Hi,
I fixing my girlfriends LCD on her One X. Long story short we report lost and got a new one from att.
I have to remove the contacts from her old phone and place them on her gmail account but she didn't enable usb debugging.
Plus shes four hours away...
How do I connect the phone to the computer without being able to see the screen and fix the security settings?
let me see if i'm reading this correctly...
your girlfriend's screen is broken and you managed to blag a new phone out of it and now you want to transfer her gmail contacts to the new phone..?
if so, then all she has to do is log in to her google account on the new phone and it will automatically transfer (sync) all her contacts..
(btw.. usb debugging has nothing to do with the security of the phone)

Hi all,
I have a problem that I hope you can help with. I have a TMobile Dash that isn't working. Well, everything works just fine except the screen...lol. The screen is totally black and I can't see what I'm doing. TMobile has sent me a replacement phone, as mine was still under warranty. In fact, since this is the second Dash I've had a similar problem with, they allowed me to upgrade to the Dash 3G!!
Here's my problem...My contacts were NOT saved to my SIM card and I can't see what I'm doing, on the phone. So, I've hooked the phone to my laptop, via USB, and am attempting to find my contacts, so I can at least see them, to type them into the new phone. Any suggestions where to look? ORRRR Anyway to give me button by button instructions for moving my contacts to my SIM card? LOL. I've also attempted to use Windows Mobile Device Center, but it won't let me chance Sync Content Settings because I don't have Outlook. The only Content Settings it will Sync are files, but not contacts.
Basically, I need my contacts in the new phone. I can't see the screen of the old phone. I can hook either phone to laptop though. I have Vista, so Active Sync isn't an option. I've heard that there's software, available on this forum, that will allow me to hook my phone to computer, and use computer monitor as phone screen.
Any and all suggestions would be well appreciated!!
My Mobiler
Will not sync but will allow you to see the screen and copy the contents, will still need to make a connection via active sync etc.
Stylez, thank you very much!! Worked just great!!
Hey guys,
I got my Gingerbread update last night, 2.3.3, bringing the HTC software version to 2.42.405.2 - however every few seconds I get a pop-up saying that android.process.acore has stopped. As I understand it from the (admittedly small) bit of research I've done, this contains the contacts database - and it crashing means I can't use the phone, people or messaging apps, so my phone right now is a glorified browser and twitter client, with a camera and an annoying popup every few seconds.
I've contacted HTC support but I don't hold my breath for anything more useful than a hard reset - if they tell me to do this then I may as well get a new phone (I was planning to anyway, so may just bring that plan forward).
Some solutions I've read involve removing the account that the contacts database is associated with, but I keep my contacts on the phone, and though I have a Google account set up, it won't sync my contacts anymore because of this problem (I know this because a friend changed her number the other day and when I view the contacts on gmail, it still says her old number, which I deleted. If I try to remove the google account, the phone tells me it's needed and I would need to factory reset my phone to do so.
I am NOT prepared to factory reset my phone to fix this issue - the same way I would not be prepared to format my harddrive to fix most issues. I'm going to try and backup my contacts to my pc in the meantime, but is there anyone out there who can help me?
Hello everyone,
Before I start describing my problem I want to say that I did look over many threads and forums looking for a solution and I'm writing this as my last effort.
I have an htc wildfire S which is, well, broken since yesterday. I dropped it on the floor and the touch screen broke and is not responding although the phone does turn on. I got a new phone, also an android and I'm trying to transfer my contacts and messages from the old one to the new because, stupidly, I didn't back them up (yes, I know...).
The broken phone has enabled USB debugging although it is in "charge only" mode. It has also never been rooted.
I tried pulling contact2.db to sd card through adb command line but that didn't work since it returned "access denied." I also tried MyMobiler but I couldn't connect it to the phone.
Is there any way I can get these contacts and messages back?
Regards,
Jakub.

I am having the same issue did you got the solution how to backup the message.
Your contacts should be backed up to the google account you had, assuming you had it set up like that (its default)

I think you can take it to a T Mobile store and they'll just do everything for you.
I'm a do it yourselfer too whenever possible, but if someone will just plug it in and take care of it for you in 5 minutes that might be the simplest option here.
Unfortunately you're out of luck. Your phone won't display the contents of the internal SD card unless you unlock the phone which requires a working screen. If recovered info off someone's phone with a broken screen by connecting a working screen to it temporarily to unlock it.
This requires taking your phone apart but is very easy if you're comfortable.

You might be able to use Heimdall on a Mac or Linux machine to pull the data. Im not entirely sure how or what you would do with it once you pulled it. But that might give you a start for your research

Hi, been asked if I can recover the contacts from a friends Galaxy a3 (a300fu) but the screen and touch panel are damaged.
The display is black and you can hear the phone detecting phantom screen presses.
My windows laptop detects it as a media player so I suspect it is "alive"
I have tried some software but it needs USB debugging enabled and as I cant see/touch I cant get into the menu to enable developer mode.
His contacts are stored on the phone and he doesn't use google back up.
Is there any way I can recover his contacts?
Thanks..

If your friend has a galaxy account contacts should be restored upon setting up a new phone. So, if the new phone is a galaxy, then contacts can be restored after signing into Galaxy account. Apart from that, I'm really not sure.
Is there any chance contacts are saved to SIM? You could swap the SIM into another phone, then export them somehow

Try google contacts. I hadn't backed my contacts and I installed google contacts and all contacts from my wrecked phone appeared.
