The USB charging cable seems that it is for charging only.
I plugged it in the XP PC but nothing showed up in Windows Explorer with that
wire, but the USB wire for my earlier 3G phone showed up O.K. when I have used
it.
Microsoft Support article that I read long ago said USB connections weren't
available for Android.
