I just noticed the new update when I opened the Kies in the PC and happily updated in my XP machine hoping that my long pending FW update which I was unable to do can now be done.
But you will not believe, my xp still struggles to detect my device even in this new update, I wonder what kind of update Samsung makes and if you see the version number there is a huge jump between .10071 to .10074 but for what.
Now I am trying to update my Windows 7 machine and let me see if I can succeed atleast there.
i had good device detection in previous version of kies
but in the new version it sucks
also the download said 123mb but went to almost 200mb
in both versions samsung apps store doesnt work, maybe its just for bada os.
UPDATE: yes finally I succeeded with the update from Kies. The upgrade worked fine like a breeze on my Windows 7.
People try the new update, as far as I can see the new update is not available in the samsung websites. When you open your Kies on your PCs it automatically notifies of an update. Goodwork Samsung atlast, Kies works and now I am ready for the froyo release.

I would try, if I could download it some day in the near future. Now I have got 266 MB of 123 MB and sit several hours to watch those little pieces to flow from internet to my hard disk. It is senseless waste to update it for downloading a file at a time. Doesn't Samsung anymore can make an installation package?
Installed the Android SDK and now after the update on KIES, it won't go past 'detecting phone'.
My phone won't connect completely via Kies mode anymore. Oh my.

Sent using my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 using the XDA App
Same lost my connection but not sure it was an application installed previously or Kies.
Uninstalled Kies and installed the previous version but still no go same problem.
Has to be something on my Galaxy causing the issue.
I read someone said to format the internal SD and external SD to ensure no files are on it then sync.
That would mean re-installing or backup restore all my applications again.
This is just nuts.
can't find the URL to download this
Some people are sleeping over at Samsung. What a crappy software!!
I hope there will be some good Kies alternatives soon..
Hi All, I've been trying to get this phone working since Monday. I have installed and uninstalled the different versions of KIES a number of times. Still no joy. Once, today, it recognized the connection, but wouldn't sync to outlook, for me to be able to transfer my contact details across. Great phone (I think!), but awful software. I hope there's a 'breakthrough' soon!
Kies works fine if you proceed like this:
Check: Galaxy > Settings > About Phone > USB > Kies (ask for BlaBla will not work)
WakeUp the phone from sleep mode
Plug the bloody thing...
... and wait
... and wait
... and wait
... and wait UNTIL you can see the device in Windowz (about 2 minutes)
Start Kies

Not necessarily. Kies is one of the WORST applications I EVER USED! Terrible from the word go, NEVER been able to sync from phone to Outlook. Also, Outlook to Phone might happen once in a 100 times you try. Else it will give errors like "value does not fall within expected range". What the hell does that mean, hopefully Samsung knows and better improve the product.

I can't resist asking... have you used Nokia PC Suite or - even better, a lot better - the latest, freshly compiled Ovi Suite?
Tears flood my eyes just thinking about using it once again. And I know I'll have to. Kinda like that nasty job you hate but keep having to shuffle yourself to since you depend on it due to lack of skills, education or any fu"#$ing alternative ideas/options....
Yes. You hate it. But you'll use it again. And again. You all will.

Nokia PC Suite is/was horrible and slow but at least it connected, can't say the same about KIES... personally I've only had little trouble with it but there's a whole lot of people who haven't been as lucky. Thank god we can use mass memory without starting up KIES
I have encountered the connection issue as well but that was after i installed Launcher Pro. into my i9000. Once i remove it, the connection run smoothly without any problem.
Hope this help.
when i updated kies i couldnt connect either , my phones said it was connected but kies begged to differ.
i uninstalled kies and all reg keys and downloaded the full kies and voila it worked again.
to the above poster get homeswitcher from market and you wont have to uninstall launcher pro , just switch when you want to connect to kies
regards
I think it's software conflict which are causing the issues.
I had a fully working Kies with the exception of the Calendar sync but after several application installations I can now not connect to my computer by USB.
I'm thinking of noting down all my software installations and resetting my phone as well as formating my internal memory. See if Kies comes back up.
Then I will install my software bit by bit testing each time to see which software might be causing the conflict.

I installed home switcher so i can use the default launcher when i need to use kies.
Yesterday i updated kies and it took over 3hrs to download using the update function.
I wish Samsung would learn the magic of OTA.
(and remove all kinds of bloatware like touchwiz)
I wish i still had my old N1.

Yes mine did connect last week. I'm glad I installed the latest suggested upgrade build with the "Several Stability Enhancements" on the change log. It did connect fine this time.
And after the nicely animated Synch I'm now busy deleting the several randomly-added duplicated entries to both my calendar, notes and contacts on both the device (E72) and Outlook 2007.
That was useful, because it connected. And plus, sorting out all the mess manually will be a great past-time and distraction while I await for Samsung and Broadcom to figure out why gps tracks look like something your 3 year old drew on the living room wallet when you left that CD pen forgotten on the table.
Its been like 2 hours now downloading kies from the update popup while trying to run previous kies. Says its 100% dowloaded but still keeps downloading files like 980mb/123mb and to make it worse i keep having this popup from kies saying "The Internet is not connected. Do you want to check the connection and try again?" theres a Retry button i press in order to continue the download. I have windows 7 x64 and internet speed of 16mb so i dont get it. I thought of going to sleep and let it download all night, but its impossible since i need to press the retry button every minute when i get the pop up.

Thanks for the home switcher suggestion, for whatever reason i don't actually have to switch out of launcher pro when i use KIES.
Also, someone i correspond with here in PMs since we are both English speakers in Korea, hasn't installed KIES because he's on a mac. Yesterday we were talking about Swype and since i had asked him about his fw he brought up that he received an OTA update. I was shocked to say the least, and his firmware is as current as mine, however he didn't get the first three updates that i did through KIES.

Cant update to the latest x10 update, had no issues running the '20' update but when the phone is plugged into pc and downloading and preparing the update its fine then halfway along the install before the phone itself actually does anything it comes up with the box of checks asking me to check battery [which is fully charged] and to try taking the battery out them rebooting phone holding the back key etc etc to connect the phone, although the phone was connected fine.
This is happening last 2 days with this update tries on my laptop / pc and works pc lol still not getting to the install of the firmware update on the phone. Any ideas? phone is stock no rooting or hacking on it. Tried rebooting removing battery all that stuff. Was only a week ago I got R2BA020 as my original phone was replaced under warranty after the mini usb port broke.
Have you tried downloading the Sony Ericsson Update Service Software? I couldn't update at all through PC Companion but no prob with SEUS.
Just going to try this hopefully it works
It has said its installed the 140meg update although the build number on the phone is still R2BA020 is this right?
Maybe the usb cable or port is not fixed well, you know going on and off.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
that worked fine with sues dont notice any changes for a 140mb update though lol and like i say its still build number R2BA020 ?? although checking for updates it says the phone is up to date assuming this is right
I updated late last week to 026 from 023 but to be fair I can't tell any difference. The leap seemed to be from 016 to 020 so you probably have all the goodies.
Maybe its something to do with whatever carrier you are with cos I think I gained a Tmobile 'Top Apps' thing on my menu which is quite frankly a waste of space. The market gives you its top apps anyway.
I will just check every now and then on SEUS to see if I can update again. Waiting for the big one now... 2.1 OS.
Anyone having issues with Kies updating itself? I can start updating the program, but it constantly says "check your internet connection" (which is fine tyvm..). Basically the 70mb it has to download is taking several hours on a 60/60 cable line
To add insult to injury, when i try to firmware upgrade it tells me it can't find the Informationserver for the device. I wonder if Kies and HP printerdrivers are made by the same people
The wife has a SGS and to be honest kies is always a nightmare to use.
It seems to take forever to connect every single time, its the most un-user friendly program I think I have ever come across.
To be honest I had been looking at getting an SGS (having sold my nexus 1) but this coupled with the GPS issues is really making me think twice.
I had the same Kies update problem.
In the end I just uninstalled it and installed the updated version directly from the Samsung website. It seems to work OK
Amazing that Samsung has produces such a pos software for the phone. I just done use it at all.
Format your internal SD memory and your problem should be resolved.
They were for me.
Remember to backup your data and apk's first.
I already charge my battery to 100%, when the update download to 128m/128m, it stop at there and wait for a long time, it say your phone did not have enought battery.I already try many times already, everytime fail to update it. plzzz..... help me..

Yes sometimes it works, but if you want a thing that "always works", XP (even virtualized) is the os to use, to flash Xperia, and to flash anything else.

Calling me a liar, Punk??? I said I (!) tried and none worked! How the freak can you say this is not true???
i still can't update even using winXP. The result still same."when the update download to 128m/128m, it stop at there and wait for a long time, it say your phone did not have enought battery." i'm very very very disapointed buying X2.
i can't make a video call,can't playing video file perfactly. there is other way to fix that?.... or should i just burn the phone in flame....
Try a different PC, to see if there's somethying wrong in the your usb port.
If even that desen't fix the problem, I'm afraid that your only option is to bring back the phone to SE for repair.
What is the predicted exlorer? If u connect to the SE Update page with Mozilla, it doesn,t work properly. I dont,t know why, but during the proces of upadting screen wrote me, that it is not possible to make update.
When i change Mozilla by Microsoft Explorer it work perfectly and update has been downloaded cerrectly.
My advice - use Microsoft Explorer, and don.t care about battery capacity. /if is more than 50 %./
By and write me.
Why use a browser for update ?
Just download SEUS and install it.
Hi.
I have got the same problem. I have R1BA023 on my X2, but I want MR2. SEUS downloaded software and started upgrading. Status bar is empty and skips at one moment to full. Then add-on says "your phone did not have enought battery", but battery is fully charged. I tried on XP and Win7, downloaded SEUS on Explorer and Firefox browsers, but it's the same. Is it a SEUS bug or is it my X2's fault ? Is there any other way to install MR2 (without using SEUS) ?
Just got another update. I was on kies 1.5.3.10093-80 so I am not sure yet what this one is.
Edit: kies 1.5.3.10093-81
I'm on 1.5.3.10093-80 and have no update.
Maybe Froyo is actually ready, but it's kies which is holding up the release...
Have you done a manual check for update in the Kies menu (not the widgets at the bottom) ?

You dont need phone connected if you update Kies.
It's more than likely to be a small fix that fixes the registy key error on the previous version ending in 80.
That stopped kies working properly 64bit win 7

I tried to update from the website but I can only seem to update via the updater in Kies. Downloading via updater now. Hope it works!
EDIT: It worked. had to do it to make sure there were no new builds of JH2 for bell tech support.

It's another large(ish) update, thousands of files again, hardly a registry fix.
When you click the close cross top right, or 'cancel' to close the firmware update check after it reports nothing new found. "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe" starts gobbling up ram like there is no tomorrow (over 1gb by the time I find it to kill it) and my system becomes basically unusable until I kill the samsung "devicemanager.exe" and "connectionmanager.exe" and wait a few minutes.
This problem only started with 1.5.3.10093-80, and 1.5.3.10093-81 doesn't change it at all. (win7-x64)
I keep getting 'The internet is not connected' message in the update procedure
I'll probably have to stay up all night, clicking retry

I had that once, it made me laugh as its phrasing implied it was something wrong my end though I was browsing the web just fine and spectating a live game with plenty of bandwidth to spare.

Yes, not fixed even in 81 and applies also to Win7-x32. Manually add .../FUS registry key solve the problem.
I get checking updates stuck on there all day. almost I left it on overnight and it just keeps saying checking updates. I went here http://au.samsungmobile.com/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-I9000&sw_type=SW and it's still only has 1.5.1_1083. Dam blasted aussie site you think we would be so upto date yet I feel like such a backwards country sometimes.
I've been on v10093_31_1, it didn't offer me an update. Uninstalled and manually downloaded v10093_80, installed it, then it was checking for updates for about an hour. Found one, but gave me at least 50 warnings about 'no internet connection' although the internet was working fine all the time, then it finally upgraded.
I have no problems with connecting the phone to Kies on W7 64bit whatsoever.
edit:
never had any problems with 'MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe' either, through update widget in Kies or executed manually.

Yes not sure why Samsung Australia Support is still pushing the older version unless the versions relate to the builds in some way.
Hell we are still running JG4 Firmware as a release well behind the rest of the world.
Have installed 1.5.3.10093_1_1 from the UK site and it was snappy to say the least.
Currently downloading 1.5.3.10093_80 from the UK. Will check the update options after install.
this is another link to the download(it's a release from 6 october):

Just a couple weeks ago my EVO quit showing up as a drive on my HP dv7. Now everytime I plug my phone into my laptop I get an error message saying that the drivers did not properyly install. I also get this blue screen of death that crashes my laptop. The blue screen says something about the USB drivers. I plugged my EVO into my wifes netbook and have no issues. Im beginning to think that it might just be a 32/64 bit Windows 7 issue but I'm not sure. Thought I would post this issue to see if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks

I would uninstall HTC Sync and also confirm that the drivers are uninstalled as well.
Then restart and reinstall.
Side note: How is "uninstall" a word but "reinstall" isn't?
Sorry. I left some stuff out of my original post. I went as far as doing a full recovery on my laptop. Ive uninstalled and reisntalled HTC Sync 2 times. Ive uninstalled all USB Drivers and restarted my laptop both times. HP says its HTCs fault. HTC says its HPs fault. Im beyond frustrated. Ive been having to use an FTP server to be able to transfer all of my data.
Thanks for the quick response though.

You said you're using Windows 7 64 bit?
Maybe try the 32 bit drivers?
HTC Sync doesn't auto update very well. Are you using the latest
HTC Sync 3.0.5511 from here? http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
I also use 64 bit Windows 7 and it works. Actually, I found and used HTC Sync 3.0.5517 from somewhere. A Google search today show that this site lists HTC Sync 3.0.5551: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/HTC-Sync.shtml It says it's for all HTC devices, but doesn't specifically say it's for the Evo.
I just downloaded and installed 5551. The installation package is 151K, which is over twice the size of the previous ones, I think because it also installs a new installer and a Microsoft C++ 64 bit driver.
I just now sync'd with 5551 and it worked well. I wish there was a change log somewhere. I have had problems with it swapping some of my Outlook Contacts to first name, last name, and sometimes it completely borks my Outlook Calendar birthdays. This one worked fine, but I usually only see problems every two or three syncs.
Give it a shot, and it may fix your problems. Newer is better anyway.

I was having the same issue with the name swapping and I noticed on the Evo in contacts the view setting was set for first name, last. I changed that around to last,first and so far it's working. I also went into Outlook and re-set every one of my contacts back to last,first. I think it might have been the setting on the Evo causing the issue. Glad to see it's not just me.
Thanks for the links, mine auto updated a couple of days ago to 5517 but I'm going to try the latest one.
