It is just a minor bug..

Kies won't detect the SGS in Kies Mode --

IF.. your USB Settings is set as "Ask on Connection" and you select "Samsung Kies" when it pops up...

so what I do is to specifically set the USB Settings to "Samsung Keis" before I plug the USB to my PC & make sure that Samung Kies is "Started" on your PC..

...

anyways... Samsung apparently admitted that there's a bug with keis and they're already on it.. I've read that in some threads here.. can't remember where..

Kies Firmware upgrade

I tried to install Kies in my Windows 7 PC and I can see Kies reading and firmware version and tells me there is an upgrade available and after I clicked on the button to go ahead with the update - I see the progress bar downloading the binary (as it says while it is still downloading 'downloading binary files') it takes atleast around 5 mins and once done it asks me to click on 'next' button to continue - when done - there is silence for around 10 seconds and then i see the message in the progress bar in PC that says 'upgrade has started and dont disconnect the phone' followed by my phones screen showing the android logo doing a road work telling upgrade in progress..but just in 5 seconds more - the PC message says, -

in one instance it said - disconnecting device and lost connection

another instance - i got the message 'failed to convert the binary to upgrade mode, try later'

another time - I got the message that said 'RAPI.dll' missing in your computer please install and try again'

Then went for rescue towards my winXP laptop runnivng SP3 -

I could install Kies properly and no problem connecting the device after a few tries it could see my phone then clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available - i went ahead to do the upgrade as usual by clicking on the accept conditions and after downloading - device got disconnected and shortly i get a message telling 'failed to convert to upgrade more try later'

In many other instance with my windows xp - PC cant detect my phone - I even tried to reinstall driver from the Kies menu - still no luck.

This morning I tried the same in my office PC running windows XP - everything went well as usual but finally when the upgrade process started I end up with the same message 'failed to convert to upgrade more try later'.

During this happens I see the screen change in my phone that freezes telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect while the PC says failed to upgrade do you want to stop upgrading and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' - getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.

I have another question since I saw somebody mention that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.

somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.

thanks

Simple solution is to type MMC in your run on Windows and select the disk management as the add-on. Scroll down and see the drive where your phone is plugged in(recognize by the size) and assign it a drive letter as an option when you right click....problem solved. This works for USB drives that are not recogzed as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spenceee:
I have contacted samsung and although their recommendation wasn't pleasant it did work. Unmount and format the internal sd card. You will lose photos and media from the phone including any app media, but won't lose your contacts or apps.

I went from zero kies sync to a working system. I have also found out that the system can work well after doing the driver recovery and switching the phone on and off while its plugged into the pc while you are running kies.

can anyone comment on the above please - i am desperate on the upgrade but it stops me and says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode' what does that mean. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arshadaziz:
Are you guys using an alternate launcher such as launcher pro, because kies doesn't seem to work with other launchers. If you are indeed using launcher pro, you must use the home switcher app from the market to temporarily switch to default launcher, restart the phone and connect to kies. When you are done, use the same app to switch back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
My phone is fairly new and so nothing installed and infact i am new to android hence have not tried anything facy yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kjeldmis:
You can always do a manual update by flashing your phone to a newer firmware containing the updates - If you ask me, its easier than battling with Kies. There is a good FAQ here: (http)://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596

New Kies released today update through the Kies program. Might solve a few of your problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
Yes it did solve my issues after battling with kies for all these days to get that official update. Although it just succeeded with the update only via Win7 not from my XP with sp3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zeeshanzc:
well i know this is a little late, but i found the solution.. i tired like five times.. gave me the same problem.. after that i just factory resetted my phone from the privacy settings, erasing everything on my phone. after that i tried, and the upgrade worked... hope this helps.

The weather app seems only to update when I have a wifi connection. Is there a way to set it up that it also (or preferably) uses the mobile data connection?

Kind of same question for email. Under the advanced E-mail setup settings, I choose to use the mobile data connection. It was default set to "The internet", but this way, i only received mails when I had a wifi connection. Is there a way to set it up that is uses wifi, and if not available, the mobile data connection?

It sounds as though your mobile data settings are incorrect.

[Nexus One General] joey85:
For some reason the market doesn't have a record of applications I purchased when I do a factory reset. I've tried it on various ROMs from the newest CM6 RC1 to the stock 2.2 for the nexus one. It seems like an issue with the market itself, or with my account. Not with a particular ROM/OS.

I sign into my Google account (The one I use for Checkout and the Market), under the downloads tab the only one listed is Google Maps. If I search for an application I've purchased before (Like SetCPU) it wants me to buy it again. I tried and can confirm that it WILL actually charge me a second time.

I am looking at my google checkout account now and can see that it clearly let me purchase the same application twice...

Does anyone have any ideas? Odly enough if I do a nandroid restore all of my apps work fine. I can uninstall, and re-download without paying. But the problem is eventually I am going to have to do a wipe. The crappy thing is Google doesn't have any formal 'support' for the market. And I am certainly not going to repurchase hundreds of dollars of apps..
[Nexus One General] nxt:
I've had no issues. I had a G1 since day 1 bought tons of apps. Stopped using Android, 10 months later got a Nexus One, signed in and they're all there (purchased apps).

Flashed various builds of froyo, used cyanogmen 5.08, now 6 RC1, still no issues with purchased app history.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Edit: Sorry, didn't see read properly, you were referring to paid apps... they should always show up!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
After a wipe, when you've signed in, instead of going to the Market to check for your apps, set the phone down for 15 mins or so.

Apparently firing up the Market interrupts the process.
[Nexus One General] joey85:
No luck with that. I've also just tried waiting about 24 hours or so and still nothing. :(
[Nexus One General] sainttjames:
I have this same issue and had to purchase a couple of apps twice. One developer was kind enough to refund for the second purchase. The second developer has basically ignored my requests. It really pisses me off...

I have tried to contact the Google Checkout team, but you may as well be sending postcards to the moon...they are not helpful.
[Nexus One General] joey85:
Seriously? I have 36 Paid application on my checkout. Thats sucks.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
I know it is probably obvious question... but did you sign in to the same Google account from which you purchased them?
[Nexus One General] joey85:
Yep, correct account and everything.
[Nexus One General] vovkab:
1. You should sign in with you account you bought the apps.

2. To check this you can sign in to google check out and check if apps exists.

3. Try to buy apps that you already paid, it should just download and doesn't take money from you.
[Nexus One General] vitorjna:
Have you tried going to the application manager and clearing the Market Data and Cache?
[Nexus One General] joey85:
Like I said, it doesn't just download the application. It acts as though it has no record. And yes it is the right Checkout account. It requires me to repurchase them.

Yep! I've also tried deleting my Billing Address and CC# out of checkout, and even changing my password hoping it will help "resync" things... Nothing Works.

I've just E-Mailed all developers. In under an hour I have had about 10 or so of them refund me, repurchased promptly after, even if the application was more than what I originally purchased it for, I want to support the developers. A few developers said that quite a few people have had this issue. I don't expect to get all refunded, but so far I am impressed with the support from them.

Google has to fix this issue, they should be required to have additional support other than a "Help Forum" that doesn't guarantee any response for the market. They get 30% of the income, they're taking in money from this, it is inexcusable that they will screw over their customers and their developers who are put in charge of making a call for Google's screw up.
[Nexus One General] sainttjames:
I'll add my experience as well..

1. You should sign in with you account you bought the apps.

Check

2. To check this you can sign in to google check out and check if apps exists.

Check...and they are visible in the Checkout account

3. Try to buy apps that you already paid, it should just download and doesn't take money from you.

Negative. As I mentioned earlier...it only allows me to purchase...no downloads.

I had to factory reset my phone which is how I ended up in that sorry position. I fully expected to be able to download the apps again since the phone was tied into the same account.

One of the responses I received from Google Checkout was "You will not be charged for apps twice"...guess what? I was.
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
I am experiencing something similar on my account. After a wipe I do see the list of apps that I've purchased, but I no longer see a list of the apps I've previously downloaded and there is no automatic downloading of apps after first sign-in anymore either.
[Nexus One General] joey85:
Heh, thats a step more than what I could get. Literally the market said I had Zero applications installed ever.

With the applications I did repurchase I tested it, Installed two or three, wiped, logged in again. And worked like it was supposed to after repurchasing them. Confirms it for me that something isn't right on Google's end.
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
do you skip first then sign in after words? I found that it only does automatic app restore if you set it up during setup...sadly for most Roms this means you must use carrier data, for Cyanogen roms I found a way to do this over Wifi...first install just the Cyanogen pack (no Gapps) turn on wifi, let it connect, then go into recovery flash the Gapps, then come back and do the setup...the apps should restore as if you signed up using carrier data.

But yea, you can't skip the setup process.
[Nexus One General] joey85:
I did try it both at setup and after the fact. Neither worked.

I haven't tried flashing the rom, starting up, then flashing the Gapps. Depending on the response I get about the refunds I may or may not try that. Can you explain to me what exactly carrier data is?
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
that's a very weird problem and sadly sounds personal-ish to me...I've flashed roms like it was my job since the G1 days and never ever had this issue..and I've had 3 phones, 2 carriers, had a random weird thing happen with my phone and this one game that recognizes who u are to keep ur accounts, etc...and all paid apps always showed up (and auto app restore as well, well since N1)...

I really hope you fix this issue
[Nexus One General] maxh:
There are many apps out there that will back up your apps. ASTRO file manager (free and excellent) can back up apps. It creates a folder on your sdcard titled backups/apps and puts an apk there for each app you backup. If I were you, I'd do a nandroid, backup all of my apps, do your factory reset or flash your rom, install astro, then navigate to backups/apps and reinstall your apps manually. And for that one you already purchased twice and the developer wouldn't refund the 2nd purchase, might as well email that apk to a friend to get some use out of the second seat you purchased.

My Backup Pro is another app that makes app backup easy, but it's a paid app. When you run it and select backup apps, it'll ask for each app whether you want to backup or not, and it'll create a folder on your sd card with a zip file containing all of the apks of apps you chose for it to back up. When you restore, it'll go through the list of apps in that zip file asking for each one whether you want to restore, and restore them.
[Nexus One General] joey85:
Yep, I have also probably done a full reset a dozen times. I'm not sure, heck for all I know google flagged me as suspicious or something. Who knows. I'm happy because I've gotten most of the major apps refunded (The ones that are $3-$10), so if I do have to buy any more again they'll mostly be the cheaper ones.

I'll have to look into those!
[Nexus One General] Demus:
Hey guys,

I found a solution to this problem. At least for me. I was having EXACTLY the same issue as the OP. Here's the problem:

Market purchases are attributed to the very first gmail/gmail apps account you setup on your device. Even if the actual gmail account that purchased the application is different.

Let me clarify my own situation:

The first time I setup my N1, I used my Google Apps Premier account. It was happy to let me, until I wanted to use the market. Due to yet another bug, using Google Checkout with a Google Apps for your domain account is not supported. At least not in the Android Market. To solve this issue I made a second gmail account, associated it with Google Checkout and added a credit card. The market was more than happy to let me use this account to make purchases. However, even though the second account was the only account with a credit card on it, the actual ownership of the purchase was assigned to my Google Apps Premier account.

The only account that is checked in the market for past-purchases is the FIRST gmail account you add to the device. Even if you add your other addresses afterwards, they will not change anything. The first e-mail address you registered the device with when you made the purchases must be the first e-mail address you setup after the wipe.

As I'm rooted and using a custom ROM I don't have the HTC Sense image viewer.

And the froyo one I don't really like because it only organizes the photos by date and when you zoom in it becomes pixelated.

Want an image viewer which will organize by name and will be clear when zoomed into a picture.

Thank you.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bubano:
Gallery should be the thing.
[Desire Themes and Apps] UltraLinx:
That's the one I'm saying is **** lol.

Since I don't get such pixelation in any viewer, I'm not sure what'll work for you. JustPictures! is another viewer, and, I like it.

[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
Stock gallery has the confirmed blurry/pixelated issue when zooming in all the way. Incidentally, this seems to be related to the 24MB managed heap restriction, which seems a bit low especially when google coders say you shouldn't use native heap allocation too much.

Anyway, You are right, I'm lost too without htc sense gallery and there is no way to port it at the moment. I've found that when I need to zoom all the way in a photo I can use pictureviewer, which has no navigation though.

PS justpictures sorta works, however it's the slowest and most choppy gallery I've seen on android
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
Definitely no slowness, pixelation (etc) here. Gallery app is the only sluggish one for me. Maybe check you have enough mem space free before opening the app... Known to slow down most apps and make them sluggish on Android.

[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
Nobody said stock gallery is slow, please read carefully the post. Next, take a high definition picture, 5 M Pixel or more, then open it on your computer and on your phone. Zoom in all the way on your phone and compare the result to the same level of detail on the computer.

This is also confirmed by Google, both in eclair and froyo.

This is also completely unrelated to the quantity of free memory, but rather by the fixed limit of memory allocation in the managed heap. I can post the link of code.google if you want to read a very technical discussion about it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] UltraLinx:
Your exactly right and you know what I exactly mean.

Because in the HTC Sense picture viewer you can quite clearly see the difference when you zoom into the pictures compared to the stock android gallery and you can zoom in more with the HTC Sense picture viewer.

I think i would be fine though if in the stock gallery you could at least sort them by name and size. Only sorts it by date, quite annoying.
[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
I might be wrong but I think the issue was even worse on 2.1
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
I read fine the first time. You've misunderstood me.

1. The "etc" meant in reference to any issue you mentioned including "slow/choppy/blurry"; they're all non-issues for me on both viewers - Sense and JustPictures! - except the stock Gallery app. That's sluggish and blurry, which as you correctly mention, is well known for the latter.

2. Except for testing, I never need to put high def images to view on the phone, ever, and the phone taken images give me no problem viewing in any of the 3 apps. AFAICT, only high quality pics are problematic in the stock Gallery app for me. I'll test more on more free time.

3. I didn't mention the blurry stock Gallery zoom could possibly be fixed by more free memory, but to your "most choppy/slowest viewer" remark for JustPictures!. Android routinely performs dirt slow for any app loading a lot of data when the memory space is sub ~45MB.

4. As to the discussion links re the stock Gallery limitations; I've already seen them priorly.

Late Edit: thankfully, you linked the crappy browser image quality pic I complained about there too: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6021 :)

(aaargh, damn tapatalk lost 20 rows I was writing here...) hehe to sum up

- we miss HTC gallery

- stock android gallery is a problem for me when reading small text in big pictures or details in landscapes. Sometimes it's not very crisp anyway when zoomed in.

- justpictures is slow on my overclocked desire, plenty of memory free . Don't know, some market comments say the same. I also have some problems with pinch zoom. Shame because it looks nice.

Ps: I'm starting to hate tapatalk! Hehe

Edit: by the way, increasing heap size in build. Prop does not help
[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
I think I've found a way to make justpictures bearable (for me)

Small thumbnails, no tilt, portrait mode. The first time you go through your photos it will be a pain (stops and shutters all the time) but subsequently, while not very smooth, can be used.

Pinch zoom is still a bit of a mistery to me: once you start zooming it's quite hard if not impossible to change photo by sliding.

I don't know if it's stock behaviour but I also can't maintain the max level of zoom and keep panning, as soon as I take the finger off it zooms out.. .
