Hi there,
I'm really desperate for some help. bit of an odd situation.
In august last year my mum committed suicide, I have recently got her things back and I am trying to access the data on her phone. It is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but the problem I'm having is it has a broken screen, also does not have USB Debugging switched on.
The police claimed they needed all her electricals to check for evidence, which is why they needed to keep it for nearly 4 months, however I dont believe they have in fact even checked the phone.
I really want to be able to access the text messages, so I can see if there was any indication prior to her death.
Please help if you can
Thank you
Milo

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Depending on how badly the screen is broken you might be able to connect a mouse to it via an OTG cable. If that doesn't work the best place to ask this is in > Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, N7105 > Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Experts there may be able to help you.
Good luck

My S4 was origionally rooted and flashed by a guy that will no longer answer my texts or calls. He used DFS CDMA Tool and it has Hyperdrive OS. It crashed on me after downloading a local radion stations app to listen to the music on the 4th of July. I finally got on here researching how to fix it myself because I can't afford to have it done right now because I am in FL with my Dad which is undergoing treatment for lung cancer. Needless to say, I really need my phone and my straight talk phone goes off tomorrow. I have managed to get it off of the android guy screen that said downloading target do not turn off... by holding volume down, home, and power at the same time. Now I have the phone back up and going... but it still is having some issues with different apps having error messages, saying stopped working or whatnot. Also, when I dial *611 it will not let me reactivate the phone, maybe the number has been reassigned? I don't know. But I need help. Can someone please lead me through this. I am a single Mom, and I need my phone badly.
Hi,
Here is a dedicated help thread in your device section,
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 > Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly
Unfortunately there's no quick fixes usually... Usually you'll be given advice and it's up to you to read read read and then do. I suggest you save your money and learn about this stuff, cause trusting others to do it for you could end poorly. These are expensive devices, and knowledge is power for sure. ?
Hope all goes well all around!
Dear all,
I need your help. Well, I plugged my phone Galaxy S2 to a charger which the voltage polarity was reversed manually.
So the phone had a short circuit. Therefore, I replaced the power card which is in the Galaxy and when I plugged it again on the other charger, I found that the phone doesn't start and one component on the mother board of the phone is heating a lot. the component is located just below to the cam.
If any one can help me to have the schematic drawing with also the layout drawing to find what kind of the component is that, so I can buy it.
Other wise, if someone can help me what can I do.
If you need more information I can give you.
The goal is to have my datas while I didn't save them to my pc exceptionally all my contacts.
With best Regards,
Hi,
Sounds like you fried something... And if it won't turn on, I can safely say there is nothing you can do.
For other ideas or to ask about schematics.... A google search may help, or if you let me know your device model number, I can point you to your device section.
Thanks!
The device model is GT-i9100. I didn't find neither the schematic nor the layout drawing on google search!!!
Thank you for helping me.
Best Regars,

I have a non-rooted verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). The display slowly started dying and is totally gone now. No illumination at all. I need to retrieve my data. However, my phone is locked with a PIN. Now what? Without being able to unlock the device I can't just plug it in to my PC and copy over the files. Surely I'm not the only one this has happened to. I don't plan on repairing it unless utterly necessary.

I bought this phone off "off a real nice guy" I told him up front it was for my niece who had recently shattered her Note 3. I have a 5 and couldn't really afford to pay for another. So I bought this Note Edge. Well it was a T Mobile and he said it would work fine with my AT&T Sim? And if I had any problems he'd send me links to put it back to stock? Well would be stock refuse my AT&T Sim also... Either way, here's what's going on. The phone works data, WiFi, calls etc... Idk if all tweaks work? I'm not familiar with this stuff. But after 24hrs. The phone keeps saying it has to restart cuz there is NO Sim. I open it restart and it's fine. But this is annoying every couple hours =( can anyone help me?

So a month and a half ago I found a galaxy s7 in the street, since then I've advertised online and around town and have only got responses from thrives. After waiting long enough I've decided to try unlock it myself as it is blocked by the original owner, I was wondering if there is anyway of resetting it by fast boot commands or any other way ? Please help, shame to let such a good phone go to waste.
