Wireless File Transfer Problem - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just checking, anyone has problems using it?
My "home" option just disappeared and I couldn't set it up again. It keeps telling me it's already paired but since it disappeared, I couldn't unpair it...
I tried doing a factory reset and also a repair. Set it up, use one time, and it disappeared again after reboot.... Any anyone encountered same problem or found a solution?
Thanks!
Regards!

Woudl you be so kind as to post how you resolved it? It seems the same happened to me (Z1c). I suspect I mighthave brought this onto myslef with overly strict XPricacy settings, but I cannot seem to find what to allow to pair/unpair/show the laptop again...

Sure but the process is pretty long and complicated... You sure you want to attempt it?

OK, jokes a side....
I was trying everything and noticed I could pair it to my second PC (a laptop). I suspected it is bonded to the "Computer Name"...
So all I did was I change the Computer name and it work!

Interesting workaround, but I would prefer not to change the computer's name, for the sake of other devices in the network.
Maybe someone can chime in with a more direct (on the phone, not the computer) solution.

turning off screen kills device

ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

just tried it . i hit the icon to disable sleeping. i pressed the screen button and when i went to turn screen back on it would not wake. Did i use the app wrong?
No, you use the app rigth. The app only disable deepsleep.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat

Mounting problem

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I was unable to find it in the X10 section. I am trying to munt my phone to the computer but it is not mounting?? normally a window pops up on the computer or I can press mount on the phone but non of these options appear?? The does charge though. DOes anyone know what is wrong??
Dont know if this helps to dagnose the problem but I have a rooted phone with the latest software official sftware and jit.
same issue
CM 4.5.7
would loove a solution
I had the same problem, took it to service center and got a replacement. The problem started since early this month, many posted similar problem around this time. Coincidence?

It possibly could be a USB socket in the phone has come loose. Does the phone charge when you plug it in? If it does the connections should be ok. You could try using a widget like multimount which I find useful, just press it as you connect your phone and press it again to disconnect and the best thing about it is that you can listen to your music on your phone while you access your files on the pc. There's a free version in the market.

Thanks for the help Gingerbread man, the USB socket is a bit loose and does not always charge however, I can get the phone to start charginf via the USB slot on my computer but it will not mount on the. This leads me to believe that although the Connection is weak, it is still working and cannot be the problem.
Multimount seems very interesting, I would have given it a go but my market does not work and I have been unable to fix it. I normally download the prgram from my computer and then transfer it to my phone. I then install it using Astro but I cant even do this since I cannot mount my phone. <-- Its a catch 22
I really should proofread my comments before posting them
Are there any other solutions to the mounting problem??
Does anyone know of a really good link which would sort out the market downloading problem??? When I try to download something, it just says "your item will be downloaded" but does not start the download??
Try settings/applications/all/market then force stop and clear the data and cache or even try pressing uninstall updates and it should be ok again, this normally fixes issues unless its at Google's end

Thanks again Gingerbread Man I am quite sure that I have tried this some time in the past but I will give it another go. I have also got another Android phone and will try to download MultiMount on that phone and transfer it across to my phone.
A closing update:
I was able to install multi mount and the problem was still their. I tried the cable on my fathers new Android phone and it still didnt work but then when I pushed the cable in it conected for a while which means it is the connection.
In regards to the Market issue, I tried pressing force close, deleting all cache etc and uninstalling updates but the problem is still their so I will just have to keep looking. Thanks for your time Gingerbead Man
Not a problem for lending a hand, for your connector I'm afraid that's a job for a mobile repair store. About your market try what I said again but reboot your phone straight after.

[Q] Blue Screen of Death When Connecting to Win7 32 bit

Have found a few examples on other devices of this problem, but not much in the way of solutions. Kinda cripples one's ability to do much with phone if I can't connect it without crashing my computer!
First time I connected, it did not BSOD until I switched to drive mode. Error was DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Since then, it BSODs immediately upon connecting phone in any fashion. First I tried uninstalling all the drivers it had put on (3 items starting with HTC..) and redoing. Same result. Uninstalled all again and installed the HTC sync stuff from their website. Same result. Some google searches indicated this could be a RAM problem and I figured why not check it...all seems well from ramtest, so I don't think that is involved.
Also, it will connect and not crash in safe mode. It connects fine to a friend's laptop (Vista 32-bit).
I'm kinda low on ideas of stuff to try to resolve this. Would be grateful for any input on the matter.
Solved it after examining error log more thoroughly, just figured I'd post in case anyone else encounters this probably rare issue.
That goofball verizon mobile crap mounts as a CD ROM drive. I was using a program called DVD43 in conjunction with Handbrake to rip my dvds to mp4 files. It attempts to scan any DVD inserted, and the verizon program causes crash when it tries to read it when phone was plugged in. Program off, all is well.
Agreed.
I concur, your right, thanks alot.
Ya thanks. I have slysoft and I'm sure it could have happened to me.

so glad I found this, just got my tb tonight and tried to move some stuff on it and BSOD, I had dvd43 running.

weird problem

since last update 1.41 everything seems ok apart from when I am disconnected from internet via wifi or data themer crashes,as soon as I reconnect it is fine,anyone else have a similar problem ?
this only applies to any themes made in 1.41,any themes that are made in previous version do not require wifi/data access,can't believe just me having this issue.Have gone down the remove install but issue still persists.

Just updated and problem seems to have vanished now,thanks to devs for quick solve
Problem not resolved yet.
I updated from 1.41 to 1.42 yesterday but the problem still persists.
Whenever i get disconnected from wifi or mobile data, i get to see an irritating pop-up every 1 minute saying: "The app found information about previous cashed. would you like to send this data to the developer?"
I have send it numerous times but it is still there. Its too much irritating.
I also tried uninstalling the themer app and deleting the my colorscreen folder, then restarted the phone and reinstalled the themer. But the problem is still there.
For additional information: This weird problem has started since addition of stupid "bollywood" category
yeah I just made a post regarding this as I now have the same issue m8,sent bloody loads of reports,and you are correct removing themer completely and reinstall does not work
the only way I have managed to get it working properly is to do a factory reset of the phone.Everything else including numerous deletes and reinstall does not work,I tried this as a last resort.Can someone let us know why themer seems to be holding onto the crash data,which as posted above is so annoying,and I or anyone else shouldn't have to factory reset to correct,Can this issue be looked into please by developers,as it can't just be the two of us having this issue.

So for both of you, the problem only occurs when you get disconnected from WiFi/mobile data? Does this include going into Airplane mode?
We want to see if we can replicate this on our end.

Yes, this includes the Airplane mode as well. (Obviously)
Yep as above and guess what factory reset does not solve it same problem this morning even though no errors in themer after reset,and agan plane mode is the same when not connected

We're just trying to replicate the problem. There hasn't been anyone else with the same issue, therefore we need as much info as possible. I put my Nexus 5 on Airplane mode every night and haven't experienced the problem, hence asking the question.

I assume there must be numerous people out there who might be facing the same issue, may be they are following this thread and just waiting for us to reach the resolution of the problem.
I agree with you that the more information will help you to diagnose the problem in better way, and I appreciate your support.
I own stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.3. I''ll appreciate if "alldroid" and any other who is having the same issue, share their device info here.
Already did above somewhere m8 galaxy s4 running stock kitkat,it has to be themer related other wise the factory reset would have solved it.The only other solution is that the theme itself held on to the errors prior to remove and delete,but even if it did it is a themer problem imo as once an error log is sent it should be removed frm themers memory

We'll keep searching to see if more people are reporting this problem. There is a huge update coming up, I'll see if the update is fixing this issue.
still have the issue and I refuse to believe only two of us have this issue,either that or we are the two most unluckiest themer app users in the world
latest update and..........problem solved no longer asks to send crash data when no net connection
No guys, you are not alone, I'm having this issue too anytime I disconnect my device from a wifi or mobile data, even during poor connection even though with the new update this should be fixed. I don't know if this happens in Airplane mode, never used that mode but I'll try and give you feedback.

see I knew we weren't alone,as above I have changed messed about with,used airplane mode and not had the error since the latest update here.Let us know if the update solves your problem m8

Need help with running VPN on new tabletHi,

Hi,
i purchased a Dragon Touch X10 awhile back and the first thing I did was install the TorGuard app. The problem is that it will not connect, it just times out.
I have tried everything....I have changed the app comfigurations in every way that i could see. I installed the openvpn and tried doing it that way. i downloaded the apk from torguards website....all with the same result....it just times out without connecting.
i have tried other vpn services and get the same result. i also did a hard reset of my tablet and that didnt change anything. the funny thing is that i can run the torguard app (and other vpn apps) just fine on my mobile phone and my ipad, but not on this particular tablet.
its really strange for me, i’ve never had this problem before and was hoping someone out there may know of a solution. thanks.
Nobody has any ideas about this?
