Anyone succeed with XS connecting to PC Companion via wireless?
Mine stays like that (attached) forever!!!
I just tried it out and it worked just fine.
I have Win7 x64, and I think the trick is, while doing the process have it in the phone in the connections menu (Xperia > connections like it tells you in the first place) and keep it awake, or else you don't get the pairing notification.
After it started to pair, it only took less than 30 seconds to pair and confirm everything.
I have no idea if that helps, but it's how I got mine to work.
Mine works fine too. Had the issue with not getting notification the first time. The tip above here works fine.
Once it's paired it connects fine in a few seconds.

Hi again!
Ok, my situation is a bit confusing:
I had a cool Toshiba e310 a year ago. It works fine and connecting to my PC using USB was no problem.
Now I have this wonderful XDA and I was banned to connect it to my System to update some stupid things like SMS-Names !! (whatever)
Windows says: "Ah! Nice an USB device.... [I have Active Sync installed] what about searching for nice drivers... Well cannot find one, so... lets deactivate it...." ??
???
ah-ha.. k. I would say: "Nice to have a good and new hot-PNP device." I really like the XDA but XP is everything but intelligent!
How can I fix this problem? Active Sync tries to find the device but says that there was no connected device. Please check calbel.
Ok, I pulled the cable off and... tada: windows-sound-signal
Pushed it back... tada: Windows says device found... but: No active sync. no connection, no data transfer.
Do anyone have a little driver for me? I have ever handbook, every CDROM and ... well you know what within the original package.
with regards
McNugget
Try updating activesync or removing and then reinstalling if you have the latest version.
Also try a soft reset if you haven't already.
HTH
This problem haunts me, I need to soft resent almost every time.
I'll try that!
ActiveSync should detect the device but I will search for a newer version anyways...
I'll report the results later this day
McNugget
My ActiveSync was too old
It works now!!
Thanks!
Had a similar problem, so switched from using front USB port to back one, and it worked.
Still the same problem if i use the front one.
Not a prob though.
Front usb works with everything else aswell, just strikes me as a little strange... :?
Howdy,
I have a 'jasjam' and am presently running WM6 Black. I decided today that I would upgrade to the new HTC ROM but almost every time I connect my phone to the PC here (Win XP) I get 'USB Device Not Recognized' on the occasion it does work, once the phone goes into the boatload when I try to upgrade (Hard SPL) I get 'A device attached to the computer has malfunctioned.' or something along those lines.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Ben.
Bump...
The phone seems to initially recognized (XP installs driver for HTC USB Sync), but after a little while the charge light will turn off and the phone will not be seen. After reconnecting it it becomes an 'Unknown USB device' again.
I'm running Schap's 3.54c.
Hopefully someone's encountered this problem before.
Ben.
Managed to upgrade with SD card, which indicently I felt was rather an improved process over upgrading via USB.
In any case I'm still having no luck getting the USB connection to function even now with the new HTC rom.
I've tried various things including cycling 'advanted networking features' under the USB connection properties (I saw this mentioned in another thread).
Again, any help would be appreciated.
Ben.
Try a different usb cable...they have been known to go bad.

Yep,
I have had 2 go bad so far.
I had thought the same thing, so I tried 4 different cables & purchased a brand new one to no avail. :-/

I got the same thing with my hermes...i think its a hardware issue. Do you have issues with slow bootup, lost BT etc?
do a system restore on your machine. select the time before you did your last flash. my pc at work does the same thing, system restore usually fixes it.

That's a good idea, that's worked before for me also.
Another option, if you can find the phone under 'Device Manager' on your PC, is to remove it.
And then when you plug your phone back in to your PC it recognizes 'New Hardware' and reinstalls it.
Sometimes that works.
It's happening also for me from time to time.
- A restart of both machines sometimes helps.
- good usb cable is needed (I had a retractable and it was almost never syncing).
- reinstall activesync + delete partenrship on both tel & pc is the last thing you could try...
Still it happens to me sometimes.
PS1: I was almost never able to sync via usb cable when not connected to the Company Lan.
PS2: I found a Mobile Checkpoint VPN client was also "disturbing".

I use it on my Mac laptop (of all things!) all the time and it works fine. Just follow the sequence/steps and it should work. G'luck!

As in taking a phone call and sending messages?
Was just introduced in the last update the other day but following the steps it still refuses to work. A quick google suggests other people are having issues as well

It works fine for me.
But if you're having Kies trouble I feel bad for you son.
I got AirDroid in system, and the ***** ain't one.
just use AirDroid from Playstore.
Easier to setup and works better

Huh? Trying to answer your question?!?
Neo - are you being a smart a#s when I am just trying to answer your question about "is Kies working", or am I just misinterpreting your response to my post?

Yes, i think you are misinterpreting my response. I'm also not asking if Kies is working. I am asking if Kies Air Message is working.
I can get Kies Air to work fine. What i cant get to work is the new addition in the last 5 days to kies that enables you to make calls and texts on the PC...
Neo - thanks for clarifying. You're back on my Christmas list.
I am having the same issue and already spent quite some time trying to get it to work. Kies air message is either the problem locally on the client machine or it might just be the kies air application on the device with scanning for a kies air server. I will continue to try and if any progress is made I will surely share...
I too am having an issue with kies air message. I just decided to try it out and cant get it to work even though it connects to kies air easily :/
same problem here it says that no device is running kies air
Hey - there is an update to Keis Air app in the Play store.
You may need to make sure you have the most recent update for this to work.
...and I know this sounds simple and the app should be set to auto-update but mine was too and didn't.
The new pin code authentication is a bit of a pain to get working too. I kept getting two one for the message tool and one for the Kies air main window... one code hid the other, which was the one it actually needed ON BOTH!

I had it briefly working (GT-S6500D) by sheer coincidence.
So at the end of last month the Kies Air-update was causing problems with my phone rebooting all the time, where before at least I could go to the IP assigned to my mobile and get the webbased UI.
I was still running pretty "dated" Belgium firmware with custom rooted kernel(build date somewhere from April?) on the phone and checked samfirmware and downloaded some 'hong kong' based firmware with build date around August.
It did stop the 'reboots' of the app but Kies Air Message was (still) not working.
Today, I just wanted to fiddle with it a bit more and I wanted to reinstall Kies-software for my Windows 7. So I removed Kies from Add/Remove software. But because Kies was still running, I needed a reboot before he could remove it all.
No problem because I had to install Kaspersky Internet Security as well, so I did not reboot but installed Kasperky Internet Security. Kies Air was still running on my mobile phone from previous attempts. As 'soon' as my Windows 7 'complained' about his built-in firewall being turned off, Kies Air Message suddenly detected 1 device. My Kasperky was still installing so I basicly did not have any software firewall active on my system. It did work, I only typed in a few letters to see if he 'could' see my phone book in Kies Air Message and it responded nicely with what I expected from it.
TLDR: check your firewall settings, perhaps try turning off all software firewalls and run Kies Air on your phone.
Apologies if this has already been covered or if you think I'm trying to teach you how to suck eggs but....
Are you guys using the App rather than the Kies Air setting? It's the app that connects to the Kies Air message rather than Kies itself. It seems a bit arse from elbow but I've not had any issues connecting to Kies Air Message using this method. I have kies installed on 2 lappys and a PC and they all connect to my phone instantly when I run the Kies app, as long as I'm connected via wireless or wireless hotspot of course.
Anyway, apologies if this isn't the case. My phone is an i9305 if that makes any odds.
I'm using Win7 64x and KIS, Kies Air Message does not detect my new GS2; I tried pausing KIS without success. Any suggestion?
