I recently bought a Tab and no matter what i try i cant seem to get the Tab to connect to Kies ...
it does connect as a Mass Storage device and seamlessly copies files and data ..
is anyone else facing the same problem ??
That also happen to me. But it solved after i flashed euro firmware. I think its the US firmware having problem.

The tab will only connect to kies if you're using the stock launcher - download home switcher and use it every time you want to connect to kies (which shouldn't be all that often).

i posted this in ppc geeks thread as well (i'm stating this because i got fussed at for 'double posting' lol!) but couldnt find a solution to my problem, anywho...my son was trying to help me work the self camera, in the process, a pop-up came up asking if we wanted to use either of 2 programs that were listed in the pop-up (for the life of me i cant remember the name of the 1st one, i think it was something "messaging'' and the 2nd one was something with the letters "tw" in it. he clicked on the 1st offering and then clicked on the bottom that stated something to the effect of 'use this program from now on...' the problem is that by his clicking on whatever he clicked on, i now have all my apps on one page and i have to 'drag' that one page up to access them, they are located on a grey tab thingy....I DONT WANT THAT! i want my apps to be spread over the like 3-4 pages like i had it in the beginning but dont know how to undo the damage my son did...i also had a page of bookmarks and they are now gone ;-( can anybody tell me what we did wrong and how to fix it? i really want my apps back and all my bookmarks and homepages!!!
I think u accidentally changed the default launcher, to fix this u can go to settings-applications-manage applications-scroll to touchwiz launcher and then click on it and then click clear defaults. Click the home button and that popup will show again, this time choose tw as ur deafault. Another way is to download the free app home switcher .

Hmm thats weird, r u rooted? If u are can u send me a screenshot using shootme? Ur homescreen sounds like stock android so I figured that was the prob, but maybe im wrong. If u can, do a factory reset, but if u dont want to do that then try using a home replacement such as launcher pro which can be downloaded from the market and see if u like how that looks.

Also if you download another launcher like launcher pro... and then run that app, the next time you press the home button you'll et the prompt asking which homescreen, and you'll be able to go bck to the twlauncher again... but this time, make that ur default, or don't check the default mark and have none.

Hi,
I'm using the PPC-SHIFTPDA Gingerbread Build. At the beginning everything was alright but now I can't download apps from the market. It just says "Download is starting" .
Can anyone help me?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Solution: I hadn't enough space on the phone storage. Just move apps to the SD card.
Try this... go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and find 'Market'... clear the cache and data.
Toggle airplane mode on and off... then try downloading again.
Okay, I did as you said but it is still not downloading. Thanks for your help.
Got another idea?
Sent from my HTC HD2
This is a bit of a long shot...
Are you using wifi or 3G to download? If possible, try the other and see if you have the same issue.
For example, I cannot download from Market using the wifi network at my work (I too get the 'downloading' issue), however I can install apps just fine using 3G. My home wifi is always ok.
Very rarely I have had the same problem as you and it resolves itself after a while. It is as if there is a problem at Google's server end.
Another issue that I sometimes have when I install a fresh build is that i have to try and download using 3G before I am able to download using wifi.
I'm using wifi. It would be a bit too expensive for me if I use 3G. I'm just a poor student, getting not much pocket money .
I had three other builds before tested and that's the second time this happens. I solved it last time changing the build. But. I don't want to change the build.
P.S.: The whole time Google Talk wants to log in but it can't, 'cause I don't have a Talk account.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
OK, you could try this...
Can you try another wifi network? If not...
Backup your build and then hard reset the device from Android. Then try logging in to your Google account again and see if you can download from Market. I'm not sure what the cause of your problem is.
You can deactivate the Google Talk login problem by going to Accounts > Sync > Google > deselect the deisired sync options.
Okay did 2 hard resets but nothing changed. That's really weird...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Edit: I can't connect to other wifi
Sorry, I am lost now for a good suggestion. Whenever I have had a similar issue, one of the above has always worked for me.
Okay...
But thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!

Hey everyone,
I love my tab from I/O but as a Mac user I am stuck with no way to connect it to my mac to put videos on or anything. Every time I attach it to my Mac (or even PC) it wants to load Kies. It doesn't give me the option to mount as disk or anything.
On my Windows 7 PC it does allow me to browse it as a folder but I don't use my PC for any video downloading or anything. Is there a solution for Mac? I tried downloading the DMG for Honeycomb tablets from Android.com but it still didn't work for the Samsung tab. Not sure what to do here.
Second thing... someone needs to break a version of the new Netflix app to work on Honeycomb. I can get the app to load as is but it won't let me play video, says that this device is not supported.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did you try this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ Should work. I used it with the Xoom and it worked like a charm.
Also if you have the SDK installed you can use ddms to open a file explorer. (In the same menu where you can launch the screen capture app)

I did try that and it did not work, because I think Kies is persistent and messes with it. Any other ideas would be great.
And to be clear: neither Kies on the mac nor Windows recognizes it either -- they say it's an unsupported device.
I managed to get a movie on it for the flight home by connecting in windows (VMware), installing Kies (for the drivers) and mounting it as an external drive.

Really that would be a disaster for the 10.1v because of a lack of a SD card...... It would mean that one only can transfer files over a network.
But I assume that uninstalling Kies would solve this?

Anyone else know anything that might help? I don't have Kies installed and cannot get it to work on my Mac.

Only option is adb push if you want to get your files on there. Or wireless transfer but hat takes too long

I tried both the Windows and Mac versions of Kies, and ended up having some luck with XJNB. I have a post on my blog (at surfsoftconsulting.com) explaining this, have a look at the Galaxy Tab First Impressions entry. The problem seems to be that Samsung's implementation of MTP is rubbish. Worst case scenario is that the update to 3.1 will include Google's own (and hopefully less buggy) implementation. I guess a more worse case is that Samsung have donated their code to 3.1... sigh.
I should add that since doing a factory reset I've not been able to get XJNB to work with the tablet :-( so I shall probably move to using a Wifi based solution

filetransfer doesn't work - at least not for me - with the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 (MacBook Pro early '08, OS X 10.6.7). I've written more elsewhere on this thread, I won't repeat it here.
Hiii frnds
i am new to android so have lots of questions
1. How to update software version. By mistake I entered my yahoo id where samsung id was needed. Now when I try to change it, it says u need to restore factory setting.
What should I do, I don't want install all my stuff again.
2.how to store places on the maps. I mean if I want to save my residence, and select the show direction option from my current location. How will I be able to do this?
3. What is the use of mini diary?
4.i have one personal excel document stored on my phone and which is password protected. Is there any software which open such files?
5. What is the fastest way to exit internet explorer? Its the only option top go back all the places we surf? And even if we go back all the pages, that application is shown active in task manager

5. Just press the home button to exit the browser. In a well behaved app it will just sit in memory not using any CPU or any battery. android will silently kill the browser app if it needs the ram for another app.
Unfortunately this only works if the app is well behaved. The XDA forum app for example is a bad app. As it breaks the Android guide lines because after you press the home button the app still servers adverts in the background eating up CPU.
A good Android app is meant to COMPLETELY shut down when the app is not visible (by pressing for example the home button). So it does not matter that it is sitting in ram as it is not using any CPU or battery.
Thanks louis
my 6th question also got sorted
So now just first four question remaining
Plz reply if u know the answers

1. The email address you entered should not effect the updates from Kies. However the carrier branding (eg T-Mobile) can prevent updates from comming through. What version are you on? My last update from Kies brought me upto build KF3.
The locked email is purely required for app purchases. If you get a replacement phone, using the same email address will restore all your download apps. However if you want to sell your phone then you need to wipe the phone so the buyer can't use your account.
Hey Shantanu, you Bengali or what?
1- If you meant Firmware update, then you just plug the device in with PC and run Kies, if there is an update available it will say.
3- It's a Diary with Location/Geo tagging feature.
6- Just press Home button to minimize from Stock browser, then Exit via Task Manager.
Regards.

I used only two Nokia's before, E90, N95, they were Symbian and supported the OTA update, but this ain't Symbian, nor Nokia.
Yup I knw. Its new operating system at least for me so its obvious that I won't be having knowledge of it

It is the build number I was asking for and who is your carrier? The carrier branding can stop the update coming through Kies (the carrier has to proved the updates and a lot of them don't bother.)
Can u tell where would I get that
