[Q] Connecting to pc companion via wifi - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi guys I'm new to android with the Neo, great phone, but I'm having problems trying to connect to pc compaion via wifi.
I start up pc companion and go through all the steps of making a connection but when it comes to the last step my phone just says connecting and pc companion will not go to the last step and finish the connection ?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
My neo is running 2.3.3
Build No 3.0.1.A.0.145
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf
Cheers all.

I am connecting to the same wifi, it's my home network. The strange thing is that my laptop connects to it, my phone connects to it and the wifi works on my phone, I can connect to myphone explorer this way but pc companion just stays in a connecting loop ?

Realy I just thought it would save me the hassle of plugging in the usb cable all the time, plus if it's there on the phone I like it to work.

Oh yea I understand mine worked but I thought u wanted to upgrade with it cause I was Yuma say it doesn't work with WiFi that's all

I got same problem as yours.
Waiting for solution.
------------------------------------------------------------
Later I tried to install PCC in 2 other computers and tried to connect via wifi:
1st computer is running Win XP and still can't connect, the wifi connect option in the PCC menu is grey and can't be selected;
2nd computer is running Win 7. It can successfully connect via wifi.
The main computer which I need to sync with is running Windows Vista, but I can't connect with this computer via wifi. So, is this a problem relates to the Windows Vista's version of wifi?

Problem solved
This is what fixed this problem for me:
1. Select "Media transfer mode" on your phone
2. Connect to PC via USB.
3. Open Windows Explorer, right-click your phone and select "Network Configuration".
Now complete the wizard and then run the PC Companion Wifi setup again.

USB problem

Hello, I'm trying to connect my s5830 to my PC; Phone and computer beep like they are working, but it keeps giving me a "USB device Not Recognized" message. (it does charge by the way)
As per my previous research, this is what i've tried so far:
- On other computers, windows 7 and xp, same message.
- replaced usb cable, same message.
- factory wipe, same thing.
- cache wipe, wont run(?) - maybe this is a clue?
Its running on stock 2.2.1 firmware with no mods, not even extra apps. I actually have another s5830 (from a friend) and it works fine when i connect it to my home computer (windows 7) or my laptop (windows xp)
Any ideas of how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
Delete your drivers, reinstall kies and reconnect.
XDA ♥
Just tried that, no luck,thanks for the advice.

Delete the usb driver, uninstall kies then restart your pc.
After restart, dont plug your phone to the pc yet. Install kies.
After installing kies, plug your phone and let kies detect it.

No luck...maybe something is wrong with the phone itself?

Just CONNECT to another USB port.
If its not helping and like I see you have same problem with other PC-s too, then I think its your phone HARDWARE problem. Bring it to SAMSUNG service.
CHEERS!
Thanks, im going to take it tomorrow to see about getting it fixed.

I'm facing the similar problem too. Kies on my pc couldn't detect my SGA. N there's no "usb connection" n " usb debugging" icon appear on my SGA. What actually is the problem?
I had this problem after upgrading kies the solution was inside kies under tools there is a install driver option kies then loaded what I presume are newer drivers and it worked
i tried install driver for a few times. the problems remain unsolved! i connect my SGA to pc, the only thing it can do is charging...

My seem irrelevent... but you may want to check your permissions for USB... may be the USB permission has been turned off.
Try using any externel drive see if it works.

yes,i know all of those features and i've already successfully do them.
but this isn't my issue,my problem is that i want to run internet on pc using mobile as a source.
i want to see a modem installed on my pc device manager so i can control of detailed information to connect to access point from my computer.
In other words,
i want to access internet over usb cable by using phone as 3g modem when removing (Data Enabled) option , because it's assumed that two connection establised one on phone and the other one on pc.
This feature has been found in all nokia phones and samsung mobiles
i do that in acer liquid e special ferrari edition with froyo android 2.2 ...thanks in advance​

Then use the USB tethering option, as this uses the mobile 3G internet to access the WHOLE internet. Make sure all other connections are turned off on your PC.
I mean that when i removed the sign from Data Enabled, Internet connected and establish on my laptop (surfing,browsing and downloading is ok) from Acer Liquid E Special Ferrari Edition with Froyo Android v2.2...Why???
because mobile is being used to be a 3g modem or as a internet source not for sharing internet.
also i did this on nokia c7 and samsung monte but not android it was symbian and java.
So I hope you understand me now and helping me very soon.​

It is the same.
Computer uses the mobile(via USB cable) to connect to 3G Internet. Mobile internet is used. You need to enable the data in Android to use the internet.
i found this article
until they provide modem driver for android phone, especially sony xperia, then they will be impossible to make your phone as a modem and bridging the connection (eg: dial from your pc using *99#). right now the only option is to share your already connected internet by your phone with a pc, which means phone act as a router.
does it means that i can't use my mobile as a dongle modem???

[P] USB connection problem

First of all - sorry for bad english.
Few days ago I've found a problem - I can't connect my phone to PC via USB cable. When I connect - phone is just charging but no debug, no usb-sign in statusbar, no reaction from PC companion, nothing except charging.
When I trying connect with SEUS - I need to go in bootloader-mode, but I can't do this because PC doesn't see my phone anyway...
I've tried two usb-cables and three different laptops with Win 7, 8 and XP - result was same - nothing.
MicroUSB looks like new one. I can't repair software because can't connect to PC, I've already make hard-reset with android settings - no results.
Someone know what to do? In my town no Sony service, may have a solution that does not require service? Some hidden setting or whatever else..
Firmware ICS stock CE (.544)
Try clearing data and cache of mtpapp in settings-applications-management application -all
Then reboot, wait for 5minutes(literally) with locked screen and then retry connecting with pc...
Make sure u first connect usb into pc and then in your phone..

I don't see any mtpapp here... maybe some another names? Here is only "MTP extension service" with 0Kb cache and data. Trying change language to eng, maybe it's translated.
I`ve had a usb connectivity problem while my xperia p was on ThJap kernel.
I`ve used SUS reinstall the stock firmware, problem gone
hope this helps

nope, I can't use SUS, cuz can't go to bootloader mode, because my PC not recognize my phone even in bootloader mod.
My fw is stock atm. Stock kernel also, non-rooted.

[Q] Update problem on Xperia X10i

Hi guys, i'm new around here.
I got an xperia x10i which i can't update it to the last version of android. Curently i'm using the 2.1 update1 version.
The problem is that i can't connect it on my PC to update it, i got a problem with my usb connection and my pc can't recognise the phone so no possible update.
I wonder if is any other way to update the android without a direct connection to pc through a cable. Something through a microSD or anything....
Can you guys give a little help or is not possible without a pc connection?
Have a nice day,
AlexandersonM
Unless you repair your usb connection or you find a way to unlock your phone via a phone app, it wouldn't be possible. Once unlocked there are some options (like installing xrecovery) .

does you windows detect the phone? what does it show in the device manager when connected, lots of people had the same problem with a certain firmware where the phone couldnt connect to the PC by MTP method.
if you provide a little more information then we could be able to help you much more.
May be the problem is with ur os.. Try to connect ur phone to another pc.. I got the same problem.. After resetng my os everything went fine
