I have a Z2 and the latest software update arrived yesterday and I want to update my phone but pc companion can't recognize my phone and I have tried all of the following instructions that it gave me but still nothing!
When I connect my phone with my pc via pc software "PC Companion", it did not recognise my device, driver MTP didnt install in pc.how can i connect with pc companion.
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?
so i got the notification on the new software update nd it says connet to a pc to recieve it. then u get told to download this pc companion. so i have done. then i notice it says no phone connected. so i click how to connect i then get to stage two and it says connect usb cable to your computer and then to your phone so i do that and nothing happens. i wait 30 seconds and nothing happens i disconect my phone and connect it again and still nothing happens all its doing is charging my phone. i've done it over and over again and nothing happens.
I can't connect my X10 mini pro with PC Companion although I tried all the steps and supports instruction (reconnect the USB plug, tunrn off then turn on the phone, uninstall then reinstall the PC Companion, etc...). It appeared (a thousand times) "No phone connected".
After trying many times and after disabling the AV program I could install the Android 2.1.I installed some free apps from the android market.Now when I try to connect the phone through PC Companion, the phone is restarting several times and I cant do any file management in the sd card
I tried connectiong my xperia play R800i to pc companion via wifi, followed the steps and everything but when it tells me to tap my pc name under connectivity settings/ trusted devices for wireless media transfer it's greyed out? Im running windows 7 x64 by the way and my phone has v2.3.4
i checked on the sony website, they say ics update for xperia mini is available but when i connect to pc companion or update service, it says you phone already has the latest software but it has GB, please tell me how to fix it.
Trying to connect PC Companin via Bluetooth i get to the point where I enter a four digit code on the phone, then immediately recieving a message on my computer that connecting thrue bluetooth is not possible, then urging me to use the USB cable. Bluetooth is activated on both items. I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop.
my problem is that it does connect with PC companion with USB, but not with bluetooth.It does get paired, the pc sees the phone, correct name, gives me the 4 digit code, and put them in the phone, but when I put in the phone, it seems ok, until PC Companion just says I cannot connect via BT, and tells me to try with USB cable.Why would I try with BT, for any other reason that not wanting to use the cable?Well, anyway, BT in the PC is ok (i used to connect with a Palm Treo 1 week ago), and BT in the phone is ok, it connect with car's handsfree.
My SI number is 1246-7737 and I want to accept the update with ICS.But it said my software is up to date however then i cannot connect to PCC or US .What the problem it was?
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 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.
My previous sony ericsson phone had a PC companion startup screen which included the option 'Connect to Internet'. This new Xperio neo V, when you start PC companion does not offer this, only Support Zone, Contacts Setup, Media Go, Sync Zone and File Manager. What has happened to the 'Internet Connect' option? This was very useful for connecting a PC to the internet.
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)
I'm getting really, really frustrated. PC Companion use to detect my phone, but no longer does. I've connected by bluetooth, but this is inconsistent. I know the drivers are downloaded with PC Companion, but uninstalling, installing, searching for drivers hasn't worked.
PC Companion will detect my phone and download the updates but the problem is that when it asks me to turn off the phone and reconnect the USB cable (with back button pressed) i then get the PC's 'found new hardwear wizard' come up and ask me about installing new drivers, so i say yes- check online for updates and it then says there is a problem because the drivers may not be for Win XP x64 Pro, so nothing is installed.Meanwhile with PC Companion nothing happens.I have tried this several times to make sure i haven't made any mistakes, the only conclusion i can reach is that PC Companion doesn't work properly with my OS.
I faced a problem today when I was trying to update my phone via pc companion ,  It always shows me this message when the counter reaches 96 ,  [URL] ....
I now that the new 2.1 software is out so i checked on my phone to see if i could download it. It said that i should connect my phone to my computer and download it. When I do, PC Companion says my phone is up to date. What's the solution?
So I tried to update my phone to Lollipop via your Companiom app but it failed and now I have bricked phone..I ve tried repair my phone, but it every single time hangs on same spot..
There were couple of posts done by me for the same issue early in this forum.What I am not expecting is
1. any links to older discussions about pc companion connectiviy.
2. use of update service and shutdown and start machine or re install pc companion.
Nothing works for me. So please provide any solution if it is actually solves my problem.My problem is one fine bad day, I connected my xperia neo where PC companion is installed on windows xp is not detecting my phone.It rotates rotates rotates and finally says unable to detect phone. and asks to reconnect again.
Nothing was changed in phone or in my pc for this issue. I have tried almost all (mpt clean/cache clean/stop & start, windows media player reinstall, pc companion reintall , update service) etc etc. One thing observed is whenever I clean mtp service and stop service and connects with usb, pc companion is detecting for first time. When I remove again and reconnect, it stops recognizing phone again. CAN I GET A RIGHT SOLUTION ??How can I update to ICS if usb connection is not detecting??? And I don't have blutook in my laptop.
1) For some reason this time the phone insists for me to update using PC. I connect it using PC Companion, it says my phone has 0 bytes memory left, I deleted some stuff and same. No matter what I do I have 0 bytes free left in my phone, so I can't update my phone, and so I can't get rid of the stupid notification in the phone as well.  2) I tried to backup my photos from the phone, opened "File Manager" via PC Companion, looked into the "Pictures" folder but it's only showing 2% of all my photos in the phone. Clicked on literally every single folders and still can't find the first of the pictures.
