I've been trying to connect my Z1 to my PC thru wifi instead of USB cable but it's not working. Everytime I try to use PC companion to set up wifi it fails when I get the 'install software' notfication on my phone. The device disconnects. The other half of the time PC Companion just freezes up at the 'connecting' screen. Has anyone had luck being able to connect the two thru wifi?
I have Windows 8
Thanks for any help.

i use activesync all the time, but for some reason now it wont connect at all, i can still charge the phone via the connection but either the phone or the pc doesnt see each other. Any ideas to the problem?
I just got a tilt and tonight, at work, I plugged it into one of our machines through the usb cable. Don't know if it is relevant, but we run linux here at the office. IMMEDIATELY after connecting phone, my wired connection to the pc got killed. Have rebooted pc and still nothing. The network is not down cause i can connect to other pc's on the network, but no internet. Im sure it was the phone because I tried it on another pc here at the office to see if it is the phone, and immediately after connecting the phone to the 2nd pc, the internet immediately went down. PLEASE HELP! Any ideas to why it does this. How can I fix it? Thank you!
The problem has been fixed. What it does it corrupt the /etc/resolv.conf. No idea why it did this???? Any ideas?? I don't want to connect my phone to the pc until I can figure out why it did this? Thanks
I'm trying to set my laptop up to use the td2 to get a connection to the internet. can this be done either via bluetooth wiFi or USB. I have tried to add a bluetooth network connection but the laptop keeps giving an error saying could not connect to the remote device.
When I plug mine into my laptop via USB, I get an option on the device to 'internet share'. Does this not happen for you? I'm not sure whether Windows Mobile Device Center is also needed, but it may be!
I did this today using a Macbook. The USB did not work on the Mac but Bluetooth did. I had to connect to the phone from the computer using ordinary bluetooth first (without network). Then I had to choose Internet Connection on the phone using Bluetooth PAN - which I assume is Bluetooth network. Also had to select Bluetooth PAN on Macbook - was a bit fiddly but it worked. Anyway it does work with USB on the PC see post 16 of the thread here.
cheers both, i will check out the other thread but when I connect the phone via USB to this (work) laptop, I get nothing. My home one uses Vista and Mobile Device Centre, but my work one uses XP.
typically, after a reboot the phone gives of the option to shart internet sharing but the laptop wants to install a rndis connection, but the only way to do this is connect to internet. ironic.
Ok, finally have a proper Interenet connection and downloaded Activesync 4.5 from MS. This looks like it will resolve the situation.
Hi all
I'm looking for some help. I have an Z1 however when I connect it to my PC the USB connection sounds but nothing happens and I cannot see the phone in the devices or my computer screen as a drive.
I have checked the connection settings and they are as per Sony guidelines I have checked in multiple USB sockets and no change, rebooted both PC and phone no difference.
Even manually downloaded sony connection manager and no difference. Anyone able to help?
Running windows 8.

Sony connection manager? Do you mean Pccompanion.
Anyway, enable development options by tapping your build number 5-6 times and then enable usb debugging.
See if that works.
I have been trying to root this phone, and I suddenly find a missing PC Connection Icon, and when connecting to USB, I do not get the Internet Connection option, only Charge, MTP, PTP. Anyone had this problem before?
