How can I connect my phone to a PC via USB cable?

When your device connects to a PC, the device will ask you which mode you want to use.

To transfer data between the device and computer, select Media Device (MTP) mode. This mode is used by default.

To transfer data to camera specific software on your PC, or when MTP mode is not supported, select Camera (PTP) mode.

To disable all data and file transfer connection with computer and put device in charging only mode, select Charging mode.

Computers that use Windows XP might not connect properly, because they don’t have the proper drivers installed by default. To fix this, download and install Windows Media Player 11 or higher which contains the proper drivers.

Computers that use Mac OS X 10.5 or later might not connect properly, because they don’t have the proper drivers installed by default. To fix this, download and install Android File Transfer which contains the proper drivers.
