Connecting your phone to a computer

Whenever you connect your phone to a computer using the USB cable, the Connect to PC screen opens and lets you choose the type of USB connection. Select one of the following choices, and then tap Done:

Charge only	Select this option if you only want to charge the battery while your phone
	is connected to your computer.
HTC Sync	Select this option to automatically use HTC Sync when connected to
	your computer. It lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address
	Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events between your
	computer and your phone. It also lets you copy your favorite content from
	your computer such as music, photos and videos, documents, and even
	bookmarks. For more information, see “Using HTC Sync” in the Accounts
	and sync chapter.
Disk drive	This mode is available only when there’s a microSD card on your phone.
	Select this mode when you want to copy files between your phone’s
	storage card and your computer. For more information, see “Copying files
	to or from the storage card” in this chapter.
	When Disk Drive mode is enabled while your phone is connected to the
	computer, you will not be able to run applications that use the storage
	card, such as Music or Gallery.

You can also change the type of USB connection on-the-fly, without having to disconnect and reconnect your phone. Slide open the Notifications panel, and then tap the notification that says “Select to change USB connection type” to open the Connect to PC screen again.

To change the default connection type or choose between showing and hiding the Connect to PC screen, press MENU from the Home screen, and then tap Settings > Connect to PC.
