Kies connection with CDMA Tabs? (CDMA=Sprint/Verizon)

Has anyone with Sprint or Verizon Galaxy Tabs been able to connect to Kies?
If so, please explain how you did...
Thanks in advance!

+1... But I suppose only if there is a compelling reason to connect to kies..

how to connect, I'm also using a sprint tab, there is no options to connect to Kies
why?

I also have Spring and have had no luck

Going off Samsungs website, the kies program is not made yet for the US tabs but they are working on it..
Got this from their faq page for the galaxy tab.

[Q] Tethering with i400

Has anyone had any luck getting Barnacle or Google's wifi-tether going on the i400?

Goods question. I'm curious for the answer.

That works if you root download the latest beta

Easy tether also works without root, but it's not a wireless tether.

Trailblazer101, I'll give the latest beta a shot. Thanks.

Worked fine!
Update (about 3 days late)
After flashing my GPAD to Vegan, I did get ad-hoc to work through the tether app installed on the continuum (for the newbies like myself: Android has adhoc connecting disabled by default, so you have to use -- from what I can tell -- a custom ROM to connect to an adhoc wireless connection).
The Continuum only needed to be rooted so tethering could be installed.

Trying to root my Continuum. Tried the one click but it just locked up my phone. Pulled battery, do I do it again?
I'm totally new on the androids.
suggestions?

The "ota", meaning the system update on the phone? yes.

Yes that is what I was referring to :-/
As of right now, you cannot root... I was previously rooted, but the update made it go away T_T. Bubby323 is getting a continuum for a little bit and should have it updated soon

I bought my Continuum yesterday, the 22nd. An update was immediately applied. Spent hours trying to root. Z4root (my go-to) wouldn't work after countless attempts. Gave up on an update.zip recovery. SUPERONECLICK is exactly how I was finally able to root...

anyone get wifi tether to work with froyo update?

ive been using wireless tether 3.0 beta without a problem just select sasmsung fascinate then enable softap mode.

works thanks

I'm currently using Open Garden. It seems to be working great so far. I actually paid for the full version of EasyTether, and there's problems with the Continuum and EasyTether. Evidentially, USB debugging times out after a while. It's no biggie though, for me, because using a wifi tether app is so much simpler.

The new beta from Google works the best because you can enable softap mode so linux and playstations will pick it up. Open garden, barnacle, the wireless tether from the market just use adhoc frequincies so not everything will pick it up.

Ahh... I was not aware of that. Thanks for that info!

The Google beta app works, but my primary problem with it is the fact that it turns off BT every time I tether. I'll be using Open Garden until a newer version is released that doesn't affect my BT connection.

Z4root + wifi tethering not working right...

I'm kind of a noob to all this stuff so please go easy on me. Anyways, my phone wouldn't root on my laptop because the laptop wouldn't recognize it even after installing drivers and trying a million times so I couldn't root through that. So I turned to z4root which was a one click app root on the market...since then everythings worked good like superuser titanium backup etc. But for some reason my wifi tetherin won't work...any ideas?
It comes up as a network on my computer with good strength but when I go to connect it never does...
Thanks

No actually I have 2 laptops...one is running windows vista 64 bit which I was thinking might be a reason...and my other one is the Google chrome os cr-48 notebook...neither can connect :/...any other ideas?
Could it be a sucky root or something?
Thanks again...

Really? I haven't had any trouble connecting Windows 7 to my wifi tether.
To the OP, do you have access control on? If so, you may have to grant the computer access. Press menu, access control and select your computer on that screen, then apply changes. Hope this helps.

Why.don't u try mobileap? What wifi tether are you using? It wouldn't be your root. That has nothing to do with it. Your either rooted or your not.

Im not home right now but I definitely will when I get a chance...ive tried barnacle wifi and wireless tether...but that's what I figured "either rooted or not" :/
Anyways heres a few screenshots of what's happening...

Funny yet sad

I just think my situation with my phone if quite funny first off my storage doesn't work anymore but charge still does, so if I make any mistakes I have about 2 minutes to odin anything and that's if my phone decides to read on my computer, I've tried many things to fix it nothing worked lol. I'm just grateful we have a awesome dev like jt and nemesis + others won I can't recall but I'm sure they know who they are...yup talking about you big guy up stairs...you keep me up all night and give me time to be on my phone on xda to make a meaningless post such as this with all your noise, lol jk. But yes thanks devs of the fascinate and all who contribute, and swype for putting up with my bad spelling

I would try to reinstall the phone drivers to try and get data going again
A) If you are using a Touchwiz based ROM (COMROM, Evil Fascinate) you will need the Samsung Fascinate driver.
B) If you are using a MTD based ROM (CM7, MIUI, OMFGB) you will need to use the Nexus S drivers.
Failing that a complete uninstall/reinstall of the windows USB stack can sometimes help. m Additionally, judging by your wording it sounds like Odin working is intermittent. That could be the sign of a failing USB cable.

Haven't tried nexus drivers I an on mtd miui
Sent from my I500 using XDA Premium App

Yup if you are on an mtd rom you need the nexus drivers.

Never updated my drivers. Never had problems connecting my phone to USB. I used USB Mass Storage, ODIN, USB Mass Storage in CWM, etc. Still just using the standard Samsung development drivers that I've always used for Windows 7 for my fascinate.

Thats wonderful for you.

so i installed the nexus drivers and now my usb works thanks alot, but im still a lil confused on how my problem started in com rom 2.1 though lol i guess i will never know

Nah, you have to buy the new OS on the Mac App Store for $30. Great deal in my opinion compared to Windows 7 Prices ($200+ jeezus!)
@Korey, what's 10.7.2? Isn't it the dev release of the new update or something?

I'll start by saying I've been Snow Leopard as long as I've had the Epic.
You trying to connect through a Cinema Display? When I connect my Epic to the monitor (24 inch with 3 usb ports) it never mounts, but if I connect it straight to the MacPro it does. Never been able to figure that one out, but I've found that to be the case. Real PITA because all of the USB ports on the MacPro and both Cinema Displays are used - although one of the ports on the display is used on a handy charging cable for the phone.
That said I've never had trouble mounting on Windows, straight to my PC or through a hub.
I think it's just a problem between Macs and our phone.
Sidenote - sometimes when I connect my Epic to the Cinema Display it causes a freak out and the Mac says a device was trying to draw too much current so it disconnects the hub inside the Cinema display which disconnects all connected peripherals, the webcam, and the speakers until I disconnect the screen's USB cable from the back of the tower and reconnect. Anyone have a clue how to prevent this?

I don't mean an upgrade. I mean the full thing. Yeah some are cheaper, but I mean ones like W7 Ultimate is very pricey

Glad to hear it's not just happening to me. Hoping Apple pushes out an update.
If anyone figures out how to mount their phone please reply in this thread.
Thx!

You guys had any luck getting this working? I have the same issue ... Running Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire.

Same here as well. although. I noticed the my Mac Book pro that gave with 10.7 doesn't read my epic as a mass storage device. But when I plug it into a friends mac book pro that was upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 detects mass storage just fine.
I downloaded, and installed a update for Kies, but that didn't seem to do anything either ( i have rebooted yet, will up date this post if it works after a reboot.).
If anyone figures this out please update this thread.

Fix
Shutdown you Mac, boot into safe mode. Press and hold shift key after the chime when you power on your mac. You will know that you're in safe mode because only programs that came with Lion will boot. Fully boot into Lion, then restart back into regular mode. Connect your phone, turn on USB mass storage mode. Should be working now. Apparently the issue has to do with corrupt driver cache.

$30 every year vs. $250 every 5 years, both companies are about the same just one releases quicker and gets ya for small chunks when your not looking
