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.
