USB mode as in many other nokia phones. - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Story:
Hi, I cannot be able to connect my xperia p with my car's cd player, I connect my phone via usb cable but cd player gives USB ERROR (all others non android phones connect fine). Similarly I cannot use my 'phone as usb' in pc, if you guys remember we could connect our nokia with pc as usb storage.
Question:
Is it possible in xperia or similar devices? thanks

No, the mount usb option is for otg cable. I am talking about usb cable, when we connect usb cable with our computer and android phone, the computer dont consider our android phone as usb storage rather it treat as android phone.

Hello waqar89,
I had the same problem months ago, but I've found the solution here in the forum, there is an app created by some users of this forum that turns Xperia S/P/U from MTP to Mass Storage. I've been using it and it works so fine!
The only requirements that you need are:
->You have to be in stock ICS ROM
->You need your phone rooted and with busybox installed
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744878
About the other problem... trying to connect your phone to your car's music player I think it's not possible by USB, I tried it to with no luck.
When I want to connect it to my car I do it with a jack-to-jack cable...
Hope it helped to you

I tested on a Windows XP x86 and it works grate.
What can i do to fix this problem?
anyone know this problem?
Looks like a drivers problem to me, if you didnt already, try to reinstall latest version of Kies (but dont forget to kill the kies process before using Odin if you plan to use it)

I tryed to reinstall Kies and drivers but with no succes.
I have this problem too and i resolve it by turn the plane mode on, don't know why but now all is ok ..
Try this.
1. Go to settings --> wireless and network --> usb --> usb mass storage
2. connect the usb cable
3. turn the usb mass storage (the android icon changes to orange now)
Go to my computer and you will now see phone and sd card storage as seperate....you should be able to copy fine now.

Hello!
I know this topic is old but I had the same problem with my Galaxy Note this morning and the solution was to disable USB Debugging.
Just to at least mark this topic as solved.

I had this problem with my Galaxy Note 4. I was using the original USB cable which was supplied with the phone. The error was showing up at random stages of the file transfer process - sometimes near completion, sometimes after a second or so; which indicates to me that it may be a hardware problem. So, I then tried using a different USB cable (cheapie from eBay), and it works fine! No brainer fix :silly::silly:
Same issue here - bad cable again in my case. Got a decent quality one and it works fine.
This worked on my Note 4 - Simple Settings -> Developer opions -> Check USB Debugging

Samsung Galaxy S3 not recognized (with drivers)

I have installed Samsung USB Drivers manually and also tried Kies to install the newest drivers, but my Samsung Galaxy S3 still isn't recognized by my computer. What can I do?
EDIT: It only works sometimes, so when I plug it out and in like 10 times, maybe I'm lucky and it will connect once.

I have the same problem. My VSGS3 works with my W8 laptop but not my W7 desktop (at all). The only thing I can assume that it would be is MTP issues with Truecrypt (my desktop is encrypted). I cannot get it to work at all.
take a look at this thread...

I have installed the Samsung drivers but still not recognized . . . HELP!!!

You can use MTP mode to copy the files to the computer.
The device will appear with a phone-logo in 'My Computer'
Just plug Samsung USB cable into USB port on a PC with the Samsung USB drivers installed and cut and paste as many GB as you want .SD Phone or EXT SD card via Windows Explorer as normal .

This problem is quite depressing Has a restore fixed it for anyone?
I use mac OSX and after searching for a month or so, I couldnt find a solution to connect via USB. So now I use 'Air Droid' app from Play Store. Its pretty good and simple!! Plus, you can do alot more stuff like send or read SMS from PC.. Dont need to connect via USB anymore
I found that installing that rootkit installed the drivers to connect via USB - didnt root it just installed it for the drivers. THANKS!
I am having the same problem.
My Galaxy S3 charges when connected to computer via USB.
But is not detected in USB Debugging or regular mode.
Which windows version are u using. Try installing pdanet.exe on ur pc

You must know what windows you use, 32 bit or 64 bit? Download Kies through Samsung website, make sure got right software.

If you are using x64 Windows 7 this will EXE file can be found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver\SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
back this up and then you can remove KIES. This is all you need to have your phone connected without ever really needing KIES.
Or you can use the driver provided by the TOOLKIT that MSKIP has designed (thanks - love it).

nothing has worked for me. I have not tried the toolkit but I installed drivers from the TeamEpic's easy root as described by QBKing77 and those have not worked since I installed twrp
One more to this incredible situation :angel:
experienced the same on my win7 64 bit. I removed it on the faulty usb port to another one and then luckily the driver installation went fine. Weird but worked.

[Q] Phone not detected, but charging and USB tethering working

This is probably a common problem, I saw lots of threads but I can't find any solutions to it, and I really want to make my phone faster i.e. root
Phone: LG P990 (Optimus 2x)
Problem:
Phone not detected by the computer when connected through USB.
What I tried:
1. Factory reset (only data)
2. Cleaning the port with a toothbrush
3. Uninstalling and re-installing drivers
4. Replacing the cable I was using with the OEM one (I lost my original together with my charger)
5. Plugging into different computers and USB ports
6. Checking and unchecking the option of connecting through mass storage only
7. Enabling and disabling USB debugging
What's so incredible about my problem is that the phone actually knows that it is connected to the computer - the USB tethering option is available and it says that USB's connected - but the USB connection icon on the status bar for mass storage doesn't show up. I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem. So any ideas how to fix this?
Bump.
Android version: 2.3.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Firmware version: LGP990-V20d
Please help!
Just some updates.

My computer showed the unknown device message when I chose CP UART. I'm working on the rest of the fix now, and hopefully the problem can be solved.

[Q] Usb connection error, usb not recognized

Hy everyone!
I have problem with my samsung galaxy tab P7500..it wont recognize my usb. in notification bar shows that is connected but it is not. there is no folder od something with my usb staff. it worked fine, and then just stopped. i dont know why
before, when i connected usb, tab opened a folder of usb, but now nothing..
did i miss something? where did i get wrong??
please heelp!!
P.S. sorry for my english
Switch to a different USB port. It seems like a stupid answer, but it is a common problem. Switching from the form factor USB ports (front panel) to the board mounted ports (rear panel) or visa-verse often works.
i know this may be an old post but here goes, i have the same problem, my PC tells me that the drivers for my tab are installed but i can not see it in my PC.
i connected it to different USB ports but still i can not see it.
i tried turning the debugging on/off still to no successes.
7500 tab, cyanogenmod 4.0.4 (9 nightly )

Try unistalling kies and the Samsung drivers, restart the pc and just install the driver. See if that works.

Okay, I just googled your problem... Try removing the device from device management (sorry, it was a Dutch site, translation might be different) in Windows. Then reconnect it.

Then I only have 2 more options available before I run out of ideas.
1) did you enable mtp under the storage options on your tab?
2) your USB cable might be defective. Try a different cable.

Hi
Hope somebody could help me.
my tab is p7500. official ics and rooted. i try to connect usb otg and it working by showing "USB connector connect" .
I can connect it with 1gb flash drive. But when i connect with 2 gb flash drive or higher, the tab will show "High-power usb device connected. cannot access to this device".
why it show like that? is the tab only can access flash drive with 1gb memory and below? or there is some setting that need to be done if want to connect with higher than 1gb flash drive?
Please see the picture attach...

I can't believe that the p7500 wouldn't support flash memory over 1gb. I've heard of people using a USB hub that has it's own power supply for OTG.

[Question] Loading Z Ultra as a USB device

Hi all
I managed to format everything on my Z ultra
Now while I check all the recovery softwares they need that my Ultra should be added as a USB device. But it always connects as a Media device
I tried switching on the USB debugging but still its the same
Can anyone help me with adding my ZU as USB device and recovering my data ??
P.S. : The device is not rooted and I am on the 4.3 update which released yesterday,
Thanks
Hmm, enabling USB Debugging usually kicks mine into USB mode, but the times when that doesn't happen i try another USB port on my laptop and it works. You can also try these apps: Click and click.

Sorry if this is irrelevant... but maybe this is what you are talking about?
If you want your device to be in MSC (Mass storage mode), which is like external HDD and not the MTP (Media transfer mode) then go into
settings -> Xperia Connectivity -> USB connectivity and choose MSC

Nopes it does not work. May be if you are rooted it would work.
Still nothing. I am losing all hopes that I can recover any data from the phone
