Hello guys, i am new here and this is my first post. So first of all i want to say hi to everyone here and keep the good job.
Anyways, i have some questions about the xperia link app of my xperia Z phone. I have a lenovo laptop not a vaio, but i want to manage/answer/respond my phone calls, messages, notifications etc from my PC like the iPhones do via Mac. But sony says that xperia link will run only on Vaio laptop. Is there any way i can make it run on my laptop? Maybe someone knows any other app i can use? It will be very helpful for me.
Thanks in advance, wish you all a nice day
It should work on any pc as long as it is windows 8 or higher, if it doesnt work please upload a screenshot here or pm me if i dont get the notification.
Hi and thanks for responding, I have a Windows 10 Lenovo laptop. I install the application normally but when I launch it nothing happens. Just a little loading and that's all. I tried to change it to run in Windows 8 mode and with admin rights but nothing happened again.

Yeah, I just tried it with my HP laptop and apparently it does not work. However since Sony Vaio laptops are not being produced anymore, seems support for Xperia Link has ended since 2013. Maybe we can find another similiar program, btw does your laptop has bluetooth or you need to share via wifi. let me know

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've read lots of threads but cannot see anything...
Is there some way of doing video over IP from the phone (wifi / 3G) to a PC?
Take it easy before you flame me, its my first post
research microsoft portrait
Thanks for that, but having tried it the forward facing camera doesn't work and the performance is pants even over a g wifi link. Am I missing something?
Not sure what you're really trying to do, but if you want to use your phone as a web cam then check out webcameraplus. Still have to connect with data cable to pc because it connects through active sync/device manager.
are you asking if you can look through your phone's camera on your PC?
eg: Your phone is connect to an online service that enables and uses your phone's camera, then you would connect to that service from your pc and see through the phone's camera.....is that what you're trying to accomplish?
It should be able to be done, I had ran across a program not too long ago that allows you to control and see whats going on your mobile, it is able to connect through active sync/Device maneger and over the internet (wifi/3G) so you should be able turn on the camera from your pc and see through the camera from your pc.....I din't remember the name of it, but its out there.

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

On the WMWifirouter site there should be a list of devices that will not work.. I think PSP's do not work.
hi guyz, i bought my SP month ago and i had positive and negative reactions. SP has a lot of bugs, i hope that they are software bugs and that with new update, they will be removed. my biggest problem is that when i connect my phone to pc it doesn't show that it is connected, it isn't charging and pc companion doesn't recognise it. the funny thing is that i could charge (over pc) it 2 weeks ago and suddenly one day it won't charge. i tried with mass storage mode but it doesn't help too. it charges only when my PC is turned off but i don't need "another charger", i need to connect my phone with pc to transfer data. let's say that this doesn't matter if i can update my phone over wi-fi, but if i can't what the hell i'm gonna do ? i don't wanna go to repair it, it's a new cellphone ! i'm from Croatia and if someone knows : can i update over wi-fi or i have to connect it to usb ? because it says that in some countries it can update over wi-fi and somewhere it can't. i would be very grateful if someone could really help me, thanks !

i tried with nokia cable and it still won't charge.. dude, are you blind ? my drivers are up to date when i try over wi-fi (new drivers will come out soon), but i asked a question : in my country, can i update drivers via wi-fi or i have to connect it to USB ? you see what my problem is ?

how in god's name do you expect a PC to install drivers over Wi-Fi...
Of course you need to connect your phone with USB..
Do you have root or any app prohibiting the phone from connecting?

before you go and call someone trying to help you blind you should keep in mind they don't have to help you. that said try turning it off plugging it in then powering on while connected. you can every try pressing the button on the back to reset the battery.
Have you actually tried using another USB-port?
What you are refering to is an OTA, over the air software update, not a drivers installation
ok sorry, but i thought i explained everything.. i didn't say that i expect PC to install drivers, i said if i could connect my cellphone via wi-fi and download software updates without involving pc .. ? if i can, half of problem is solved..
hmmm, i'm not sure about any root app or something similar.. i have several games,whatsapp,soundhound,ringtone maker,instagram,file manager,di radio,accu weather, but i don't think that they are responsible for this..
i tried all usb ports. yup, maybe i said it wrong.
i'll try to reset it now.

hmm that's weird... if you can't connect with stock firmware, maybe it's a hardware problem? Does your PC recognize other devices on USB ports?
Does the phone charge while connected to AC adapter?

that's for OTA-updates and it seems there isn't one for your region/country or check update centre on your phone

Goodluck, mate. I'll keep searching solution for it, I'll report what I can find
Edit: My guess is that's hardware related. Maybe too low mAh to charge with the USB cables? I have no clue

Thanks ! I went to store to repair it on monday, and they told me to come in 3 days to pick up the phone. so i did but they told me that phone is still being tested cause it's relatively new. i think that this is the hardware problem and sony's poor socket charger quality. we will see..

i knew that they are noobish only in software field, but i always thought that it's not a big deal cause with new update the most of the bugs get fixed. now they proved that they suck also in hardware field, maybe not for flagships, but definitely for mid-range phones or lower.. i won't forget to ask what was the problem, don't worry
Hi to all,
Guys I recently purchased Windows 8.1 Laptop and I am not able to connect my N7000 to it via USB wire.
It connects but computer starts to make beep sound and phone connects and then disconnects within few seconds and then keeps on connecting and disconnecting. Goes into loop of connect and disconnect. I tried both MTP and MASS storage option but no use. Same is the case in both the options.
FYI: My phone connects to my office laptop with Windows 7 without any issue. It also connects with my 7 years old desktop with Win XP without any issue. But some how not able to connect it to Win 8.1 laptop.
Please help. I really need your support on this.
Edit: Tried connecting my Sis android phone (Galaxy S advance and Motorola Moto G). These phone also behave in the same way of going into connect and disconnect loop.
Regards
Mani
I switched to AirDroid and so do not need to get more gray hair anymore by trying the connection war with Samsung or my Nexus 7.
Maybe try this for yourself as an alternative.

Hi,
I've bought today a Lumia 930. But there is very serious problem with it... I can't connect to the Onedrive. It shows me, that I haven't internet connection and try again later.
I tried to do some hard/factory resets and login with three different microsoft accounts, but it doesn't work.
See some pictures please in attachment.
And one more thing with my broken 930... I can't do backup - "Wystąpił błąd, prosze spróbować ponownie" means in my language: "An Error occured. Please try again later".
Is it some kind of serious software bug, which I can only fight with warranty?
Could you try to help me, please?
Greetings,
Peter.

Hey, of course yes. I should be an idiot to post on XDA, when my WiFi simply doesn't work.
It's problem only with Onedrive and backup copy.
Now, I'm trying to do a recover via "Nokia Software Recovery Tool". It's very last chance for this phone in my opinion.
Greetings,
Peter.
EDIT: This method doesn't work for me. Onedrive error is still there.

Of course I've verified. From windows7 and from another Lumia (520 exactly). It's very serious problem, because this Onedrive and backup are key feature in WP 8.1
I suggest then, that you take it back to the store and swap it for another, and check OneDrive before you leave. I bought a 930 at the weekend, and OneDrive works just fine for me, so it's not a problem with the OS.
With such a new unit, it's probably not worth wasting time trying to debug it... Just swap it.
