usb debugging problem why other methods fail if you ve already done some frantic searching you may have seen recommendations for technical tools that let you mirror your phone on a computer however most of these free remote control tools like the popular scrcpy share a critical prerequisite they require a setting called usb debugging to be turned on before your screen breaks usb debugging is a developer level feature that allows a computer to communicate with an android device on a deep level for security reasons this setting is turned off by default on every android phone unless you are a developer or have specifically enabled it for some reason in the past it s almost certain that yours is off trying to enable it with a non working screen is a classic catch 22 you can t tap the screen

your computer s mouse and keyboard to take full control use the mouse to enter your password or unlock pattern once inside you can manually navigate to your files to perform a backup or use dr fone s built in data recovery functions to seamlessly extract photos videos contacts messages and more directly to your computer for safekeeping try it free try it free safe secure alternative methods for different scenarios if the dr fone method isn t for you or if your situation is slightly different for example the screen is completely black these alternative methods are absolutely worth trying they range from a simple hardware trick to using manufacturer specific cloud services method 2 the hardware trick use a usb otg adapter mouse sometimes the simplest solution is the most elegant a usb otg on the go adapter is a small inexpensive dongle that can be a true lifesaver these adapters typically have a usb c or micro usb connector on one end to plug into your phone and a standard usb a port on the other this allows you to connect standard usb peripherals like a keyboard or most importantly a mouse directly to your phone what you need a usb otg adapter that matches your phone s charging port and a standard wired or wireless usb mouse these adapters are widely available online and in electronics stores for just a few dollars how it works this method is perfect if your phone s display is still visible but the touchscreen digitizer is completely unresponsive plug the otg adapter into your phone and then plug the usb mouse into the adapter within seconds a mouse cursor should appear on your phone s screen you can now use this cursor to click drag and navigate the user interface this allows you to carefully input your pin or draw your unlock pattern once unlocked you can navigate to your settings enable cloud backups or connect the phone to a computer to transfer files limitation this trick has one major dependency you must be able to see the screen to guide the cursor if your screen is black blank or completely distorted this method won t work as you ll be navigating blind method 3 for the tech savvy scrcpy requires usb debugging for those who are more comfortable with technology and command line interfaces scrcpy short for screen copy is a fantastic free and open source tool it offers high performance low latency screen mirroring and control for android devices over a usb or wi fi connection it s lightweight and doesn t require installing any app on your phone what you need you ll need to have the android debug bridge adb platform tools installed on your pc this is part of the official android sdk the process involves downloading the tools adding them to your system s path and running commands from a terminal or command prompt how it works once adb is set up and your phone is connected via usb you simply run the command scrcpy in your terminal a window instantly pops up on your desktop showing a live mirror of your phone s screen you can control it with your mouse and keyboard making it ideal for recovering data responding to messages or managing your device limitation as discussed earlier this method comes with a very significant catch it absolutely requires that usb debugging was enabled and authorized for your computer before the screen broke if you see a prompt on your phone s screen to allow usb debugging but can t tap ok you re stuck for the vast majority of users facing this crisis for the first time this requirement makes scrcpy an unviable option method 4 use your manufacturer s cloud service many smartphone manufacturers offer their own cloud services and device management tools which can sometimes provide a back door to your data samsung is a prime example of a brand with a robust ecosystem that can help in this situation for samsung users if you own a samsung device and previously set up a samsung account on it you may be in luck the samsung find my mobile service now part of samsung smartthings find offers remote functionalities if you had the remote unlock feature enabled on your phone before the accident you can log in to the find my mobile website from any browser from there you might be able to remotely unlock your device more importantly even if you can t unlock it the service often provides an option to remotely back up your phone s data to samsung cloud this will securely save your contacts call logs messages and more which you can later restore to a new samsung device other brands other manufacturers like google for pixel phones and xiaomi with mi cloud have similar find device features but their remote data backup capabilities can be more limited compared to samsung s it is always worth logging into your device specific account google mi etc on a computer to see what remote options are available to you success here depends entirely on the settings you had enabled before the screen broke method 5 use samsung sidesync samsung only if you are a samsung user and have a smartphone that is highly damaged and has no operable screen you do not have to beat around the bush and find the best platform that would suit your needs as we identify the fact that the number of mirroring applications in the market is beyond comprehension the search for the application to control broken screen android from pc is made simple and straightforward for samsung users samsung

screen sharing for casting the screen of our smartphone final lifelines what to do if nothing else works if you ve tried the methods above without success don t give up hope just yet there are a few final checks and options that could save your data check your sd card it s an obvious step but one that s easily overlooked in a panic if your phone has a microsd card slot you may have configured

that a large portion of your most precious memories are already safe check google photos google drive the cloud is your best friend in a data crisis if you ever enabled the backup feature in google photos there s a strong chance your entire photo and video library has been automatically syncing to the cloud in the background open a web browser on a computer and log in to photos google com with your google account you might be pleasantly surprised to find everything there similarly check drive google com for any documents pdfs or other files you may have saved consider a professional if the
