Power Only

I noticed that I didn't have a song I wanted to listen to on my phone.

Then I discovered that I did have the file on my phone, but it was DRM locked from iTunes.  You can't have iTunes on an Android phone.

No problem!

Buy the song, again, from Amazon, in a DRM-free mp3 format.

Plug in the phone to transfer the file.

No little notice asking if I wanna change from charge only to file transfer.

Mutter under breath...

This is the first time I've tried to do this since getting the Samsung, so maybe a default setting is wrong.

Search the search engines for answers.  Find them.  Change settings.

Plug in phone.

Nothing.

Get frustrated.

Realize that I might have a charger only cord plugged in.

Try different cord.

Get the expected notice asking if I wanna change from charge only to file transfer.

Move song from computer to phone.

In fact, I deleted the contents of the music folder on the phone and replaced it with the music folder on the computer, just to make sure I have all my tunes again.
