Transferring and handling content using a USB cable
Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your phone for easy transfer and
management of your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag and drop
content between them using the computer's file explorer. If you're transferring music,
video, pictures, or other media files to your phone, it's best to use the Media Go™
application on your computer. Media Go™ converts media files so you can use them on
your phone.
