Unlock your Android Smartphone with a USB-Mouse

What do you do, when you can't unlock your Android Smartphone anymore, because the screen glass is broken? The Situation gets even worse, if you have data on that Smartphone. In case your data is stored on an external SD-Card, its not possible to read the SD-Card from another Smartphone or Laptop. This is due to the fact, that by default every Android device encrypts the SD-Card so that the data can only be accessed by the device itself.

You could replace the display glass of your Smartphone, but depending on your model, this can get quite expensive. Fortunately, there is another alternative: You can connect a USB-Mouse with the help of an USB OTG Adapter.

In my case, I managed to destroy the screen glass of my Motorola Moto e4 XT1762. Therefore, I bought an ednet Micro USB 2.0 OTG Adapter for 7,90€.
