Hey all.
Earlier today I dropped my phone and the screen cracked. The screen is unresponsive, but the phone still works (the device is recognised by my laptop when I plug it with the USB cable, I am still receiving email/facebook/texts notifications, etc.).
Since it's going to be a while until I get it repaired, I'm looking for a way to access or import to my laptop the notes I had on Google Keep, as I need them for my work.
Is there any way I can access those notes using my laptop?
Thanks!
https://keep.google.com/
Already tried that, for some reason they weren't synced and I can't see any of them there...
Can I access them through any system files on my laptop?

Hello
Bought XDA mini s from 02 yesterday. Installed the softrware that came with the mini s.
Active sync installed, plug the usb cable to laptop and to phone and nothing happens. Laptop showing the device is installed and detected but no connection made to the active sync. The active sync icon just keeps on spinning and nothing happens.
So, uninstall and reinstall active sync (a number of times) and doesnt work. Installed the new version 4.1 from microsoft website (link provided on one of the thread here) and that didnt work either.
Getting really frustrated as I have tried everything, reboot laptop, pluggin usb cable to different usb ports on the laptop, switching phone off and on, etc.
Please help.
Andy

Thanks a lot for the link, will take a look later.
First read is that it may be affected by my trendmicro software.
Will post how i get on later.
Cheers

Finally, after updating my virus software to allow active sync going through its 'path' the thing finally works. Thanks Carmi!
2 question:
1. after sync'd with phone, it has become very slow and crashes all the time i change program or something. why?
2. i have over 200 contacts on outlook, they dont seem to have sync'd over to the phone. any idea why. I only have whats on my sim card?
Thanks
Andy
did you mark to sync contact (on the PC)?
if yes - add a contact on the device - after Sync check if Outlook (on PC) have it?
You done it again, Carmi. It is working well now.
Cheers

I glad to hear that
I've ran a backup in recovery mode and am trying to get the backup onto my laptop, in order to restore it to another phone.
The problem I'm having is that the phone is set to connect as a camera when connected via the USB cable, so iPhoto opens when I connect the phone. I actually need a file system browser to open, however the screen on the phone is cracked and it's no longer possible to navigate menu items using the screen, and so I can't change how the phone connects when plugged in via USB.
suggestions?
Cheers

This isn't going to help much (sorry )
but when I was trying to open the file explorer on my PC it wouldn't do it unless Debugging was turned off. And when it was turned on only the camera photo sharing option would work. So for me to get on my phones storage via PC, I had to turn debugging off. Idk if you have it on, but if that is the problem... hate to say it, but you're kinda ****ed. Hope someone will give u a useful answer :/
at least this comment will be a bump
I could be completely wrong though...
Hi
I dropped my phone and the touch screen is not working anymore. I cannot unlock the device.
Is there a way to get my contacts from the phone.
Even though I had synced my phone with gmail, my phone contacts do not appear in google contacts. (on gmail).
I can get my photos and stuff by connecting the phone via usb.
Thanks

If your screen still shows all you have to do is get a micro USM adapter that allows you to connect a mouse and use that to control your screen. I hope this helps. You should also invest in software that allows you on a regular basis back up your files to your pc. one suggestion is wondershare.
I hope this helps you

Hi
Thanks for the reply. However I read that Nexus 4 does not support OTG functionality.
Would the method you suggest still work?
Thanks

Yes it will I have done so in the past.... You might consider buying a new LCD/Digitizer with Frame and install it.. It's quite easy. There is a wonderful YouTube video by LE55ONS that shows you everything in detail and very easy to follow. I have done it many times
I hope that helps
I dropped my 2 month old S8 yesterday and cracked the screen. Only the lower 25% of the digitizer works now, so I can't get into the secure folder. I would like to move the contents to an unsecured folder, so I can copy to a PC before sending it in to Samsung for the screen replacement. My secure folder is not backed up anywhere. Will Samsung wipe the phone while it's in for repair? Is there any way they can get into my secure folder? Am I screwed?
You can try connecting an external pointing device to your device in some way, if you manage to connect an external pointing device like a mouse, you can use the phone without the touch screen.

Interesting. Let me see if I can rig something up to work.
I was able to pair a Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard with a trackpoint and it worked perfectly. Thanks again! Going to suck to be without my S8 for 2 weeks!
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 which boots up normaly but the screen is not starting at all. It felt down to the floor, and the screen is not starting.
I can here all sounds during boot up and if I press the Main button, I can see that back and menu buttons get litghed. Also can receive calls, etc... so it works fine.
At this point, I am not sure if touch screen is also damaged or not...
1. My first attempt was to use Kies. It detects the phone perfectly but it says I have to change connection to MTP. No way to do it as I cannot see anything on the screen.
2. Second attemp. I have bougth a microusb HUB to connect a HDMI cable to my TV and also a mouse, but my tv is not detecting any signal in the HDMI port. (usb powered as well).
3. USB debugging is not activated in the phone, so I think I cannot retrieve any data by using ADB.
I could copy all pictures to my pc, as when I connect the phone to my laptop, it detects multimedia files and I could copy.
Contacts are not sync with Google but stored in the phone, so is there any way to get all contacts somehow?
I hope you can help me.
Thanks
Javier
Without replacing the screen, there's no way I know of to get the contact information off the device, given that you already tried casting the screen to your television.
