phone usb not recognised. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to connect my phone to my computer but when I connect the usb it doesnt allow me to mount the sd card. It just charges but nothing appears in the naotification bar. It used to work fine but now it doesnt let me connect my sd card.

Same problem here, it used to work... but not now. I tryed to uninstall and install again companion but did not solve it

I know that this ain't the solution but you could look into Wifi Syncr as a means to transfer files to your phone.

I can not mount my sd-card with Ubuntu, do I need some drivers and stuff?

Edit: He he he, I fixed it myself by changing to MSC USB-connection.

Go to setting>sonyericsson>connecntivity>usb connection mode change it to mass storage mode.then ur phone will prompt u usb connect to memory card,just select connect.
Happy try.

to see your phone you must mount the sd card. and you need the sdk tool on your computer.
please correct me if im wrong.........any one?
It might be a problem with your usb cable. Are you using the cable that came with the epic? If so get a new one the one that comes with the epic is crap. Try monoprice.com they have good cables and great prices.

Try rooting without your SD card in the phone. unplug the USB, take your SD card out, plug in the usb, run the root.
See if that works.

When you plug it in, do you get a notification on the phone about USB connection? You need to select mass storage mode. If not you need to update the drivers on your computer.

Connect thru Kies Wifi, after 5 days of trying to make the drivers work , i gave up.... Use Kies or remove the card and read it with a card reader.

Driver issue. Follow these instructions, just change the kindle stuff to yours. It will work. Make sure to update the USB driver in SDK, and check it a second time in the SDK to be sure it updated. And remember to reboot after installing the new driver, it won't work otherwise.

You should also have a setting that says connect to pc on your phone, make sure it is set to prompt.

[Q] Issue accessing phone via usb

Earlier today I tried to access my files on my phone connected to my pc via usb and my computer doesn't seem to recognize that a usb device is connected. All it does is just charge the phone. I've tried every port on my PC and still no luck. I have to remove my microsd card from my phone and insert it to my Pc using an adapter in order to transfer files.

Do you have USB debugging disabled?
Also, what OS is your friend using? Unfortunately it seems Samsung has switched the GS3 and GNII to Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) instead of USB Mass Storage (UMS), which is way faster and more compatible than MTP. Some people have issues with their PC not installing drivers for MTP devices, and that may be why you're not able to access your phone from your computer.

Broke my Mass Storage?

Okay so my SD works on my phone, but when i connect to compy it says:
E:\
application not found
I uninstalled a bunch of apps thinking they wernt useful, when this happened.
So what apps are needed for Mass storage mode? Thanks
Well sir. Do you have the appropriate drivers installed on your computer?

Was working fine untill I uninstalled the apps :good:
Re-installed Xperia-NXT light edition and the same problem arises o.o
Yes there is app that allows your pc to detect the android device mass storage. If you need to access to your content inside the sd card you must use an sd card adapter. Otherwise use a CWM backup.
Alright in CWM aswell in Mass storage mode it doesnt work.
ROMS before dont work either.. something with my computer?
I've had driver problems something with the pram in macs. Hard to say but did you backup your phone to a point it once was working?

Did you try a different usb port?
Sonygenmod
Hey all,
So I've been having a problem with Mass Storage mode as well. But I fear my problem may be ROM related. I'm running Sonygenmod, and the only access to my phones sd card is through Media Transfer, which isn't nearly as nice or effective as mass storage. Anybody know what's up?

[Q] MTP doesn't update

My phone sometimes doesn't update my SD card files when I connect it via USB to my pc, while is on MTP mode.
Let's say I create a new .txt file on my sd root, or anywhere on my SD card, then connect it to the pc, the file isn't there. I have to switch to mass storage, and when I do that, my phone reboots because JB has a real problem with mass storage and no one could f*ing tell me what is the problem with mass storage and JB roms, even when they have no problems with it, and then it works and I can really see the files and folders updated.. Any idea about what may be wrong with my MTP?
Also, it just does update when I reboot my phone.. but the rest, nope. up!
That happens
I thinks it's because in MTP mode, not all the files are read again
Maybe try unmounting sdcard and then mounting and then connecting

But how is that it happens to me just in JB? I have had no problems with MTP before.. Unmounting SD card gives me a reboot, so I guess it does the same as my useless mass storage :l
