How to recover the data with the broken screen
If you still see it but the screen does not respond
Your smartphone has been dropped and now it is impossible to use? This is one of the most common cases: the device is on, but the screen is black and does not respond when we touch it. Although the screen is broken we can recover the data and files.
For terminals that support the USB OTG protocol, the screen can be controlled thanks to a computer mouse. You only have to connect the mouse, or much better a combo mouse and keyboard, to your smartphone through a cable or USB OTG connector and we will have the mouse pointer ready to click. This way you can use the device as if it were a computer.
If the screen does not look very good or is off
Another option is to take control of your smartphone directly from the PC. There are applications like AirDroid with which we can take control of the device but we have to have them installed before the accident happens.

he co-founder of Cyanogen, Koushik Dutta, has developed Vysor, with which we can control our smartphone from a computer. For this we must install the application in the terminal, which we can send it from Google Play, logged with our account from the computer. Now install the Chrome add-on and the drivers and you can start now.

Another alternative is Droid @ Screen . With it we have the opportunity to see the screen of the Android device on a computer, as if it were a window. To use it we need several things:
- Have the Android SDK installed (it comes with Android Studio).
- In a command window in Windows (run> cmd) point where the Android SDK is with: set ANDROID_HOME = C: \ installation path \ android-sdk
- Have the USB drivers of the Android device installed.
- Connect the Android device via a USB cable to the computer with USB debugging enabled.
- Run the JAR file that we just downloaded with the command: java -jar droidAtScreen-1.2.jar
After a few seconds we will have a window with the screen of our smartphone.
Prevent is important: make backups
Our smartphones contain a series of very sensitive data that it is convenient to insure. There are several ways to do this: hide the files that you want to protect, block applications to restrict access, use guest mode, make backups in the cloud or put passwords to applications.
The best way to ensure all the data contained in our smartphone is to make a backup periodically. That is, save a copy of the data to be able to recover even in the case of losing the device.
There are several applications for backup on Google Play with which we can transfer data and make a back up on our computer. In a few steps we can have our data safe. Easy Backup is a simple application that allows us to save our data in the cloud or on the SD card .
