Xperia Z2 :: Unable To Pair Via WiFi With Sony PC Companion
May 8, 2014
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.
Since the Android ICS update we lost the function of connecting Xperia Ray to the computer using WIFI connection. Is this function coming back any time soon?
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.
syncing my mini pro to google - especially calendar and contacts, theese are the two most important features of the phone for me. In the past but more often recently (actually every time I sync via internet connection), I get theese notifications: am using Bussines Calander Free app as my calendar app. Could this be issue with PC Companion or with BCF?
My phone has 4.1.B.0.431 software version. Here [URL]. I find that latest version is 4.1.B.0.587. but when I connect my phone with Sony PC Companion it's shows that my phone has already latest software. Why it's saying this thing. Here below I given all screen shots for reference.
Sony PC companion is not connecting to internet. Am able to browse internet with all other applications.
I've exewcuted the application as administrator but no use. I've downloaded the latest PC companion but still it's not working. Also I've tried in every way to coonect to internet i.e, by unmounting sd card, mounting sd card, USB debugging etc. PC companion is detecting my phone (XPERIA Neo V) but it is not connecting to internet.
My Xperia X8 is currently using the old version of Android I think 1.6 as my phone keeps telling me I need to update it to 2.1. I have been trying to do this with PC Companion but every time I try it, the software gets to the preparation section and tells me installation error unable to install or start phone software update components. I then have no option but to close the box.I then get another box come up saying the update of software failed. Please try again or consult Sony Ericsson support for assistance at url...I have tried several times to do it through PC Companion but it just will not work.My phone is telling me that the firmware version is 2.1 update 1, I did upgrade it to Android 2.1 when I first got the phone, but I had to do a factory reset of the phone due to an error, which set it back to Android 1.6.
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
4.1.A.0.562. An attempt to pair the phone and PC Companion ends up with message "Your current phone software can not connect to PC Companion using Wi-Fi".IMHO it is time to provide downgrade option in the PC Companion, too many problems with ICS.
I am unable to pair my jabra BT2020 headset with my xperia x10. The phone just does'nt detect the headset, even after pressing the scan for new hardware button. Is this because the phone comes with version 2.1 and the headset is only 2.0. Is there any option to go round this problem, or should i get myself a new 2.1 version headset.
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.
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 am experiencing problems connecting WM600 Bluetooth Handsfree to my handset. I've made my WM600 discoverable n scanned it with my X10 mini pro over and over but it doesn't work.
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 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...
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.
I bought an a2dp dongle/handsfree off ebay which lets me connect my pc speakers to itself via 3.5mm connector. i usually connect my iPhone and MacBook with this dongle to stream music wirelessly. i tried pairing my w350i with the dongle but it wont detect it. i also tried pairing it as a handsfree but it wont do it. can someone tell me how i can achieve this pairing to stream wirelessly from my w350i? i tried in both profiles, general and handsfree.
We have installed PC Companion, but it asks for a "PC Companion update needed" and when we hit the "update now" button we get an error and then we hit ok and it shuts down PC Companion. Did an uninstall, and installed again, still the same. Is this software necessary to have? Finding this phone is not so user friendly.
