I tried to connect my Windows 7 computer to a Kyocera S2100 cell phone
\nvia USB data cable. Windows and the phone recognized that a connection
\nhad been made, indicated by beeps from each, but Windows put up a
\nmessage saying it could not find a driver. The phone does not show up
\nunder “Devices with removeable storage” in My Computer.<\/p>\n
One website says to go to Settings > Mode Settings on the phone and
\nselect “Mass Storage Mode”, but there is no “Mode Settings” on this phone.<\/p>\n
I asked Kyocera Technical Support if they had a driver, and the person there
\nreplied:<\/p>\n
> We would be more than glad to provide you the drivers for your
\n> Kyocera\/Sanyo phone, However, We are focused in our Kyocera smart
\n> phones at the moment, and the drivers for the featured phones have been
\n> discontinued.
\n>
\n> If you need to transfer information from a featured phone, what you can do
\n> is to get a special software that allows you to transfer information from any
\n> phone to a computer, or to another phone directly, you can get more
\n> information at: www.datapilot.com
\n>
\n> You can also try to go to a store from your service provider and ask them
\n> to transfer the phone’s information for you, since some stores have this
\n> software.
\n>
\n> We are really sorry for the inconveniences, we would appreciate your
\n> comprehension.<\/p>\n
What do you think I need to comprehend? The datapilot.com link is to
\npay programs. Were the drivers deleted from the web so that people
\nwould buy datapilot’s programs? Or what?<\/p>\n
Can I connect the phone to the PC via my snazzy new data cable?<\/p>\n
