Disconnecting phone

If you wish to remove a phone after data extraction and whilst the analysis is running, please wait until you see the text "Phone can be disconnected now" in the log panel on the left-hand side of the application window. It will not appear as a popup.

You can then safely disconnect the phone from the PC and the analysis will continue until completion.

The Forensic Connector application is used for communication between the PC and the Android phone

If extracting from an Android phone, please make sure that you uninstall the Forensic Connector application from the phone when the extraction is complete and before the phone leaves your possession.

To uninstall the Forensic Connector manually from the device, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Settings / Applications

2. Select Forensic Connector from the list

3. Tap on Uninstall and confirm

If the phone is disconnected during the extraction process, you will get a 'Warning' message that the phone has been disconnected. You can either reconnect the phone to continue with the extraction or, skip the extraction and continue with exports.
