Connecting to a Computer

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

Transferring Data

Connect your device to a computer, via 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 Notifications.
2. From the Home screen, sweep your finger
downward to display Notifications, then
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 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.
