I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I friggin smashed the screen yesterday. New one is in the mail and should be here today according to tracking. The old phone still powers up and works, just there is no screen. The display is totaled. I really would love to transfer all text messages, apps, pictures, videos and S note's I have saved. I know the Sprint store can transfer contacts and photos, but is there any way possible to extract the other stuff and put it on my new phone? I have not been to the store yet to ask, but biased on what people online have said, theres really no way, unless I backed it up beforehand (I didn't). I find this hard to believe. If I murdered someone and there was reason to believe there was valuable information in my phone for the court system, they could extract every single bit of data off of my phone. So, the technology is there, but how do I convince the Sprint store to use it? I wonder if I could get them to swap the screen on my new phone to the old one, then port everything over to a computer from there? I'm a bit worried, because I have about a million nude photos of chicks on there. LOL.

Oh..and I tried to hook the phone to my computer, but the computer will not access it unless I unlock the password on the phone…I can't do that with a dead screen. Damnit anyways.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.
 
Download Samsung kies to a pc and it will ask you if you wanna backup your data when you plugin the data cable. Thats how I backup my s3

You seem to have the brains on that end, Tin…I just have the brawn to break the damn thing. I'm live chatting with Samsung right now and they don't have a clue what to say to me. I keep asking questions that they don't know how to answer. Hahaha
 
Yep. Fuck Sprint. Fuck Samsung. Everyone told me there's no way to extract data and I'm pretty much screwed. I asked if doing a motherboard switch a roo would work. They said no, because texts are stored elsewhere. I asked where…they said on the phones memory. Dumb fucks. I just yanked the motherboard out of my old phone. Took 5 minutes. Now I'm just waiting for the fed ex guy to get here with my new phone and the transplant will be complete. I am however worried about 2 things…One, some people say if you swap motherboards, the new device may not read it correctly. Second, since I have to send my old phone back to the warranty company, are they going to fuck me if they see the serial numbers on the motherboard don't match up to the phone?
 
Cant you just get a replacement screen? Fix it, get your data and then return the new one or sell the used one?

I'd shoot myself before using itunes.. Tons of ways to sync/backup android phones, you just have to be proactive (same as using itunes). Your phone have an hdmi port where u can connect to a tv?

I hear that. Went to use the fiance's ipad for my recent out of town trip.. "Hey how do I drag and drop a video file onto the Ipad's hard drive, do I have to use Itunes". Yes, gotta thru itunes.. "ok". Go to drag 3 movies in AVI format onto it. "File type not supported" Oh right, because mp4 is the only file you support so let me convert all of these files. ps thanks for filtering what i'm allowed to add to my device.. Android=drag and drop, pick the media player u want to use to play with.

Now where'd you put that speech about change and how if you don't change you'll be "that guy" :hmm: :lol:

Like I said though, can't he just replace the screen? You can get a replacement iphone screen for $30.

It's funny how defensive you guys gets over android products when someone gives you guys a little shit. Meanwhile I could really care less because IT'S A PHONE! I just bought it, and any asshole can do that. Why would I care? :lol: I think we know who the sheeple are on this forum. :icon_bigg

If it's so easy, then why does he have to swap his mother board to recover data?
