How to connect a Realme smartphone to a computer

Sometimes you need to send important information from your PC to your phone or vice versa. But how do you connect your Realme smartphone to your computer and what do you need to do? In this article we will answer this question in detail and consider all popular ways of pairing.

Why synchronize your phone and computer

Чаще всего подключение требуется для обмена информации. После синхронизации пользователь получает доступ к хранилищу смартфона и может перебросить любые данные на жесткий диск, а также загрузить в память телефона материалы с компьютера.

Следующая ситуация, в которой не обойтись без подключения к ПК – это проведение важных системных операций. Например, перепрошивка мобильного устройства, установка кастомного рекавери, получение рут-прав, восстановление «кирпича».

Basic connection types

There are three methods of synchronization:

• через USB-кабель – проводное подключение;
• via Bluetooth - wireless connection;
• по Wi-Fi – беспроводное подключение.

In the first case, a USB cable is required. It is better to use a factory cable. The wireless methods require only a smartphone and a computer.

Instructions for connecting Realmi to a PC

Below are detailed instructions on how to connect your Realme phone to your computer. To pair via USB you need to perform preparatory procedures. Do not skip these steps, otherwise the computer will not recognize the device.

Via USB cable

The method is used to transfer large amounts of information and conduct system operations.

Step 1: enabling debugging

Прежде всего активируем отладку по USB. Инструкция есть здесь. Пункт с отладкой находится в режиме для разработчиков.

Step 2: Install drivers

Драйвера нужны для того, чтобы ПК обнаружил смартфон. На Windows 10 они обычно устанавливаются автоматически во время первого подключения. Но в некоторых случаях требуется вмешательство пользователя.

Download PC drivers for Realme

Чтобы скачать USB Drivers нажмите по кнопке выше. Это универсальные драйвера, которые подходят для всех моделей Realme.

Let's talk briefly about installing drivers:

1. Extract the downloaded archive to your hard drive.
2. Connect your smartphone to your computer via USB cable. Before doing so, be sure to activate debugging.
3. On the PC, go to "Control Panel" - "Device Manager".
4. Under "Handheld Devices" look for "Android". If there is a yellow triangular icon at the bottom, there are no drivers.
5. Right-click on "Android" and select "Update drivers"..
6. In the installer, click "Search for drivers on this computer". Using Explorer, specify the path to the previously unpacked folder with the drivers.
   
7. Click "Next". After installation is complete, restart your computer. Now your phone should be detected.

If you have Windows 10 - the system can automatically install all the drivers from its database. But if not, follow these instructions.

Step 3: Connecting

Take your mobile device and connect it to the socket on your computer with a wire. On the smartphone, allow the connection and choose a configuration: file transfer or photo transfer. In the first case, you can exchange any information, in the second - only images. If the synchronization is successful, you can enter the memory of your smartphone through your computer's file explorer.

With Bluetooth

This is a fast method that does not require wires. The only point is that large files will take a very long time to transfer. Also note that this pairing is only relevant for laptops that have a Bluetooth module. Owners of desktop computers need to purchase a separate adapter.

1. Turning on Bluetooth on your mobile device.
2. On the control panel, click on the blue square with a trident and select "Adding a device. Bluetooth".
   
3. At the top, click on the gray plus sign. Now tap on the first line "Bluetooth. Mice, keyboards, pens or audio and other types of devices".
   
4. In the menu that appears, look for the name of your phone.
   
5. A verification code will appear, which must be the same as the one that comes to your smartphone. If all digits are the same, click "Connect.". The following message will appear: "The device is ready for use".
   

Pairing is complete. Now to send/receive files via Bluetooth just click on the appropriate command in the menu.

Подключить Realme к ПК с помощью Wi-Fi уже труднее. Здесь потребуется скачивание и установка стороннего приложений. Мы рекомендуем использовать FTP Сервер, Total Commander или File Explorer. Рассмотрим процесс синхронизации на примере FM.

1. Connect your smartphone and computer to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Download the program from Google Play.
3. Launch File Explorer and grant the requested access.
4. Clicking in the upper left corner, we open the side menu. We are interested in "FTP-server.".
5. In the "Configuration" section, specify the user name (any) and, if desired, set a password. Click on the top line so that it changes to "Running".
   
6. На компьютере открываем проводник, и в верхней строке тапаем «Изменить адрес». Вводим адрес, который указан под пунктом «URL» в приложении FM.
7. If everything is done correctly, the PC will display folders from the phone that can be managed.
