Xperia S is certainly one of the best phones i have had. Nevertheless nothing is perfect as i have currently quite a big problem with it.
When i try to connect to PC through USB PC Companion do not recognize the phone and suggests rebooting the phone, which does not help.
When i try to connect through Wi-Fi it also does not work - after several tries - uninstalling and installing my PC as a trusted device it connected a few days ago, but now the connection does not work at all.
What is more - after any attempt to connect through USB i noticed that several apps which i moved to SD have been corrupted - only installing them again from Google Play helps.
Anyone had a similar problem, or know how to deal with it?
My FW is 6.0.A.3.73
My PC Companion ver is 2.10.053

Hi,
Check if you have enabled scanners and camera. If so then disable them and then connect the phone PC companion will recognize it. It worked for me. Let me know if it not works.

Hey guys,
I have been looking evryone for this problem and cant find the solution, hell i even asked my Provider but they couldnt help me either.
In a nutshell my X10i (Android 1.6 Vodafone) Wont recognize my PC (windows Vista latest, 32 Bit).
I plug in the USB cable and it wont show a usb connected in the notification bar, however the notification light turns green.
When i try to connect my device to PC Companion it wont register the phone or locate its there.
I even tried to update the phone using SEUS but it wouldnt recognise it whilst in the "hold back" menu.
I have already tried these but they havent solved the problem;
-uninstall SEUS and PC Companion
-Reinstall SEUS and PC Companion
-change USB ports
-Change USB cable
-Checked and Unchecked USB Debugging
-change computer (still no help)
-I cant find anything in device manager
The problem seemed to have arisen when i reflashed the phone, using SEUS Repair, because i had forgotten the patern lock.
I really want to flash Official 2.1 or the AOSP rom!!!
Any solutions?
Thanks in Advance
EDIT: Everything else works fine in the phone

I had same thing. In my case few times unplug the cable and plug back in helped. Weird but true. You can check if you can make connection via wi-fi ( kies wi-fi in phone settings) i was able to do it from very beginning before i got kies via cable sorted out.
Make sure your phone is unlocked when you plug it in. I spent a bit of time trying to get it talking initially including rebooting my phone, the PC, the phone & the PC. Turned out unnlocking the phone did the trick.
in settings/applications/development, make sure the USB debugging box is unticked.
I've tried those things too.
My notebook notice my sgs2 thats no problem, the problem is my notebook doesn't install the
Samsung_android and cdc serial driver. Those 2 fail.
Wierd thing is that it can connect as mass storage.
make sure you have no apps running! and USB debugging isn't ticked.
go onto stock TW launcher [will not work with launcher pro Etc AFAIK].
open task manager, clear all running apps and clear Ram. then open Kies and when loaded connect USB.
that's how i get it to work for me anyway
Rumble
That's what i tried to. But thats not the problem. Problem is that my laptop doesn't installs the cdc serial driver.

I've also tried that, it didn't work..
I've discovered what the problem is...
My browcli.dll file is corrupted and thats why it can't install the drivers correctly.
I had this exact problem, so I followed some advice I found on the web somewhere
1) uninstall kies
2) re-install kies but choose english US, as they seem to have missed out the CDC drivers for other languages!

STEPS TO USING KIES with a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SII, eye eye, anything you want to call it on Windows 7 vista or XP
1.Ensure your USB Debugging feature is not checked (when some stores copy your contacts from one fone to another, they check this box. USBD will F up your KIES.)
2. Stop your antivirus from your stock app manager.
3. Kies running on cuomputer, and phone at a home screen, plug it in.
voila.
If you have been using multiple phones over usb, or trying to root phones etc, i suggest you recover you delete any trace of usb or phone drivers on your machine, and repair your windows install. then try again.
This is how I fixed it for my scenario:
My Scenario:
few days back my SGS2 stopped recognizing apps installed on SD Card and I keep on getting "Force Close" error for installed (3rd party) apps on phone. I installed Kies on PC to backup my data before rooting my device, but Kies 2.0 was unable to read my phone. That's why i came here..
My Fix:
I uninstalled all downloaded (3rd party) apps and that fixed the issue. In all I removed more than 20 apps, that were installed on phone.
RCA:
I believe some 3rd party app or apps were messing up with my phone, my sdcard, my Kies. Anyways I am planning to root the device so my sole intention is to take back up of my data (pics, vids to be specific)
Suggestion:
1. Try connecting to Kies, after removing SD Card. It will narrow down if prob is with SDCard or SDCard data
2. Try uninstalling apps 1 by 1, to see which one is the culprit.
I had the same problem of Kies unable to connect to my phone. I could charge the phone, see it in the devices, connect through mass storage mode. Kies would even detect the phone when plugged in, tried to connect and would hang. I tried the usual steps (updated Kies, verified USB debugging is off, terminated all apps on the phone), but nothing worked.
I just rooted my phone and was concerned that something might have gone wrong in the process, resulting in the connection error, though every thing seemed to be normal. Out of desperation, I tried the diagnose connection problems button in Kies and Kies reinstalled the driver, tried connecting and rebooted the system. I tried again and this time it took much longer to install, but worked.
I suggest rebooting the system, before reinstalling Kies, as it worked after the reboot.
Ok so im trying to connect the phone USB but it gives me only options like im connecting a camera photo and scan in windows lol? how do u access the phone so that you can transfer files i dont understand, never had a problem connecting a phone this way before.
I had this problem too.
I'm using XP and I had to install a driver for windows called MTP I think it was.
Once I restarted it worked. Make sure it is in MTP mode when plugged in via USB.
Probably worth trying
EDIT: Just realised I think what actually fixed it was installing the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (I installed 1.4.8.0 which I think was the latest)
Google it and download should do the trick
Thanks that did the trick installing USB drivers, i found them from here if anyone else has the same problem.

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 via android settings - no results.
Someone know what to do? In my town no Sony service, may have a solution that does not require service?
Please help
I own an amazfit pace smartwatch,bought 2 weeks ago.When i connect it with my PC and laptop(windows 10 & 7) via usb cable they don't recognize it as hard disk in order to see watch folders and import some music following the correct instructions.I hear the characteristc sound when i connect usb.When i browse to device manager i notice that in windows 10 there is no problem with drivers but in windows 7 there are drivers missing.I try to use the download online function but with no result.I feel that is a very simple problem but i am very frustrated because i can't find any solution.Also i am really impressed that it isn't reported such a problem in your great forum,or i didn't notice it browsing the threads.Thank you in advance for your help!!!
Did you tried with restarting watch? Or maybe hard reset of watch? Try also another USB cable.
have same problem, try every pc, new and old windows .. one of the solution i clean the contact point behind the watch, is blocked with our dead skin
I face the same problem, I uninstall the driver from the device manager and re-plug again, now it can detect now.
i used new usb cable--> problem remains
i restarted watch-->problem remains
i cleaned the contact point-->problem remains
i uninstalled the driver(windows 10) and reinstalled it-->problem remains
i uninstalled the driver(windows 7) and reinstalled it-->PROBLEM SOLVED
But my main PC runs windows 10.There must be a simple solution...
the last solution so far is the hard reset.I will inform you when i try it..
I solved my problem. When you connect amazfit it will appear in devices and printers. When you right click it and open properties (somewhere there) you can change the driver from google nexus adb interface to USB composite device. Then It will appear as disk in my computer.

Mine working on Windows 10, detected as MTP device. I do have ADB universal drivers installed but it also works on my Win 8 laptop with no additional drivers installed.
I'm suffering the same problem after many changes of rom and music uploading in the last months. Now the watch is not recognized (unknown device error 43) under 3 w10 PCs, different cables and usb ports. Cleaned contatcs and charging properly but no way to connect with the PC. Desperated...
Any help or piece of advice are welcome

Could you please share the driver link by any chance? .....I couldn't find one ...as I saw from internet I need something like MTP driver...tho all the things are done manually .. so complicated..im using win10 64bit as well, a surface pro4 and my amazfit rom is 1.3.4f thank you!
Windows 10 comes with the MTP driver, so that is not the problem.
I have seen it numerous times that the watch charges but it doesn't get a pc connection.
It is always connected to a bad contact on the back.
Either you have to clean the contacts better or your dock is not working reliable.
A co worker of mine had that and he tried my dock and it worked, so he ordered a cheap one ( not that "bridge" thing ) from ali.
Working since then.
Problem solved
I had same issue but manage to resolve. Go to device manager - USB controllers - right click on the device not found - Update driver s/w - Browse my computer for driver s/w - Let me pick from a list - Untick "show compatible hardware" - Choose Manufacture: standard USB host Controller & Model: USB Composite Device - click next.
I don't know what happened to my Pace. I could connect to it with no problems until now (last PaceFIED I installed was rel 30). Back then (two weeks ago) everything went smoothly, but now when I connect my Pace, "adb devices" can't find the watch. Adb drivers are installed (minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4_setup.exe). I have changed NOTHING on my computer since the last time I connected the watch, but now it can't find it.
I have cleaned the contacts, restarted the Pace... Nothing is helping. Anyone have any idea?
EDIT: Never mind. The post right above helped
quick fix
I had installed adb correctly so what I do ?
For me worked to clean pins in smartwatch gently with toothpick and after that connect it again to the docking station/charger.
I don't have your luck guys. Watch is new so clean (but I still tried to clean the pins), I have no "device not found" and not a single sound when connecting the watch on 3 different computers.
The charge indicators is showing tho... so the watch receive power from computer usb ports...
any idea ?
Has anyone tried changing the USB port settings to control power? It's in the device manager for the USB ports (properties). That worked for me (found it on the net with a similar issue)
I solved my problem with the most stupid change I could do...
I read somewhere (can't even find it) that some people have had problems with the original usb cable... After 5 hours of adb drivers installations, factory reset and whatever, I just remembered that sentence and changed my usb cable. Now it's working perfectly.
While it's so simple that you can think "how couldn't he think of that before?"
Answer is : the watch is charging so no reason to be suspicious...
That could help someone would just bought it...
I resolved this problem, just connected USB cable on other port.

As stated in my previous message, I'd solved my problem by plugging another USB cable. Did you try a wire of yours?

Yeah, I already try to change the cable with another one, but still no luck. This is weird to me because before that I can use that cable to connect it with my PC and now it doesn't detect at all, only work for charging. And if I use that cable to connect phone it work normally
