    How do I transfer pictures from a Bluetooth to my computer?

    I use a cable that fits the phone with a USB on the other end. Plug it in, and your PC should recognize it. Then follow on screen directions to DL to PC. I've had too much trouble trying to DL to my PC using only Bluetooth. The cable way only takes a few minutes and is more intuitive.
