re: Galaxy S4 Help

I had the same thing happen, it was a huge pain in the arse. for some reason i never synced my contacts with google. how do you unlock your phone? what I did, i would only recommend if your phone isnt locked, or if you have a VERY simple pattern unlock, AND you have haptic feedback enabled. I had to buy the mhl to hdmi out adapter, as well as microusb to usbA adapter. you basically plug a mouse ito the phone using a usb adapter, then try to guess viatrial and error where you're moving and clicking with the mouse, going back and forth with the monitor and the mouse. unlock it then export contacts and texts to your sd card. it ended up taking me over an hour, but it saved me fifty bucks to have the data recovered at a repair shop
