Connect Torrent Lumia 520 to PC via USB. Connecting Nokia Lumia to a computer

Nokia Lumia smartphones are a new generation of phones with a stylish design and a wide range of capabilities. Gadget owners always strive to fill it with various useful information. When you can’t access the Internet and need to copy files from your computer. Today there are many programs on the Internet that allow you to manage files on your phone through a computer. We will discuss below how to connect them and what is required for this.

To connect the gadget to a PC, you must first install the driver. For Lumiya, when you turn on the phone via a USB cable, the Zune program is automatically installed on your computer. If the driver could not be installed automatically, then go to the official Xbox website, download this program there, and after downloading, install it on your computer.

The Zune program gives its users the ability to do the following:

• Using a smartphone memory card as a storage device.
• Sync data from computer to phone.
• Manage multimedia files on your gadget.
• Using paid and free applications on the Zune Marketplace.

The program is easy to use. Even a beginner can easily understand it.

We found out what software we need. Now all that remains is to figure out how to properly connect your smartphone and get started.

Connecting Nokia Lumia to PC

To connect your smartphone, we need a USB cable, which is included in the kit. Before connecting the device, we need to configure the program so that the phone can connect to the device (this is done only if it was not possible to install the driver automatically).

Algorithm of actions:

1. Press two keys on the keyboard: Windows icon + R.
2. A search bar should appear on the screen, enter regedit into it.
3. We have a folder with files, select “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”, then go to “SYSTEM - USB”.
4. After the transition, press two keys on the keyboard: CTRL + F.
5. A search bar appears, point to ZuneDriver and press the search key.
6. We save the specified parameters.

After these steps, you can safely connect the gadget. After pairing the smartphone and computer, open the program. A window with folders will appear on the monitor. All files that are on the device will be visible there.

After finishing work, you need to close the program and click “Safely Remove Hardware” on the bottom panel of the screen.

Connection via USB cable

If you were unable to install a special program, but you still need to connect your phone. This can be done using a USB cable. This does not require a special program. On Windows 7 and 8, the driver is installed automatically.

Algorithm of actions:

1. We insert one end of the cable into the gadget, the other into the computer connector.
2. The driver starts automatically.
3. In the window that appears, indicate the phone name and make the necessary standard settings.
4. Go to the “Collection” section.
5. The folder with all the files is highlighted, then select what needs to be done (copy, move, delete files).

Wireless Sync

Constantly connecting a smartphone via a cable to a PC is not always convenient or possible. Therefore, if you have WiFi, you can do synchronization, which will significantly save time. To do this you need:

• Go to Zune and open settings.
• Find the item “Phone” and then “Wireless synchronization”.
• We choose how often the operation should be performed.
• We confirm the action.

Once all actions have been confirmed, there is no need to repeat them. This operation is useful for those users who do not want to deal with a USB cable and the Zune program. You can connect your smartphone to any operating system.

However, for synchronization to work, the owner must have a Windows Live account. Only in this case the operation is possible.

If you can't create an account, then just use cable. You can transfer files via a USB cable to a computer without an account. The main thing is that the software is installed and working.

Option 1: You can use the Zune computer program to connect your computer to your phone via a USB cable or wireless network.

With Zune you can:

Content includes music, photos, videos, movies, and podcasts on your computer that you can copy to your phone. Update your phone software and back up your content.

Set up a wireless sync connection between your phone and the Zune app to sync music, videos, photos, and podcasts over a wireless network. To download and install the Zune software or learn more about Zune, visit xbox.com/live/zune.

Articles and Lifehacks

The Nokia Lumia phone can be classified as a new generation of smartphones. Its lucky owner will certainly immediately appreciate the attractive design and versatility of this device.

However, when a user tries to connect a smartphone to a computer or laptop for the very first time, he most often encounters a small problem that is well known to all iPhone owners: the PC does not recognize Nokia Lumia as a USB drive. As a result, synchronizing all data becomes possible only after installing special software, and this procedure takes a sufficient amount of time.

However, there is one way that will help save precious minutes, especially when it comes to transferring a single video or photo to your computer.

How to speed up Nokia Lumia connection to PC?

There is a very simple way to ensure that your computer or laptop recognizes your mobile device as a USB drive.

First of all, you should make sure that a working operating system is installed on your PC, with all the appropriate drivers. Only a correctly working OS is able to recognize various flash drives and drives.

In addition, the USB cable must also be in good condition. The same goes for your mobile device.

Instructions for connecting Nokia Lumia as a USB drive

Connecting Nokia Lumia as a USB drive necessarily includes a free preliminary download from the official website and installation of the Zune program.

Such software will help the user organize his collection of images, music and videos. In addition, he will be able to select exactly the files that need to be synced and download media from the store.

So, first of all, you should download and install the Zune program, and then restart your PC.

After this, the user should type the following combination on the keyboard: “Windows” key + “R”, or click the “Start” → “Run” button. A line will open in which you enter the “regedit” command.

The Registry Editor window will then appear where the user finds “Hkey Local Machine” and clicks on that option. Then it moves as follows: “System” → “Current Control Set” → “Enum” → “USB”.

It is on the “USB” subsection that you will need to stop. Here the user presses the combination Ctrl + F and enters “Zune Driver” → Enter (or “Find”) into the search window.

A folder called “Device Parameters” should appear on the left side of File Explorer. After clicking on it, a lot of files appear, which, however, are not worth paying attention to temporarily.

Next, in the column on the right side, you need to find the “Enable Legacy Support” option. Right-click on it and select “Edit”. Change the digital value from “0” to “1”. The same must be done with the “Show In Shell” option, and before that, change “1” to “0” in the “Portable Device Name Space Exclude From Shell” file.

The next step is to disconnect and reconnect your mobile device. Now the smartphone should be recognized by the computer as a regular flash drive and you can even.

Attention! This method is only suitable for copying videos and photos to a PC. To copy music, you will need to work consistently with the Zune synchronization program.
