Hello,
my Xperia S cannot connect with Navigon Fresh on the PC.
The device will not be recognized as a Mass storage device.
I have also tried with and without "debug mode".
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Andreas
restart computer and xps
try again
if not !
connect the xperia S to usb go to my device manger uninstall the xperia s reset computer
try to locate the it by pc companion
give it 5-7 min to located -> if not unplug and plug it again try again
if not update pc companion!!
if not change usb port in computer, usb cable, (and mobile )
it wont be recognised as a mass storage it will be recognised as xperia S as media player
so click on the xperia S icon in my computer there there is a mass storage
MAKE SURE YOU NOT COPY FILE BIGGER THAN 4GB it will crash system !!
i hope it help
PC Companion recognizes the device and also files can be browsed.
BUT Navigon Fresh does not recongnize the Xperia S (and only the Xperia S).
I have reinstalled the driver/PC Comanion and rebooted both devices...still no success.
Anybody managed to connect the Xperia S with Navigon Fresh?
I've been successful with Navigon Fresh and its actually really simple. Navigon Fresh can only find Phones which are attached as a mass storage device. Since this is not possible with our Xperia S (as of yet), you'll have do a little workaround:
1) Get an SD Card or a USB-Stick and plug it into your Computer. I used a 2GB SD Card which was sufficient.
2) Copy the Navigon folder from your Xperia S to your SD Card or USB Stick
3) Start Navigon Fresh, it will recognize the media as a Navigation Device
4) Download maps or whatever you like with Navigon Fresh
5) Quit Navigon and copy the Navigon folder from your SD Card or USB stick back to your Xperia S (overwrite all files)
6) Start Navigon on your Xperia S and see if it worked
Thanks for this great tip!
That worked for me!
Now, I am pretty happy with my Xperia S again ;-)
I have an IMac but it doesn't recognize my phone at all. Thanks for the USB-stick advise, will try that...
Edit: download bridge for Mac

It seems the USB stick trick worked too for my Samsung S3, Navigon fresh did detect on the USB stick my product
Yee- haw

Is there anyway to get the X10mini pro to show up in windows as a standard USB mass storage device, like my camera or MP3 player? I want to be able to simply copy files over to the phone without using Sony’s software etc. Is there an app I can download for this?
when i connne it shows up as long as there is a memory card not sure if need to select mount usb on the phone menu , if you want the phone memory im not sure its possible to view but as its not that big i guess ur just looking for the memory card
how do you select mount usb on the phone menu? I am still unable to connect this phone as a usb mass storage device and upload files to the card without the Sony Software

When you plug in the USB cable from the PC to the phone, are you greeted with this menu (see attached image)
Thanks I am familiar with that screen, however I can't get the phone to be treated as a USB mass storage device. I just want to be able to browse the memory card like on an MP3 player, camera etc without having to use the Sony software. Is there anyway I can do this natively in windows or linux?

When that screen pops up, just select "Connect my phone", and it'll mount it in mass storage mode. Works perfectly fine for me on PCs without the software installed. Haven't tried it on linux, but it works on my car's stereo that plays mp3s off a connected usb device, so I can't see why it wouldn't
My phone works like that but only with the phone drivers installed. I treid this before I installed the phone drivers but windows just said the drive was unreadable. Also you can't browse the entire directory structure.
Very odd. My Windows XP SP2 has no drivers in it for the phone but manages to read the memory card
Works fine here as regular usb mass storage in Mac OS X.

Ive just suddenly had a brainwave: asking for drivers? That to me sounds like its in USB debugging mode. Switch that off and it should be ok
I updated my x10 mini to 2.1 yesterday and now everytime i connect phone to PC
and click on Mount USB phone just restarts. Does anyone have the same issue?
although this is not a x10 mini thread, i experience the same problem (with my mini) after upgrade to 2.1. i wonder if it is not because you sync with "my phone explorer"... do you?
Android Commander
Use android commander to transfer files does not require putting into USB mount mode.
Or MyPhoneExplorer.
It used to do that back on the RF...014 firmware.
They seemed to like it so much, that they implemented it again!! lol!
*sent from my X10i
mine does it too. but it happens when i plug the usb cabel to the device so the software above won´t work..any solution?
When you connect phone to PC choose to "charge" after that choose "mount" no restarts
but it restarts just after i plug the cable into the device, i have no time to select one of these options
Have you tried connecting the phone with another computer, usb port or usb cable? If that doesn't work...
Have you tried connecting the cable without the sd card inside?
Try that, if it doesn't restart you know it's the sd card that's causing the problem. If you have an sd card reader (some laptops have them) put it in and copy your important files and format the sd card to fat32. You can also use the phone to format the card, but you will lose everything on the card.
Hope that helps.
thanks for your reply
but i had to flash my phone again and now i´m not having this problem anymore so far
Same thing happens to me too. Yesterday updated my X10 Mini Pro to 2.1, now the phone restarts, when mounted. I have tried on 2 computers (PC and laptop). Just now tried the suggestion to choose "Charge" and later "Mount" from status bar, seems to work
Actually, just now i remembered that this started happening not right after the update, but after i enabled Text-to-Speech or Speech-tp-Text or whatever it was. Will be trying to switch that off later.
for me the upgrade to 2.1 solved the problem...try to re-flash

I use exactly the same workaround on my X10 mini pro. This bug started after the android 2.1 upgrade. I never had it before...
It happens only when I mount the SD on Win7 and not on Ubuntu Linux: Could it be a driver issue?
EDIT: btw the issue disappeared after i uninstalled the live wallpaper

Thanks my problem is solved......CHEERS
Hi, i had same problem with reboot after mount USB so i tried to find solution. And in my case the soution was simple.
I have had set sound notification to SD card witch was save on S card..... Go to: Preferences>display and sound> SD card notification> "set OFF"
That solved my problem
PS: Sorry for my english

phone restarts when I mount usb pen drive to it!
My wt19i restarts some times when I mount pen drive. The mount buttun pressed and then screen turns black, then restarts. Please help me.
Try to move those apps which you use more frequently to PHONE STORAGE or kill their procces before you mount your USB...this helped me

I am on windows 8. how do I view the SG3 sd card files?
Thanks!!!
Use the popular SGS3 UMS App.
Ext SD Card reading is supported, you can't move files through internal sd card and Pc.
Use bluetooth for that.
I've had the same problem many times after changing and testing new ROM's.
You can restart your computer and phone - has worked for me before.
Change ROM - this has worked for me, seemed like a particular ROM didn't like my PC setup / drivers whatever and refused to connect!
Change cable - they don't last that long, I've had to replace 4-5 since my HTC Desire days - all that plugging and unplugging can bust them - they always still charged, but no PC connection.
Try a different USB port - You never know!
Uninstall the drivers on your PC for your S3 - reinstall - use the SDK drivers - or from KIES. I seen users report that the change between a ICS ROM and a JB ROM and vice versa can cause issues, not sure if applies to you.
when I plug in my I717 via USB in my desktop, windows sees it as Samsung Android device, but when I go into windows explorer, there's nothing to see (the usb or sd storage isnt listed at all) and I do have mtp usb storage activated on the phone and usb debug. I am running gingerbread touchwiz rom. I can see the phone and transfer files wirelessly with ES file explorer, but I cant access the sd card or the phones internal storage through usb windows explorer connection even though device management shows Samsung android device. Windows Device manager shows the phone with no yellow flags. anyone had this happen and found solution to share? thanks
You can try rebooting the computer, using different usb ports, using a different cable. I don't know if this works on gingerbread but I have used it on jellybean roms before when I've had trouble connecting... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch
Just thought of one other thing. You didn't say anything about Windows loading the device drivers so I gotta ask if you have installed the Samsung drivers?

yep..have samsung drivers. also, about the app you linked above, I'd like to try it out but google play says its not compatible with my device (probably because I'm still on gingerbread). anywhere else I can download the apk and try manual install?
I think your problem is that you are connecting via MTP (media transfer protocol). You need to connect via USB mass storage. With your Note not connected to your PC, go into Settings, under Wireless and network look for USB utilities. Follow the phone's instructions for connecting to USB storage to your PC. Wait for the Windows autostart to read the phone storage. (My PC is XP and takes a minute or so.) Then you should see two new drives show on Windows Explorer. One is phone internal storage and the other is the phone's external SD card. Hope this works for you. Good luck!
I believe sonebwood is on the right track on this. I remember when the Note first came out I had to change something to get windows to see the drives. Is there any particular reason you keep the phone on gingerbread? ICS was a lot better and you can update to JB through Kies.
Greetings XDAians!
Help Me Pls!!!
Whenever I connect my Z2 to my PC via USB cable in MTP mode, the computer though detects the device but am unable to surf my Internal and External Card and thereafter I have to reinstall the driver for MTP and then only am able to see both the drives on my PC. I have to repeat this procedure each time I connect my cell.
But when I connect my device in MSC mode, there is no problem. My system immediately detects my phone and I can easily browse my SD card.
My system runs on Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards!
Are you using the same USB port?
Yes .. Indeed I use the same USB port to connect my Z2 every time!
And each time I restart my PC, I have to reinstall the driver for Z2 when connecting in MTP mode!
Please Help!
Am still having the same issue. Could anyone have any idea on this please? Help!
