Hi John Wilton. My name is StraightTalk Stephanie and I will be addressing your question. Please follow the below instructions:
Connecting your phone to a computer via USB and to transfer files on your microSD card using USB devices:
1.Install your microSD card on your phone if it is not already installed.
2.Before connecting the USB cable, make sure that Mass storage only mode is enabled on your phone. On the Home screen, touch the Applications tab > Settings > SD card & phone storage, then select the Mass storage only check box.
3.Use the USB cable with your phone to connect the phone to a USB port on your computer. You will receive a notification that the USB is connected.
4.Touch Turn on USB storage. Then touch OK to confirm. When the phone is connected as USB storage, you will receive a notification. Your phone’s microSD card is mounted as a drive on your computer. You can now copy files to and from the microSD card.
NOTE: The USB and Bluetooth drivers are not automatically removed. Therefore, they must be uninstalled manually. When the USB is connected, you can’t access the microSD card from your phone, so you can’t use applications that rely on the microSD card, such as Camera, Gallery and Music.
To disconnect your phone from the computer, carefully follow your computer’s instructions for correctly disconnecting USB devices to avoid losing information on the card:
* Safely disconnect the USB device on your computer.
* Open the Notifications Panel and touch Turn off USB storage.
* Touch Turn off USB storage in the dialog that opens.
Thanks!
