Connecting your phone to a computer
By default, when you connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable, the computer
recognizes your phone as a disk drive.
Changing the connection type after connecting your phone to the computer
1. Open the Notifications panel. See "Opening the Notifications panel" to learn how to open the
Notifications panel.
2. Tap Disk drive, and then select one of the following:
Charge only. Select this mode if you only want to charge the phone’s battery using your
computer.
Sync. When selected, the phone automatically uses HTC Sync when connected to your
computer and lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook
Express), contacts and calendar events between your computer and your phone.
Disk drive. This mode is available only when you have installed a microSD card on your
phone. Select this mode when you want to use your storage card as a USB thumb drive,
and copy files between your phone’s storage card and your computer.
When Disk Drive mode is enabled while your phone is connected to the computer, you will
not be able to run applications that use the storage card, such as Music or Gallery. For more
information, see "Copying files to and from the storage card."
3. Tap Done.
You can also use Multimedia Sync to synchronize media files from your computer to your
phone. For more information, see "About Multimedia Sync by doubleTwist" in the Accounts and
sync chapter.
You need to download and install HTC Sync first on your computer before this option is made available.
For more information, see "Using HTC Sync."
To check or change the default connection type and to show or hide the Connect to PC dialog box, press
HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Connect to PC.
