4.0.4 USB Connection problem.

[JoPi]

Hi!

Just bought Sony Xperia S (LT26i). Everything went smooth until i downloaded and installed latest 4.0.4 Android ( 6.1.A.2.45 ). Before i could use from settings to put Mass Storage mode on and my car stereo Pioneer 6800 found my phone and i could listen .mp3 from internal memory ( 25Gb ). But with new Android version i can't find that option anymore and stereo always say N/A Usb. It will charge my phone battery thou.
I did find solution (maybe) for it but then i should "root" my phone and i don't do it because the warranty issues after that. So what can i do to use my car stereo? Pioneer doesn't have AUX or Bluetooth possibilities. Only SD and USB.

Should i just wait 4.1 update if then it works again? Thank you for any help.

Cheers!

that's not quite true, the Xperia S does NOT have that option (to use it as mass storage) I have an Xperia S and it was never available not with 2.3.7 not 4.0.4 or the latest 4.0.4

I could use xperia settings and from there it asked umm.. 2 options. Mass storage or something else. Can't remember that. I live in Finland so if that helps. Regional thing maybe? Well... is there reasonable way to connect my 25Gb storage with USB to my stereo again or should i just buy new Sony stereos with bluetooth on it?

you can downgrade to 2.3.7 but trust me it wasn't there, you weren't able to select it at all. what I think it is, a compatibility issue with ICS and your stereo. if it has an Aux 3.5mm connector (your stereo) you could use a 3.5mm male to male cable from your phone to your car stereo

Okay. I don't know then what happened. Does Xperia S have FM sender so i could sent my .mp3 to the radio and listen that way like some older Nokia phones has? Great phone this S but big minus because of this...

it has an FM antenna but not FM transmiter
