Connecting via ActiveSync or as Disk Drive (upon connecting USB cable) - XPERIA X1 General

Realized that in my Touch Pro I was given an option to connect via ActiveSync or as a Disk Drive when I plugged in my USB cable. However that ain't the case for the X1. Apparently I gotta go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC -> Disk Drive and select it there (before I plug in the cable). Any way (or any app to install) such that I can be given the option to select when I plug in my cable?

I made a program shortcut on the Xperiapanel to /Windows/USBtoPC.exe to bring it up faster without going through the menus. Still have to do it manually though

TYTN - dont connecting via cable. :(

I`ve TYTN and one day it stopped sychro via cable...
I plug cable - its starting charging but ASych stay absolutly quite (any notification any problem connecting) . Like I didnt plug cable
Ive made a Hrd reset , change cable but situation tha same .
any solution, please.
Did you reboot your pc? Did you try another USB device (USB port broken)? Did you reinstall activesync?
That's what i would try....
Try reinstall the active sync software. maybe the usb driver was corrupted
Because it can charge,so maybe the cable is OK( and the voltage is enough, some cable with too much voltage lose will not give enough current when pluged so that can not charge ) , problem should be of the software.
Besure if you have multi user environment. Only one user can use Activesync on Windows XP platform.
Do reinstall Activesync and do check the usb cable with any other computer nearby you if you are not living in desert.
I actually am having a similar problem connecting my AT&T 8525 to my computer. It charges, but won't sync. I had to start using Bluetooth in order to connect.
on the tytn go to settings -> connections -> usb to pc and untick the box

[Q] USB DATA with XP?

i turn on the usb host and connect the usb and the computer makes a sound like it finds a device but it only finds a usb mass storage device and not an internet connection..
any ideas?
So what is it that you`re exactly trying to do? Connet your device to the PC or use it as an internet modem?
For the first option:
- Turn off USB debugging;
- Pick "Storage Device" from the list that pops up when conneting your USB cable to your phone, then tap Done;
I can`t help you for the internet part, if that is what you need, as I have never used it before.
Hope I helped! ^^

[Q] USB connectivity problem

Hi, I bought the HTC HD mini today & am very pleased with it so far.
However, when I tried to connect it with my pc, something doesn't go as pleased.
It charges up, but I don't get any notification that it connects to my pc. I downloaded & installed Windows Mobile device center.
Now I am not sure if I'm connecting with the right cable (however it charges), I got a regular micro USB cable with the phone, however the port on the phone isn't for regular micro USB cable.
I'm not sure if that's any difference for you guys but if please tell me.
check your settings @ SETTINGS -> OTHERS -> USB to PC
and no, there is no difference on the cable
try to download again the device centre from microsoft; been there done that

adb - mtp or ptp

When I connect my 6P to my Win7 computer with the supplied USB cable, I get a notification asking me to choose:
"Use USB for: charging, power supply, file transfers (mtp), photo transfers (ptp), midi"
I would have thought files transfers would be the right choice to use with adb, but that doesn't work (devices list on computer is empty). ptp works fine.
Is this normal? Is there a way to always choose ptp, so that I don't get a menu on my phone every time?
EDIT: I see that Developers Options includes "Select USB Configuration". This is set to MTP, but that doesn't help. It still defaults to charging and I must choose PTP rather than MTP when I first plug in. BTW, I'm on the 5 Oct Nougat, but behavior was the same on Marshmallow.

Not getting any option of USB when connected to PC via USB cable

I am on 087 update.
When I connect the phone to pc with non Asus usb cable it only charges the phone.. but does not show any option as File transfer etc...
However when I use the Asus bundled white cable.. the phone shows all option when connected to PC.
Earlier it was all good. With any cable it would show the usb connection option..
But after this last update only Asus cable works fine for charging and data transfer..
Please help
Hello please help
Make sure in developer settings, default usb configuration is set to "file transfer". Also try turning off usb debugging if it's on.
I too faced the same issue.....U can try to do below steps this might solve ur issue.
1) Change USB option to MIDI and after that gets setup then change to file transfer and check.
2)Remove Android device from device Manager and scan for hardware changes this will detect ur phone again and u will be able to see ur phone in PC

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The option to choose charge or file transfer is now under Connected Devices in Settings menu. For some reason doesn't appear in notifications anymore.
