i can't install the PC companion 2.00.146. i already downloaded it but when its time to install it it says "Error Number: 0x80040707. Description: DDL function call crashed: NewUI.ISGlobalSubclassDialog." i already downloaded it 5 times assuming that maybe the PC companion was not downloaded properly but again the same problem occurs.
I cannot install PC companion from either of two laptops - am just getting "404 - not found". Might this be a security/firewall problem? I am running Kaspersky anti-virus plus Tune-up Utilities.
I'm using the PC Companion for a while now and since a couple of days I receive the message that a new version is available (2.10.027). The program automatically starts update after a few seconds, but it fails each time and the program shuts down. I tried uninstalling PC Companion and after reboot downloading & installing version 2.10.027, but this fails as well. Does anybody know how to overcome this and install new version or how to disable automatic updating?
I have just formatted my laptop and installed win-7 64 bit , Now I want to install PC Companion on it what I should do for it. I have ICS in my mobile.
MY x10 mini pro will not install PC Companion to my Pc running Windows XP.The intstallation runs but each time it will return to the beginning screen.How do I install this on my PC?
But from couple of days if I connect my phone to pc with usb cable , PC companion is not detecting the phone when phone is in media transfer mode. Earlier it was perfectly working and I was able to access sd card data from phone and from pc as well at the same time. Also pc companion shows proper details and also shows it is running latest software.Not all is gone, if i connect with media tranfer mode, it doesn't detect anything. If change it to mass storage mode, it is unmounting from phone and showing as "Phone memory".I have tried following in mobile
1) settings-> manage apps -> created MTSapp cache
2) rebooted phone "N" number of time and tried connection.
3) removed data from phone (the message pc companion shows there is more data on phone and it will take time). but didn't work even after deleting my music, pics etc...
In my pc: re-installed everyting pc companion latest version.Nothing worked for media tranfer mode. Even it is not charging battery too when connected to phone.Is there anything left to test SONY device and software?
For MONTHS I have been unable to back up my phone using PC Companion. Also for past 2-3 days, I keep getting an prompt to tranfser data from phone to SD card, popping up every few hours and it's doing my head in.
I'm going away and would like to back up my photos and transfer them to my PC and have a clear photo album...but how do I do it.
I am unable to connect phone in PC companion mode. in phone it says its connected in Media transfer mode but in the PC companion it says no phone connected. what could be the case? I reinstalled PC companion by downloading the software from the ericsson site but its still the same.
i got the update notification for xperia x10 few days back, i quickily connected it to pc using pc companion and took the backup, then i started the update process, it reached till prepared, and after that it started initialization, but here the problem started. it was showing the initialization for 4 hours, i thought may be it hanged so i stopped it and disconnected the phone and restarted the update process, same thing happened this time. the progress bar doesnt show any progress after initialization, it showed 100% in initialization after some 4 hours but after tht nothing happened.
i dont knw the problem, it can't be network problem, as i have a 1mbps connection and i checked the speed also before starting the update, i kept the update process as it is for 10 hours, but it still didnt show any progress from the last time.
I installed PC companion and tried accessing the device through PC companion but the phone is not gettting detected in MTP mode (MSC mode working fine). Tried rebooting the system and phone as well still no luck.
I want to update my Xperia Play to version 3.0.1.A.0.146, but PC Companion 2.0 wont let me. I change my phone to 'mediaoverdracht modus' ( it's in dutch, i don't know the english word ). It's the modus that is required for updating your phone, and it's step 3. But it fails every single time. PC Companion keeps saying it is unable to connect to my PLAY. No errorcode or nothing, it just gives the advice to reconnect my phone to the PC.
I received a message on my XPeria Mini Pro about the 4.1.B.0.587 Update. In fact, I can not install it. When I start the PC Companion software, it finds the connected Phone. Then I click on update. In the following window I click "Accept" and then the software should prepare the PC for the update. But after one second it stops and returns to Start without any comment. When I start Sony Mobile Update Service then it checks for new updates. As soon as the check is over, the program terminates without any comment. Is there a third way to upgrade?
My config: PC with AMD, Windows 7 64 Bit, 16GB RAM
I am unable to pair my Z2 phone to pc companion anymore. Steps that lead to this:
1. SETUP a working connection to PC (both USB and WIFI) 2. Reset phone to factory settings. 3. Retried to setup the connections 4. Connection via USB works (pc companion recognizes my phone) 5. CANNOT SETUP CONNECTION VIA WIFI
The PC does not appear anymore under XPERIA CONNECTIVTY > USB CONNECTIVITY (even though it is connected via USB). When I try to setup the WIFI Connection it says that my pc is already paired... but it does NOT appear in the list. Only option I have is Pair with PC.
I have a problem when i try to connect my z5 compact to pc companion using wifi. it said " can not connect to pc companion using wifi " when i try pairing my old xperia ZL it works without any problem. and then i noticed that there is no option for wireless media transfer in connectivity menu.
Here is my z5 compact screenshot
and then compare it with my old xperia ZL
what should i do? i don't want to use usb cable every time i need to connect to my pc...
I bought a new SE Xperia Mini Pro, which gave me the option to upgrade my Android OS to ICS.I have installed Sony Companion, clicked on > Phone software Update > Start
Get the message
"Server not Accessiable" This has been going on for 24 hours.. I'm thinking it maybe my machine that has the problem.
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.
How many users have lost the feature to connect to PC wirelessly after ICS upgrade?My phone's (Xperia mini pro) SI : 1249-0751 Android version 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
The Sony PC Companion has started showing that an update is available for my xperia pro as soon as i connect it. I happily selected the update option and on the first attempt it downloaded the update which took more than 10 mins in my case. Then it reboots the phone in the flash mode i believe and when it's time to install the update, simply comes out with an error that no update is available for your phone.
when i install the media go software it shows an error named "install microsoft windows media format 11 runtime" and after i found it and installed it it's again showing the same message
Few days back I message poped up on my X10i phone that new software available. I check it on SUES and it said new software 2.1 is awailable. So I started download with SUES........files downloaded and installation started on but just after around 2% installation it stopped and an error message came up that " Installation was not successful. Please check your phone battery, make sure that it is atleast 50% charged and try again" and then when i boot my phone it just give the exclaimation mark on the start and hangs there. Although the battery was already charged to 100%.
My friend just bought XPEIRA Z2. was able to instal apk's before, now suddenly can't install. Whenever he tries to install, he's unable to click "INSTALL"
Don't have SCREEN FILTER APPS. I've told him to enable unknown resources or uninstall ANTIVIRUS apps, still can't fix it...
Purchased the Xperia Mini Pro today, eager to get to grips but as soon as i'd done the basic settings i'm told there is a new software update. After recently upgrading from the X10 Mini Pro, i am well aware on how to update the software using PC Companion.However, this update is proving difficult. Once i follow the steps provided and get to the 'Phone Software Update' window, with the four steps (Start, Prepare, Update, Finish) I'm stranded at step 2. The whole 'unplug the USB from the phone and computer' steps are proving useless, nothing is happening. I've tried seven times with intervals, and many reboots of my phone, none of which have proved successful. Anyone able to tell me what i may be doing wrong or is there a current problem installing the software for everyone?
I have checked unknown sources. Still i am not able to intall non market apps... i upgraded firmware to.587 from then i am facing this. I wont be able to tap on install button once i open apk file.. But cancel button works very fine... BTW my device is not rooted
I tried to update my sony xperia neo V today several times. but again and again I get an error msg "Unable to install or start phone software update components." even tried to reinstall sony pc companion but it doesn't work.I am already install the UPDATE SERVICE (SUS)
