ICS - Live With Walkman - Can't connect USB in MSC (Mass Storage) mode

Hi Guys n Girls,
I recently updated my LWW to ICS and I can't for the life of me get the phone connect to my PC in MSC, mass storage mode.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

This question seems "answered" without an answer actually being there? I see the same problem - connecting the phone to my (Ubuntu/Linux) machine before (running GB) ended up in the phone (SD card) being mounted as external USB storage device just as one would except. With ICS, this doesn't seem to work out of the box anymore, but unfortunately so far I also didn't manage to change this behaviour. Any hints on that?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian

  • N97 restarts when connecting to PC via Mass Storag...

    Hi guys, 
    My friend has a N97 and she changed the font using E:\Resource\Fonts\ folder method. The font was successfully changed; however, she didn't like it. 
    So she decided to change back the font, but whenever she connects the N97 to PC via "Mass Storage" mode, the phone restarts itself, and by that I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME it'll restart. 
    Therefore we tried "PC Suite" mode, but we're unable to make any changes to the Fonts folder (ie delete / rename / cut-paste). 
    I've also tried using X-plore, but whenever I try to delete the [s60snr.ttf/etc...] files, xplore will give me an error: "Can't Delete File: E:\Resource\Fonts". I'm sure that the file isn't in "read-only" if that helps anyone.
    The fonts are stored in the 30gb internal memory inside the N97, so it's impossible to swap out the memory and delete on another phone/computer.
    I appreciate any answers

    Hi Guys,
    I had same problem with my N97 mini. I do not have external memory card. I installed 'FONTS' in my mass memory. Font changed but if I connect my phone in mass storage mode, phone resets.
    Here is what I did,
    1. Copy all my data in PC using PC suit mode ( I suspect back utility will not work here because it will restore the back up including fonts folder in mass memory. I am not sure though). Also copy RESOURCE folder in your PC ( you can delete fonts folder in this copied folder in PC. I made a mistake of copying only RESOURCE folder you can copy all the folders from mass memory and restore it later.
    2. disconnect the phone from PC
    3. Open , Office --> File mgr. --> Mass Memory --> got to options --> Scroll down --> format mass memory.
    That's it.
    Your phone will be 'shut down' after formatting is completed.
    Restart the phone connect it to PC suit. You might not be able to see mass memory. In that case connect it in ' mass memory' mode. You can find your phone is not resetting. Copy RESOURCE folder from PC with out fonts folder.
    You may reinstall firmware and reinstall all the application you need.
    It worked form me. Hope it works for you. Do it on your own risk. Do not forget to copy the data from mass memory.
    You may find HARD RESET options (*#7370#) but it only resets your C drive and not F OR G Drive.
    If you have installed Fonts in G (External memory). I guess you can just remove it from phone and remove the fonts folder easily. Just remove external memory use card reader to connect it to PC and remove.

  • ICS updation in Sony Ericsson WT19i (live with walkman)

    Hello..
    I have Sony Ericsson WT19i (live with walkman). Last day i updated the os version from Android 2.3.4 to ICS via Sony PC companian. Now i am experiencing something slow in the system. The most annoying thing is that, the caller image of android 2.3.4 is nice as it appears on the top in full width is missing and square type image is seeing now. Please help me if any one can find a solution to my problem.
    One more question Is it good to run ICS in 512mb RAM device? Or shall i downgrade it to Android 2.3.4? Is there any official means to go back?
    Please Help...
    Regards
    AJITH

    Sorry to hear about you being disappointed. Regarding the caller image this has changed in ICS and it doesn't look the same as it did before. This isn't a bug, its new design so there is no 'solution' for that.
    If it wouldn't be possible to run ICS on 512mb of RAM we wouldn't have released an ICS version for the LWW

  • I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman)

    I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman). However, the charging power adapter still here.
    I don't have any other cable.
    My phone's USB port use Micro-B connector.
    If I buy a high quality USB cable with Micro-B connector, will it be compatible for both charging and data transfer?
    Is it necessary to buy the original Sony Ericsson USB cable? If yes, which model should I buy?

  • Xperia Live with Walkman on Android 4.0.4 (with screenies)

    My Thoughts on Android 4.0.4 on Xperia Live with Walkman
    -Sleeker Font Style.
    -Camera Shortcut right from the Lock Screen.
    -Able to access the drop down notification bar even when locked.
    -Music Player access right from the lock screen
    -New Owner Info Option display
    -Face Unlock works great on Live with walkman.
    -Awesome new themes. Xperia NXT Style! Although they are only wallpapers, not the live ones seen on 2012 devices. My favorite is Tourquoise (Did I spell that right?)
    -The Performance Assistant will help you disable some of the apps that you dont need.
    -There it is! Official Android 4.0.4. Ice Cream Sandwich. OH YEAHHHH!!!
    -If you repeatedly tap on the Android Version Menu. This little Primitive Droid will surprise you. HEHE!!
    -Oh, and there's also a new logo when you start up your phone : SONY ONLY not Sony Ericsson, and in its ever-so-recognizable font style. =P
    -The Sony Ericsson Liquid Logo has also been changed to Walkman, with a bubbly and quirky animation.
    -Ill try to post screenies if I can.
    -Greatly Improved Android Browser. Seriously, It's WAAAAYYY smoother than the one in GB.
    -The Browser runs smoother than GB.
    -Websites with heavy flash content load smoothly. =D
    -Saved Pages Option to view pages offline.
    - Only Android provides true multitasking capabilities.
    - Hold the Home Button and you will be taken to this new recent/running apps tab. Swipe to the right and that app is closed. =D!!!
    -Widget Preview.
    - A NEW Gallery aside from the Xperia Gallery. The new gallery provides edit options. Like Picsart or Instagram or Adobe Photoshop Express. So, if you want to save some precious memory, stick with the gallery editing options =D
    -HD playback still smooth as ever. I don't know what the fuss is all about. =P
    -Images look fine as they did in gingebread. It really depends on shooting situations.
    -Captured 720p HD Videos doesn't lag for me. Play back is smooth. Same as in gingerbread.
    -Maybe, People are just not used to the new interface, but with a little bit of tinkering, you should get used to it in no time. =P
    -The New Camera Interface. It now includes a dedicated on screen camera button.
    -Captured Photos Quality are the same as in Gingerbread.
    -Captured 720p HD Videos run as smooth as in Gingerbread.
    - The New YouTube App interface.
    - The Lockscreen Music Player
    - There was a review about not seeing the clock due to the music player. Duhhh, you can see it at the upper right corner. =P
    - I love how the album art and the album name also appears. If you are like me who converts songs from youtube to mp3. A little app called Tune Wiki can help you edit its tags so you can enable infinity view. =D
    -The New Dial Pad, which provides Smart Dialing.
    -About the lagginess issue. It takes about 2-3 seconds to start. It depends on how many entries you have in your call log.
    -There's a workaround on it though, access it through Contacts.
    - RAM usage feels the same for me. Good Job on this one Sony. =D
    - I was really worried about RAM ever since I read Sony's article about GB and ICS. They did well on optimizing this one.
    - My screenshot is not the best there is since I was syncing Facebook inside Xperia. But, normally it has about 180mb used and 160mb free.
    - New APPS installed. Some apps like Wisepilot for Xperia can now be moved to SD card, thereby freeing more phone memory.
    - My New Homescreen. It retains the very convenient four corner bubbles.
    - 5 Widget Panes
    - A New Google Search Widget
    - Walkman Player. I was expecting the music player from the NXT series. Hehe, but I guess this will have to do. =D
    - I've never seen the refresh music library option even in the GB walkman player. Through experience, everytime I add a music file it gets added in real time. No refresh required...
    - Oh, and also... I think the speaker is a tad bit louder than before. Like 20% louder. I noted no distortions
    - The orange lights work as usual.
    - Still no customizable equalizer. This is a walkman phone. It has to have superb music customization capabilities. =P
    - Battery usage for me remains the same like in GB.
    -Monster Use/Heavy Gaming : 4 hours (HD games cracked for HVGA screens i.e. Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, Need for Speed, Shadowgun, Dead Space)  Although I doubt you could play that long due to the screen size and the cramps you may get from playing. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome anyone? Haha.
    -Internet Browsing : 6-8 hours
    -Video Playback using Stock Player and YouTube App : 6-8 hours
    -Video Playback using MX player : 4-6 hours (I use it for my .avi files)
    - I use Easy Battery Saver to Optimize battery performance.
    In Super Mode it can last up to 24-36 hours with only texts and calls which I think is pretty impressive. I can go on 16 hour hospital shifts without worying about charging my phone.
    In Normal Mode it can last 8-10 hours.
    -It really depends on how you use your phone. I strongly believe it greatly varies with every user.
    - Don't believe posts that say it doesn't run as smooth as GB. IT RUNS AS SMOOTH AS GINGERBREAD. EVEN BETTER. =P
    - Sleeker new user interface.
    - All of my apps and games still run smoothly on ICS. I'll keep searching for bugs.
    - The ROBOTO font is awesome.
    - I find the interface more intuitive and streamlined than GB.
    - Lots of new features implemented. i.e. Smart Dialing, Face Unlock, Performance Assistant
    - Icons have been remodeled.
    - I also love how fluid it is now when it switches screen orientation. =D!!
    - No bugs for me whatsoever.
    - I miss the quirkiness of the GB user interface. Like the transparency of the messaging app. But I guess, I have to move on, change is for the better.
    - A SOLID AND STABLE UPGRADE. NOW MY XPERIA LIVE IS COMPLETE.
    Problems:
    -Yes, the LED SMS notification doesn't work. But all other LEDs work. i.e. Yahoo Messenger, Incoming Calls, Twitter. I guess they may have overlooked this one. It's the only problem that I see. I find it livable still. Greater good for the greater number of people =P
    -THANKS TO SONY!!! A huge step on the right direction.
    -KIMOZAVE - NOOBIE SMARTPHONE USER

    hi kimozave, ur review seems to be full of praises for ICS, but I have gone through many threads on disadvantages of ICS, so very much confused if I should go with ICS update or not....
    can you plz tell how was is experience on:
    1. Dial pad - I have read its laggy.
    2. The phone is having a hard time authenticating wifi connection when using WPA encryption.
    3. Thumbnails in the gallery does not match the original picture.
    4. Phone dies at 10% battery remaining.
    5. SIM card keeps ejecting
    6. Camera is more laggy and image quality is poorer
    Thanks,

Secondly can you give me full pros and cons of rooting. And also please can I  root my live with walkman on ics .587 directly without reverting to .62 and then upgrading again to 4.0.4 .587 by flashtool ??? And if not if i reverted to the gingerbread .62 can i upgrade again to official .587 ICs by flashtool ? And can I root just with the stock rom without changing it ( as i do not want to use any custom rom , i love sony's rom! and i do not like any unstable thing! is it possible and will it behave well with root access).

    Let's clear your doubt though.
    Ofcourse I'm a .
    And yes there is no kernel for xperiamini/ lww, but we use other kernels that help to root our phone
    While running the rooting toolkit, your phone should be on. Don't remove and reinsert battery at that step.
    It's only when you need to flash your phone using flashtool

    Have you tried removing the memory card and then inserting the memory card back in to the device, this may just be a communication issue with the SD card.

  • USB Mass Storage Mode Missing :-(

    I just upgraded? to the Samsung Galaxy S III today and have been very happy for the most part.  However...
    I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the only options to transfer files to the phone/SD Card are to use the MTP and Photo protocols.  I always loved my Android phone...built off of open source software...and using open standards (things like USB Mass Storage).  It is incredibly useful to be able to plug my phone into almost any PC, running any OS, and be able to transfer files to and fro.
    Where is the rest of the uproar?  When are we going to demand that one of the most useful features on our phone be put back.  It was already there...it was already working...and has been dropped for lame, limited use protocols...  Why?  Who is getting paid off?  Why? 
    Bring back USB Mass Storage Mode!!!!

    It is always a good idea to do some research...  I have followed your suggestion and found that Google has two reasons for using MTP instead of USB Mass Storage.  They  are:
      1)  “A main reason for using MTP rather than for example the USB mass-storage device class (MSC) is that the latter operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block (usually in practice, a FAT block), rather than at the logical file level. In other words, the USB mass storage class is designed to give a host computer undifferentiated access to bulk mass storage, such as compact flash, rather than to a file system, which might be safely shared with the target device (except for specific files which the host might be modifying/accessing). In practice, therefore, when a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, which then may not be safely modified by the device without risk of data corruption until the host computer has severed the connection.“  -sombody from Google
      --My Response - "I am totally OK with the SD card not being safe to be mounted.  During the time I choose to be connected (only when transferring files)...I DO want the PC and not the phone to be in complete control of the SD card."
    2)  “MTP is a big improvement over USB mass storage — for devices with lots of internal memory, a manufacturer no longer needs to come up with some hard partition between the USB mass storage and internal storage. Instead, they are all in one partition, with MTP providing access to the directory of media files that would normally be available through USB mass storage. This means there is no longer a need for apps on SD card for such devices, because what used to be the ‘internal SD card’ is in the same partition as where applications are stored. The storage on your device can be used for either applications or media, depending on what you want to put on it. You aren’t stuck with how much space the manufacturer decided to leave for the two areas." -somebody else from Google
      --My Response - "I am completely OK with the removable SD card being treated separately.  That is EXACTLY what I want.  I want to keep MY DATA separate and only on the removable SD card.  And all of the stuff that I don't care about...that can be easily reinstalled (apps and such) on the internal memory.  It is a good design.  The phone has enough internal memory that I don't have any trouble with space for Apps (so not a conern at all)."
      --My Overall Response - "The loss of flexibility, portability, and usefullness does NOT come close to justifying removal of the USB Mass Storage protocol.  I am still VERY disappointed."
