Hi,

I bought the T28 cable for Sony Ericsson mobiles but when I connect my K700i, T610 or T105 I get always a "Didn't recognize usb device".

I have the Sony Ericsson Phone Manager, but I can't connect my mobiles! What's wrong? What I have to do?

Thanks,
Regards,
André.

"Didn't recognize usb device" means the software driver for your USB cable has not been installed, or not properly installed. Obtain the software driver from the cable manufacturer, or download it from http://tech.prolific.com.tw and look for PL-3203 SmartIO I/C

Sorry, my mistake.

My cable is this one:



The English version of the cable in the site of the seller :

http://rede-gsm.com/shop/prod[....]hp?products_id=112&language=en

and the Portuguese one:

http://rede-gsm.com/shop/prod[....]ufacturers_id=&products_id=112


Can anybody help me?

Thanks everyone.

Well, it seems that your cable is a serial (COM port) one, not USB, so:

- ensure that your computer has a free COM port
- check if the port is active (in Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager, if you're using Windows). It must be listed in the Ports section and reported as working ok, if you check its properties
- configure your phone software to connect to the phone using that COM port to which the cable is attached (so the software musn't try to connect through any other connection like USB, IRDA, Bluetooth)

- generally, you don't need any special driver for such a cable, so your phone software should be enough

If no chance for usb, get the rs232 serial. Good luck.

If it is a serial cable, why is it telling you "didn't recognize USB"? You can tell whether the cable is USB or serial by looking at the plug. No driver is needer for serial cable.

Also make sure that the COM port speed is set to 9600. This is done under Device Manager -> Ports

'Cause he has his software configured to connect to the phone through USB, that's why.

I guess the best reference would be

I don't think so. You can't REALLY configure the software to connect through USB because the USB cable will be seen by the software as a COM port(serial) device. A USB cable is in fact a serial cable with a built-in USB-serial adapter.

"didn't recognize USB" means you plugged in an USB device and there is driver for it.

I CHANGED THE CONECTION TO COM1 AND NOW IT WORKS!!!!!

But I really don't know what is wrong with my COM2 port... Strange things...

Thank you all.

Now, that I have connected my mobile, can you send me tips to improve it using my PC - Mobile (K700i, T610 and T105) connection?

Thank you again.

Regards,
André.
