Hello,

Can you please give us more information regarding this issue?

Are you trying to connect the cellphone to your computer? If so, when you bought the phone, it comes with the PC suite CD and you can use that to be able to install the software on your PC.

Although almost all phones now can act as USB storage, you just have to use it in USB MODE instead of the generic PC connection option.

Try this link.

Look under: "Transfer Multimedia"

It goes into storage mode you say? So the screen on the phone goes white with black text?

When you get this black on white screen, click "My Computer" and you should see your phone display as "MS DEVICE" along with your hard drive(s). It might take up to a minute to appear so give it time. Click it, and you should be into your phone, where you can copy pics from your phone to your PC. You can also transfer short compressed mp3 ringtones from your PC to your phone, and transfer images from your PC to your phone to use as wallpaper and/or screensavers.

Make sure the phone is switched on at the "home screen" with the flip open.

Connect the phone directly to a USB socket on your computer.

When the phone displays "Connect phone as external storage device" select "yes" & wait until the screen on your phone goes white.

On your PC, go to My Computer & select the new item MS DEVICE. Click on pictures - here you will see your photos & you can drag & drop them to your chosen location on your computer.

STOP RIGHT NOW!

If you're with Net10, you should know that Net10 have disabled USB storage mode for the W375. So the only use for the USB connection is USB charging (for which you need the driver from the Motorola website).

thank to raysagem......when i click the "yes" in screen to become storage cellphone in my w375 it works....thanks again

You do not need to install anything, unless you want to be able to charge your phone by connecting it to your computer's USB port. If you want to do this, you can get the driver here:

You don't need this driver to upload photos or to put small mp3s on your phone from your computer, just make sure your phone is on, showing the home screen with the flip open, then connect your phone directly to your PC (not through a hub). When it asks if you want to use connect as external storage, press yes & wait until the screen goes white on the phone, then go to MY COMPUTER & click MS DEVICE. You can now see the phone's folders. But the memory on the w375 is tiny & you can't expand it, so the only point in putting mp3s on your phone is if you want to use them as ringtones.

Are you connecting your phone as a Mass Storage Device?

1. From the home screen, attach one end of the Motorola Original Enhanced USB cable to your phone and the other end to a USB port on your computer.
2. On your phone, press Yes to use the phone as a portable USB storage device.
   Note: When connected as a storage device the phone cannot perform regular phone activities. Disconnect to resume normal operation.
3. On the PC, open the My Computer window and find where your phone displays as a Mass Storage icon.
   Double click the Mass Storage Device icon.
4. Drag and drop files between your computer and phone.
5. When finished, remove the phone safely from your computer. Right click the "Safely Remove Hardware"
   icon at the bottom of your computer screen, then select "USB Mass Storage Device" and click Stop.
6. Select USB Mass Storage Device and click OK.
   Now it is safe to disconnect the cable. When the cable is disconnected, the phone restarts
