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.
