How to Transfer Cell Phones Pictures to a Computer

Although this might be a wide subject but I will try to cover it as much as I could.

Things You'll Need

• Cellphone
• Data Cable
• Bluetooth receiver
• IR receiver

Instructions

1. It all depends on the type of cellphone you have. If you have a windows mobile phone, then you could simply just plug it in to the data cable provided and install Microsoft Active Sync. After that you can simply browse through the folders and find the picture files you are looking for.

2. If your phone accept an external memory card (Mini SD, Micro SD, TF, etc.) Then you could just change the storage location to this storage card, and later you can simply remove it from your phone and move the files to your computer/laptop with multi-card reader when applicable.

3. If you have a bluetooth enable phone, you could setup a pairing between your phone and your computer. If your computer/laptop have a bluetooth capability, then you are set to go, you can set up the pairing from the control panel menu. Otherwise, you might want to get an USB Bluetooth adapter from your local electronic store. It should cost you around $20-$30 depend on the brand. Make sure it's at least support Bluetooth 1.1 / 2.0

4. If your phone doesn't have bluetooth but have an IR transmitter, you might still be able to transfer it using IR. Older laptop usually have IR port and you should be able to beam your picture to your laptop. Otherwise, get an USB IR receiver from your local electronic store.

5. If none of the above applies to your phone, you might need to get a proprietary data cable and software provided by the cellphone maker. I use to do this on my old Nokia phone.

6. Since I personally use V3 before. I will go into depth for this type of phone. Although you can send picture from RAZR V3 using bluetooth, however if you prefer to use USB, you need to use their proprietary software in order to browse the file, the name of the file is "Mobile PhoneTools" (search on Google). A good reference site for this phone is drmoto.net, motox.info, xlr8.us/hofo. Those sites contains a lot of information and program to totally hack your V3 such as unlock, add new game and ring tone, add new menu, change signal light color, etc. The program I used a lot is called P2KMan.

Tips & Warnings

• Some cellphone provider allow you to store your pictures to their data storage where you can download it off the web. I have T-Mobile and they can put the picture I took using my camera phone to my T-Zones.

• Be careful when moving certain files in your phone, it might cause your cellphone to stop being functional
