Does your Android phone’s screen ever crack, or just die? If it has, you may fear the risk of losing all your precious data including contacts, photos, videos, and significant files. The good news is, it is possible to recover your data from a broken screen Android phone. In this article, we will walk you through how to recover your data and how to secure it.

Check if Your Phone is Still Working

Assuming your screen is shattered and not all of your phone is functional, first take a deep breath. The phone may still register touches, and you should be able to hook it up to other gadgets to retrieve data.

• Try a hard reset: Press and hold the power button for ten to 15 seconds to reboot the phone. If the screen works sometimes, owners can restart the phone and access files.
• Check for audio cues: If the phone still plays sounds (like ringtones or notifications), it’s probably functioning normally even if you can’t see anything.

Use an External Mouse or Keyboard

If the touch screen has stopped working, you can bypass this and navigate your phone with an external mouse or keyboard. Just connect an USB OTG (On-The-Go) cable to your phone and plug a USB mouse / keyboard. Using this method you will be able to use your phone without using the cracked screen.

Then, you can unlock your phone and access your data. Then, you’ll be able to move files or back up your important files to a cloud service or external storage. Get details about Android Repairs Service in Shellharbour.

To recover your data:
