索尼xperia u与我的Windows XP笔记本电脑 -- usb 领域 和 usb-connection-mode 领域 和 usb-drivers 领域 android 相关 的问题

I have Windows XP and every time I connect my Xperia U, the computer thinks it a camera. I think it's a driver problem so I found the drivers on the Sony Website, but I'm not sure how to install them?

I installed the drivers, but my computer still thinks it's a camera. Any help?

There is problem with the MTP driver in Windows XP. It will connect in PTP mode thats why it is showing as camera. You can search in Microsoft forum for enabling MTP but still not sure whether it will work or not. Change the os or install Sony PC companion

If you've upgraded from gingerbread, Android 4.0 does not allow for direct mounting of the phone memory/sd. This means that your phone will show up as either a media player or camera.

You probably have the phone set to connect in PTP mode. When you connect, there should be a notification that you've connected to a computer.

Open that notification and it should allow you to select a different mode, usually either MSC (mass storage, used on pre-4.0) or MTP (media transfer, 4.0 and newer).

Alternatively, look in the settings for a USB connection mode option.
