cant install pc companion and No music folder in xperia u internal storage

[drone]

well when i tried to connect xperia u with my pc, the pc companion software couldnt install from the phone and when i checked the pc companion folder it was of only 1.79 mb in size and the driver folder inside it was empty. any way i downloaded pc companion directly fom sony's site and was able to connect my phone and pc. when i connected them i saw that there was no music and video folder in internal storage (dont know if it is normal).  i only saw the following folders : android,dcim,lost.dir,tmp,whatsapp.

so i am just curious if this is normal or an issue with my device only.

try SUS instead

Update Service (SUS)

ok i will download sus but is it an alternative for pc companion to transfer all types of files and also is it normal for a phone to not have a music folder by default as all of my other phones had it by default.

you don't need a program to transfer files, just mount your phone and trasnfer your files directly.

thanks but what about the music files can you tell me in which folder should they go for the music player to recognise them cos as i said that i cant find any folder to put them in

there should be a music folder NOT on the internal memory but the SD card

yes but xperia u doesnt has a slot for mico sd card. it instead provides 4gb for media files in form of  internal storage (  its more like an internal sd card) and has a separate 2 gb for phone memory and since i cant find appropriate folders i dont know where to put my music and videos.

can u tell me the exact name of folders for music and videos in xperia nxt series phones i will try making them manually and see if it works

my bad I had two threads open, (I thought it was the Sola ) 

in the internal memory there should be a Music folder. connect your phone to your PC -> then go to My Computer -> Xperia U -> internal Storage -> Music

I have the Xperia S they are quite similar

thanks man as i was suspecting there wasnt any folder for music on the phone by default so i will create it manually. it would be really helpful if u can list the names of all folders that the internal storage has by default cos my phones internal storage has some missing i guess.

that's quite odd, you can always do a factory reset, just create the Music folder at the root of the Internal Storage NOT inside another folder, I don't think the folders will be the same between the S and U
