What are you trying to save pictures and numbers? I'm sure you can sync the phone will google and it will save all that for you on its cloud
Yeah pics videos, full backup basically, to my computer so I can put it all back on when the phone is fixed/replacement sent.
You can have a screen fixed without restoring it then everything is still on it
Last time I sent a phone away they restored factory settings so I'd rather not take the risk, I was hoping there is a cable I can plug from my pc-phone-mouse like 3 connectors, as I can use the mouse to control the phone.
should be able to back it upon a computer, plug it in and it will ask if you wish load software onto the pc to enable you to do so, I have an Xperia
^ this.
Or just stick it on a Unix based machine and copy the entire contents of the phone, saves having to fanny around with apps to do it for you lol
[edit] Or try repairing it yourself, replacing a screen isn't usually that hard
So just plug the phone in and it should auto backup? Keep in mind I cant use the phone when its plugged into the computer with the screen broken, so cant select the option up backup (three options come up on the phone screen)Quote:
