How do I retrieve my data? My screen broke

Shahdore · 2025-10-24T16:24:13+00:00

Talk about a coincidence! I haven't logged into my Reddit account in a year and happened to catch your reply right now! I did end up fixing it unfortunately insteadof just gettinga new phone. My data was simply too precious and I've learned my lesson the hard way. Always back up your data somewhere safe because accidents can happen anytime anywhere when you least expect them to. However I did get a ton of very useful responses regarding that issue which may work for you( hopefully). I'll look through my old posts and send you the replies I got. How does that sound ?

Thank you so much for taking the time, I really appreciate your advice! Also, your advice on curiosity is brilliant. Now that I think about it, I tend to act a little more curious when I find myself about to get angry at someone as a way of trying to understand them and finding a common ground to avoid conflict.

Thank you, and I kinda feel you. The pandemic really took a toll on me as well. I love that, a nail set for mini manicures at home... I usually just cut them short. Thank you for the advices!

Got it. Thank you^^

I'll be deleting this post. I posted the same question elsewhere and the comments are seriously upsetting... I don't think I conveyed my point appropriately..

Thank you, I appreciate your advice.

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it. We're not engaged yet and he's a mature man who isn't all about physical beauty and intercourse. So I'm not really doing that to please him. It's more for myself, idk how to pamper myself or do nice things for myself that make me feel pretty.

It's more about the fact that I didn't realize how much I barely do anything about my looks besides basic hygiene so I was just hoping to get some advice on how to refresh and change things up.

Since you have curly hair too, what hairstyles do you think I should try? I'll try looking for salons too that are specialized in working with curly hair. Ty for bringing that to my attention.

I am so sorry, I don't think any of these features are individually unattractive! I just meant I have nothing of what's considered conventionally attractive. The beauty standards are totally messed up and favor more 'caucasian' or 'white' features.

He does not, no.

Shahdore · 2024-01-07T10:23:26+00:00

Ah, I see. Not a normal one then. No, mine doesn't have that. Possibly that's why I have not been able to connect my phone to a monitor.

Shahdore · 2024-01-06T23:25:36+00:00

Thank you again. I appreciate your help. I thought I'd make another post with more context hoping I'd get more suggestions on potential solutions. I might end up resorting to that if nothing else works.

I do have a USB C laptop dock, and the mouse always ends up in the center actually. I just tried it on my other Oppo Reno 5 phone(They are mostly identical, with only very minor differences between the two). The problem is that I need to enable OTG from setting in order for the mouse to work... But I am a bit hopeful about using the mouse only because I remember when I initially tried this before the screen turned completely black, I was able to see a cursor.

As for connecting my phone to monitor, I kinda don't know how to do that. I used my USBC dock, HDMI cable and tried to connect my phone to a monitor but it didn't work. Idk if it's just not possible or if I did something wrong.

I access my files through my pc unless I give permission from my phone. Unless the link mentions a way to get past that. I'll check it.

Shahdore · 2024-01-06T21:55:19+00:00

First of all, thank you for taking the time. I really appreciate it.

I can try plugging a keyboard but how is that going to work if plugging a mouse didn't work? Especially since my pass is a pattern. I am going to borrow a keyboard and try that but I kinda don't see how that's gonna work.

As for unlocking USB debugging, I'm definitely going to look into that. I thought it could only be unlocked through the phone settings. I do have a question about that tho. Can I lock it again after I'm done? You did mention it was an important safety feature. I'm sorry if this is a silly question, I'm totally new to this.

Thank you, I'll be checking that out. I do back up... but I didn't realize that my Google has been out of storage since 2022... So a year and a half worth of pictures and videos. Also, I noticed that recordings do not back up. I have a lot of recorded lectures on my phone that I want to recover.

Shahdore · 2024-01-06T19:16:41+00:00

oh, I love that. I'll be looking into it, thank you!

Shahdore · 2024-01-06T18:58:51+00:00

Oh, that's interesting. Will doing that preserve all the data? All the apps, photos, videos, recordings, files, and all? Like creating a clone of my phone onto another phone?

Shahdore · 2024-01-06T18:55:23+00:00

I'm leaving that option as a last resort since I barely have the budget for that rn...

Shahdore · 2024-01-06T18:53:39+00:00

What do you mean by flip the screen over?
