I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 that was dropped in water and died, completely. &nbsp;I left to dry out and a month or so later I plugged it in and lights appeared!! &nbsp;Huzzah. &nbsp; The screen though is till totally dead.<br />
<br />
When I plug into the computer to charge there’s a solid red light top left that eventually turns green. &nbsp;I guess that means it’s charged? <br />
<br />
When I plug it in to power or the PC it gives me the beep beep noise you get when it’s attaching to a power source. When I unplug it and hold the power button for a bit I get a blue light, it plays the Samsung sound , then blue light goes off and screen is still dead. &nbsp;<br />
I if I then plug into a PC &nbsp;I power off and on I get a msg in Win7 that &nbsp;“USB device not Recognized” &nbsp;.<br />
<br />
At one stage I could see the phone in Windows Explorer though I couldn’t access as I guess I need to add a password. &nbsp;At this stage I can’t see in Explorer as I keep getting the message “USB device not Recognized”<br />
<br />
What I really want to do is get some photos off the phone– any ideas how I could do this??<br />
Thanks

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).

A cellular phone (also known as a mobile phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a telephone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Mobile phones that offer services such as text messaging, email, Internet access, business applications, gaming, photography and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

Cell Phones

A smartphone or smart phone is a mobile phone with an advanced mobile operating system that combines features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use. They typically combine the features of a cell phone with those of other popular mobile devices, such as personal digital assistant (PDA), media player and GPS navigation unit. Most smartphones can access the Internet, have a touchscreen user interface, can run third-party apps, music players and are camera phones. Most Smartphones produced from 2012 onwards also have high-speed mobile broadband 4G LTE internet, motion sensors, and mobile payment mechanisms.
