Pancake Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I need to print some photos that i took on my phone for college, but i don't know how! I thought i'd be able to go online with my phone and then upload the pics somewhere, and then save them to my computer and print them out that way. But my phone contract doesn't include internet (i thought i could still go on, and just be charged extra on top of my usual bill, but my phone isn't letting me). My phone doesn't seem to have a memory card slot, so that doesn't seem to be an option, i dunno! I just really need the pics for a consultation form at college! I did try using a proper camera first, but the shots always came out blurry and it's an awful cam to get a clear shot from, so that's why i had to resort to my phone. Can anyone help??
Shorty Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 What model phone is it? Usually you can get a USB cable for your phone, or do you have access to a modern laptop with bluetooth built in?
Pancake Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 It's an LG Golf C360. It's a really terrible phone. It doesn't appear to have a USB socket. It only has a socket for charging. I have a modern laptop, but i don't think it has any Bluetooth installed!
Magnus Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Send them to someone who can upload them for you? No idea if that would work. My phone can't even display pictures.
Cube Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 It only has a socket for charging. Most phones use the same socket for charging and USB cables.
Pancake Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Send them to someone who can upload them for you? No idea if that would work. My phone can't even display pictures. My phone doesn't let me send picture messages. Told you it was crap! (though not quite as bad as yours??) Most phones use the same socket for charging and USB cables. Oh rly? So i just need to buy a special USB cable for mobiles?
Cube Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-SDY0014401-compatible-Viewty-Chocolate/dp/B0032R6L56/ref=pd_cp_ce_1 That's a standard LG one, but unfortunately I have no idea if it's compatible with yours. Although, on this page, it says your phone takes microUSB memory cards. Have you looked behind the battery or near where the sim card goes?
Pancake Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Ah yeah, i just took the back cover off and there's a card slot in there. What a stupid place for it! Oh well i guess i could transfer the pics on to a memory card then. But then i won't be able to use a micro memory card in a laptop will i?
Retro_Link Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 You'll most likely need a Mirco SD Card reader http://www.amazon.co.uk/Usb-Adapter-Micro-Card-Supports/dp/B001U7R1CM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325098956&sr=8-2
Shorty Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yep sounds like a micro sd card and an adaptor are the solution you need, although if the phone is old it may take a non-standard card. Are you sure you don't have a USB cable in the box?
Pancake Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks guys, i think maybe i've sloved the prob. For some random reason my phone is suddenly letting me send pic messages, so i'm gonna send the pics to a friend and ask them to e-mail them back to me. Sorted! (i hope).
