How to go into MTP mode.

[#1]

I've looked on my phone everywhere, I've looked all over the fourms...  I used the companion hoping i could find something.  But I can not figure out how to connect to my computer using MTP mode.  Can someone please help me?

the verizon version of the Xperia Play lacks of Sony Ericsson features such as the settings -> sony ericsson etc

try this

connect your phone to your computer then wait until you see its recognized by your computer -> drag down the notification bar -> check if you see a connectivity option
