MTP Driver Issue

[#1]

Hello,

I seem to be having problems connecting my Xperia Play to my computer in MTP mode.

It has worked in the past but recently would not connect to PC Companion and when I checked Device Manager the phone was listed with an exclamation mark. I've tried uninstalling the device from Device Manager and allowed it to reinstall but now it fails to install the driver.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

P.S. Not sure if it makes a differfence but I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Service Pack 1

Found the fix. first you need to enable the USB Debugging on your phone for the MTP to work.
"For Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options."
