[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hnk1:
Hi there

I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.

The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.

Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.

IF YOU ARE LUCKY

There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.

METHOD

If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.

You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.

Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.

IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.

This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.

Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then

FOR ADB DRIVERS :

Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.

Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.

Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone to the PC and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.

If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.

These drivers are seem to work perfectly on Windows 7 and it should work just fine on any other windows!

nope, windows 8+ is different
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] freeZbies:
I'm getting a lot of problems with drivers for this device, seems Sony's guys did it just to say:

"Ok, now this device got some drivers, lets play poker ::cool:"

It's serious. To get ADB driver working was a lot of work, just got it working because our friend Ashu1307 posted this link for me ( maybe it can work for ya= http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2552505)

Ok, that's nice since it was the only driver that's not working on windows 7.

I said windows 7

Now I'm on windows XP, tryied 2 machines already, and this goddam piece of **** don't have any driver working. Nothing, neither MTP, nor fastboot nor ADB nor flashmode (mass storage works, the ones I've quoted are detected, but don't work)

PC companion is another thing I'm hating. First I have to download the Web Installer, 27MB of nothing, since after the download it has to update because the sony's website offers outdated file. THen I download support zone, which detects phone but not the model.

What do I do? I'm going weird just about to break this phone on the wall, I never had so much problems on motorola's or samsung's or enen old sony ericsson's devices.

I went back to previous ROM and still no signal.

The page above says to install some separate kernel ZIP, could that have caused this issue? If so, how to reverse it?

Thanks and please if you need more info please ask.

Hi all,

I'd like to try some

system wide

signal processing on Android like, let's say, implementing a

realtime

high pass / reverb / echo.

I know that they are some equalizers available like kevinboone 's android simple equalizer, but this code

does not implement its own sound effect

: it is a GUI to run the equalizer of the Android API.

Is this possible on Android? (It is ok for me to write non-Java code)

Is OpenSL the right direction to look at ?

Hello,

In Android 4.4 there appears to be some pretty wicked Exchange mail issues and supposedly Google resolved according to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61785 and it looks like the CM guys merged fixes with http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54017/ I'm trying to look through the OmniROM gerrit not getting anywhere so far.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Hi,

I've not been able to receive authentication codes (via SMS) from sites like skype/facebook etc on my Nexus 5 for some reason. They have my "real" Sprint number (not the google voice number), and I don't have google voice integration (I only use google voice for voicemail).

I've sent an inquiry to Sprint, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has noticed this issue, and hopefully, get a workaround

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hshshawn:
Call Sprint customer service and tell them you want to enable sms "short codes" I believe is what its called by default Sprint has these disabled I had the same isue a few years ago. A quick phone call they will enable it on your account and should be good to go from there
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hnk1:
I am not sure about US but however, when I do seem to have such issues, I take my SIM out from my phone and then insert the sim in a basic phone like Nokia 1112 or any other basic set (SIMFREE). Then I just ask for Code on whatsapp/skype/viber etc using WIFI.

Either you get the code on your basic phone or you ask for a call to listen the code to authenticate it

I hope this helps and works for you too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Thanks [MENTION=2780167]hshshawn[/MENTION] - glad it is not a device specific issue (though it doesn't explain why my previous phone - S4 - was able to receive these). I'll ask Sprint to verify this. Maybe they disabled it when I switched over to the Nexus
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Thanks. In this case, I ended up requesting the code by Email, so that worked. But I'll try to call my carrier to confirm that they haven't blocked short codes.

I appreciate your response :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegasden:
I believe the only way is via USB...but you have to use an app as Android does not build in USB recording as does Windows. I use this app along with a USB interface and a microphone on this phone and my tablet. Works great and the dev is a great guy. He also makes a DAW (there's a free version) for recording and editing.

I use a pair of wired ear buds that have a built in microphone for calls. I'm running CM11 not stock but I just tested and "Sound Recorder" is more than happy to receive its input via the headset jack. I would believe it's just a matter of finding the right converter plug for your guitar.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdcrone:
I have used ASR for recording, works fine over the headset jack. It is a mono source of course. It won't work with a standard 3.5mm plug of course, you have to have the signal on the microphone portion - which is ground (silence) for the standard plugs.

I used the adapter that came with Dragon Naturally Speaking. It has two 3.5mm stereo plugs to one 3.5mm stereo+mic plug. If you use a 3.5mm stereo cable into the mic side of this adapter it works fine.

You could probably rig up something from Radio Shack, but I didn't have to because this worked, and I don't need the adapter for my computer so it was just sitting in the cord box... :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nostupidthing:
thanks to everyone who replied, truly.

it seems that there are 2 solutions...

1) usb sound w/dedicated app

2) cable that turns L/R input from TRS tip to M input on TRRS tip

the 3.5mm/trrs/(left/right/ground/mic) socket on the phone should work as tdcrone mentioned above. as long as a 3.5mm stereo+mic adapter available, or a custom cable that turns the original L or R input into M on the output end.

this is by far the simpler solution, **if such cable or adapter is available**, the caveat emptor is that the record will be mono, and there could be mic gain issues...?

otoh, the usb solution works, at the cost of having to get an adapter and apps for android costs.

[MENTION=1984776]Vegasden[/MENTION]: i see that both USB audio recorder pro and audio evolution mobile daw seem to work with usb recorder, and the latter one is just marginally more expensive?

edit: sorry, just realise that one also needs to buy usb audio recorder pro if she/he wants to use audio evolution mobile daw to do usb record
