Youve never actually had that happen if you think its that easy.
It is still possible to unlock an android phone with a fucked screen.
I had to do this once and managed to unlock the phone with a USB mouse. It took me a while to get the right pattern, but it is possible.
I mean sure it’s not easy to remote wipe if you never set up the feature that lets you remote wipe.
The first ever Android I had (Galaxy S4) was sadly dropped by a friend, and the oled screen was toast within a few days… thankfully I had previously authorized ADB on my main computer, had it paired to a Sony Ericsson LiveView (with OpenLiveView), and my bluetooth headset was set up to automatically launch the music player when connected. Could also make calls using the voice assistant (forgot what it was called back then, S-Voice or something?) needless to say a screen replacement wasn’t urgent at all.
Can’t say I’d be able to do the same nowadays on modern Android with all the forced app killing and stuff, as well as Google Assistant being a massive downgrade (believe most useful actions on a smashed device would require unlocking, and on-screen confirmation)
It depends on how the phone is setup and whether or not you have plugged in to a pc before. It sounds like it’s you that has that no idea.
Most android phones (can’t speak to Apple) are pretty much plug and play via USB. Plug it in and browse the files on it, it’s slow as hell and may be retrievable by software designed to undelete files but it’s doable, you may have to approve the connection on the phone but if you have plugged it in prior then you probable don’t have to.
Nope. Had this happen with my wife’s phone. Because developer mode had not been enabled previously and the screen was completely inactive, there was absolutely no way to wipe the phone.
Choice was either pay a stupid amount of money to get the screen repaired (and I’ve had a bad experience with screen repairs actually working) or bin the phone and hope that nobody bothers to try and fix and then gain access. :/
Dude the goddamned phone requires that you confirm permission to access or manipulate anything on that phone. You cant just plug a usb cable in and fuck with everything. What the hell sort of phones do you guys buy that it just does that with no security measures?
Sounds like you don’t understand tech at all. Some of us have been using smart phones since palm and blackberry. Earlier versions of Android didn’t need the confirmation at all, assuming that it was defaulted to file access.
I’ve been android since the beginning and my last few phones (all pixels) I don’t remember having to approve the usb connection after the first time.
Can you plug a random phone into a pc and access files? Probably not.
Can you plug your own phone into a pc it’s been connected to prior and access files even with a broken screen? More likely yes, than no.
You and the other minions downvoting me should try reading my entire comments as many times ad needed for you to grasp the very basic concepts at play.
And to repeat. You have no idea how the file system on android works. You most definitely can delete/backup/etc the photos, screenshots, etc on the phone via USB. You can not easily access app data as thats encrypted and stored elsewhere.
You kids need to get off the internet before you hurt yourself.
This is starting to feel more and more like reddit, that’s not a good thing.
Huh, that’s odd. The same user having the same shitty experience across multiple platforms with no other discernable commonality. What a puzzle, we’ll never figure it out.
Way to out yourself as one of the idiots I’m talking about. Reddit is full of jackasses who think they are the epitome of knowledge on a subject when the opposite is the truth, the ones who post the most telling others they are wrong are the ones who don’t know shit about jack, sadly these numbnuts are making there way here, apparently you are one of them.
