Tech help for Samsung Galaxy S2

I cant seem to transfer my photos from my phone to the computer anymore with out the computer going through the whole of my phone for every single image on my phone ie all the images on the zedge app I have for wallpapers. It never used to do this it just used to copy my camera images. Any help appreciated,

    Are you using Kies? If so, forget about it... Just put your phone in mass storage (USB mode), connect with the cable, and drag & drop the pics from your phone to your computer.

    Edit: slightly different but there are also a number of apps available in the market to sync folders automatically between your phone and computer via WiFi

    ditto the above

    In other Android smartphones when you plug it to PC USB it will automatically came up and show and menu settings that asking you what you wanted to do, on Samsung Galaxy S II it this is not gonna happen until you enable the Phone into "USB Debugging Mode"

    Here's how to set your Galaxy S II into Mass Storage Mode Option:

    - On Main Home Screen tap Menu > Settings > Application
    - Enable USB Debugging
    - Return to Home Screen
    - Then plug the USB cable into your Galaxy S2
    - Pull down status bar
    - Press ' Connect USB Storage' button

    Aternative way without USB Debugging
    - Go to Settings > Wireless & Network
    - USB utilities and click the button >
    - then plug in USB cable

  • I used Photobucket as it automatically uploads the photo as soon as you take it which is rather handy!
