My Xperia Arc won't connect to any PC Via Mass storage mode.

[#1]

Hi

It is long time that i want to connect my phone via mass storage mode but i can't.

with media transfer mode also u can access all the things which u can with mass storage..

i think so..

cz with MTP a phone appears in MY computer just like a hardrive

and u can operate all the files..

but since u are having a problem..

read..

when u conect ur phone with the pc , there must be a notification in the notify bar..

"conected in..."

tap on it..

a window will pop up..select conectivty settings..

and there tap on USB conection mode..

select Mass storage..and see if computer recognise the phone.

if it soes not..deselect auto conect in MSC..

try this and let me know..

When you mention that "It is a long time that I want to connect my phone in mass storage mode but I can't"

Has you ever been successful in connecting the phone in Mass Storage Mode?

If so do you remember the last time it as successful and was there anything you installed or changed on the PC or phone that caused your phone not to connect in Mass Storage Mode?

Just thought of something.

Can you try to reinstall the driver files for your phone

Check out this link for the driver files

If you still cannot can you try :

1. Can you try to boot up your PC in Safe Mode(Restart the PC and during the first few seconds of the PC restarting, press F8 and select the Safe Mode option).

2. When the PC has booted up in Safe Mode, connect the phone to the PC via the USB cable.

yes i checked the notification tab and for the first time i saw the connect and disconnect botton there.

you know before this problem appears it was automatic connecting and i was thinking we dont have any option to do it manually.
