Connecting your phone to a computer

Transferring and handling content using a USB cable

USB cable. Once the phone and computer are connected, you can drag and drop content
from one to the other using your computer’s file explorer.
Make sure you place files in the corresponding folder types. For example, put your music files in
the
Music
folder. Java application files are an exception. You should place them in the
Other
folder.
