Lost in Limboh

[Limboh]

Dear Fellow Travellers,
Despite being PC illiterate, technically inept,socially isolated and economically deprived generally I'm travelling Ok.
With this in mind can anyone tell me how to transfer photos from my HTC Wildfire S mobile to a PC via cable. Mention has been made of memory cards and readers.
Living in hope,

Hello and welcome to the forums - thanks for joining!

It is possible to use memory card readers, but it is not essential.

Here is what you would need to do:

1. Connect your phone (with the supplied USB cable) to your computer
2. Some phones will actually tell you that you have connected your phone using USB and ask you what you want to do - if your's doesn't, then pull down the notification bar (from the top of the screen) on your phone
3. Select connect as USB mass storage
4. A message should then pop up on your computer telling you that a new USB device has been connected and ask you if you want to view the contents. If not, go to "my computer" and navigate to the external USB drive.
5. Once you start to look in the connected USB drive (which is actually the SD card on your phone), then you would need to look for one of the following folders "DCIM", "Camera", "Media" or something similar (these are just possibilities... on my phone it is "DCIM")
6. When you get to the correct folder, you should be able to browse through your photos and then copy them as normal.

Please note that this is all assuming you are using a windows computer (I have never used a MAC).



I hope this helps you... if you need any more info, either post back or check in HTC Wildfire S - Android Forums - this is where other users of the same device hang out and I am sure they will be happy to help!
