Android Central Question

Hi Guys,

I have a nexus 5x which got wet in the wilderness while on a biking trip. The touch screen no longer responds however the screen itself and phone seems to work fine. My wifi must be turned off as the photos I need have not backed up to the cloud. Basically I have no way of interfacing to the phone. The finger print scanner works but for some reason asks to confirm by drawing the pattern which I cannot do. Is there a way to retrieve these photos?

Plug a mouse into the micro USB port, there are micro USB to USB adapters and Android has native mouse support.

You'll get a pointer like you would on a PC, and should be able to click and drag your pattern.
