I have installed the letest version of Kies (Kies_1.5.1.10071_32). When I try to link the phone to pc in Samsung Kies mode there is no reaction from the pc.

If I connect in Mass storage mode I can see 2 drives in windows explorer.

I have Un-installed Kies, rebooted and re-installed.

I have removed the drivers that were installed and retried.

I tried to contact Samsung support. Their response was:

1. De-install.

2. Reboot

3. Remove USB drivers.

4. Install Kies.

5. Re-check by connect.

when advised this did not work and that I had tried on another computer with same results I was told that there was a 'configuration problem'

They do NOT support configuration problems.

I said that problem appears to be that no drivers is being loaded that is compatible. Their response was 'we do not support' :mad:

They said could try format pc hard drive and reload Windows then hard reset phone.

Can any one help.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium

PC is Samsung laptop R580. (yes I know but still not supported).

In advance of any help I thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisduffer:
I had a similar issues earlier. My SGS would ay it was going into Kies mode then flash back to the home screen, then back to kies mode. This was both on my Win 7 and XP PCs.

I had to use Odin to totally reinstall the firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rkantos:
Is your W7 x64 or x32?

This topic should be made sticky. I had the same problem too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MotoBorg:
I have noticed on some other sites that people seem to say that a previous version of Kies may work. Does any one have access to previous versions.

One site suggested version 1.5.1.10056.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MotoBorg:
Sorry forgot that part. It is 32 bit.

In case it helps list of apps installed, other than standard: (But do not think any will interfer as I am on the 'idle' or home screen after close all.

# Advanced Task

# Air Control

# Bump

# ES File Explorer

# Jewels

# Klaxon

# Labyrinth

# MeteorLite

# Motris

# Setting Profiles Full

# Smooth Calendar

# System

# tCalendar

# Tower Raiders

# Tricorder

# TV Guide UK Pro

# Unit Converter

# UNO

Any help greatfully received - Many thanks to rkantos and chrisduffer for quick updates.

If I find anything else out will post here. Some one else is always having the same problem. If I can ever help I always share my experience and solutions.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Crunched:
Same issue here. Formatting my PC didn't solve the issue (I needed to do it anyway, thankfully).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Are you using a different launcher perhaps? Make sure you have touchwiz set as the default launcher or kies will not connect to the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MotoBorg:
Have just found a message on the Samsung community site.

The pertinent message is:

This is dated 21/6/2010

link to page is:

http://forumuk.samsungmobile.com/PostsList.aspx?ForumPostID=200454
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MotoBorg:
The only apps installed are per above. I found that the installed launcher (touch-wiz) works ok for me and am happy with it. (well someone has to :) )

Any further advice?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ryukent:
connection to keis can be easily fixed

I had this problem too. It was caused because only in idle mode of the Samsung home rancher can keis connect. You may have installed a different launcher. Try the following:

Put use to keis mode in settings

download home switcher from the market

run home switcher an set touchwiz as default home

Reboot phone (task killing other launchers don't work for me.)

make you phone is in the home screen - press home to get there

now connect the cable with keis running on pc

sync everything you need to

In future I suggest you move all contact to Google so they sync over the air and you'll no longer need keis. crappy software!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MotoBorg:
Tried suggested by ryukent and did not seem to work for me.

I have now decided to give up on Kies and use alternate software.

# Google for contacts

# Use MTP mode for devise management.

# Sync music with MediaMonkey
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Where did you get that version of kies? From samsung-firmware-webs.com?

I think that's not an official release and It seems that it has connection issues.

Kies tells me the latest version is 1.5.1.10062
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emelie:
according to the website it's 1.5.1.10071_32

download-link at the samsung apps (http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as): http://img.samsungapps.com/support/Kies_1.5.1.10071_32.exe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Strange then why does Kies not find the update like it usually does?!? Those with connection issues I would still give the older version a shot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Quick Question, I'm in the US, but using the Euro SGS. When installing kies, I should select UK instead of US, correct? Or does it not matter?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trinikartel:
Doesn't matter. Kies "location" is basically for installing of Samsung Apps as it displays apps for your region only. However, since there are no apps from Samsung (other than the default already on the phone) it doesn't matter.

I chose UK on desktop and US on laptop if u were wondering...no difference (that i can tell at least)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
..i suggest you skip kies.. not a good application at the moment.

..what I do is to extract the installer and copy the USB driver from my temp folder in windows 7.

..install the driver and you are set.. your phone will be detected.. you can now use drag and drop method or 3rd part application to transfer media or applications to your phone. :)

..as per "ryukent", make sure you have the TW Launcher set as default and use Home Switcher.. very useful app. :)

..and if your issue is something where your phone is not detected even if you have TouchWiz enabled and the phone is always trying to connect but never successful.. it might be the time to perform a "format" on the Internal SD card and "restore" the phone to Factory Default.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ronlkh:
Kies will not work once you have installed too many application in your SGS. But it will work well once you reset your SGS to default setting.

or

Try to take out and put back the USB till it can detect.

Check it out
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spenceee:
I have the same problem. It's clearly to do with either an app or setting in the phone, possibly media causing the phone to fail to connect to kies.

At home Vista 32 will cause MTP application to continually crash to the touchwiz UI and then rerun MTP application ad nauseum. I have a totally stock SGS, no launchers nothing. This is a BUG on the phone software.

At work, (XP 32) the launcher simply says initialising and sits there forever.

I have raised a support email with samsung but I haven't heard anything back yet. I reset my phone once to make it work again, but I'm not going to do that again, I finally have the config the way I want it and all my contacts in the right spot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jacob12:
Drivers

I also had some trouble in the beginning. But I loaded new drivers and now it connects to Kies every time. I have Windows 7 64 bit at home and Vista 32 bit at work. Both work fine. Found the drivers when I googled this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spenceee:
I tried the older drivers and still got the same issue when I tried to use the kies connection.

ps: installing on windows 7 32 bit currently.

ps2: same thing on windows 7 32 bit :((
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
My problem was that kies would never load up for me (win 7 32bit) and just crash at the intro screen. Wasn't a major deal as I found the external drive setting and been using it since. I'd give KIES a go again in the future I guess but so far I have no use for it. But for newbies I would think its a must as it converts vids and pics on the fly to your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Morghus:
It's all nice and well to be a newbie that needs it. It's the only place I'll get a bloody firmware upgrade without flashing, no?

I need to connect to Kies, but that's not working. God damn this software is pissing me off. I think I've tried every trick in the book now, but it's just not working, all I get is the restarting MTP initialization, and that's it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rtorbs:
I had the same problem....try connecting the phone to pc while switched off and then turn it on plugged in...worked fine for me (only need to do that once....was ok after)

Also if your running launcher pro you'll need to switch back TwLauncher...as Kies doesnt like apps running when you connect and it see's launcher pro as an app. If you've disabled and made launcher pro you sole launcher youll need to 'clear defaults' for it by going to Settings\Applications\ManageApplications\LauncherPro\Clear defaults :D

NB - I found out the long way after reading loads of forums and trying both 32 and 64bt drivers first !!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
Loaded the latest kies.. version 1.5.1.10074.2 I am still unable to connect my phone to kies. I am still stuck at the "Connecting The Device, Please Wait...." which never connect my phone to kies.

Changing the USB setting on the phone does not help. Kies is one piece of crap softwares.

My system:

Window 7 64bit, default factory firmware, default launchers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamenrbd:
I had same proplem

And i found the aolution

Format internal sd card and conect agaien

And naw it work with me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
This is the solution and it works. Have done this myself.

Something about the files is cousing the issue. I heard it's files and folders with 16 digit extentions causing the issue. A frmat of the internal SD clears the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hqqh:
format internal sd-card

Hi,

to format the internal sd-card doesn't solved the problem in my case. BUT after I ejected the 8GB external sd-card the conntection was established without any problems!!!

On my SGS runs firmware: I9000XXJF3

On my PC runs Kies v1.5.1.10062_7

So when I want to sync, I have to deinstall the external sd-card first, to establish a connection. Maybe a firmware-update can solve this issue.

Does someone has a similar behavior?

Kind regards

hqqh
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
Kies is a piece of crap. I have the EXACT same problem. I just don't bother to use Kies anymore. It can't even sync my outlook contacts. So yeah. The ony reason I would use kies would be for firmware upgrades if I can't source it from teh web somewhere and flash with odin. Else kies is a piece of poo

No there is no AT&T restriction. I was using it before I rooted my Aria just fine for voicemail and outbound calling. Working fine after rooting as well.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already but I didn't find anything doing a search.

Is there any copy protection on the X10a MicroSD card or can I just copy the contents to a new 32G card and off I go?

Thanks, I
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
There's no copy protection. You just copy the software across and you'll be good to go. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] j4mm3r:
All you needed to do was to try it! Anyways, go ahead... there is no copy protection. Just take a dump of the old SD card on your PC and copy it back on to the new SD card.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Thanks for the quick response guys.

j4mm3r: Yup, could have tried it but the thought just came to me and I don't have an 32G with me at the moment ... I did have a keyboard though ;)

Please revisit the CyanogenMod Wiki and go to New build process for Nexus Onehttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_from_source#Build_It

This will help you build it.

First Nandroid and then install a CM6 nightly on your phone and then start off with directions on the wiki. The CM6 nightly will have all the necessary files for the ./extract-files.sh script to work

You can Kang it if you want or just let it be CyanogenMod-6.0.0-RC1 or whatver

Hope that helps.

it worked. thanks. ...i used java 1.6 as instructed. however when compiling from aosp repo/git master or froyo, i'm required to switch to 1.5...
[Desire General] peewster:
Maybe it's an idea for the developers when they create rom's to include smaller boot images (2.2MB) by default.

This will solve the issue with the bad blocks on several devices.
[Desire General] beidl:
It depends on the kernel used in the ROM. If the kernel is closed source like the kernel on Dj Droid (it's still a HTC test ROM) then there's no way to get it working.

On other ROMs you most probably gonna lose features such as ext2/3 mounting (needed for old school A2SD).

All you can do is hope..
[Desire General] peewster:
OpenDesire 1.5 supports ext and and has a boot image of 2.2MB. Maybe when 1.6 comes out, Adam can changes his boot image back to 2.2MB, otherwise there's not a lot of choice flashing different roms :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Pluto:
i am about to buy a smartphone (for the first time since my dumbphone SE W595)

and i want something perfect that'll stay with me like 2 years or so

i checked all of the new phones (Desire + n1 + Galaxy S and millions!) and honestly even with all these teachy stuff and zippy processor .. i didn't like a phone more than the Milestone

Big screen + QWERTY keyboard + pretty good camera for a go-go price !

but .. it was released on the end of 2009 and have a 550MHz (though it can be overclocked anytime) and that locked bootloader (ugh!)

wat i want on a phone is 1-watch movies & videos , 2-loading my almost 5500 set of music in it 3- hardcore 3D gaming , 4-good camera , 5-QWERTY (regular teenager stuff) and Android !

is it really the right phone for me or i should wait for something better (e.g Milestone 2?) (as the international Droid 2) ?

Regards , Mike
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] milestonedude:
I would wait, the milestone has been out for a while now and there should be some new models coming out soon. If I were you I would wait for a new qwerty android phone to be released.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HerroMoto:
I would also wait. The droid does sound like the perfect phone for you, but the thing is, all the stuff you really look forward to doing kills your battery. I have a rooted droid clocked at 1ghz. Battery life really isn't that great, but overall i sincerely love the phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Huber90:
I would wait, too...I have the Milestone, is a really great phone (as you said, big screen+QWERTY is just perfect) but buying it now is pointless, in my opinion. I would suggest to wait for new devices similar to the Milestone to come out and then make a choose.

And the camera isn't that great, really.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Pluto:
Thanks everyone

.. is there any great phones (or leaks) with QWERTYs in the next few weeks which are non-Motorola ? i mean is there any leaks ? (other than that ugly HTC Vision) ?

damn i wish we had a GSM version of HTC Incredible .. it's a perfect phone (only missing a keyboard though) :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pathaniya:
somebody told me girlfriends are like mobile phones, you only wish for a new and better one, as to what you have.

so there's nothing new about your dilemma.i'd suggest you go for it, because new would come but then it's price will delay or postpone you a prized possession. secondly, nowadays a mobile phone is more worthy if it it's most popular in hacking community, like Xperia X1, in my sane mind i'd never suggest this phone to anyone, but imagine ubuntu and android along with Winmo, the phone is a must have. And my dearest SE P1i.

Go for it, you'd never regret a moment of it am already looking for Xperia X1 and Milestone (second or even third hand).
