Sony Ericsson Device 1018 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) Driver

The Sony Ericsson Device 1018 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) driver helps Windows recognize the OBEX communication interface exposed by a compatible Sony Ericsson phone connected over USB. It is intended for users who need supported phone-management software to communicate with the handset, exchange objects such as files, or resolve a missing interface entry in Device Manager.

Key Features

• USB interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the Sony Ericsson OBEX interface rather than leave it listed as an unknown device.
• OBEX communication support: Enables compatible software to use the phone’s object-exchange interface, subject to the handset’s capabilities and connection mode.
• Serial-port identification: Supports the interface shown here as COM3. Windows may assign a different COM number on another computer or after reconnecting the device.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, provided the selected driver package matches your operating system and architecture. Although listed in the Network category, this interface is not a general-purpose Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.

How to Install Sony Ericsson Device 1018 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, check the interface’s hardware IDs against those supported by the driver package.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Sony Ericsson Device 1018 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) driver download for Windows, review the package’s compatibility information. If choosing a free download, use a trusted source and avoid unrelated installer utilities.
3. Prepare the connection. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary. Connect the phone with a working USB data cable and select the connection mode recommended by its documentation.
4. Install the driver. Run the included installer, if available. Alternatively, right-click the matching device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify operation. Restart if prompted, then check that the interface appears without a warning icon. Test communication using compatible Sony Ericsson software.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a connection problem or improves reliability. Choose the latest version that explicitly supports your hardware and Windows edition—not simply the newest package available. For Windows 10/11 systems, check support separately: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed. Avoid forcing an unsupported update onto a working installation.
