Hello,
I just got my galaxy tab from Bell in Canada.
I installed Kies from one of the links provided in the rooting threads. I did however manage to root the device without syncing with Kies.
However, whenever I try to connect to Kies with my galaxy tab (after selecting the Kies mode on the GT) it says that the device is not supported.
I've tried pretty much everything without success:
- uninstall/reinstall kies
- uninstall/reinstall drivers
- install homeswitcher
Not quite sure what the deal is here..
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Same here, (Bell Tab) and it works fine with my Galaxy S.
I suspect some of the firmware versions aren't entered into the Kies database just yet.
It is good to know that I am not the only one experiencing this.
Thanks!
I posted about this a couple days ago, same problem here. Never got mine to work. Good luck, my post pretty much disappeared, lol. Must not be important enough for people to really help with it yet. Let me know if you get it!

There's probably not enough people with this problem to make it worth looking into.
I'm guessing as numbers increase, this might become more of a pressing issue.
Hopefully it won't take too long to get this fixed.
Very true. Time will tell.

Same problem, i just assumed it was becuase its a non-europian device and kies is europe only thing.

Installed Kies on W7 and Vista - no result
Kies refuses to recognize the Galaxy Tab Canadian version even after I installed on Windows 7 and Vista.
I even rooted it (I can use Android Commander on it) but Kies simply refuses to see it.
Kies Mini supports it
I finally managed to install the Kies app from Samsung to help with backup and upgrades.
In my case I bought the device from Canada so I registered with Samsung Canada and then in my account I selected the device, switched to Software tab and downloaded the Kies Mini for it.
It seems to work, at least I did a backup from it.
Strange as it may sound all my Kies "not recognised" problems went away when I installed Windows Media Player 11.
I had the same problem about not being recognised with Kies, but only after my tab was rooted. unrooting was no help, it was fixed by unchecking "usb-error" in the subtab development. hope it might help.
Im having the same problem with Kies and Kies mini on my tmo tab.
Any new solutions??

Hi There,
I've just got my Galaxy S today, used to have a HTC Desire.
First problem I had was connecting to Kies. W7 x64 didnt like it, but turn the phone on while the usb was plugged in solved this.
Now for my second problem. Using my HTC Desire, I bought various apps from the market, but some of these such as Caligo Chaser can't be found when I search the market. How can I solve this?
Third: Kies tells me that "This mobile phone is not supported by Samsung Apps" and won't let me download some of the apps i want through there. What can I do?
I also want to use the podcast widget in kies, but when I enable it it tells me "Available after updating to the latest version" even though I have the latest version of Kies. What's wrong?
I would really like to use keys because managing my music and videos works fine.
Regards,
Lyno
I'm a former desire owner and very dissappointed GS owner. How have you found this device compared to desire? My experience has been one of great dissappointed.
I'm totally the opposite!
I love the screen, the video capability and the overall performance.
totally wipes the floor with my desire.
I take it you have issue with the lag ging freeze, ram issue, or gps?

I've been using it intensely, running all sorts of apps and 720 videos and as of yet, no lagging.
What's the RAM issue?
Not tried GPS yet, will do today.
What about the apps that don't appear?
This is driving me crazy! I keep checking out these forums, trying to figure out what problems are really going on with this device and it's insane how some folks are having issues that if are real, should be happening to all but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have an iPhone 4 and although it's nice, it's lacking in so many features I would call basic. I also have an Evo that has build quality issues but overall performs well. I hate the looks of the Droid X and so I'm trying to decide on the SGS, Evo and iPhone 4.
Going to check out the Captivate today in store and really give it some testing and look for some of the issues mentioned on this forum.......

Here's an issue that no one mentions but is definitely prevalent. Not all headphones with inline mic work on the SGS. I got pissed that my vmoda vibe duo sounded like pure crap but the headphones included worked fine. After a quick forum search I found out that alot of users experience this problem and as far as I know, there's no way to "know" which headphones (with inline mic) will work for sure. There's a "dirty fix" which is to tape down the talk button on the mic but i'd rather not have to deal with that.
I told my bud working at AT&T to check to see if the Captivate has that problem but he only had access to the stock headphones at the time...I'll update if he confirms or denies the same issue on the Captivate

Not sure if you have flashed a new ROM yet but this sounds like you cannot see protected apps (some, but far from all paid apps are protected). Could you post your ROM versions (dial *#1234# to see them). If this is an issue with the protected apps, there is a solution in my FAQ thread.

I personally find it impressive that you got Kies to recognize your phone correctly in Windows 7 x64. I have done everything short of a complete Windows reinstall. So far without success. I personally find it one of the biggest shortcomings of Samsung regarding this phone. Software support this crappy belongs in the previous century and is simply ridiculous in the year 2010!
Im using win7 x64 and kies works ok. I had to install twice because the first time i plugged the phone in too soon and that fubarred the driver install.

I guess I'll add this to the list of things to consider when testing the Captivate. It really seems like there are people who get the device and don't want to hear about problems like parents who don't want to hear about their children doing wrong. Every device has some type of problems but there should be no issues with talking about any problems in a place like this......
So first of all about Kies ... it is not really supporting the android phone if I undesrtood well
For instance the samsung app are not android app
That's why it say's that your phone is not recognized
I think we will have to wait for a new version of Kies
On my side it doens't work on my vista 32 but it doens on another desktop on vista 64.
I already re installed the soft 3 time but still have the problem of MTP failed ( and WM11 doens't work neither )
I had no problems with Kies in Win7 x64 and identifying my device.
I have a problem with Kies in general. It sucks.
win7 64 and kies worked ok for me on me laptop and desktop. but your right it is pants!
I haven't really used Kies yet. What is it supposed to do?

Yeah I know what you mean. Tested the vibrant today with iphone headphones and they didn't have the same issue. I showed the chick working at the t-mobile store what I meant with my own phone and she was pretty surprised at that problem.
My at&t bud told me he told his product manager and she tested it and it was fine. He's gonna personally test it tomorrow as well.

Google search turned up a beta(2.0.0.10121_15). Installed on win7 no problems. Doesnt recognize SGS I9000(intl). maybe that darkyy's 6 base rom (jpx based) wont show as in other versions of Kies. looks good though hope it works better as it matures. back to Mass Storage mode for now.
jUst downloadin.............
I'm very curious what will be...........

Yes, let's use samsung's beta product....
maybe i shouldn't since they can't even get firmwares correct. just kidding.
we are risking lot more by using custom firmwares anyways.

I have a Verizon Tab and I dont care about being able to use it on Verizon. I am only using the wifi to connect to the internet.
Am I able to use any ROM seeing that I dont care about the internet working?

No, I see about 90 people have viewed this but there has been no answer.
I am not a Dev and lack a lot of skills needed to make a custom ROM.
Bit if I understand things right. All the Tabs are the same exept for the radio that is used to access the internet on a network.
But other than that all hardware is the same, so other ROMs should work just not allow you to use the internet.
I for one am using just using Wifi so I would like to be able to use some of the other ROMs.
Wow
There is still no real answering this?Up
I use my Evo and wife only for internet on my tab. It would be great if I could use any Rom out there .

I was asking a developer this yesterday, he said if you take a Gsm rom and run it it will not run properly. As you are aware the radio will not work which you said is not a concern but other things will become an issue like your device being seen as a Cd drive. The frame work is totally different. If you are cool with Heidmall and have the stock Verizon image files go ahead and try it. doing major back ups of your current config. If its not working the worst thing is you will have to reapply the stock image and start over with your back ups.
CM7 for our tabs is in the works if you can wait it out a bit longer. Im not sure exactly what you expect to get from another rom??
Really I'm just looking for a little more speed and better battery life.
To me the Tab is still the best out there due to size and form factor.
But playing Anger Birds with wifi on seems to make my tab a little slower and lag.

Do you have Verizon or Sprint GT?
I can tell you there are differences. I tried to get the sprint tab running CwM using the verizon bootstrap method and my tab is borked. Completely unresponsive except for the BSOD the phone ! pc graphic. I am pretty sure I could fix with odin but I dont have a pc. I am on vacation with my macbook pro and I think I am really gonna be screwed when the battery dies.... Anyone have a solution to this?
I have nothing to support this, but I have "survived" the "phone ! pc" and I *suspect* that the "phone ! pc" has to do with low battery (or some minimal power needed, even for download mode.)
In my experience, I *had* a fully charged tab when I've seen this, so it may be some misreading, somehow. I've forced myself to take a deep breath, plug into a wall charger and walk away for ~hour. After this, I can get it to Download Mode, and reflash with stock image. Scary and random, but I think it's meant as a symbol/message to have the device *fully* charged for attempting flashing, etc.
Again, this is theory only, but I've seen that screen 2x on both a sprint & verizon tab, and patience has won the day. Good luck.

I can't get KIES to recognize my Tab. I plug it in, and it acts like it's trying to connect, but the media scanner on my Tab starts, crashes, and then the Tab connects via MTP.
I'm really confused, and I'm about to just download the ROM and work from there.
Download Samsung Kies from the Samsung website and connect your Tab to the computer. It should prompt you that a firmware update is available. While the update is being installed, your Tab will not show as being connected to Kies. Just wait until your device boots up again and disconnect. My device was the same way and didn't receive the OTA update right away.
Don't update it. It just causes more problems.

Before upgrading my Tab I received a small software update on the day the update was released. Then I was able to get the firmware update through Kies.

Looks like the AT&T Tab S2 now supports NumberSync. Can someone post the AT&T Marshmallow ROM? I'd like to install it on my international SM-T815, and see if I can get calls to work. Also, the AT&T ROM should allow the Samsung Gear app to work.

You neither could nor would want to install the att firmware on your device.
If it could and you somehow managed to flash the bootloader you would end up with a locked device forever.
Flashing the system.img is possible, but why when the MM software is already available for your device?

Like I said:
1. I would like to use the Numbersync feature so I can share the same phone number across all my devices.
2. I would like to install the Samsung Gear app from the PlayStore so I can pair the tablet with my watch.
Instead of messing with the SM-T817A ROM, I'll probably just pick up a tablet from AT&T.

So if I have the Sm-t817a tablet will I eventually get the MM update? I bought it off Craigslist the other day and didn't care about the LTE but it was perfect condition 9.7" for $300 . I don't really care about rooting it or anything and it sounds like I'd be screwed anyway if I was bit I have my Nexus devices for that.

So, How did it go? I got the update a couple of days after you and everything is perfect except for the keyboard. Very Often, while I am typing, the system inserts spaces and misses characters etc. It can be a real pain in the a$$ to type on the tablet now.
Well, here we are, 17 days later; and the typing problem is Long Gone. Weird... But, Good !!
BTW
I performed a factory reset before and after upgrading just to be safe.
Anyone else ever receive the update? I'm still stuck on Lollipop.

I finally got the update. I didn't have my AT&T sim in the tablet anymore. As soon as I put the AT&T sim back in and checked for the update, it pushed out. Not sure if this will affect anyone else or not.
won't find the update
I've tried doing the update OTA and it hasn't found it yet.
I've tried to do it through KIES and it says that this device is supported by Smartswitch and won't let me do it that way.
I want to do it through Odin, but I cannot find the update file.
Does anyone have a link or copy of the rom so I can get mine updated?
Thanks!
After talking with AT&T, the only way to update this tablet without AT&T service is to go to Best Buy and have them push it for you manually. Alternatively, you can call Samsung @800 726 7864 and they have a way to push it from the cloud or something.
Yes, old thread, but this tablet is STILL the bomb and many people are buying them used off of eBay only to find the last owner never bothered to update to Marshmallow.

I was in the market for a new e-reader (OG Nook Book just wasn't cutting it any longer). Ended up with a Tab 2, but the Nook version due to the additional $50 discount. Was surprised it came with MM, but now I'm trying to figure out how I can get Nougat on it. This tablet really is the bomb!
