Remarkableriots Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I wasn't sure if this was the right board, but I have a cell phone question. Can you transfer data from a cell phone where the screen doesn't work correctly but the phone turns on? I have a text conversation from a friend who passed away and would like to keep it if that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 My iPhone text messages transferred over from my old phone to my new one. (Not just the apple delivered ones, all of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I have recently seen Google notify me about a new feature that lets me carry over text conversations from other phones which are logged in with the same Google account (obviously). You could hope that feature got updated onto your old phone and that your new phone will connect to it. Otherwise you would have needed to back up the messages with some other service prior to it breaking. Last option would be to buy a replacement screen. For budget phones I think the cost is around $30 for the screen itself; not sure how much screens on mid or high-end phones cost to replace. DIY is a pain in the ass, and could potentially break the phone further during disassembly, but it's doable with moderate equipment. Small screwdrivers, small prying objects, razor blade, and some heat to loosen up any glue should be all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
