Sony Xperia Active Doesn't Connect To PC When In USB-Debugging
Nov 12, 2010
I don't know why, but the xperia active is bugging me. When I connect the phone with USB-Debugging turned off everything works fine. The PC Companion software and Windows explorer recognize the device, but when I turn on USB-Debugging (which I need because I want to test my self-programmed Android apps) the device gets disconnected instantly and I cannot select it as a target device for debugging in Eclipse.In the device manager of Windows under "Other devices" there's an entry labeled "ST17i" which seems to be the phone, but there's the yellow warning icon which indicates that no driver is installed. However, when I right-click and choose to update the driver, Windows doesn't find any driver online.I even looked for a driver here url... but apparently there's no driver for the xperia active.The Android Version is 4.0.4 (got the phone today and updated it) and my PC OS is Windows 7

Finally the ICS update has become available for my phone (SI 1253-7151) -PC Companion pops up a message about the new update. If I click "Update", PC Companion starts downloading the update, finishes the download and says "Preparing computer for program updates".
Then it proceeds to "Unable to install or start components for update of phone system" and my phone does not get updated.Then I have tried Sony Update Service, but now I can't even start it properly; the program crashes right after opening it. It just says "Synchronizing" and then "An unexpected error has occured. The application will shut down." so I never get any possibility to see why.Again, my phone does not get updated. Since both programs crash there must be a serious problem with the downloaded files (and they're probably shared between the programs?).Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it; I can see in a Norwegian forum that other people have the same problem - and in the original thread that you have hidden (!).
PS. The original thread was not mine; I just replied to it since I had the exact same problem. Regarding the new "moderation strategy" I believe that the above question is not rude, it's not spam - and reposting the question is necessary when the issue has not been resolved and the original thread has disappeared..

How many different SIs does the Sony Xperia Active have? I have been waiting for months for the ICS upgrade but still nothing has come? According to this disussion thread url... it seems that some of the SIs on the list is getting the next update (.587) while mine still does not have the 1st update? Will my SI ever get an ICS update? It doesn't seem that Sony is adding new SIs to this list.

Using either endomondo or navigation (the one who comes with the phone), both working fine before updating, now refuses to get gps. Message: searching for satellites. Not once found them. What's wrong? Yes, GPS is activated in settings.

On Xperia Active: Wi-Fi turned ON but never got to connect to Wi-Fi (both home and public). It's either endlessly "Scanning..." or a loop of "Scanning, Connecting, Disconnected". I just got my unit today and really hasn't done much with it since unboxing. My iPhone connects well to Wi-Fi, placed side-by-side the Xperia Active, at home and in public place.

I have an app, Activity Classifier, that uses the handset accelerometers to provide information on activities and total exercise. It automates exercise tracking, classifies activities by type and quantifies aerobic intensity. Live data streamed from an Xperia Arc using the app is displayed in a blog. While it is possible to use on the Active it is unfortunately more difficult on the Active than the Arc because the Active accelerometers have a fault that is hard to get around. The problem is that the accelerometers sometimes take quite a while to start sampling when either started or the sampling frequency is changed.Occasionally it can take longer than 90 seconds. The problem can be seen with the app Accelerometer Frequency. Switch between sampling frequencies and notice that sometimes it switches instantly and sometimes it doesn't. To minimise battery consumption Activity Classifier acquires data from the accelerometers for 6 seconds out of every 30. If no other app is using the accelerometers they will start and stop every sampling period. On the Active they frequently don't start and the app detects a faulty accelerometer. The app has an option to keep accelerometers on and if this is selected it will work OK but battery consumption goes up a lot. The Active comes with a pedometer app called Walkmate. I can see from the Accelerometer Frequency app that Walkmate keeps the acclerometers running at 50 Hz and running Walkmate at the same time as Activity Classifier will make Activity Classifier work OK as well. Walkmate seems pretty power efficient and uses less than half the power of the market leading pedometer app Accupedo, run in power balanced mode, but it counts a different number of steps.

Led on, camera sound goes and then the screen goes blank and unresponsive. Battery needs to come out before the phone will turn on again!

When I woke up this morning my phone was turned off so I try to turn it on by holding the power button, it only flashes the LED (red) 3 times between short pauses, no vibrations then stays turned off.Next, I tried to plug the charger in then holding the power button. still the same symptoms as above.Lastly, I tried plugging the charger / connector to my laptop then plugging the phone in. When I did that, the red LED shows 1 blink on intervals as opposed from the 3 blinks above.I know I still have my warranty but I want at least try and fix it because I don't like going out on weekends (the days of the week where I get to rest) so I'd rather try a fix here at home.

The point is that nothing happens when the synchronization completes No new contacs on my online account, no changes on my phone.
The account is well configured and the sync starts and ends "fine".

My Sony Ericsson x10 Mini Pro doesn't start up! The past few days, when I used the keyboard to type, the screen will have some problem then hang. And it will always auto off. But there is no problem to on. Now, I cannot even on it! It only flashes black light but the word 'sony ericsson' was not showed just like the past. I am sure there is still battery inside as I charged it the day before.

My phone simply doesn't connect to my PC. It doesn't even charge. It's like it isn't connected. Already tried to connect to other computers, and it worked. Also tried to connect other devices to my PC, and they worked. Another thing that I noticed is that when I start my computer, the phone recognizes the connection and starts to charge, but as soon as Windows starts, the connection is lost, like if the USB cable was disconnected. Still, when I disconnect and reconnect the cable, the PC Companion acts like if a device was connected to the computer and tries to find the phone, but fails. I have Windows 7, if it matters.

Earlier today after I woke up, I was just gonna check something on my phone, when I was met with several errors saying that this and that programmed had stopped working. I chose the option "ok" on all of them because the other option report would not really get me anywhere. The thing was these errors kept coming repeating themselves (same apps getting errors repeatedly).
So after 10 min of just pressing ok on these errors I decided to reboot my phone, but when I came to the startup it stops/freezes on the SONY EXPERIA display. I can't trun it off with the on/off button, so I searched everywhere on the internet about this issue but none of the classic hold volume down + volume up + on/off button to turn it off gets me past the freeze after it goes off.

Mobile data having priority over wifi in some scenarios on Z5 Compact?
Phone is fully charged. None of the power saving options are enabled. Keep wifi on during sleep is enabled.
Phone is somewhere away from wifi in use with mobile data.
Phone becomes in range of a known wifi device whilst not in use.
After any amount of time, phone is used.
Mobile data is still in use and wifi is only switched to at the point the screen turns on.

I have a Sony Ericsson watch type DGA 0002001 which could be used for blue tooth connection with other mobile telephones. It worked very good with my old telephone K550I. I could see and feel if I had a massage or telephone while the phone itselves was in a bag or else. Even I could use the music player by pressing knots on my watch. All this I cannot use anymore?

I am not able to Connect my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 min pro through PC Companion either by USB or by Bluetooth. I tried all the permutations and combinations suggested by Sony Ericsson support pages, yet no resort.
However, stragenly I was able to upgrade from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1 through PC Companion (though PC Companion refuses to detect). Now my handset say there are updates available and to be updated through PC Companion. However, this time PC Companion is not bending in any direction to support me.
