How to Connect Verizon Ally to Computer

You can connect your LG Ally to your computer with a USB cable.

Phones that run the Android operating system have multimedia features that let you listen to music and view pictures or videos on your phone. You can take pictures and videos with the phone's camera or download music, videos, and pictures from the Internet. You can also connect the phones to your computer and transfer multimedia files and data between the phone and your PC. The Android-powered LG Ally connects to a computer with a micro-USB cable.

Instructions

1. Connect the micro plug on one end of the micro-USB cable to the jack on the side of the Ally. Connect the other end to a USB port on your computer.

2. Touch and hold the status bar at the top of the Ally home screen. Drag it down over the screen.

3. Tap "USB Connected," then touch "Mount." The Ally's microSD card will be mounted as a removable USB drive on your computer, and you can transfer files to and from the memory card in the phone.

4. Tap "Turn Off USB Storage," then touch "Turn Off" to unmount the microSD card. When the card is unmounted, you can safely disconnect the Ally from your computer.

Tips & Warnings

• Your Ally's battery will recharge while the phone is connected to the computer with the micro-USB cable, whether USB storage is enabled or not.

• Some applications available in the Android Marketplace let you run programs on your computer that communicate with your Ally using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, if available on your computer.
