These phones take a "memory stick" flash memory card. Get one, 1gig or 2gig and put it in the phone.
THIS memory will be visible to the computer when you plug in the USB. These phones do not expose much of their internal memory, even though you see a device mounted. The phone and the memory stick show up as two separate devices.

You use the phones internal software to move music or pictures to and from the phones memory to and from the memory stick which will have a parallel directory structure.

Xperia wont turn on

Go to this site here:

http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/

Put in your phone's model number, then download the PC software for your phone. After that, plug your phone into your computer, and run the software (after already installing it).

The software should help to restore your phone.

Also, before any of that, try pressing and holding Power and Volume Up on the phone for 10-15 seconds, or until a menu pops up.

If the menu pops up, select whatever works for you (factory reset will delete everything).

If the menu doesn't pop up, you'll need to try the software on the PC. If that ALSO doesn't work, you'll likely need to send the phone in for repair.

Before that, however, make sure to try charging the phone with a different USB wire/charger, just to make sure the charger/wire isn't the problem.

How do i get out of ftm mode

Hello,

If you want to have the file transfer mode on your phone when you connect it to a computer.
Plug in the USB to the phone and connect it to the computer, once the computer reads it and install its drivers, then on your phone a page will pop up on the screen, there will be a list of options of file transfer mode, amongst others, all you have to do is to select the file transfer mode and you will be able to share files between the computer and the phone.

Take care and good luck

More than likely your games were write protected or copywrite material, so that when you moved them from your computer to the phone, they essentially were rendered useless.

How to download music onto my lg vantage cell phone?

  1. Plug the USB cable into the outlet on the phone. There is not a universal USB cable to fit all phones, so be sure you use the right cable for your phone. If you do not have a USB cable, go to a cell phone store and buy one for your specific cell phone. Plug the other end of the cable into an open USB slot on your computer.
  2. Open "My Computer" or "Computer" from your Start menu. Your computer should automatically detect the cell phone. Double-click on the cell phone's icon in the open window.
  3. Open the folder you saved the music in. Right click on the music file or files you want to place on the phone. To select more than one file, hold down the Control key while you click on the files you want to transfer to your cell phone. Select "Copy" from the menu that pops up when you right click the highlighted files.
  4. Click in the cell phone's folder window opened in Step 4. Right click in the middle of the window and select "Paste" from the menu you are given. This automatically starts to transfer the files to your cell phone. Once the transfer is complete, remove the USB cord and listen to the music on your phone.

My phones file wont pop up on my computer when i plug my phone into my computer

It could be that your pc is not running an automatic run or install. Try going to My Computer and see if it is on there with the other files such as your dvd burners. Sometimes I have to manually look for my stuff. Not fun but its not a catastrophe. If its there then I assume you can double click on it and it should take you there. If not there might be an issue with the 2 machines not speaking the same language. If thats the case I am out of ideas.

Good Luck!
