    Default How to get photos off of flip phone.

    Ok guys... getting really flustered here.

    My fiancee's parents have photos on a Alcatel Go flip phone (burner phone from US). They want the photos onto a memory stick.

    Using the supplied USB cable, I plug the device into the USB socket. The phone battery icon changes to 'charging' status... but no device appears on my computer. I'm using Windows 10.

    The work around I've come up with is... connect phone to wi-fi, set up email, email pics to myself, save to desktop folder, move to thumb drive. HOWEVER, this fucking phone only allows me to send 10 pics at a time. If I 'SELECT ALL' photos and try to email, it gives me an error saying attachment size too large. I'll be here for hours doing this. There are a ton of pics.

    Any help getting the computer to recognize there is a phone attached to it?

    Unfortunately, I have toggled that back and forth. The computer still doesn't recognize that it's there.

    Looks like it's just a micro USB cable
    Did you try a different one? There are some cables designed for charge only / no data transfer.

    Check the phone menu settings - the 'data transfer' or 'pc connect' might need to be manually enabled.

    Fuck yah!! You're a god damn genius jw! haha. I tried the USB cable from my Sena and it worked perfectly! All photos are now on my computer. Took like 5 seconds. Weird that the supplied USB doesn't have data transfer.

    Its a weird thing with usb cables.

    Some charge. Some are data. Some are both.

    I have like 5 different cables for doing different things.
