with the samsung s275 follow the answer of mr grindale, you'll have to wait several minutes with the phone lid closed, eventually, you will see the folder from your phone appearing on your computer,,,,

then what after media transfer only.   how do you get it to transfer

I'd like an answer to this question as well. I have it set up like this but I'm not seeing the device, even though the phone says it's "connected"

Do you have any words of wisdom for when no photos show up to be transferred? Thanks!

Yes, the Samsung S275 can be connected to a computer using a USB cable. You just need to set USB mode to 'Media Transfer Only'.

From the idle screen, press Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Personalize ➔ Phone settings ➔ USB Mode ➔ Media Transfer Only.
