How to connect the phone to the computer?
How to connect the phone to the computer? There are only a few known methods for pairing a mobile device with a personal computer. Each of these methods is extremely popular and is used quite often. You can connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable, wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is used less often, because the transmission speed, in comparison with other methods, is quite low, and the phone’s charge will be consumed very quickly. In addition, the computer must be equipped with a receiver, which will have to be purchased for such manipulations. It's no secret that there are motherboards with a built-in module, but for other computers this method is not relevant. Let's talk about each one individually.

The advantages of this method of data transfer is that absolutely any user can afford it. To pair a mobile device with a computer, it is enough to have:

- free USB input on the PC itself.
In order to transfer data, you need:

If the cable was lost or broken, then no one forbids you to purchase a new one. Buying a new wire will not hit your pocket, and you won’t have to search for such an accessory for a long time.

For example, Linux owners may experience a number of connectivity issues that have long been resolved by skilled programmers. With Windows, everything is much simpler: you just need to connect the device, wait for the automatic installation of drivers and boldly get to work.
Samsung
Another nuance arises when working with mobile devices from Samsung. How to connect a Samsung phone to a computer? To transfer data you will have to use special software called Samsung kies.
Important! This software, in addition to standard functions, allows you to view and edit phone book and SMS data.
For the phones of this company, there are other programs designed to pair devices:
- Samsung Kies. Designed to work with any device.
- SGS3 Easy UMS. Only works with Galaxy devices.
- Samsung Pc Studio 7.2. Also suitable for all phones from Samsung.
- Samsung ExpressConnect. Also a common program that is very easy to use and does its job well.
Important! It is worth noting that the software from “Samsung” monitors the current version of the firmware and is very convenient for synchronizing the media library. And the data backup function will greatly help those users who do not want to lose contact numbers from the notebook and other, equally important, information.
Mac operating system
Some use Apple’s operating system, arguing that they are attached to a nice interface and a secure system.But this is not about operating systems, so it’s worth answering one interesting question: how to connect the phone to a computer if it has Mac OS installed?
The answer was provided by Google in the form of specialized software called Android File Transfer, which allows you to pair Android devices with a Mac. You can install this program on any phone and in the future no drivers will be needed at all.
Let's go back to Samsung, you can pair these devices with the PC on which the Mac OS is installed using the same kies.
Important! This option is relevant only for Mac versions below 10.8.
Problems
There is a very common problem when connecting the phone to a computer. Sometimes the PC simply does not see the mobile gadget. To solve this problem you need:
- Go to the settings of your Android device.
- Find the item “USB debugging”.
- Check the box opposite.
Important! In no case do not delete unfamiliar files and folders unless you have confidence in your actions. Such hindsight can lead to unstable operation of the mobile device system.
Sometimes the root of the problem may lie in the integrity of the cable, improperly installed software, or in the PC input itself. If the problem is not solved here, you should conduct a full scan of the system for viruses. Malicious software is often the cause of inconvenience.
Important! It is worth noting that most often with some smartphones the standard package of applications for working with a computer is included.
