What is the How to use the phone with a broken screen tutorial about?
In this video tutorial called How to use the phone with a broken screen, obviously I will show you how you can use a phone that has a broken screen on which the touch matrix does not respond.
Screen to which the touch matrix does not respond
Most of the time, they are phones that have been dropped and whose screen, although it can be seen, no longer responds to touch commands. That means you can no longer use it by putting your finger on the screen.
Why does touch no longer work on some phones?
Phones that no longer register touch commands when touching the screen can have one of two problems.
1. The ribbon of the touch matrix has come out of the slot and the touch no longer responds to touches
In this case, it can be fixed at the service relatively easily.
There are cases where we drop the phone, the screen doesn't break, but still the touch doesn't work or sometimes the battery doesn't charge.
In phones, there are flat cables that look like ribbons, which connect different areas and components of the phone.
In the event of a shock, the ribbon cables can come out of the contacts and thus the circuit is interrupted.
These contacts are of push type, which is why they can be easily logged. Unfortunately, the big problem is to disassemble the phone, not to insert a cable into a jack.
That's exactly why it's good to still go to the service.
2. Defect of the touch after breaking the screen
The above case with the ribbons, because of which the touch no longer works, is encountered, but not as often as the one with the screen breaking.
Most of the time, the touch doesn't work anymore because of the broken screen.
Even if the screen looks ok, the touch can be compromised by even the smallest crack.
Why doesn't touch work anymore when the screen is broken?
The screen is made like a sandwich, from several layers.
We first have a chemically deposited layer, which is called an oleophobic layer. After that comes the tempered glass, to which the touch matrix is glued, which is very fragile.
The touch matrix is like a net that measures the electric field in our fingers when the screen is touched
Over the years, in order to achieve the best possible contrast, manufacturers have begun to glue all the layers of the screen into one secure piece.
Obviously, the touch matrix, being very thin, almost invisible, breaks at the smallest crack in the screen.
Before, 10 years ago, the screens were not laminated and when the protective glass was broken, the screen and the touch panel usually escaped unharmed.
How can you use a phone that no longer works with touch?
it's very simple, you need:
1. A USB OTG adapter
2. A mouse as simple as possible
You connect the mouse with the USB OTG adapter to the phone and use the phone exactly as you would use a PC.
WARNING!
The mouse must be as simple as possible. Doesn't work too well with wireless or RGB mouse.
You can do absolutely anything from the mouse, even unlock your phone.

The question is, how do you use the phone (to delete the cards or electronic wallet or some confidential data), when the screen is black (from a fall, break, etc.)?
You have a chance, if you have debugging (ADB) enabled, or wireless ADB massage and the phone is not 100% destroyed. That is, if it loads, turns on and has a functional USB port, you can do everything "blindly" through ADB.
I am preparing a tutorial about this.
This video tutorial is very important. Thanks!
I also have a Galaxy a6 plus and it has a broken display. It's not worth repairing it because it costs as much as one second hand... I would still like to recover the pictures from it
