friend has an at&t galaxy s5. dropped the phone and smashed the screen. the lcd does not work but the phone vibrates and plays the chime when you try to turn it on. also didn't not have an sd card in it. replaced the phone with a note 4 but I'm trying to recover data from the phone. is the any way to recover anything without being able to use the phone screen?
Hi. Hope someone could kindly help me!
My Note 3 is not turning off the lock screen. Its always on!!. If I press the power button the lock screen comes on, after few seconds it quickly flickers (like its trying to close) but turns on again. Its ongoing loop. I have resetted it dozen of times, factory reset now as well but issue remains. I just cant turn the screen off!
It also doesnt want to charge all the time. Is this a USB port issue? I hate to think I need to send it to EE for repairs as its over 1,5 years old and will take at least 2 weeks I think... (cost?)....

Hai,,
Samsung have 2 year warranty within Europe and I dont know outside of Europe, sorry.
But for the phone, if you know that phone havnt been water damaged there shouldn't be any problem, (ALOT) of the Note 3 is water damaged today so be careful with that...same goes if your phone is rooted, could end up paying for the repairs instead.
Phonewise: Broken PBA/powerbutton and a bad USB port..
Hi Im in UK.
However there is absolutely no water damage at all. Its been very well cared for, it looks like brand new including the screen. Thanks

Best would be then to find an authorized samsung service center and either call them and explain your problem or just send the phone to them.
And make sure to have your warranty paper near hand. They might ask for it ://
tried using without a Lockscreen?
I mean selecting None instead of PIN, Password or Swipe

Hi. Yes tried without the lockscreen - same issue. Also with another Lockscreen,,, with no help. The screen just doesnt turn off!
Wonder if its a hardware issue - eg usb port? I tried to clean it the best I can, but doesnt help.
As said Samsung offer a limited 24 months warranty .
But root or custom roms etc will void .
The vendor EE is an alternative but under Sale Of Goods Act you will have to prove that the product should have lasted longer etc via an engineers report .
Hi all
This is what I done. I took the Note 3 to Samsungs repair centre. Shortly: they said they probably need change the usb port and screen and will be done by end of day. No calls nothing. Next day I pop in they say its not been done as there is water damage!!! They show pics of corrosion inside the phone, I believe and leave. They quoted fix it outside warranty to £180.
I go to ebay and bought a new usb port for less than fiver. Changed it today, was 15min job. The phone charges ok I think now, but the screen still not turning off!!! Im gutted.
Interestingly I didnt see any sign of that corrosion when replacing the usb... hmmm... cheeky Samsung repair guys? The phone never seen water, believe me.
Any ideas whats next... I cant afford a new phone or buy new screen.
Thanks
Water damage is part of the repair check list and immediately voids warranty .
Not much you can do if you cannot buy a screen .
Plus water damage may be internal damage and not the screen at all .
I do agree with what you say of course. However I never dropped the phone in water. I did buy the explanation of shower mist or something if the phone was nearby, they showed me pics they took inside of the phone: however when open it up this morning I didnt see any of the corrosion. Have I been tricked or am I blind... :/
okay guys, well i buy and sell cars off auctions and in a land rover i just got i found a galaxy s7 edge in the glove box....me myself i have a galaxy s7 on sprint,,, but this edge is from tmobile, when i turned it on it automatically took me to where you have a blue screen and u sellect a language and so on, then i get to a place where it ask me enter the email it was first used on it...now i have the phone on me and if anyone has doubts of stolen phone and so on i have no problem posting pictures of the IME and so forward just fyi. anyhow i guess maybe someone at the aution planed on keeping it and they must had hit that reset crap and once they saw they got stuck just ditch the phone which by the way has a crack screen and crack back also. if pictures are needed for any reason let me know i will post them like i said i just found it in a purchase at the auction.

Hello a friend has asked if i can repair his Samsung J3, the screen is badly smashed and doesnt work. Ive connected to my laptop via usb data cable to Samsung Kies the Phone doesnt connect remains on "connecting". I cant recover the phone as there is a password on it from a previous connection to a computer. The phone does vibrate when connected to my laptop. Windows detects the phone as a j3 and mass storage device but there is no data on it. My friend said there was photos on it. I can buy a new screen would it be possible to get the phone into recovery mode and flash a stock rom back on it using third party software? Ive been reading the other tutorials on how to do this, ive never worked on Samsungs but ive worked on Nokia and IPhones before.
Thanks in advance.
Do not reset the phone or flash other rom because the data is still there , but invisible because locked screen. Only solution is to get a screen replacement.
Hope I helped you.

Hi guys,
First sorry for english fails. still not perfect.
My phone (A5 2016) just fell a big one, glass is not broken but screen is totally black and untouchable. Phone is working because notifications are coming from social apps.
My phone has my fingerprint lock/password. I can't unlock with my finger cause after reboot phone ask first the password. I know code but can't type.
Service would repair for same price I bought 2 years ago.
Please help me, how I can save my data?
Phone is not rooted, I don't remember debug mode is turned on or not but I think its NOT.
