Mobile phone owners are constantly faced with various problems. One of them is that the computer does not see Nokia phones. There are several ways to help you deal with a nuisance.
The phone does not connect to the computer
Why can't Nokia phone owners connect their phone to their computer? There can be many options - for example, the phone often fell, dropped into a puddle, or got wet in the rain. A faulty cord or plug is also common. In the case of a USB cable, you can easily test it by connecting the phone with a different cable. And if the connector is faulty, then there is only one option - contact the service center.
There is also a situation when, when the phone is connected to a computer, the device reacts, but the computer does not. The phone most likely "senses" that it is possible to charge through the USB connector and turns on this mode. And the computer, in turn, sees only the consumer in it, but does not see the device itself.
In this case, there are several options for solving the problem. The first is to install drivers on your phone. They are usually found on the disc that comes with the phone, or on the manufacturer's official website. The second option is to install NokiaPCSuite on your computer so that your computer can recognize your device. The program is also available on the installation disc.
Tips for Solving Phone Connection Problems
So, if your computer cannot recognize your Nokia phone when connected via a USB cable, there are several universal methods that can help you solve this problem.
First, you need to make sure that you are using a proprietary Nokia USB cable and that the cable is properly connected to both your computer and your phone. Sometimes it helps to turn off the cell phone and turn it back on. You can also try removing the battery from your phone and then reinstalling it to reboot. Alternatively, you can restart your computer.
If possible, you need to check the connection of the phone on another computer. Thus, you can understand where the problem lies - in the phone or in your computer.
The NokiaSuite application must also be installed on your computer. Make sure you are using the latest version of this software (you can check for updates through the NokiaSuite software update menu). Even if everything is fine - sometimes a complete reinstallation of the application helps.
Nokia devices have different connection modes that you can experiment with - mass storage mode, media transfer mode, and more.
If all else fails, restore the factory settings in the phone. This should definitely solve the problem of connecting to a computer.
