USB connection type
Opens a dialog box to choose the default connection mode when connecting your phone to a
PC via USB. Choose from Charge only, Media sync (MTP), or Camera (PTP).
Media sync(MTP)
Allows the phone to be used as MTP phone when a microSD card is present in the phone. It
allows transfer of protected content from the phone to the PC and vice versa.
To synchronize your phone with your computer using the USB
1. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Autorun will check whether MTP driver is installed or not in your PC.
3. If the driver is not installed, the MTP driver will be installed automatically and your PC
will be rebooted. After rebooting, it is possible to transfer any fi les between the phone
and the PC.
Note: For Windows® XP, MTP driver is not installed by default. So Autorun will install the MTP
driver automatically after checking existence of the driver. If Windows Media
Player(WMP) over version 10.x is installed on the PC, MTP driver may be installed. For
Windows® 7 except for N edition, the driver is installed.
USB Tethering
You can use your phone to provide a data connection to a computer by activating data tethering
and connecting them with a USB cable.
To tether your phone with your computer using the USB
1. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Tap > > System settings > Connectivity > USB tethering.
3. Tap OK if you agree with the prompt.
Note: Data Tethering requires an appropriate data plan. Phones connected by tethering use
data from your plan. Plans are not unlimited and significant charges may be incurred if
the included data allowance is exceeded. Performance may vary depending on the
number of phones connected and other factors.
You cannot access your phone's microSD card on your computer when using USB
tethering.
