Sonny Xperia Phone Transfer Of Photos.

[anotheoldgit]

I am still experiencing trouble copying photos from my Sony Xperia L phone to my computer.

I have tried the obvious method of connecting my phone to my computer via a USB cable, and although it recognises that a device has been attached, and a pop-up tells me to wait while the contents of my phone are loaded, nothing happens even after waiting several minutes, the same thing happens when I use Sony PC Companion.

I have even bought a Bluetooth dongle for my ancient computer and i can't seem to make that method work either.

Anyone help me please, please, please, I am getting desperate?

Try clicking on "computer".
On there it shows C and D drives - does the phone show up on there, possibly under a sub heading, portable devices, or something similar ??

I'm just wondering if you're having the same problem that I had with my Xperia S.
It lost its ability to connect to anything via the USB lead. I could still charge it, but I couldn't connect it to my laptop etc, as it wasn't recognised.
The way round it is to install an app called "Airdroid".
Install the app on your phone and then on your laptop go to http://web.airdroid.com/.
You can then transfer contents of your phone to the laptop over the internet - no need for a USB lead.
