I Don't think there is going to be a way if your screen is broken and you can't access settings to check/uncheck this....

Have you tried plugging into a computer to see if it recognizes the device to transfer files?

I'm not sure if any of this would work, but if the touchscreen still works, just not the LCD display, then conceptually, the use of a microUSB to HDMI converter could be used potentially to control the device. For example:

And this is a good idea as well as it would essentially "send the screen" to a tv display so that the settings menu could be accessed and modified hopefully....

Great suggestion
