AC Question

I'm sure this must be posted before as well , but there are too many and I am desperate after days of searching. My phone fell on marble tiles face down and now part of my screen is not working. The phone is pattern locked, and I am unable to unlock it due to the broken screen. I need to retrieve my photos and other data from the phone somehow. I have tried Android device manager, OTG adapter using usb mouse, but to no avail. Please help me! :(

- my phone is not rooted
- Android version 4.4.4 (KitKat)
- USB connection is not enabled by default, so cannot transfer data that way

I am looking for a way to bypass the pattern lock OR take backup of my device data without unlocking it. Thanks in advance.
 
Hi, can't you go and get the screen replaced? or replace it yourself, there are a ton of YouTube videos online. Also, unless you changed the settings the majority of your pics / contacts / apps will have been synced up to your acc. So if you have a new android device, try start up with your existing account to see if all your previous data comes with it.
 
Hello Buddy.. Did you find any solution to bypass your locked screen ? I am going through the same situation.. my phone screen is broken and unable to unlock as touchscreen is not working... Please share if you have any solution...
