How can I transfer my photos from my mobile (Samsung D500) to my PC?

Question

For example, Is there a website where I can MMS my photos to? or if I need a lead, where can I get it from?
Thanks

Answer 1

either a data cable or bluetooth

Answer 2

Samsung D500

Answer 3

I have had trouble using USB cables with both phones and cameras. I have a new PC that has a memory card reader on it. The memory card is the way to go, but you need a reader. Another method that is slow is bluetooth.

Answer 4

The easiest way is to buy a bluetooth dongle. You plug that into your PC then just bluetooth the pics to your PC.

You can even buy them from Tescos for about 10 to 15 quid.

Answer 5

USB cable you can get one from SAmsung website or from Carphone warehouse or Phones4U

Answer 6

You can email them to yourself. Send it as a Picture message to your email address. Works like a charm for me I have T-mobile.

Answer 7

There are many ways to do this;
- infrared
Infrared can be used to wirelessly connect the phone to various devices, for various purposes. It can connect the phone to a computer, so that the computer can use the phone to make a data connection (to the Internet, or for syncing, for example.) It can also be used to exchange information such as phone book entries with other phones. Finally, some phones can also use it to send information such as phone book entries and calendar events to Infrared-equipped printers.

Infrared is a line-of-sight wireless technology that uses a beam of invisible light to transmit information. This means that the infrared ports of both devices must be nearby and aimed at each other for a connection to succeed.

Very few desktop computers come with infrared. It was once common in laptop computers, but is increasingly rare. Most computers will require a USB infrared adapter to communicate with a phone via infrared.

Infrared is the same technology used in most A/V remote controls. Some smartphones are capable of controlling home A/V devices via infrared, although third-party software is usually required.

Infrared technology in phones has mostly been replaced by Bluetooth, which has a longer range and does not require line-of-sight since it uses radio waves instead of light.

Advantages; most people prefer to use infrared as it is an old tried and tested method and no software is needed! Most laptops would have an infrared port though not all computers will- you can buy a seprate port for around £5...
Disadvantages; Infrared is incredibly slow and needs to be placed in line with the port at atleast 33 degrees. It also sucks up quite allot of battery!
Where can i get one from? You can get seperate bluetooth ports from almost anywhere! Shops such as PC world or ebay or even asda's now!!! It's better to get them of bigger shops so you can return if it doesn't work properly.

- Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology used to create PANs (Personal Area Networks) among your devices, and with other nearby devices.

Bluetooth allows you to leave your phone in your pocket, while talking on your phone with a Bluetooth headset - with no wires. You can also exchange contact or scheduling information with other Bluetooth-enabled phones nearby, or send such information to a nearby Bluetooth-enabled printer.

Another common use is to give your laptop computer or PDA wireless high-speed Internet access via Bluetooth and your phone.

Many newer automobiles also have Bluetooth, which can interface with a phone in a pocket, to allow automatic hands-free phone capability.

More innovative uses include playing a game against someone with a similar phone nearby, or using a special Bluetooth pen to send SMS messages by simply writing them on paper.

Bluetooth functionality is divided into separate types of connections known as "profiles". Each of the various scenarios outlined above involve a different profile. Not all Bluetooth devices support all profiles.

For example, most phones support the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles, for connecting the phones to headsets and car kits, respectively. But not all phones support the Object Exchange (OBEX) profiles, which let you transfer files (like photos) (FTP) and/or information (like contacts and events) (OPP) to and from other devices. Another profile supported by only some phones is Dial-Up Networking (DUN), which lets you connect a laptop or PDA to the Internet via the phone. Other optional profiles support connecting to printers (BPP), keyboards (HID), and stereo headphones (A2DP, AVRC).

Most Bluetooth phones are "class 2", which means the Bluetooth feature has a range of up to 30 feet. Class 1 phones (which are rare) can have a range of up to 300 feet.

Advantages; bluetooth is probarbly a good option as it is incredibly fast and easy to use. It does not have to be kept in line and most bluetooth ports can pick each other up from ranges upto 100m.
Disadvantages; they cost a little more (around £20). You usually need to install sofwares for bluetooth. NOTE; most of these are cheaply designed and are extremely hard to use. Also takes some battery power.
Where can i get one from? Most electrical online stores should sell a bluetooth port, so should pgone dealers and shops such as pc world. Make sure you don't get them of the streets coz most of the time they're DODGY!

- USB CABLE
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a type of plug-in connection that is used to connect devices, including some phones, to desktop or laptop computers. In a phone, USB is useful for quickly transferring files to and from phones, or for synchronizing address book and calendar information with a computer application such as Outlook.

The phone is typically recognized by the computer as an accessory, with the proper driver installed on the computer.

However, some phones support USB-Host (also called USB-OTG), which allows USB accessories to be connected directly to the phone, with no computer involved.

Advantages; leads are usually USB 2 and are incredibly fast. And since it's connected directly to your PC it takes more power from the PC rather than your phone! Infact with some phones thay get charged as your transferring images!
Disadvantages; A lead restricts your phone as you can not move it about as much. Also if your manuallly dragging and dropping your images, videos etc. It can be a bit of a pain locating them!
Where can i get one from? You should have got one with your actual phone. If you didn't take it back and make sure you get one of them. If you lose it you'll be able to buy another from online phone stores or any other pnone markets. It works out cheaper to get it woth your phone though.
