Features of Dr.Fone – Screen Unlock

This screen unlock tool will help you to bypass lock screens in seconds regardless of how the screen has been locked i.e. password, PIN or fingerprint. The simple on-screen instructions (once the phone is connected via USB) will help you to bypass Android security and regain access so you can use the phone, even if it the screen has broken. With access to the device you can then use other Android PC Suite software to transfer content to your PC and restore date to your new phone, if required.

This Android PC Suite works perfectly with Samsung and LG handsets without data loss on most models, other competing software will wipe your phone resulting in a full reset of the device. This aspect of the software makes it unique in the market. This Android software can unlock security protected devices from other manufacturers too (such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Sony and Lenovo), but will result in data deletion. Still, full access to your device will be granted and you can begin using the handset as if you’d bought it from new.
