Hey, I need a little help with this here.
1. I flashed Jelly Bean (9.1.A.0.490 Stock Generic-Intl) on my Xperia V yesterday. Before that, when I had ICS, I had paired my laptop and phone via WiFi, so that I could have access to the phone's data whenever, without having to run for the USB cable all the time.
2. Under "Trusted Devices" in Settings --> Xperia --> USB Connectivity it says there are no trusted devices (which is correct, considering that I have NOT paired my phone with my laptop after flashing).
3. Sometimes (especially after shutting down my laptop), in the notification bar I see that the phone is "Awaiting Connection" from my laptop (which is strange, given that I have NOT paired my phone with my laptop after flashing). Tapping on that notification does nothing. It is swipeable, though.
4. I tried to pair my laptop with my phone over WiFi after flashing and I get an error message (see the attached screenshot for the error) on the phone, while PCC says "Failed to connect over WiFi" (or something to that tune). (Now this is really weird, given that PCC should be able to read/write into the protected part of my phone's memory.)
5. I have long pressed the notification, and then tapped "App Info", which took me to the app in the Apps, under Settings. I cleared app data, and force stopped it. Then I restarted my phone, and tried to pair, with the same result. (In fact, the screenshot was taken after this attempt.)
Lastly, I have made some conclusions:
1. Somehow my phone thinks that it is paired with my laptop, because the message appears in the notification bar only after shutting down my laptop. However, I cannot see my phone in my laptop, nor see that the phone has connected with my laptop anywhere in the phone.
2. Solving this the easy way would require me to root my phone, and delete the file myself. But I don't want to root, not just yet. Maybe in some time, but not just yet.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance! (I promise, upon my honor, to hit thanks on all those posts that help!!)
Kartik.
Ps. I know it got kinda long, but I thought that it would be better to expose all my cards, for your convenience.
Solved
Ok. Here's what I did.
Rooted

Thank you.

Hi guys,
After many hours and days of searching google for a solution to this I'm still stumped.
I have a Galaxy S i9000 running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (had same problem with previous versions also) and I am trying to connect it to my Nokia 616 car kit in "hands free" mode, however, it keeps automatically connecting via "remote sim mode". I can confirm there is no way to disable rSAP (remote sim mode) through the nokia 616, nokia staff were not very helpful either.
There was an option in my old Samsung Jet (i think it was running touchwiz) bluetooth settings which allowed me to switch remote sim mode on and off. The only setting that exists on my SGS is after I connect to the nokia 616 i get the "Deactivate Remote Sim Mode?" option from the drop down bar... However, when I do so, the connection to the car kit is lost and upon reconnect it automatically connects using "Remote Sim Mode", regardless of how many times i try an "deactivate" it...
The only posts I could find about deactivating remote sim mode tell me to hit "Yes" to "Deactivate Remote Sim Mode", then to switch bluetooth off and then on. This does not solve my issue. Problem persists.
The only thing I can think of now is somehow finding perhaps a command line instruction that I can run from terminal to disable remote sim mode or even change a config file somewhere to deactivate it.
Does anybody have any idea how this can be done or maybe just give me a lead on where I can search next, I've hit a dead end with this now and im sure it can be done, somehow.
Thanks heaps for your help.
I'm sorry I cannot help you with this problem, but at least you're not the only one: I have exactly the same problem, but then with a Nokia 616 and a Galaxy S2.
I want it to connect with the normal HFP, so I do not loose the internet connectivity on my phone...
SOLVED Finally!
So after a while of searching then giving up, then contemplating ripping out my nokia 616 car kit and setting it on fire, I decided to revisit this issue and here is how I managed to disable/remove/deactivate remote sim mode or rsap... please note that I havnt really tested to see if this affects any other bluetooth functionality (i dont think it does though) so do at your own risk...
I ended up flashing my galaxy s with Darkys rom 10.2 extreme edition which gave me some nifty options of removing some stock bluetooth apps... I noticed there were a number of bluetooth related apps there, Bluetooth.apk , BluetoothOpp.apk, BluetoothPbap.apk, BluetoothTestMode.apk and the devil himself BrcmBluetoothServices.apk... at first i uninstalled them all except Bluetooth.apk, my phone starting throwing some bluetooth error which was expected, these errors disappeared after I rebooted the phone... I noticed that the 616 no longer connected using rSap (victory!), however, I was almost certain that not all of the apps i removed above would be causing the issue, and im sure that if anything having them removed would cause issues elsewhere so the process of elimination began... I reinstalled them all again, rebooted my phone, sure enough remote sim mode was back, then one by one i uninstalled, rebooted, tested, etc etc untill i came to the conclusion that the app responsible to rSap was in fact BrcmBluetoothServices.apk, after uninstalling it and rebooting Hands Free mode works a treat, I still get a "download error" when i try to download my contacts to the 616 but Im not to fussed about it, at least i can still use all the functionality of my phone in my car now, internet etc etc... as mentioned earlier I dont know if this will have any effect on the other uses for bluetooth so do be careful, not a huge issue because it can be easily reinstalled if nessecary using DarkysRom Tool...
Now I am sure this can be done on a stock firmware, you would most definitely need to root the phone and then find some sort of system app manager to hunt down BrcmBluetoothServices.apk and remove it...
Thats it! If anybody can work out how to successfully download contacts to the nokia 616 please post it here or pm me.
First of all, my HTC One is not rooted. My PC has Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit.
Here is how my problem started (the phone not being seen problem may have existed prior to this). I connected my phone to my computer (a sound played during connection). Autostart opened Windows Explorer showing the phone storage. I double clicked to find the folder where my videos were. I right clicked the video I wanted to transfer to my PC, chose 'cut', right clicked the desktop and chose 'paste'. The video disappeared from the folder on the phone, but was not on the desktop. I refreshed the desktop, but the file still did not appear.
I restarted both the PC and the phone. Tried reconnecting and started getting notifications in the taskbar 'installing drivers', as if the phone's driver's had been uninstalled. The driver installation failed. I tried a Windows update and found updates available, but the installation failed (code 800F020B). I ran System File Checker and repeated the above, but the update failed. Strangely though, if I opened Explorer, the phone showed up (however on some occasions it didn't).
I therefore installed 'Undelete 360'. Tried to access the phone to retrieve files, but the program couldn't see the phone (even though I could access files via explorer). I thought it may be the software, so I tried 'Remo Recover', but the same happened again.
I have also tried uninstalling drivers (unknown device in Device Manager) and restarting, but to no avail.
I have the latest version of HTC Sync Manager installed, but this program seems to be of no use.
The phone is in USB debugging mode and when attached to the PC is showing 'MTP Enabled' (I can't find anyway to change this). Android version 4.3. The only other noticeable problem on the phone is that HTC Sync, which was supposed to be in sync with Gmail, is hsowing 'Sync Off' and I can't switch it back on.
I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this. My objective is to retrieve the video files I tried to 'cut' and 'paste'.
You probably can't get the file back, sorry. The device connects with MTP which does not support the required low-level operations. I highly doubt an app from the Play store would work, but its your best bet.
In future you'd be better off copying and then deleting.

Thanks for your reply Ben. That's bad news.
So the fact that it only connects with MTP means that the device may not be visible in certain circumstances and I'll have to live with that. This doesn't explain why from time to time when I connect the phone, my PC starts to install drivers and sometimes the instillation fails. There seems to be something else afoot.
Moto G 2nd Gen XT1063 won't connect to my Windows PC after the Marshmallow update. In the past, I would see two folders upon connecting (one of them being the SD card). Now I just see an empty folder, and when I try to copy a file into it, I get the "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped or has been disconnected" message in Windows.
USB debugging is enabled. I uninstalled/re-installed Motorola Device Manager (2.5.4), but that did not do any good.
Any help will be appreciated.
Note: I f***ing hate this. Whoever rolled this out without properly testing should be fired. I wish I could go back in time to this morning.
OK, here's how I solved this, and hopefully it'll help others:
Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration
In my case, MTP was shown to be already selected (as it should be).
I clicked on the "Charging only" option. This disconnected the device from the PC.
Then I selected MTP AGAIN. That did the trick (there was some driver install message that was displayed in Windows). Then the connection folder showed the familiar "Internal storage" display.
I cannot believe that as users, we have to go through this crap. Shame on Motorola/Lenovo/Google.
Spoke too quickly - it seems the phone loses the MTP setting every time and it has to be set over each time you connect to the PC.
Not exactly the answer to your question, but I was helping a friend who also has a moto g and a similar problem, and after we achieved nothing he just went with Droid Over Wifi as an alternative. Works pretty well imo, more reliable than mtp

Sphynxie, thanks for the link, will try it out.
By the way, I have since learned that this is how it works in Marshmallow:

Appreciate those links, that's some nice insight into Google's continued efforts to make file transfer over usb as awful as possible. IMO MTP isn't worth dealing with. My own phone got updated recently so I also switched to wireless solutions. Unless I happen on a pc without any wi fi access, I won't be using a cable anymore.
So as the title says, I can't use the cast/screen mirroring feature in phone. I just cannnot connect to any tv
Whenever I try to cast, it doesn't show any devices at all. Null. and using the button from the notification dropdown, it just searches endlessly.
Some notes:
1. No problem with network. No problem with TV. Other phones work just fine, and doesn't take more than a minute to find device.
2. I tried not only on my TV but on other TV's as well with cast feature. My TV is Hisense smart 39", 39A5605.
3. Already did several restarts, disabled active apps (like adguard), still same.
4. My phone is using the latest PIE update (official update but sideloaded)
5. Already tried connecting on the same WiFi network. Still didn't work. Other devices can connect to the TV without the need to connect on the same wifi network.
6. Already tried turning both mobile data and wifi while scanning. still nothing.
7. Already tried disconnecting current wifi connection (set network to 'forget) but left wifi on while scanning. Still no device found.
8. Already tried installing some apps (like Google Home app and other cast app). Nothing.
9. Already went to developer options and turned on 'Wireless Display Certification', but no additional options show up on my cast screen (like listening mode etc). Just plain nothing.
10. There's no three-dot menu on the cast screen that will show 'enable wireless display.' just a search icon on the top right and nothing more.
I really wanted to find a solution, but can't find a specific fix. I hope somebody here will help. Please. Please I'm desparate.
By the way, I know some will say I should do a factory resetting, but please understand if I say no for now. Because if I do, I'll lose a lot of settings and configuration (system-level and app-level), among other hassle it may incur.
Try connecting the TV on the same wifi as your phone and use xcast from playstore. My LG TV is a bit finicky when it comes to connection so xcast helps. But I do have the certification options on the cast screen. Since, you said you sideloaded Pie, if xcast doesn't work, maybe try resetting the device.

Thanks for the kind response. So I tried x-cast (though it uses a different name in the playstore now). Funny thing is, x-cast says it found the tv, which it did, and says it's connected via DLNA. So the phone can actually detect the tv, but why need x-cast? However, TV doesn't show any signs of connections or response. When I also try to play any video inside x-cast app, it's just stuck in loading. (see screenshot). Did I miss any step here?

This is the screen where the TV usually connects. I am sorry but I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps for now.
last night, I did a factory reset. Didn't do anything go. Just caused me a lot of trouble.
Just got a GW5 Pro and thought I'd have a play with WFS so I can have everything match. After a day of learning things I hit a wall where I couldn't find the info on complications I was after. I thought the best way would be to just take a best guess approach and just test the face and see. Here's where the problem happened.
Attempt 1:
I followed the instructions on connecting my watch to the PC WFS for testing. The software couldn't see my watch. I tried multiple times turning all the settings off and on again and going through the steps 1 by 1 and double checking what I was reading.
Attempt 2:
After giving up I went through the instructions for instead using my phone (S23 Ultra) connected to my PC via USB cable, connect to GW5 with bluetooth. Seemed easy enough until I hit the issue of turning on bluetooth debugging on my phone. I looked everywhere for it, it doesn't exist. I could see my phone in WFS but not my watch.
Attempt 3:
Third attempt was to just "build" the face and load it manually. It gave me 2 files APK and AAB, I put them in a shared folder and installed the APK on my phone through the network. After a couple of security warning popups it finished and it didn't do anything that I can see. I tried copying both the files onto my phone and reinstalling the APK. Still no luck.
So, after trying 3 different ways I'm lost as to what to try next. There's no point spending more time on building my custom watch face if it's not even possible to use it.
Thanks heaps in advance for the help and suggestions.
this is interesting, because from what I've tested (totally basic level, to be fair), I've got MOST issues with signing apk file. After that it went well.
If you cannot see your watch in debugging mode, delete their remembered ID and try to connect again. That trick helped me few times, when installing ECG workaround.
I'm completely new to this, what do you mean by "delete their remembered ID"?
in other words, maybe "unpair" or "forgot" your watch will be better word to this? Don't know exact words, because I'm using watch studio in my native language (which isn't English).
I remember that I've got similar issues and had to completely remove watch from known devices in watchface studio.
Its currently only paired with my phone. I tried turning BT off on my watch , then turning on wifi, connecting to my home wifi (turning on adb debugging and debug over wifi). Hit scan on my PC, nothing. Entered the IP address of my watch, nothing.
Idk if unpairing would help if I have BT off. Would it muck anything up unpairing and repairing?
Some warning that if you unpair from the phone you HAVE to do a complete wipe of all data on your watch before you are allowed to pair it back again would have been nice to know.
So after that my PC can still not see my watch over wifi.
