Secure folder and broken screen - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey all
Got a Edge with a broken screen and a stack of pics in the secure folder.
Any way of getting these pics back without spending the cost of 150£ for a new screen?
Not bothered about the phone
Cheers

get a $20 MHL adapter, output video to a tv via hdmi and hope your digitizer still works. If the digitizer is broken also, you can connect a usb keyboard to the mhl adapter to control the phone
you can give this a whirl too

Where to find right replacement Mini-B Usb?

Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !
I have mine from www.techcenter.fr
It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)
Looking for a replacement USB port for your Apache or Wizard?

You're looking for "D" in the pic's (Mouser Stock No. 538-67503-1020)
I have purchased them, they fit perfectly!
Good luck
bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.
what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.
I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade
upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!

Worlds most expensive TV stick.. how to?

Hi
I've just had an accident with my Galaxy S4 LTE, which broke it in a major way which completely broke the screen and digitizer as the phone got stuck in a car door slammed shut... really nasty :cyclops:
somehow by some miracle it still works, buttons, speakers, charging and all, just not the screen and I am thinking I will just use it as the most expensive android TV stick there is, with bluetooth keyboard and usb video out but I have one pickle.
right now I have MIUI rom, without USB debugging and broken video out, and I am thinking I need original samsung rom to get the video-out capabilites, but as I do not have a screen on my S4 so I think I would have to make a custom rom with remote desktop and/or usb debugging enabled so I can use my computer to set it up but I don't know how I can do any of that and I'm looking here for pointers and help.
Any suggestions?

Yep, that's a bust but that is not a big surprise for me because I have turned it off, along with usb debugging

[Q] MHL/USB OTG issue

Hi guys, picked up a smart dock over the weekend, gonna try a new project where I get rid of my PC and use my phone for everything, and see how it goes.
Only issue I have is that when connecting the Note 3 to the dock the screen doesn't switch off, and because its only MHL 1.0 it won't charge the phone quicker than it discharges. I got the smart dock after watching a youtube video where the guys screen goes off when the MHL is connected and he says that some do, some don't and he can't find out why or what causes it.
I did find an app that switches the screen off when using MHL but it needs root and my device is only a couple weeks old and I have no insurance, so not ready to trip knox and void my warranty just yet, although if there was a custom rom that handled docking better than stock I probably would just insure it and go for it.
Also, anyone found a dock with MHL 2.0 and USB OTG? Could only find MHL 1.0 when I was looking (want 1080p goodness really lol, MHL 1.0 only seems to go to 720p).
Thanks in advance

S8+ Screen Busted...Need To Recover Data

I have some data inside my Secure Folder and in my regular storage in my S8+, but the screen is busted. (The LCD and digitizer don't work now) Any way to get access into my phone? Connecting it to HDMI shows my phone onto a monitor, but since the digitizer is broken I can't even do that. Unfortunately the USB Debugging was not enabled, and SideSync has not been used on the phone. I have to send it to Samsung for repairs soon, if anyone knows any way...please help!
Buy a dex dock and return it when you saved your data ?
Use the otg adapter that came in the box n hook it to a bluetooth keyboard

Cracked screen - Can't get into secure folder.

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!
