How to transfer Files Between Your Phone and a Computer

You can use the supplied USB cable to connect your phone directly to your computer and transfer music, pictures, and other content files. For example, if you have a music album stored on your computer that you want to listen to on your phone with the music player, Google Play Music, or Sprint Music Plus, just attach your phone to the computer and copy the files to the Music folder.

Note: Your phone supports USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and includes a USB 3.0 cable for higher data transfer speeds when connected to another USB 3.0 device. You can also use USB 2.0 cables (not included) to charge and connect your phone. 


  
1. Connect your phone to your computer using the supplied USB/charging cable. You may need to remove the USB cable from the Charging Head.

• Insert the smaller end of the cable to the USB Charger/Accessory jack at the bottom of the phone.
• Insert the larger end of the cable into an available USB port on your computer.

2. Your phone will automatically detect the connection. When appears in the Status bar, swipe your finger down from the Status bar to open the Notification panel.

3. On the Notification panel, the type of connection is shown:

• Connected as a media device: Used for most transfers. You can transfer files in Windows or from a Mac.
• Connected as a camera: Used for transfers of photos using camera software on your computer.
• To change the connection type, tap it in the Notification panel to open the Storage settings > USB Computer Connection option, and then tap the desired option. If your phone is connected to a computer with a USB 3.0 port, you can choose to use USB 3.0 here.

Note: USB 3.0 speeds up data transfers, but it may sometimes interfere with calls or data when it is in use. If you choose to use a USB 3.0 connection, it will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity, and will switch to USB 2.0.

4. On your computer, navigate to the detected phone (such as through the My Computer menu) and open it.

5. If available, select a drive (Card for an optional installed memory card (not included), or Phone for internal phone storage).

6. Select a folder (for example, Music for songs and albums) and copy files to it from your computer.

7. When you are done, disconnect your phone from the computer.
