May 19, 20196 yr Wife’s Samsung phone took a pavement dive. Repairing screen and LCD for 2-year old phone looks like more than the phone is worth. She didn’t have the data backed up... any simple way for me to get the picture and videos from the vacation we were on when it happened? I’d hate to have to repair the phone just to get the files.

May 19, 20196 yr Author Should add the phone will turn on and allFunctions work, but can’t access anything, or input access codes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure there are data recovery services that can tap into the onboard storage but who knows how much that costs. Always store pictures and video on a microsd. And have automatic backup with Google photos or something.
May 20, 20196 yr I’m not sure how it is in Android world but you can often plug a keyboard into the phone and input your passcode that way. I actually used a Lightning to Bluetooth adapter to use a BT keyboard to enter my wife’s passcode and recover her photos.
May 22, 20196 yr Author Ended up paying to repair the screen. All the software programs that promised they could access the data cost nearly as much as the repair with no guarantee they would actually work.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
