I do connect K750i to my PC using DCU-60 USB cable WITHOUT any SE drivers/software, and my PC detects "removable drive" in it. Same goes with K510i. So additional software. Works "on-the-fly", great!

However, it doesn't work on other PCs, other WinXPs doesn't recognize my K750i as a "removable drive" without SE software/drivers, which is a problem to me, since I would like to use K750i as a USB flash drive (have 1GB on it). Please note USB connection works with K510i on every PC.

What could be the reason for this and how to overcome it? SE support was not helpful.

Thanks,

Ivan

On the K750 there is a driver for the removable driver required, later models are compatible without drivers. I think the drivers were already installed on the PC which is working.

>I think the drivers were already installed on the PC which is working.

It makes sense, but the working PC was my home desktop PC -- I do know what was installed on it. I never ever had a SE suite/driver, nothing, for any model. I just plugged K750i in, and it did found some 5 devices on K750i and K750i as a "removable drive".

The only difference was: I'm running WinXP SP1, all other computer were WinXP SP2.

I guess I can not use K750i as a 1G flash memory stick, since:
- it's not widely automatically recognized (needs a driver or a Net access), and that takes time, and lot of other users do not want to have any new drivers installed;
- transfer rate is slow over the USB cable, it takes some 30 minutes for a 700 MB when uploading to a phone (a movie) = much more than flash USB 2.0.
- Bluetooth speed should be pretty the same, I have the old Bluetooth, there are 3x faster models now, but SE support told me cable speed meets the USB speed. (too slow)

This is totally off MPE topic, sorry guys, but I'll have to change the phone, and find some another SE (just not 3G large phones). BTW, new SE memory sticks, on models like K550i or K810, are much more expensive (my brother has one).

Thanks for reading this, Ivan

Äh - a 1GB-USB-Stick costs about 15€, i think this would be generally the better solution.

I do have two 1GB sticks, it's not a problem. Just everyone told me I would be able to use K750i THE SAME WAY as a USB stick. It appeared that was not true.
