I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet, now the screen won't turn on but the phone works when someone calls me, I click right where the answer button is and it works.
MY PHONE IS SAMSUNG GALAXY J5(2016) SM-J510FN, RUNNING ANDROID 7.1.1
My question is; Is there anyway I can see my phone's screen on my laptop, like mobizen or anything, without doing any configuration on my phone.
I have some important files and documents on my phone I need to get them, when I connect the phone to laptop I have to click allow access to storage but now I can't do that ...
Please any help would be appreciated

Hi
I have a broken Galaxy 3 phone where the screen suddenly stopped functioning with a total blackout so I can't use the phone at all. There is no problem getting the phone fixed within a couple of days but the problem is I want to save all my messages, contacts and other data, especially one conversation text message thread that has gone on for about a year, to my pc. I want the information to be able to be viewed independently on my computer like I read emails etc. and then I can store it on a portable hard drive by copy and paste. Samsung kies doesn't seem to allow for this. I can back up the phone apparently but the info can only be read by another similar phone so it is restricting how you see your own information. I want the information on my computer without the need of another similar phone because what if I decide to buy a totally different phone that has software that's not compatible. The shop representing Samsung who will fix the phone said that everything gets wiped and they won't even have Kies on their computers because they think its unstable software. Ideally it would be great if there was some kind of software for my computer that enabled it to read all the info on the phone as if the phone was a flash drive connected by USB and then I could simply copy and paste across from phone to computer. The phone is recognised by the computer through the USB but obviously it can't read inside the folders on the phone which just show as empty. Anybody know of anything to get the results I want? Thanks.

Galaxy 3 broken screen
[
Sorry I tried to use these but I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. Both suggestions are completely foreign to me.
Hi,,,
I recently broke my Galaxy S4 screen and its not responsive anymore. It doesn't work and doesnt show anything. Blank screen.
I bought a new Oneplus One and I want to transfer all my data from my old phone. Contacts were 30% saved to the device and 20% were to my sim card and the rest were on my Samsung account so its a bit messy. I dont have an SD card so everything is on the internal storage for my phone. I also would like to transfer my apps cache data.. like whatsapp's groups and contact's chat history.
I never hooked my phone up to my PC so my PC doesnt recognize it when I connect it. I don't really want to fix my screen for 100$ in order to transfer all my stuff to my new phone I also cannot unlock my screen cause the screen doesn't work, I do know the pattern though. just saying
So I cant back up using the USB hub, neither can I do anything to the phone because the screen doesn't work and is blank. Is there anyway I can "bypass" the lock screen and force the phone to connect to the PC in order to transfer my stuff to my new phone?
Please help

Hi everyone
This morning my Galaxy Note III fell on the floor and ever since its display seems completely broken (its not split or anything, but it remains black after restart and its impossible to unlock it as the touch screen doesn't respond anymore). I already have a new phone but the problem is that I want to save all data like pictures and whatsapp histories not being on the SD card. I tried to connect with ADB but it keeps saying that the device is not authorized. Usually one needs to confirm on the Galaxy when connecting with ADB. But know, as the touchscreen seems dead, thats not an option anymore :-/
The phone seems still perfectly operable otherwise.
Is the any chance to access the phone??
Best regards
Samuel
I already tried to connect an external mice using USB OTG. It seems to work, at least the lights beam up, when I move the mouse around.
Unfortunately, I do not get any feedback on whether the phone is unlocked or not and of course, I don't see the curser as the screen is black :-/
I dropped my s3 and now it has a very thin crack on it. First I was able to see some colours but now it is only black - touch screen gave no response aswell. I was also lucky enough to get the battery out on the initial drop so now all I can do is turn the phone on with or without simcard and let it connect to Wi-Fi. There were no SD Cards aswell.
The phone is not rooted, it is just "stock" in every way.
Getting it repaired costs more than what I paid for it while buying it from a friend years ago so I'm not even considering to get it repaired, I will buy a new smart phone, probably a Galaxy Note 4 or 5. (I'm not sure but this info might be useful. My smart phone knowledge is not much but may be there is a way to fix my issue(that I am explaining below) with the use of a Galaxy Note - without disintegrating the new Note)
My problem is that I need to retrieve a phone number that I didn't have the chance to save yet at the time of the drop. The number is probably one of the latest 5 in Call History and there was also an SMS that came from that number - that specific SMS was saved on the phone, not the simcard.
Absolutely nothing happens on computer side(Windows 7 Ultimate) when I plug it via USB. Can't see the content of the phone in File Explorer or anything else. I updated drivers. The phone starts charging, though.
Samsung Kies does not work as it does not recognize the phone when connected via USB and I need to scan the QR Code to connect it via Wi-Fi which is impossible since I can not give any commands to the phone nor see anything but a black screen.
I have this Samsung Link program. It recognizes the phone through Wi-Fi and I can browse files in the phone from my computer. I checked all files, there is nothing SMS or Call History related. On my web searches, I found out that SMS messages are stored in "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databeses/mmssms.db" but there are no such folders that start with "com.android.providers".
I did not have debugging or other things active at the time and I can not turn anything on or off. It only has Wi-Fi enabled.
I can't even turn the phone off except for pulling the battery out since I need to touch the shut down option that comes in the menu when you hold the power button on the side.
Is there a way to view my Call History or SMS messages from my computer? Please bear in mind that I can not install any apps or give any commands at all to my phone by the use of its screen and it is not recognized by the computer when it is connected via USB.
Most success I've had is the program called Samsung Link that allows my computer to connect to the phone by Wi-Fi and browse files, pictures, videos and such. (Also I did another check for both USB and Wi-Fi connections while typing these. USB still does not work)
I do not have access to another phone to swap screens-motherboards-whatnot.
Kind regards.

You won't be able to view the stuff you're looking for with a file manager on PC, Windows can only view the MTP portion of your sdcard, it cant access or view your system partition which is where mmssms.db is located. You will need to have the device rooted in order to retrieve the files you're after.
You can connect a USB mouse to your device and make selections using the mouse instead of touch, the tricky part is knowing where things are on the display to select them, you can use screenshots of the needed screens from another device like yours. If you can get it to connect to PC via VLC you can share the screen to your PC and navigate that way(you'll need root to access the folder you're after), if you can get it to screencast you can navigate that way also.
Regardless of whether you repair the screen or not, you will have to root the device to do what you're doing.

You can also try flashing a custom recovery(CWM if you can get it, what I'm talking about might not work with TWRP and if it did it would still be tricky). CWM can be used by the hardware keys to make selections where TWRP is touch which wouldn't work for you. With a CWM custom recovery you could make a backup of the device then copy the backup over to PC then extract everything you need. You could even root and flash TWRP then boot to TWRP and connect to adb and use adb to create a backup, there are instructions that are easy to find for creating backups with adb, just make sure you understand the instructions so that you're sure you're retrieving everything you need. Then extract what you need from the adb backup.
Maybe easier but more time consuming, contact your service provider and have them send you a copy of your call history, it should all the numbers you've called during the period of time that you ask them for.

I have a Galaxy s6 edge+ with Verizon that the screen went out on me. It still works fine, I can unlock it and hear the volume changing, but can't see anything at all, total black screen. I went and already got myself a s7, but all my contacts, pictures/videos, music and messages are on my s6. I didn't have anything backed up to the cloud, and can't get anything off of it. Is there anyway to get all my stuff off of the s6 on to a computer? If I knew the phone well enough I could just turn file transfer on from the nonfiction bar and be good.
Is there anyway to get everything off of it?
Suppose your phone is faulty, but you want to transfer files to another phone. In that case, you have no choice but to go to the raid data recovery service because only their specialists will help you. I recently had a similar situation, but the screen didn't work there with a laptop either. Still, I had to move all the files to my computer because there were files on my studies and work. My friends advised me to contact the data recovery service, and I did so because I had no other choice. I advise you to do the same, my friend. I hope my advice will help you.
