View messages on locked Android with damaged screen?

[AC Question]

view messages on locked android with damaged screen?

I dropped my galaxy note 3, and the distance that it fell lead to the screen being completely destroyed. Like, i literally do not see anything but the light that indicates you have messages and the options button. I tried the voice command to read my text, but it does not work considering my phone is locked. I am waiting on 2 very important text messages. Is there any way at all possible i can access these text messages tonight?????

Welcome to Android Central! First, try unlocking the screen using this method: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...de-accessing-locked-phone-cracked-screen.html. Once it's unlocked, connect the phone to a TV or HDMI monitor using an MHL adapter (which you'd have to buy if you don't already have one). This should allow you to view the phone screen on your TV. If the touchscreen still registers touches, you could then try to go to the Messaging app. If the touchscreen isn't registering touches, then connect a USB mouse with an OTG adapter (again, have to purchase this). Good luck!
