... reducing thresold (negative) value, and drawing just a horizontal line in the upper part of the screen, I can answer calls.

Recovering files from android with broken and unresponsive screen

Mi "new phone" (August) is broken: my daughter was playing with it and it felt to the floor, and screen is broken.
It charges, usb works, buttons are working, but I am unable to even unlock screen, so I am unable un activate it as usb storage.

I have adb access, so I need to recover just files from internal memory; contacts and calendar are in gmail, so the info to extract are just some photos. 


Instead of using adb pull / adb push for each file, ... searching I found this

After that, I discovered that:
Unlock movements:

input swipe 100 700 600 300

Entering PIN:
input tap 300 500 is "5"
input tap 300 600 is "0"
input tap 100 500 is "4"
input tap 400 600 is "enter"

input keyevent 4 is "return"
input keyevent 82 is "menu"

With that I have been able to remove screen lock configuration...
