Another question from thickie me

The prone shows up in "disk" when I connect it to my pc via usb but I cannot download from it or find any software that would allow me to do this. my pc is using Mint 14, any ideas on a way of downloading from it via usb?

Thanks

My Galaxy Notes uses MFT as a disk format - I think that's pretty standard for Galaxys.

You need to check if Mint has that support. Older Ubuntus needed an extra package installed but 12.10+ had it as standard.

Having said that, with my phone, I need to switch on Developer USB support (in Settings) for it to be picked up as something I can read/write to - it didn't used to, but some update over the last few months has caused the change.

I tend to use AirDroid for most transfers.
