Hi,
The screen of my Samsung S3 mini is broken / black (fallen on the floor...).
I tried to use KIES to connect and save my photo's that are in the internal memory (not on the SD), but KIES states: "Device is locked".
I then tried to type the unlock-code on the Samsung, but I can't get it unlocked (perhaps the 'touch' part is broken too?).
Any thoughts/tips how to connect to the device to save my photos?
Thnx!

I've seen a post that states that you can go to the Samsung website and there's a 'Find my phone' link that'll allow you to remotely unlock the phone, after which Kies should be able to backup everything.

Connect it to your Windows PC using an USB cable. The phone should show up in Explorer as a multimedia device. You can browse the files from there and copy them to wherever you want to.

Uh, sorry - his phone is locked - no content will show up in Windows until the phone is unlocked. But he can't unlock it because the screen is broken.

jonniechamos,
What does any of this have to do with the original thread topic? It's considered poor etiquette to hijack a thread with your own topic - please create your own thread if you can't find one that is similar to yours, and I'm sure you'll get some assistance.
