How To Use Your Phone With Broken Screen

 

Introduction:

A smashed smartphone screen is one of the most dreadful things about using a smartphone they are so delicate even a baby can crack your screen sometimes it's just the touch screen that will work but in today's tips and tricks i'm going to show you how you can assess and use any smartphone with a dead screen or that touchscreen with just three things a usb otg and a usb keyboard and then a mouse so if you're ready let's go and check this out okay welcome back i'm gonna start with the disclaimer here because not all smartphones have the imbued usb otg function uh today's tips and tricks we are going to really really need that uh for this trick and also uh if your phone has wireless cast or wireless display uh built in that's another advantage because i'm gonna show you something towards the end so if you have those two.

Turn on Developer Option:

Let's just move in you're gonna need to go into your system settings and then scroll down about phone and go to build number and tap it seven times so that it will turn on developer options now that's a hidden setting in android so you have to do this to enable it once you've enabled it go back to settings and then now scroll down to system so if you go to system you see a developer option and turn it on if it's not on already go to default usb configuration now you're going to move your default when you plug in a usb to go in into a file transfer because if your first screen is completely smashed like this one now and if it still turns on you're gonna need this setting to be able to connect it to the pc and to see it's showing that it is connected that way you can get things out of it.

But today's a tips and trick we're going to use a phone that um the touchscreen is not working now everything we're going to do here is still applicable to a phone that is that has a completely smashed screen the next thing i didn't tell you about earlier is that if you have a phone that have a fingerprint it's a plus for what we're about to do i'll show you i'll explain that later so get your usb otg keep it by the side uh any usb keyboard can just be okay i'm using the flexible one i like this one i'm using the flexible one and then you might also want to keep a mouse beside because there are some clicking that we might need to do if you're still seeing anything on your screen. 

Connect Keyboard to the Phone:

So let's start with the keyboard so when i talked about a fingerprint this is critical because for any phone that has a fingerprint once you turn on the phone that has a screen lock if you touch the fingerprint it will prompt you immediately to where you enter the pin now that's a very interesting trick so if you press as i did right now if you press the fingerprint it will give you option where you start entering the keys or the password or the pin of the phone so even when the screen is off once you're sure the screen has turned on then you touch the fingerprint and it pops up the input and then you put in the input from your otg keyboard and that opens the phone so once the phone is open if you already have a fingerprint in it you can just tap on the fingerprint at the back and then the phone will turn on even when you're not seeing the screen.

Connect Mouse to the Phone:

Now i can see this one now so i have to now use a mouse um i'm going to use a mouse for clicking you know to click on things maybe i want to open up things open a setting or move some file in the phone to memory card or anything that i want to do that will require clicking um or turn on some things uh if you can still see so this mouse usage is important if you can still see anything in the phone but the touch screen is not working so that's a very very very important uh trick that we.

I bring in here so the mouse is working but the touchscreen is not working so with the mouse right now i can do every other function that is required in the phone copy files paste file open up things that is if you can still see your phone so that's it if you cannot see it just put on the password with the fingerprint you know prompt and then connect it to the pc and copy out whatever you want but right now i'm going to give you the bonus so the extra bonus is that because the screen is not working and we want to use it.

Connect Your Phone with Wireless Cast:

Now we're going to connect it to my laptop with wireless cast or wireless display now i'm going to go to the setting because i can still see some things here and then i'm going to turn on the wireless cast so if you already have the skin tone on and your touchscreen is not working you can comfortably use your phone and see it clearly from the pc or the display tv or smart tv or whatever monitor that you have that has you know cast capacity so once we've done that once we've done that we're going to ask it to allow always because our screen is not working and then we're going to connect so right now you are seeing you are seeing me here see the screen too.

Okay so now the screen is here now so i connect the mouse and i'm going to use the mouse to use the phone like normal i can play movies i can make calls i can do everything i can do with the phone even when the screen is not working so i can now go in and then open everything with my mouse connected with otg even if the screen fails so this is a very very important trick because if you have something in your phone that you want to bring out and after the screen has crashed uh some things you've not done.
