issues. I hope you can help...
First of all, I seem to be stuck in airplane mode. WHen I got to settings wireless controls it's not checked, but long hold down the red key shows it's on. I have no airplane mode icon in the top portion of my screen.
Secondly, and this is how it got started, the Facebook application wouldn't upload a picture... it went to 80% the first time I tried it, then I killed it, and tried again and never got passed 0%. It was at this point I decided to try to turn off and back on the data and got stuck in the mode I'm in...
Should I upgrade to 3.42.50 radio, I'm on .30. Using Alltel phone on VZW network...

Using the ROMUpdateUtility... I said f'it though and flashed the Bell ROM that had it included, didn't let customizations run then flashed back to Android...
I really can't decide between the two common resolutions... Does everything work correctly in the lower one, maybe a bit of clipping and it's clearer? Hard to decide...

your internet probably wont work in android cause you have to let it provision in wm first. 240x320 looks crystal clear but nothing fits right. 320x480 is a tad fuzzy but its not that bad. plus everything fits right. 320x428 is right in the middle. its pretty clear but most of the stuff fit. i use 320x480 cause i cant stand the fact that nothing fits in the other resolutions
My internet is working fine...I'm curious if I'm getting RevA EVDO though, it seems a bit slower than it was in WinMo...
Do I need to setup an APN? I noticed the two listed are TMobile and Tellus... Maybe this would speed up my internet? Anyone know?
My Windows Mobile was setup on alltel... [email protected] or whatever...
I tried to Google Alltel APN setup and came up blank...
Hello, after doing more research, I read that CDMA carriers don't require APN settings. Is this true? Should I just delete out all the APNs in the Settings on my Touch (Alltel/Verizon)?
Also, can someone tell me about the network operators screen? Do I ever need to use it. When I go into it, it says 'Searching...' but never completes. I have to back out.

Hi,
I broke the screen of my samsung note a while back. The glass is okay, it is the inner screen which is showing a little crack when looked at from an angle. The day it broke i was able to see the screen but after 1 day the screen has become completely black. I am not in my home country and hence can not get the screen repaired, and need some of the files from phone really badly. The trouble is I can not unlock the phone, as i am not sure of what is happening on screen.
I tried to recover data but the phone is locked. If i can either turn on the wifi or 3G of my device by some way ( then I can excess the samsungdive application and unlock my phone) or if I can bypass the pattern somehow or can enter it via pc ( like in know there exist some screen monitoring applications for android 2.0 and below) i can enter inside the phone. I have been trying a lot of stuff and I dnt want to blindly reset my phone ( i think if i reset it I should be able to unlock it). Is there any other option anyone can suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I do not think you can unlock via samsungdive if your phone is not connected to internet. Since my phone is not connected to internet i can not do that via samsungdive.

Sorry for not giving full information in last post.
When I connect the phone via usb. It comes as a media device in pc. But when i try to import files or anything it shows nothing available. Also in Samsung kies it comes up as connected but locked. It tells to unlock the device.

I just had the jelly bean update on note. So I am running the default Rom and Kernel ( which should be there after official update). Though I am not that aware about this information.

wasnt your data (2G or 3G) already on? if the data was already on and if you restart the computer it still remains on, moreover there is no harm in trying to unlock from samsungdive. i have lot of ideas coming to my mind but dont know if they would make any sense or may be there is a simple way to do it but i cant think of it.
Hi,
I've bought today a Lumia 930. But there is very serious problem with it... I can't connect to the Onedrive. It shows me, that I haven't internet connection and try again later.
I tried to do some hard/factory resets and login with three different microsoft accounts, but it doesn't work.
See some pictures please in attachment.
And one more thing with my broken 930... I can't do backup - "Wystąpił błąd, prosze spróbować ponownie" means in my language: "An Error occured. Please try again later".
Is it some kind of serious software bug, which I can only fight with warranty?
Could you try to help me, please?
Greetings,
Peter.

Hey, of course yes. I should be an idiot to post on XDA, when my WiFi simply doesn't work.
It's problem only with Onedrive and backup copy.
Now, I'm trying to do a recover via "Nokia Software Recovery Tool". It's very last chance for this phone in my opinion.
Greetings,
Peter.
EDIT: This method doesn't work for me. Onedrive error is still there.

Of course I've verified. From windows7 and from another Lumia (520 exactly). It's very serious problem, because this Onedrive and backup are key feature in WP 8.1
I suggest then, that you take it back to the store and swap it for another, and check OneDrive before you leave. I bought a 930 at the weekend, and OneDrive works just fine for me, so it's not a problem with the OS.
With such a new unit, it's probably not worth wasting time trying to debug it... Just swap it.

Hi guys
as you can see in the attached file, i have a litte issue
a friend of mine dropped the phone and a car runned over it lol...digitizer and lcd are gone but the phone still boot up and it is recognized by the computer. My friend don't care about repairs but he wants the data back and here starts the problems:
-adb is off
-phone is password protected (so no kies and no sdcard reading from pc), phone stay in the "insert password" at startup.
-i don't even know if support mhl to attach on a tv
how can i recover the data? The only idea i have is to dump the rom and load it on an android emulator but i don't even know if its possible. Can someone give me a hint to recover the data? Thank you
1) Buy a replacement screen
2) Get the data
3) Sell fully working phone
...
Profit!
that was my idea...my friend do not approve

Did you try the S-pen to input the password?
i can't get a precise feedback. I think i'm not pressing the correct numbers and after half hour of wasting time i was looking for other options. Does this phone support mhl? If yes, i have to enable in settings or something else?

I dont know qbout mhl, never used it. The phone does support it though.
Another idea might be a usb-otg cable and a keyboard(password entry).
Not sure if that works on a stock rom, but try it.
Unfortunately i dropped phone today and screen broken. It is so bad that I cant see anything on phone but phone is working since i can receive phone using headset.
I wanted to take backup but dont know what tool can help me to do it. Please can someone help me to get my data backed to PC.
BTW what would be cost of new display.
Screen Broken - Cant Use - How do I export data?
What an amazing mobile the ROG 2 is.
No complaints really. Though I did drop it and the screen is broken so I am sending it off for a repair (if possible).
I cant use the screen at all, and they told me that the data needs to be wiped before its sent (or they will wipe it anyway).
Any idea how to get data off it, like contacts etc without using the screen?
Thank you all.
Your contacts should sync to your Google account. Go to contacts.google.com to verify they have already synced.

Use an otg dongle and connect a mouse to the phone, you should be able to click like touch.

I think I am right in assuming that i need to give permission on my ROG to allow screen mirroring on a monitor. But of course I cant do that as I dont have access to the screen.
Am I right or is there a workaround?
Thanks

If you have allowed adb before, you can use adb pull command to copy files to a computer.
Changing the screen wont require data reset, I dont know why they are insisting on wiping the data!
you can also try this and see if it works: connect the phone to a pc and when the phone asks for permission, have a mouse connected to the phone and click the place that the allow button is most probably is.(it's on bottom right corner about a centimeter up and left) if you're set to English that is.
but you have to be able to unlock the screen before that somehow. maybe the fingerprint still works?
And my last option would be to get the screen replacement yourself and do it yourself if the data really matters to you. getting the broken screen off the phone shouldnt be much of problem because it's already broken so what could go wrong right?
and you will just have to apply the new screen with care and proper glue that you can get from a phone shop.
Sure you have fixed by now but incase or if anyone else lands here, You can use USB C TO HDMI (Cable,dongle,etc) and hook it to computer screen,TV. I had adapter and hooked a mouse to navigate. Though very poorly, I could still use touch screen
