Connecting to a Computer

Connect your phone to a computer to transfer data between your phone and the computer. Use the USB cable that comes with your phone, or use one of the pre-loaded apps on your phone to connect wirelessly.

Transferring Data

Connect your phone to a computer with a USB cable to transfer data as a Media device using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) or as a Camera using PTP (Photo Transfer Protocol).

1.Attach your phone to the computer with a USB data cable. Your phone recognizes the connection as the last connection method you used, and displays a connection alert in the Status Bar and the Notification Panel.

2.From the Home screen, sweep your finger downward to display the Notification Panel and touch the alert.

•Media device (MTP): Transfer media files with Windows, or using Android file transfer on a Mac (see www.android.com/filetransfer).

•Camera (PTP): Transfer photos using camera software, and transfer files to computers that do not support MTP.

4.On your computer, choose a method for accessing your device. Available options depend on the programs installed on your computer.

5.Transfer files to the memory card. When finished, you can disconnect the USB cable.
