Thread: Camera phones

I have never been able to figure out how to get my pictures from my phone onto the computer.

I know with Sprint you have to be signed up for an additional $15.

Some have a little USB connection on them.

Yeah, go to Radio Shack and ask the whoever who works there.

nah im with bell not rodgers, i stayed home sick today because i got a damn bad cold so it looks like im going to bell mobility, w00t w00t

I can help you sort it out. I have experience in stuff like that.
1st, what type of phone do you have? Does is have Bluetooth or infrared? Does it have a removable memory card?

If you have Bluetooth on your phone, you can get a bluetooth plug to go into your USB port, & send information via radio waves, if you have infrared you can get an infrared plug for your USB port. If you have a removable memory card you could get a Memory card reader for your computer, & you just slip in the card & it appears as a removable hard drive. They're all quite cheap, but I'd say the more reliable, fast one is the memory card reader, if you have a card, next is bluetooth.

you need a data link cable and some software i think, check out your phone producers website it should have some info.

Any of the hardware you buy, weither it be bluetooth plug, Infrared or the Card reader all come with software.

Yup, the guy's right. You should have been provided with a CD Rom when your bought your phone, and it'll have the right software and drivers.

At least it should.. I bought a Motorola V3 Razr a few months ago and it came with a CD, but the software (Mobile PhoneTools) on it doesn't work properly, and pretty much anyone who tries to use it has to go online and search through crap loads of forums to find somebody who knows how to do it. And even then it only works on some PC's, depending on what kind of PC you have, etc... It's so shite, I got it to upload pics on to my PC once, then it stopped working altogether. I fucked around with it for 20 minutes or so and now I can upload about five photos before the PC breaks the link with my phone.

What kind of phone do you have? I might be able to help..

you can send the pictures to yourself via email. send a multimedia message with the picture attached to your email address and the picture shows up in your email

I have Verizon, in the gallery on my phone is an "Online Album" option which uploads the pictures for me and I get them by visiting a website and saving them.

My dad can just e-mail himself the pics frum his phone, but i doubt every phone has that. :/ sorry if i wasent any help.

You should be able to email them from any pxt phone, just send a mms message

ya i gotta use the online album option now, costs money unfortunatly, dick at the store didnt even try to help, just said no and continued his conversation with somebody else
