I do not want to turn this sucker off.
Is there any reliable way to get at the internal/phone storage?
I would dowload a file manager (I use Astro File manager) and you can view your stuff there
But the best thing that you can do is hook it to your computer. Mount it. and make a backup folder and drop everything into it. then your next step is try to figure out your google sign in.
PS. glad you got it turned on. and make sure all your contacts are saved to the google account
Goodluck
