Connecting to a Windows Computer via USB
You can use a USB cable to connect your device to a
Windows computer, and transfer music, pictures, and other
files between the computer and your device. This connection
uses the MTP protocol, supported by most recent versions of
Windows.
Note: If you are using USB tethering, you must turn that off
before using USB to transfer files between your device
and computer.
When you connect your phone to the USB port on your
computer, its USB storage is mounted as a drive and appears
on your computer screen. You can copy files back and forth
as you would using any other external device.
1. Connect your device to the computer with a USB cable.
2. At the prompt, choose a method for transferring files.
3. Transfer files using the selected method.
4. When finished, disconnect the phone from the
computer.
Note: When you connect your device to a computer via USB
cable, the data connection takes precedence over
charging, and the device will only charge when it is
turned off.
