Hi, I've recently purchased an Arc s, excellant phone, but can't seem to connect to my pc (using pc companion) via my wifi router.
The phone is not modded in any way, it connects to the router and the internet perfectly fine, just can't get pc companion to connect.
It connects fine via usb, when I'm following the instructions, i can get my pc to show up on the phone as a trusted device, but then it gets stuck in a connecting loop, the phone shows as connection, and on pc companion it says it will go to the last step automatically.
I have had the occasional connection problem to the internet via wifi, but think I've solved them now. The connection to the pc has never worked.
Any pointers would be great, as my partner also has a Neo, but I thought it best to get mine working first
Also pc is running windows 7 home premium x64, Router is a Netgear WNR2000v2 and is connected to my pc via ethernet cable
Many thanks
P.s I've also had trouble setting up a ftp network. Dont know of they could point to some thing. I've followed guides but to no avail.

Hi All, new here
I keep getting "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate.Try again later" error when trying to connect to my home PC through "Internet pass-through". "Internet pass-through" seems to connect fine to the PC, but then fails to connect to the internet through it, even if the Symantec Firewall is totally off.
On the other hand, no such problem when connecting through "Internet pass-through" to my work PC. The phone connects to the PC and Internet with no problem.
I guess the differences are because of a different internet connection type in work and home. Not sure what the connection type at work, but my PC at home uses a VPN dial-up of type "L2TP IPSec VPN".
Is there anything I should configure in this connection to be able to connect to the internet?
Current OS is Android 2.2.1, stock ROM, no tweaks.
Hope to get more information here than in the "General" forum.
[SOLVED] by Microsoft TCP/IP fix
I've downloaded the following TCP/IP fix from Microsoft, installed it on my Windows XP SP3, restarted my PC, connected my DHD, and that's it - "Internet pass-through" is now connecting successfully! with no additional configurations.
Download the fix from here:

This has been an ongoing issue on my Arc.
It is like nearly impossible to connect my phone to PC.
I have tried via wireless, and when connecting vis USB, I have to unplug my phone about 20 + times before it finds it and lets me into the files.
Why is this? Is this an Xperia issue, or is this a windows 7 issue?
Is there a work around for this yet, its driving me insane. At both work and home it takes forever to get my phone to connect to pc.
thanks, Amanda
I have exactly the same problem. Both hotspot and usb tethering only connect to local internet. It has connected to the internet before but lately nothing. We have 2 Arcs and they both have the same problem. We have windows vista.

I only had trouble connecting via PC Companion and that piece of crap managed to brick my phone when trying to update to 2.3.4 so I took the plunge and unlocked the boot loader. I have had no problems connecting with Fastboot, Flash Tool or just connecting as a mass storage device (although this can take 10-20 seconds before it registers). The laptop I use for the phone runs XP.
Did you find it hard to unlock the bootloader and will this void my warranty??
I use Win 7 Ultimate and it finds my Arc instantly when connected to USB (have not tried any other method). Same on both PCs I use. So it might not be the OS. It could be firewall or antivirus. I use Windows firewall and Microsoft Essentials, but others may be more strict.
Windows Vista and wi-fi is the whole other story. Vista just keeps thinking of new ways how to play with your nerves when it comes to any wi-fi functionality. I for one could not persuade it to connect to internet via WI-FI, it just let me connect to the local network. I therefore skipped it and went straight from XP to Win 7.

There are guides on here on how to do it (I would advise against following SE own guide as it is too involved). The biggest issue for me was, of course, getting the PC to see the phone in Fastboot mode. Once I had solved this issue (using device manager on the PC to install the drivers) it was easy.
Yes it could void your warranty. If you make a mess updating your phone by flashing custom ROMs then this would not be covered. Also if you overclock you CPU to 2.5gHz and melt it that would not be covered. I would guess that manufacturing faults would still be covered but ALL modification is at your own risk. I was comfortable to do this as I have installed lots of custom ROMs from my time as a ZTE Blade and SE X10 owner. At the moment there are not that many modifications that are available but with SE announcing they are supporting the Devs I am sure that will change.
maybe becuase you got mtp set instead of mass storage?
Try MyPhoneExplorer ...
Peace.

I changed it over to mass storage and it seemed to connect to my work laptop straight away. I will try this when I get home on my home pc, Thanks so much to everyone for your help.
Hi, I just bought this phone, yesterday I connected to my PC for the first time, and my pc detected it, but now my PC can't detect it.
Any idea? thanks
in which mode you trying to connect?
I don't know, i just connect the USB lol.
It's solved!
The first thing I noticed is that my other computer detect the mobile always without the software "PC Companion".
I downloaded PC Companion and I installed it in to the PC were the mobile can't be detected, then I turned off the mobile and connected it to the pc, after it I turned it on and I selected an option in the mobile to connect automatically, then the PC detected it and it's working really good.
I just built up a new Win7 64bit laptop. The laptop has a built in Bluetooth. I'm trying to connect my Galaxy Nexus to the laptop, but not having luck. Is there something else I should have installed on the laptop in order for this to work?

Hello there to all xda members from my side first i am a new member on XDA .
I am also facing a problem in connecting to my win7 PC via bluetooth . telling the whole story " i have connected a usb bluetooth to my win7 Pc and with the help of that i was trying to connect my MMX A110 to it to transfer files to my mobile a110 . All bluetooth drivers were installed on the Pc automatically as i connected the USB Bluetooth to it . But Now when i try to connect my mobile to Pc both devices need to exchange a passkey code and there is the problem , the passkey codes never match like pc code is 123456 then on my phone it shows like 456789. I mean that whether i try to connect my Pc to phone or the Phone to PC the pairing code is always different on both the devices so it gives an error saying code entered is incorrect. what should i do guys to solve this plz help .
Thanks in Advance
Just got an htc one x, it was on a stock ICS ROM. I tried connecting to my laptops wifi by making a connectify hotspot. It sees the connection but gets stuck on authenticating/obtaining an ip address. Doesn't go any further than that! or sometimes rescans and then the same loop.
I also tried making a hotspot manually, by the command "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=htc key=......" etc, same thing it sees the connection tries to connect to it but gets stuck on the same thing like i mentioned above.
Then i installed a couple of custom roms, namely maXimus and cm10.1 endeavor unleashed. Same thing on both the roms, neither connectify nor manually created hotspots work. It sees the connection, tries to connect to it, but they all get stuck at the same point. Although it can connect to my neighbor's wifi router fine! ...just the laptop hotspots don't work!
I am using a windows 8 laptop by the way, but i do have the latest htc sync and drivers installed, and the device gets detected fine obviously as i am able to flash recoveries, firmwares stuff etc.
Help me out here guys!?
bump..........
I have the same problem. When I used custom rom (AICP 8.0) it worked well but now it doesn't work for the factory rom.
