I run zenxp overclocked, and it takes less than half that time. Don't think it can ever be instantaneous, though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heresy_fnord:
Running Aloysius 2.1 and it takes maybe 2 seconds at most.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atoz350:
Here's a tip. Download an app called Bubble by Ben Zibble from the market. Set it on a level surface on it's back and hit menu> calibrate. Then set the phone on it's side and hit calibrate again, then position it upright and calibrate it a third time. Your rotation will now be much faster.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
That would calibrate the sensor for the app. Not the whole phone. Its just telling the bubbles, when the phone is like this, make the bubble go here. Not if the bubble is here, set the internal phone sensor to think its here.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smolck:
Mine was slow as Christmas until I rooted and loaded a custom ROM.

If you don't want to do that then at least get the auto task killer from the market (free) and set it to help you. Also, if you are running stock 2.1 I'd disable your stock SMS app and use Handcent SMS. Turn off your GPS and turn off your Vibrate when typing. What tends to happen is that your phone will be doing A LOT in the background and it lags like your CPU would if you were running 10 programs at once. That is what the auto killer does, it kills stuff and keeps your phone running fast.

But I really recommend rooting and installing a custom ROM. I am not a developer, know little to nothing about linux, and I figured it out with the help of this forum. Everything you want to do has a step by step listed here. It is a great resource and you won't belive how much better your HERO will be with the custom ROMS.

I took mine to the Sprint store and ran it side by side with the Evo and honestly there isn't much the EVO can do that my Hero can't. :D

Kies synced with windows 7

Anyone had success with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Nope. No suck luck :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 1nfern0:
I had the issue yesterday. If you change the USB setting on the phone to select on connect it should work a lot better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
These are the drivers that i found, kies works perfect now.

:)

http://db.tt/ErGVyE
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Thanks for those, I will try them when I get my phone on monday (if Kies doesn't work with Windows 7 32 bit)

but what is the point of Kies though? lol to update firmware?? because on my HTC Magic Android I only use the mass storage for everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
Honestly its kinda useless. It only has a video converter app built in for the galaxy s. But you dont even have to have the phone connected to use it

~.~

btw im on win7 64bit and confirm it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Thanks, that worked a treat, can see the inbuilt ROM and SD card now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
tough luck..

man.. i am still having this issue for 2 days straight now..

uninstalled.. safe mode, reinstalled.. super admin.. device manager.. ccleaner..

nothing works for me.. my windows 7 ultimate 64bit is still not detecting my phone.. even using 2 version of Kies..

Any other suggestion(s)? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
Install the file I linked
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
Galaxy S MTP detection issue resolved!

got it working finally after toying with the application and the phone itself..

honestly, i did all the suggestions here including BuddyLee's suggestion but nothing worked including all my research from other forums.. what a waste of my time. :)

anyways, I finally got it working by doing "Format" for the internal memory.. unmount then format.. and yes, reset to "Factory Default".

after the phone restarted, I connected it to my Windows 7 Ultimate x64bit computer and success.. device manager finally shows GT-I9000, Kies shows it as GT-I9000 and My Computer as well.

Hope this helps anyone out there with the same issue where countless uninstall/reinstall, device manager troubleshooting, Kies Driver Recovery and Reset Phone to Factory Defaults didn't work at all.

:D:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vitalij:
For me it was enough to unmount/mount internal memory. And after plugging USB it immediately was detected by Kies

hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sambir:
I had the exact same problem i tried everything nothing worked so i rebooted the phone and BAM it worked :D

So reboot your phone then try again...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:

I was able to get the sync to work via Outlook.

Sometimes it say that mtp device is installed, but kies not see it, but recognise it as mass storage...

how can i solve this problem?

when i connect the phone as Samsung kies on the screen it say initializing but is not lock on this screen...

I have been trying for a few days uninstalling re installing it and also downloaing various drivers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
After installing Kies I rebooted my PC (Win 7 64) and then connected the phone. Kies has been working for me since day 1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
On my side I am on vista 32 and I had issues to connnect to Kies or WM11

Yesterday I had a serious problem with my laptop ( all the adaptor : usb, network ... driver gave me the error code 39 impossible to load)

Anyway I had to reinstall windows and guess what ... I reinstalled Kies and it worked this time ( when I siwtch off launcherpro and switch on Touchwz ...)

I used the same installer for kies so I don't know what has changed ... maybe because this new installation of windows never touched an iphone so it's still "pure " :D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] <<Raj$>>:
Kies works with Win 7, Vista

After spending 4 hours of searching for solution it worked well right after the purchase of the phone.

Basically we need to Unmount SD, Format, Mount the internal memory (SD) that is available for data (in my case 13.85 GB) and reset to factory settings.

Steps to follow :-

1. Settings -> SD Card and Phone Storage

1.2. SD Card and Phone Storage -> Unmount SD Card

1.3. SD Card and Phone Storage -> Format SD Card

1.4. SD Card and Phone Storage -> Mount SD Card​

2. Settings -> Privacy

2.1. Privacy -> Factory Data reset​

The phone will be reset to the factories default condition (YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOU DATA, INSTALLED APPS :mad::mad::mad: ).

Once after the phone restarts, connect the USB cable to the mobile and to the PC. Works like cheese; the Kies automatically detect phone well and was able to do it.

:mad::mad::mad: SHAME ON SAMSUNG TO MISS OUT A SMALL STEP THAT TAKES THE USERS FOR A RIDE :mad::mad::mad:

PS : The issue is not on all SGS's as I heard from my friend who never had any issue with respect to the Kies connectivity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jason544:
When I try to open kies it doesn't open windows error reporting comes up with the name of mainstage in the title bar i am on windows xp not sure what is causing this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I had Kies install the drivers onto my computer 3 or 4 times, so I had my fair share of issues but I never had to reset my phone. I think restarting the phone, restarting windows and kies are all better solutions than what you have provided, but as they say..."desperate times...desperate measures..."
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brantyr:
Mine shows up as an MTP device only (doesn't show up as a flash drive at all) in windows 7 x64 after I turned off USB debugging, before that it didn't show up at all. Bit annoying but does what I need it to.

I tried that link to download the USB drivers, BuddyLee. It redirected to http://dl.dropbox.com/0/view/x6z8csfyr8mybsa/I9000/usb_drivers_GalaxyS.zip but then says 'forbidden'

Can you upload again please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] joedoe:
Don't bother, the latest Kies installs the same version of drivers!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EddiJoJo:
Seems there might be an issue with Windows 7 64 bit and launcher pro. As soon as I disable Launcher Pro, it works fine. But once I activate it will only give me a message going something like this;

"Computer connection only available in wait mode. Close all programs running". The only thing I have running is the darn Launcher Pro :(

THIS is the problem I have. apparently i need to close launcher pro? sigh.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] igniztion:
Yes this is the problem, since TwLauncher seems to be the app that handshakes with Kies, TwLauncher needs to be active and on the homescreen for Kies to find the phone.

I use Home Switcher from Market and just switch to TouchWiz in the rare cases I wanna use Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vineet_d:
Galaxy S screen flickers...

I installed the latest version of Kies (1.5.1.10074_2) on WinXP SP3. I am unable to connect my device because it never gets recognized. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Kies s/w several times but of no use. Whenever I connect my device via USB (Samsung Kies mode) its screen starts flickering (showing MTP Appliction initializing) and on the PC I get this.

* When I connect by phone via cable the tray notification bubble pops up:

"Found New Hardware

MTP Device"

* Kies will show:

"Connecting the device...

Please wait"

* After a few minutes I get a notification:

"A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly."

Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] zalmael:
Hello,

i'm new on this forum, sorry for my english i'm french :)

On this page (sorry i can't post links because i'm new but it's on gizmodo) we can read that Samsung have found the problem. It seems that MTP application crash when there are files with more than 16 characters extension and say that is very rare.

That's why when you format internal SD card, it fixes the bug.

But when you look at the SD contents on your computer,you can see some folders beginning whith (.) like .downloadtemp.

I'm don't know very well linux systems but i know it's used for hiding files/folders. But in windows systems it's just an extension.

When an app create a hide folder to store settings it may corrupt the link with MTP Application which crashes...and windows can't install drivers

What do you think about this theory (i can't test now, i'm at work) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jason544:
My kies wont even open

[Galaxy S I9000 General] chtan:
I believe one of the culprit for prevent the sync is launcher pro.

I learn this a hard way. Before using launcher pro. my unit sync with my lappy without any problem (which is running on win7 32bit). But after installing launcher pro. immediately i can't get my lappy to detect my unit anymore. After searching high and low, i managed to get it run again but only unloading the launcher pro from my unit.

I believe the problem was due to launcher pro over taking the main screen and prevent it to go into idle mode which is needed for MTU to connect. I happens to see the message flashing on my unit stating that it needs the main screen in idle mode for a connection to establish.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TeoLinuX:
it's a name length problem

You're right! After a backup I deleted the folders in the internal SD card (not the external one!) containing files with very long names or beginning by "."

Then, after reconnecting the phone as KIES it worked perfectly!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CaptivateDroid2:
Its fixed, the mtp connection with kies and phone

YES THE 16 DIGIT THING IS THE PROBLEM!

I had to rename pictures (didn't have that many), since the number scheme given by the captivate is over 16 digits long.

I deleted a Facebook notification tone. deleted the sky something or other browser, full of 16 character / digit files. etc.

IT WAS SIMPLE AND IT WORKED, DELETE ALL FILES THAT ARE 16 CHARACTER/DIGITS LONG AND KIES AND CAPTIVATE LOVE EACH OTHER.

NOW I'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OTHER 16 CHARACT FILES ARE ADDED IF i WILL HAVE THE SAME CONNECTION ISSUE, I SURE HOPE NOT, I CANT SEE MYSELF GOING IN AND CHANING PICTURE NAMES, UNLESS I CAN GET THE DEFAULT NUMERATION IN THE CAPTIVATE TO CHANGE.

THANKS TO THE FRENCH! MERCI BEAUCOUP MON PETIT AMI!

My MTP driver fails to install on my new 64bit windows 7 laptop. Any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opensourcefan:
Bottom line Kies should work out of the box without all this messing around... drivers this drivers that, 16 digits here and there... come on. It's clearly not a completed application and Samsung should really fix it. Nothing else on my PC behaves in such a manner. I am fed up with it, two days now and nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 1968falconxt:
I am sick to death of my phone. I have tried everything for 3 days. I reckon i have tried every suggestion on google!!

I have formatted my internal & external SD cards, installed 3 different versions of Kies. Installed different drivers over and over....and still get the same damn "MTP device not installed properly.....bla bla"

All i want is to upgrade my firmware....why the hell is it so hard? I dont want to have to root my phone and put on a firmware that will void warranty, but my crappy JF3 firmware sucks! keeps failing sms sending/recieving and wont allow calling until phone is reset.

I spoke to Optus, and they told my to basically suck it up and email Samsung....what a joke!

I thought this phone was the one of the best in the world.....im rapidly losing my confidence in it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yzerenthijs:

Hello,

I also had a lot of issue's with Kies. I also tried a lot. But the one thing that helped was removing SOUND HOUND (application and directory)

Hope this helpes for some people!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbadger:
Been having this problem.. 1st fix was to reformat the internal SD.. reinstal Kies and it started working. However, the problem came back after I used the phone to take pics and store stuff on the internal. 2nd fix unmount and remount internal SD, then unmount the external SD. This has worked to get the connection working again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alis333:
first of all a have to say it's not 16 character problem, it's a bug with the files which have larger than 16 character extension.

if you have MTP USB device problem just follow this solution:

Close Kies on PC

Connect the phone to PC / Laptop & Select Mass Storage Mode.

Select the USB icon from the Notification section in Samsung Galaxy S to Mount the drive.

You should now see Phone’s Internet Memory (& SD Card) in My Computer.

Download the attached file.

Run the utility click search, then select Phone’s Drive and then SD Card’s Drive (if you have SD card in your phone).

The utility will find the bad files’ list and now you have to go to that location in My Computer and delete all the files listed and then do a research.

Do the same steps for Phone’s Memory & SD Card (if you have one in your phone).

Disconnect your phone and re-connect the USB.

This time select Kies PC Suite option and 100% it will install the MTP USB Device without any problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jesterc:
This seems to have got rid of my endless looping and mtp drivers seemed to have installed - Kies just won't see the device now - some progress I guess. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jesterc:
Re-boot once, uninstall Kies, Install Kies, unistall Portable Dirver - then it re-installed itself and I can once again see my phone. Now ready for 2.2!!

Thanks alot for posting the help - really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dutchseal:
question

so if i just put my phone to factory settings and put my ext sd out of it

it will install the MTP driver and then i can connect to kies ?

just to be sure

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mlj11:
Sorry, but I don't see any file attached to your post. Could you re-attach it?

Nevermind, I logged on using my PC and saw the attachment. It didn't show up on my mobile app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mundano:
This seems to work to many users, but not to all... My SGS refused to connect to Kies even after delete all files from internal flash memory and after remove SD card.

Apparently other Apps can store cache files in the ROM of the phone, and if some of those files have more than 16 characters that would crash the MTP app..

The solution for those like me that have the same issue even after deleting all files with more than 16 characters from the internal and SD storage, is to run one of the cache cleaners existent in the market.

This one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.aac.cachemate.demo ,with the option "PowerClear" turned on, seems to be really effective.

After cleaning all the cache's from the phone withe Cachemate the MTP USB Device installed instantly, and now my SGS connects to Kies without any issues..

NOTE: to use programs like cachemate you need to have root and busybox. Also, clearing cache's in a brute manner like those programs clean it, potentially can cause problems... It worked great for me, but i cant give any guaranties to anyone.. Try it at your own risk....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizconnect:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TedBeer:
Just finally solved the same problem for Windows XP. Here the solution:

- uninstall MTP device driver (presumably the driver date is 2004, check in properties)

- I don't know if necessary but I did - remove from windows all related files : wpdmtp*.*

- !!! download Windows Media Player version 11. It contains updated drivers.

- install the player

- connect your device

Now it's recognized in the Device Manager as GT-I9000. And the driver date is 2006. After that Kies connects successfully.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tigersaid:
Please please..

Help me out people! let me make this work!

I have looked in to this from 19:50 until now 00:12!!

My back hurts and Im very frustrated.

I run XP 32bits.

I have latest Windows Media player 11.

I have latest Kies.

I have everything original, never done lag fix or root on this device.

The Mass storage works fine!

All driver installations are fine except this MTP Device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have tried so many guides!

My kies on the cellphone dose not crash, it's just that the MTP Device driver dose not get installed.

I have Factory reseted my cellphone and have no External SD card inserted.

The internal SD card is Unmounted and Formated and Mounted many times.

All I want is to get this MTP Device installed.....

Is there any driver that I kan find???? Im getting mad realy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TedBeer:
What the current state of the MTP driver:

- when you select Samsung Kies on mobile is it started correctly?

- what name is in the device manager? "Android MTP" or "MTP Device" or "I9000"?

- what date of the driver?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NagyBaj:
For those of you that missed my post in the other thread:

For those of you still having issues with Kies recognizing your phone...

With the phone connected to your pc, go to device manager and check if there is a yellow exclamation mark icon next to "android MTP".

If there is, then follow the instructions below. If there isn't then I'm sorry but this won't help.

1.) Right-click the yellow "!" and choose "update driver".

2.) When given the option to connect to Windows Update, choose "no, not this time" and click next.

3.) Choose "Install from a specific location (advanced)" and click next.

4.) Choose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click next.

5.) Click the "Have Disk" button. Browse to C:\Windows\inf and choose the file marked "wpdmtp.inf"

I hope this helps most of you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tigersaid:
It starts correctly.. It says "Connected" on phoneand the device name says "Android MTP" the date of the driver is "Unknown" There is not driver at all... I have a yello "

In the info it says Location: SAMSUNG_Android and above Portable Device. And thats all the info there is, the rest is unkown. Nothing specially written..

I tried that to install the file wpdmtp.inf dose not help.. I tried now to choose the inf Folder also when asking for driver but it cannot find any "MTP Device" it could not be found... :(
