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 Notification Bar and the
Notification Panel.
2. From the Home screen, sweep your finger downward
to display the Notification Panel and touch the alert.
3. Select a connection method:
• 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
phone. 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.
