Cant access phone files from phone. How do you open hidden files(

>>58615379

Use UMS instead of MTP

Can't make any changes on the phone.

>>58615487

Yes you can. That's the whole point of buying an Android device.

use adb to push and pull files, it's faster

I can't access anything in the phone because the screen has "stopped working"/"lost connection"

>>58615558

Then consider the phone lost and restore your files from your backup.

I'LL TELL YOU HOW YOU FUCKING MORON:

-OPEN TRASH
-THROW PHONE IN
-ACCESS BACKUP (lol like you have one, being the ignorant little shitstain you are)
-COPY FILES FROM BACKUP TO LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE

hey, I'll stop using caps lock.
what you really need is to buy a new screen and repair your phone <3
since you replied "how do i do that?" to someone telling you to restore from backup... you probably can't do that. you can't do anything.

>you can't do anything.

Pretty accurate description of OP.

>>58615669

I tried that but I can't copy the hidden files

>>58615685

I don't really know how to do that so unless I did it by accident I probably don't have one.

>>58615704
They told me its the only solution but buying a new screen comes up to almost the price I bought the phone for in the first place.

>I don't really know how to do that so unless I did it by accident I probably don't have one.
You learned an important lesson today: always have backups. Now fuck off

>>58615726
if you used a google account you might have accidentally done it. No files, but contacts and calendar and installed/bought apps are in the cloud.
>I don't know how to do that
It is literally as easy as:
- mailing yourself the valuable file
- copying it to another device
- dropping it in your google docs/onedrive/dropbox
- using an actual backup progam
don't say you didn't know, we all know you just didn't bother, or think about it.

>>58615741
well, how much is
>having a working phone again
>having your files again
worth to you?
I'd think that having a working phone is worth the price of a working phone... especially if you have important files on it.

Thank you very much!! :)
I googled how to backup my things and found an android recovery program and i managed to get everything out of my phone.Sorry for being frustrating I'm just not all that good with technology(you are right mainly because I haven't paid much attention to it).
Anyway thanks everyone for the advice and have a nice day :)

fucking help threads, why even bother

Good to hear you weren't completely fucked. I hope you realize how lucky you are. Next time backup your stuff.
