Connect to PC issues

[bvgroote]

I've been at it for hours. My computer beeps when I connect my phone. I can prompt my PC to install the PC companion software when I connect, but I cant get PC companion to connect to my phone, it just wont detect it. I've tried everything, been at it for hours and ready to throw the thing in the bin. Why did I switch? Someone please tell me I made the right decision.

What operating system are you using in your computer and which is mode is selected under Settings -> Xperia Connectivity-> USB Connectivity -> USB connection mode? Note that you need a microSD in the phone to use MSC. To connect to the phones internal storage you need to use MTP.

Hi Rickard.

I have tried both settings under USB connection mode. Neither worked. Windows 7. Thanks.

Also I tried to connect on 3 different computers to no avail. They were: Windows XP x 1 Windows 7x 2.

I've now connected somewhat on my friends windows 7 machine. Not sure why but this one detects my phone.
