Cadillac CTS USB - Xperia Play General

Hi guys,
I know it sounds a little strange posting something like this in here but anyways her is my problem...
I just got my new cadillac cts and i am trying to use the usb feature which u can plug ur harddisk and usb flash and it will read all the mp3 files and u can play them directly from car.
So whenever i plug my xperia play it will say unrecognized device i tried both mass storage option and media with no luck. So my bro has nexus one connected it worked without problem ;/
So if you have any idea whats going on please help me out.
I am thinking it may be because the xperia connectivity settings which is different than other android devices so is there away to disable the auto mount from the settings and try a usb app from the market.
Thanks 4 ur time.

I couldn't get my Atrix to work in the CTS either. Did you ever get it to work?

Use bluetooth

Remember that there is a certain lag between connecting it in Mass Media Storage and it being recognized. You'd do well in disabling the PC Companion prompt as well.

Anyone have any luck getting an android phone to work with the CTS?

Usb problem pls help

Hey
I have an x10i and until yesterday i had no problems with it. I cannot connect my phone to the pc and it only charges after 7 seconds from connecting it to the usb. When i connect it to the pc it takes 7 seconds and then shows that it charges but i dont have anything in the notification bar about mounting the usb.
I tried connecting it to another computer but its the same and i cannot flash it using pc companion nor seus cuz it cant be identified even in flash mod.
Ps. The pc does not show any notification that it is connected. Pls help and if this thrad is already there please tell me because i searched and couldn't find it.
Cheers

Try running usbdeview and remove anything related to semc. Take your batter out for 10 seconds, put it back in, switch on the phone and reconnect.
Sory for being a noob but where is semc. Is it on the mobile? Or should i remove it from the pc?

On the computer, download and run the run program, it's pretty self explanatory.
I think your micro usb is broken. Mine does exactly the same thing. It is only connecting on the two prongs that charge and not the two for data transfer. There is no fix I am getting a replacement as thousands of others have done as this is a common problem. See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777721
But id was working before the pc restarted

Works fine on mine. Try one of the usb ports on the keyboard. Also when you plug the phone in USB does the android USB storage screen come up?
You need to press the enable USB button on that screen before Mac will recognize it.

Same here. Works fine. Maybe you are not enabling the USB storage mode?

Don't have an iMac but I do have two MacBooks (or I did before I sold my old MacBook two days ago) and both of them picked up my Nexus S fine. Oddly, though the new MacBook never could find the phone for ADB.
I don't have A usb port on the keypad...but when I connect it to the monitor I get the little android in my phone...I enable USB storage and he turns orange..!!!

And nothing happens on the computer? It should pop up a drive called NO NAME
Note that since Snow Leopard, the default setting in Finder is to not show disks on the desktop. You have to go in the Finder and look at the list of connected disks on the top left-hand column, you'll surely see it there.

are you sure? I'm running snow leopard and have no memory of changing that on either laptop. They both came stock with snow leopard.

I have a macbook with snow leopard. When I mount a drive it does not show on my desktop. I have to open finder to see it under devices. I don't know if it an option setting or not. In comparison my old Mac (before OSX) would show all drives mounted on the top under the Mac Hd Drive. Make sure you are setting your phone to connect also.
I have never had any problems on either PC or Mac.

Of course it's an option, and has been an option for as long as I have used OS X (since Tiger at the very least). Apple just changed the default in Snow Leopard.
kenvan19: if you don't see that as the default on both your Macs, could it be because you have migrated your users from previous Macs? The settings you had before would have been imported, and you would have never seen the new default...

Did you try another cable at all?
I'm really scared now, I'm in the same situation. I just bought a phone off eBay last week and I was told on the forum to try a new cable which I ordered and has yet to arrive.
The seller said it was "New-mint condition" mentioned nothing about a corrupt usb drive.
What can I do?? Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I really want to be able to transfer music to it.

Is there any way to ONLY mount the external SD card when mounting as mass storage?That would solve all of my problems..
Well, I think no known solution till date. A composite usb device, not plain mass stroage device!
Well maybe this can help to solve this, once i conected it to my car stereo, i was triying to conect it when i got an error end process of the usb conector it got stick on the display bar and when i reconected it worked, i never could make it again..... But ís posible i did it....

[Q] Usb mode and Download issue. Help!!!

Hi All,
This is my first Samsung Device after many Years of using Android specifically HTC devices.
I have a couple of issue firstly when I need to transfer files between my pc and my Phone storage. is there a quicker way to just plug in the phone to pc and enable USB mode rather than having to disconnect and click the usb mode button then connect the cable? It is very inconvenient and annoying having to first disconnect the cable then reconnected when the tells you to. On my previous HTC devices its very straight forward and painless.
Secondly is downloading files on the phone, I was trying to download an avi file but it was cancelled because the file was not compatible with my Phone, just this morning I was trying to download the New market APk from the XDA attachment link but the phone will not download it due to the file not being compatible with my phone. I have never had this problem before with my HTCs, never before.
Can anyone advice as these issues are making me want to go back to HTC seriously...
Turn usb debugging on and make sure you have a app installed that can handle apks.

Thanks for that, Usb mode works fine now. How ever what do you mean by an app that can handle APK? id this because I do not have root access? Because I transfered the apks manually and can install them.
Astro, rootexplore or something like that.

Help connecting to ps3

I am trying to connect my phone with a USB cable to my ps3, so I can watch a video that I have on my phone. The ps3 won't recognize my phone and I don't know how to put my phone in a state that the ps3 will read. The only options I see on my phone are mtp and ptp, neither work on the ps3. I have no wifi at the moment so usb is my only option right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Internet Ethernet or MTP mode then go to your xmb under video, find your device and click triangle then display all and find your video.

Nothing is working for me. Not smart share or the mtp. Says its a unknown device. Need help. Please and thank you
I don't think you can do that. All you can do is charge the phone via the USB with the PS3. For file sharing you must use wifi and DLNA.
Try disabling USB debugging on your phone first, then plugging it in to the ps3. Then go to the video part of the XMB home (or music or photos) and finding the device. With USB sticks, the PS3 only supports NTFS storage types so the Android file system might have to be NTFS.
You could also try creating a portable hotspot for DLNA with the PS3. There may also be an app on the play store to help with this.
